Marvelous Mecha

Chapter 530 First Battle_1


At this moment, Feng Yi was in a restless state over the issue of space pirates. To fight or not to fight? Attack or hold back? It seemed like an endless loop.

If it were just him, he would have gone in guns blazing. However, with thousands of lives on board the Zeus Shield, he couldn't ignore their safety.

He ran computer simulations of possible battle losses over and over, sighing and shaking his head each time...

According to the simulations, victory was likely, but not without a cost. That's just how Feng Yi was- he didn't want to lose any soldier. When pushed into a corner, he could come up with unexpectedly ingenious ideas – like taking over Zeus Shield when there was no way out.

However, Feng Yi was not keen on risking everyone's lives without a guarantee of safety, so he didn't share his idea of hijacking space pirates with anyone. It was only when Vivian entered the room, that he was brought back to reality, feeling as if he had been drained of all his energy.

Looking at the exhausted Feng Yi, Vivian let out a dismissive tut, "Just look at yourself, you're a mess."

Feng Yi didn't have time to argue with her and turned away minding his business.

Vivian was stunned at being ignored. No one had ever treated her like this before. Her wounded pride ignited a blinding rage within her, she stomped towards Feng Yi, reaching out to switch off the light screen.

The screen went dark instantly.

Feng Yi looked at Vivian with uncomprehending eyes, asking in disbelief "What are you doing?"

"I...I..." Vivian was momentarily at a loss for words. It seemed that Feng Yi wasn't intentionally ignoring her; he was just too exhausted to notice her. "I was asking you a question, why didn't you answer me? Weren't we supposed to return to the Federation?"

Feng Yi nodded, "I would like to return too."

"Then why aren't we moving?"

"Lipton and Big Macs are taken over by Bergheide. There's no way to leave."

"Then take a detour."

"And go where? There are only a few routes through Bermuda."

Feng Yi explained to Vivian about the recent discovery of the space pirates in the pseudo change area. Now, neither moving nor staying was safe. This place would be the safest place to stay. Once they leave, they could expose themselves to the aim of Bergheide. If they choose to move forward through a detour, they might just run into the space pirates. He wasn't clear about what would happen if they run into the space pirates. Not to mention, if they start a battle, it is possible that they might alert the Bergheide, because they don't know whether or not the nearby areas have the Bergheide Space Fleet. Moreover, if word got out that Saudi's Zeus Shield was stolen, there might be an ambush at the edge of Bermuda.

Vivian found it amusing to witness Feng Yi's sulk. "Ennh!" she burst out laughing.

Vivian knew that Feng Yi was not a fool, it's just that he was overly concerned about the safety of thousands of people and has very little experience in space warfare that he ended up in such a dilemma. She said, "You are a fool. Let's not talk about the threat of an ambush for now. Why do you think this battleship cannot defeat the space pirates?"

Then Feng Yi shared his thoughts. Didn't Saudi send 300 escorts to chase the Zeus Shield? It seems that 300 escorts should be enough to take down a Zeus Shield.

Vivian gave him a look. Those 300 escorts were just the pioneers sent to restrict their actions. Bruce had more people prepared in the Oort Cloud than Koiber. Do you know why? Because he feared the Zeus Shield much more than Saudi's pursuit. Large battleships cannot accelerate in a short time. As for the super soldiers, they do not have long-range endurance, so Saudi could only send these pioneers to restrict them as much as possible.

Feng Yi felt enlightened by what she said. Does this mean that the Zeus Shield has an absolute chance of winning against the space pirates? He asked, "What would be our estimated battle loss?"

"Zero battle loss."

"What did you say, zero battle loss?"

"With proper command, it's indeed possible. With those four destroyers alone, we can easily win. You should realize that the firepower of a destroyer is on par with that of Zeus Shield." Vivian shook her head. The space pirates were not a serious threat, unless they're at Bruce's level. She still cannot imagine how she was caught by this salted fish.

"Awesome Vivian.." Finally, Feng Yi seemed to have regained his courage, and he decided to prepare for an attack.

As for the tactics, Feng Yi had already run countless simulations on the computer. He tried every tactic he could think of, including flanking, frontal assault, feigning one direction and attacking another, fan-shaped blockade, pentagonal attack, continuous suppression, encirclement and attack, and all kinds of strange tactics you can imagine.

Looking at him, Vivian couldn't help gasping in surprise. She didn't think that someone who had mastered so many tactics would be a novice at command. However, Feng Yi really didn't know much about Galactic Warfare. She asked, "Did you come up with all these things in your head?"

"Yes."

"Are you sure you're not familiar with Star Wars?"

"Yes." Feng Yi answered blandly.

Vivian stared at him in disbelief. She really didn't know what to make of this guy. Calling him a novice was an understatement, but he managed to come up with a myriad of attack methods within two days. It was staggering. Not to mention, his carefully thought-out schemes were terrifyingly precise, almost expert-like, even though they weren't perfect. He was a complete rookie, inexperienced in Galactic Warfare, she really didn't know what to make of him. Was he a genius or a freak?

The preparation for the attack lasted a total of two hours. After two hours, the Blaze Legion made a full-fledged move towards the VK4402 coordinates, with the ion thrusters lighting up the deep space. The fake change jump point lit up as well.

This was the same moment when the two space pirate fleets disappeared. Vivian speculated that there should be a natural wormhole here, and the space pirates appeared time and time again, probably intending to hijack passing trade fleets.

Unfortunately, the Bermuda Galaxy had been completely ignited by the flames of war. The probability of any trade groups or civilian shuttles passing nearby could be basically ignored. So the space pirates would be disappointed. What awaited them was the military threat of the Federation's regular army.

The soldiers aboard the Meteor, who were ready for battle, could enter the execution state at any time. This battle would be the Blaze Legion's first interstellar battle. Breathing in the heavy atmosphere, everyone was on high alert...

As the space trembled around the fake change jump point, the silent universe seemed to wobble. It was a wormhole energy well. Noah captured a huge energy reaction collision at the VK4402 coordinates.
