After Qin Lun and Alex arrived at the mecha cabin, they discovered that the ship’s ordnance officer and ground crew were all in place. Apostle and their partner, Pilot Officer Keith, had more than half of them. Everyone’s faces were filled with excitement and nervousness before the battle.

The Attack was different from the Belief. As an independent battleship, it was impossible for the small Attack to have a separate cabin. The 50 armored soldiers stood in two rows. There was only a simple metal armor wall in the middle. The back of the mecha was directly mounted on a small ejection rail.

Not only does the Attack resemble Earth’s old-century submarines, it also ejects its mecha in a manner similar to those of nuclear submarines. In the middle of the warship, there were more than 50 hatches that were opened upwards. When ejected, they would open in batches and take turns ejecting the armor of the soldiers and mechs.

Of course, the trajectory of an independent warship didn’t have the ability to travel through space-time at the speed of more than light. It was just a high-load ejection, ejecting soldiers at a high speed to an area of about one to two hundred light seconds away from the warship, allowing them to fight within the warship’s radar command range.

Qin Lun nodded to the excited young ordnance officer, Shylock, then grabbed the suspension bridge and slid down to the ball cockpit, where he was sent into the soldier’s body. After activating the mecha, he immediately connected to the main control room of the battleship.

The Independent Warship was different from the Belief. Once it entered the combat mechanism, all the pilots had to be in place and receive information about the enemy’s situation from the mecha. If they needed to attack, they would immediately accept the captain’s orders to eject. Without attacking, they would quietly wait inside the mecha for the alert to be lifted.

“Quiet … Robin, how is the situation?” As soon as he entered the mech, Qin Lun heard messy inquiries from the communication channel.

These voices belonged to Apostle, who had already entered the mecha. Pilot Officer Keith, who was in charge of cooperating with them, had good discipline and would not speak without orders.

Hearing Qin Lun’s voice, the other Apostle immediately realized something and immediately quieted down. After all, Apostle was not a soldier. In the past, small teams were used to working together. It was understandable for him to have such a performance.

“The biological radar’s display is not very clear. Right now, we only know that there are more than ten dynamic targets in the detection range. It is impossible to distinguish whether they belong to the enemy or not.” Robin’s gentle voice rang in his ears.

“What’s Dong Yue’s opinion?”

As the three Apostle who needed to stay on the battleship most of the time, they had generally received short training for their respective positions, and Robin had also received captain training. However, at this time, she had to consult Dong Yue’s opinion. After all, she was Captain Marcus’s official adjutant.

‘”Sir Qin Lun, I have two suggestions for reference. One is to send two teams to scout for the detected targets. The other is to wait and see, and wait for those targets to enter the detection range of the momentum radar.” Dong Yue’s voice did not show any fluctuations. As an experienced adjutant of the fleet, this situation could no longer cause her emotions to fluctuate.

“Wait until the target enters the detection range of the momentum radar?” Dong Yue’s words were a little strange, but Qin Lun immediately understood. It turned out that the enemy target was not the Attack, but Robin himself.

As a biological warship, Attack was different from other Giese warships. It also used the clones of Robin, Sawa, and Bobby as its core, and the biological tissues of Jannamer as its materials. It was equipped with some “components” that could exert the replacement ability of three Apostle, and the biological detection radar was one of them.

Robin’s Apostle profession was a Spirit Summoner, and most of her Apostle skills could not be used in this world. However, the powerful spiritual energy that Spirit Summoners were able to communicate with their spiritual bodies was brought in. With more powerful biological radar, Robin’s detection range was two to three times longer than the Attack’s own radar.

Needless to say, the role of range in combat was the main reason why Qin Lun had suggested that Robin and the others stay on the warship. Of course, the reliability of this new biological equipment has not been tested.

Dong Yue’s first suggestion was actually the most normal way to deal with the enemy. The second suggestion was that the beautiful aide had some doubts about Robin’s ability. As small independent battleships, they had limited material possessions and consumed a lot of energy every time they attacked. Of course, they could not attack without attacking.

‘”Robin, I’ll go out with Frank’s two squads and order the combat room to activate the attack mode!” Qin Lun’s expression darkened as he thought about this point. He frowned and said, “Robin, I’ll go out with Frank’s two squads and order the combat room to activate attack mode!”

“Bang, bang, bang!” Above the Attack, more than ten hatches were opened one after another. Ten soldiers accompanied by ejection flames exploded into space, quickly turning into ten small dots of light and disappearing into the depths of the universe.

“Vera, Merry, Phil, form a four-aircraft defensive mode with me!” Alex’s gentle voice came from the communication channel.

“Understood! Understood” The other people’s calm voices quickly rang out on the channel.

Although the Apostle were the captains of their respective crews, the relevant air tactics were still commanded by Pilot Officer Keith. After all, Apostle’s ability to grasp air combat movements in a short period of time did not mean that they had the ability to command air combat.

