Chapter 213

On the Dawn spacecraft, the moment the coordinates inside the ice cave changed, everyone reacted immediately.

"How is it possible!? Most of the GBK mechas should have been in the cave on the other side—" Brother Zhang turned his head and asked the staff, "Didn't only Bai Xuyan escape?"

"Bai Xuyan followed Alice. His control teammate had been investigating the situation near the ice cave. Bai Xuyan was very close to Alice. He followed Alice as soon as he found our coordinates." Jiang Simiao checked the mecha's movement route. "He cleverly used Alice to help her dig a path and retreat from the melee. GBK's control teammate didn't enter the melee area. He was always wandering outside the ice cave. I'm afraid he had prepared a retreat route for Bai Xuyan since he found our coordinates."

The Black Crow leader said: "That means GBK has been keeping an eye on us, otherwise they wouldn't leave GBK control outside."

"GBK is in charge of the reconnaissance?" Brother Zhang: "That's not right, why are there three mechas?"

"The other one is a GBK stealth mecha." The staff member said, "Its movement trajectory is too tricky. Its coordinates have been overlapping with those of others, and it has arrived at the snowy mountains right under the radar."

GBK Hidden, that is, GBK Captain, Claude.

——This is a stealth mecha that is extremely good at assassination.

This mecha master had not participated in the competition for the snow mountain from the beginning, but now he has joined Bai Xuyan and arrived at the snow mountain area.

GBK had fought against them in Kolya and naturally knew some of their methods.

Bai Xuyan seemed to have entered the cave and got caught up in the melee, but in fact he kept an eye out and coordinated with others outside. Whether something happened to KID or he was surrounded by other teams, he was ready to retreat. Not only was he retreating, he was probably also trying to confuse others so that Claude could mobilize troops at the first opportunity.

Shen Xingtang immediately locked onto the three coordinates that suddenly approached, and his expression instantly became gloomy.

Four mechas used in the Star Alliance Tournament, three GBK mechas in service in the Star Alliance Tournament, a strong teammate of the Star Alliance No. 5, and one is SLY captain Alice...all are S-class mechas. This work is by

"We can't stop them." Brother Zhang looked at the coordinates in the ice cave. The coordinates of the four mechas were right in front of him. "It's bad."

In the Slared Ice Cave, when the three GBK mechas entered the ice cave area, Alice, who was holding the Giant Mountain Hammer, sneered disdainfully. She knew that there were a few followers following her, and when she saw Bai Xuyan helping her blast open the ice wall, she didn't say much.

"Claude, you came quite quickly." Alice said.

GBK's captain Claude was not a talkative person. He did not respond to Alice, but rushed straight towards KID's mecha which was dozens of meters away.

Huo Yan blocked it immediately, and when his shield was in front of Claude, the stealth mecha disappeared in front of him like a ghost. He was stunned for a moment, and swept to the side with his shield in his backhand. When he looked up, he saw countless sickles falling from high above.

Those sickles were equipped with sharp daggers, which made a clanging sound when they hit the shield. The next second, Claude's mecha rushed to one of the daggers and hit Huo Yan's shield again.

It was too fast, or it was impossible to predict his movements.

Colin said in a deep voice: "Oh no, it's Claude's most commonly used weapon."

Ghost Shadow Step and Hundred Refined Locks, the former can hide the body freely and disappear, and the latter can control nearly a hundred sickle daggers at the same time. Combined with the Ghost Shadow Step, it can achieve all-round coverage and killing in a short period of time, and there is no possibility of misjudgment.

Stealth mechas are good at concealment, not to mention the assassination-style stealth that takes concealment to the extreme.

Claude did not continue fighting with Huo Yan. Instead, he jumped over Huo Yan after hitting him and rushed straight towards Hu Luobu, who had the strongest attack ability among the four mechas.

At the same time as Claude took action, Bai Xuyan and GBK Control also took action in the distance. Lu Xi didn't care about anything else. She immediately spread a spider web in the cave. However, the moment her spider web was spread out, Bai Xuyan's ice sniper cannon blasted over and knocked down all her spider silk.

Hu Luobu had just turned off the communication while cursing. When he saw the other party rushing over, he threw the energy tube out with one hand, switched to the tracking cannon and fired at the energy tube, "Huo Yan, get out of the way!"

