<h4>Chapter 425: Mayday! Mayday!</h4>

    Inside the cabin of Han Jia, Ye Chong was having cold sweats all over his body. His face was pale as he stared at the flickering digital snow on the hologram.


    He could not see a thing out there.


    Such electromaic interference! Han Jia''s detection system had been impaired… Ye Chong briskly changed to Photon detection optic. Although such mode offered a narrower scope of vision projected in a lower resolution, at least he could discern something at the outside! It was his only choice!


    "Can you see them?" asked Ye Chong in the channel.


    "I can… but…," Rui Bing responded, "It looks foreign to me. There are many lines… in different directions and the mech with a tail has the most lines…," she said slowly as she tried making out the strange view she got.


    Ye Chong shifted the camera to Huang Jiming''s mech.


    So that is what those engravings are for!


    Ye Chong was shocked while also finally recognizing the situation upon view.


    Meanwhile, the opponents were simrly surprised.


    Skeleton mech? Miniature mech? Those were certainly not the standard models both Ye Yin and Huang Jiming could see everyday. They were well-informed of the capability of a skeleton mech, but the miniature mech… "So the mech was with the boy the whole time…," whispered Huang Jiming. They knew the origin of this technological masterpiece by Gu Shaoze. All aristocrats were intrigued by his newest craft as they set up strong surveince around him, but Mu made a lucky crash. Eventually, every member of the aristocrats died. Nobody survived other than Gu Shaoze and Number Two.


    But after they left Ye Chong, the pair of misfortune still encountered their second crisis, the MPA. In the battle, Number Two met her demise from protecting Gu Shaoze who showed strong resistance in handing over the mech.


    The MPA intended to take him back to the base under escort, but they bumped into the spaceship of Fred the Great. Under the conflict, Ye Chong forced himself into the warship and discovered the fainted brilliance. Gu Shaoze, breathing the final few bit of his soul, passed the Guardian to him atst.


    The aristocrats acknowledged the existence of the Guardian, even the specifications of it, as they would receive reports of the mech from time to time. And after the few escapes Ye Chong made using the Guardian, they were convinced and started to reevaluate its capabilities.


    The anti-detection ability of both skeleton mech and the Guardian was a shocker to the 3 legends.


    They had also switched to Photon mode detection.


    The 5 mechs hovered in the air, anticipating the big battle.


    But no one dared to make the first move.


    It was andmine, silent yet lethal, blowing up upon touch.


    Huang Jiming, Ye Yin and Brahmara knew each other well. They were at a simr level in battle and would only wound each other in the end if they fought.


    In addition, there was a skeleton mech with unknown skills and an unforeseeable Guardian mech. They could not imagine how both of them would make a joint attack and how strong the attack would be.


    The 3 legends might be the top pilots from their respective families, but certainly they would not be initiating a war on a whim.


    Any move from the mech would trigger something major now, not even the slightest gesture should be allowed.


    It would be a pure disastrous chaos once a bullet got fired.


    Sigh…


    Huang Jiming and Ye Yin were feeling dull, since they presumed a quick and fearless fight against each other at first but the sudden participation of Brahmara killed the fun, not to mention the other 2 mechs hovering nearby.


    They discarded the thoughts of an one-on-one atst. This was because anyone who initiated the fight would clearly be the punching bag for the others. Literally, nobody in He Yue gxy could ever survive the chained attack by any four of those mechs. The first to move would be the first to go.


    None of them dared to flee too. Their back would probably be shot if any of them decided to turn back and run away.


    The 5 mechs remained still.


    "Brah, let''s team up with Sister Bing and Brother Ye," said the little boy childishly.


    "Identity: Unknown. Judgement: Not Possible." The machine beeped emotionlessly.


    "It''s alright. They are good friends. How about you try connecting them… I can talk," said the little boy to the projection.


    "Negative. Proposition: Rejected as unreasonable."


    "It would really work! Come on!" said the little boy in agitation.


    "Order from the leader: Your safety is the priority," said Brahmara firmly.


    "Leader, the tribe leader, you always throw this excuse to me! Who care about the leader! Brah you sometimes are just bad!" muttered the boy in an unsatisfied tone. He got up but he sat back obediently atst.


