“Hmm.”
Su Ming gave a slight nod as his reply.
Within the central command center of the Legendary Level Star Destroyer·Divine Concealment,
Commander Alekde occupied the command seat, his face etched with deep gravity.
Generals Gabres and Sigurd flanked the command chair on both sides.
Right then, a general-uniformed man, his features lined with deep creases and eyes piercingly keen, addressed him with deference.
“Commander Alekde, we've arrived at the interim defense perimeter.”
“Visado, what's the latest on the Mechanical Clan's troop movements?”
“From solid intel, they've razed the Haiduo Kingdom and are charging swiftly toward us.”
“How soon before they get here?”
“Given their pace, they'll reach us in about 2 hours and 11 minutes.”
“Link up all combat officers right away!”
Commander Alekde commanded with heavy resolve.
“Yes!”
Visado sprang into action without delay.
Whoosh whoosh!
Virtual holograms of individuals popped up across the vast operations display, each offering a respectful salute to Alekde.
“Commander!”
“With the foe closing in under two hours, time's short—let's run a quick battle briefing!”
Alekde declared with somber weight.
“Yes!”
The generals and all others echoed back in grave unison.
“This assault from the Mechanical Clan has depleted the frontline weapons, allowing them a fresh surge in rapid force buildup, meaning their ranks will surpass the previous assault!”
Alekde intoned deeply.
At those words, the gravity on every face deepened further.
“Rest easy, though—we've fortified our defenses thoroughly, and our ammo reserves are abundant! Now, onto the details. Intel shows the core attackers from the Mechanical Clan number seven, spearheaded by the Heroic Level VI·Elorazad Deputy Clan Leader, a being of immense might. No one piloting below V Generation Mecha should dare close in; it'd just mean pointless loss of life.”
Alekde informed the group.
“Understood!”
Nods of assent rippled through the assembly.
“Gabres, you take charge of this one!”
Alekde directed toward Gabres.
“No problem!”
Gabres shot back with keen enthusiasm.
“As for the VI-type Lord Level·Fremeka, Sigurd, you and your squad will pin it down.”
Alekde went on, assigning to Sigurd.
“Alright!”
Sigurd inclined his head in acknowledgment.
“General Su Ming!”
Alekde summoned.
“Present!”
Su Ming answered with firm solemnity.
“I'm leaving your deployment open—tackle the fight however you deem best.”
Alekde stated resolutely to Su Ming.
“Understood!”
Su Ming grasped the commander's plan at once; his Biological Mecha's active duration was constrained, so jumping in prematurely could exhaust it, making a late entry at the pivotal juncture wiser.
“Apart from those two VI-type behemoths, the offensive features the V-type Fortress Level·Ailakdo, which falls to the Legendary Level Star Destroyer·Divine Concealment alongside the Star Destroyer·Gray Crystal….”
Alekde swiftly distributed the engagement objectives.
“Yes!”
Solemn replies came from all.
“A few final points: our people are in evacuation, and the Mechanical Clan cannot breach under any circumstances—clear?
“Understood!”
“Moreover, we're not just holding the line against the Mechanical Clan; we must drive them off, since our comrades in the Mist Star Sea depend on our aid. Got the resolve for it?”
Alekde swept his gaze over them, his tone stern and pressing.
“Yes!”
Su Ming and the rest affirmed amid crushing tension.

————————————————–
Deep within the Mist Star Sea.
Sky Dome City's troops fought with bloodshot eyes, clashing savagely against the Dark Star Empire's forces like it was a blood feud.
Clank!
An Iron Guard's blade speared through the Grey Falcon Mecha's cockpit, which then burst apart in flames!
Instantly, a pair of Grey Falcons charged in, their blades slashing the Iron Guard and inflicting heavy harm.
“You scum, die together!”
The Sky Soldier within the Iron Guard Mecha triggered the self-explode mechanism.
Boom!
The tremendous blast hurled the two Grey Falcons aside.
Though the Dark Star Empire commanded forces several times larger than Sky Dome City's, the battle's momentum swung decisively toward Sky Dome City.
The Third Legion's warriors displayed unmatched valor, determined to drag at least one foe down with them, even in death.
In the heart of the Blood Ridge Fortress's command hub.
Operators kept delivering updates on the fray.
“Colonel Adagado from the Third Legion·Seventh Regiment has fallen….”
…
“Are they all incompetents? Four legions against one, and it's this grueling a scrap.”
Nozter spat out his rage in curses.
Clearly, they'd been the hunters, yet now they suffered the thrashing; it was a total humiliation.
Scarce moments after his outburst.
Boom!
Tiny stars detonated all over the Blood Ridge Fortress's hull.
The structure shuddered fiercely, nearly toppling Nozter, while the ops screen blared crimson alerts.
“Warning: K1 armor layer breached!”
…..
“What in blazes is happening?”
Nozter bellowed in fury.
“Sir, those maniacs from Sky Dome City hauled in heaps of Nuclear Bombs, focusing their barrage to hammer our fortress!”
The operator stammered out the report, voice quaking.
“You worthless idiots, eliminate them!”
Nozter berated his crew.
“Yes!”
The responses came in frantic haste.
Nozter shifted his gaze to the Aus Commander’s position, finding it in even worse straits.
Across the starry void.
Mo Xiu piloted the Thunder Angel, swinging the Thunder Pattern Blade in broad arcs to shatter clusters of surrounding mechas.
Suddenly, Dixis, Cafrolin, Lorina, and their comrades unleashed energy beams toward Mo Xiu.
Mo Xiu maneuvered the Thunder Angel with lightning-quick evasion, then surged forward with explosive speed at Lorina.
