"This fortress has decent defenses; it's an Grade A piece of equipment."
Han Xiao raised an eyebrow, a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes.
A panel pops up with information about Kailo, whose level is higher than his own. Some of his attributes and skills are marked with question marks, and his combat power level and health are not visible.
Han Xiao was not surprised by this; he was only level 142, and most Grade A people were at a higher level than him.
The heavily armored fortress has strong defenses, but it's not indestructible. However, Han Xiao didn't want to confront it head-on. As a virtual mechanic, he still had some professional ethics. Without saying a word, he started the virtual intrusion and handed over control of the Buddha's Palm to Phillip.
"Phillip, play along with him, hold off his fire, and don't let him wreak havoc on my legion."
"Command confirmed, commencing execution..."
The Buddha's Palm, and suddenly a propulsive tail flame erupted from the bottom of the heavily armored fortress, lifting the massive fortress into the air to dodge the attack and move rapidly through the sky.
This is also a flying fortress.
The Buddha's Palm chased after the heavily armored fortress, performing a two-person dance in mid-air.
Han Xiao focused on the virtual invasion, while all around him, war raged as mechanical legions from both sides clashed fiercely.
The five legions, now equipped with brand-new gear, have seen a significant increase in firepower. Blue-green plasma cannons shatter steel, thermomelting cannons melt metal, and space-distorting bombs resemble miniature Black Hole, creating vortex-like distortions in their affected areas. Not to mention the miniature thermonuclear landmines—these little cuties can even grow mushrooms.
The Rubik's Cube Army consists of three sizes: miniature Rubik's Cube robots of normal size, small combined mechanical soldiers half the height of a person, and robots that are like little giants. Each has its own advantages, whether it is agile or heavy.
The G-2 Heavy Cavalry was like a machine gun, cutting in and out of enemy lines. Their various chilling melee weapons shredded countless enemies into pieces, like an eraser constantly drawing blank lines on the field.
The performance of Han Xiao's mechanical legion is significantly higher than that of the standard mechanical soldiers controlled by Kailo; they can both be considered semi-elite.
The killing efficiency was like a harvest, and Kailo's mechanical troops fell one after another.
In the first exchange, Han Xiao's mechanical army gained the upper hand.
However, reinforcements kept arriving, and they couldn't kill them all. The wreckage piled up more and more. Kailo was determined to wipe out Han Xiao's entire fortune. He didn't even control his troops to attack Han Xiao. He only focused on clipping Han Xiao's Wings, and he didn't care if it was a three-for-one exchange.
Han Xiao was not without losses either; his five regular legions were also slowly losing combat power.
Occasionally, any mechanical soldiers that managed to get close to Han Xiao were either shot down halfway by the Watch Protocol or shattered into pieces by the Oathkeeper' military-style punches.
This kind of war of attrition, where everyone's resources are being used against each other, is like a stalemate.
"How long will those two fight?" one of the Vanguard Officers couldn't help but ask.
Mazaks shook his head. "It will take at least several hours."
At that moment, another figure jumped up, and the other Vanguard Officers were all startled when they looked over.
"Second brother, you're here too!"
"Hmm, the chief called me to come and take a look." The newcomer was a tall, slender humanoid creature, a breath of fresh air in the War Realm filled with muscular men.
This person is nicknamed "Hunting Blade". There are different schools of Pugilist Class, not just violent ones. He follows the path of high-agility weaponry and is the second-ranked among the eight Vanguard Officers.
The eight Vanguard Officers were also ranked. The chief Vanguard Officers was the eldest, the most senior, and the strongest. He had been personally trained by Heber and possessed A+ level strength. He was a formidable fighter and a training fanatic, spending almost all his free time in the gravity training room. He was significantly different from the others. The second-in-command, Hunting Blade, was also very powerful. The two usually carried out more dangerous missions and were rarely seen. Their sudden appearance surprised the other Vanguard Officers.
After glancing at the battle situation, Hunting Blade quickly analyzed it and said slowly, "Black Star appears to have the upper hand, but in reality, he is on the defensive. If Kailo wants to wage a protracted war, Black Star must end the battle quickly. If he cannot break through Kailo's defenses quickly, the situation will turn around drastically once his troops suffer heavy losses, and he will undoubtedly lose."
"That's what I think too." Mazaks nodded, then paused. "However, the current situation is quite good. Kailo has the advantage of the terrain, and his combat strength is also considerable. Black Star's chances are slim."
"Kailo... not bad, right?"
Hunting Blade nodded slightly, acknowledging Kailo's strength.
Meanwhile, three high-ranking officials from Krent also arrived at the scene, climbed onto the building to watch the battle, and asked the onlookers nearby before learning the whole story.
"Black Star actually dared to openly challenge their officers on the War Realm? They've got some nerve."
Laifer was quite surprised.
"He's doing this to get revenge on Ames, isn't he? It makes a lot of sense for a current leader of Dragon Calm to challenge a former traitor," Krent chuckled.
