Chapter 452 – Shrek’s Might
TL : GoldenLung
Lan Xuanyu felt that it was a little unreal. Was the mecha in this image the same as the mechas he knew?
Then, he saw the first warship explode. That silver figure was like a ghost in space. It didn’t actually appear many times in space, but it always appeared on the main perspective. When it silently entered the warship and said the words ‘Shrek’, Lan Xuanyu was dumbstruck.
‘This is... Shrek Academy?’
The Silver Dragon Spear was stolen by these space pirates?
Explosions and rumblings resounded. There wasn’t a lot of fighting, and it was the end.
All 16 warships of the Red Skull Pirates were annihilated. When the last few warships started to escape, they were chased by the silver figure like a meteor and turned into brilliant fireworks in the universe.
The scene ended, and Lan Xuanyu was dumbstruck and dazzled. The power of a mecha could destroy a warship? There was no doubt that it was a god-rank mecha. He wasn’t sure if it was a dual-armored mecha or not. With his current strength, he didn’t even understand how that silver mecha destroyed so many warships. But the result was there.
How could an individual’s strength be so strong? So strong that even a fleet couldn’t contend against him.
Lan Xuanyu suddenly felt that his world view had been overturned.
The first time he had seen a person destroy a warship, it was Mr. Le who did it by stomping. This was the second time now and it was undoubtedly even more shocking this time.
The first time he saw it, he had doubts about whether he should choose the Interstellar Commanding Department. Inevitably, his doubts had become stronger. If an individual could reach this level and fight against a space warship, then what was the point of learning in the Interstellar Commanding Department ? If he had the time, why not increase his own strength and reach a level where he could destroy a space warship sooner?
After the video was played, a voice came from the news. “After verification, Shrek Academy has confirmed that they are responsible for the destruction of the Red Skull Pirates. It is said that the Silver Dragon Spear has been recovered. We will continue to follow up on the relevant matters.”
The broadcast of this news undoubtedly caused a huge uproar in the entire Federation.
Who would have thought that Shrek Academy’s revenge would come so quickly and so ferociously? A single person had gone and destroyed an entire space pirate crew. They were completely wiped out, not a single one left.
Just how terrifying was that person’s strength? Even now, no one knew which almighty from Shrek Academy had taken action.
The Silver Dragon Spear was taken back?
All of these didn’t seem to matter anymore. What was important was that Shrek Academy, which had always ben gentle, fair, and neutral, was actually so terrifying when it revealed its fangs.
The entire battle had taken less than half an hour! One man against an entire fleet.
People had always advocated individual heroism, so how could this battle not subvert Lan Xuanyu’s world view? The impact on the entire Federation, especially on mecha masters, was simply immeasurable.
For a period of time, news from all over the world kept coming in. The Mecha Master’s Association expressed that it was an extremely powerful god-rank mecha, and it was absolutely true that the power of the mecha could fight against a warship. It was made with the most recent cutting-edge technology, and the pilot of the mecha must be a god-rank big shot to have such strength.
Without a doubt, this battle had caused the reputation of the Mecha Master Association to rise.
Shrek Academy seemed peaceful, but how could its students not be affected when they saw the news?
Excitement ! After the Silver Dragon Spear was stolen, Shrek students were surprised and had begun to doubt the academy’s abilities. But now, those doubts had disappeared and were replaced with pride.
Whoever dares to offend my Shrek, however distant, shall be destroyed.
Information regarding the notorious Red Skull Pirates quickly appeared in the tracking report. In an instant, Shrek Academy’s reputation was amplified.
“Teacher, have you seen the news?” Lan Xuanyu dialed Tang Zhenhua’s number.
“I did.” Tang Zhenhua’s voice was slightly low.
“Can a single person really defeat a warship so easily? How could a fleet be so weak?” Lan Xuanyu asked. His heart was in a mess.
“Come over to my place,” Tang Zhenhua said in a low voice.
“Yes.”
Lan Xuanyu rushed out of the dormitory and went straight to the Interstellar Command’s center. When he reached the door, Tang Zhenhua was already waiting for him there.
“Follow me.” Tang Zhenhua waved at him and brought him to his office.
“Sit.” He pointed to the sofa.
Lan Xuanyu realized that there was something more in Tang Zhenhua’s eyes. He seemed somewhat helpless and even somewhat dissatisfied.
“Teacher, you...”
Tang Zhenhua waved his hand and said, “The academy is really unfriendly towards our Interstellar Command departement! We only have two to three kittens to begin with, and now who would apply to our department?”
“...” Lan Xuanyu was speechless.
Tang Zhenhua said, “Let me test you. If you were the commander of the fleet at that time, what order would you have given when faced with such a situation?”
Lan Xuanyu was stunned and thought to himself, ‘You haven’t taught me how to command an interstellar battle yet! But since Teacher has asked, I have to answer.’ After thinking for a moment, he said, “I might ask all the fleets to disperse and escape.”
“Why?” Tang Zhenhua asked.
Lan Xuanyu said, “The enemy only has one mecha, but he dared to face more than ten warships. And it’s in the vast space. Then, firstly, we can guess that this mecha is definitely not an ordinary one. At the very least, it can fly for a long time in space. To dare to intercept a whole fleet means that this person is either crazy or has absolute confidence in being able to fight against the fleet. Under such circumstances, the enemy has quickly destroyed a warship, so the possibility of being crazy is eliminated. This also means that unless the fleet has some other special trump card, it is almost impossible to fight against the other party. Then, the only option is to run.”
Tang Zhenhua looked at Lan Xuanyu with a complicated gaze and said, “With your limited knowledge, it’s already very good that you can think of all these. If I were the commander, that mecha wouldn’t have succeeded so easily. At least it wouldn’t have succeeded in a short period of time.”
“Are you thinking that if a mecha could reach this level of strength, what is the Interstellar Command Department for ?”
Lan Xuanyu didn’t hide his thoughts. “A little.”
Tang Zhenhua said, “Mechas aren’t the main force in interstellar battles. The Red Skull Pirates look to have a warship and Meteor-class assault spaceships, and their overall strength is considered very strong among pirates. But in fact, their warships are just ordinary spaceships. There is a huge gap between military warships and spaceships. Simply put, how could a mecha made of rare metal and a mecha made of ordinary alloy have the same battle power? Space pirates lack resources, and their warships are mostly modified from defective spaceships. The only bright spot of the Red Skull Pirates’ warships is their thrusters, which can reach a high speed within a short period of time. But this is at the expense of defense. At the same time, their interference system isn’t complete.”
“Interference system? Is an interference system useful against mechas? Shouldn’t it interfere with the warship’s ability to lock?” Lan Xuanyu asked doubtfully.
Tang Zhenhua said, “There are many types of interference systems, and the most important one is called a space interference device. This type of interference device is extremely expensive and far surpasses ordinary interference systems, but its use is extremely strong. But it is also very energy-consuming at the same time. Ordinary space warships wouldn’t be equipped with it, let alone pirates. But in war, if there is such an interference system, then that mecha wouldn’t have won so easily.”
