Ephemeral clouds and works

Chapter 269 Reinforcements Arrive

    

vantage to rush towards Ripple, trying to control her upper body.The ripple was just a fist, when the other party got close, a punch landed in their belly, causing Francis to take two steps back. Ever...Hill turned his head to look at Kate walking towards him, a flicker of guilt in his eyes, as if he had done something wrong, and bowed his head.

Hill, your background and connections are the strongest in our class, but none of us are slouches either. Everyone here has some kind of leverage. Their targets might not just be you, it could be all of us. You don't have to shoulder this burden alone.

"Nice, the Colonel is responsible for the garrison and its protection. Guarding here is his duty, not just protecting us. Besides, this is the Blue Star's defense satellite, it also belongs to the United Empire, it's our territory! How could we let others occupy it!"

Kate finished speaking and patted Hill heavily on the shoulder.

"Kate is right, instead of dwelling here and blaming ourselves, we should focus on repairing more mechs so the mech soldiers can hold out for a while longer."

Ou-Yang teacher also agreed, not wanting to put more pressure on the little guy. He wanted to protect Hill, and he also wanted to protect the other students. These children are all the pillars of the Empire's future.

This time, with the sudden incident, everyone performed well. Kate soothed the crowd's emotions and organized everything. Even Hongtu joined the breakout group, and we still don't know the situation now.

Just then, the base alarm sounded again, and the broadcast crackled with the word "enemy attack." It was a sound they had grown all too familiar with lately.

"Don't overthink it, just do your best!"

After soothing Hill, he turned to Kate and said:

Take good care of yourselves and try to stick together!

Kate didn't say anything, she just nodded.

OuYang finished speaking and turned to leave. He had participated in the last few battles, and the situation at the base was getting worse. They had been under relentless attack by this group of space pirates for ten days, and they were starting to feel overwhelmed.

Looking at the teacher's leaving figure, Kate took a step forward, grabbed Hill and ran, saying as they ran:

"Anne is looking for you everywhere, saying she'll beat you up if you slack off! Come with me now! You know she doesn't have the patience to check the mech core database, that was something you two worked on together."

"Oh! Good!"

Hill immediately abandoned his previous thoughts and rushed toward the mecha hangar.

"Hill! Where did you run off to You're so busy, you dare to take a break!"

Before the Hillman even reached the mech, he saw Anne with a dark face, glaring at him fiercely. He stammered a little:

"Annie, don't be angry. I just went to wash my face, isn't this coming back"

"Hmph! Next time, tell me before you leave! Get to work on those numbers, I'm going to check the mechs next door!"

Anne's face finally relaxed, and Kate beside her gave Anne a knowing glance. The latter understood and softened her tone.

When the classmates saw Hill come back, they all breathed a sigh of relief and continued to devote themselves to the great task of assembling mechas.

This time, Ouyang wore his own golden mecha and charged into the pirate's mecha group with the stationed mecha soldiers, fighting them head-on.

They also didn't want to engage in this kind of close-quarters combat, but after a period of attacks, the station's defensive shield had suffered varying degrees of damage, and the pirates were constantly advancing, getting closer and closer to the shield.

In order to make the shield last longer, they could only retreat, luring the pirates into a certain range, and then engaging in mecha combat.

This way, the pirate's beam cannons won't be able to fire indiscriminately, unless they disregard their own lives. But this is also a distance that can be easily broken through. Once the stationary mecha troops retreat, the pirates will quickly rush to the defense shield and wreak havoc on it.

Today's battle was even more difficult. The pirates also realized their limit and sent out double the number of pirates to attack. Although the mecha troops at the garrison held their last line of defense, the casualties were higher than usual, and it seemed like they were about to tear open a hole.

Suddenly, a purple mecha burst into the battle formation. Wielding a long sword, it blocked a beam gun shot aimed at the mecha warrior and retaliated with a swipe of its hand, drawing a purple arc that instantly cleared a patch of ground. Shortly after, nearly eight hundred silver mechas joined the fight, assisting the stationed mecha soldiers in their counterattack.

Ouyang's heart leapt when he saw the familiar purple mecha. He immediately activated the mecha-specific channel:

"How are you all doing"

"Teacher, I'm fine. These are reinforcements we brought from the SFWL planet. They also ran into some trouble and could only send one squad of mechs."

Sean and I broke up. They went to the ZSWL planet to seek support. If successful, they will be back four days later than me!

Ripple had already sheathed his Lei Yao sword and was driving Lei Xi, charging left and right among the battle formations. His energy beam cannon had taken the lives of many space pirates, while also having to answer Ouyang's questions.

Seeing OuYang so frightened, he immediately commanded:

"Hongtu, your rescue mission is complete. Please evacuate the battlefield as soon as possible and rejoin your classmates!"

Ling's ripples listened and secretly curled her lips. She could only answer, "Yes," before slowing down the mecha's speed to prepare for a retreat. However, at this moment, a black giant mecha from the pirate mechas focused on Lei Xi.

Just now, the Star Pirate captain Leo discovered that the purple mecha was too agile, with almost no unnecessary movements. Every attack was almost never missed. Previously, it was this mecha that arrived in time to patch up the opening that was about to be torn apart, causing their attack to be for nothing.

At this time, the opponent slowed down. Leo, the pirate captain, immediately drove his heavy mech and crashed into the purple mech.

"Master, a black heavy mecha has locked onto you. It is charging towards you. Please take evasive action."

Ian and Lei Xi were currently in sync, responsible for monitoring the surroundings for Ripple. In fact, Ripple could do it with just a release of her divine sense, but in a place filled with war, she didn't want to expend too much of it, so she lazed around and got Ian to help out. Thankfully, Ian was very capable.

Ripple maneuvered her mech, leaping into the air to dodge a beam cannon blast. Then, with a swift side kick, she sent the pirate mech behind her flying. Her target was the black mech that had been locked onto her.

Leo's mech gripped the heavy sword in its hand and swung it down, cleaving the approaching enemy mech in two. It continued charging towards where Ripple was located.

Ripple saw this and raised an eyebrow, finding the pirate rather fierce, utterly lacking in distinction between friend and foe. After all, that was his comrade just now!

The next second, she discovered that the pirates who had been surrounding her before automatically gave way, as if afraid of being implicated.

Ripple wouldn't miss this chance. She immediately turned around, seizing the opportunity as the star pirates retreated. She dodged and weaved continuously, firing her beam cannon relentlessly, clearing out the surrounding star pirates in an instant.

Leo flew into a rage and immediately raised his hand, firing a blast at the purple mecha's back.

"Master, the beam cannon is attacking! It's unavoidable! There's no way to dodge! Activate the shields!"ay before. It was one time when we found a box of sausages from the ice layer, and then others discovered us and chased us wanting to grab them. We were in a panic and ran blindly, further and further...
