Chapter 26: III Generation Mecha - Azure Wing
The entire Type II Chilami's body was riddled with holes from the explosions, but as more and more Chilami larvae poured in, the Type II Chilami's body rapidly repaired itself, its volume growing larger. The external cellular differentiation shell became more vibrant, showing signs of evolving towards Type III.
Su Ming watched the battle unfold before him and shook his head slightly. The situation was not optimistic.
Just then, the Chilami's expanding body suddenly compressed violently. Its body, over twenty meters tall, shrank to fifteen meters. The unformed, circular head suddenly split open, revealing an ugly mouth.
Zzzt!
Black lightning flashed.
Swish!
A black beam swept across.
Rumble~
Iron Head Mechas and armored vehicles were blown apart one by one.
Following this, the Type II Chilami further mimicked into a humanoid form.
"It's over."
Captain Han Le, controlling his Mecha, climbed up and his heart trembled violently as he saw this scene.
Suddenly, a beam of light streaked from a distance at high speed, striking the mimicked Chilami's body!
Crack!
A white beam saber pierced through the Type II Chilami's body.
This sudden turn of events stunned everyone.
Su Ming held his breath and looked closely.
He saw a Mecha, seventeen meters tall, its body covered in azure metal armor. A beam cannon was embedded in its shoulder, a pair of flexible mechanical jet wings were embedded on its back, and it wielded two ten-meter-long beam sabers. A black star emblem was painted on its chest.
"III Generation Mecha - Azure Wing!"
Su Ming blurted out almost instinctively. He recognized the Mecha's model at a glance. Moreover, this was not just an ordinary third-generation Mecha; it was a third-generation Mecha with an honor mark.
The black star emblem on its chest was the best proof.
In the Old Federation, the Divine Kingdom of Apocalypse, and the Dark Star Empire, the three major factions had a similar honor rule within their military departments.
That is, when you kill an important enemy figure or a powerful monster, in addition to receiving rewards and medals, you can paint different markings on your Mecha.
Among these, the star marking represents a renowned expert of a faction, an officer at the Colonel level, or a special Type III alien race or above.
The moon marking represents an enemy top expert, an officer at the General level, or a Type IV alien race or above.
The sun marking represents an enemy hero, an officer at the Commander level, or a Type V alien race or above.
As for painting it black, it signifies killing an alien race, while red signifies personnel from the enemy faction.
"So strong!"
Chen Tong, Minke, and the others were all stunned.
With just one strike, it dealt a heavy blow to this elite Type II Chilami that was about to advance, its life activity instantly plummeting.
At this moment, the heavily wounded elite Type II Chilami extended its differentiated claws and swiped at the Azure Wing Mecha before it.
As a result, the Azure Wing Mecha swung its other beam saber, slicing the attacking claw in half. Then, the Azure Wing Mecha pulled out the piercing beam saber and slashed the Chilami from behind.
Crack!
The entire Type II Chilami was cut open from its head, revealing its writhing internal tissues.
The Azure Wing Mecha then swung its beam saber, and like cutting a watermelon, it sliced the Chilami's body into four or five pieces in a few strokes.
Afterward, the Azure Wing Mecha retracted its beam blades, drew a massive mechanical light gun, adjusted its muzzle, and pulled the trigger at the Chilami's corpse.
Sizzle~
A scanning-like scattered beam covered the entire body of the Type II Chilami.
Its black cell body dissolved like a bubble, finally turning into a dry, shriveled mass, completely losing its vitality.
Due to the Old Federation's constant battles with Chilami and the Mechanical Race, two types of weapons were developed with particular advancement. One type was optical weapons, and the mechanical light gun wielded by this Azure Wing Mecha was one of the most classic models, capable of concentrating energy to penetrate or dispersing the beam to dissolve bodies.
The other type of weapon was electromagnetic, specifically designed to deal with the Mechanical Race.
After completely finishing off the Chilami, the Azure Wing Mecha turned its head and sternly issued an order to Han Le and the others.
"The rest of the cleanup is up to you."
"Yes, Lord Zhou Hao!"
Han Le and the others replied excitedly. The Lord Zhou Hao before them was Xiao Lie's right-hand man.
Whoosh~
Zhou Hao, controlling the Azure Wing Mecha, leaped from the ground and flew away.
"Everyone, the crisis is over. We'll begin the cleanup now."
Han Le said to Daniel and the others.
"Yes!"
Daniel and the others immediately responded.
"Wuwu, it's finally over."
"We're saved."
The many students and teachers present breathed a sigh of relief. They had finally made it through; it had been truly brutal.
After Han Le finished giving instructions, he turned and looked at the four training machines, asking, "You four are students, right?"
"Uh, yes."
Su Ming and the other three replied.
Han Le was quite surprised upon hearing their answer.
He hadn't expected them to be students, and such brave ones at that. To put it bluntly, the students at intermediate academies were basically hothouse flowers. They learned a lot of theory but had never seen real, brutal combat. So, he praised them sincerely.
"Thank you so much for your help. You were incredibly brave and performed exceptionally well!"
"Sir, you flatter us. We didn't really help that much."
Su Ming and the others were a bit overwhelmed by the praise.
"Don't say that. You were truly outstanding."
Han Le replied sincerely.
For a moment, Su Ming and the others felt a little embarrassed by the compliments.
And just then, a man in a black suit, with a small mustache, a bald head, and a beer belly, who appeared quite old, arrived in front of Han Le and his group, leading a crowd of people, looking furious.
Su Ming also looked at the man curiously. If he remembered correctly, this was Principal Roken.
Roken surveyed the students, many of whom were dead or injured, then pointed at Han Le and angrily demanded an explanation.
"What were you guys doing? How long have the Chilami been invading, and you're only just arriving for support? Do you know how many students have died because of your dereliction of duty? This is negligence, and I will report you!"
At that moment, the surviving students all turned to look.
Captain Han Le's brow furrowed as he looked at Roken, who was accusing him.
Vice-Captain Xima, standing beside Han Le, said helplessly, "Mr. Principal, your accusation is unreasonable. It was the middle of the night, and we were all resting in our dorms. As soon as we heard the alarm, we rushed out and headed straight for the Mecha hangar. It takes time to get to the hangar, doesn't it? It takes time to start the Mechas, right? And the city is so large, it also takes time for us to fly over. It's remarkable that we arrived this quickly."
Roken was momentarily speechless at Xima's defense. However, he didn't give up and instead turned his attention to Daniel and the others.
"That's where you went wrong! As patrol guards, you didn't rush to the rescue immediately, leading to heavy student casualties. I will report you!"
