Chapter 357: Rescue

The Wind Elemental Machine God transformed into a bird, like a shooting star, heading straight for the *Quaili* with the momentum of a piercing strike.

In the blink of an eye, a thick black energy column surged over, blocking the path of Sebastian's advance.

"What?"

Masaki, who was controlling the Cybaster, pulled the control stick slightly based on subconscious reaction, avoiding a head-on collision with the energy column.

As a result, the Wind Elemental Machine God, while using the Akashic Buster, deviated from its route and failed to pierce the *Quaili*'s armor core area as expected, instead piercing the two detachable wire-guided beam cannons on the left side of the *Quaili*.

But because the two beam cannons were not in a detached state at this time, the explosion still affected the main body of the *Quaili*, causing the stern engine to explode, making it impossible to control navigation.

On the bridge of the *Quaili*, amidst violent shaking, damage control personnel were still loudly reporting the damage to the hull, while the sensor operator reported the model of the newly detected ship silhouette.

"Peregrine-class, identification model, *Brunhilde*, and the AM unit belonging to the Loyal Guard!"

"It's Liumei, this girl didn't treat her in vain." Lieutenant Colonel Lily, who was originally a bit embarrassed because of the rapidly deteriorating battle situation, almost cried with joy.

When the fleet's morale is low and the formation is chaotic, having half of the Loyal Guard's support still has a certain effect.

But Maier slapped the armrest hard and scolded: "Nonsense!"

He saw clearly that the defeat of this battle was set, and the support of the *Brunhilde* was just a drop in the bucket, instead adding casualties and affecting the number of troops Elzam could use in the next step of the plan.

Moreover, how could he bear to let Wang Liumei, this good daughter, fall in this battle.

"Contact the *Brunhilde* and tell them to retreat immediately," Maier shouted.

The communications soldier connected to the bridge of the *Brunhilde*, and Wang Liumei spoke first: "The Loyal Guard has come to carry out its mission."

She looked directly at Maier, without a trace of retreat in her eyes.

After Maier was silent for a long time, he sighed and said: "You have grown up... Liumei."

It was considered a tacit approval of Wang Liumei's act of disobeying orders.

And on the battlefield, the arrival of the *Brunhilde* also brought unpredictable effects to the original battle situation.

Li Boyong had just piloted the Huckebein and used the Gravity Cannon at the limit distance to give the Cybaster a shot, avoiding the *Quaili* from being hit directly by the Akashic Buster.

"Visually confirm the *Quaili* has lost its navigation capability, execute Plan No. 3."

Saying this, Li Boyong piloted the newly white-painted Huckebein, cast aside the Gravity Cannon component, picked up the beam rifle, and headed for the *Hiryu Kai*.

The so-called Plan No. 3 is that in the case of the *Quaili* losing navigation capability, Leona leads the Loyal Guard to intercept the PT unit attacking the *Quaili*, Wang Liumei is responsible for persuading Maier to retreat, and the Xia sisters will pilot their mechas into the *Quaili* to save people.

Leona's Loyal Guard entered the battlefield and exchanged fire with the PT unit led by Ingram.

Shihe's Gallion intercepted the green Gespenst. Li Boyong had explained that the pilot of this mecha was a member of the Instructor Team and needed Shihe's strength to deal with it.

"Instructor Team level?"

After a few rounds of fighting, Kai Kitamura, who was piloting the green Gespenst, felt that the feel was wrong. How could there be one person after another with Instructor Team level in the Allied forces?

And Leona found the yellow Wildraubtier. She opened the communication for the first time: "Do you really intend to attack your own father? Radis!"

"Leona? I don't have time to entangle with you now!"

Radis, piloting the Wildraubtier, dealt with Leona's attacks but did not fight back.

And the other members of the Loyal Guard all had their own opponents.

For a time, the battle surrounding the *Quaili* entered a white-hot stage.

And Li Boyong's task was to pilot the Huckebein to 'hijack' the damaged *Hiryu Kai*!

BGM system, activate!

Selected track: VESTIGE

The white Huckebein began to engage the PT unit guarding the *Hiryu Kai*.

"This model, changed the paint?"

Bullet, who had been defeated by Li Boyong, hurriedly reminded loudly, "This guy is very difficult to deal with!"

"Excellen, can you go back?"

Kyosuke, who was fighting with Sanger, wanted to let Excellen return to defend the *Hiryu Kai* at the first time.

But at this time, the Weissritter was entangled by Yulia's Gallion and couldn't get away for the time being, "Sorry, a bit busy now!"

Without the gambling couple's containment, the white Huckebein was like entering an uninhabited land in the face of the *Hiryu Kai*'s PT unit.

Spirit Command: Focus!

Katina piloted the mass-produced Gespenst and wanted to come up for melee combat under the cover of her companion Russell's firepower. Li Boyong passed by and cut off the right arm of the Gespenst.

Then it was Russell. One shot to the head with the photon rifle, one shot to the right hip, and Russell's mecha went silent.

"Damn it, T-LINK Ripper!"

Bullet, piloting the Gespenst TT, rushed up to support his companion. The back of the mecha launched two rotating rippers controlled by the T-LINK system, flying at high speed and capable of changing direction in real-time.

Precognition!

Electric shock in the brow!

The white Huckebein turned around and shot down the sneak-attacking rippers one by one with one shot each, and then dodged the shelling of Radah's Wildraubtier with an acceleration maneuver.

The *Hiryu Kai*'s anti-aircraft missiles followed one after another. The white Huckebein continued to maneuver, using the head vulcan cannons to sweep and destroy them one by one.

Dodging the chaotic firepower with an elegant trajectory, the white Huckebein continued to approach the *Hiryu Kai*.

On the bridge of the *Hiryu Kai*, the communicator Yin's voice was a bit panicked: "Enemy mecha Huckebein, approaching at high speed!"

"Anti-aircraft vulcan cannons, shoot it down." Captain Lefina was still pretending to be calm, but sweat had already soaked her underwear.

Since the battle began, the *Hiryu Kai*'s anti-aircraft firepower network could not be considered perfect.

Li Boyong had a lot of experience in dealing with such semi-crippled warships. He piloted the white Huckebein up and down, found an opportunity to shoot and explode two more anti-aircraft guns, and then turned around and pulled out a beam saber to cut off the legs of the Gespenst TT that came up to sneak attack.

At the same time, he kicked the body of the Gespenst TT to complete a change-of-direction acceleration, drilled into the gap of the anti-aircraft firepower network he created, and reached the bridge of the *Hiryu Kai* directly.

The white Huckebein raised its photon rifle and aimed it at the bridge of the *Hiryu Kai*. Li Boyong could even see the beautiful captain in the captain's seat through the fire control system.

"Notice to the Federation Army, stop the attack on the *Quaili* immediately, stop the attack on the *Quaili* immediately, otherwise I cannot guarantee the safety of the *Hiryu Kai*."

"Repeat, stop the attack on the *Quaili*, otherwise I will sink the *Hiryu Kai*."

Li Boyong's calm voice drifted in the public channel of this space, but the message contained in it shocked the Federation Army, which thought it had the victory in hand.

Subsequently, the image of the white Huckebein pointing its photon rifle at the bridge of the *Hiryu Kai* appeared on everyone's optical display.

On the bridge of the *Hagane*, Tetsuya Onodera swallowed hard, confirmed the authenticity of the optical image, and said to Captain Daitetsu: "Confirm the image, it is the *Hiryu Kai* and the Huckebein." ===== CHAPTER 358 =====
