Li Changzhou reached out and grabbed the smoothbore cannon.

The spine, where lightning resides, glows faintly. With a surge of power in his arms and a tense of his muscles, his hands transform from flesh and blood into steel and iron.

With a push of his feet and a tug of his hand, the smoothbore cannon was torn off, and the scorpion mech was sent flying.

With a gentle exertion of his waist and abdomen, Li Changzhou stood up.

Everywhere you look, there are mechanical wrecks, flames left after the explosion, and the land, blackened by the shells, still retains warmth.

The traces of the battle stretched from the plain where Li Changzhou was located into the forest to the northwest.

{Duchy of Lesstein... Platoon Leader of the 2nd Platoon, 3rd Company, 1st Battalion, 6th Regiment, 3rd Division... Daytime Weiss}

"Sizzle... sizzle..."

Sparks flew from the cannon mount on the back of the scorpion mech, its eyes flashing red alarm lights as it tried to stand up.

Li Changzhou swung his arm and tossed the smoothbore cannon out like trash.

Peng!

The smoothbore cannon pressed down on the scorpion mech's back again, completely crushing the six legs that were about to stand up.

Engine oil flowed from the scorpion mech, drawing words on the ground.

[Time: Early summer, 1678]

Location: The border between the Duchy of Lesstein and the Empire of Insolde

[Background: The war between the Empire and the Duchy is drawing to a close. The Duchy's princess is to be married off to the Empire's heir. You were selected as one of the escorts for the marriage due to your bravery on the battlefield. However, you were ambushed by an unknown mecha force on the border. You are the only survivor of the rearguard.]

Main Quest: Revenge!

[Mission Objective: Destroy the three Imperial mechs: 'Judgment', 'Extinction', and 'Crimson Lotus']

[Note: No one can survive after provoking you! Unless you're dead (crossed out)]

Li Changzhou raised his left hand and spread his five fingers towards the void.

"Um?"

The void did not open its eyes.

On the identity card, the colors for Gemini Bond Summoning and Photo Transmission have turned gray, just like in the Honey Pot World of 1928.

Concentrating my consciousness, I received a notification—teleportation and spatial abilities are prohibited in this world.

Contract: King Cobra

It was four meters long, covered in black and gold, with a golden crown, and hissed as it flicked its tongue, as it swam out of the void.

"Don't summoning skills belong to teleportation and spatial manipulation?"

Li Changzhou raised his head, his gaze falling on the wreckage of the scorpion mech whose red light had been extinguished.

"It doesn't seem like a world where visualization is possible."

At this moment, the snow mountain water bottle in his backpack was taken away, and he breathed a sigh of relief, which meant that Li Qianxia was safe and with Yang Qinglan.

Li Changzhou opened his hand, took out the blood-red steel spear, and then returned it.

After confirming that they were both safe, Li Changzhou opened his palm and the Emerald Bee Sword slid into it.

"bite!"

The sword, thin enough to fit between fingertips, struck a piece of mechanical wreckage at his feet, producing a hard, resounding impact.

Li Changzhou frowned slightly. If he couldn't even cut down these roadside mechs, how could he possibly deal with the Imperial mechs that sounded like ace units?

He switched to another machine, and it was a bit difficult to cut in, but he still managed to squeeze it in.

When I went back to cut the first one, the tip of my sword went in a little bit.

Following this method, Li Changzhou transformed into a swordsmith, using the remains on the battlefield to continuously improve the hardness and sharpness of the Emerald Bee Sword.

If it weren't for the fact that the "One Weapon Through One" skill only improves the weapon's hardness and sharpness, the indestructible Desert Eagle would be a better fit for this skill than the Emerald Bee Sword—the Desert Eagle itself also has a flaw: it's too short.

By the time Li Changzhou left the small battlefield with the King Cobra on guard duty, the Emerald Bee Sword was already able to easily cut down all the mechs behind him.

Although these things are "roadside mechs", they are very strong. One side is the princess's guard, and the other side is the guard who dares to ambush the princess. Even if they are not top-notch, they are at least first-class and second-class.

Li Changzhou headed towards the forest in the northwest.

Based on the game's hints, it's easy to deduce that when "you" were protecting the princess, you were attacked by three Imperial mechs: "Judgment," "Extinction," and "Crimson Lotus."

Since that's the case, as long as we continue to follow the princess and use her as bait, we will naturally be able to see those three mechs again.

The princess is also a key figure, and may even trigger side quests.

"Sigh." Li Changzhou, who was speeding through the forest like a cannonball, couldn't help but sigh again.

No matter how many missions he completes, what can this world give him in return? An Imperial mech?

...It seems pretty good.

Imagine taking the subway back in time, wielding an Imperial mech with unlimited ammo and a heavy machine gun, and single-handedly destroying a nation.

As his momentum slowed, Li Changzhou slightly bent his legs and straightened them.

The ground looked as if it had been hit by a meteorite, with dents, cracks, and fissures!

"Bang!"

With a burst of powerful muscle power, his speed instantly returned, leaving the surrounding trees as afterimages.

Even at such high speeds, Li Changzhou was still able to easily avoid trees that were inches away.

Can mechs do this?

It's just a toy.

All the chickens and dogs should be chopped up.

The next moment, almost instinctively, Li Changzhou twisted his body violently, releasing all his momentum, and then lay down on the ground as if trying to squeeze himself into the soil.

"Sizzle!"

boom!

A beam of red, high-temperature light swept overhead, causing countless trees to fly and, with a thunderous roar, tree trunks rained down to the ground.

Li Changzhou stood up from among the leaves. Before him, half of the forest had been cleared, leaving only tree trunks and stumps scattered on the ground.

Out of the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of a figure and turned to look.

You have discovered the mission objective: Crimson Lotus.

...You call this a mecha? Are you sure it's not Ultraman or a monster?
