Chapter 387: Chapter 318: The Mantis Stalks the Cicada, Unaware of the Oriole Behind (5-in-1)_4

And in front of the base, members of the Dark Dragon Association and the Ghost Shadow Sect were engaged in a horrific slaughter, with mech after mech being blown to pieces.

"I’ll be damned, the fight’s broken out!"

Ankaga exclaimed, shocked.

Su Ming took a glance at the melee before his gaze landed on the mouth of the sphalerite mining base.

"Ankaga, do you think the people and items we’re looking for could be inside this mining base?"

"It’s very likely."

Ankaga pondered before replying.

Hearing this, Su Ming no longer hesitated and said to Ankaga,

"Contact Rhein and get them over here!"

"No problem, they must have arrived by now after so much time!"

Ankaga immediately picked up a signal device and activated it.

Su Ming stood in place, overlooking the ongoing battle. He noticed Monica was not there; it looked like she must have been intercepted on the way.

About ten minutes later,

Ankaga excitedly shouted,

"They’re here!"

Su Ming turned around to look back and saw a series of figures appear against the distant sky, none other than Rhein and the others.

Soon, Rhein and his group, piloting their mechas, gracefully landed in front of Su Ming.

They had also brought Su Ming’s Slaughterer and Ankaga’s Iron Guard with them.

"Class leader, we’ve arrived."

Rhein and the others shouted excitedly; they’d been holding back for a long time and were finally ready to take action.

"You’ve worked hard. Ankaga, get on your mech!"

Su Ming walked toward the Slaughterer.

Ankaga wasted no time and dashed towards his Iron Guard.

It didn’t take long for the two of them to board their mechas, and Su Ming opened the squad’s communication channel, asking,

"Did Zhang Yi and the others tell you about the specific situation?"

"They did."

Rhein and the others promptly replied.

"Then I won’t repeat it. The Dark Dragon Association is our ally; the Ghost Shadow Sect is the enemy."

"Got it. So, do we go down now to help them?"

"Not for now! That mining base is the Ghost Shadow Sect’s, and now I suspect that the people and items are inside the base. So I’ve decided, while they’re locked in fierce combat, to sneak in and rescue the prisoners!"

Su Ming stated plainly. He wouldn’t miss out on such a good opportunity to benefit from their conflict.

"Alright!"

Rhein and the others replied without hesitation.

"Follow me!"

Su Ming piloted his mech, leading Rhein and the others away.

Ten minutes later,

Su Ming and his team appeared above the mountain enclosing the sphalerite mining base.

They piloted their mechas down the slope toward the main gate of the base. If one observed carefully, they could see that Mandy and a few others on their mechas were carrying large shield generators.

The two Flame Knights guarding the main gate noticed something amiss and turned around, looking up just in time.

Su Ming and Rhein piloted their mechas to a quick descent.

Crack!

Su Ming swung his particle light saber, cleanly slicing one Flame Knight in half.

Rhein used his gun to pierce through the cockpit of the other Flame Knight.

In an instant, both mechas guarding the gate were taken down.

Su Ming then took the lead, charging with his team through the open doors.

The corridor behind the gate was extremely wide, over a hundred meters high and twenty meters wide, but the metallic walls were very rough.

Su Ming and his team charged furiously inside, and when they reached the end, they arrived at a storage area.

There were metal encased boxes everywhere, all filled with freshly mined sphalerite ore.

Since the Ghost Shadow Sect lacked the technology to smelt on site, they only sorted and packaged the ore.

Additionally, there were quite a few guards present, led by a Second Generation Mecha·Beast Teeth, with the rest being Iron Heads and Iron Knight Mechas, along with numerous individuals in First Generation Single Soldier Armor.

"Who are you?"

The Garrison Captain promptly sounded the alarm while asking in shocked anger.

They had no idea when Su Ming and his group had infiltrated the base. The guards had sent no warning.

An ear-piercing alarm resounded throughout the entire base.

"We’re from the Dark Dragon Association. Today, we’ve come to flatten you lot. Take them down!"

Su Ming directly claimed to be from the Dark Dragon Association, speaking coldly.

He chose not to reveal his true identity but impersonate members of the Dark Dragon Association instead. His reason was simple: to prevent them from knowing that they were from the Imperial Court Academy and using hostages as leverage, which would have been a real hassle.

Rhein suddenly maneuvered his Gun Knight mech and charged with swift ferocity, aiming his gun at the Garrison Captain.

Before he could react, the spear pierced right into the cockpit and exploded the entire Beast Teeth Mecha.

Zhang Yi and the others opened fire on the rest of the mechas and personnel!

Screams and explosions rang out non-stop.

The scene was a one-sided massacre, which was not surprising since the main force of the Ghost Shadow Sect was not within the base.

In the blink of an eye, nearly all of the people in the reserve area were slaughtered.

That’s when Su Ming said to his team,

"Leave a few alive!"

"Okay!"

Rhein and the others responded immediately.

Soon, three surviving members of the Ghost Shadow Sect were brought before Su Ming, kneeling on the ground, trembling.

Su Ming asked coldly,

"Where are the people you captured being held?"

The three prisoners were taken aback, their faces filled with fear, too scared to utter a word.

But Su Ming had no time to waste with them. He swung his particle light saber, instantly vaporizing one of the captives.

Seeing their comrade evaporate, the remaining two prisoners spoke up in utter fear,

"They’re locked up on the second underground level in the prison! Spare us, we’ve told you everything."

"Lead the way!"

After getting the answer he wanted, Su Ming immediately told the two.
