Robert Turns the Tide

Emily didn't know who was operating the Mecha, but since it was fighting against the military's Mecha, it meant they were the enemy. She raised her hand and fired two shots in quick succession, her aim undoubtedly to kill them.

Ordinary firearms are not very effective against Mecha, but bullets carrying Source Power can cause terrifying destruction even when fired from ordinary firearms.

Gu Ding was well aware of this, so he chose to dodge.

Emily was slightly surprised when she saw Gu Ding dodge her shots with incredibly strange movements. She had calculated the trajectories of the two bullets with great precision, completely sealing off the opponent's movements. No matter how the opponent moved, he should have been hit at least once. But strangely, the opponent had dodged both bullets.

Inside the Mecha, Gu Ding was also slightly troubled, because he knew very well that he was no match for Emily, even with the Mecha increasing his basic combat power hundreds of times. Given Emily's attack power, a single hit would be enough to eliminate him completely.

His original plan was to have Bade hold off Emily, but he didn't expect Emily to bring seven more companions. With Bade's strength, he was already struggling to deal with Emily alone, and with seven more people, he would probably be killed instantly.

Seeing Gu Ding suddenly in danger, Robert calmly retrieved several items from his Storage Space: seven silver-white robots, roughly the same height as humans, with joints identical to those of humans. The seven robots activated the moment they were taken out, each locking onto an opponent other than Emily and charging forward.

Robert then turned his head to look at Bade. "They'll take out the seven people around Emily. Your job is to hold Emily back. I need some time."

Bade was taken aback. He knew this robot seemed to be from Gu Ding's ship, although he had never heard of him before, probably because he wasn't a combatant. He had promised Gu Ding in front of many people to help hold off Emily, so now he had no choice but to bite the bullet and go for it.

He was also a little worried. If the seven robots released by the other side were not powerful enough and were destroyed by several generals and lieutenant generals from the military, then he would be in a very dangerous situation.

Gu Ding was struggling to dodge Emily's attacks, but luckily he managed to evade Emily bullets each time, though he narrowly escaped a few times.

When Bade appeared beside him, Gu Ding was slightly surprised. With seven generals and lieutenant generals from the military, it was understandable that Bade chose not to intervene. But Gu Ding quickly noticed that the seven silver robots were each entangled with an opponent, and he immediately realized that this must be Robert's doing.

"Robert has made extensive preparations for this battle. He created twenty-four of these robots. Each one possesses Combat Strength comparable to Eighth Order Gene Body, and with the addition of the first eight levels of the Limitless Body Technique program, dealing with these lieutenant generals and generals from the military shouldn't be a problem," Sea Emperor explained.

Seeing that the situation on his side had improved, Gu Ding chased after the Mecha in the crowd. After Emily's attack, she ordered the Mecha to spread out and hunt down the Interstellar Pirate. She had also realized that Gu Ding's Combat Strength in his Mecha was beyond the reach of his own Mecha.

Looking at Bade who was blocking her way, Emily said with some disdain, "You've got some nerve."

She had watched the video of Bade's fight with Sharp, and she knew very well that Bade's strength was actually not that great. He won that fight partly because of his pre-planned strategy and partly because of a bit of luck.

"Do you know how we in the pirate world view high-ranking female military officers like you?" Bade's opening remark sounded a bit like a flirtation.

"It's definitely not going to be anything nice," Emily thought, not wanting to waste any more words, and immediately opened fire.

Bade reached out and grasped the chain at his waist. With a slight twitch of his fingers, the chain instantly turned black, spiraling out and ensnaring the bullet Emily had fired. He said leisurely, "They say the women in the military are very passionate in bed. I think that may sound a bit crude, but it's actually a compliment."

Emily glanced at Bade. Normally, she would have been happy to discuss this kind of topic, but in this situation, she didn't have time to waste words, especially since the other party was an Interstellar Pirate. Noticing that her bullets were entangled in the other party's chains, she frowned slightly and fired several shots in quick succession, one after another, giving the other party no chance to breathe.

Twelve bullets, each carrying a terrifying Spiral Qi Strength, created sonic booms in the air. The bullets even caught fire, shooting towards Bade like meteors with flames.

Upon seeing this, Bade's expression changed, and he quickly swung the chain in his hand, unleashing the power of the semi-divine artifact once again. The black chain wrapped around the twelve bullets once more.

The twelve bullets were completely different from the first one; they came with tremendous force and quickly reached Bade. Bade frowned and quickly dodged. The twelve bullets exploded almost simultaneously, creating a terrifying shockwave.

