As Xia Chujian flew towards the Equator, Mao Yonggui and Chu Qingjuan also returned from high altitude with four Starship Airships.
Not only did they come, but Chen Yansheng and Sang Yadi also arrived, bringing with them the four thousand Starry Sky Marines from the Starry Sky Cruiser.
One thousand Marines per Airship was standard.
Sang Yadi told Xia Chujian that the Starry Sky Cruiser was now under the control of Gu Zhongjin, and she and Chen Yansheng wanted to come down to help.
Xia Chujian was in need of manpower, and said, "Then follow behind me, and don't leave the formation."
...
At this time, on the Equator of Senze Star, Mecha Warriors flew out of the Interstellar Airships, soaring into the sky.
They did not engage with the Shang People and Haidagong on the ground, but directly abandoned the Interstellar Airships and flew towards the coordinates agreed upon with Xia Chujian.
First, the Marines from Lin Xiaoxiao's five Interstellar Airships, and then the Marines from Xu Teng's five Interstellar Airships.
A total of more than ten thousand Mecha Warriors flying in the air, the scene was also magnificent.
The Shang People and Haidagong on the ground were overjoyed to see these Beichen Sergeants retreating without a fight.
They fired a few shots into the sky at random, and then rushed towards the Interstellar Airships parked on the ground.
Even the Haidagong with membrane wings that could fly, which Xia Chujian had prepared for in advance, did not fly up to pursue the fleeing Mecha Warriors.
This further proved that their main target of the sneak attack was these Interstellar Airships.
The Beichen Empire's Mecha Warriors were just collateral damage.
The engine outlets of these Interstellar Airships were tightly wrapped with layers of thick, viscous, net-like material.
But when a few Haidagong walked over and sprayed fire at the stuff a few times, the viscous net-like material turned to ashes.
Lin Xiaoxiao's eyes almost popped out when she saw this scene.
They had clearly tried burning it with fire, but that stuff wouldn't ignite at all!
Why could the fire sprayed by the Haidagong burn this thing to ashes? But this also proved that the target of these Shang People and Haidagong was really their Interstellar Airships...
Lin Xiaoxiao sneered, thinking, wait until you get on board!
She and Xu Teng stayed behind to cover the retreat of the Starry Sky Marines, and also to seize the time to remotely detonate the high-energy bombs.
Previously, the First Interstellar Fleet used this method to blow up nearly forty thousand Shang People and Haidagong.
But this group of Shang People and Haidagong who came to sneak attack seemed to be unaware of this operation.
Lin Xiaoxiao and Xu Teng exchanged a look and slowed down.
Because the ten Interstellar Airships they left behind had already been invaded by the Shang People and Haidagong.
They deliberately didn't lock the Hold doors when they left.
These Shang People and Haidagong drilled in one by one, and were now figuring out how to communicate with the Mechanical Intelligence of the Interstellar Airships and start automatic piloting.
Just after the last Shang People and Haidagong climbed into those Interstellar Airships, Lin Xiaoxiao and Xu Teng pressed the switches on the remote control.
*BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!* Countless explosions rang out in succession.
No matter how strong and bulletproof the Haidagong's helmets were, they were blasted with holes under the shock wave of the high-energy explosives.
The gunpowder from the explosions ignited high-temperature fires, and the weapons and bullets left in the Holds also exploded.
In the chaos, the gills on the cheeks of those Haidagong were inevitably pierced by the shock waves of the explosions.
As for those Shang People, needless to say, they had died in the explosions at the first moment.
On the Equator, raging fires were burning, even spreading to the Marine Plant Forest on both sides.
Soon, a Marine Plant Forest was burned down.
But Marine Plant Forests are different from real land plants.
Their high water content meant that this fire could not spread quickly.
After burning a distance to create a firebreak, the fire gradually died down.
Lin Xiaoxiao said regretfully, "It's a pity about our equipment and food reserves."
When they left, the situation was urgent, and they didn't have time to take all the weapon reserves and food reserves with them. Apart from a portion they carried with them, the rest were destroyed in the raging fire.
Xu Teng said, "Forget it, the supplies are gone, but as long as we're still alive, it's fine."
They didn't pay much attention to it.
Xia Chujian's supplies were definitely sufficient.
Besides, the return trip was only twelve hours.
Even if they had nothing to eat, they could endure it.
...
Xia Chujian, with the Interstellar Airship, first flew towards the place where Chu Qingchen and the others had been.
She also wanted to see if there were any survivors there.
Seven Lù used the Interstellar Airship's biological detector to scan the area and quickly discovered some Starry Sky Marines hidden in the Marine Plant Forest.
It quickly said, "Master, there are some survivors over there, about five hundred people."
Xia Chujian sighed, "Only five hundred survivors... but the First Interstellar Fleet really did a great job!"
At least they dared to fight to the death, which is the true backbone of an army.
Without soldiers who dare to fight to the death, there is no real national defense security.
Weapons and equipment are secondary; soldiers must have the spirit to strive for victory at all costs.
Xia Chujian hurriedly ordered the Interstellar Airship's Mechanical Intelligence to park the Airship in the sky near the Marine Plant Forest.
When the Marine Corps of the First Interstellar Fleet, hidden in the Marine Plant Forest, looked up and saw the Interstellar Airship stopping in the sky, they were all vigilant.
