Mecha: Return of the Pioneers

Chapter 973 Palen-Nilgai’s Thoughts!

"Enemy ship sunk!"

On the bridge of EX178, someone's face became increasingly ugly.

That was SS Palen-Nirgai.

"How can this group of damn inferior races have such fighting power?!"

He didn't expect that while his own EX178 battlecruiser was still exchanging fire with the enemy ship, the human air force had already achieved its first victory.

Moreover, judging from the battlefield situation, the existence of EX178 seems to have become dispensable.

He saw all the actions of the human aviation team.

Whether it was dividing their forces to contain the three destroyers of Gatlantis, or attacking the Lasco-class assault cruiser Chengying alone, they all completed their tasks very well and guided the battlefield situation to a favorable situation for them.

Especially the platinum-colored space fighter, the combat power it (Chengying) displayed has far exceeded the description in the analysis report sent from the headquarters of the Gamilas Empire Star.

Before today, if someone had told Palen-Nilge that a space fighter dared to attack the anti-aircraft firepower network of a space cruiser head-on without being shot down, Palen-Nilge would definitely have sneered at it.

No member of either Gamiras or Gatlantis had ever managed to achieve such an outrageous result.

After all, space cruisers are not like aircraft carriers that lack anti-aircraft firepower and have to rely on the space fighters they carry to have combat effectiveness.

However, today, he saw a scene that was unbelievable to him.

A mere space fighter actually attacked the cruiser's defense firepower network head-on alone, and successfully shuttled back and forth in this deadly firepower network, playing with the Gatlantis cruiser in its hands in an almost teasing manner.

What kind of monster pilot is this? !
if…

There was a gleam of brilliance in Palen-Nilge's eyes.

Two completely opposite thoughts flashed through his mind.

But he secretly suppressed these two thoughts deep in his heart.

Now is not the time.

"boom!"

While Palen-Nilgay was thinking, EX178 finally achieved its goal.

But this record is not something worth bragging about.

After all, with the specifications of a battlecruiser, it has a huge advantage when fighting against a destroyer.

Vals-Langer's expression was slightly tense, but his eyes were fixed on the Yamato.

As an experienced battleship commander, he had already seen that the Yamato was hiding its weakness and had reached the limit of its ability to hide its weakness.

"That Terun (Earth) warship is indeed as powerful as reported. We are so lucky, but sad."

Vals-Langer understands the situation they are in.

Fortunately, EX178, which was chased by the Gatlantis fleet, finally escaped from danger, but sadly, he could imagine that after the enemy Gatlantis fleet of both sides was annihilated, the status of both sides would immediately undergo a reversal.

Friend or foe?

The possibility of the former is higher than all expectations.

How to do?
Vals-Langer glanced at the guard Palen-Nilge who was standing silently beside him and vaguely guessed his thoughts.

This high and mighty first-class citizen of Gamilas, the Lord of the Guards must also be thinking of a solution, right?
"boom!!"

After the destroyer sunk by He Ming's team led by Hiroki Shinohara and EX178, the last destroyer was also sunk by the combination of the two teams led by Yamamoto Ling and Kato Saburo.

Interestingly, the third destroyer was supposed to have been sunk by a team led by Yamamoto Ling.

But at the critical moment, a red-painted DWG262 space fighter with two DWG262 space fighters suddenly intervened in the battle, disrupting the rhythm of the team led by Yamamoto Ling on the spot.

If the members of Yamamoto Ling's team had not adjusted in time, the first casualty would probably have occurred.

To this end, Yamamoto Ling decisively adopted an action strategy. While keeping a close eye on the actions of the red DWG262, she delayed time and allowed the Kato Saburo team that came to join them to take action and sink the last destroyer.

Perhaps this was fate? How could the encounter between Yamamoto Ling and Melda Dietz turn out to be like this?
As the last destroyer was sunk, everyone's attention gradually turned to the enemy.

The Air Force's Type 99 space fighters quickly adjusted their formation and gathered around Chengying, appearing ready to attack at any time from Gamilas' side.

At the moment when the Zero Type 52 space fighter piloted by Yamamoto Ling and the DWG262 space fighter piloted by Melda Dietz passed each other, both sides seemed to notice the gazes cast at each other.

"Lieutenant. What do we do now?"

Melda Dietz's wingman asked.

Currently on the battlefield, the only surviving ship is the Lasco-class assault cruiser.

Should we continue to turn to sinking the Lasco-class assault cruisers, or should we be on guard against the air force that has been freed up?

The answer is self-evident.

"Be on full alert! Beware of the sudden attack from the Terun (Earth) people!"

Melda Dietz's expression gradually became solemn.

The strength displayed by the aviation team led by Chengying made Melda Dietz feel powerless.

Let’s not talk about the aviation team for now.

The image of Chengying moving easily and freely through the cruiser's anti-aircraft fire network continued to appear in his mind.

That kind of operation,

That kind of mobility,

Melda Dietz didn't think she could go that far.

It's as if it has become one with the fighter plane.

"boom!"

In this increasingly solemn atmosphere, a ray of light suddenly rose up.

It is a Lasco-class assault cruiser.

The Gatlantis cruiser, which was chasing EX178 with its minions, was finally turned into wreckage in this space after being squeezed out of all its combat data by the Yamato led by Okita Juzo. It was then fired at by three impact cannons.

"it's over!"

Vals-Lange's eyes flashed with solemnity and fierceness.

If something must be done, now is the time!
"captain!"

Just then, Palen-Nilgay suddenly spoke.

"Captain Parron. Go ahead."

Vals-Lange's eyes flashed and he spoke.

"Well! Captain, the intelligence that Gatlantis secretly infiltrated the edge of the galaxy is enough to clear our ship of the guilt of leaving the front without permission, but is it enough?"

The corners of Palen-Nilgai's mouth curled up slightly.

As a first-class Gamilas citizen, he knew very well the thoughts of those who were conquered by the Gamilas Empire and then became second-class Gamilas citizens of the Gamilas Empire.

They wanted to climb higher, they wanted to climb higher, they wanted to climb to the same level as the first-class Gamilas citizens they were.

To this end, they devoted themselves to Gamilas's war of conquest without hesitation, even at the cost of their own lives.

Therefore, he believed that his words would surely impress the captain, a second-class citizen of Gamilas.

"Go ahead, Captain Palen."

Vals-Lange's expression changed, and he spoke slowly.

"Haha! It's very simple! That is to bring back the information about the Yamato."
