Chapter 574: 452 The Dominator Arrives
The black dot moved in sync with the mecha, maintaining a fixed distance.
And before the black dot, the sea of bugs parted like the tip of an arrow, "clearing" a broad avenue.
Yue Ying's eyes shimmered slightly, a hint of a smile playing on her lips.
An officer realized something and suddenly shouted, "Zoom in for a closer look."
A technician operating the drone immediately responded "Yes," and then the screen zoomed in.
An armored vehicle... with a mechanical arm mounted on its back.
"A Mech Servant Repair Vehicle?" an officer voiced in surprise.
"No, there's a small dot on top of it."
As the image gradually enlarged, the silhouette of a person became clear.
"..."
"..."
Inside the command vehicle there was silence.
The military had high hopes for the mecha that were supposed to open the way and decapitate the enemy, but now they were stuck in the bug sea, unable to advance an inch.
Yet, a Mech Servant Repair Vehicle that wasn't even equipped with a weapon system was leading the way for the mecha.
How fresh...
The path that the mecha couldn't forge was paved by a single soldier.
What in the world kind of monstrous strength did Captain Bai have?
They always thought they had seen the extent of Captain Bai's abilities, but every time a new challenge arose, Captain Bai was always, well, Captain Bai.
"It's not right!" Someone suddenly realized the issue, "Is that mecha the one Captain Bai is responsible for repairing?"
Captain Bai's performance was astonishing, but the military didn't question his contribution to the city simply because of his strength.
It was whether he was willing to follow orders that concerned the higher echelons of the military.
"No."
"But we just asked, and it was the Mech Armored Corps commander who gave a temporary order for the repair team responsible for his mecha to go and assist others. The repair team with Captain Bai is the one responsible for the commander's mecha."
In short, Captain Bai had not committed any infraction this time.
Although the current operations were making everyone's eyelids twitch.
You are a Mech Servant, a member of a repair team; you are the logistical support for the mecha.
No one ever said a Mech Servant should be leading mecha into a frenzied slaughter.
...
"Go ahead..." Bai E, cutting through the sea of bugs, said cheerfully over the Mech Armored Corps' comms to the mech pilot inside the mecha.
Unable to participate in the war in mecha form, he could still ensure that these mecha, difficult to deliver to the needed battlefront, arrived where they were supposed to be.
"Tha... thank you~"
The mech pilot inside the guided mecha's cockpit responded with a slightly trembling voice, "We, we're going."
"Good luck!" Bai E waved toward their transparent viewport, then slapped the metal hood of the vehicle below, "Hey! Turn around!"
"Huh?" The two Mech Servants inside were slightly startled, glancing back through the rearview mirror at the endless sea of the Bug Race, "Turn around?"
They had already made it to the very rear of the Bug Race's lines, where there was a gap between the low-level bug surge point and the true main nest of the bugs; that's where they were located.
Though a few bugs smelling the repair team emerged from their underground lairs instants later, holding one's ground still seemed easier and more secure than turning back and weaving through the swarm again.
Moreover...
"Aren't there mecha over there that also need repairs?"
Above the vast battlefield where the Thunder Beasts were decapitated, under the attack of "Bug Nest Guardians" colored crimson, several mecha had completely fallen.
Some were not so severely damaged and still had a chance to be saved.
"That's not a battlefield we can partake in." Bai E glanced in the direction of the enormous crimson beasts.
Without the boost of a mecha, he didn't have confidence with only his body to take on those three crimson giants.
"Let's head back, turn around."
Bringing more mecha to the battlefield with the giants was the most he could do in his current role.
The driver Mech Servants reluctantly complied, "Understood."
The vehicle turned around, and with a rumbling engine noise, dove back into the teeming sea of bugs.
...
"Everyone behind, hurry up and follow!" Enor gritted his teeth and roared over the comms.
Seven minus two.
A total of seven Thunder Beasts; he had personally taken down one and a half.
Out of the dozen mecha that first charged in, only five remained. Tangled up with three "Bug Nest Guardians," they were no longer able to turn their attention to the remaining Thunder Beasts.
It wasn't just about being unable to spare a hand; any slight negligence would see the encirclement they formed with their five remaining mecha instantly smashed by the three brutally formidable Bug Nest Guardians.
The key was the five of them could only manage to contain, trying to minimize further losses on their side.
Facing the new type of Bug Race giants, with their chitinous armor stronger than ever, they couldn't find any method to break through the defense.
Only the mecha jointly piloted by Enor and Rose could barely maintain a position on the front line while the other four took turns providing cover.
However, this standoff couldn't continue for long. Under the assault of the relentless information stream, Enor began to feel the mechanical eye on his forehead heat up and his brain felt as if it were being stirred by several red-hot steel needles.
Faster!
Hurry the hell up!
What were they doing, entangling themselves with those low-level bugs behind?
Enor was seething with anger.
Without their mecha to kill off the Thunder Beasts, the remaining five could fire unimpeded.
If this continued, the massive push against the Bug Race would once again end in vain.
"They're here; they're here!" Mech pilots sent to the Thunder Beast's battlefield by Bai E chimed in together.
"Go kill the Thunder Beasts; don't concern yourselves with this spot!"
What do you think?
