Chapter 86: A Crushing Battle

The Tiansuo spacecraft sent out this warning, which was thick with the smell of gunpowder. At the same time, the four full-dimensional energy cannons began to charge and warm up. At the muzzles, space faintly began to show spherical distortions. If anything went wrong, the other side would be immediately annihilated.

The Leite were merely a Fifth-grade Civilization and could not resist full-dimensional attacks at all.

Obviously, the other side had also vaguely guessed this situation, so there was an immediate response from Xiao Boru. On the main control room’s holographic screen, a Leite person in military uniform immediately appeared. Lin Lei recognized this attire; this guy was at least an intermediate general of the Leite People.

“Who exactly are you? Why are you interfering in the affairs of the Leite People?” As soon as this Leite person appeared and saw the black Crystallized Mecha of Lin Lei in the main control room, as well as Yan Qingming’s Armor of Light, his face immediately changed. The angry rebuke he had been ready to blurt out was forcibly stifled in his chest, and only this sentence, which sounded tough but was actually soft, came out.

Lin Lei took a step forward, the blood-red glowing eyes of the Mecha staring straight at this Leite person: “I am a special envoy of the Star Alliance, here to supervise the handover process of the Earthlings. Now, I have the authority to question everything happening on Mote Planet!”

After a pause, Lin Lei continued: “I now order all your warships to withdraw to the main spacecraft, and then open the observation permissions of the main spacecraft.”

“That is impossible! This is an internal affair of the Leite People; even the Star Alliance has no right to interfere. Moreover, your identity is unclear, so I cannot execute your orders!” this Leite person said with a stern exterior but a weak interior.

This made Lin Lei even more suspicious that there was something fishy about that large spacecraft. Perhaps they had transmitted some internal command, as the small spacecraft that had been flying out of Mote Planet all vanished within just a few minutes.

“Open your spacecraft’s observation permissions, otherwise it will be regarded as a provocation against the Star Alliance, and we will begin our attack! You have ten seconds!” Lin Lei ordered Old Xiao to lock onto the other side’s warships while starting the countdown.

“Ten, nine… four, three…”

The attack began, but it was not from Lin Lei’s Tiansuo spacecraft, but from the three opposing warships!

Their attacks were actually all of the Subspace Annihilation type; obviously, they intended to destroy Lin Lei’s spacecraft in one fell swoop.

But the Watcher Civilization’s full-dimensional protective shield was not to be trifled with. At the very instant the attack approached the Tiansuo spacecraft’s exterior, a phantom-like barrier appeared. This phantom was layered endlessly, making it impossible to tell how many layers there were. The opponent’s Subspace Annihilation cannon fire struck it, like a clay ox entering the sea, without causing any disturbance.

The current Tiansuo spacecraft was not a sitting duck; it was a warship of the Watcher Civilization’s technological level!

The full-dimensional energy cannons counterattacked at the first moment. Three beams of energy in the shape of composite helixes shot out from the muzzles, hitting the three unfortunate Leite warships respectively.

The result was naturally extremely tragic. The three warships did not even react; their Protective Force Fields were as good as nothing, directly penetrated silently by the full-dimensional energy. The energy struck the main bodies of the warships, and then the massive warships were evaporated!

This was a huge gap in technology; the Leite People were destined for tragedy.

The Tiansuo spacecraft immediately received a response from the other side’s main spacecraft. It was still that Leite general, but he no longer looked calm; he was sweating profusely with anxiety.

“Special Envoy of the Star Alliance, I think what happened before was a misunderstanding. We earnestly hope you come to our spacecraft to inspect!” His attitude took a 180-degree turn, leaving everyone on the Tiansuo spacecraft dumbfounded, hardly daring to believe their eyes.

“He is truly shameless,” Yan Qingming said with great disdain.

“Lin Lei, be careful of a trap. Be extremely careful when you go to their spacecraft later!” Old Xiao smelled the scent of a conspiracy. There were many shameless people in this world, but a Leite person who could become an intermediate general certainly wouldn’t be this idiotic.

“I understand, Old Xiao. I will go to the other side’s main spacecraft alone later. The full-dimensional energy cannons on the spacecraft will be ready to fire at any moment, maintaining their deterrent force!” Lin Lei said solemnly.

“Lin Lei, I will go with you.” The speaker was Li Dasong, clad in the Night Demon Mecha.

