Finally, he specifically emphasized one sentence: under any circumstances!

Upon hearing the leader’s deliberate warning, the soldiers who received the order understood his meaning. In other words, as long as they could shoot down the enemy’s aircraft, even sacrificing their own personnel was worthwhile.

The enemy retreated, "Ba Lv said loudly: "Teacher, they must be scared out of their wits."

Yanran nodded in support of her view: "I think so too, otherwise why would they retreat suddenly?"

Jiang Cheng ignored them: "Perhaps the enemy has some hidden plan. Anyway, we must be careful."

He glanced around the command room: "The enemy is already firing at us, yet our radar hasn’t even detected a shadow of the enemy," he pondered as he spoke: "Our cannon is too outdated."

Go and purchase one. "Ba Lvluo maneuvered the gunboat and replied to Jiang Cheng in his spare time.

It’s not that easy to buy one. Do you think having money means you can just buy it?" Yanran said while looking at the radar and responding to Ba Lv.

Ba Lv was merely speaking off the cuff; she knew that essential materials like gunboats were truly not purchasable even with money.

Even the one they were currently aboard, despite being retired, cost a substantial amount and required connections in various domains, using different excuses such as for dismantling, research, or exhibition, to acquire it.

If you don’t have money, or connections, or even a legitimate reason, you can’t even see one, let alone buy it.

Ba Lv was aware of this; back then, another gang in the Dark World received news that a space team on a certain planet was about to retire a gunboat, and they wanted to acquire it.

However, despite mobilizing a large number of resources, spending about half a year, they not only failed to purchase the gunboat but also ended up clashing with another faction during the competition, leading to large-scale battles and utter chaos later on.

Focus a little, the enemy is right in front of us. "Yanran noticed Ba Lv’s distracted state and reminded her.

Got it, coward. "Ba Lv threw a glance at Ruoran.

No more talking! Jiang Cheng had to pull down his face and said sternly, these two little girls are really speechless; not caring to see the current situation, not serious at all.

Jiang Cheng’s face stiffened, and both Yanran and Ba Lv stopped talking.

Listen to me, let’s change our route. Jiang Cheng said to Ba Lvluo: "Let’s play hide and seek with the enemy first."

Okay. "Trying to make Ba Lv stop talking is really difficult.

The gunboat’s captain looked at the radar: "The enemy was right behind us just a moment ago; where did they go now?"

He commanded his deputy: "Quick, contact the base and ask them to promptly report the enemy gunboat’s location."

Where is the number gunboat? "He asked another watch officer.

They are in front of us, racing toward us at full speed. "The watch officer replied.

The captain said nothing more, he stared at the radar deep in thought.

Dammit! "At the base, the commander stormed in anger: "Who’s the moron commanding the gunboat? I’ll deal with you!"

The communication device was filled with his curses, and the gunboat’s captain listened silently, not yet understanding why the commander was scolding him.

What the hell did you go out for? Did I tell you to lure the enemy in? To draw them over here? "The commander’s voice was full of rage: "You should be fighting the enemy, but why are you running around?"

But, but the enemy is too... the gunboat captain explained softly.

I’ll take you down! You useless waste! "The commander’s roaring voice could almost be heard outside the base.

One Number, One Number, this is Two Number, I can see you now, please report the enemy’s location. "From the communication device came the calling from the second ship.

The deputy glanced at the captain, his superior standing there dejected, not yet recovered from being scolded by the commander.

Two Number, this is the deputy, we have temporarily lost the enemy’s location, repeat, we have lost the enemy’s location.

The deputy came to the captain’s side, whispered to reassure him: "In such situations, no one wants to face the enemy head-on, don’t be too hard on yourself.

The captain looked at the deputy, sighed, and was about to say something.

Enemy! "A soldier exclaimed.

The captain dashed to the radar, and indeed, it was the enemy’s now-retired gunboat, according to the radar, they had successfully broken into the attack range.

Why report now? "The captain yelled angrily, issuing orders: "Full speed ahead!

"Raise shields to maximum!

Two missiles, fire!

Orders were given one after another, and the captain felt uneasy, being breached by the enemy in such a short time.

He shook his head, blaming himself for being too careless.

Hopefully, what he does now is not too late.

The enemy is clever, They approached us stealthily from behind a small asteroid. "Don’t say anymore! "The commander interrupted the soldier’s words, saying these now would be useless.

I’m Two Number, we are approaching you, please tell me the enemy’s location.

The commander puzzledly glanced at the deputy, the deputy also felt odd: "It shouldn’t be, in such close distance, why can’t it be detected?

The captain’s face suddenly changed: "Asteroid! Their traces were blocked by the asteroid!

He was just about to say something when from the communicator came the exclamation from the second gunboat: "Enemy! Immediately followed by a loud noise, the second gunboat transformed into a massive fireball, the enormous shockwave nearly shook the nearby gunboats.

Silence fell inside the gunboat.

Two Number is done for.

A sense of gloom filled the gunboat; in merely a few minutes, their companions who were like family were gone, how could this not make them sad?

The base commander’s voice came in: "You must cling tightly to the enemy and avoid losing their location again. "His voice carried a trace of fatigue: "I have already ordered Number Three and Number Four to support you, I hope you can hold out until reinforcement and then engage the enemy."

The commander rubbed his face, and said to the Shorty sitting beside him: "I still want you to consider my suggestion, even leaving now is not too late."

Shorty kept a sullen face without saying a word.

He hadn’t expected that their soldiers piloting the latest gunboat would be shot down in such a brief spell.

The enemy’s strength indeed keeps breaking his perception.

Shorty clenched his teeth slowly shaking his head, if he had to wander between planets due to fear, even if he had the chance to return to Erma Planet, how could he face people?

The commander saw he had made up his mind, so he said nothing else, turned around to busy himself.

Teacher, am I awesome?" Contrary to the enemy’s atmosphere, Jiang Cheng and his team were filled with joy.

If I hadn’t used my exceptional piloting skills to stick closely behind the asteroid, there’s no way we could have broken through the enemy’s defenses.

Just by listening you can tell it was Ba Lv; the young girl was exceptionally proud.
