Chapter 804: Chapter 577: Sorry, I’m Late (Part 1)
Insult!
It was a complete insult from spirit to body.
The eyes of the two Twilight Mechanical Masters were blood-red, and at this moment their viewpoints reached a surprisingly unanimous agreement.
“Damn Federation, coordinated assault—”
“Twilight Shadow Strike!”
The engines behind the two Twilight Mechas suddenly boosted, and under the control of the Mechanical Masters, the Magnetic Vibration Blades in their hands were raised high, then they quickly began to sidestep in a zigzag pattern, two azure streamers appearing on the battlefield.
Like two charging leopards attacking the same target.
In the cockpit, Mu Fan’s face remained calm as still water, and his only action was to throw the Heavy Sword to his side simultaneously as the opponent initiated.
Then he took a step forward, gravel rising like a dragon.
The entire Mecha truly resembled an ancient knight charging from a high ground.
This scene, full of violent beauty, provided an unparalleled visual shock to the soldiers in the distance and the remaining Stinger Mecha.
The momentum of the two cross-attacking Twilights was completely suppressed by this one Mecha.
“Closer, closer.”
“Take him down!”
“Long live the Empire!”
For this team, these standing firm Mechas were their last pillar of morale.
They yearned to see their Mechas slice the opponent into pieces, they craved victory, and they would advance under the glory of the Empire!
Finally, the two crisscrossing advancing Twilights were about to collide with the formidable Gun Knight.
People widened their eyes…
A lightning-like arc trajectory suddenly weaved out from the intersecting figures.
Time froze at this moment, the Gun Knight’s left hand held the sword blade, the body maintained a forward charging pose, but the right foot was diagonally stretched forward to hold the body steady.
The two Twilight, maintaining their slashing poses, were like a frozen photo, the cheers on the battlefield continued, but over time, the cheers gradually faded away.
The Stinger Mecha’s master trembled all over, his vision far exceeded others, so he clearly saw the huge sword mark that slashed diagonally from the waist to the rear engine!
“What level of…Mechanical Master is this.”
Infinite fear filled his heart, now he didn’t even have the courage to shoot at the Mecha.
Mu Fan’s eyes scanned the control panel screen, Energy remaining 74%.
Then he glanced at the distant Mecha, completely ignoring it, and stepped forward.
Energy would not be wasted on such meaningless battles.
Killing these four Mechas was just because they…
Blocked the way.
The right hand flipped the Great Sword back onto the back, but just this simple action scared the distant Empire soldiers back a step in unison.
They were truly afraid.
Eyes locked on the left forward direction, beyond the three hills was the Rocky Canyon.
So far, the red dot on the map representing Major Jerome was struggling towards the canyon, but from beginning to end, not a single call for help was heard from this Major.
Both sides tacitly remained silent.
As Major Jerome was engaged in a bitter battle, the only remaining Stinger Mecha on the eastern battlefield watched the Gun Knight speed past, feeling fortunate to have escaped a disaster.
Only when the soldiers’ request sounded did he react, immediately gathering his emotions, and spoke in a sorrowful tone on the captain’s channel: “Report, sir, the Mecha squad was devastated by the enemy, they all perished in battle. Requesting support, requesting support!”
“Formidable enemy is advancing towards the west.”
…
“A powerful Federation Mecha has appeared!”
…
“Federation’s hidden troops have been deployed, our Mecha squad was annihilated, soldiers barely survived.”
The message spread and changed in tone the more it circulated, becoming increasingly exaggerated, eventually turning into a tale of a superior Federation military force appearing and preparing to breakthrough westwards.
Suddenly, personnel from other units began to feel tense.
“Seventh Mecha Squad encountered a lone Mecha…three Mechas were destroyed, two heavily damaged.”
During the second intelligence report, Empire soldiers in the communications channel were in an uproar.
The information was confirmed again, a lone Mecha could defeat a Mecha squad!
The Federation really played dumb these days.
Listening to the discussions that suddenly became lively, and feeling the tense atmosphere in the air, the surviving Stinger Mechanical Master from Mu Fan’s first battle felt as though he had bitten on bitter Huanglian, his mouth turned bitter but dared not speak.
He almost believed that this Mecha was a lone Mecha.
But the truth was, it was just this goddamn one Mecha!
He feared the military court, fearing to bear the dire consequences of these rumors.
“Target continues advancing westward.”
“Target lost, no trace of the main force, Federation troop shadows disappeared.”
“All squads keep a close watch on surrounding movements, if Federation forces are found, do not engage head-on…”
“Accelerate encirclement and annihilation of those two Federation Mechas on the western battlefield.”
Hearing this, that Stinger Mechanical Master almost cried.
The situation grew bigger and bigger, he felt he had done something extremely foolish.
However, what these soldiers, including the commanders of the Empire army, did not expect was that Mu Fan heard all their words clearly.
The Gun Knight, which had already disappeared from the Empire’s vision, if viewed from a high altitude, was just outside the Empire’s reconnaissance range.
Like a ghost walking on the edge of a tightrope.
Taking the fastest route, attracting the opponent’s attention, and then disappearing from their vision, this was Mu Fan’s plan from the start.
Currently, Energy at 60% remaining, enough for the upcoming fight for Mu Fan.
Gazing at the screen ahead, the outline of Demonstration Canyon was faintly visible in the distance.
On the radar display, the red dots representing Jerome and others still had not extinguished, but were steadily advancing towards the canyon.
And now Jerome was even closer to the canyon than he was.
The agreed place is coming soon.
…
On the western battlefield, a few Federation soldiers clad in Exoskeleton Armor were trying desperately on the rugged mountain path, behind them were two Mechas emanating thick, rolling smoke.
The appearance of the two Gun Knights was already severely damaged, from any angle one could see the severe fracture scars on those two Mechas.
It could be said that just seeing these two Mechas still standing was a miracle.
In one of the cockpits, Jerome, eyes red, looked at the alarm-triggered screen in front of him.
“Warning, cabin pressurization device damaged.”
“Warning, sealing structure damaged, gas cannot circulate normally.”
“Severe Warning, Armor damage level 65%.”
The piercing alarm continued to be heard, but now Jerome had no mind to care, behind him were 9 comrades retreating.
In front of him were the approaching Gardot Empire Military Mechas.
Looking at the Rocky Canyon location not far behind, Jerome gave a wry smile.
He had tried his best, he never gave up.
“Major, I can’t hold on much longer, let me cover the retreat.” A weak yet determined voice came through the channel from Teresa.
His Mecha Armor was almost completely battered, being able to hold out till now was a miracle for him.
“Screw you, if anyone’s covering, it’ll be me! I now order you to crawl to the Rocky Canyon, I’ll die before you!” With that, Jerome’s Mecha made a dash in front of Teresa’s Mecha.
