Destiny Mission of game ‘Star Ring’
Chapter 160 - 160 160 Protection Two More

160: Chapter 160: Protection (Two More) 160: Chapter 160: Protection (Two More) Zhang Ru also let out a heartfelt sigh—it all came down to this ending.

Just then, a tall figure leaped over with incredible speed, and in midair, the sharp Alloy Blade swept across.

Clang!

The two drones that approached instantly were sliced in half!

Boom, boom, boom—the explosions erupted.

Following that, the Azure Mecha landed on the deck.

“Su Mo!”

Zhou Qian and the others, upon seeing the figure rushing over, shouted excitedly.

After landing, Su Mo swiftly retracted the Alloy Blade and took out his short-range rifle to shoot at the approaching drones.

He intended to make himself a bastion of firepower and guard The Crane Orchid’s main cannon.

Inside the Cangyun’s control room, Ling Yin watched the Mecha in the transmitted image.

“Clear them!”

Her face twisted slightly—she had been so close.

The drones she controlled almost managed to destroy the main cannon, but now this guy had blocked them.

Ling Yin’s gaze grew colder as she raised her right hand to touch the holographic screen and slid her finger across it, re-targeting the main cannon with several drones.

At the same time, she rapidly entered commands!

Holographic screens popped up with prompt after prompt,

“Missile Bay 6 unlocked!”

“Missile Bay 8 unlocked!”

….

After Ling Yin swiftly finished entering commands, she elegantly lifted her hand to press the black launch button!

Whoosh~~

The sky filled with missiles once again, turning into a dazzling stream of light, indiscriminately sweeping towards The Crane Orchid.

In the control room, Zi Die warned with panic, “The enemy has launched another missile salvo, this time from the front!”

Qian Chengxue turned to Zi Qing and asked, “How many missiles do we have left?”

“Less than twenty percent!

And most of them are not suitable for interception!”

Zi Qing rapidly checked the ammunition depot and replied through gritted teeth.

Qian Chengxue actually wanted to launch those missiles, but she eventually restrained the urge and said,

“After the main cannon has finished charging, we’ll use the remaining missiles to launch our final attack.”

“Understood, but what do we do now?

Those missiles are coming.”

“Evade, take it head-on!”

Qian Chengxue raised her head, her expression exceptionally firm.

The close-defense guns were more than half destroyed, and the ammunition was nearly depleted.

There was no solution to this round except to take it head-on.

If they could withstand it, there’d be a chance at life; otherwise, it would be the end…

Lin Zinuo and the others all stood rigid, unable to utter a single word.

Above The Crane Orchid’s deck, Su Mo stood tall in front of the main cannon, frantically shooting down the approaching drones and their missiles.

Casings clattered to the ground.

One after another, the drones were blown up in midair.

Su Mo was like an insurmountable rampart.

But this ferocity came at a price!

The ammunition inside the gun depleted rapidly.

It was at that moment that Su Mo seemed to hear a whistling sound approaching, and he instinctively looked up.

The sky was full of missiles falling like a meteor shower.

Su Mo took a deep breath and without hesitation pressed the launch button; the launcher in his abdomen opened.

Two missiles shot out, and simultaneously, Su Mo’s pupils contracted as he calculated the approaching missiles’ most threatening ones.

The small beam cannon on his shoulder fired a shot.

Boom, boom, boom!

In an instant, a multitude of missiles hit The Crane Orchid, triggering a chain of explosions.

For a moment, The Crane Orchid seemed to be engulfed in the blast, with flames shooting straight into the sky.

Of course, The Crane Orchid wasn’t the only one to suffer, as the Blue Cloud was also affected by this round of strikes.

Most unluckily, its ammunition depot was hit, and the entire ship went down.

However, as the remnants of the explosion gradually dissipated, only to see Su Mo piloting the Mecha still standing in front of the main cannon, half of the entire Mecha blasted black.

The rifle in his hand had been tossed to the ground, replaced by the Alloy Blade.

Inside the cockpit, Su Mo kept gasping for breath.

Just now, he had forcibly slashed a missile that had slipped through and used the body of the Mecha to block most of the impact.

In the corner, Zhang Ru and Zhang Wei let go of their hands clutching their heads and looked up toward the main cannon area.

Seeing Su Mo still standing there, they couldn’t help but swallow hard.

“He really is a freak.”

But before everyone could breathe a sigh of relief, the real threat arrived.

Whirring~

Groups of drones charged up frantically.

Su Mo took a deep breath, raised the Alloy Blade in his hand, and met them head-on.

With each slash, he cut one drone after another in half.

Boom Boom Boom!

The drones he destroyed kept exploding, continually dealing blow after blow to Su Mo.

Clenching his teeth, he endured the struggle, the giant frequent vibrations causing his internal organs to ache and blood to spill from the corner of his mouth.

The control screen kept popping up with red warning boxes!

“Chest armor damaged by forty percent.”

“TD32 conduction device malfunctioning.”

…

Inside the Cangyun, Ling Yin looked at Su Mo desperately holding on, a cruel smile appeared at the corner of her mouth; she could tell that this Second Generation Mecha was nearing its limit.

She raised her hand again, pushing icons of the drones toward the main cannon and Su Mo.

Everything was over!

At this moment, Su Mo, facing the swarming drones, felt his scalp go completely numb, yet he still gritted his teeth and charged forward.

However, just then, several drones attacking him suddenly exploded prematurely.

Boom Boom Boom!

The huge explosion directly knocked the Azure Mecha to the ground.

Su Mo’s head banged hard against the control panel, blood flowing incessantly, his vision blurring and doubling.

He shook his head vigorously, forcing himself to regain clarity immediately, and pulled the control stick to get the Mecha to its feet.

But at that moment, another drone headed straight for him.

“Ah~ I’m done for.”

Su Mo’s tense expression suddenly relaxed, knowing full well that there was no way for him to avoid it.

Just then, a tremendous mechanical roar erupted behind Su Mo, followed by a silver figure flashing in front of him.

The silver Blade swept across, instantly exploding the drone that was attacking Su Mo.

“Qian Chengxue?”

Su Mo, looking at the Dawn Guardian that had appeared before him, was also astonished.

Normally, she should be in the control room, commanding the battle.

Of course, Qian Chengxue had no time to explain anything as she quickly charged toward the front of the cannon, sweeping her Blade at other drones that sought to attack while simultaneously tossing the Dawn Shield to Su Mo.

Su Mo controlled the Mecha to catch the Shield and got up.

Ling Yin, watching this scene through the visual, twisted her expression even more.

If she had been certain of victory before, now her situation had become a bit dangerous as The Crane Orchid’s main cannon was about to be fully charged.

Although it wasn’t certain to hit, it’s the “just in case” that she feared.

So, she could only control the drones to launch a more frenzied attack.

However, Su Mo had been tough enough to deal with on his own, and now with Qian Chengxue added to the mix.

Instantly, the suicide drones that charged in were either smashed apart by Su Mo with the Shield or sliced apart by Qian Chengxue.

The two of them coordinated exceptionally well, instantly stabilizing the precarious situation.

Not to mention, this Shield was incredibly useful, absorbing most of the blast’s impact.
