With the existence of a Battle Mecha in the Auden Empire, Argo's casualties soared. It had only been half a month since the war started, and the forward command headquarters had no choice but to move to the center of the continent. The large number of casualties caused the excited morale of the troops to become dull and powerless. In the face of death, sometimes, it was not frightening. The truly terrifying thing was that even though he knew he would die, he didn't know if he would die in the next second. A small portion of the soldiers had even chosen to commit suicide the moment they saw the mecha appear.
In the dense forest.
A figure that was almost completely one with the surrounding green was lurking between the branches. A faint red microwave energy that was invisible to the naked eye spread out in all directions from him as the center. After countless sacrifices, the defenders finally realized that the naked eye would be detected by some sort of mech device. Thus, the method of directly sending the surrounding environment and dynamics directly into the human brain through microwave has become a necessary means for every scout.
There was a faint sound of footsteps in the woods, and the sound of metal scraping against metal. The figure hid himself even more in the leaves. After confirming that he had not missed anything, he sent the microwave towards the sound of footsteps and immediately received the message.
An enormous figure suddenly appeared within the empty forest.
Its body was made entirely out of the Atel alloy used in the creation of the starship, and it displayed an incomparably strong sense of strength. Two pairs of eyes that glowed with a faint red light scanned the surroundings. On its right hand, a two meter long ion-blade was steadily flowing. It was like ripples in the water, spreading to the surrounding air.
This was the weapon used by the Odin Empire to defeat the Saamen Empire, the first generation Battle Mecha that had massacred millions of soldiers! After abandoning more than half of its defenses, it had equipped itself with a linear killing weapon and ion blade of light. Coupled with its streamlined body, it was completely covered in stealth and radar absorbing coatings. It was this weapon that cost less than a million star dollar to build, and it did something that no weapon in history had ever done before.
This was a solitary [Brilliant Prayer]. Or an investigator on a separate mission. The Auden Empire believed in the power of this new weapon.
However, such a thought also pervaded the minds of the pilots, turning them into their most fatal weakness. It was this thought that caused the pilot of the mech to discover the existence of the target. He did not open his energy shield or use his linear killing weapon, but instead brandished the sharp blade in his hand and ruthlessly stabbed at the figure that fell from the sky.
Rennes looked at the incoming blade attack and revealed an evil smile. The cumbersome attack, without exception, missed. By the time the pilot realized the enemy was in front of him, it was too late. In Rennes' right hand, two deep blue ion-blade beams pierced through the air, completely ignoring the 30 cm metal armor, directly piercing through the pilot's chest! Ion weapons that vibrated violently at every moment tore the pilot's frail body into a pool of blood the moment they came into contact with it.
"How much did you put in?"
Higgs's question came through the headset.
"2%."
Rennes dispersed his light blades and watched this 7.8m giant creature appear out of thin air with a complicated look on his face. He then powerlessly knelt on the ground.
"Very good. Very good. In this way, we have our first captured organism. Ryan, try to get it back. "
Higgs knew that his request was unreasonable, but he also understood the incomparable importance of this Battle Mecha.
"I understand. But I can't go back yet. "
Through the dense forest and through the helmet, Rennes saw a temporary camp of the Odin Empire that was a thousand meters away. His microwaves clearly told him that in the center of the camp, there were 12 [Brilliant Prayers]. More than half of the surrounding soldiers were patrolling and standing guard outside the camp, while the central area was not densely guarded. Perhaps the contempt they had for the Seaman Empire was deep in the hearts of every single soldier.
If he could destroy these mechs.
As soon as this thought appeared, it immediately spread like wildfire in Rennes' mind. He took a deep breath and pulled out the specially designed and assembled four meter long giant sniper rifle from Doctor Mo's back! With this terrifying weapon in hand, Rennes began moving towards the edge of the forest at high speed. The power from his external skeleton gave him a speed akin to that of a wild beast, turning him into a shadow in the forest. Within a few seconds, he crossed a distance of nearly a kilometer, stopping the moment he entered the danger zone. From extreme movement to extreme tranquility, he did not even have a single breath to breathe as he lay on the edge of the cleared area. It was a lethal weapon, easily ejected from the grass.
What did he want?
Higgs looked uneasily at the image on the satellite screen.
"This kid wants to play big."
The doctor walked up to Higgs and said with a gloating smile, "Those iron lumps are going to be very unlucky."
" It's time for these iron lumps to suffer. "
Higgs suppressed the unease in his heart and smiled.
"You seem to be worried?" The doctor looked at Higgs with dissatisfaction. "Are you worried about my invention?"
Higgs shook his head. "Just a kind of uneasiness."
Ryan locked the scope onto a stationary mech a thousand meters away. After hesitating for a few seconds, he switched the energy slots on the sniper rifle and loaded a solid shot. With the development of science and technology, ordinary bullets had lost their destructive power from centuries ago, and the energy bullets had become the main theme of the war. In the face of the increasingly powerful energy shields, the physical bullets were already rendered powerless. In contrast, it would be better to save the ammunition and use it to make stronger weapons. The few remaining physical bullets, through various technological means, had become increasingly powerful, to the point where they had even reached an extreme. The fact that he could destroy the planet with a single shot was no longer an illusion. It was one of the Doctor's favorite inventions, now that Ryan had fifteen centimeters of blunt bullet in his hand. By changing the magnetic field in an instant to achieve extreme compression, everything within a hundred meters could be compressed into a mass the size of a fingernail. This was the best weapon for dealing with mechs. Ignoring the armor's hardness, it was able to destroy these 12 mechs in an instant.
"Then, let's begin."
The ammunition was filled into the chamber and pushed up manually. Rennes locked onto a mech in the center of the formation and took a deep breath.
"God, please don't stay away from me.
You are all my strength. Please help me.
God, I trust you.
Please don't throw me away, don't let my enemies play a hymn on me
The Lord is my power, He taught me war
He taught me to fight with my fingers
"AHH!" My God and the Fortress, My Tower and the Deliverer,
My shield, my support. "
In his field of vision, a tiny reflection pricked Rennes' pupils. His heart was slightly cold, but he still pulled the trigger ?
"Amen!"
A barely audible sound could be heard and at the same time as the sound of gunfire, a small spark exploded in the middle of the formation of mechs a kilometer away. In the midst of several tiny bolts of black lightning, all the mechs were ruthlessly crushed into a hard lump by an invisible giant hand! The pilot of the mech had fused with the metal and not a trace of blood could be seen.
However, the successful Rennes did not show any signs of joy. At the moment of the gunshot, his helmet gave off an ear-piercing alarm. It was almost like a reflective musical instrument, and with the support of the armor on its body, it instantly bounced back dozens of meters. Even so, he was still forced back dozens of steps by the shockwave of the explosion. Swallowing the blood in his throat, Ryan forced himself to look up. But when he looked up, there was nothing there.
Flee!
The instinct to escape from life and death countless times issued a sharp warning sound. Without the slightest hesitation, Rennes gave his body to his instincts. The moment Rennes jumped up, the giant tree behind him was cut into two by an invisible force. The smooth as a mirror section made Rennes break out in a cold sweat. It was the sharpness of the ion-blade.
Then the worst had happened. The twelve mechs were not the only ones surrounding them. There were also hidden enemies. He wasn't the only hunter in the darkness!
The sound of the whistle made Rennes' hands and feet turn cold. Light Prayer], there was more than one!
