220: Chapter 220: Not Optimistic 220: Chapter 220: Not Optimistic In the control room of the Gale, everyone was cheering for the victory they had just achieved. Suddenly, an operator reported in shock, “Captain Lin Ke, we have received a communication request from an unknown ship, and our radar has not detected the other party.” Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned. What was going on? They had received a communication request but had not detected the other party, which meant there was only one possibility: the performance of the opposing ship far exceeded their own. “Connect.” Lin Ke had a feeling that this was not a good sign. “Yes, sir!” The operator immediately established the communication. At this moment, Qian Chengxue’s cold voice arose as she casually spoke, “Hello, this is The Crane Orchid. I am Legion Leader Qian Chengxue of the Dawn Guild’s Tenth Legion.” Upon hearing Qian Chengxue introduce herself, the excitement was evident on the faces of the other crew members in the room. “The Crane Orchid is here too, now our chances of winning must have greatly increased.” “Yeah, it’s like adding wings to a tiger.” … Lin Ke coughed to signal everyone to quiet down before replying very politely, “Legion Leader Qian Chengxue, I am Commander Lin Ke of the Gale Fleet. We feel honored that you have decided to join this battle and fight alongside us.” “Captain Lin Ke, I am also pleased to fight shoulder to shoulder with you, but I must solemnly remind you that we have entered the encirclement of the enemy. The enemies you defeated earlier were just bait deliberately exposed by them, and this area is littered with special surveillance devices. Every move we make is captured by them, and they are now tightening the encirclement.” Qian Chengxue calmly announced. However, upon hearing her words, everyone exploded in commotion. “What! We are surrounded?” … “Quiet down! Legion Leader Qian Chengxue, what recommendations do you have for our current situation, and what should we do?” Lin Ke suppressed the shock in his heart and asked calmly. “Notify everyone to form up. We will engage the enemy in battle. I will join you. When narrow paths meet, the brave wins, and it is still undecided who will be the victor!” Qian Chengxue responded with confidence. “No problem, I will notify everyone right away!” Lin Ke took a deep breath, knowing they had to proceed according to Qian Chengxue’s suggestion. “I’ll leave it to you then!” After Qian Chengxue finished speaking, she hung up the communication. The fleets that had just won a battle soon received a mass notification from Lin Ke. “Respected comrades, I have to tell you some unfortunate news. I have just received the latest information from The Crane Orchid: we are surrounded by the enemy. The Crane Orchid is now drawing near us to join us in battle.” This news came like a cold shower on everyone’s heads, quieting down those who were still celebrating. However, it did not extinguish their excitable spirits. “Bring it on, we’re not afraid of them!” “Exactly, we’ve still got The Crane Orchid!” “Let’s take them down!” “Right, I’ve been waiting for this opportunity for a long time.” … The entire public channel was filled with excited voices. “Excellent, that’s the spirit I want to see. If you all think highly of me, Lin Ke, then please follow my command.” Lin Ke said with fervor. “I, Zhang Wang, on behalf of the Blade Fleet, am willing to follow your command.” Zhang Wang was the first to express his stance. Clearly, the situation was extremely tense, and it had reached a critical moment of life or death. Had it not been for The Crane Orchid’s timely message, the enemy could have already enveloped them before they realized it, and by then, it would have been too late. “We are willing to follow Captain Lin Ke’s…” “That’s right, Captain Lin Ke, please issue your orders.” … Seeing everyone’s response, Lin Ke dispensed with pleasantries and spoke directly, “At my command, all ships adjust your course, form a cone formation, and make enough space in the center for The Crane Orchid to join! Since they want to devour us, then I will pierce through their belly.” “Understood!” … On the torrential sea, fleets began to systematically adjust their formation. At this moment, everyone’s blood was boiling, with no one fearing death; all were prepared for a desperate struggle. In the control room of the Auspicious Cloud, Qingzi reported to Zuo Mu, “Sir, the target fleet is beginning to systematically form up and is moving toward The Crane Orchid as if to prepare for a breakthrough. Should we speed up and launch an attack?” “There’s an ancient proverb from the Z country, ‘Even when a lion fights a rabbit, he uses all his strength!’ As per the plan, how long until our aerial support arrives at the battlefield?” “Sir Zuo Mu is wise. Our aerial support is estimated to arrive at the battlefield in one hour,” Qingzi respectfully reported. Zuo Mu raised his hand, adjusted his watch, and said solemnly, “Pass the order down, continue tightening as planned. In one hour, initiate a full assault! Whoever sinks The Crane Orchid and washes away our disgrace shall be greatly commended!” “Understood!” Qingzi responded excitedly. In fact, the one Zuo Mu most wanted to annihilate was The Crane Orchid, as it was a testament to their humiliation. … Inside the command center of The Crane Orchid, Zi Qing continuously reported: “We estimate that in fifty minutes, we will join the fleet. The opposing fleet has given us the best position within their formation for protection and combat operations.” “Very good,” Qian Chengxue responded in a deep voice. At this moment, Su Mo said to Qian Chengxue, “I can’t be of much help here. I’ll go pilot my mecha and see if I can be of any assistance once the battle starts.” “Okay,” Qian Chengxue nodded slightly. Su Mo then left the control room. The rain outside grew heavier as he paused, lifting his head to gaze at the oppressive sky. His heart grew more restless, feeling an ominous premonition. At this time, the distant main fleet was rapidly approaching; the rendezvous was imminent. Su Mo exhaled deeply and without further thought, ran towards his mecha.

Suddenly, The Crane Orchid’s control room was once again filled with the piercing sound of alarms. “What’s happening?” Qian Chengxue’s heart skipped a beat! “Large numbers of aerial units have been detected approaching rapidly from directly ahead; they are expected to enter the battlefield within ten minutes!” Chen Xijie reported through clenched teeth. It seemed they were held in high regard. Their forces were already more numerous and on average more advanced. Yet the enemy had called for an aerial squadron. This looked like a plan to annihilate them completely, leaving no survivors. “Stay calm and continue to join with the fleet. We will meet the enemy’s push with resistance and their floods with barriers! When we fought alone, we never feared, and there is even less reason to be afraid now! It is not yet decided who will win or lose. Starting now, share our radar scanning information with the Gale.” Qian Chengxue’s beautiful face grew colder, and her eyes became more piercing. “Yes!” ….. Zi Qing and the others, too, were inspired and regained their confidence. Inside the command center of the Gale, Lin Ke looked at the radar information shared by The Crane Orchid. His expression grew more serious, the situation increasingly grim. If things went poorly, they might not make it out today.