Laifer nodded, then turned to look at Ames not far away, and found that Ames was staring intently at the battle, her face full of focus.
Rumble--
The artillery fire continued unabated, and the battle raged on.
The two sides fought fiercely, and the situation gradually reached a stalemate.
Suddenly, Kailo's heavily armored fortress accelerated sharply, shaking Buddha's Palm, and began to transform.
The heavy machinery disassembled, transforming into sections of mechanical structure, which were then reassembled. At the same time, Kailo threw out a bunch of compressed balls, which unfolded into new accessories, and countless parts quickly combined.
In the blink of an eye, the countless parts transformed into a massive humanoid mech, thirty to forty meters tall!
Large-scale combat mech, [Giant Warrior - Ship Breaker]!
The Ship Breaker giant is humanoid in shape, with two hands and two feet, no head, and a cone-shaped top that forms the end of its torso. It is black and green in appearance, with thick armor covering its joints and vital organs. It is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, with a shorter upper body and a longer lower body. Its legs are equipped with propellers and track pulleys, and its body is covered with various mounted weapons. On its back are a pair of steel wing-like propulsion wings.
To put it simply, this thing looks like an upside-down green trash can, but it's got hands, feet, and wings.
Kailo coldly looked down at Han Xiao, then got into the cockpit in the center of his torso.
Bang!
After landing, the Ship Breaker performed a nimble roll, its massive size causing the ground to tremble. It then crouched down, wielding a molten chainsaw sword with one hand and unfolding its arm armor with the other, transforming it into a thick, massive alloy shield, with the sword in front of it.
The heavy mech school relies on various large and giant machines for combat. These large mechs are usually called giant mechs, and their size of thirty or forty meters is comparable to some small spaceships.
With such a large size, it can accommodate more power structures or energy cores, making it extremely powerful and capable of fighting directly in space, essentially a more flexible interstellar vehicle.
Virtual mechanics participate in space wars through intrusion, while heavy mechanics can create giant, Gundam-like soldiers to fight against warships.
The Ship Breaker giant, shielded by an alloy armor, charged Charge, its massive feet shaking the ground. The shield slammed into the Buddha's Palm, the immense force sending the Buddha's Palm flying aside. It then repelled the mechanical giant hand, which was twice its size, head-on. Next, it swung its molten chainsaw sword, sweeping across the battlefield.
call--
The intense white light drew a dazzling fan shape, sweeping across a vast blank space on the battlefield. Indiscriminately, countless mechanical soldiers were shredded into countless parts by the heavy chainsaw swords.
Han Xiao narrowed his eyes, and the Watch Protocol combined into a large-caliber floating cannon. A beam of dark blue light, as thick as a bucket, shot out and struck the chest and abdomen of the Ship Breaker behemoth.
Buzz--
A light yellow shield immediately appeared, blocking the high-energy light cannon and blasting it into countless light fragments, preventing it from harming the Ship Breaker's main body.
"They've even brought out a Gundam; they're really going all out."
Han Xiao curled his lips. He wasn't surprised at all. He had been spying on it every day for the past few days and had already seen Kailo maintaining the giant mech.
Advanced job advancement in the Mechanic Class will also affect the results of blueprint fusion. Choosing one branch will triple the consumption of advanced knowledge potential points for the other two branches, and there is another limitation: some blueprints from the other two branches cannot be fused.
Han Xiao chose the Virtual Mechanic. While gambling on blueprints, he obtained some blueprints in the Heavy Mechanic style, such as the Ship Breaker, a giant mech.
Kailo's deployment of the giant weapon was clearly not intended to deal with Han Xiao alone; that was like using a cannon to kill a mosquito.
His goal was to use the giant mechs to quickly wipe out Black Star's mechanical legion.
He hadn't originally planned to use the Ship Breaker as a trump card, but the quality of Black Star's mechanical legion was beyond his expectations. His cannon fodder units were dying too quickly, and the replenishment speed could hardly keep up. If he didn't unleash the giant soldiers, Kailo was worried that the situation would get out of control.
"Kailo has switched from defense to offense. I can feel the energy fluctuations of this giant ship; it's extremely strong. Even for me, it would take a very long time to break through it." Outside the protective shield, Mazaks spoke with a raised tone, looking at Kailo with newfound respect.
Hunting Blade nodded. "That's more like it."
Far away in the palace, Heber watched the live broadcast and gave a soft "hmm" in approval.
Just then, a sudden change occurred on the field!
All the mechanical soldiers on the field suddenly stopped, as if someone had pressed a freeze button.
Kailo was stunned. He was about to start the Ship Breaker when he heard a static noise coming from the control panel. The artificial intelligence did not respond at all, and the Neural Link control had completely failed.
The Ship Breaker stood motionless, like a machine on the field.
The battlefield, which had been filled with the sounds of gunfire just moments before, suddenly fell silent, the transition incredibly abrupt.
The sudden change froze the expressions of all the spectators.
bite--
A crisp ringtone sounded from the Mad Ape's virtual intrusion panel.
