Chapter 175: Chapter 175: Trapping the Enemy
Feng Mo seized the opportunity to coordinate with the small fleet units to target the 20 mechanical warships led by Lai Heng.
"Activate Fengshen's auto-targeting system. Lock onto the flagship of the mechanical fleet. Charge the main and auxiliary cannons and prepare the T5 Star Annihilation Cannon!"
At Feng Mo's command, Fengshen's T5 Star Annihilation Cannon glowed with a deep brown light, while the main and auxiliary cannons illuminated with blue energy, casting a dazzling aura.
"Your orders, Lord! Fengshen's main and auxiliary cannons are fully charged," reported Han Peipei.
Within the battlefield, the 40 starships detached from the Yunshan Fleet bore down on the 20 mechanical warships. After the bombardment from the 12 T5 Stealth Bombers, the energy shields of the mechanical warships were nearly depleted. In this confrontation, four T5 mechanical warships were already immobilized, while the shields on others shattered, their attempts to counterattack completely nullified by the Yunshan Fleet's defensive capabilities.
"Target the flagship. Don't hold back—fire!" Feng Mo commanded.
Fengshen's 20 main and auxiliary cannons fired in unison, unleashing blue beams that struck the flagship's shields. Despite being reinforced, the flagship's shield couldn't withstand the barrage. In seconds, the beams pierced through, tearing into the hull of the mechanical flagship.
Inside the control room of the Third Fleet's flagship, Lai Heng seethed. As he watched the deteriorating condition of his ship, a warning alarm blared.
"Alert! Fengshen's weaponry has locked onto the flagship. Shields critically damaged at 24%."
Even as the shields failed, explosions erupted, breaching both sides of the flagship. The once-dominant vessel was now left defenseless. Lai Heng, holding onto a sliver of hope, was about to issue a desperate command when the next alert echoed through the ship.
"Alert! Radar has detected an incoming energy attack. Identified as a T5 Star Annihilation Cannon. Commander, I advise evacuation."
"Silence!" Lai Heng roared. "As commander of the Third Fleet, I will not abandon my crew."
Back on Fengshen, Feng Mo watched with satisfaction as a brown beam drilled through the mechanical flagship, vaporizing sections of it. The impact led to a secondary explosion, shattering the entire vessel.
With Lai Heng's flagship eliminated, the remaining 15 T5 mechanical warships became vulnerable targets. Another round of bombardment from the main and auxiliary cannons crushed the remaining ships.
Meanwhile, on the main battlefield, Feng Mo witnessed the devastating power of the Yunshan Fleet's T5 Missile Cruiser. The launch of 2,000 T5 missiles overwhelmed the shields of the mechanical fleet, destroying over 50 warships.
With their strategic position crumbling under the pincer attack, the remaining 300 mechanical warships were swiftly dismantled. As the clean-up began, Feng Mo graciously offered only a 30% share of the war spoils to the Yunshan and Mo Yu Fleets, who eagerly accepted. Each T5 mechanical wreck would become valuable material, primed for refurbishment into formidable T5 starships.
"I leave this battlefield to both of you. Please deliver the share for Storm Kingdom to Beast Roar Prime Star," Feng Mo stated.
General Gu Jun and Commander Mo Hua knew Feng Mo still had to handle an invasion from a rogue mixed fleet in the Storm System but chose not to intervene. Once the call ended, Feng Mo issued his next order:
"Storm Fleet will remain here under Hua Qin's command. Fengshen and Kongxiang will reinforce Storm System."
Within the Storm System's eastern asteroid belt, a fierce battle ensued between two evenly matched fleets. The rogue fleet, comprising over 2,000 ships—mainly T4 and a few T5—matched the Storm Kingdom's fleet in numbers. Ai Er's fleet managed to hold off the enemy with the powerful T5 Orca-Class Star Carrier.
Despite sustaining heavy fire, the Orca-Class's drones had wreaked havoc, taking down nearly half of the enemy's T4 ships.
Then, a warning resonated within Orca's control room.
"Alert! An energy signature has locked onto Orca. Maximum shield power activated. Identified as a T5-class Star Annihilation Cannon."
Upon hearing this, Ai Er's expression grew tense. The rogue fleet wielded T5-class weapons, making them a formidable adversary.
"Alert! Shield strength at 32%," the system reported. The Annihilation Cannon had depleted a significant portion of Orca's shield energy with a single shot.
Such firepower shifted the stakes of the battle. Feng Mo, now briefed on the situation, felt an icy resolve form within him. He suspected that this rogue fleet was sent by someone high up in the Federation who wished him ill.
Without delay, he forwarded the surveillance footage of the rogue fleet, including the T5 Star Annihilation Cannon, to the powerful allies he had formed within the Federation: the prestigious Chu and Hua families, General Gu Jun,
the Yunshan Empire's parliament, and trusted nobles.
