Chapter 1258 - 697: The Mecha Has Rebelled!

What the heck?

The mecha pilot stared at the scene before him, completely bewildered.

He had fought east and west with the Arunta Empire and had seen a lot.

But this was the first time he had seen a planet turn into a giant cat to evade his attack.

For a moment, the pilot thought he was hallucinating.

He rubbed his eyes and looked again.

The planet still looked like a giant orange cat.

This is crazy!

The pilot cursed in his mind.

Being a professional warrior, even facing such a bizarre scene, he quickly regained his composure.

The Star-Breaking Blade in his hand slashed once more at the fleeing orange cat.

No matter what form the enemy took, his mission was to destroy the planet before him.

Even though he had some reservations about the order.

As a professional soldier, he unconditionally obeyed any command from the general!

Immense power surged out from the Star-Destroying Level mecha he piloted.

The exaggeratedly large Star-Breaking Blade emitted a stunning glow in space.

The Star-Breaking Blade was specifically developed by the Arunta Empire to destroy enemy planets.

Due to the constraints of the mecha's size, its shape was similar to the Ship-Slaying Blade.

Their sizes were also similar.

With this weapon's specifications, achieving the effect of splitting an enemy planet in one slash was almost impossible.

The principle of the Star-Breaking Blade was essentially to disrupt the planet's gravitational balance, causing it to self-destruct amid the imbalance.

Just as the mecha's third strike was finally about to land on the fleeing planet, the pilot suddenly found his mecha out of control.

None of the commands he issued to the mecha received an effective response.

"Number Eight! Number Eight! What's going on over there!"

The peculiar actions of the mecha executing the mission immediately caught the attention of the distant Arunta fleet.

However, only noise answered them.

Then they saw the mecha, which had just paused, begin moving once again.

Just when they thought it was just a brief daze, they realized the opponent had switched weapons.

"Damn it!" The fleet commander saw the mecha's actions and roared angrily into the communicator, "What are you doing? Why switch weapons? Your mission is to destroy the planet! Repeat! Your mission is to destroy the planet!"

Yet, the opponent was not listening.

As they spoke, the weapon in the mecha's hand had already switched to the Ship-Slaying Blade.

At the edge of the Ship-Slaying Blade, high-energy particles emitted a ghostly blue glow.

In the vicinity of the mecha, the Arunta Empire's fleet had gradually gained the upper hand on the battlefield.

The Interstellar Federation, having emerged in recent centuries, could contend evenly with the Arunta Empire in terms of the strongest combat forces, but it lacked the heritage built by the thousand-year-old Arunta Empire.

This resulted in the Interstellar Federation's main forces being the only ones able to withstand the Arunta Empire's offensive.

While there was a significant disparity in the number of main forces between the two sides.

Some say the current Emperor of Arunta loves extravagance, spending vast sums annually to maintain a colossal army to uphold the empire's prestige.

But it must be acknowledged that this expenditure nearly led to the collapse of the Interstellar Federation in the face of Arunta Empire's initial onslaught.

The situations occurring on this battlefield were simultaneously occurring on others.

The high-ranking officials of the Interstellar Federation had already anticipated the ferocity of the Arunta Empire's first wave of attack.

They had even preemptively evacuated civilians from the combat zones.

But they never imagined this offensive would be so fierce.

Other than the Enterprise flagship successfully withstanding the enemy attack, all other fronts crumbled instantaneously upon engagement.

Ultimately, the speed of their collapse caught up with the evacuation of civilians and industrial equipment.

When Alice arrived at this battlefield, the Arunta Empire was about to encircle the Enterprise.

If they managed to consume the main fleet surrounding the Enterprise, then the Arunta Empire would have won the greater part of this war.

"This is outrageous!"

Alice frowned angrily, watching the enemy already controlled by her Zombie Puppet Virus.

Wherever there are people, there are interests.

Where there are interests, there is war.

This is unavoidable.

So Alice could completely comprehend the occurrence of war.

But warfare aside, why deliberately kill civilians?

They are completely defenseless.

What Alice couldn't stand was this.

Originally, Alice just wanted to take the Enterprise away, not get involved in this war, but this behavior directly infuriated her.

She raised the Magic Staff in her hand.

"Go cut them down."

As soon as Alice gave the order, the mecha controlled by the Puppet Virus charged like an arrow shot off its string toward the Arunta Empire's fleet.

At the same time, Alice released two Star-Destroying Level mechas from her ship.

She originally wanted to call out the Celestial Thunder as well.

But Shen Sui stopped her.

"That's enough, destroying a fleet, three Star-Destroying Level mechas are already sufficient," Shen Sui said.

In situations where strength is already enough to handle the present situation, it's wise to keep a reserve.

This way, Celestial Thunder can become a trump card, tearing the enemy apart at the most critical moment.
