"Bring your boss away before it is too late. Shaun, Queenie, Alex, and I will stay here to stop them until everyone is gone. Move quickly before it was too late." Satella said. That was the last reply they got from her before the Luna Device was taken off and get destroyed.
From the look of it, they're going to abandon the Wind Base.
And as Zhang Qin Feng was going to struggle, Valerian came out from the cabin and hugged him. The twins also appeared and pulled him down from getting away. It was a difficult decision for them to abandon this base they put effort into building.
But if they don't leave right now, it would be a waste to Satella and the other's effort to keep their enemy from breaking through.
Her will to stay and fight can be felt from the moment she destroyed the Luna Device on her. Collectively, Shaun, Alex, Queenie wrecked their Luna Device as well. This was done to keep the attacker from tracking where Zhang Qin Feng was.
It was evident that the technological achievement their enemy hold was far more outstanding than their own.
(Vroom... Vroom...)
The charging sound came back once again after the situation quieted down. But this time, it took evidently longer to charge the destructive weapon.
And when the charging sound stopped making noise, the second shot was fired towards the Turbine Town center. An explosion comparable to a mini-nuke detonated right in the middle of the town, turning all the buildings surrounding the 1km perimeter into worthless debris.
With a destructive force on this scale, perhaps only the shelter could survive through this.
After the light from the beam diminished, Satella's forces immediately retaliated. The turrets from the ten Assailant-Class Patrol Ships also fired nonstop at where the beam came from.
But to their surprise, their opponent's firepower and defensive power are better than anyone could imagine. They couldn't even put a dent in their opponents. Against these people with their advanced technology, the weapon Wind base had is akin to toys.
Once again, the weapon is charging again as the real culprit behind this beam weapon comes into view.
It was a four-legged walker with an enormous two-pronged cannon above the controller's cabin. The gun it had was the most eye-catching point of this four-legged walker.
As it began to charge the third shot, Zhang Qin Feng could see how the electrical current flowed through the gun barrel and created a stasis field around it.
One light after another lits on the inner side of the three-meter gun barrel until the entire weapon flashed with brilliant light.
(PEW!!!)
Aiming towards the port, Zhang Qin Feng witnesses how the beam obliterates everything in its path as the beam sliced through one Assailant-Class ship after another.
The beam lasted until seven ships were destroyed. The three remaining vessels were considered lucky because the gun had lost all its power after firing the beam for about four seconds.
"We've arrived! Quickly leave the vehicle and get on board!" Victor, the vehicle driver, said while he and Marvin got out from the driving cabin. They were rushing to move Zhang Qin Feng onboard into a hidden vessel deep inside a cavern.
Soon, the fourth shot arrived. The beam from the four-legged beast mowed down the three remaining vessels before it finally stopped firing. The sound from retaliation also slowly toned down until only an occasional gunshot was heard.
This situation lasted for close to an hour.
With Satella, Shaun, Alex, and Queenie's Luna Device broken, Zhang Qin Feng had no other choice but to hope they'd survive through this.
Soon, Zhang Qin Feng's Luna Device revealed many reading signatures running towards their location. It was evident that their hiding spot had been discovered by the attackers.
"They found us. We have to go right now." Victor said as he sat on the captain's seat. Using all the knowledge he had over this vessel they found and secretly continued to build, Victor commanded the operators to start up this ship's overall function.
"BAM!"
The natural rock formation that kept this ship hidden were demolished as the vessel charged out from its shipyard. Perhaps, not even the opponent could guess that Wind Base still had a secret weapon with them, albeit an incomplete one.
As the gun from the four-legged walker was on cooldown, it couldn't be charged in such a short time without replacing the power pack. This gave Zhang Qin Feng a slight hope of escaping from the attackers.
The close to 500m long vessel immediately picked up its speed when it got into deeper water. It seems that this ship hides more secrets than just its enormous size because the cruising speed was twice the speed of a basic Jiaolong-01.

(PEW!)
The attacker's last-ditch effort made them fire the beam weapon towards the vessel, but they missed it by a little. They could only look at Zhang Qin Feng, and the others pulled their distance away as they got further out to the sea.
"Second Commander... Should we contact the Third Commander to give chase?" one of the officers said as he got in touch with the driver seated inside the four-legged walker.
"No... This prey is mine. Why would I give the right to control the Vermilion Empress to someone else?" the leader of this attacking team said. He looked happy the moment he saw the 500m long vessel sailed out of its shipyard.
'Haha... I am getting more and more interested in this guy... From where he got so many resources to continue constructing the Vermilion Empress?' it seems that the vessel was the reason these people came here. But that still didn't answer how he could know about this hidden vessel.
...
...
...
Inside the Vermilion Empress.
"Start speaking. What happened while I wasn't around? And what's the story with this colossal vessel? It is even more significant than the Jiaolong we've made." Zhang Qin Feng asked.
"Boss... Many things changed a month ago. Those people that attacked us said that they came from the west of Strand Metropolis. As for their reason, it's likely to get their hand on this vessel." Victor said.
[Toot...]
[After checking with all available data from the archive, this vessel matched the description of the Vermilion Empress' record]