Lin Lei looked back at him, considered for a moment, and nodded: “Alright, come with me.” Li Dasong had only been practicing martial arts for a few days, so it was impossible for him to have much combat power. The reason Lin Lei was taking him was that he was confident he could keep him completely safe!

A dangerous environment was the best way to hone a person, and this was exactly the exercise Li Dasong needed most right now.

“Lei, be careful.” Yan Siyu looked at Lin Lei with worry.

“Don’t worry. This is just a small scene!” Lin Lei finished speaking and stepped onto the Tiansuo spacecraft’s transmission light ray, appearing outside the spacecraft. Li Dasong also followed closely behind.

The Tiansuo spacecraft and the Leite spacecraft were over a hundred kilometers apart. It seemed quite far, but in the Universe, it could be almost ignored. Even with Li Dasong piloting the Night Demon Mecha, he easily arrived near the Leite spacecraft in just over ten seconds.

The journey was uneventful, and the Leite spacecraft remained silent the whole time. Because the Leite spacecraft did not have advanced transmission light ray functions, the two had to follow the standard procedure to the spacecraft’s landing entrance. After waiting for at least half a minute, the spacecraft adjusted its field to prevent air leakage, allowing the two to enter.

Now it seemed that this spacecraft’s technology was not just ordinarily backward. Not to mention the Watcher Civilization, even the gap with the Apocalypse was quite huge.

Yet it was this level of technological strength that had forced the Earthlings to self-destruct. For a moment, Lin Lei felt a mixture of emotions in his heart. Earth’s future path of development still had a long way to go.

This spacecraft was a large one, over ten kilometers long, and the internal space was very spacious. As soon as Lin Lei entered the spacecraft, he saw a scene that filled him with extreme anger!

There were a dozen small spacecraft parked here, which was quite normal. However, this space was filled with Earthlings, and they were Earth women, mostly females under the age of thirty-five!

One had to know that after the Earth nuclear explosion, those who could survive, aside from the very lucky ones, were mostly young, healthy Earthlings, and males accounted for seventy percent.

Now these Leite People were in a hurry to transport these Earth females away. The malicious intent behind this was simply heinous; they wanted to make the Earthlings go extinct! Without women, hundreds of thousands of males returning to Earth, with no new generation produced, where would humanity be in a few decades?!

Earth did not have complete cloning technology, and the humans who had just returned to Earth did not have the technological foundation to do these things. What Earth needed most urgently now was not technological or economic development, but increasing the human population.

Lin Lei was furious to the point of madness. He could imagine what these Leite People would do. These Earth Human females were of no use to them; the result of secretly transporting them away could only be to secretly destroy them in a corner of the Universe!

This was simply the behavior of devils, unforgivable!

At this moment, the Leite reception personnel also arrived here. Seeing the two Mecha Warriors staring unblinkingly at the scene, an extremely awkward expression appeared on his face.

“Take them away, take them away, take these people away!” he waved his hand, roaring at the Leite soldiers stationed nearby.

“Stop! Leite People, the Star Alliance needs an explanation! What is going on with these Earth women? As far as I know, the handover has not started yet, so where are you rushing them off to?!” Lin Lei’s tone was cold enough to condense into ice shards.

“This… this, please, Special Envoy, come with me to see our general; he will give an explanation.” This Leite person looked up at the towering Crystallized Mecha. In his double pupils, the outer pupil showed no change, but if one looked closely, one could discover that his inner pupil had shrunk to a point. This was a sign of extreme nervousness in the Leite People.

With Lin Lei’s familiarity with the Leite People, he could tell at a glance. If he were told there was no conspiracy here, he wouldn’t believe it for a second.

Lin Lei snorted coldly and followed the receptionist without saying a word. If not for the concern of harming his Earth compatriots here, he could have struck and killed these Leite People immediately, and the Star Alliance wouldn’t have said anything.

The most important thing now was to control this spacecraft and not give the Leite People a chance to fight to the death.

“System, control the spacecraft’s network through the Mecha’s intelligent system. I need full permissions for this spacecraft!” Lin Lei had to ensure nothing went wrong.

“Cracking in progress… Taking over spacecraft control permissions. Host has been promoted to Captain of this spacecraft.”

The huge technological gap made the System’s cracking action exceptionally rapid. By the time Lin Lei became the Captain of the spacecraft, the Leite People hadn’t even discovered it, because Lin Lei had also taken over the spacecraft’s alarm functions. He had set all these changes as default. As long as the Leite People didn’t perform high-permission operations, they would never discover the fact that the spacecraft had changed owners.

