Bai Ying quickly boarded the new Taoxi mecha, sat obediently beside Taona, and tightly gripped a communication cable.
Taona remained silent and emotionless, rapidly piloting the mecha into the sky.
Gu Ya and Ye Ying also donned their brand-new mechas, covering Taona as she ascended.
All combat mechas that rushed from the rear of the Jin Quan nation flew in formation around Taoxi.
They advanced toward the battlefield in a grand procession.
Taona, sitting in the cockpit, turned her head to look down behind her.
The battered Lv Jue mecha stood alone in the center of the hangar.
It was like a solitary sentinel, gazing at the departing figure of its beloved.
"Li Fang..."
Two streams of hot tears silently flowed from Taona's eyes.
Bai Ying gently patted Taona's back and whispered, "You're crying... you're finally crying..."
"Human psychology states that crying is one of the useful methods for emotional release."
"Transforming grief into strength."
"Thank you!" Taona wiped away her tears, her gaze regaining its calm sharpness as she looked ahead.
The Black Star Empire's army had completely turned the battlefield into their own stage.
A mere few thousand enemy mechas were pressing the Jin Quan army, and the Jin Quan reinforcements arriving continuously were helpless against this collapsing situation.
Defeat was like a mountain collapsing; to turn the tide, a victory in a localized battle was necessary!
Just as all Jin Quan forces were at a loss,
Gu Ya led the new support contingent in a fierce charge!
The Jin Quan Aotian's Tun Tian Jin Jia swiftly moved forward, radiating golden light as it plunged into the enemy formation.
Threads of golden light penetrated the enemy mecha armor, suddenly straightening.
All enemy mechas touched by the golden light thrashed like grasshoppers on a string and quickly ceased to move.
The Feng Wu mecha swiftly flew up, raising its arms as its armor opened.
The beam cannon tubes inside fired beams, striking enemy mechas.
The sky erupted in a fiery crimson glow!
In less than five minutes, dozens of enemy mechas were destroyed.
With the Tun Tian Jin Jia and Feng Wu mecha gaining a small-scale combat advantage, all Jin Quan forces seemed to have found their backbone, their fighting spirit instantly reignited as they counterattacked with full force.
Taona's voice came through the comms: "Gu Ya, I'm under your command!"
"No rush..." Gu Ya calmly replied, "We must find a suitable target."
With thousands of mechas engaged in a chaotic mêlée ahead, finding suitable enemy targets was no easy task.
As Gu Ya concentrated on searching,
A series of explosions suddenly erupted on the right flank of the battlefield.
A Black Star ultra-high combat mecha moved as if through an empty realm, destroying ten Jin Quan mechas single-handedly and blasting out of the explosion zone, flying towards Gu Ya.
Ye Ying decisively piloted her mecha forward to meet the threat.
Drawing her hands back, a sharp beam sword instantly carved a diagonal cross of light.
"Bang!" The two mechas collided fiercely.
The enemy mecha reversed its grip on its short swords, transforming into a storm of blades, spinning ferociously towards Ye Ying.
Ye Ying rapidly ascended, swinging her dual blades, and sliced down from the enemy mecha's head!
Due to its own rotational force, the enemy mecha's head and shoulder armor were torn open by Ye Ying's dual blades.
Ye Ying quickly swooped down to deliver two finishing blows, completely finishing off the enemy.
After a brief respite, two more enemy mechas charged towards them.
Gu Ya decisively shouted, "Target acquired, move!"
Gu Ya and Ye Ying attacked simultaneously from both the left and right flanks!
Instead of thrusting with their swords, they flanked the enemy from blind spots, extending their hands and simultaneously gripping the enemy mechas' weapon-wielding arms.
Taoxi charged from behind, and the two armor plates on her waist ejected.
Two armor-piercing rounds burst forth, striking the enemy mechas squarely.
Bai Ying swiftly inserted the communication cable into the port behind her head.
An instant later, Bai Ying successfully infiltrated the enemy mechas' internal systems via the communication cable.
Soon, the back thrusters of both enemy mechas weakened, and they switched to hovering, flying steadily in the air.
"Success!!" Gu Ya exclaimed with bated breath and surprise.
He had initially worried about the inability to infiltrate the enemy mechas!
But the results far exceeded his expectations.
"How does it feel, Bai Ying?" Gu Ya asked.
Bai Ying closed her eyes, her mind rapidly processing code as she gained complete control over the mecha's systems.
Her tone was calm as she softly replied, "No problem at all."
"Excellent! Proceed as planned!"
As Gu Ya's words fell,
Bai Ying immediately activated the environmental simulation system within the enemy mecha's cockpit, siphoning off the oxygen!
The two Black Star pilots, caught completely unaware, suffocated painfully to death.
The cockpit doors opened, and Gu Ya and Ye Ying decisively abandoned their Jin Quan mechas, jumping into the two Black Star mechas respectively.
After seizing the Black Star ultra-high combat mechas, Gu Ya shouted, "Taona, let's go!"
"Roger!"
The Taoxi mecha instantly activated its thrusters and dived towards the ground.