Bade, despite being forced back, was still affected by the energy shockwave and coughed up blood. He could understand why his opponent had attacked so aggressively from the start; having witnessed his fight with Sharp, this woman was noticeably more cautious when facing him. Bade also knew that under these circumstances, his task of restraining her might not be possible.

After firing twelve shots in succession, Emily changed magazines. Each magazine of her gun contained twenty bullets, and she had already used seven before engaging Bade.

Seeing that Bade was affected by the energy shock, she pursued him again, firing ten shots in quick succession without pause. This time, however, she aimed for Bade's head, intending to kill him.

Although the semi-divine artifact in Bade's hands was powerful, his mental strength was limited, and the speed at which the condensed black chains absorbed energy was also limited. While it could hinder the opponent's attacks to some extent, it could not fundamentally solve the problem or eliminate the opponent's attacks.

He dodged frantically, but Emily's attacks clung to him like a leech, relentlessly pursuing him.

Just as several bullets left Bade with no way to dodge, Bade closed his eyes, preparing to accept death. After a while, he felt no pain in his body, which surprised him slightly as he opened his eyes. He then saw that Emily's gaze was no longer on him, but on another spot.

He turned his head and looked over, only to see that a metal building nearly two meters high had appeared where Robert had just been standing. Several cannons were protruding from the building, one of which was pointing at his location.

Before Bade could react, the other cannons also pointed at her, then moved up slightly to lock onto Emily's position. A barrage of fire poured out like a torrential downpour, completely engulfing Emily, the gunner.

Bade was utterly stunned by what he saw.

Meanwhile, events unfolding on another battlefield not far from him quickly caught his attention. In a direct confrontation, the silver robots had taken down three Military Department General and four lieutenant generals in less than ten minutes. The seven robots immediately shifted their target, chasing after the Mecha.

Having already dealt with five Mecha, Gu Ding looked up and caught sight of a metal building not far away. "What's that? Did Robert make it?"

"That thing is called War Fortress, but this one is only a beginner level. It's not very powerful. It can only temporarily suppress the opponent by the density of the artillery fire. It can only do very limited damage to a Tenth-Order Gene Body like Emily." The Sea Emperor's voice came to Gu Ding's ears. "The combat robots have arrived to help. You should cooperate with them as soon as possible to see how many Mecha you can take down. Lily's mental energy is almost at its limit. We must retreat as soon as possible."

With a single punch, Gu Ding shattered the circuit board on the chest of a Mecha. He then said to Sea Emperor, "Tell them to collect their spoils and prepare to retreat. If they ask why, tell them that Bigge's side can't hold out any longer, Sharp will be here soon."

After Sea Emperor's message was sent, the Interstellar Pirate began to retreat slowly, none willing to provoke the military's ultimate Combat Strength. Emily alone was already unmatched; adding Sharp would be a nightmare. Most importantly, the primary objective of this Night Raid had been achieved: rescuing all those imprisoned. Not only that, but a large number of military personnel were also eliminated; it was undoubtedly a victory.

The team that played the most crucial role in this battle was the Gu Ding Team.

What we've unlocked for everyone is Sea Emperor. Of course, everyone thought it was Gu Ding.

What held Military Department General Sharp back was Bigge from Gu Ding Team.

The only ones directly confronting the Mecha are Gu Ding and the robots created by Gu Ding Team members.

Even some threatening Military Department General and lieutenant generals were killed by the robots of the Gu Ding Team.

Although Bade was the one who held Emily back, he didn't complete his mission. In the end, it was Gu Ding's people who helped suppress Emily.

After receiving the order to retreat, Liliath controlled Bigge to break free from the battle, Bigge carried Liliath as they fled.

Bigge's sudden retreat startled Sharp, who immediately gave chase.

By the time Bigge arrived at the port, most of the other Interstellar Pirate had already left.

Seeing that Gu Ding and his group had gathered together, Sharp chased after them, trying to stop them, but he was unexpectedly attacked by a barrage of gunfire, and his vision was completely blocked.

Minutes later, when the gunfire stopped, Sharp discovered that the Interstellar Pirate had all vanished.

Emily, whose clothes were completely torn apart from being attacked by the war fortress, cursed angrily, "Damn Interstellar Pirate!"

Sharp looked at the corpses scattered on the ground, and after a moment of silence, said, "Let's request support from His Majesty the King!" (To be continued.)
