Chapter 154 Sacrifice

Su Mo felt a chill run down his spine the moment he saw the torpedo. If it hit, he had a premonition that the Heron would really be done for. Even if it didn't sink, any damage would make it impossible to break through the encirclement.

He wanted to intercept the torpedo, but he remembered that his concealed short-range rifle was out of ammunition. So, he lowered the beam cannon on his shoulder.

He fired a fierce shot.

Unfortunately, it still missed; he hadn't calculated the refraction angle correctly.

Su Mo's heart sank. He swung the chain gun in his hand.

*Ka-cha!*

He released the chain lock and threw the chain gun. As it flew, the sections of the chain separated and accelerated again.

It hit the torpedo instantly!

*Boom!*

A sky-piercing explosion shot upwards, and the massive shock wave tilted the entire Heron to the side.

"Ah!"

In the control room, Qian Chengxue asked in surprise, "What happened?"

"I don't know!"

Zi Qing and the others were also bewildered.

"I'm leaving this to you; I'll go take a look!"

Qian Chengxue temporarily transferred command to Zi Qing and Chen Xijie.

On the deck, Su Mo was just about to breathe a sigh of relief when he heard Qin Wang's desperate shouts.

"Su Mo, over here!"

Su Mo's nerves tightened, and he turned the mecha to look. He saw Qin Wang frantically pointing at the distant sea, regardless of the shell fragments falling from the sky. He could vaguely see another torpedo approaching.

His pupils constricted, and his mind raced, calculating an interception plan.

In an instant, Su Mo made a decision. He activated the Black Steel Envoy, running at full speed towards the deck railing.

The beam cannon fired preemptively. Success or failure would depend on this one shot.

Just as the beam was about to hit the torpedo, an unexpected change occurred.

The rear half of the torpedo suddenly disintegrated, and the warhead accelerated instantly, causing the beam cannon to miss.

Su Mo was completely stunned by this scene.

"It's over, it's over."

Qin Wang knelt down in despair. There was no hope left; being hit meant complete destruction.

But at that moment, Su Mo suddenly rushed past Qin Wang. He leaped off the ship, activating the back-mounted thrusters, and charged towards the incoming torpedo.

"This..."

Qin Wang was dumbfounded.

Without any surprises, Su Mo, piloting the Black Steel Envoy, collided with the torpedo.

Qian Chengxue, who had just rushed out, also saw this scene.

*Rumble~*

The sky-piercing explosion instantly engulfed the Black Steel Envoy, and the violent blast sent seawater flying everywhere.

"Su Mo!!!"

Qin Wang and the others cried out in despair.

Without a word, Qian Chengxue rushed towards the hangar.

Soon, Qian Chengxue, piloting the Dawn Envoy, rushed out of the hangar. She glanced at the area where the Black Steel Envoy had disappeared and remained silent, then reluctantly stopped as a swarm of fighters attacked again. She had to fight back.

She controlled the mecha to load the concealed short-range rifle, firing at the approaching missiles and fighters.

*Bang, bang~~*

Suddenly, Qin Wang shouted in terror again, "Torpedo!!!"

Qian Chengxue turned the Dawn Guardian around and saw another interference torpedo approaching from the left rear.

She narrowed her eyes, lowered the beam cannon, and fired!

*Boom~*

A huge explosion soared into the sky.

A single shot accurately hit the target.

Then, Qian Chengxue picked up the communicator and said to Zi Qing in the control room, "Sink the large battleship on the left rear!"

"Understood!"

Zi Qing immediately fired four torpedoes in return.

Instantly, the unremarkable ship was hit, and a massive explosion engulfed its hull. The ship began to sink.

At this moment, Qin Wang, still shaken, said to Qian Chengxue, "Commander, there should be another spy ship!"

"Which one?"

"I didn't see clearly which one fired it."

Qin Wang replied somewhat慌乱.

Qian Chengxue turned to everyone and asked, "Did anyone see it?"

"No."

Everyone shook their heads.

After receiving their replies, Qian Chengxue spoke in the communication channel to Zi Qing and the others, "There's another spy ship nearby; find it and destroy it!"

"Understood!"

Zi Qing and the others responded quickly.

Inside the control room! Zi Qing paused for a moment and picked up the communicator, asking on the public channel.

"Did anyone see who attacked the Heron?"

"Who was it? So despicable! If we find out, we'll definitely kill them!"

......

"Now that you mention it, I remember seeing the Black Fish ship launching a torpedo towards the Heron. I thought I was seeing things."

"Overlord, don't make wild accusations! You're the one crying foul!"

"Bullshit! I was right behind you and saw everything clearly."

"I think you were the one who launched it!"

"Damn it, I can't be bothered to argue with you, you scumbag!"

The captain of the Overlord roared furiously.

Then, an incredible scene unfolded: the Overlord suddenly accelerated and rammed into the Black Fish ship.

"What are you doing!"

The captain of the Black Fish was also somewhat慌乱.

"I'm going to ram you, you bastard! How dare you attack our people? Let's go to hell together!"

....

*Boom!*

The Overlord crashed straight into the Black Fish, creating a large breach in the Black Fish's hull. At the same time, the Overlord became stuck on the Black Fish, and both ships began to sink.

"Farewell, brothers!"

In the public channel, one captain after another called out to the captain of the Overlord.

On the deck, Qian Chengxue and the others were filled with awe at this scene.

In the public communication channel, Link solemnly ordered everyone, "Everyone, stay as far away from the Heron as possible, and give it enough safe space to avoid being attacked by someone with ulterior motives. Anyone who doesn't comply will be considered someone with malicious intent, and anyone can sink them!"

"Understood!"

Everyone responded.

At this moment, Chen Xijie suddenly stood up, her face filled with deep terror.

"What's wrong?"

Zi Qing asked, startled.

"I'm detecting a fleet entering the battlefield. The fleet size is five ships, including two Vanguard-class battleships and three nuclear-powered warships."

Chen Xijie's voice trembled slightly as she spoke.

In the public communication channel, everyone said in shock, "How is that possible!"

"Could it be a mistake? How could they have such strong forces?"

"Yeah, absolutely impossible! Where are there so many advanced warships now?"

......

Inside the mecha cockpit, Qian Chengxue naturally heard everyone's conversation. Although she didn't say anything, she couldn't help clenching her hands into fists, her knuckles cracking.

They were already unable to defeat the other side, and now two more Vanguard-class battleships had appeared. This was complete碾压. There was absolutely no hope of victory; no one could turn the tide.

Inside the Xiangyun's control room, Qingzi respectfully reported, "Lord Saki, the Takao Vanguard-class battleship and the Harukaze Vanguard-class battleship have led their fleet into the battlefield. Lady Yoko has arrived in person."

Saki's expression immediately became solemn upon hearing the name Yoko.

"Notify all fleets to transfer command! Obey Lady Yoko's commands."

"Understood!"
