Chapter 405: Conspiracy (2)
With so many spaceships gathered together, it was still very intimidating.
The Droplet Star Mecha rook the lead and flew to the southeast corner of the space relay station on the Wolf King Planet, where a patch of dark outer space was.
The Droplet Star Mecha came to a halt. The mechas and warships behind it all came to a halt.
After about ten seconds, a smaller light warship left the main force and arrived in front of the Droplet Star Mecha.
A few researchers wearing miniature mechas came out of the warship. After they pressed several buttons, a cabin about 100 meters long, 40 meters wide, and 20 meters high floated up.
The cabin was completely black. If one’s eyesight was not good, it was easy to not see clearly against the pitch-black space background.
The cabin continued to float upwards until it reached the chest of the Droplet Star Mecha before stopping.
…..
A beam of white light shot out from the chest of the Droplet Star Mecha, and a hunchbacked old man was sent out by the mecha.
Because of the distance, everyone could not see the old man’s appearance clearly. However, judging from his figure and temperament, he should be Jiang Shan Wufeng.
The floating cabin door opened automatically, and Jiang Shan Wufeng entered the cabin.
The cabin hovered for five minutes before it slowly flew toward the pitch-black area.
After flying for another 10 minutes, the cabin stopped moving and waited for the dark matter rays to arrive.
Once a dark matter ray appeared somewhere, it would usually appear for a week or a month. However, dark matter rays did not always surge.
In the cycle of its appearance, the dark matter rays would usually surge for about half an hour before gradually disappearing. The next surge would take another 5-10 hours.
The cabin that carried Jiang Shan Wufeng hovered quietly in the path of the dark matter rays. The hundreds of titled mecha masters and thousands of warships of the Jiang family surrounded the cabin.
The Droplet Star Mecha had lost its pilot and was quietly hovering in place.
At this moment, whether it was enemies or friends, schemers or adventurers, everyone was holding their breath and waiting for the dark matter rays to surge.
They waited for more than two hours.
Finally, in the space far away from the cabin, a pitch-black light shot over. When rhe light was close, it was like a pitch-black river rushing through the starry sky.
For the first time, Ning Shi felt what it meant to be darker than black.
The background of the space was black, but Ning Shi and the others could clearly see a darker river flowing in it!
Splash!
The cabin was submerged by the surging dark matter rays and instantly disintegrated layer by layer. Time began to reverse, and the cabin was about to turn into raw materials.
At this moment, someone made a move.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Out of rhe 600 -plus titled mecha masters of the Jiang family, nearly 200 mecha launched an attack. They fired all kinds of cannons at the surrounding mecha.
Among the spaceships, there were also many fleets that had defected and attacked together with the mechas.
Some mechas and warships had no time to defend against the sudden attack and were directly blasted into ashes.
However, more mechas and warships reacted and started to counterattack.
The Jiang family’s own army began to fight among themselves, and the scene immediately fell into chaos.
Amidst the chaos, the Droplet Star Mecha was still quietly hovering in place. Occasionally, artillery fire would hit its body, but it was blocked by its powerful defense.
The battle quickly spread to the space relay station of the Wolf King Planet. The relay station was attacked by several light cannons and began to disintegrate. The titled mecha masters gathered in the relay station and flew into space. Many people1 s eyes were filled with greed as they looked at the Droplet Star Mecha that stood quietly.
Unlike the origin planet, in the Star Field Alliance, the technology to crack the ownership of mechas was very mature, so everyone wanted to snatch the Droplet Star Mecha.
Once one became the owner of the Droplet Star Mecha, one could become rhe master and rule over a region. They would become one of the seven most powerful people in the Star Field Alliance.
Finally, an unaffiliated titled mecha master could not help but make a move. He began to fly towards the Droplet Star Mecha, wanting to snatch the mecha. As more than 2000 unaffiliated titled mecha masters joined the battle, the battle in space became even more chaotic and tragic.
The number of casualties began to gradually increase.
In such an intense battle, everyone was either focused on the battle or focused on the Droplet Star Mecha.
They didn’t even notice that the cabin containing Jiang Shan Wufeng had been completely disintegrated by the dark matter rays and turned into the most basic particles.