The explosion of the energy tube spread throughout the cave, and Claude retreated several steps upon seeing this.

Lu Xi retreated and immediately switched to the enhanced cannon. The enhanced cannon kept up with Hu Luobu's tracking cannon and fiercely bombarded forward.

With flexible exchange of bombardment, the four mechas were barely controlled in the front. Huo Yan retreated to Hu Luobu in the chaos. Colin's conductive chain balls spread rapidly in the cave and were distributed in front of the four mechas.

Alice was watching from the side. When she saw Claude retreat, she whistled in surprise. "Interesting. Good job on dual control."

Claude said nothing coldly, but Bai Xuyan, who was standing behind him, had already switched to another weapon. A special cannon-shaped weapon appeared in his hand. When the cannon-shaped weapon was fired, the shells instantly turned into full-coverage scatter shells. Together with the freezing shells fired by GBK on the side, when they hit Colin's conductive chain balls, they quickly froze the chain balls and dropped them to the ground.

Lu Xi's pupils shrank: "Frozen the conductive chain ball?"

Ke Lin frowned: "Xiao Hu!"

"They can freeze, but I can thaw them!" Without saying a word, Hulubu cut out a jet gun, rushed to the front and started spraying. A huge source of fire suddenly spurted out of the jet gun. The powerful fire energy melted the ice on the chain ball on the ground. The conductive chain ball flew up again, tightly blocking a road.

When the four enemy mechas appeared on the radar coordinates, YDS and KID were already prepared to fight the enemy at the first possible moment. Unfortunately, none of their four mechas were prepared to fight against four Covenant mechas at the same time. In the previous league history of Dawn, the only mecha teams that were fortunate enough to participate in the Covenant competition and were eliminated early were Gale and Black Crow.

GKB is a team that specializes in ice-type weapons when they first held a combat meeting.

Colin had already prepared for this and asked Hu Luobu to give up his displacement weapons and carry fire weapons that could restrain ice.

Just him

We made full preparations, but still fell behind when facing the powerful GBK. At the moment when Hu Luobu thawed the chain ball, the GBK-controlled mecha farther away switched to another controlled weapon. When that controlled weapon blasted over, a bunch of strange ice bubble balls. When Hu Luobu's fire jet hit those ice bubble balls, the attack seemed to become a series of refracted counterattacks, which suddenly blasted across the entire space!

"Shit! A counter-injury ball!?" Hu Luobu was burned by his own fire.

Lu Xi was stunned: "Their weapons are so powerful."

And in this chaos, Claude took action again. He nimbly passed through the explosion and got close to Carob again. Hu Luobu had no time to dodge and just when he thought he was about to be attacked, a knife suddenly came from the side. Huo Yan's knife did not hit Claude, but aimed at Hu Luobu and directly shook him away.

Hu Luobu: "Boss Huo! It's just in time!"

Huo Yan: "Be careful, don't let anyone get too close to you."

Colin took this opportunity to switch to the magnetic cannon to blast Claude back, but the next second he suddenly noticed something and hurriedly switched to the conductive chain ball.

While they were avoiding Claude's attack, another change suddenly occurred on the field. While the two sides were fighting fiercely, Alice, who was watching, seized the opportunity. She used her giant hammer to crack the ground, slid down the slope, and jumped directly into the ice abyss covered with roots.

"She took advantage of us." Bai Xuyan gritted his teeth.

Claude looked indifferent: "Alice is the captain of SLY. When you use her, she has also used you."

In the Star Alliance ranking, SLY led by Alice ranks fourth. SLY is not just a reckless and violent team.

Without any strategy, the other party would not have been able to lead the team to this point. She knew that the Shuguang team was on guard, and since the other SLY teammates hadn't arrived yet, she could only use GBK who had the same goal.

Alice's movements were so fast that Shuguang and the GBK people didn't have time to react. Alice jumped into the ice and disappeared without a trace.

Colin's chain ball was a step late and failed to stop Alice. He quickly switched positions and guarded the break in the ice, his face completely cold.

"Oh no." Hu Luobu hurriedly communicated with Zhao Lejie downstairs and conveyed the news of Alice's escape.

But even so, without Alice, they couldn't gain the upper hand in the battle against GBK.

