223: Chapter 223 Mutual Destruction 223: Chapter 223 Mutual Destruction Su Mo felt a sudden chill in his heart when he saw the torpedo, sensing that if it hit, The Crane Orchid was likely doomed here, even if it did not sink, any damage would prevent them from breaking through the encirclement. Just as he thought of intercepting the torpedo, he remembered that his concealed short-range rifle was out of bullets, so he lowered the beam cannon on his shoulder. He fired a fierce shot. Unfortunately, it went astray, the angle of refraction not properly calculated. Su Mo’s heart sank; he violently swung the chain gun in his hand. Crack! He released the chain and hurled the chain gun, which split segment by segment and accelerated a second time. It hit the torpedo instantly! Boom! An explosion that reached for the skies tilted the entire hull of The Crane Orchid. “Ah!” In the control room, Qian Chengxue urgently asked in surprise, “What happened?” “Don’t know!” Zi Qing and the others were also dumbfounded. “I’ll leave this to you, I’m going out to take a look!” Qian Chengxue temporarily transferred command to Zi Qing and Chen Xijie. On deck, just as Su Mo was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he heard Qin Wang’s desperate cries. “Su Mo, over here!” Su Mo tensed up, controlling his Mecha to turn around and look, only to see Qin Wang, not caring about the shells falling from the sky, frantically pointing to the sea nearby, where he could faintly make out another torpedo coming their way.

His pupils narrowed as his thoughts raced through his mind, calculating a plan to intercept. But in an instant, Su Mo made his decision; he pushed the Black Steel Envoy to its limits, running full speed toward that side of the railing on the deck. The beam cannon also fired with its first prediction, and success or failure hung in the balance yet again. Just as the beam was about to strike the torpedo, something unexpected happened. The rear half of the torpedo suddenly disintegrated, and the front warhead accelerated instantly, passing by the beam cannon. This scene left Su Mo completely stunned. “It’s over, it’s all over.” Qin Wang knelt down in total despair, feeling all hope was lost. If they were to be hit, it would be the end. However, just then, Su Mo suddenly dashed past Qin Wang. He leaped from the battleship, activating his backpack jets and plunging headfirst towards the incoming torpedo. “This…” Qin Wang was dumbstruck. As expected, the Black Light Envoy piloted by Su Mo collided with the incoming torpedo. Qian Chengxue, who had just rushed out, witnessed this scene perfectly. Boom~ An enormous explosion engulfed the Black Steel Envoy, while the violent explosion sent sea water into the sky. “Su Mo!!!” Qin Wang and others cried out in shock. Without a word, Qian Chengxue dashed to the hangar. Soon after, Qian Chengxue piloted the Dawn Messenger out of the hangar; she glanced at the silent sea where the Black Steel Envoy had sunk, about to dive in to retrieve Su Mo. But as the fighter jets attacked again, Qian Chengxue was forced to stop and fight back. She loaded the concealed short-range rifle onto the Mecha and shot at the incoming missiles and fighter jets. Bang bang~~ Suddenly Qin Wang shouted again in terror, “Torpedo!!!” Qian Chengxue controlling the Dawn Guard turned to look, only to see another decoy torpedo coming from the left rear. Her eyes narrowed as she lowered the beam cannon and fired a shot! Boom~ The massive explosion reached the sky. The unremarkable ship was hit in an instant, engulfed by a massive explosion that covered its hull, and it began to sink. Qin Wang, still shaken, said to Qian Chengxue, “Legion Leader, there must be another spy ship!” “Which one?” “I didn’t see clearly which one fired.” Qin Wang replied somewhat frantically. Qian Chengxue, controlling her mecha, turned to look at everyone and asked, “Did anyone see anything?” “No.” Everyone shook their heads one after another. After receiving the answers, Qian Chengxue spoke over the communication channel to Zi Qing and the others, “There is one more spy ship nearby, find it and destroy it!” “Understood!” Zi Qing and the others hurriedly responded. Inside the control room, Zi Qing paused before picking up the communicator and asked over the public channel. “Did anyone see who ambushed The Crane Orchid?” “Who is it, so despicable. Let us know, and we will definitely kill them.” … “Now that you mention it, I remember seeing The Black Fish launching a torpedo in the direction of The Crane Orchid. I thought I was seeing things.” “Overlord, don’t slander people, the guilty party files the suit first.” “Bullshit, I was right behind you and saw everything clearly.” “I think it was you who launched it!” “Damn it, I can’t be bothered to argue with a scumbag like you!” The captain of the Overlord cursed furiously. Then an astonishing scene occurred, as the Overlord suddenly accelerated and rammed into the Black Grass. “What are you trying to do!” The captain of The Black Fish was also somewhat panicked. “Crash and kill you, bastard. Dare to ambush our people, let’s go to Hell together!” …. Boom! The Overlord slammed straight into the Black Grass, which was left with a huge breach, and the Overlord too became stuck to it, both ships beginning to sink. “Brothers, go in peace!” Over the public channel, one captain after another shouted to the captain of the Overlord. On the deck, Qian Chengxue and the others watched the scene and couldn’t help but pay their respects. Over the public communication channel, Lin Ke somberly issued an order to everyone, “Everyone keep as far away from The Crane Orchid as possible, give it enough safe space to avoid being ambushed by those with ill intent. If anyone doesn’t move away, they will be regarded as having bad intentions, and anyone can sink them!” “Understood!” Everyone responded in unison. At this moment, Chen Xijie suddenly stood up, her face showing deep shock and fear. “What happened?” Zi Qing was slightly startled and asked. “Scans have detected a fleet slicing into the battlefield, with a total of five ships, including two Vanguard Class battleships and three nuclear-powered warships.” Chen Xijie’s voice trembled slightly as she spoke. Over the public communication channel, people were in utter disbelief, saying, “How is that possible!” “Could it be a mistake? How could the enemy have such strong forces?” “Yeah, that’s absolutely impossible! Where are so many advanced ships right now?” … In the mecha cockpit, Qian Chengxue too had heard everyone’s conversation. Although she didn’t speak, she couldn’t help clenching her fists so tightly that the bones cracked. They were already unable to defeat the enemy, and now two Vanguard Class battleships had appeared out of nowhere, completely overwhelming them. There was no hope of victory, and no one could turn the tide. Inside the control room of the Auspicious Cloud, Qingzi respectfully reported, “Zuo Mu, sir, the Gaoxiong and the Spring Tide Vanguard Class battleships are leading the fleet into the battlefield, Nozomi herself is present.” Upon hearing the name Nozomi, Zuo Mu’s expression turned solemn. “Notify all fleets to transfer command authority! Follow Nozomi’s commands.” “Understood!”
