You said mechs were going to fight monsters, but instead you're destroying stars with your bare

Chapter 111, First Battle

Inside the command center, a piercing alarm suddenly blared.

"In the fleet composition analysis... the flagship is one 'Izumo-class' helicopter destroyer, which has been converted into a light aircraft carrier."

"Six escort ships, designated as 'Akizuki-class' and 'Mogami-class'."

"A large number of 'Corrupted Mechs' and 'Elite Filthy Species' signals have also been detected!"

Xing quickly reported the enemy's intelligence, his tone tinged with seriousness.

"Just in time."

A cold smile appeared on Li Zhe's face.

"I was just worried about not having a place to train my troops, but they came to me on their own initiative."

He walked to the huge holographic strategic map and began to deploy it rapidly.

This was the first time since he became "commander" that he had truly commanded a fleet-sized battle in a real combat situation.

He wasn't nervous at all, but his hands were still trembling slightly with excitement.

"Hoshi, Kazuko!"

"exist!"

"exist!"

The two ship spirits stood on either side of him, awaiting orders.

"The goal this time is to train our troops and see how effective our combat readiness is. We don't aim to annihilate the enemy in one blow, but rather to use every type of attack method to finally wipe out the enemy!"

"As ordered!"

"Phase one: shore-based fire support."

Li Zhe tapped the map lightly, locking onto the enemy fleet's planned route.

"Star, activate the shore-based missile system. Once the enemy fleet enters optimal firing range, launch the first wave of attacks. Target: enemy destroyer!"

"As ordered!"

Inside the underground base on Starfish Island, dozens of launch silos disguised as mountain rocks were quietly activated.

One after another, shore-based anti-ship missiles, gleaming with a cold light, are poised to be launched.

"Phase two: two ships will be deployed."

Li Zhe's gaze fell upon the two ships on the screen that represented his strongest combat power.

"Platinum Star, remotely controlled by you."

"Your mission is to utilize its superior maneuverability and electronic warfare capabilities to immediately penetrate the enemy formation after the first wave of attacks, eliminate enemy carrier-based aircraft, and continuously conduct strong electromagnetic interference against the enemy flagship's radar and communication systems, completely sealing off this sea area and preventing any intelligence from leaking out!"

"Yes, Commander." Data streams flashed rapidly in Xing's golden eyes.

"Kazuko, the Yamato is in your hands now," Li Zhe said in a deep voice. "Your mission is simple: after the stars create an opportunity for you, use your main guns to launch a beyond-visual-range attack and send their ships to the bottom of the sea!"

"Yes, Commander!" Kazuko's eyes burned with fierce fighting spirit. "Mission accomplished!"

“The third stage…” A bloodthirsty smile appeared on Li Zhe’s lips. “If there are still any that have escaped, that’s perfect. Lure them in and conduct a rehearsal battle on Starfish Island. I will personally lead the attack and give them their final despair.”

Operational plan, deployment complete.

A battle to defend Starfish Island has begun...

……

Ten minutes later, the enemy fleet swaggered into the designated sea area.

Their original target was the main island of the Pudong Islands.

Using this as a springboard, they will retake the Ryukyu Islands.

We passed by Starfish Island, an inconspicuous little island, and just thought we could grab a bite to eat on the way.

They never imagined that this island harbored deadly fangs...

"Fire!"

Li Zhe gave the order.

Dozens of anti-ship missiles roared out, leaving long trails of flame!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

On the sea surface, huge fireballs exploded instantly.

The enemy fleet's formation was instantly shattered by the first wave of attacks.

The three destroyers at the forefront didn't even have a chance to react before their armor was penetrated and they slowly sank!

Just then, two ships of vastly different sizes quietly emerged from either side of Starfish Island.

The Platinum Star moved like a ghost, speeding through the wreckage of the enemy fleet.

Each dodge resulted in several "Filthy" carrier-based aircraft being accurately shot down by close-in weapon systems.

Furthermore, the star's strong electromagnetic interference rendered the enemy's flagship, the "Izumo," completely blind and deaf.

Just as the enemy's formation was thrown into chaos.

The Yamato unleashed a deafening roar at her fallen people.

"Main guns, fire salvo!"

Three massive 460mm main gun turrets slowly rotated and locked onto their target.

"boom--!!!!!"

Nine armor-piercing shells, each weighing a ton and a half, roared out amidst a deafening explosion!

Below 460mm, all beings are equal.

The entire sea surface seemed to tremble under the power of this salvo!

An Akizuki-class destroyer was hit precisely.

Thick armor is as fragile as paper in the face of armor-piercing rounds.

The entire warship was torn in two, breaking into two pieces amidst a towering burst of flames, and slowly sank to the bottom of the sea.

The battle raged fiercely on the sea.

Every salvo from the Yamato's main guns precisely took down an enemy ship.

Kazuko is also attached to Li Zhe's Ghost Wave Messenger, displaying the "Crimson Heretic" mecha form.

Wielding the "Kikuichimonji" katana, they engaged in boarding action.

They swiftly and decisively slaughtered all the elite savages who attempted to approach the Yamato in small boats.

However, the enemy still has a numerical advantage.

More than a dozen corrupted mechs have been assembled.

They've realized that there's an ambush on this unassuming island!
This island must be removed!

Head straight for the heart of this island!

The Fallen Mech changed course, preparing to land on Starfish Island.

"finally come."

Li Zhe stood in front of the screen in the command room, a cold smile on his face.

He knew it was his turn to take the stage.

"Ultimate Demon God, activate!"

A five-meter-tall ultimate mecha, blending black, white, gold, and red tones and exuding ultimate aesthetics, soared into the sky from the underground base on Starfish Island!

He descended like a god, standing before the group of fallen mechs who had just landed and hadn't even had a chance to get a foothold.

"Prepare for your doomsday!"

Li Zhe's voice was cold and devoid of any emotion.

He didn't even switch weapons.

With just the overwhelming power and speed of the mechs themselves, they unleashed a bloody killing storm in the enemy ranks!
One punch pierced through the cockpit of a corrupted mech!
With one kick, he cleaved another mech that was trying to escape in two!
The battle, from start to finish, lasted only a few dozen seconds.

He twisted the head out of the cockpit of the last corrupted mech.

The entire starfish island has returned to its former tranquility.

The enemy fleet and mech units were completely annihilated.

The Battle of Starfish Island ended in a complete victory for Li Zhe.