Han Xiao clenched his fist and chuckled.
His voice carried clearly across the battlefield, where even a pin drop could be heard; everyone could hear it.
"Okay, the foreplay is over."
Han Xiao Ming Kailo had the advantage of terrain, but he couldn't bear to fight a war of attrition. He used the mechanical legion to entangle the enemy's forces and give himself time for a virtual invasion.
Now, with the support of Resta and Phillip, the invasion is complete.
These standard machines were all controlled by the same AI, and after being thoroughly thrashed by Resta, they lost control. All of Kailo's mechanical forces were paralyzed and malfunctioned, and could only be restored after the system Restart.
Taking this opportunity, Han Xiao strode towards the giant Ship Breaker.
Thump thump thump...
As he advanced, rows of mechanical soldiers fell, all malfunctioning and paralyzed. The scene was spectacular, like wheat fields swaying in the wind. It was as if all the people were submitting to the emperor!
Two words: awesome!
Han Xiao's journey was unimpeded; this was the easiest time he had ever confronted someone.
Civil wars are something virtual mechanics excel at. As the old saying goes, if we don't have guns or cannons, the enemy will make them for us.
Kailo stared at his Ship Breaker cockpit as Han Xiao completely destroyed all his machinery. His face was incredibly ugly, his heart filled with uncontrollable rage and a strong sense of humiliation.
As a mechanic, the feeling of having your machinery forcibly taken away is indescribable, as if you have lost all your dignity.
"Restart the system now!" Kailo roared.
"In troubleshooting and virus removal in progress, estimated time unknown..." The system alarm echoed in the driver's cab, accompanied by piercing noise.
"Oh no, it's too late!" Kailo's expression finally turned panicked as he saw Han Xiao approaching.
But he still clung to a last glimmer of hope. In his haste, Black Star had only used the most brutal method to paralyze the Ship Breaker's operating system, without seizing control, so he could still hide inside the Ship Breaker.
As long as Han Xiao fails to break through the Ship Breaker's armor before the system Restart, he still has a chance to regain control of the situation.
However, the next moment, Kailo's heart sank to the bottom.
Han Xiao's mechanical legion was all aimed at the Ship Breaker. An endless barrage of bullets blotted out the sky, and the Ship Breaker's high-energy shield shattered after only two seconds under the terrifying firepower.
boom--
The armor on its chest and abdomen was hit by concentrated fire, causing a series of explosions. The Ship Breaker could not withstand the force and crashed to the ground face up.
The Buddha's Palm disintegrated, transforming into more than a dozen giant mechanical hands, which became drills and pierced a gap in the Ship Breaker's torso.
Amidst the tangled wires and energy transmission pipes, Kailo's cockpit was exposed.
Due to the system malfunction, Kailo couldn't even eject to escape, and the Ship Breaker became a prison that confined him.
Looking at Han Xiao jumping into the driver's seat, Kailo was terrified and hurriedly said, "I admit it..."
Before he could finish speaking, Han Xiao's large hand pinched his mouth shut, like an iron clamp, shoving Kailo's words back into his stomach.
"Get out of here!"
Berserk Throw!
Thump!!
Kailo was thrown Ship Breaker, tumbling and soaring into the sky, rising hundreds of meters high before slamming directly onto the dome of the protective shield of the combat training ground.
He didn't have a strong body. Although he was Calamity Grade, his resistance to blows was far inferior to that of the Pugilist Class. This impact left him dazed and confused, and he was immediately affected by the brief [dizziness] state caused by the Berserk Throw.
But before he could fall, Kailo's vision blurred, and Han Xiao instantly flew to his side.
A distance of several hundred meters is nothing more than a single acceleration from the Mad Ape Mech, leaving a trail of blue flames behind it.
Sizzle--
The next second, blinding lightning burst forth from Han Xiao, illuminating Kailo's horrified expression.
His arms were like a drawn bow, stretched to their limit, and then his fists slammed heavily into Kailo's chest and Kailo, pressing him against the protective dome.
Boom!!
It was as if a ball of lightning had suddenly exploded out of thin air.
Power Blast!
Gene Liberation!
Germinal Leader Character Card - Armor-Piercing Combo!
Han Xiao unleashed this attack without holding back, amplifying its power with triple enhancements, elevating its strength to a terrifying level.
BOOM!!
An explosive sonic wave swept across the area, unleashing a ring-shaped shockwave.
The force of this punch traveled through Kailo's body, directly shattering the protective shield covering the entire arena!
Amidst a shower of light, Kailo ascended into the sky like a rocket, piercing through the clouds and leaving behind trails of expanding air currents.
Crimson blood splattered in the air.
All the spectators in the War Realm stared wide-eyed as Kailo soared into the sky.
Mazaks was stunned. In just ten seconds, Han Xiao had broken the stalemate of the war of attrition and ended the battle directly.
That's too fast!
It was so fast he almost didn't have time to react!