Huo Yan felt bad. None of their four mechas had the chance to attack GBK's two long-range mechas at close range. Their only source of output, Hu Luobu, was being closely watched by GBK captain Claude. With the two long-range mechas assisting, they would be passively trapped in the opponent's rhythm. "We have to think of a way."

"We can't compete with the other side in combat capability, so we can only waste time." Colin said.

Huo Yan understood the other party's thoughts, "What do you mean?"

"Captain Huo, you protect Xiao Hu. I'll be in the front and Lu Xi will be in the back." Colin knew there was no other way. "Xiao Hu will be responsible for thawing, and Lu Xi will help me expand the control. Claude is indeed very strong, but the ice cave here has a very limited range."

In terms of combat, they cannot beat GBK, but in terms of control and delay, this is what YDS is best at.

When GBK saw Alice entering the lower ice cave, GBK Control just wanted to end the battle quickly. Just when he locked the position and wanted to launch a bombardment to break through, Claude next to him suddenly stopped him.

The usually calm GBK captain Claude noticed the change in the position of the Dawn Mech. He looked a little deeper and said, "The way of fighting has changed."

Bai Xuyan's gaze lingered on the guard mecha that controlled the transmission chain ball for a moment, "Dawn Galaxy YDS, fourth in this galaxy competition."

The intersection between GBK and the Dawn Galaxy is mainly in the Coria contaminated area, and among the four mecha teams of Dawn, the only mecha team they have never fought head-on is YDS.

When the red and white tank mecha landed in front, the gun mecha fell within his protection range. Claude frowned deeply when he saw this, and moved to attack Huo Yan's side protection range. At the same time he moved, the two Dawn mechas on the left and right suddenly moved, and the conductive chain balls followed him closely, and the spider silk stuck to the ice wall from top to bottom to block it.

GBK's control mecha captured this and once again cooperated with Bai Xuyan to freeze a large number of floating conductive chain balls. As soon as the freezing bombs were released, the YDS gun's jet and the KID tank's anti-damage shield acted at the same time, instantly blocking the rebounding attack.

Claude realized something was wrong and took a step back. The conductive chain ball on the ice moved again, coordinating with the spider silk that was shattered all over the ground, and instantly formed a net of thunder and lightning in front of them!

The three GBK mechas retreated. These were obviously mechas from two teams, but they were able to react in the first moment and carry out counter-control against them.

Claude said in a deep voice: "There is a commander among these four mechas, a commander who is good at controlling tactics--"

The combat method of the four Dawn mechas changed again. When they retreated, the YDS gun mecha changed to the tracking gun again. When he switched to the tracking gun, the KID-controlled mecha that used the spider silk cannon actually switched to the enhancement gun, which amplified the attack of the YDS guns and cannons in the first time. Bai Xuyan stepped back and fired an ice sniper cannon at the YDS gun position. The next second, the KID tank stood in front of the gun and blocked the ice sniper cannon back.

Bai Xuyan frowned and said, "Switching between two routines at the same time."

"It seems like there is more than one commander. These four mecha divisions have a good sense of the overall situation." Claude said.

They belong to two different teams, but they can cooperate with each other at the first moment.

This is not just a matter of commanding operations. The key lies in the fact that the four mechas can change their tactics and intercept according to their actions, which requires each mecha division to have strong reaction capabilities. Whether it's the YDS guards who serve as the main controller, the KID tanks that provide mobile protection, the YDS guns that seize the opportunity to break through and attack... or the KID controller who can switch postures at any time to coordinate with different mechas, these people have a strong sense of the overall situation.

The conductive chain ball floated up again, and the four Dawn mechas stayed on the ice cave fault and would not retreat even a bit.

Under the Slared ice layer, after receiving the communication from Hulubu, the three melee mechas that were fighting had jointly cut off the three main roots. This also angered the Blue Heart. After the main root was broken, it wanted to restore it. The other roots lifted up the main root that fell on the ground, trying to reconnect the broken roots.

Chi Liz, who had been coordinating on the side, would not let the pollutant succeed. After breaking up the roots of the pollutant with one shot, he fired again.

More and more roots were returning from the surrounding area. Blue Heart seemed to realize that the prey in front of it was difficult to deal with, and was recalling its roots from all over Slared to protect it.

"Alice, come down from above." Zhao Lejie was in charge of contacting the higher-ups. "Our time is even tighter."

