The Skyhawk team encountered no resistance, smoothly reaching the enemy's rear.
Gu Ya magnified the camera to its highest setting and processed the image, revealing a horrifying scene on the display.
Countless enemy aircraft hovered in formation above the sea.
Each enemy aircraft was spaced approximately ten meters apart, leaving sufficient room for takeoff without harming other mechs.
Every thousand mechs formed a square, with several kilometers between each square, also arranged in neat formations.
The entire rear camp of Black Star stretched across hundreds of kilometers, a vista dominated by enemy mechs as far as the eye could see.
Light mechs were positioned at the front, medium mechs in the center, and heavy mech squadrons on the flanks.
In the very middle of the squadron cluster, an incredibly colossal super-heavy black mech, even larger than Windhouse 1, stood as the likely flagship mech for Black Star in this region.
Gu Ya estimated roughly that over a hundred enemy mech squadrons were deployed outside the permanent Gusty Mist sea defense line, not including those already engaged.
"Over a hundred thousand enemy mechs," Gu Ya stated calmly.
The enemy's numbers far exceeded everyone's expectations.
It was uncertain how many enemy mechs Windhouse 1's barrage could destroy, or even if it could reach them.
The enemy could swiftly take to the air to evade long-range attacks.
Furthermore, Windhouse had to descend to its firing altitude. With its immense size, it would likely be swarmed and destroyed before reaching the designated height.
Qiao Weiwei shivered and said hesitantly, "Gu Ya, are you sure you want to attack them? My entire ammunition supply can barely take down one squadron, and that's if they don't move."
Taona reminded him worriedly, "Captain, Black Star has likely noticed us. Their current inaction doesn't mean they're ignoring us. Why don't we retreat first? And fight on the main front?"
Gu Ya suddenly spoke, "I've been pondering a question: how to destroy a hundred thousand enemy mechs in one move."
Qiao Weiwei cursed, "Gu Ya, are you crazy!"
Li Fang also chimed in, "Damn it, Captain, I have to speak up this time. Let's just retreat. Honestly, just looking at them makes my scalp tingle! This isn't a battle on the same scale. I think I should request to go to the front lines; at least I can take a few with me when I die."
Only Liu Feng and Rui Zi remained silent.
Their hearts were pounding. If Gu Ya insisted on his so-called "destroy a hundred thousand mechs in one move" plan, they would have to execute it even knowing it was a death sentence, simply because he was the captain.
"There is a method, but it's incredibly difficult to implement. It's even bordering on the fantastical," Gu Ya murmured.
"Hey...!" Qiao Weiwei called out trembling, "Gu Ya, I'm warning you, don't even think about it! I don't want to be buried with you, you jinx!"
Gu Ya chuckled and said, "What a joke. Even if we were to implement a plan to annihilate a hundred thousand enemy mechs, we couldn't do it with just a few of us for now."
Qiao Weiwei, along with everyone else, breathed a sigh of relief.
This was the first time since Gu Ya became captain that he had made all his team members' hearts race with anxiety.
Now, they truly understood how steady Gu Ya used to be.
"So, what do we do now?" Qiao Weiwei asked.
It was indeed a difficult situation. Gu Ya had previously only fought against high-combat-power mechs, numbering no more than 15. Facing such a massive enemy formation, they felt like a tiger trying to eat the sky with no place to start.
But since they were here, it wouldn't feel right not to leave a few messes to annoy the enemy.
Gu Ya calmly said, "Windhouse 1 and 2, fly back and position yourselves between the front edge of the enemy formation and the main battlefield. Descend to an altitude of fifty thousand meters and rapidly pour down ordnance to block enemy reinforcements. Unless mechs of exceptionally high combat power intervene, all other enemy mechs are to be eliminated!"
"Yes!"
"Understood!"
"Qiao Weiwei!" Gu Ya called out coldly.
"Huh! Why are you suddenly calling my name!" Qiao Weiwei yelled angrily.
A sinister smile appeared on Gu Ya's face. "Don't you want military merit? Go give them hell!"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk~ Do I even need to say it~"
The sky of today's battlefield,
was filled with massive suspension clouds resembling clusters of grapes, stretching for thousands of kilometers across the sky, heralding a violent sea storm to come.
