Wow! The item-dropping rate is really high!

Every three mech servants formed a squad, each responsible for servicing their designated support objects.

The role of the mech servants on the battlefield was to track the mecha they were assigned to within a certain distance. Then, based on the battle situation, the ammunition consumption of the mecha's weapons, and the radio communications, they would plan their actions to ensure that their assigned mecha could perform at its fullest potential in combat.

As a mech servant deployed in combat, Bai E naturally sat in an armored transport vehicle with two other mech servants, trailing at the very end of the formation.

Mecha were strategic weapons and were naturally the last to be deployed; therefore, as the logistic team for the mecha, their squad of mech servants naturally had to position themselves even further to the rear.

If it were Bai E from the beginning of his arrival in this world, he might have thought that the mech servant unit was the safest place to be.

With a bit of luck, some mech servants might not even need to be deployed from start to finish. It could be that the mecha were so badly damaged and the mech pilot killed that rescue was unnecessary, or that the enemy was never strong enough to require the mecha to exert full strength.

But now…

After the Bug Race successively deployed various Titan-level behemoths, the mech servant squads that needed to follow the mecha were probably not so fortunate anymore.

Bai E didn't have much of an impression of the other two mech servants sharing the ride, but they obviously recognized him. As soon as they got on board, they took the initiative to offer their services, saying, "Captain Bai, you rest. We'll handle the driving."

When it came to a critical situation, Bai E would still have to contribute his strength.

The logistic vehicles of the mech servants had extremely thick armor but were loaded with the ammunition and weapons required by the mecha, making them very heavy and slow to move. Moreover, there was no additional space to equip weapon modules.

The only weapons available in the vehicle might be the personal gear that the mech servants themselves could carry.

A knife and a gun were their entire armament for self-defense.

Guarding an entire vehicle with just three guns on the chaotic battlefield, despite the assured protection of allied forces in the vicinity, was still unnerving.

The two mech servants were thrilled when they heard they'd be teamed up with Bai E.

Facing his companions' eagerness, Bai E didn't refuse.

They had not yet reached the actual battlefield, so it wasn't a problem to conserve his energy and build his strength.

The vehicles rumbled forward, stirring up sweeping clouds of dust.

The path they took was nearly the same as the last time, and along the way, there were numerous bones that time had not yet fully cleaned away.

The flesh had long been consumed by the wild creatures of the wasteland, yet the hard chitin bone armor of the Bug Race was clearly not something ordinary creatures could digest.

Humans had difficulty directly utilizing the Bug Race's chitin bone armor. The costs of collecting, transforming, and producing were far greater than the output. Normally, the Bug Race would send out small-scale bugs to reclaim their lost chitin bone armor, and these wandering bug squads were one of the most common forms of conflict with human patrol teams.

However, seeing bone armor left unclaimed to the point where even the flesh had been devoured was still a rare sight until now.

Clearly, the military camp's frequent large-scale sorties in the previous period had nearly severed all the outstretched tentacles of the Bug Race.

All this preparation led up to today, only to thoroughly eradicate the Bug hives in this final battle, freeing Blackwater City from the threat of the hives, thereby enabling future reductions in military spending and a shift of focus towards other areas of development.

The military zone's influence might shrink after this battle, but Weslin, as a marshal with this achievement, would be paving a wide-open path in the city's political trajectory.

Through the transparent windows, Bai E gazed at the scenery outside and suddenly found himself harboring a thought that even he found strange.

It was just a moment, and Bai E quickly suppressed it deep within his heart, never to resurface again.

Nurturing a threat within one's own ranks?

He was not yet so deranged to that extent.

If possible, he would certainly do his utmost to help the military truly complete this thorough annihilation of the Bug Race.

As the more mechanized columns swiftly advanced, the mech servant squad trailing far behind Bai E could already feel the heat of the frontline battle from the thunderous bombardments of the heavy cannons.

Rows of V3 rocket launchers slowly elevated their snow-white missiles right before Bai E's eyes, which then took flight amid bursts of white vapor, traced countless different arcs in the sky, and ultimately pounded into the true heartland of the Bug Race.

The last time Bai E was on the front line, when the rockets flew over his head and dispersed across the vast battlefield, he only felt that human firepower was so weak.

Now, whether it was due to expanded equipment or the fact that the grouped rockets were all concentrated together, from behind the rows of V3 rocket launchers, Bai E realized for the first time that human firepower was not inferior to that of the Smart Machinery Factory where he had charged alone, and it may even be much more powerful.

To ensure the intensity of the strike, the rocket launchers fired in sequences. As one salvo was launched, the next round of rockets was already rising from the launchers' racks.

The retaliation from the Bug Race was equally fierce; blue energy streams easily shredded human armored vehicles, and Bai E occasionally caught glimpses of small mushroom clouds igniting amidst the distant human military formations.

Even in broad daylight, the skies were alight with fire!

The unceasing artillery bombardment shook the earth and masked signals that were already difficult to detect...

Beneath the ground at fixed intervals, special sonar devices scanned the earth beneath the military formation. Those bugs moving deep underground were not entirely untraceable.
