Mecha: Return of the Pioneers

Chapter 2096 Reunion with the Elf Princess!

"The 21st and 33rd unmanned fleets have completed the first phase of their combat mission and are now transitioning to the second phase of their annihilation mission!"

"The 45th Unmanned Fleet has suffered heavy losses and is returning to the Ark to rest and replenish its forces. It is expected to launch another attack in one hour and head to the P13 area to carry out an annihilation mission!"

"The 66th and 83rd unmanned fleets have completed their current annihilation mission and are turning towards L10 to reinforce the 53rd unmanned fleet!"

···
This is a week after the destruction of the planetary fortress of Tahuanga, the Ark of Destruction control center is busy directing the clearing of the remaining enemy forces in the Salazar system.

During this week, the unmanned fleet dispatched by the Ark of Destruction completed many missions, recovering two-thirds of the lost territory in the Salazar system, but also suffered considerable losses.

Fortunately, these are all unmanned fleets that can be replenished at any time, so there will be no loss of personnel.

of course.

This does not mean that the entire Salazar battlefield is only occupied by the unmanned fleet sent by the Ark of Destruction.

Under Demer's leadership, the Gamiras fleet also threw itself into the operation to reclaim the home system, but most of the time it was responsible for flanking cover and flanking maneuvers.

Despite Demel's confident declaration that he was willing to accept a more demanding task, He Ming refused. Why would he risk his own people's lives to fill the gaps when he held an absolute advantage?

Are the unmanned fleets of the Destroyer Ark just for show?
What's more, the fully unleashed Azure Fleet hasn't even had enough of fighting yet!

When will it be the turn of Gamiras's fleet to be tasked with a frontal assault?
Faced with the Ark of Destruction's countless unmanned fleets and the Azure Fleet that would clear out the field with wave cannons at any time, Demer and other Gamiras generals had no choice but to accept reality, even if they were unwilling.

The fleet of Gamiras is no match for the unmanned fleet of the Ark of Destruction and the Azure Fleet, which can launch frontal assaults with powerful weapons such as wave cannons, or launch surprise attacks on enemy fleets by subspace navigation.

However, Gamiras should also be thankful that another powerful competitor has not yet stepped forward to compete for the task of eliminating the remaining enemies.

"Long time no see! What's your name?"

The commander of the Morrowind Elf reinforcement fleet, the newly promoted Sky Knight Tidelina Morrowind, personally came to the Ark of Destruction to request a meeting with He Ming.

"Tidlina. It's been a long time! I can tell you've been through a lot lately."

After He Ming gestured for Tidelina to sit down, he had Belfast, who was standing by, serve her tea and refreshments.

"You too. Now, I can no longer feel that swirling wind from you."

Tidelina nodded, her gaze fixed intently on He Ming.

"Oh, is it so?"

He Ming recalled the moment when the two met: the seemingly aloof elven princess shouted the slogan "Windbreaker" and signaled him to duel.

Seeing He Ming's somewhat absent-minded gaze, Tidelina knew perfectly well that He Ming was recalling the scene when the two first met.

"Ahem. That was a mistake Tidelina made when she was immature! Please forgive her."

To outsiders, Tidlina, who appeared extremely aloof, now had a blush on her face, and even her long, white, pointed ears began to glow with a striking and beautiful rosy color.

"So much time has passed. It's all over now, Tidlina. Besides, you've already changed for the better, haven't you?"

He Ming waved his hand, looked at the refreshments brought by Belfast, and began to introduce them. "These are small cakes made by Belfast herself. They taste quite good and should suit Princess Tidlina's taste."

"Well then, thank you, Miss Belfast."

Tidelina nodded and thanked Belfast.

"No! You flatter me, Princess Tidlina! Please forgive my poor hospitality!"

“Miss Belfast, you are the one who is being presumptuous! Apart from my identity as a Sky Knight and a princess, I am just an ordinary girl.”

Tidlina shook her head and said.

Belfast smiled and nodded, then bowed slightly before returning to stand beside He Ming.

After another round of pleasantries, He Ming felt it was time to get down to business.

"Teedlina. What's the situation on Morningwind's homeworld now? Although the Ark of Destruction and I were able to arrive here so quickly thanks to the help of the Morningwind World Tree, due to the time constraints, I don't know much about the situation there."

Upon learning of Iskandar and Gamiras' situation, He Ming immediately rendezvoused with the Ark of Destruction, located at the edge of the Oort Cloud in the solar system. With the help of the methods left by the Witch on the Ark of Destruction, he established a temporary link with the World Tree of Morning Wind, allowing him to arrive here in a short time through a space jump that was almost like passing through a stargate, to support them.

"Yes, the situation is alright so far. The World Tree has successfully connected with the fortress. There's not much to worry about in terms of supplies and personnel. After all, the Morrowind Elves have other planets with stationed fleets besides their homeworld."

"These garrison fleets did not participate in the Star Wars, but chose to remain in place until the World Tree and the fortress were linked, at which point they provided timely reinforcements."

After briefly introducing the current situation of the Morning Breeze Elves, Tidlina continued.

"In addition, we discovered that the purpose of the Tahuangga clan in occupying the Andromeda Galaxy is not simple."

Tidlina raised her hand and pointed, and under her magical manipulation, a phantom screen lit up.

He Ming raised his eyes and looked over, and found that warships he had never seen before were appearing from one side of the virtual screen, but they quickly disappeared into the darkness.

"This is some intelligence gathered by our Morning Wind special forces. Based on our analysis of intelligence collected from various sources, we have basically confirmed that these warships are special unmanned warships manufactured by Tahuanga, and they are also very likely unmanned warships equipped with some kind of scanning device."

"Special equipment? Then, what is their target?"

He Ming asked thoughtfully.

"It is highly likely that it is for some black holes at the galactic center of the Andromeda Galaxy."

Tidelina looked at He Ming with a serious expression.

“I know that you, He Ming, recently resolved a black hole eruption incident on Earth. But, if we look at these two things together, it seems that the Ghost Face Clan used some data obtained from that black hole eruption incident to make a deal with Ta Huang Jia.”

"Furthermore, it led Tahuanga to make the decision to assist the Ghost Face Clan."

"He Ming, do you know what they really want to do?"