"She needs time, too." Qi Sicheng knew that although the ice fault was not blocked by ice, it was covered with a large number of plant roots. No matter how outstanding Alice's abilities were, it would take time to deal with the violent plant roots.

Lin Yao chopped the taproot again. "The strong team's reaction ability is too strong. We used so many tricks to buy back time, but they caught up so quickly."

"The difference in strength." Wen Yi: "They are a strong team that always stays in the Star Alliance Tournament."

Being able to enter the Star Alliance competition, the strong combat readiness resources behind the mecha base is indeed an important reason, but apart from this reason, these mecha masters who can stand out and stand in the vision of the Star Alliance are all chosen by heaven, and they have the capital to be proud. The development of Dawn is indeed far behind them.

"Can Lao Hu and the others stop GBK?" Zhao Lejie was a little worried.

Ji Qingfeng: "Ah! How can you say such discouraging words like you?"

"I'm not saying this to discourage you. If Colin and his men can stop GBK, there won't be any spare manpower left to stop the others." Wen Yi said, "We are at a prominent location on the map. Everyone can come to us. We can only think of a way to solve the problem before they get here."

The magnetic field underground affects the performance of some mechas, but they can clearly see the coordinates of the approaching strong team. The coordinates of SLY Alice continued to fall directly above them. The speed was not fast, but it was moving forward steadily. Above them, the coordinates of Dawn and GBK overlapped, and it was obvious that they had entered into a battle.

Ying Chenlin's sight stopped beyond these coordinates. Some strong teams were on the other side of the ice cave, but the coordinates of PJT on the ice layer remained unchanged. PJT's failure to move was an unknown event. Ying Chenlin was not sure what Norbert's purpose was. As long as the other party stayed near the snow-capped mountains, he would be their potential opponent. ◆

Outside of PJT...the Third WHG of the Star Alliance has almost reached the edge of the snow mountain using space displacement. At this displacement speed, they can reach the top of the ice cave in two and a half hours. WHG's spatial displacement is a predictable path of action. What makes Ying Chenlin feel strange is EM. He cannot see EM's movements at the moment.

"But we should be able to speed up, right?" Ji Qingfeng and Lin Yao were already cutting the taproots faster. "It took them two and a half hours to get above us. If we speed up, we should be able to cut off all the taproots."

"This thing won't die in a short time." You Su suddenly said.

Ying Chenlin looked at You Su: "What do you mean?"

"The taproot is the main way for it to control the roots. If one is cut off, it can still control the others." You Su saw the blue heart that was still growing in his scope. "Its evolution speed is not fast, but its growth speed is very fast. It is very likely that if we switch all the taproots, this pollutant can still survive."

The difficulty of the problem was once again placed before them. If they had enough time, they would completely study how to kill the pollutant. In the absence of time, they could only bite the bullet and cut off all the taproots... But what if the thing didn't die after cutting off all the taproots?

Doesn't that mean they have done the hardest work, and the rest is left for the strong teams to reap the rewards! ?

Ying Chenlin said: "Can you control the two main roots in the same direction?"

It is already very difficult to attack one main root, let alone two at the same time.

But what happens after two hits? ? The time we can control is limited. It's so difficult to cut one, how can we cut two?

The two gunner mecha masters did not refuse. The silence in the channel lasted only two seconds. You Su suddenly shortened the distance to the pollutant. The entire mecha flew into the air. He readjusted the diameter of the energy cannon, and then suddenly switched to a sniper cannon to bombard in that direction. Wen Yi followed You Su's rhythm, and just when two shells were fired again, Ying Chenlin, who was in front of the Blue Heart, seized the opportunity and acted.

"Knock in seconds?!" Qi Sicheng paused.

Mecha Yuan and the two guns moved at the same time. At the moment when You Su switched to energy artillery bombardment, Ying Chenlin rushed into the gap without hesitation. The mecha's silver sword was tempered and while cutting a main root, he flipped back along the root's attack and hit the root behind again.

All everyone saw was the tempered silver sword slashing twice in the air like a wheel, changing position while avoiding the roots to complete the second attack. The whole action was smooth and the timing was exquisitely grasped.

"Two-stage sword." Lin Yao immediately understood what kind of attack Ying Chenlin was using and said, "My father taught me the two-stage sword technique before."