Within the cabin, there was no trace of Jiang Shan Wufeng. It was as if it had died along with the cabin.
Ning Shi didn’t move. He hid in the air far away and observed the situation on the battlefield with his Level 3 sub-bodies.
He knew that now was not rhe time for him to make a move. The mastermind behind him had not appeared yet.
The fierce battle lasted for several hours. Hundreds of warships and mechas were destroyed in the battle.
Finally, a Heavenly Warrior Mecha broke through the Jiang family’s army’s defense and flashed in front of the Droplet Star Mecha.
The Heavenly Warrior Mecha held the Droplet Star Mecha s legs with both hands, wanting to lift it up and escape.
The mecha master who was piloting the mecha was called Zhang Yi. He was ecstatic. He had finally obtained the Droplet Star Mecha that he had always dreamed of!
However, in the next second, he noticed something unusual. The Droplet Star Mecha actually did not move at all.
This wasn’t right!
It would have been easy to lift a pilotless mecha with the power of a Heavenly Warrior, but he couldn’t lift it now.
Zhang Yi was very alert. He knew that he had been tricked. There was a mecha master inside the Droplet Star Mecha!
The Heavenly Warrior loosened his arms and was about to escape when he saw a small drop of water dripping down from the leg of the Droplet Star Mecha. The Droplet Star Mecha looked slow, but it was actually extremely fast. Zhang Yi, who was piloting the Heavenly Warrior Mecha, could not dodge it and was hit by the Droplet Star Mecha. He and his mecha were crushed into a huge piece of metal.
This turn of events stunned everyone. Everyone stopped fighting and looked at the Droplet Star Mecha in the middle of the battle.
The Droplet Star Mecha began to make a sound. It was Jiang Shan Wufeng s voice!
“A bunch of trash, still thinking of snatching my Droplet Star Mecha. You really overestimate yourself!”
As the voice spread, everyone understood that they had been deceived by Jiang Shan Wufeng. He did not enter the cabin to receive the baptism of the dark matter rays.
Another person had just entered the cabin. Jiang Shan Wufeng had been staying in the cockpit of the Droplet Star Mecha, calmly watching everyone fight for the Droplet Star Mecha.
A Sea King Mecha flew in front of the Droplet Star Mecha and questioned: “Jiang Shan Wufeng! To think that you’re still rhe clan leader of the Jiang family. In order to lure us out, you allowed the clan to have internal strife. In this battle alone, the clan lost hundreds of titled mechas and more than 2,000 space warships.
“After this battle, the strength of rhe Jiang family’s army will have been weakened by ar least one-third.
“You’re really a sinner of the Jiang family! ”
Ning Shi was very familiar with the voice. It was one of the candidates of the Jiang family who wanted to compete for rhe position of master, Jiang Wuya. Hearing Jiang Wuya’s accusation, Jiang Shan Wufeng sneered and said arrogantly, “If the Jiang family isn’t ruled by me, then to me, there would be no need for the Jiang family to exist. No matter how powerful the Jiang family is, it would be meaningless.
“I only have one goal, and that is to break through the shackles and advance to the realm of perpetual motion mecha with the Droplet Star Mecha.
“For this goal, I am willing to pay the price and kill my closest direct bloodline.
“Anyone who hinders me from achieving my goal must die, let alone you collateral descendants of the Jiang family.
“Besides, what does the Jiang family’s loss today have to do with me? Did 1 kill any of the Jiang family members? Did 1 destroy any of their mechas?
“All the losses were caused by you traitors who tried to offend your superiors!”
When Ning Shi heard Jiang Shan Wufeng s words, he sighed at Jiang Shan Wufeng’s ruthlessness. At the same time, he instantly understood everything. The news that Jiang Shan Wufeng was going to undergo the baptism of dark matter rays near the relay station on the Wolf King Planet must have been deliberately leaked by Jiang Shan Wufeng himself.
His goal was to give the opposition in the family a chance to make a move. He would take the opportunity to purge more and more opposition in the Jiang family and stabilize his rule within the Jiang family.
As for the arrival of so many unaffiliated titled mecha masters, it was probably because someone wanted to muddy the waters and deliberately spread the
news..
