Chapter 1258.
A cup of fine wine with a starry red light in the azure blue was consumed by Wang Chuan in one drink.
The Starry Sky Flame was Old Sailor’s signature cocktail, which was said to have been blended using five kinds of spirits and mixed with the extracted essence of mutant creatures, creating an extremely unique flavor.
Some people liked to slowly savor this cocktail, while Wang Duan liked to smother it in one gulp.
The liquor entered the throat, stimulating the mucous membranes, and the high, spicy feeling went straight to the stomach, and then warmly radiated out.
Interspersed with a hint of life energy.
Wang Chen let out a long breath and asked the bartender for another glass.
The white-haired barman glanced at Wang Chuan and said, “Young man, you’ve already had three cups.”
The previous times Wang Chuan came to the Old Sailor Bar, he would only drink three glasses of wine at most.
The intensity of the Starry Sky Flame was extremely high, so an ordinary person would fall down after one cup, and three cups already belonged to the overdose level.
“I know.”
Wang Dust smiled and said, “Let’s have one last drink.”
The bar owner wordlessly mixed another cup for him, then said, “This one is on me.”
“Thanks.”
Wang Chen raised his glass and was about to drink it.
Suddenly his personal terminal shook violently a few times and instantly automatically popped up a holographic screen.
The text displayed on it was bright red and eye-catching!
What Wang Dust had just received was clearly a Class B alert and summoning message, requesting him to immediately head to Air Harbor Sector D72 to board the ship and carry out an emergency rescue mission.
Also receiving this message were several Black Flag Squad members who had come with Wang Chen.
Everyone looked at each other, and coincidentally leapt up and rushed out of the bar as fast as they could.
Wang Dust didn’t expect his first real battle after joining the army to come so quickly, he didn’t think too much, and after leaving the bar, he immediately got on the hover car and rushed to the D72 area of the air harbor.
The D72 area of the air harbor was the battleship berth of the 7th Fast Reverse Fleet, and after arriving with several teammates, Wang Dust boarded the Jiang Yuan destroyer that was moored there at the first time.
After only ten minutes, this high-speed destroyer took off and flew out of the air harbor towards the boundless star sea.
Also taking off at the same time was another Jiang Yang destroyer.
Wang Chen did not receive the specific information of the mission from his personal terminal until he entered the fighter mech.
It turned out that just half an hour ago, just half a million kilometers away from the TK043 space fortress, in the star field airspace, a large civilian transport ship, the Chang Tai, was suddenly attacked by star pirates.
The Chang Tai sent out an emergency call for help, and after receiving the message, the Bastion side immediately dispatched two high-speed destroyers from the Seventh Fast Reaction Fleet to the area of the accident.
It was known that the enemy had a total of three small and medium sized warships, and were using wolf pack tactics to tear into the Chang Tai.
The Chang Tai was still struggling to hold on.
But for this kind of civilian transport ship, there was a limit to how strong its defenses could be, and it was only a matter of time before the energy shields were breached.
In the fighter cabin of the Jiang Yuan Destroyer, hundreds of fighter mechs were lined up in a neat formation, and all the pilots in position, including Wang Dust, were quietly waiting for the moment of battle to come.
Since there was no access to the external view inside the mechs, there was no way for everyone to know the exact situation.
That was until a new command was pushed over.
The latest situation was that the Chang Tai’s shields had been breached, and the Star Pirate battleship had completed the breaching and boarding process after connecting with this transport ship, and had taken some of the crew hostage.
The rest of the crew had taken refuge in safe houses, but had also lost control of the Chang Tai.
This caused the Black Rider Squad’s mission to change.
After another ten minutes, an icy electronic tone rang in Wang Duan’s ears, “Staff Sergeant Wang Duan, please prepare to eject from the cabin and fight, countdown 10, 9, 8 ……”
When the count reached “0”, Wang Chuan, along with the SPB17 Immortal Bird he was controlling, were instantly ejected from the battleship.
In the next moment, Wang Chen’s mecha entered the vastness of space.
The two PC5600 engines ejected azure-colored light flames in unison, propelling the Immortal Bird mech forward at a high speed, while the multi-phase radar and all-vision system turned on at the same time, transmitting the data in the surrounding space to Wang Chuan.
In just 0.5 seconds, Wang Dust locked onto his target.
A Star Pirate warship thousands of kilometers away!
This Star Pirate ship was pitch black, almost indistinguishable with the naked eye against the background of the deep starry sky, but it couldn’t obscure the scanning of the multiphase radar and the onboard optoelectronic detection.
It was about half the size of the Jiang Yuan destroyer and was shaped like a large cigar with black hairs, looking odd and ugly.
However, this Star Pirate warship was not the first target that the two high-speed destroyers struck at, as another Star Pirate ship of greater tonnage, suspected to be the flagship, became the target of the fire set.
Against the former was none other than the ship’s mecha brigade, including Wang Dust!
As a Ranger in the Black Flag squad, Wang Dust raised the power of the Immortal Bird’s engine to its maximum, which made him quickly break away from the group and turn into a lone wolf charging ahead.
As the saying goes, the gun hits the head, and Wang Dust immediately became the target of the Star Pirate warships.
A high energy particle beam broke through the air and shot.
But at this moment, Wang Dust, while maintaining his high speed, also began to maneuver and dodge with unparalleled flexibility.
Compared to the massive size of the battleship, the Immortal Bird Mecha was like a tiny fly, not in the same magnitude at all.
But even with the high-tech firepower lock, the Star Pirate warship’s first wave of long-range shelling simply couldn’t stop the wildly advancing Wang Dust, letting the Immortal Bird under his command quickly approach.
Realizing that it was not good, the Star Pirate Battleship immediately released its own battle mechs.
And such a battle was what Wang Dust was most familiar with.
He quietly stimulated his spiritual energy.
Wang Dust had long ago realized that the range of his spiritual energy transmitted and covered in a space environment would far exceed the distance on the ground.
This gap was very large.
The two Star Pirate mechs were instantly included in the scanning range of the psychic energy, and the other party’s every move was clearly and unmistakably presented to Wang Dust’s perception, and he was even able to prejudge the enemy’s movements.
After dodging a high-energy particle beam, the Immortal Bird mech controlled by Wang Chuan raised its right arm, and the 150mm high-energy particle cannon mounted on it suddenly bloomed with a bright light.
The particle stream containing destructive energy instantly swept over a distance of more than a hundred kilometers, striking a Star Pirate mech with unparalleled precision and instantly shattering its energy shield.
In fact, this Star Pirate mech was doing a high-speed maneuver, but it turned out to be as if it had purposely crashed into Wang Dust’s cannon.
It felt like it was cooperating very well.
This Star Pirate mech flew out uncontrollably under the powerful impact.
Without waiting for it to regain its shield, it was hit by another high-energy particle beam.
A large flame suddenly exploded in the void, and countless broken fragments splattered across the sky.
It had actually been completely blown up!