It might even form a colossal typhoon.
Beneath these continuous grape-like clouds lay the brutal and inhumane main battlefield.
Innumerable mechs clashed, weapons flew wildly, and mech wreckage littered the sea.
The deafening explosions and mech roars echoed heroically.
Countless heroes were born and fell.
The Black Star forces in the Endless Sea were full of confidence.
The Black Star Great General, leading the third front's main assault on the Gusty Mist defense zone, was currently seated in an enormous black flagship, savoring sweet red wine.
He licked the lingering red wine from the corner of his mouth, his gaze lewd, and he looked down at his lap where a naked, black-haired woman was kneeling and licking.
In front of them, a group of Black Star battlefield commanders were diligently working at their desks, accustomed to the scene, their expressions serious as they processed battlefield information and issued new commands.
At this moment, a tall, curvaceous female adjutant approached the Great General from behind, holding a black folder with gold trim. She looked straight ahead and softly said, "General, the Grand Commander requests you to increase frontline forces, but maintain the current advancement speed."
The Great General sneered dismissively, lifted his legs, and placed them on the shoulders of the woman below. He said comfortably and contemptuously, "Hmph, our Starfall Grand Commander is like a rat, timid and hesitant. Tsk! If we had attacked with the entire army, Xianxia would have fallen already."
The Great General used his fat foot to play with the long hair of the woman beneath him, looking at her evilly and saying playfully, "Look, the women of Xianxia only deserve to be trampled under my feet~ Hahaha..."
"Continue increasing troops... No! Heh, what future is there in following a rat..."
The Great General recalled a confidential communication he had received earlier, from someone calling themselves Lai Jing·Fa Nan.
In the communication, Lai Jing·Fa Nan's tone was humble, explicitly stating his intention to win over the Great General and have him serve him. He guaranteed that once he ascended to the position of Supreme Commander, the Great General would receive due rewards.
Compared to Mu Ye·Xing Chen, who had climbed from the bottom with no background, Lai Jing·Fa Nan's background was immense. The Lai Jing family was a renowned and prestigious clan in Black Star.
A sinister smile flickered on the Great General's lips, and he whispered, "Organize according to the super-large army offensive tactic, leave sufficient security forces to protect me, and the rest... deploy them all to the battlefield!"
The woman's eyes flickered slightly, and she said softly, "Understood!"
"Also, pour me another glass of wine~" the Great General said frivolously.
The female adjutant turned and left. Within five minutes, she returned carrying a small golden wine barrel. She respectfully bowed and poured wine into the Great General's golden wine goblet.
Just then, the woman beneath the Great General coughed slightly, her body trembled, and her head bumped the golden wine goblet.
The wine spilled all over the Great General.
"Hm?" A murderous smile appeared on the Great General's lips as he stared coldly at the woman.
The female adjutant quickly said in a low, subservient tone, "Great General, please forgive this one. I will deal with this woman immediately!" With that, she pulled the woman up and slapped her hard across the face. Immediately after, she expertly took the wine goblet and poured another glass of fine wine for her.
Just as she was about to finish pouring, a tiny white particle, barely visible without a magnifying glass, fell into the wine from the adjutant's long, slender, and beautiful fingernail.
The white particle quickly melted into the wine.
"Get me another one! As for this one, throw her to the army as a reward for the soldiers," the Great General said chillingly.
"Understood!"
The female adjutant pulled the naked woman and quickly left the command hall.
Walking through the narrow metal corridor, the female adjutant's expression was indifferent, while the naked woman wept ceaselessly.
Black Star soldiers passing by wore expressionless faces. They had seen such situations many times, and no one stopped to inquire. In their eyes, the naked woman was merely an animal persecuted and abandoned by the Great General.
The two women made their way to the hangar bay at the flagship mech's waist. The female adjutant pushed the woman into a mech cockpit.
"Don't make any noise, or both of us will die," the female adjutant said coldly.
The woman raised her tear-streaked face and looked at the female adjutant in shock.
The female adjutant gently tidied the messy hair around her ear and whispered, "You did very well. I'll handle the rest. Wait for me here."
