Mecha: Return of the Pioneers

Chapter 895: The secret chess piece of the former emperor Ax!

The ice layer collapsed, and countless gases gushed out from the cracks, causing sparks.

Looking at the sparks that continued to spurt out along the cracked ice, it proved that Sergei's speculation was correct.

Mu Lian, or the Empire, hid part of its fleet and troops in the space beneath the ice, preparing to rush out and deal a fatal blow to the Fei Ling Fleet when the Fei Ling Fleet was engaged in an orbital battle with their own fleet.

But now, this so-called fatal blow has become a raging fire blocked under the ice and a death hell that constantly sets off explosions and tries to tear the ice apart.

"Judging from this scale, I'm afraid the fleet size we estimated is a little bit safe."

Lisa Kujo glanced at the data collected by the sensors and radars on the MACROSS Musashi, her expression a little solemn.

"It seems that the control of the Axs Empire over the border planets has exceeded our expectations. I'm afraid that the rebels occupying the sixth planet never thought that there was a huge space fleet hidden inside this ice giant next to the sixth planet."

Sergei nodded slightly, thought for a moment, and then expressed his thoughts.

"From what Princess Tina and Prince Portia said, the former Emperor Axe seemed to be a man with great ambitions and vision beyond ordinary people. I'm afraid that this fleet hidden under the ice of the seventh planet was a hidden chess piece arranged by the former Emperor Axe during his lifetime."

Sergey continued to make assumptions along this line of thought.

"Perhaps, if the former emperor is not dead and Ax's space jump technology is successfully developed, this fleet hidden on the seventh planet will become the main force for the Ax Empire to expand new territories."

Sergei paused and sighed.

"Unfortunately, the Axs Empire has not successfully developed space jump technology. Then, this fleet hidden on the seventh planet will become the key force to control the "throat" of entering the Axs system."

"He was indeed a very courageous emperor. What a pity! The chess pieces he laid out during his lifetime never played even a tiny bit of a role."

Lisa Kujo shook her head.

With Sergei's preemptive move, no matter how many secrets there are under the ice layer of the seventh planet, they will only be swallowed up by the raging flames under the ice layer.

"No, there is more to this trick."

Kujo Lisa's eyes suddenly changed, and she immediately pulled up a set of data.

That was the astronomical data about the Axes galaxy shared by the Nadeshiko, as well as intelligence data compiled from the intelligence secretly collected by the Sea Mist Fleet during this period.

"No! The Seventh Planet has a total of 15 satellites. But before Genesis was launched, our radar only captured 14 satellites. One of the satellites, called Golden Eagle Eye, did not appear in the visual range of our fleet. Musashi! Emergency defense!"

As soon as Kujo Lisa finished speaking, Musashi suddenly shouted coldly.

"All warships of Sea Mist, Klein array! Activate!"

"Buzz!"

"Buzz!"

"Buzz!"

In an instant, the Klein array, with MACROSS Musashi as the center and the sea fog battleships as the fulcrum, was instantly activated.

Octagonal shields emitting pale golden light continued to emerge and connected with each other at a very fast speed, covering the Feiling Fleet and Genesis, which had advanced a distance. The moment the last pale golden octagonal shield emerged, a deadly light burst from the shadow area of ​​the seventh planet without any warning and directly bombarded the Klein joint force field jointly deployed by Musashi and his sea fog warships.

"It actually instantly reduced the output of our Klein force field by 35%?! Is this a satellite cannon of this magnitude!?"

As soon as Musashi opened his eyes, the many sensors on the MACROSS Musashi pushed their power to the maximum and directly locked onto the space where the light of death was erupting.

Under the horrible light of death, the "assassin" hidden in the shadow area of ​​the seventh planet quietly emerged and slowly appeared in the sunlight area.

"Golden Eagle Eye. Is it really that? Its true form is not the satellite of the seventh planet, but an artificial satellite fortress."

This deadly light came swiftly, but it only reduced the output of the Klein Array by 35%, and was no longer able to break through the Klein Array force field jointly deployed by Musashi and his Sea Fog battleships.

However, this surprise was enough to make Sergei and Kujo Lisa feel the foresight of the former emperor.

"As expected of a great man who can unify an entire galaxy! If we didn't have the Musashi and the Sea Mist battleship, we would probably have been beaten hard by the hidden chess pieces left by His Majesty the Emperor."

Kujo Lisa shook her head and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"But in this case, the enemy will have no choice but to fight a positional war with us. Unless they are willing to leave the Golden Eagle Eye to us and flee the Seventh Planet at full speed."

"If the emperor were still alive, he might have taken drastic measures. However, the current generals of the empire may not be able to make such a decision."

Sergei's eyes were deep, as if he had foreseen some events.

"General Pero. Why didn't you tell us in advance that the Empire had hidden such a satellite fortress on the Seventh Planet?"

The appearance of the Golden Eagle Eye not only shocked the Feiling Fleet, but also made the Mulian Fleet, its ally, feel something was wrong.

"I'm very sorry! We didn't mean to hide the existence of the Golden Eagle Eye. It's just that when the enemy fleet was bombarding the ice layer of the seventh planet, our fleet suddenly received the identification signal from the Golden Eagle Eye, and followed the instructions to guide the Golden Eagle Eye to complete the attack on the enemy fleet."

The imperial general who appeared on the communication screen smiled apologetically.

"There is such a thing? There is such a huge satellite fortress, and your Imperial Fleet is totally unaware of it?!"

Seeing the appearance of the Golden Eagle Eye, Yuechen Genichirō breathed a sigh of relief, but he still felt a lump in his heart.

If the Golden Eagle Eye had appeared earlier, his fleet ambushed under the big rift on the seventh planet would not have been completely destroyed.

"Fei, I'm so sorry! Actually, we don't quite understand. It seems that because the seventh planet was directly bombarded by the enemy fleet, a mechanism hidden under the ice was activated, allowing us to contact the Golden Eagle Eye."

After apologizing profusely, the imperial general immediately spoke seriously.

"Now, we have taken ownership of the Golden Eagle Eye! Please leave the next attack to us! Commander Motoichiro Tsukio!"

"Whatever! Please!"

After looking at the satellite fortress that was slowly flying into the central area of ​​the fleet for a while, Tsukuomi Genichirō no longer insisted on the dispute over who would take the main attack position in the next battle.