Ten minutes later, Lin Lei and Li Dasong arrived at a vast space. This space was tens of thousands of square meters in size and hundreds of meters high. Here stood a row of Mechas, about a dozen of them. Judging by the appearance of these Mechas, they weren’t low-grade goods; they were at least on the same level as the Night Demon Mecha.

Among this row of Mechas, one was very advanced, entirely fire-red. Lin Lei could even tell that its material was Crystallized Material, though its quality was hard to say.

“What is going on here?” As Lin Lei spoke, he flicked the two Binding Blades in his hands. When he picked them up again, they had become two silver Moon Blades, weapons capable of both offense and defense.

By now, that Leite receptionist had long since fled, and Lin Lei couldn’t be bothered with this trash.

“A Warrior of the Watcher Civilization? I heard you are all very powerful.” That red Mecha suddenly took a few steps forward and shook the Blade Chain in its hand at Lin Lei. This was a weapon composed of blade segments made entirely of Crystallized Material, seven meters long, and it looked very cool.

Now, there was nothing more to say. Lin Lei whispered to Li Dasong behind him: “Focus on staying alive; don’t pursue killing the enemy!”

“Don’t worry!” Li Dasong gripped the Steady-state Photon Blade in his hand tightly, leaned his back against the cabin wall, and assumed a fully defensive posture.

“Then… good!” By the time he said the third word, Lin Lei’s Demon Crystallized Mecha had already arrived in front of that red Mecha with absolute speed. He stomped one foot directly onto the Blade Chain, and his two Moon Blades carved out several unfathomable arcs, slashing towards the vital points all over the red Mecha.

The red Mecha did not lose its composure because its weapon was pinned. It kicked up one leg, striking towards Lin Lei’s foot. Its speed was as fast as lightning; it seemed to be an expert, though it was unknown where the Leite People had found him.

Lin Lei’s hand movements remained unchanged, and his Mecha’s leg also lifted. When it came to this kind of underhanded leg trick, he was a master. As soon as the red Mecha raised its leg, Lin Lei saw through it and kicked it back with one foot, while his Mecha pressed forward aggressively another step.

Obviously, there was a gap in output power between the red Mecha and the Demon Crystallized Mecha. In a head-on clash, it was completely outmatched and could only fly backward.

But Lin Lei’s Moon Blades in his hands would not give it time to regroup; they immediately followed like shadows and pursued.

By this time, the other Mechas nearby finally reacted. Most of them attacked Lin Lei, while only two charged at Li Dasong.

The red Mecha reacted very quickly and had good combat experience. Perhaps an ordinary Watcher Warrior would have fallen for its tricks if careless, but it was facing a super soldier of the Star Alliance!

Lin Lei slashed down with one Moon Blade and sliced horizontally with the other, the attack lines forming a cross. He paid no heed to the Mechas attacking him from behind, because the technological gap was there. The level of the Night Demon Mecha simply could not break the defense of the Crystallized Mecha.

Here, only the red Mecha posed a slight threat to him. He really wondered if the Leite People had water in their brains to choose to attack the Star Alliance.

After one and a half seconds, the red Mecha’s hand and leg were cut off by Lin Lei. Even its energy core was dissected out. Finally, he gave a slap to the rear cabin cover of the Mecha, deforming it and sealing the person inside.

This guy’s neural reaction speed was abnormally fast. If not for the limitations of the Mecha, he wouldn’t have been defeated so quickly. This made Lin Lei interested in him, so he spared his life.

As for the rest, especially the two Mechas surrounding Li Dasong, they were sliced apart by Lin Lei the moment he freed himself. The cuts were smooth; the people inside were cut in two along with the Mecha, continuing the style Lin Lei had shown on the Galaxy Flight.

The remaining ten or so Mechas took Lin Lei less than 15 seconds.

“Dasong, follow me!” Lin Lei shouted in a low voice. Following the structural map of the spacecraft provided by the Crystallized Mecha’s intelligent system, he rushed all the way to the main control room! Since they had torn off the mask, Lin Lei had nothing to hold back.

“Execute Captain authority: seal all exits of this spacecraft. Isolate zones L, D, and C of the spacecraft; no Leite People are allowed to enter.” Through the holographic collector, Lin Lei had discovered that these places imprisoned Earth females. Isolating them was to prevent the Leite People from jumping over the wall like a desperate dog.

However, this could not fully guarantee the safety of these compatriots. Lin Lei had to take control of the highest leader of the Leite People on the spacecraft as soon as possible!
