Marvelous Mecha

Chapter 558 Terrifying Opponent_1


Damn sneaky bastard, heh heh, the game is thrilling when played like this. It's too much fun. As a super red cloak Reaper pilot, Ferret is going to make his opponent realize not everyone can easily spring a surprise attack.

With a series of quick high-frequency motions, Reaper emerges from the void, approaching Fate's Gemini, brandishing a light sword mercilessly at Earth Dragon without a word. He wants his opponent to pay a bloody price, employing the lightning-fast leap forward strategy of the military's rank 2 tactics, not leaving his opponent even a chance for regret.

"Be careful, Ferret is known for his fast-attack civilization," Amelia warned the Haier Brothers timely.

Heard it, but couldn't afford to respond, the younger Haier instead accelerated his mecha to face the enemy head on, directly clashing with Ferret's attack using his beast claw...

Ferret wasn't aware he was up against another elite Red Cloak. The moment their attacks made contact, sparks flew in the void, and both were forced backward. The younger Haier brother felt a rush of blood; the gravity he had just endured was as high as 15 times.

But Ferret wasn't feeling much better. Even though he withstood gravity acceleration as high as 17 times, due to the mass of his mecha, his situation wasn't much better than the former's. Stunned, he beheld the Sky God launching an attack, one might say that Earth Dragon purposely locked Ferret in place, as forming a 2v1 situation could be potentially dangerous even for an ace.

Ferret's pupils expanded and contracted rapidly; the surprise attack was way too tricky. Even if he could stop it, there was a beast-shaped mecha ready to strike any moment. In a blink, the Reaper decided to turn around and establish a safe distance, but the Earth Dragon had already blocked his path.

How is it possible? How could his opponent predict his movements in the fragment of a second? That is a microscopic insight that only the likes of Sword Dragon, Blue Rain, and Vladimir can achieve.

In fact, the fear-inspiring part of the Haier Brothers comes from just this. Individually, they may not have the upper hand against any elite Red Cloak, but together, they function as a perfect team. The collective strength of the two adds up to be more than the sum of their individual powers. Even if Earth Dragon can't predict Reaper's moves, it doesn't mean his observant older brother standing behind him can't. Once caught in a pincer attack by the two brothers, it's game over.

In this life-and-death situation, Ferret gave up all reservations, his eyes turned blood-red with the light sword, and he pulled off a 360-degree counterattack. If his opponent met him head-on, they'd also suffer corresponding damage, but if they weren't on the same straight line, it signaled that his gambit had failed. It's a gamble where Ferret risks his life, staking it as a bargaining chip.

The Haier Brothers didn't expect him to go all-out, hastily maneuvering their mecha to dodge the blow...

Ferret's gamble paid off; seizing the opportunity, he managed to break free from their encirclement. Although he looked ragged, he still maintained his smile, a vicious one...

If he guessed correctly, his opponents must be the rumored Fate's Gemini, right? Heh heh, but they are merely military school graduates at best. If they had more battlefield experience, he'd have found it difficult to escape. However, having said that, standing against both of them, his chances of winning were indeed low. He gave the Haier brothers a thumbs-down gesture before turning around to fly away.

With their ace champion retreating, what remained of the frontline soldiers of Bergheide dispersed like scared birds.

The younger Haier grumbled, "Are we just going to let him get away like this?"

"It's futile. Ferret's civilization excels in quick attacks; his mecha model should be faster than ours. A deep pursuit might lead us straight into an Imperial ambush." Although they were slightly agitated, this was undoubtedly the right decision.

Fate's Gemini indeed proved to be a counter to Bergheide's elite Red Cloak. As for the enemy retreating; there's no need for our side to persist. The sound of Heavenly Communication chimed in, both brothers received the order to return to the Normandy fleet at the same time. Helpless and reluctant, they had no choice but to comply.

At this time, the five main fleets had surrounded the space fortress. Even though the fortress had the firepower of a star, their death ray wasn't enough to destroy a destroyer or larger vessel protected by a 100% charged light shield. With the third fleet announcing the good news of the Empire's withdrawal from C-coordinate, the other four fleets also accelerated their offensive.

However, the battle at A-coordinate was the toughest. With Bergheide's super ace, Sword Dragon, holding the fort and elite Red Cloak Sachi providing backup - even the combined forces of Hugo, Ophelia, Dovir, and Angelina failed to gain a significant advantage. Worse still, Dovir, lacking practical combat experience, found himself in danger several times. Had it not been for Hugo's tier-2 acceleration aiding him, Dovir might already have been doomed.

Looking at the current situation, Sword Dragon was essentially fighting three at once. Although he was simultaneously facing Hugo, Dovir, and Angelina, he didn't seem to be overwhelmed. Anyone who wasn't surprised by Sword Dragon's abilities is bluffing. Sword Dragon is a rightful world-class ace; such a frightful adversary who could hold his own against three opponents… anyone who encounters him should turn and flee.

Of course, there are also pilots who can be ranked alongside Sword Dragon, such as Vladmir from Hell's Gate, the Mecha Warrior King of Saudi, and Blue Rain of the Diya Alliance, but their rankings are always below that of Sword Dragon.

In the present world, the only uncertain factor, widely known, is the elusive Revenge Shadow Rider, but Revenge Shadow Rider simply can't be compared, since he has only defeated Silver Mary and prefers online combat. The real battlefield is different. Not only does it test a pilot's mental quality and control of the mecha, but there's also some divergence.

The saying goes, "If you can't break through defenses for a long time, you must suffer a backlash." Angelina, being under Greedy Wolf's command, naturally considered the Abyss. She understood what Sword Dragon's power meant; he was certainly a certified reaper on the battlefield. In this era of mass-produced sniper rifles, snipers were a major weapon.

If Mu Tou was present, it wouldn't have come to this, damn Sky Shadow. Every time she thought of this, Angelina couldn't help but clench her teeth secretly, wondering which idiot authorized this move.

In the center of the battlefield, Sword Dragon was maintaining a hand speed of 700 cards, a constant force weighing the gravity to almost 20 times. Any of the three who came into contact with him would feel an irresistible heavy oppression. Although Sword Dragon's energy consumption was much higher than his opponents', his foundation as a top warrior was also much stronger.

The atmosphere in the Federation Fleet's Command Room was tense. For a moment, all the military advisers forgot the local simulation and focused their attention on the light screen. Angela was ready to give the order to retreat at any moment. She couldn't let anything happen to the super warriors.

Because, in this confrontation, ordinary soldiers of both sides simply couldn't help. It wasn't just adding confusion or chaos, there's also the risk of accidentally hitting one's own people, since ordinary soldiers lacked precision targeting.

However, at the same time when the Federation was anxious, Branny's heart was also hanging by a thread. She could not afford any slip-ups from Sword Dragon either. Although she appeared calm on the surface, anyone who knew her well would understand that seeing a serious expression on Branny's face was rare. In fact, if it wasn't for the simultaneous drop of the Federation's five fleets, she wouldn't have risked sending Sword Dragon.
