As the sky gradually lightened, there was an unusual commotion in the distant sky. Accompanied by the piercing alarm of the Archangel, the entire Control room was filled with a tense and uneasy atmosphere. Edric stared fixedly at the sky ahead, his brow furrowed, and saw two ships breaking through the clouds on the horizon at an astonishing speed, trailing long plumes of smoke. This scene undoubtedly heralded the arrival of danger.
What was even more heart-stopping was that numerous fighter jets emerged from these two ships, spreading out like a swarm of bees and diving towards the surface of Asra Planet with ominous portents and the threat of death. The red alert lights inside the Control room flashed incessantly, resembling warning red stars, constantly reminding of the impending war.
Ariel's voice sounded unusually serious at this moment. Amid the alarm, he loudly declared, "Enemy attack! It's the orcs!" This news hit Edric and Feren like a sledgehammer. The orcs' name was notorious in this galactic domain, known for their cruelty and greed. Any planet targeted by the orcs suffered immense destruction and loss.
Edric took a deep breath. He knew that this battle was unavoidable. He quickly adjusted his mindset, transforming all his anxiety and fear into determination to fight. "Ariel, activate all defense systems immediately and prepare for battle!" Edric's voice echoed throughout the control room, his eyes flashing with a calm and resolute light.
At this moment, Archangel is no longer a mecha forgotten by time, but has become the only hope and defense line on Asra Planet. In the face of the impending invasion of the beasts, Edric and Feren must make unimaginable efforts to protect this planet and every life on it.
In the cockpit at the waist of Archangel, Feren trembled and asked, "They... they, what are they?" He pointed to the huge black shadow breaking through the clouds and rushing towards Asra Planet from the sky, followed by countless small flying objects. For Feren, who had never been involved in the Interstellar War, this scene was full of unknowns and fear.
Edric's voice came through the Communicator with firm and rapid response, "That's the Orcs' spaceship... and fighter jets." There was no hesitation in his tone, as if he had become accustomed to such scenes, perhaps at this moment, all of Edric's anxiety and fear had been replaced by the determination deep within him. "You don't need to know so much right now! You just need to know they are all enemies!"
Feren gripped the control handle in the cockpit, his heart racing, realizing he was in the midst of a real war. The sky before him was no longer the peaceful blue, but filled with the shadows of threat and death. Feren took a deep breath, trying to suppress his panic. He knew that in this battle, he must learn to adapt quickly to become Edric's true partner, to face the impending Orc invasion together.
Ariel's voice urgently reported through the speakers in the control room, "The landing point of the orc ship is confirmed to be near Alaba City. We must depart immediately to prevent further harm to innocent people!" These calm and precise pieces of information were based on Ariel's highly developed sensing system and analytical abilities. However, for Edric, this voice was announcing a new and dangerous beginning.
Edric took a deep breath, trying to calm himself. Until now, all of his "combat experience" had been limited to virtual training within Archangel and simulated war games. While those scenarios were realistic, they were ultimately just simulations, far removed from the life-and-death struggles of reality. Now, with war truly looming ahead, Edric had to admit that he was indeed afraid.
He recalled the glory and past of the House of Heraldry, as well as the significance of everything Ariel had taught him in tactics and courage. Edric knew that as the last heir of the House of Heraldry, he had no retreat, only to face it bravely. Although filled with the unknown and worry, he also understood that this was the moment to protect Asra Planet and the people he had sworn to defend.
Edric firmly grasped the controller and said to Ariel, "Understood, we depart immediately!" Although it was his first time on the battlefield, Edric was prepared to prove with his actions that even in fear and uncertainty, a Heraldry knight could still uphold courage and glory, fighting to protect.
Edric tightly gripped the controller, took a deep breath, and then forcefully pulled it down. In an instant, the engine on Archangel's back erupted with a deafening roar, and the immense jet propulsion pushed the ancient mech forward. With Edric's precise control, Archangel took heavy and resolute steps, each one accompanied by ground-shaking tremors, raising dust and causing trees to sway.
The mech swiftly advanced through the forest, leaving a clear trail in the trees, like a path leading to the battlefield. Though still uneasy, Edric was filled with determination and courage with every breath. The engine of Archangel roared like thunder, not only advancing towards its destination, but also declaring to the world that the last knight of the House of Heraldry was about to fight for protection and honor.
