254: You are ridiculously cautious, you have your own way!

Beyond the target planet, within the star field.

The Apocalypse was actively moving towards the Third Expeditionary Fleet dispatched by Soman at a gentle speed.

The System had previously told Lin Yang to find a suitable reason to make this encounter seem a little more reasonable.

However, in Lin Yang's opinion, under normal circumstances, his encounter with the Third Expeditionary Fleet could not be truly reasonable.

After all, the universe is so vast, and there are no fixed routes; it's almost impossible for two different groups of people to meet in space.

Therefore, Lin Yang was too lazy to bother thinking about what was reasonable and simply charged directly towards the fleet.

Instead of creating a so-called reasonable “coincidence,” it was better to directly state that he had discovered their fleet and was there to silence them.

He killed Solo, and now he found Soman's expeditionary fleet coming to seek revenge for Solo. So, it should be quite reasonable for him to proactively come and eliminate this fleet that wanted to cause him trouble, right?

Although it seemed a bit simple and crude, it was actually more withstandable than forcefully creating a so-called coincidence.

Creating a coincidence, with a little thought, would reveal it to be too deliberate. On the contrary, this direct and crude reason was more in line with the survival laws of the universe.

He was stronger than this Third Expeditionary Fleet, so proactively coming to seek revenge was perfectly reasonable!

Thus, a few minutes later, the Apocalypse met that Third Expeditionary Fleet in space.

The Apocalypse directly positioned itself in front of the opposing fleet, forcing them to stop.

“Who goes there? Why are you intercepting our fleet?!”

The next instant, an angry roar came from within the fleet, transmitted to Lin Yang’s ears through a special device.

“We are the Third Expeditionary Fleet of the Black Mountain Empire. Please move aside quickly, or we will consider it a provocation and launch an attack directly!”

“The Black Mountain Empire’s Third Expeditionary Force? You’re exactly who I’m here to fight!”

Responding to that angry roar was Lin Yang’s cold sneer, along with an ion beam cannon!

A dazzling white light erupted from the Apocalypse, instantly striking the energy shield of the opposing main ship.

“Warning! Warning!”

“Enemy attack! Enemy attack!”

Inside the Third Expeditionary Force’s main ship, piercing alarm bells blared.

The entire fleet instantly entered combat mode. Captain Longduo’s expression was grim as he stared at the Apocalypse, a murderous glint appearing in his eyes: “Blast it to pieces! Daring to intercept and kill our Black Mountain Empire’s expeditionary fleet is courting death!”

“Yes, Captain!”

The first mate immediately relayed the order to the entire fleet.

In an instant, a large number of weapons locked onto the Apocalypse.

Various ion beam energy cannons and battleship cannons fired simultaneously!

Inside the Apocalypse, Lin Yang, seeing this, remained unfazed and directly steered the Apocalypse to descend into the planet’s interior.

He had come prepared and had already acted after firing the first shot.

The Apocalypse’s weapon systems were set to maximum, counterattacking while rapidly rushing into the target planet’s interior.

“Chase it!”

Longduo’s gaze was cold and eerie.

“Captain, the enemy’s origin is unknown, but they purposefully intercepted and attacked us. Now, instead of fleeing into deep space, they’re rushing into the planet below. I fear there might be an ambush inside the planet.”

The first mate, however, cautiously reminded him.

Longduo’s eyes instantly changed. He ordered the fleet to stop the pursuit, glanced at the first mate, then looked at the target planet, and said coldly:

“You’re right to remind me. This spaceship appeared suddenly and attacked us without a word, even knowing we are the Black Mountain Empire’s expeditionary force. It’s clearly an enemy of the Empire. We cannot rashly enter this planet!”

“Yes, Captain. I think we can first surround the entire planet. If there truly is a large ambush inside, we can simply destroy this planet directly,” the first mate suggested again.

Longduo nodded, then waved his hand, and the entire fleet formed into formations, surrounding the entire target planet.

Inside the planet.

Lin Yang was first stunned to find that the enemy didn't directly pursue him but instead arranged weapons around the planet. Then he realized the reason for their actions.

His lone attack on their entire fleet was already abnormal. Coupled with him entering the planet instead of fleeing afar after being counterattacked, it was very easy for the enemy to guess that there might be a trick inside the planet.

“The entire fleet possesses such powerful military might, yet they are still so cautious.” Lin Yang’s eyes flickered.

The enemy was simply overly cautious!

To be honest, this was a bit beyond Lin Yang’s expectations.

He didn’t expect the other party to be so cautious, not even pursuing despite having an absolute advantage on the surface.

“It seems they’re prepared to directly destroy this planet.”

Through the monitoring screen, Lin Yang could see what the Third Expeditionary Fleet was doing outside the planet.

Clearly, the enemy intended to first trap the entire planet to catch him like a turtle in a jar. If that didn't work, they would simply destroy the planet, leaving him nowhere to escape.

“I should have pretended to escape elsewhere, then pretended to be defeated, and finally landed inside the planet, creating the impression that I had lost the ability to continue traveling in space and was forced to land. In that case, I estimate they would have directly pursued me in.”

Lin Yang sighed.

At this moment, he also understood one thing: he was still lacking in combat experience.

He was not as seasoned and cautious as this expeditionary force.

“Host, you’ve already done well enough. After all, you previously lived in a relatively peaceful civilization with almost no combat experience. Being able to recognize your shortcomings now is already a great step forward and a valuable gain.”

The System, on the contrary, offered comfort.

Lin Yang took a deep breath. Experience indeed needed to be accumulated, but now was not the time for post-mortem analysis.

He had to get the enemy inside the planet!

Otherwise, his previous arrangements would be in vain.

“Host, given the current situation, it’s almost impossible to lure them all into the planet.”

The System provided its analysis.

“As long as half can come in, the remaining firepower on the Apocalypse can handle the rest.”

Lin Yang also knew that once the enemy suspected a trick inside the planet, they wouldn't all enter.

So he changed his strategy: as long as half of the enemy’s fleet could be drawn in, it would be enough!

The rest would be left to the Apocalypse and Lin Mu!

Yes, that’s right.

After learning that Lin Mu was a special growth-type combat Robot, Lin Yang had gotten Lin Mu a set of combat mecha.

As a Robot, Lin Mu didn't need to worry about breathing in outer space; as long as he had suitable equipment, he could fight!

The Apocalypse would attract most of the firepower to cover Lin Mu, and dealing with the remaining half of the fleet wouldn't be a big problem.

Because his weapons were all peak-tech weapons!

And the peak weapons carried by this expeditionary force seemed somewhat insufficient compared to the large number of peak weapons he had purchased.

The advantage in weaponry still gave Lin Yang the confidence to annihilate this expeditionary force!

“Then what method does the Host plan to use to lure the enemy into the planet’s interior?”

Trying to get the enemy to enter when they already knew there was a trick inside the planet was extraordinarily difficult.

Lin Yang smiled mysteriously: “I have my ways!”
