The Guardian Fleet was rushing over to provide support, but it was still hundreds of thousands of kilometers away from the enemy and would need some time. Long Fei's group had also taken some time to get there earlier.
They had even kept the autopilot and automatic defense systems running for a while along the way.
The Hundred Demons Night Parade fleet continued charging toward Mars at top speed.
Meanwhile, the battle between Li Xiucheng and Deyang was nearing its conclusion.
Ibaraki Doji's six throwing darts were still destroyed by Alice.
Ibaraki Doji was currently dodging EX-S's leg-mounted Reflective Wired Control Cannon Units. Although Ibaraki Doji's machine could absorb cannon fire, there was a limit to it.
If it absorbed more than four cannon shots within a minute, Ibaraki Doji would overheat, and the absorbed energy might erupt from different parts of the machine to disperse the heat.
What Deyang feared most at that moment was not being hit by EX-S's leg-mounted Reflective Wired Control Cannon Units and being forced to absorb too much cannon energy.
EX-S's true objective was actually to destroy Ibaraki Doji's Long-range Laser Cannon.
Earlier, Ibaraki Doji's Long-range Laser Cannon had already been destroyed once. In the end, he could only use the Beam Rifle at his lower back as a substitute, transferring the absorbed energy into the Beam Rifle to strike back.
When Demon Centipede sent over another Long-range Laser Cannon, the Beam Rifle was destroyed as well.
Deyang absolutely could not allow the newly acquired Long-range Laser Cannon to be destroyed, because Demon Centipede had either been destroyed or had nearly exhausted all of its modules.
If the Long-range Laser Cannon was destroyed, the absorbed cannon energy could no longer be redirected to counterattack the opponent.
