Mecha: Return of the Pioneers

Chapter 2094 A Devastating Blow!
"A planetary... a planetary-level fortress?! The civilization of this world actually possesses such powerful weapons?"

Theodore, the war commander of Tahuanga, suddenly felt that the situation was slipping out of his control and rapidly spiraling into an uncontrollable state that would eventually engulf him!
"Idiot! What are you standing there for? Evacuate! Evacuate immediately!"

Before Theodore could regain his senses, an order was suddenly issued from the Sage of Upper Stella.

"Sage, Sage, is it... is it the fleet?"

"Have the fleet cover our retreat! We must defend our planetary fortress at all costs! We must act quickly!"

The Sage decisively used his authority to abandon Theodore and forcibly put the planetary fortress of Tahuanga into an emergency jump state. He also ordered the Tahuanga unmanned fleet on the left and right flanks and inside the Salazar system to cover the evacuation of the planetary fortress.

Suddenly, the battlefield atmosphere, which had been turning the tide after the Azure Fleet's volley and the Ark of Destruction's entry into the fray, changed dramatically.

The surrounding Tahuangjia unmanned fleet no longer followed the established procedures. Under the command of the Tasage, they transformed into the most ferocious and fearless wolves, surging towards the Ark of Destruction from all directions.

Beams and missiles rained down on the Ark of Destruction as if they were free.

They don't seek to inflict casualties, but only to delay the destruction of the Ark!
"Your Highness! The enemy planetary fortress is about to withdraw from the battlefield!"

The CIC of the Girel tribe shouted loudly.

"Don't worry, it won't run away!"

King Kong's holographic projection appeared beside He Ming and said decisively.

"No prey can escape our Azure Fleet!"

"Let's do it, King Kong!"

"Yes, Admiral!"

"Azure Fleet, launch!"

With a wave of his right hand, King Kong, just as the Ark of Destruction burst into the battlefield in an extremely dazzling manner, took advantage of the moment when everyone's attention was drawn to the Ark of Destruction and simultaneously entered subspace underwater mode, quickly launching an attack along the signal beacon released by the dimensional submarine UX-01.

Thus, at this critical moment when the Tahuangga planetary fortress was about to make a drastic sacrifice, like a gecko cutting off its tail, allowing all Tahuangga warships to sacrifice themselves for cover, the Azure Fleet successfully surfaced on the left flank of the Tahuangga planetary fortress under the cover of the subspace. During the ascent, it released a strong energy reaction, creating a terrifying fluctuation that the Tahuangga planetary fortress could not ignore.

"Sage!! A strong energy fluctuation has been detected in the left flank of this fortress! Located in Red Zone 3! According to data comparison, it is a main gun barrage fired by the enemy fleet, posing a high threat!!"

The radar operator in Tahuanga screamed, startling Theodore, who widened his eyes and roared.

"Activate the protective shield immediately!! Abandon emergency jump!"

"No! Abandon the satellite fortress and initiate the emergency evacuation procedure for the core area! Quickly!! Don't hesitate!"

The Sage on the other end of the communication channel was even more decisive and resolute.

Being approached into the deadly Red Zone by the enemy without their knowledge sealed the fate of the planetary fortress.

What we need to do now is to preserve the Tahuanga people on the planetary fortress as much as possible!
In the face of losing their home planet, every member of the Tahuangga race is a valuable fighting force!
Planetary fortresses can be absent, but every death of a member of the Tahuangga race is a loss.

Moreover, there are at least 100,000 Tahuangga people in this planetary fortress.

Most of the Tahuangjia people cannot be evacuated in a short time, but at least the Tahuangjia people in the core area must be preserved!

At the Tower Sage's command, the core area rapidly released its shackles, lowering gate after gate, and simultaneously initiating an emergency jump procedure. A glimmer of light tearing through space was spotted by King Kong. "Don't even think about escaping!"

Hundreds of rifts appeared, tearing through subspace and quickly sending the rising warships back into real space.

The terrifying ripples created by the Azure Fleet's salvo just now appeared once again on this battlefield.

However, this time it did not originate from the space region where Iskandar and Gamilas are located, but rather from the red zone on the left flank of the Tahunga planetary fortress.

With this attack, the Tahuangga planetary fortress will have nowhere to escape!
"MACROSS Supergravity Wave Cannon!! Commence firing!!"

With a fierce roar, the cosmic region where the Salazar system was located was as if it were enveloped by thousands of thunderbolts, causing extremely terrifying fluctuations. It even blew away the Tahuangga warships located around the red zone, turning them into dust.

The aftershocks of the leak alone are terrifying.

And what about the person in question?

Under the joint calculation of all the cores of the sea fog, the "MACROSS super gravity wave cannon" unleashed by hundreds of warships of the Azure Fleet quickly merged with each other until it became a single MACROSS super gravity wave cannon.

In that instant, a dazzling star rose in the gateway region of the Salazar system, stealing the light from the entire galaxy.

Even the native stars of the Salazar system cannot compare to the brilliance at this moment; they pale in comparison and become just another ordinary member of this radiant landscape.

"Do not!!!"

Theodore's cry of alarm echoed from the core area of ​​the Tahuanga planetary fortress, becoming the last sound of the Tahuanga people abandoned in other parts of the fortress.

At this moment, countless rays of light converged into a single, merciful light that bestowed death, allowing these abandoned Tahuangjia people to die silently and without any pain.

The only ones who could feel the pain at this moment were Theodore and his companions, who had managed to enter the core area of ​​the emergency jump at the last second.

"I will send someone to meet you. Don't even think about going back to rescue people."

After coldly uttering a sentence, the Sage of the Tower disconnected the communication, leaving behind a group of people who were both relieved and shrouded in pain.

Could they have imagined that what was supposed to be a sure thing would turn out to be such an incredible reversal?

The Salazar system, which is clearly as weak as an ant, actually hides such a terrifying planetary fortress and an unreasonable fleet.

Not only do they possess terrifying main gun systems comparable to planetary fortresses, but they also have means of movement unknown to them, allowing them to approach their satellite fortress's red zone unnoticed and launch a sudden, fatal attack.

Are such terrifying enemies really native to this world?

Only the wise know the answer to this.

Otherwise, why would a sage who rarely intervenes directly in war suddenly intervene in the battle with such a strong attitude?

The Tahuangjia people, who had just survived the ordeal, exchanged glances, and finally all looked toward the command platform.

Theodore, the war commander of Tahuanga, watched with a somber expression as he filmed the last scene of the evacuation from the core area.

The scene of the planetary fortress being pierced by a devastating attack launched by the combined forces of the Azure Fleet.
