Inside the cockpit, Luo Yan's body swayed slightly. Even with the mech's shock absorbers fully engaged, they still couldn't counteract all the impacts from the air and the outer armor.

The eight thrusters behind the ' White Dragon ' gradually increased their firepower, propelling the mech to greater speed. At this moment, looking out from the panoramic view, the surrounding streets and buildings had become a rapidly receding blur of light and shadow.

Boom!

As the ' White Dragon ' passed by a building, the reflection of the mecha soaring into the sky was seen in the building's windows, followed by the windows exploding one after another.

The fragments shimmered in the sunlight, like magnificent fireworks.

The ' White Dragon ' suddenly rose into the sky amidst the blooming 'fireworks'.

On the weapon lock window of the command console, the computer used by ' White Dragon ' to assist the Mech Master was performing a large number of calculations, constantly trying to align the crosshair with the 'Vulture'.

The enemy must have already spotted the pursuers and immediately began making various tactical maneuvers to try and shake off ' White Dragon '.

Unfortunately, the ' White Dragon ' far surpasses that old model in everything from its computer to its outer armor.

In a short while, the computer had locked itself, and Luo Yan didn't stand on ceremony, pressing a button on the floating-point controller.

The flying 'mech' had its Hyperion heavy mortar pointed at the enemy aircraft, followed by a deafening roar as the cannon spewed out dazzling flames.

The cannon barrel recoiled violently, causing the mech to shake slightly, but it sent a ballistic missile flying out with a 'whoosh,' drawing a beautiful arc across the azure sky before falling back down.

A moment later.

Luo Yan saw a fireball bursting in the distance through the panoramic window.

The orange fireball generated visible shockwaves in mid-air, and the panoramic view of the ' White Dragon ' trembled slightly due to the Shockwave.

Within the fireball, something was thrown down – it was the 'Vulture'. The wings on the back of this mech were shattered, the thrusters were nowhere to be found, and several pieces of its outer armor were torn off, with sparks flying from the internal circuitry. It scattered pieces of parts along the way before finally swooping down to the ground, rolling continuously, occasionally bouncing up, and falling for nearly a thousand meters before coming to a stop.

Luo Yan looked at the mech lying on the ground, and through his ' Eye of True Suchness,' he could still see the gray, humanoid creature inside the enemy mech's cockpit.

The Mech Master inside was still alive. He didn't approach rashly, locked onto the enemy aircraft, and fired another ballistic missile.

Inside the cockpit of the 'Vulture', the Mech Master's lips twitched. He had originally planned to fake his death to lure the ' White Dragon ' closer, then seize the opportunity to counterattack. He hadn't expected the opposing Mech Master to be so cautious, even bombarding his crippled mech with missiles.

Missiles aren't cheap!

A sharp whistling sound echoed in the sky as the missile streaked across the sky in a parabolic arc before falling to the ground.

'Vulture' stopped playing dead, suddenly rolled over, pointed its rifle at the sky, and fired bullets into the air, successfully detonating the missile before it fell.

Then the mech stood up, and before it could react, ' White Dragon ' had already charged over.

Inside the cockpit, the immense thrust slammed Luo Yan into his chair, and the jets on the back of the ' White Dragon ' spat out long tongues of blue flame, propelling the mech closer to the enemy in an instant.

Luo Yan suddenly thrust his Divine Might Rifle into a gap in the enemy plane's waist, and with his other hand pressed down on the enemy's rifle, pushing the muzzle towards the ground.

Both mechs opened fire simultaneously, but the difference was that 'Vulture's' bullets all hit the ground, while ' White Dragon's' fire blasts penetrated the enemy mech's body.

One bullet after another shattered the various parts, circuits, and frame inside.

The other side of the armor was ripped open, spraying out countless objects along with the bullets, scattering them across the ground.

When ' White Dragon ' emptied a magazine, 'Vulture' had already been swept in half, its lower half crashing to the ground, while its upper half was being held aloft by Luo Yan.

At that moment, a dark shadow ejected from the cockpit of the 'Vulture'. The pilot disembarked immediately. Luo Yan, who had no habit of letting the enemy escape, picked up the upper half of the 'Vulture' and threw it away.

Boom!

The severed fuselage slammed into the pilot, who had been ejected into the air. Amid the pilot's screams, it crashed into him, turning him into a bloody pulp before falling back down to the ground some distance away.

The ground shook, but the shaking did not stop; instead, it grew stronger.

Luo Yan looked back and saw that the other mechs and armed legion convoys in the city had already driven out.

The final offensive has begun.

Wild Horse Base.

In the Command Center, the base commander, pale-faced, took a few steps back, looked at the 'Vulture' that had been taken down on the screen, and then looked at a tall man next to him with a bitter expression.

"Mr. Lian, things are getting serious in the Undercity. Should we retreat?"

This man, with his gray hair and bluish stubble on his chin, was none other than Lian Wushan, Huang Yuanhang's personal bodyguard!

When Huang Yuanhang was arrested that day, he was the only one who escaped. After that, he left the Undercity and came to the ' Wild Horse Base '.

Now, the base is basically under his control.

"Withdraw?"

Lian Wushan twisted his neck, making a cracking sound, then stepped forward, suddenly drew his pistol, pointed it at the supervisor's head, and said, "If I hear that again, I'll send you to meet the King of Hell!"

The supervisor gave a wry smile, "We can't fight against the Undercity."

"Even with a few mechs and 50 ' Chou Ghost), they still wouldn't be a match for the Undercity."

"I know you want to save Mister Huang, but acting impulsively now will not help."

Lian Wushan put down his pistol, looked at the big screen, and said, "So, do you think you can escape?"

"You even took down a mech like the 'Vulture,' you don't actually think those few attack helicopters in the base can help us shake off the enemy, do you?"

The supervisor whispered, "If we had accepted the Undercity investigation from the beginning, we wouldn't be in this predicament."

Lian Wushan glared at him fiercely. "What, you want to give the base away?"

"This is Mister Huang's life's work; he has poured all his resources into this base."

"Besides, you should also know that this base does not belong to Mister Huang alone."

"If you just give it away like this, will those people let you off the hook? Will they let Mister Huang off the hook?"

He patted his supervisor on the shoulder again. "Don't worry, I've already reported the situation here to Mr. Liu."

"He probably doesn't want this base to be taken over by Guangling either, so we'll have reinforcements."

"As long as we hold out until reinforcements arrive, there won't be any problems."

Hearing this, the base commander was somewhat relieved, and then a series of orders began to be issued.

At the ' Wild Horse Base ', piercing alarms echoed in every corner as soldiers moved in an orderly fashion, climbing into their respective vehicles.

The Mecha Docking Bay opened, and in the dimly lit space, one after another, mechs hummed with energy and emitted various colored lights as they strode out.

Behind them came the ' Chou Ghost,' a mecha-like creature with a vehicle-like lower half, which was only about ten meters tall.

The entire base has entered a state of first-level combat readiness.