With Qin Lun’s seventeenth Fallen Angel as the core, the other four quickly formed a four-sided formation that protected him like a cube. As for the group of soldiers led by Frank, they followed them not far to the right, covering them with their flanks.

This was the two-man reconnaissance mode that Apostle had come up with after many drills. With Qin Lun’s reconnaissance ability, he would be able to use another powerful shield.

Kieran had the ability to detect the Eye Thorn. Unlike Robin, who relied on biological radar to detect long-range spiritual energy, his Eye Thorn was slightly closer, but it was more sensitive, making it more suitable for use on mecha.

As for Shield Apostle, there were two people in their team. They were originally MT-attributed, one was Tier 2 Huo Biao, and the other was Frank. Qin Lun brought Frank with him, not Huo Biao, who was stronger. That was because he had confidence that he didn’t need to cover up, and also because he wanted to temper Frank.

If they really ran into an enemy, it was very likely that the other party would be the Apostle team chased by the other two alliances. They wanted to defeat the patrol team, show off their strength, and then poach from the Order-keeping Alliance.

Therefore, these people wouldn’t kill him immediately. Of course, Qin Lun had to give Frank such a good opportunity to train first.

After the two crew members ejected, they flew for nearly ten minutes. Finally, they saw the object Robin had detected. It was a dozen bumblebee-like insects. Their wings emitted a sparkling light, similar to the flames that propelled soldiers. They scattered pieces of powder-like fluorescence in the starry sky.

“Alex, what is this?” Qin Lun transmitted the scouts to his companions through the screen.

“It’s Napasa of the Zerg race. Captain Robin is right. We need to notify the Attack immediately!” Alex looked at the big bug on the screen. His entire body was shocked and his expression immediately turned ugly. “Sir, please be careful. These things are very difficult to deal with.”

“This is Napasa? Does it look different from the projection we saw?” Qin Lun raised his eyebrows. Ever since the drill found out that the arachnids were nearby, Captain Marcus had sent some information to the Apostle so that they could distinguish between the various arachnids on the battlefield.

Napasa, like the black crab, was a scout of the arachnid race. However, the black crab was huge and was more suitable for long-range cruising, while Napasa was a highly mobile patrol and reconnaissance engineer. However, it seemed that Captain Marcus’s information was lagging behind. After so many years, the Arachnid race had obviously changed a lot.

Discovering the arachnid scouting engineers at this distance meant that Captain Marcus’s previous judgment was correct. Planet X-352 indeed had an arachnid base.

“Alex, if they see soldiers, they won’t have time to notify the arachnids on the planet.” Qin Lun asked cautiously.

“Impossible. The arachnid’s biological waves have a distance limit. They’re flying a little far. According to conventional judgement, this distance shouldn’t be enough to notify the arachnids on planet X-352.” Alex thought for a moment and said resolutely.

“Sir, do you want to destroy this team of Napasar?” Vera suddenly interrupted and asked, “These bugs are as mobile as our semi-biological mecha. Although they don’t have enough durability, they can survive until Planet X-352. There are a little too many of them, and we only have two full-life mechas, so it’s impossible not to leak one of them.”

“Haha, I remember that the information mentioned that the arachnid race has a ferocious nature. As long as they subconsciously believe that the enemy is not strong, they will not take the initiative to flee!” Qin Lun’s eyes lit up as he smiled and said, “Then let’s give them an illusion that this is just a beautiful encounter with other wandering creatures in the universe!”

“Sir, you want to attack alone? It’s very dangerous …” Alex was shocked and hurriedly advised.

“Faith and Marcus have high hopes for our arrival in Apostle, and they have provided us with such good soldiers. If we can’t even deal with a few scouts from the arachnid race, doesn’t that make us look useless?”

Qin Lun smiled and said, “It’s decided. In the simulation training, it seems that we haven’t seen the unique abilities that descended on Apostle. I’ll teach you this lesson now!”

As he spoke, the seventeenth Fallen Angel suddenly jumped out of the formation and pounced towards the eight Napasas who hadn’t yet seen the soldiers in the distance.

Under the lightning-fast assault, the Jannamer armor plate on the back of the 17th Fallen Angel’s shoulder suddenly swelled up. It rose high, its legs shortened, and its body thickened. At the same time, the originally ferocious lower jaw slightly protruded forward. The closed mouth suddenly opened, revealing the sharp fangs of a cat.

In an instant, the humanoid soldier armor turned into a giant cat. Its muscles were moving like mice all over its body.

What was even more surprising was that as the mech transformed, a bloodthirsty light shone in its eyes. A layer of water-like shadow flowed through its body, and its body quickly became transparent. In just a few seconds, the giant cat had disappeared from everyone’s radar screens and merged with the dark cosmic starry sky.

Qin Lun’s second Apostle replacement ability was finally revealed in front of everyone. The seventeenth Fallen Angel’s beast form, the Shadow Gale Leopard!
