Having lost a limb, Hugo had to maintain his balance using the propulsion system, and quickly leap forward to charge. Any small mistake might rob him of the chance to get back up.
Remember, the principles of rapid leap involve an instant power explosion. Using powerful jets to propel the mecha afar at the moment of engine start-up is not unlike flatulence; it can cause severe damage to the body. With the advancements of technology, it wasn't until several hundred years ago that this kind of operation was widely practised worldwide. It also puts extreme demands on the pilot's micro operations.
But Hugo never gave up. He achieved continuous rapid leaps with a single leg as the fulcrum. At this crucial moment, his fighting spirit was ignited. His mecha, engulfed in billows of black smoke, appeared like a demon from hell, yet it was a staunch defender of the people, fighting for honor!
Boom…
Under the action of the propulsion system, Gun Rider moves in an arc along the ground, tearing through forests and fields, while also kicking up dust and debris. The only point of contact with the ground, supporting all the weight, constantly sparks. The cracking noise produced by the body was discordant.
Whizz... Hugo engages X3 overdrive and goes in for the kill. Now in DPG Super Soldier mode, the guns in the center of the battlefield continuously fire lasers. One explosion after another echoes throughout the battlefield...
Hugo's hit rate was as high as 90%. Fierce gunfire swallowed the Fire Fighter mechas in an instant. Fire Fighters would then rush out of the flames and attack Hugo with fierce moves.
Despite the lack of energy, Hugo's operating speed was still breaking its own records at an unprecedented pace; 300, 350, 400.... The mecha's propulsion was in a continuous state of eruption: propulsion displacement, propulsion steering, and propulsion evasion.
In a blink of an eye, several more Fire Fighters fell in the smoke, while the Gun Rider had several more wounds. The shoulder-mounted main cannon was completely scrapped, but the price paid was not enough to change the current situation.
Damn the opponent's tenacity - a feeling of respect swelled in the heart of the Wolf, but he wouldn't hold back. On the contrary, giving it his all was the best way to show respect for Hugo. "Brothers, don't hold back. Let's finish him in one go."
For a moment, the Fire Fighters charged towards Hugo at an extremely fast pace, as if they had gone mad.
The ammunition for both sides was still being consumed at a frantic pace. At this point, all the ammo for Gun Rider's electromagnetic cannon had been depleted; its main cannon reduced to nothing more than decoration. Only the secondary laser cannon remained for a back-and-forth battle.
Inside the cockpit, Hugo could feel shockwaves coming from all directions, the blood seeping from his hands due to extreme operations, and the constant alarms going off from the C device. 'Fire in the engine, drive system damaged, exterior device severely impacted.'
But, Hugo still had no thoughts of giving up. His soul was on fire, his will roaring. Even if it took every last ounce of energy, he would give the bullets to the enemy and not himself. This was the unyielding will of a battlefield veteran!
"Ha!" Gun Rider flings the electromagnetic cannon and blows back the Fire Fighter that was charging at the front before jumping for another rapid leap.
The Fire Fighters Brigade had also lost their senses by this point. Led by a crazed Wolf, they threw away their main cannons which had exhausted their ammo, and engaged Hugo in a close-quarters melee.
But not every Fire Fighter had depleted their main cannon. During the charge, a black dot suddenly appeared on the screen - a 130mm weapon. At such a speed, it was impossible to dodge during a rapid leap. Was this the end for Hugo?
It wasn't. Hugo also fired a round from his 25-caliber turret gun. While it wasn't possible to intercept, it could slightly change its course…
With the sound of a whooshing shell, the round flew past… Completely stunned by Hugo's performance, it was a single target judgment interception only a Revenge Shadow Rider could make — he exploded to a hand speed of 617 at that very moment.
He clashed with the Fire Fighters Brigade in an instance, settling the difference in melee combat power. At this moment, Hugo fought like he was in an uninhabited territory. His Silver Spear swung, ruining all of the Fire Fighter mechas. This was the true gap between a super soldier and an ordinary one.
But Hugo was extremely tired. His body was heavy, like it was filled with lead. His movements were no longer sharp as before, increasingly slow and moderate, up until when there were only two Fire Fighters left he was accurately shot in the shoulder by Wolf and his arm flew off in response….
The Gun Rider lost a joint on the same side as the missing limb. The center of gravity was absolutely imbalanced and the mecha fell… Those who watched were at a loss. Why would such a persistent soldier end his battle this way? Without the missing limb, it is impossible to wield the lance. With the odds stacked against him, and still trying to stand up, a sense of inexplicable pain welled up within everyone's hearts.
Wolf shook his head reluctantly. It was fortunate to have the opportunity to fight against such a professional soldier in his life - something space pirates could never experience. That feeling was like a smooth and rich shot of liquor! Suddenly, he understood why the space pirates could never win against the military. It was also unfortunate that Hugo, who was capable of defeating him, lost due to physical exhaustion. It was over. With that, he charged forward, aiming his Titanium Alloy lance at his opponent.
Right now, Hugo really wanted to rest. But what made him persist until now? He lacked the energy to think about these things — but he was a super soldier. How could he give up so easily? Thinking about his ancestors who died in battle, he will continue to fight with a strong will. He won't escape!
All of a sudden! Hugo's eyes cleared up. He fiercely gripped the Titanium Alloy spear. There was a clang… before the Silver Lance could reach him, it had already pierced straight through Wolf's cockpit, followed by an explosion with flickering embers. Wolf had been defeated.
At this time, he was like an indomitable spirit, controlling the mecha with the little consciousness he had left and pulling out several afterimages, like a ball of scorching flames… "Accept a soldier's ultimate challenge, Fire Fighters Brigade ." Hugo's voice was calm, but it seemed to contain infinite power!
Boom! Gun Rider made a Thomas reverse sweep and barely managed to keep his footing. However, the roaring engine failed to keep its balance. There was a rapid leap forward, and the mecha with its afterimages was like a bolt in the sky piercing straight towards the enemy…
Hugo had an unstoppable momentum. Even Revenge Shadow Rider would avoid his edge at this moment. Gun Rider had a showdown with the Fire Fighters with the determination of having nothing to lose. With a bang, an explosion followed. The shock wave crazily spread from the center of the explosion, the mushroom cloud soared into the sky and the dust spread far away…
For victory, and for honor. Hugo launched a final charge, burning up the last bits of life at the cost of being torn apart. Both sides perished together.
Even the generals present stood up in shock. Super Soldier Hugo, they would not forget his name. What made this indomitable soldier go this far? A soldier's tenacity? The responsibility of a mission? Or the patriotic fervor to defend one's country? — Such an unyielding soldier deserved the highest praise.
The moment the battle ended, the spot blew up!
