136's Newborn Body
Kano was so angry at the result that he almost laughed. He could see the firepower on the ground from his air command post—it was impossible for the firepower of a battle involving thousands of people.
It's clear that the troops under Li Aoz's command have such high tactical skills and Combat Power that the soldiers on the front lines can't win, which is why they're clamoring for reinforcements.
This can happen to any unit: when faced with a powerful enemy, they feel intimidated and dare not advance into close combat without fire support, so they deliberately exaggerate the enemy's strength.
Fortunately, Kano was commanding the Heavenly Ring Soldiers.
The Heavenly Ring Soldiers have faced more than once the resurrected "fallen enemies" charging at them again with explosives. They coldly blow up the enemy while reporting everything they see through the flying debris to headquarters.
Kano was a rational commander. Although he was furious about the ambush organized by Li Aoz, he quickly calmed down. He listened to the opinions of the operations analysis department and carefully watched the videos of the 'dead soldiers' that kept appearing. After that, he accepted the fact with little difficulty. "Li Aoz has an undead army with strong will and high combat skills. There are only 800 of them, but they will not die immediately after being killed. As long as they rest for a while and receive treatment, they can go back to the front to fight."
The good news is that the undead army is small in number, although frontline soldiers say these undead are even more insane than they are.
The bad news is that these undead are top-notch combatants. They react extremely quickly and communicate and command internally without any pressure. Even though the Sky Ring's electronic warfare units are targeting them desperately, at most they can only cause some of their prosthetic bodies to malfunction.
Many of them, despite not having implanted prosthetics, possessed marksmanship as absurd as if they were using auto-aiming. Among them were dozens who could lock onto the head with every shot, moving like eels through confined spaces. Alpha Rank warriors were absolutely superior to them in one-on-one combat, but they couldn't catch up with these undead at all.
The Undead each possess at least two Aoneng, making their reconnaissance and damage capabilities far greater than the Beast Tide threat posed by the Greening Base.
Most importantly, as more and more Heavenly Ring Warrior die, these undead get better and better equipment.
Initially, the Undead were armed with homemade weapons from Outland, which were of poor accuracy and firepower. However, after replacing their equipment with those of the fallen Heavenly Ring Warrior, the Undead's firepower was upgraded, their mortality rate was lower, and they became increasingly difficult to deal with.
The Heavenly Ring Warrior are fearless in the face of death, but they are truly capable of dying. Those who are immortal, however, treat their lives as a game to be played with!
"Commander, this can't go on forever."
The adjutant quickly reminded them, "We can't let the samurai waste their lives in a place like this anymore. Sunny Garden has become a meat grinder."
"I see."
Kano nodded. "Deploy one Mobile Armor, VH-09, that'll do. Let them go indoors and finish the battle—no, two. Kill one Gamma-rank, then free up the Combat Power of another Mobile Armor."
Killing prisoners of war was a last resort. While high-ranking prisoners of war could certainly make him a highly decorated and valiant general, keeping them around would only have negative consequences for the internal situation.
We can only hope that these young men can end the battle as soon as possible and drive away the undead.
The real target of this trip is still Li Aoz.
"Learn."
Inside the vehicle holding the prisoners at the rear, two doctors were monitoring the physiological condition of Gamma-rank [Biochemist] prisoner. Upon receiving the order, they did not hesitate to throw the prisoner they had just been caring for into the incinerator.
boom------
The ashes were expelled from the vehicle and scattered on the ground. Upon seeing this, the Mobile Armor crew guarding the scene immediately understood what was happening.
"Let's go." The VH-10's commander, Shibuki Shingo, glanced at the ashes on the ground. "It's our turn."
"Learn."
As an elite crew comprised entirely of Beta-rank soldiers, their mobility was exceptional, and VH-09 quickly followed. The two crews, totaling eight members, drove their 'Fang' mobile Mobile Armor one after the other, directly storming into the headquarters of Sunny Garden.
Bang! The reinforced concrete was instantly torn apart. With the help of the air cushions under his 'teeth' feet, he swung his arm and the 40mm wrist cannon ripped the [Mutant] player who was maintaining the gravity defense line on the first floor into dust.
The high-explosive incendiary ammunition spread the flames, and the dying players crawled and were engulfed by the flames as they ignited.
In just a moment, all 22 players returned to Triangle Town, looking completely bewildered.
"What happens?"
"Is that Mobile Armor?"
"It's a Gundam!"
Players had never witnessed the power of the Four Nations' war machines. No matter how well they fought in urban warfare, the Mobile Armor powered by the combined energy of the four Beta-rank warriors could withstand their attacks with just its Aura Shield.
After the Mobile Armor appeared, the situation completely reversed.
The players hid behind cover, trying to intercept the armor with anti-vehicle missiles, but the driver simply raised his hand and slapped them and the cover into concrete scraps.
"They're just a bunch of immortals in their physical form, fools—ever since the advent of Mobile Armor, the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons has become a traditional festival custom."
The 'Long Teeth' looks like a demon with red horns. Each of its four electronic eyes stores a carefully crafted cursed object by a medium, allowing it to easily identify spirits, make them manifest, and then physically destroy them.