Seeing this, Ji Qingfeng looked sideways and said, "Did your father teach you something so awesome?"

Lin Yao: "My family teaches us everything, but I think the sword is still short and it's not as comfortable to wield as a knife."

In cold weapon combat, the energy and force applied to the mecha's weapons will also affect the overall movement of the mecha. The first strike can achieve 100% attack effect, but the second strike can hardly achieve the precise control effect of the first sword due to the short period of energy gathering. However, the mecha pilot can use the changes in body shape to provide enough swinging time to exert the power of the second sword.

But this takes time, so Ying Chenlin chose to stop in the first place.

He completely trusts his teammates, not his teammates controlling him.

Instead of acting only when you have the ability, you should act at the same time as your teammates do. This way you can gain nearly a second of operating space.

Theo's eyes lit up, "Shen Lin trusts us so much!"

You Su's eyes darkened a little, "Ying Chenlin, come again."

Ying Chenlin did not stop when he heard You Su's voice. His eyes quickly locked onto You Su's changing position. He found the attack point again at the moment the opponent's position changed, instantly avoided the attack of the roots, and flexibly switched directions.

Lin Yao cut in with excitement. He also knew how to use the two-stage attack. After seeing Ying Chenlin's operation, he also understood how to buy time: "I'll do it too. Brother You can give me two shots!"

Ji Qingfeng went on with a stiff upper lip: “Do you have to be so curly?”

When Qi Sicheng and Wen Yi saw this, they instantly understood that firing two shots would indeed take a lot of time, but it could reduce the time by nearly one-third, leaving at least an hour of reaction time, which was indeed a way to buy time.

But when they were about to do so, they heard Ying Chenlin say to Ji Qingfeng: "Qingfeng, you have another mission."

Ji Qingfeng paused: "What do you mean?"

"Go forward." Ying Chenlin marked an unfamiliar location in the cave, "Go as far as you can."

In the first control room of the Star Alliance mission, the staff who were analyzing the special underground pollutants in the Slared contaminated area recently detected some strange energy. Among the densely packed environmental energy reports, the active energy information wrapped in the mixed energy reports was very strange. The strange signs and special detection reactions had never been recorded in the database and were difficult to detect.

The special energy reaction underground in Slarede attracted the attention of most Covenant researchers. After analyzing this energy, the detection information of the Covenant Special Research Institute was immediately transmitted to the Covenant Mission First Control Room. After seeing the data information feedback, the faces of all the staff members changed instantly.

The liaison officer immediately contacted the top leader, "Commander! The report on the supernatural reaction of the pollutant underground in Slarede has been sent back, and it is different from what we predicted."

"It's not a manipulation ability?!" The commander walked over quickly, his eyes fixed on the energy report, "Explain clearly."

The staff member said: "It's not a control system. It seems to be controlling all the roots to move, but those roots are almost its instinctive activities. They are innate abilities, not supernatural powers."

The other voices in the control room became quieter, and the adjutant standing next to him retorted: "The entire Slarede is its root. If it is not a manipulation-type ability, it cannot achieve large-scale control. Instincts also need ability support. Even if its pollution value is high, instincts cannot affect the entire Slarede."

The staff member hesitated to speak, and he was also surprised.

Because this violates the pollutant behavior rules.

The commander frowned and said, "Go on, if it's instinct, how do you control it?"

"...We were also surprised, but the results we just found out show that there is a kind of energy source in the roots of this pollutant that has never been detected before."

The staff member said: "This energy source can sustain itself in a short period of time and provide powerful control over the pollutant."

Renewable energy! ? The commander asked, "Is it a regeneration ability?"

"No, we've tested it, it's not within the scope of regeneration." The staff compared the energy reaction they adjusted with the regeneration in the data. The regeneration ability requires the pollutant to be self-driven, but the energy of this pollutant does not have the ability to regenerate itself. Such an energy reaction has never been recorded in the Covenant database.

The commander looked at the vibrant energy reaction with a solemn look in his eyes.

The staff member next to him had already said the predicted result, "The purity of this energy is the highest in the Star Alliance records, and there are other special reactions that have not been detected. The power of the pollutant may be a conversion type... It converts Slared's energy into its own power crystals to achieve self-amplification."

The author has something to say:

Here it comes, there will be more updates.

If I didn't catch it in the early morning, I'll wake up and watch it~
