Mecha: Return of the Pioneers

Chapter 2090 Endless War!
Iskandar.

Queen of Iskandar, Stasia Iskandar, one of the three Iskandar currently in existence, looked with deep concern at the sky that had never ceased to burn since it was engulfed by flames.

"Is Stasia worried about Gamiras?"

The Empress's lover, Kogoro, led a little girl up to the high platform and took her into his arms.

"Shou, and little Sasha. What are you doing here? It's dangerous here."

Stasia raised her hand and gently pressed down on the arm that the Ancient Guardian had pulled into her embrace. Then she reached out and touched the little girl who was tugging at her clothes, looking at the sky engulfed in flames with some fear.

“If the enemy fleet attacks this area, it will be dangerous to hide anywhere. Rather than staying in the shelter and living in fear, it is better to stand with you.”

Although Kogoro's voice was gentle, it conveyed an exceptionally firm will.

"Yes! I agree with what Dad said."

Little Sasha nodded repeatedly, raising her little head as she looked at Stasia's furrowed brows and said in a clear voice.

"Really? Thank you, Sasha. Well then, let's stay here together!"

Stasia smiled gently, patted little Sasha's head, and then gestured to the mechanical puppet standing beside her to serve little Sasha some snacks.

Then, Stasia leaned back slightly, resting in her lover's arms.

"Shou, have you ever regretted not returning to Earth with the Yamato?"

"Why do you ask that? Stasia, you already know how I feel. And as proof, our little Sasha is right here watching us!"

Ancient Guardian chuckled softly, burying his face in the Empress's hair. Stasia instinctively wanted to get closer to her lover, but out of the corner of her eye, she saw a small face covered by hands, but the gaps between the fingers revealed a pair of curious eyes facing them.

A blush crept across her face as Stasia forced herself to become serious.

"Ahem. Shou. Miss Maya just sent a message that they have made contact with Earth. It's just that the distance is quite far, so the message is a little delayed."

"is it?"

In ancient times, the emperor would open his arms wide and gently embrace his lover's slender waist.

"It seems things are mostly alright on Earth. But I wonder if the Yamato will make its way here?"

Stasia shook her head slightly and sighed.

“I don’t know either. Ever since Iskandar and Gamiras were caught up in the Path of the Stars, we’ve been doing everything we can to figure out what’s going on around us. Besides, the solar system seemed to have vanished at that time, and we couldn’t contact it at all.”

"No need to worry! Since our friends have made contact with Earth, it means everything is safe and sound."

While the solar system was being swept into chaotic spacetime, Iskandar and Gamiras also endured hardships during the sudden spatial catastrophe that erupted on the Path of the Stars, and finally appeared in this universe.

After finally figuring out the situation, an enemy named Tahuanga suddenly appeared in the Andromeda Galaxy with his mercenary army, sweeping across the entire galaxy in a very short time.

Even with his strength somewhat restored, Gamiras was no match for him and suffered repeated defeats, ultimately remaining near his home star system and unable to step out of it again.

Fortunately, in this precarious situation, King Kong's Azure Fleet and reinforcements from the Morning Wind Elves arrived in time and intervened in the battle, helping Gamiras and Iskandar stabilize the situation. However, the enemy fleet was simply too large and too powerful.

Even a powerful fleet like the Azure Fleet, which can fight for a long time as long as it has enough nanomaterials, is gradually feeling the strain.

When the number of enemies reaches a certain point, even a game of mowing down enemies can become mentally exhausting.

The girls in the Azure Fleet have complained about this more than once in the Sea Fog's mental network.

Even if you use the Super Gravity Cannon, MACROSS Super Gravity Cannon, or even the Wave Cannon to clear the field in quick succession, the densely packed enemies will still surge back in a short time.

They're even more of a headache than ants crawling all over the ground.

This is also the origin of the fiery sky overhead that has never been extinguished since it was lit.

"That fire is burning really hard."

In a desolate region of space, about light-years away from Iskandar and Gamiras, a "rogue planet" shrouded in a vast amount of high-pressure gas is quietly flying along its planned orbit.

Meanwhile, countless observation devices hidden beneath the dense, high-pressure gas are aimed at the star systems of Iskandar and Gamiras, taking in everything that is happening there.

The sea of ​​fire, which continued to burn without any sign of going out, particularly shocked Giler, who was guarding the command center.

"Concentrate! Be on high alert at all times!"

"Now, who shall we pledge allegiance to?" Katsura Touko, the silver priestess in charge of the Ark of Destruction, loudly gave the order.

"Next, our Ark of Destruction will directly jump to the core area of ​​the enemy fleet and launch a surprise attack! All units must complete all checks and make final preparations before the operation begins!"

"It seems you're quite skilled already, Katsura Touko."

As He Ming's voice rang out, all the Gilelians in the control center stood up and bowed to He Ming with fervent expressions.

May the stars protect you, pioneer!

"No need for formalities! Thank you all for your hard work!"

"No! This is what we should do. It would be a sin for us to remain at the fortress and wait while our lord is in such a perilous situation!"

Katsura Touko placed her hand on her heart and said devoutly.

Upon learning of Iskandar's distress call and news of Maya and the Morning Breeze Spirits, He Ming, before even having time to arrange matters related to the escape of the Solar System, immediately instructed King Kong to notify the Ark of Destruction, which had been sent there by the witch, to launch a joint reinforcement operation.

"Alright! Enough with the flattery. Now, let's focus on supporting Iskandar and Gamiras's operations. Due to the special circumstances in the Solar System, I can only involve Kongo in the operation. Are there any difficulties with our combat capabilities?"

“No problem at all! The current Ark of Destruction is completely different from the White Comet era. With the support of the fortress, the Ark of Destruction no longer needs to stop and collect energy after each jump as it did before, for the time being!”

Katsura Touko said confidently.

"Now, if you wish, the Ark of Destruction can teleport directly from our current location to Iskandar at any time and destroy all enemies!"
