Before quickly calming down, he barked, "9th, 2nd, 12th Division, charge towards the Fourth Line and hold the human mechs that have broken through the line! Don’t let them pass through and reach the fleet..."

"Yes, Major!!" replied three officers before quickly walking away.

Meanwhile, three mech divisions containing about one thousand five hundred mechs rushed towards the roughly one hundred and fifty human mechs that had broken through and were charging toward four nearby destroyers and a battle cruiser that were giving support to the line they had breached, ignoring those who were attacking them...

They didn’t even bother dodging the attacks and continued rushing toward the nearby Hegemony fleet destroyers and battle cruiser...

Their thrusters simultaneously exploded with even more intense blue flames behind them as they surged through dense energy and kinetic attacks launched at them by the five ships just ahead.

Taking out their own plasma blades, while at the same instant hidden missile pods opened and emptied their antimatter missiles in synchronized salvos that rushed toward the five ships ahead.

At that moment, a few star fighters rushed out of the battle cruiser and charged toward the incoming mechs, launching direct fire at them, which the mechs simultaneously either dodged or endured through their shields...

While one mech surged ahead, slipping through the dense attacks as it avoided particle beams by mere inches before driving its energy spear at the star fighter ahead.

The spear tip easily destroyed the miniature shield of the star fighter and impacted the cockpit and hull directly, shattering the vessel apart right there as it quickly erupted into flames.

Another mech grabbed an enemy starfighter mid-flight after breaking off its shield with its sword, and used its hull as a shield against incoming fire from the cruiser before hurling the wreck into a nearby destroyer whose shield had just collapsed!!

Other starfighters were similarly taken down, or destroyed by magnetic energy attacks that shattered them apart and turned them into molten debris that soon after cooled down...

While they rushed toward the five ships and attacked head-on, first destroying their weapon installations as they charged toward the visible command bridges!!

Hurling their swords or spears, they pierced through the hard armor of the command bridges, decompressing them and killing everyone within just like that...

While others directly entered the ships through their hangars and began to unleash havoc before quickly planting dark matter explosive devices and rushing out of the ships, keeping their destination unchanged and instead launching attacks head-on toward the Fourth Line mech troops that were fighting and launching attacks at their brothers!!

"Sandwich these dogs of star empire and others quickly!!" said one of the 4th battle fleet pilots excitedly.

And just as the reinforcements of the 3rd Wing arrived, the four ships exploded in arcs of spherical flames!! Sending shockwaves that destabilized their mechs and sent them flying!!

The same thing happened with half of the Fourth Wing mechs, who lost their footing, while the 4th Battle Fleet mech troops, as if prepared for it, had already activated their shields and stabilized at full power, withstanding the shockwave before launching a counterattack...

"Fuck! They’ve taken down the Fourth Wing’s support that quickly?!" cursed the 9th Mech Division commander before urging his team to stabilise and charge at the human mechs who were causing chaos at the Fourth Line and stop them immediately....

All the while , others of hegemony fleet mid fight still contemplated what had changed, and why the humans had suddenly become this aggressive, abandoning their defensive tactics, which had been working quite well for them with no losses on their side even now, while the Genome Fleet themselves had already lost many thousands of their mech forces.

One couldn’t help but question... "how were they going to sustain themselves like this? Even though their numbers were thinner, they were still outnumbered five to one!" one mech trooper muttered in confusion.

Meanwhile, Jonson connected with command backline and asked them to reinforce the mech wings immediately, or they could shatter quickly now that one had fallen...

"No worries, this is still good for us, no?" another pilot said excitedly. "Now that they are fighting out in the open without cover or reservation, we could potentially gang up on them!!

With our still larger numbers, one, two, or three groups together should at least be able to take them down and thin their numbers!!"

"What you said is right!!"

Another agreed, followed by many more. Soon, they all came to the same conclusion and began focusing multiple units onto single mechs of the 4th Battle Fleet—targeting one mech with six, twelve, or even twenty attackers at once while ignoring others attacking them and concentrating solely on bringing down one target!!

And quickly, though their numbers dropped from twenty down to merely seven surviving units, they finally managed to take down the first mech of the 4th Battle Fleet!!

"Ughhh... cowards of the star races!! You all have no shame ganging up twenty against one!!" cursed the human pilot as he was quickly teleported out from his mech moments before it was pierced through by six spear-like blade weapons aimed directly at the cockpit!!

"Haha!! Success!!" shouted one of the surviving Hegemony mech pilots before quickly informing the others, who immediately became excited!!

Though troubled that they had lost thirteen mechs just to destroy one human mech, it was still progress nonetheless—and many of them began believing that if they used this tactic on a larger scale, they might drastically reduce their losses.

For now, all they could do was charge at the humans and overwhelm them with numbers if they truly wanted to thin out their forces.

The others quickly understood that time was of the essence. The more human units they destroyed, the more time they would gain—and the closer they would be to surviving until reinforcements arrived...

Adapting to this new method and grouping together, they rushed toward human mechs already engaged with two of their own, attacking simultaneously without backing down!!

One of the commanders immediately passed down orders across the battlefield.

"For the clueless bunch on the 4th Wing let them be clueless and act as a bit—while you all target the isolated human units!!

Especially the ones that have pushed through the 4th Wing!! With your numbers, you all should be able to overwhelm them quickly and easily!! See to it, Captains of the 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th Mech Divisions!!" barked the commander of the 3rd Wing Jonson .

"As you command, Major Jonson!!" the three captains shouted simultaneously before quickly mobilizing their divisions.

Together, they targeted twenty human mechs currently fighting forces from the 4th Division.

The other divisions followed the same strategy as Captain of the 9th Division and rapidly rushed toward the battlefield sector.

And they quickly formed a new formation that all four captains believed would be more than enough to overwhelm the human mechs!! 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Which were no doubt formidable...

With this formation in place—a formation they had trained countless times and even used against stronger enemies before—they had always managed to bring their opponents down with minimal losses, and sometimes even none at all...

And that was exactly what they hoped to accomplish today as well!!

They wanted to destroy the human mechs efficiently while avoiding heavy casualties themselves—or perhaps suffer none at all, which would be even better.

And so, around twenty mechs grouped together and rushed toward nearly twenty human mechs that were tearing through the mech lines of the 4th Wing with frightening ease...

Even while fighting one, two, four, or even five opponents at the same time, the human units were still managing to overwhelm their forces!!

The sight alone sent huge shockwaves through the morale of the 9th Division troops rushing toward them. Some even felt genuine terror creeping into their hearts...

As if the human mech had eyes on the back of its head and sensed them approaching, the two back-mounted palm pulse weapons suddenly rotated toward them and fired bursts of incandescent energy rounds!!

"DEFEND!!" the squad commander shouted in terror.

But he was too late.

Four of his teammates, who had been slightly out of formation, were instantly struck by the attack!!

The energy fire pierced straight through their shields—which normally could completely encase and protect the mech bodies—and hit dead center before exploding violently!!

Along with the explosions, the mechs themselves burst apart into molten debris scattering across space!!

"Fuck!!" one of the team members cursed as he manipulated his mech and barely avoided the attack himself while his fellow wingman burst into flames!!

"How the fuck is that human pilot still able to pay attention to the radar and even target us with such precision when his hands are already busy fighting five others from the 4th Wing?! This is madness!!"

A creeping fear gripped his heart, as if the Grim Reaper itself had locked its eyes onto him and was simply waiting for the right moment to harvest his life...