Gu Ya and Ye Ying rapidly ascended, escorting the Taoxi mecha towards the rear of the enemy formation.
With the detailed tactical arrangements, the Jin Quan nation's mechas paid them no mind.
And the Black Star army, seeing two ultra-high combat mechas escorting a pink mecha, didn't think much of it.
The three mechas brazenly charged into the enemy rear!
The enemy mechas in the rear hadn't even understood what was happening when the ultra-high combat mechas, in their eyes, plunged their blades into the flanks of friendly mechas.
Gu Ya and Ye Ying quickly retreated to find their next victims.
Taoxi swiftly ascended, firing beam cables from her body into the wounds of the enemy mechas.
Bai Ying rapidly seized control of the enemy mecha systems.
The four individuals cooperated with remarkable synchronicity, one glance was enough to understand how the next step would be executed.
Gu Ya and Ye Ying's speed was astonishing, and with the disguise of the Black Star ultra-high combat mechas, they quickly disabled twenty-seven enemy mechas!
Taona's gaze was sharp, her movements swift, constantly rotating her body and firing cables.
Bai Ying, now holding the seventh cable, prepared to insert it into her left shoulder.
As this small airspace became chaotic, the Black Star forces finally noticed their side.
The Black Star commander's avatar appeared simultaneously on Gu Ya's and Ye Ying's displays.
"What are you doing? Why are you attacking your own comrades!" the Black Star commander roared in anger.
"Comrades?" Gu Ya said mockingly, "Open your eyes and look carefully! They are not comrades!!!"
As his words fell, the more than twenty enemy mechas controlled by Bai Ying all turned their bodies, raised their weapons and massive cannons, and aimed them at the surrounding enemy mechas!
"Bang! Boom! Boom!"
A barrage of fire directly engulfed the sky in black smoke.
The sudden turn of events caught the surrounding Black Star mechas completely off guard.
The battlefield was already chaotic, with information flooding in, making it easy to be deceived.
The enemy mechas that were attacked also brandished their weapons and aimed at their nearby mechas, engaging in indiscriminate attacks!
For a time, the rear of the Black Star enemy formation descended into utter chaos!
Gu Ya switched the comms to public frequency and continued to fan the flames:
"Be wary of the people around you! I just received intelligence that many of them have been turned by Xian Xia!!"
"Think about the recent rumors! Many high-ranking positions in our country have been infiltrated by Xian Xia agents!"
"Xian Xia has not officially declared war, but they are secretly cultivating proxies to fight the Black Star war! This is to deplete Black Star's forces!"
As the deceptive rhetoric was unleashed, the surrounding Black Star mecha pilots intensified their attacks on each other.
Some of the Black Star mechas that arrived later and were unaware of the situation were also drawn into the fratricide.
The intensity of the carnage escalated rapidly.
The Black Star commander roared furiously, "Sowing discord with deceptive words!! I will kill you!!!"
Immediately, he began to rapidly control his mecha.
Gu Ya's mecha suddenly veered sharply downwards, charging towards a magnificent-looking mecha below.
"Heh heh, found you."
Gu Ya's cold laugh was like a sharp dagger piercing the enemy's brain!
A flash of cold light, and a massive, wide crack instantly appeared on the command mecha's body.
An armor-piercing round followed, penetrating the enemy mecha's interior.
Bai Ying instantly seized control of the mecha's systems, killing the enemy commander and opening the cockpit armor.
Gu Ya once again abandoned his mecha and burrowed into the enemy machine.
Putting on his helmet, he brought the communicator to his lips, placing one foot on the pilot's seat, and said with a cold laugh:
"My brave and fearless warriors! Do not be deceived by the enemy's wicked schemes!"
"You are the most loyal soldiers of the Black Star!"
"And they are mere puppets controlled by Xian Xia!"
"Now, by the authority of the Grand Commander, I order you! Turn your guns upon the mechas of other regiments!"
"Fire—!!!"
The situation was already chaotic, and with Gu Ya's fervent instigation and his status as the commander of the command mecha,
Some of the highly agitated Black Star mecha pilots ultimately went berserk,
Further intensifying the already fervent killing spirit into paranoia and savagery.
What might have been a controllable situation devolved into utter uncontrollability after Gu Ya's maneuvers.
In the rear of the enemy formation, more and more Black Star mechas began to attack their surrounding comrades.
It was impossible to distinguish whose beam cannons and missiles were being fired in the entire airspace; all mechas that could be seen were considered enemies!
Gu Ya then jumped onto Ye Ying's mecha.
Together with Taoxi, they dived low, hugging the ground, and flew towards the rear of the Jin Quan nation.
Taona looked up at the widening chaos in the sky and let out a wry, bitter smile, "This is your plan."
Gu Ya said with emotion, "Originally, I intended to control the Black Star enemy mechas for a counterattack through Bai Ying."
"Plans are subject to change. Compared to direct participation in battle, wouldn't a little trickery, a bloodless victory, be more appealing?"
"The Black Star army is already in disarray. The Jin Quan nation is destined to win this war."