    If only Ye Chong could see the setup in the cabin, he would be jumping in amazement. The hydraulic suspension system was of royalty. Probably that was the reason why Brahmara would have the little boy inside the body.


    "This is getting boring. Keep standing there guys, I''m taking a nap," mumbled the little boy with a disappointed look, as hey down. The seat wasrge and asfy as a bed.


    The hologram dimmed slowly as a soft luby yed inside the cabin. In no time the boy began snoring as joining the sheeps at the ranch in his dream.


    Well, meanwhile, nobody was enjoying the same leisure he had.


    They remained still for the next 3 hours.


    It surely was consuming for them to remain at high rms for such a long time. Brahmara had the advantages of automatic judgement intelligence but it would consume much more energy than the other models.


    The guests on the ground were finding the giant crafts strange in the air. Being naturally the residents of the free space zone, the foreign mechs were enough to distress the rm and summon the army to kill the outsiders. These outsiders were in the sky now nheless, so these Jie experts could only watch them.


    The guests were not the least entertained few. Ye Luo and Feng Su were feeling worse as their respective families would be having a massive war in no time and all they could do was exchanging nces since their mechs were not with them.


    Staring at the projection with full focus, Ye Chong felt his stamina draining quickly.


    Out of the blue, the dimensional keystone of Moon King vibrated on his wrist.


    The vibration, again? He received the same vibration when Ye family sent Ye Luo the order to escort him home.


    What kind of order had arrived this time?


    Ye Chong gave a quick nce at other mechs. He prompted the keystone interface after making sure that there would not be any move for the next few seconds.


    "Mayday! Mayday! The pathway to free space zone is under attack by unknown force! I repeat the pathway is under attack! All battle units are required to head for assistance! All battle units are required to head for assistance! Coordination would be given! Emergency! Emergency!"


    Ye Chong quickly switched the interface off after viewing the distress call.


    Little did he know that, the other pilots had received a simr call as well. Unlike Ye Chong''s indifference, their faces paled right away. Even Brahmara had turned on the rm to wake the boy up in shock.


    Unlike Ye Chong, they all knew the message behind this call!


    The pathway was specifically the connection between He Yue and the free space zone. There were 3 pathways in general, under the ownership of the three aristocrats respectively, while these pathways were the only connection to the world outside. One may argue that Ye Chong had walked a different way before and the gxy was boundless, but Ye Chong managed to survive only because of his protagonist''s luck, any folk could have died walking down his way.


    Assuming all top pilots received the simr call, viewing from a bigger picture, all three pathways were under attack. The aristocrats valued these pathways so they were under great guard by the families'' own men. It should not have a problem but the pilots were receiving the distress signal. The guardsmen were losing! What else would that mean?


    They could already imagine how furious the invasion was!


    Once they lost the pathway, they lost the way home!


    Something strange then happened in the free space zone.


    Countless mechs were seenunching into the sky one after another. In less than 3 minutes, the entire sky above Flying Moon City had been crowded by over 300 mechs. The experts on the ground were looking pale, as no one would have expected such an enormous technological force hiding in the dark.


    The 300 mechs soon moved into their respective team.


    "I would assume that all of you have heard the call. We''ll hold this fight at the moment. It''s time to go, it''s an emergency after all. Now if you would excuse me," initiated Huang Jiming. His friendly tone now sounded hectic as he piloted his mech zooming into Xi Feng''s team.


    Ye Yin and Brahmara said nothing as they flew to their respective team.


    The ground began shaking, the ground shattered as three spaceships emerged! They flew and joined the hovering team ordingly.


    To face the unknown danger, the three aristocrats had summoned all forces they had hidden within the free space zone over the years.


    And on others in free space zone, countless mechs had sted off into the air too. They went into the giant spaceship, left the and came to the main army in intense eleration.


    All bit of strength was collecting gradually.


    And Ye Chong was seeing an empty sky before him.


    He was bewildered. Something did seem to have happened… should he move?


    On second thought, maybe not. Whatever that was happening to the three aristocrats had nothing to do with him.


    But then, while everyone was being unaware, the change hade.


    It really hade without forewarning.
