“Check with Sekata Brown and see if the enemy has this technology.” After thinking for a moment, Finn Lewis whispered more orders to Lucy Watson.
“Understood, Your Highness.
If you can’t hold out, make your escape as soon as possible,” Lucy Watson nodded.
Finn Lewis also nodded in acknowledgement, then went straight to the launch area.
The small warship was ready, a human mini transport vessel, but the forces mobilized this time were all Sanctuary warriors under Sekata Brown’s command.
Originally, Finn Lewis intended to employ a portion of the Gene Warriors.
...
However, according to Sekata Brown, humans might possess greater offensive and defensive capabilities than the Cloud Spirits in large-scale combat, but in small-scale operations, the individual elite of the Cloud Spirits proved more useful, especially with their stronger defensive abilities in such skirmishes.
The main reason was that human combat effectiveness was entirely equipment-dependent.
In situations where they couldn’t carry their gear, their offensive and defensive capabilities fell far behind those of the Cloud Spirits.
All the Sanctuary warriors amounted to a thousand in total, accompanied by two scout drones, and a spiritual power reserve device—essentially all their equipment.
As for heavy and long-range firepower, everything had already been handed over to Finn Lewis and his team.
“Everyone, prepare!” Once everyone was ready, Finn Lewis gave the order!
Twenty mechas quickly appeared on the tarmac, and the small warship was rapidly pushed out of the larger vessel.
Twenty mechas, including Finn Lewis’s, clung tightly to the outside of the warship, and as the engines at the rear of the mechas fired up, the ship began to accelerate slowly.
The planet was not too far from Finn Lewis and his team, but it wasn’t close either.
They couldn’t travel at maximum speed since they were merely pushing the warship forward.
It was very difficult to slow down the ship or change its direction; if they were too fast, they could crash into the planet’s atmosphere, which, at such high velocities, would disintegrate even the sturdiest of ships.
So, flying at their maximum capable speed, Finn Lewis and his team could arrive at their destination in two and a half hours—this also included time to defend against potential enemy attacks en route.
Without a doubt, the enemy would intercept them quickly.
Having left the protection of the larger warship, Finn Lewis’s focus sharpened intensely.
This was no joke; no one knew from where the enemy might strike, especially once they entered the asteroid zone, where the attacks could come even more suddenly.
All the way, Finn Lewis flew with great caution, while the others, being robots, naturally didn’t have to worry about their focus or attention wavering.
“Your Highness, be careful.
The enemy has detected your movement.
As our target has indicated, a large number of space torpedoes are heading your way,” Luna Starfield warned quickly.
Finn Lewis nodded. 𝑛𝘰𝑣𝑝𝑢𝑏.𝘤𝑜𝘮
His mech’s scanning system had already detected the space torpedoes.
Although called torpedoes, the term was merely traditional; these devices were faster than missiles, which could only trail in their dust, and their maneuverability for a brief period could even surpass the acceleration of warships.
Before long, a dense swarm of space torpedoes appeared in the direction that Finn Lewis and his team were moving, and the alarm system in Finn Lewis’s mech defense system was ringing incessantly.
The small warship that Finn Lewis and his team propelled had swiftly activated its protective shield, and the small ship cannons on the warship had also opened fire.
It was better than nothing—each torpedo destroyed was one less to worry about.
But for such a large, not very agile target, escaping from so many enemies was not an easy task.
