NOVEL NEXT Chapter 917: This Is Only One-Tenth
"Earth's First Mobile Unit, deploy en masse!"
The bridges of twenty thousand battleships popped open, one after another, silver-gray figures flew out from those ships.
Zhang Menglong didn't just buy the fleet of 100 Interstellar Wanderer ships. You should know, these battleships are massive in size, and often their combat flexibility is far inferior to some smaller combat units.
But these Mobile Warriors boast both excellent mobility and strong combat capabilities, so they are very favored by advanced civilizations. Furthermore, in terms of technical level, it takes at least a Level Two civilization to produce Mobile Warriors with practical combat abilities.
According to the configuration of the Interstellar Wanderer, each battleship can carry 18 Mobile Warriors along with the corresponding maintenance equipment, so Zhang Menglong additionally ordered a batch, fully arming all the battleships to the teeth.
This batch of Mobile Warriors is called "Seraphim", the pinnacle representation of a Level Five civilization, Zhang Menglong's fleet directly emptied all their inventory, even had to buy back some already-sold orders at a high price to gather the required quantity.
And the one Zhang Menglong pilots, he even modified it at the Super God Academy, enhancing its combat power, mobility, and defense capabilities by over 50% compared to the "Seraphim".
The overwhelming "Seraphim" flew out of the combat array like locusts, nearly 400,000 Seraphim, completely enveloping 2,000 ships with this massive formation.
A month ago, Zhang Menglong picked out a large batch of elite troops for training, devising various new soldier types based on their individual abilities, with students from the Super God Academy personally leading the squad for teaching. Now, they already possess preliminary combat powers.
This mere 2,000 spacecraft, under this immense civilization level suppression, not to mention 400,000, even 40 of them could beat them to a pulp. Actually, Zhang Menglong simply wanted to show off.
"Congratulations to the Dean for successfully showing off, gaining 5000 Cred Points, Cred Point balance: 183232."
.....
"So cool, is that a Gundam?"
"This is so cool, its mobility is unparalleled."
"Is this invented by Academician Zhang? So powerful, I want to give you children."
"Who are these unlucky souls? What bad timing, choosing to come while we're conducting military exercises?"
"They really have such bad luck, let's mourn for them for three minutes."
"Minors should watch under parental guidance."
...
The live broadcast camera cut back to Zhang Menglong's cockpit.
"Let me introduce to everyone, these are Mobile Warriors. In conventional understanding, 'Gundams' refer to these things. Although they can't match our Interstellar Wanderers' combat power, they absolutely can single-handedly blow up a top battleship!"
"Next, let me demonstrate for you all!" Zhang Menglong fired the weapon equipped on the Mobile Warrior directly at a Durando civilization battleship.
That battleship was instantly shattered.
"This is just one of the weapons, it's called a Mechanical Particle Cannon. Next, I'll demonstrate the other 62 types of weapons and attack methods configured on this Mobile Warrior!"
"This here is a Beam Saber!"
"This is a High-frequency Vibration Particle Dagger."
"This one is a Scorching Laser."
"This here is a Floating Cannon, controlled through neural operations. Without professional training, it might first kill your own people."
"This one is a Laser Cannon, that type of battleship, one shot can take out three!"
...
If vacuum could transmit sound, then space right now is more exciting than the New Year.
Though Lunaire and the others are panicky as hell, they simply can't escape. This net of heaven and earth, how are you supposed to tell them to walk?
"61 types? Academician Zhang, could you act more like a human?"
"Damn, relentless, who is this anyway, why do it this way? Isn't it a bit too much?"
"Let's dedicate a song 'Cold Cold' to this friend from afar!"
"Isn't this a bit overboard? They haven't done anything, I think this action is slightly inappropriate."
This live broadcast image suddenly caused quite a stir, many reactionary forces immediately started leveraging it.
"Is this the precursor of humanity? Reckless killing, how's it different from past tyrants?"
"Is it appropriate to broadcast such things? Isn't there anyone to manage them now?"
"I remember the actual controlling nation of this fleet is Huaxia, right?"
"What happened to loving peace?"
...
"Academician Zhang, we're still live!" Someone saw these comments and immediately fed back the relevant content to Zhang Menglong.
"Academician Zhang, should we stop the live broadcast first?"
"Yes, these images really aren't good, and we don't even know their identity."
"Oh, sorry, got carried away with introducing weapons," Zhang Menglong stopped attacking, "Does anyone remember the alien invasion event from a few years ago?"
"Of course I remember!"
"Will never forget it in this lifetime!"
"During that war, although we won in the end, those Durando people transmitted Earth's relevant information back to their planet before the ship exploded. They came with malice, assembling a fleet towards us, which is the one you're seeing now!"
"Damn! It was them?"
"Couldn't win so they called reinforcements?"
"Sorry, even reinforcements can't withstand Academician Zhang's all energies."
"Who just said that Academician Zhang went overboard? Stand up, murder pays with life, debt repaid with money, this is all natural law!"
"Exactly, don't forget how many of our human fleet died back then? How many were your country's own people, and you're sympathetic to them? They were invaders, killing them, so what?"
"I was the one who said it was overboard! The reason I said it was overboard is because such a joyous thing, Academician Zhang actually enjoyed it alone?"
"They've already given up resistance, they're captives now, everyone don't let them off!"
"Academician Zhang, we'd still like to see more weapons! Show us a few hundred more, we want to feast our eyes in one go!"
When Zhang Menglong revealed these people's origins, public opinion once again went overwhelmingly one-sided.
Mercy? That's not for enemies. For invaders, if you still talk about mercy, that's idiocy!
...
"Just what kind of place is this Blue Star?" Lunaire's forehead was already glistening with sweat.
Originally thought this was a war that would be quickly over, but unexpectedly, it really ended quickly, they didn't even have a chance to strike!
Level Five peak civilization's battleships and Mobile Warriors. Even if they exhausted the ship's energy, they probably couldn't penetrate their energy armor. What the hell is the point of fighting?
"Academician Zhang, the opposing side has sent us a communication request!"
"Transfer it to me!"
"Yes!"
A holographic image of Lunaire quickly appeared before Zhang Menglong.
"Hello friends from Durando civilization, how's it going, surprised?" Zhang Menglong's face was full of cheer, "Waited for you all these years, you finally came."
"You were waiting for us?" At this moment, Lunaire suddenly felt like he'd been duped, "You can't possibly be from a Level One civilization planet, who on Earth are you guys?"
"We truly are a planet of Level One civilization, really, I've read a lot, wouldn't lie to you, you'll find out once you come to our planet for a visit."
"Now, I ask you to immediately cease resistance and surrender your arms to our military," Zhang Menglong said, "I'll tell you, what you're seeing now is only one-tenth of our entire military force. If you're holding onto the hope of trying to escape one or two, by all means, try it!"
