Chapter 1573: A Narrow Encounter (second update—monthly ticket Request)
As Qin Wanglan watched the space pirate Starry Sky Fighters enter his encirclement, he immediately issued an order. "We're outnumbered, so we need to change tactics."
"Seven of us will each hold back three Starry Sky Fighters."
"I'll be the eighth. I'll attack two Starry Sky Fighters first."
"Once I take out those two Starry Sky Fighters, I'll come help you."
"Remember, your job now is to hold them back, not attack directly. If you want to attack, wait for my order."
This meant the other seven only needed to defend and confuse the enemy.

Before making his move, Qin Wanglan communicated with his people again. "The space pirates' Starry Sky Fighters aren't moving because they probably haven't noticed us."
"Once I make a move and you begin holding them back, they'll know."
"At that point, they'll definitely counterattack. Everyone, pay close attention to defense and keep yourselves alive!"
With that, he activated his plasma rocket and sent it streaking toward the best-maintained-looking Starry Sky Fighter.

In terms of numbers, they were outnumbered.
But Qin Wanglan knew that the Second Generation Mecha they wore were who knew how many generations more advanced