The VH-10's commander Shibuki Shingo, constantly observed the surrounding situation. Every now and then, he would sit in the machine gun position and use the machine gun on the front to smash through the load-bearing walls, trapping those players with strong firepower underneath them. They wouldn't die, but they couldn't get out either.
Many more players were immediately sent back to the respawn point in Triangle Town, and were shocked by their death record.
The use of Mobile Armor as a weapon of destruction for the Four Nations is naturally justified.
At least 90% of the creatures on this planet cannot withstand a 30mm high-explosive incendiary armor-piercing round in their face, and the remaining 10% cannot withstand the force of Laser Rifle after Burst Reload.
Its existence directly shattered the glorious status of the Gamma-rank. It only requires four Beta-rank young men to maintain the machine, which is much cheaper than thawing and maintaining the survival of the Gamma-rank. There is no need to worry about loyalty, and it can even provide a lot of jobs and create private enterprises.
Even during peacetime, the Red Arrow Empire didn't have Gamma-rank at all; its terrifying number of 4,300 Mobile Armor was enough to maintain its dominant position in the region.
However, the Heavenly Ring People worship the strong, especially the strong individuals. Therefore, their Mobile Armor is all based on elite special equipment modifications, making them extremely powerful in individual Combat Power.
Not only can the players not beat them, but even the Red Arrow People wouldn't dare to say it's a one-on-one fight. Both are main battle-class Mobile Armor, and the Heavenly Ring People's special mechs.
The two long-toothed mechs looked similar, but their internal structures were vastly different. Players tried everything they could, but couldn't even scratch the paint job.
After receiving reinforcements, the Heavenly Ring Warrior' morale soared, and they charged towards the players with roars of excitement. They threw out electromagnetic tripwires, rope net guns, and iron forks, trapping some players who couldn't move quickly enough.
"Capture them alive! Send those undead to the Hojo Family for experiments!"
The samurai's shouts immediately woke the players.
"We can't fight, we have to retreat!"
Caramel Snail's right leg was shattered by a machine gun. He decisively pulled out his pistol and shot himself in the head. The next moment, he respawned back in Triangle Town, surrounded by glowing dust, with players who had returned after committing suicide all around him.
He only had one chance to revive today. He glanced at the mission countdown—there were 3 hours left until launch.
"This is definitely going to be a positional battle." A player nearby sighed regretfully, "If we could handle the Mobile Armor, we could kill a few more Sky Ring soldiers."
"It's impossible, we've already reached the version cap," someone said helplessly. "If only we could unlock level 20, but the developers won't let us advance to Alpha Rank. This will make things really tough."
The Caramel Snail looked around, scanned the surroundings, and scratched its head somewhat bewilderedly:
"Speaking of which... where Li Aoz?"
Boom! ZH-10's commander, Shibuki Shingo, was pulled from the burning cockpit by a strong, large hand. The Neural Link in his back were instantly severed, and a massive flow of information assaulted his brain. He howled in pain, but at the same time, he forced himself to sit up, raised his pistol, aimed at the towering, terrifying monster in front of him, and pulled the trigger.
Bang bang bang bang bang bang! Seven.50 caliber high stopping power bullets hit the opponent's depleted uranium armor, but didn't even leave a white mark. The tall bio-monster raised its foot and calmly and firmly stepped on his face.
Smack
Just like the crisp sound of popping bubble wrap, it's both stress-relieving and cute. As the white and red mixed pulp slowly spreads, only the clamor of the wind remains in the ruins of Sunny Garden.
silence.
The two Mobile Armor lay wrecked on the ground, their deaths identical – the weakest armor on top was pierced through, the hatch was violently torn open, and then the inside inexplicably caught fire and exploded.
The deep blue bio-mechanical body stood upright, its entire body covered in sharply defined armor, tightly binding its rugged and wild bio-mechanical muscles together.
Its body is very tall and robust, like a small mountain, but its proportions are very good. Its powerful legs, like those of Tyrannosaurus Rex, are firmly planted on the ground. Its jaw, which is also exaggerated like that of a carnivorous dinosaur, is covered by a mask made of high-polymer fiber material. Three pairs of deep purple compound eyes are arranged vertically, occupying nearly a third of the face, which in turn provides an incredibly wide field of vision.
The built-in Bio-Kinetics tube provides continuous output, and the calcium alloy hydraulic pump regulates and stabilizes the heart's terrifying power, keeping the implant in peak condition at all times.
"Want to come again?"
The armored vehicle didn't speak, but a synthesized voice came directly from the radio channel. Its six compound eyes looked mockingly at the distant Sky Ring army and said:
"I wouldn't mind dismantling two more of your mechs."
Kano Asaichi's pupils narrowed:
"Who exactly are you?!"
"A passing Mutant career mentor, because someone retaliated by spending money, is about to reach the Gamma-rank, that's all."
The bio-engineered suit raised its claws, and its six purple compound eyes were instantly covered in red and black:
"—Remember this well."
[Overlord Form Activated]
"Heavenly Ring Devils, you must understand: even among the strong, there are differences."
