Against the mechs of the Daibo Civilization, the Ancient Class's size advantage was simply too obvious. Seeing the tiny creature rushing towards it, the Ancient Class raised its tentacle and swept it away.

The enormous tentacles, over two hundred meters long and nearly thirty meters in diameter at their thickest point, lashed out at a mecha with a devastating force.

Blue Electric Arc flickered on its wrists and feet, not only enhancing its own defense but also increasing its lethality and speed. This strike was so fast that it could easily create a sonic boom within the atmosphere of the Life Star.

The mech pilot remained relatively calm in the face of this attack. During the years they had traveled from the territory of the Daibo Civilization to the front lines, the Daibo Civilization's headquarters had continuously upgraded the mech's technology.

Although they couldn't provide new equipment for their brothers on the front lines, they did create a simulation program based on the Zerg's previous combat parameters, in collaboration with their brother civilizations who were addicted to the virtual world.

This virtual program has a very simple function: to create mechs identical to those on the front lines in a virtual world to fight against the Zerg's Ancient Class.

Moreover, unlike hardware, this program allows the Daibo Civilization to directly transmit it to the fleet at sea via a quantum communication device.

In the first few years after arriving on the battlefield, these figure enthusiasts—oh, I mean mecha pilots—were awakened from hibernation. Then they practiced in virtual programs.

Upon arriving at the front lines, they expected immediate battle, but the Yuntu Civilization was defeated, and Mowei bought the Lashudia Clan race ten years. Therefore, the mech pilots of the Daibo Civilization trained for another ten years.

Therefore, although this is their first real combat encounter with Zerg units, they have been fighting in the virtual world for over a decade.

Wrist and leg strikes are the most basic attack method of the Ancient Class. The relevant data has long been recorded by the Star Sea Alliance. Every mech pilot has died from this move thousands of times in the virtual world.

But in the virtual world, everything can be restarted. These countless experiences of death have made them familiar with this move, and they have mastered all sorts of ways to deal with it.

Therefore, although the Ancient Class weapon has a very fast swing speed and electromagnetic acceleration, the mecha pilot's reaction speed, or rather, muscle memory, is even faster.

However, the performance of the Daibo Race mechs was insufficient for the pilots to perform any fancy maneuvers. Therefore, in the split second, the target mech swiftly raised its large metal shield in its left hand, holding it in front of it.

At the same time, the mech's right arm was crossed in front of its chest as a second layer of protection. Finally, the mech's body leaned back as far as it could, raising its head.

"Boom!" Although sound cannot travel in space, the loud noise was still transmitted to the cockpit through the metal. The massive metal shield shattered into pieces under the immense force of that instant.

Immediately afterwards, the mech's arms also disintegrated into parts and slammed into its body. Under this barrage of fragments, the mech's body was riddled with holes.

At this moment, the immense force was finally transmitted to the mech itself, instantly blasting away the Reactive Armor attached to its surface. Simultaneously, the entire body was sent flying like a ball.

Fortunately, after all this damage mitigation, the cockpit at the head of the vehicle remained relatively intact. The cockpit, tilted back, protected the relatively fragile ruby-colored observation window.

The mech was severely damaged, and the energy generator was seriously damaged, with the possibility of exploding at any moment. However, apart from being dizzy, nauseous, and having several broken bones due to the sudden acceleration, the pilot managed to survive.

He endured the pain and pressed a red button on the control panel. Instantly, the driver's seat slammed together, signaling the overhead guard to open, and then the seat was launched away.

This is an integrated single-person escape pod, the mech pilot's last line of defense. This mech pilot will go down in history; he was the first Daibo to engage the real- Zerg in combat using a mech, the first member of the Star Sea Alliance. He was also the first to leave combat, the first pilot to have his mech damaged in battle, the first...

In short, he pioneered many firsts, many...

Although the pilot is unlikely to be able to participate in combat again for some time due to the destruction of his vehicle and injuries, the battle between the Ancient Class and the Daibo mechs has only just begun.

After sweeping away the first enemy, the other mechs closed in during the time it took. However, the Ancient Class mech had more than one tentacle, and striking multiple enemies simultaneously was child's play for it.

However, the strategy adopted by the first pilot who disengaged from the battle was the worst possible course of action, only slightly better than self-destruction. With this preparation, the remaining mechs no longer chose to fight head-on.

The Daibo Civilization had the capability to build more mechs, but they chose a length of sixty meters. This was because, according to calculations, sixty meters was the optimal choice for them, given their current technology, to ensure both lethality and maneuverability.

With smaller mechs, the corresponding weaponry will be weakened. Ranged weapons, which already lacked offensive power, will have even smaller calibers. Weapons designed to counter melee attacks will also be reduced in size.

A 30-meter-long Ship-Slaying Blade is perfectly suited for cutting through a 20-meter-thick tendril. With good aim and skill, it can sever the tendril in just a few strikes. However, if it were a 20-meter-long Ship-Slaying Blade, its power would be greatly reduced. Even if Ancient Class were floating motionless, a single tendril would probably take it a long time to cut through.

At this moment, the agility of the small mechs became apparent. With nearly a hundred small thrusters distributed throughout their bodies, they could change direction at multiple angles.

Faced with the swinging tentacles, they dodged and weaved in all directions, occasionally managing to slash out with their blades. These were high-polymer blades specifically designed to counter the Zerg Biological Armor, and each strike left a massive wound on the Ancient Class tentacles.

However, although this injury seems serious, it is only a minor injury on Ancient Class creature created using Creep template.

However, these mech pilots were unaware that, due to the Zerg Gene Lock, the Star Sea Alliance had never been able to successfully analyze the body structure of the Ancient Class, and naturally did not know where the vital points of the Ancient Class beings were.

However, in the view of most civilizations, the vital points of a living being are nothing more than two places: the head and the heart. And Ancient Class is Biological Weapon of the Zerg, and it carries the word "biological," it is highly likely that it has these two vital points.

Therefore, while dodging the attacks from the tentacles, the mech pilots tried to get closer to the main body of the Ancient Class mech. Although the structure of the Ancient Class mech made it difficult to distinguish its head and tail, the head and heart could not possibly be located on the tentacles.

However, the closer distance gave the mechs less time to react to the attacks from their arms and legs. Before long, several mechs were sent flying. One of them didn't even manage to escape through its escape pod until it exploded.