But soon, Xia Chujian directly flew out of the Airship wearing a Mecha, and shouted to them in mid-air, "I am First Lieutenant Xia Chujian of the Fourth Interstellar Fleet."
"I received the combat video you sent me and have come to rescue you."
Hearing her mention the video, the only surviving Captain immediately burst into tears.
He didn't expect that Xia Chujian not only received the video he sent but actually came to save them!
This person's Mecha was still intact, and he immediately took off, excitedly saying, "I am Fang Ping, the 1st Squad Captain of the Marine Corps of the First Interstellar Fleet! I sent you the video! It's great that you could come, First Lieutenant Xia!"
He looked down and shouted to his comrades, "Come out quickly! This is First Lieutenant Xia of the Fourth Interstellar Fleet!"
"She's the one who forced First Lieutenant Chu and the others to allow us to practice with the Mecha!"
If Xia Chujian hadn't intervened, their five thousand people would have been almost completely wiped out long before they could perish together with those Shang People and their accomplices.
Although they still suffered heavy losses later, Xia Chujian gave them the opportunity to fight the enemy head-on!
Moreover, they killed nearly 40,000 enemy troops at the cost of four thousand five hundred people!
They did not fail!
Of course, if Xia Chujian hadn't come to rescue them, they would not have been able to return to the Starry Sky Cruiser in the high altitude without the Interstellar Airship, and they would not have been able to go home.
They originally thought they were doomed.
But Xia Chujian's arrival gave them hope for life!
When Xia Chujian heard this person introduce himself as Fang Ping, she immediately knew that this was the Marine who sent her the video.
She said to them, "I have now opened the bottom hatch of my Interstellar Airship. Come up quickly. I still have to pick up the comrades of the Second Interstellar Fleet and the Third Interstellar Fleet."
These people did not hesitate and quickly took off from their hiding places and flew towards Xia Chujian's Interstellar Airship.
At this time, Xia Chujian ordered the Captain Fang Ping, "You are responsible for identifying and registering your comrades. Report the data to me after you enter."
"You know my Smart Bracelet number."
Fang Ping immediately said, "Yes, Captain Xia!"
"I have a list here, I'll call out the names!"
As he spoke, after they entered the small room for purification and cleaning, Fang Ping had them come out of the Mecha one by one and used his data to review them.
This was also a necessary procedure.
These people belong to Chu Qingchen's side of the Starry Sky Cruisers and Interstellar Airships.
Their biometric data is there, and Mechanical Intelligence will automatically recognize them when they enter and exit.
Xia Chujian doesn't have that here, so she needs to re-establish their biometric data files.
Xia Chujian trusts Fang Ping. As long as he confirms they are his comrades, everything will be fine.
Soon, the Interstellar Airship took off rapidly, flying towards the place agreed upon by Lin Xiaoxiao and Xu Teng.
And Lin Xiaoxiao and Xu Teng were also flying towards her.
Their people all have Mecha, and they also carry conventional weapons.
It's just that they used ten Starship Airships as the price to kill 20,000 Shang People and 20,000 Haidagong just now, and they no longer have their own Flying Vehicles.
They all saw the commotion Xia Chujian made in the high altitude before.
They were all wondering where the fire and explosion were.
When Xia Chujian's Interstellar Airship flew over, the four Starship Airships brought by Mao Yonggui and the others also arrived.
Lin Xiaoxiao and Xu Teng breathed a sigh of relief.
They finally felt a little safer.
When Xia Chujian saw the 10,000 Mecha Warriors flying over, she quickly ordered all five of her Starship Airships to open the bottom Hold passages.
A gate was released from the bottom, sloping upwards, waiting for them to fly in.
Lin Xiaoxiao and Xu Teng quickly directed their Marine Corps, successively flying into the bottom Holds of the five Interstellar Airships under Xia Chujian's command.
Each Airship, with a little squeezing, could also load 3,000 Mecha Warriors.
After everyone entered, they first went through purification and cleaning procedures, and then Lin Xiaoxiao and Xu Teng verified their Marine Corps.
It took a full two hours to purify, clean, and verify these 10,000 people.
After Lin Xiaoxiao and Xu Teng confirmed that these people were all Starry Sky Marines under their command, Xia Chujian was relieved.
She was saving people, but if she let the enemy take advantage of the situation, she wouldn't be able to defend herself no matter how hard she tried.
In her Captain's Room, Xia Chujian said to everyone gathered in the bottom warehouses of the five Airships: "There may still be 40,000 Shang People and 50,000 Haidagong here."
"They are not backward primitives, but have the best conventional military equipment in the Beichen Galaxy."
"All of us together only have 15,500 people."
"Fifteen thousand fighting ninety thousand, and we can't have any mistakes, which means that the Mecha can't have any damage. Once damaged, even if it is not hit by the enemy, it is a dead end."
"We no longer have Interstellar Airships to use as bait."
"I don't want to make unnecessary sacrifices."
"So I suggest that we return immediately."
"Everyone's Starry Sky Cruisers are still there, and you can leave Senze Star immediately and return to the Beichen Empire's star field."
"As for the sinful intentions of these Shang People and Haidagong, we can report to the Military after we go back, and let them send Gene Evolvers to snipe these enemies who are trying to occupy our planet!"
