Chapter 273
Chapter 273
At exactly 16 hours on the 11th day of the competition, the SHIELD team arrived at Area F of the outer city of the Mechanical City - the Mechanical Clock Tower area.
This area is the most complex simulated residential area in the outer city area. The buildings are clearly staggered, the streets are stepped, and the slopes are more obvious than other areas in the Mechanical City. The curved arch buildings form sunken areas. The moat diversion area of the outer city area enters the interior of the Mechanical City. Several black mechas flew through the bridge-shaped arch and landed on the street beside the bridge in the Mechanical City.
The audience in the live broadcast room observed the combat environment nearby. Among the many areas in the inner and outer cities of the mechanical city, the clock tower area was the area with the most complex terrain. The visual experience given to the audience outside the venue was very complicated. It became extremely difficult to find a mecha from a high perspective.
When the SHIELD force approached the clock tower area, it compressed the output of energy. The mecha soldiers had a very high combat awareness, reduced the sound of the thrusters, and sneaked into the clock tower area silently. They did not rashly launch an encirclement tactic with KID, but instead circled the periphery of the clock tower area to test the range trap. Several mechas moved aside one by one and surveyed the complex terrain at an extremely fast speed.
The commentator said: "SHIELD is not attacking, they are checking the surrounding environment!"
In the Asta rest area, Jiang Simiao became nervous when he saw SHIELD checking the surrounding environment. In his hand, he held a data pad that clearly recorded SHIELD's weapons information for the second half.
, This is Gu Xiaotian looking through the records of weapons used by SHIELD in the live broadcast room. They have fought with other teams...but KID has not had any direct contact with SHIELD since the second half of the battle.
It would be better if they met Zuoy now. Ji Qingfeng had already seen all of Zuoy's weapons in the melee, but the key was that they knew nothing about SHIELD.
"Brother Jiang, you seem very nervous." Gu Xiaotian noticed that Jiang Simiao was drinking water again.
"It would be strange if I'm not nervous." Jiang Simiao didn't dare to relax. His peripheral vision could not help but glance at the rest area of the SHIELD team in the distance. The head coach of the SHIELD was holding a data board with a serious expression. Jiang Simiao had seen this expression many times, whether in the first half or the second half of the game. "They pay a lot of attention to us."
It’s not scary to meet a strong team. What’s scary is to meet a strong team that knows you thoroughly.
SHIELD must have conducted tactical research on KID, and it was not a simple research... Jiang Simiao's eyes fell on the SHIELD tank involuntarily. It was rumored that Wu Qingshuang, the first commander of the First Star Region, and the SHIELD tank mecha, "They are indeed scouting the terrain. The more familiar the terrain is, the more advantageous it is for them."
Gu Xiaotian: "Does SHIELD take us too seriously?"
"We also take them seriously." Jiang Simiao's attention shifted from the Aegis to the KID mecha in the clock tower area. "Didn't you notice? Since two hours ago, the movement speed of our mecha has been slowing down."
Gu Xiaotian was puzzled.
Jiang Simiao looked at his mecha master: "Because our mecha master also noticed it."
Dawn's fans started to get nervous when they saw SHIELD approaching KID. KID's performance in the Star Domain Tournament this time has exceeded many people's expectations, but it would be best if he didn't meet the overlord of the Star Domain Tournament, SHIELD. As the overlord of the First Star Domain, SHIELD has been so powerful for so many years that so many teams have failed to pull SHIELD down from the throne. KID is very strong now, but the audience of Dawn is not confident enough to believe that KID's combat ability can be strong enough to completely compete with SHIELD.
Whether it was a strong opponent or a strong but cautious team, KID was at a disadvantage from the start.
The perspective of the live broadcast room switched to KID's side. The KID mecha in the central street of the clock tower area was moving on the middle street of the clock tower area. On their left side, the SHIELD Stealth was still tracking them regularly. She did not get too close and could only keep a certain distance to follow.
KID seemed to be shopping, wandering left and right from time to time, while the hidden ones on the sides and rear kept changing with their direction, reporting KID's position to his teammates.
[I can understand SHIELD scouting the terrain, but isn’t KID being too bold? 】
[I also want to say, why does it feel like they are strolling leisurely in the Clock Tower area? SHIELD has been following them for three hours. 】
[KID, what are you doing?] 】
The environment around the stadium was too quiet and silent.
KID walked along the moat and discovered signs of being followed not long ago.
They were all aware of the situation of the mechas of several teams in the field. There were only a handful of teams that could follow so closely and not be easily caught. Ying Chenlin had already expected to fight with SHIELD, but SHIELD came faster than they expected.
"They followed us in." Lu Xi said, "Are we following the plan?"
"Have you seen Yaobao Road carefully?" Ji Qingfeng asked.
Lin Yao confirmed again and again: "It's cooked, it won't go astray."
Huo Yan retracted his gaze: "The distance has increased a bit, the main force should be coming up, are you ready? Dafeng?"
Ji Qingfeng was originally wandering around at the front of the team, but when he heard Huo Yan's words, he immediately jumped back and grabbed Lin Yao's hand. "I've been waiting for your instructions. Come on, let's not waste time. How do we divide the team?"
"Team up in threes. Xiaoxi and I will stay here. Let the more agile ones go."
Huo Yan saw Ji Qingfeng and Lin Yao standing together, and then looked at Ying Chenlin next to him, "Come on Chenlin, you and You Su get closer."
Ying Chenlin fell behind and was pushed over before he could say anything, squeezing next to You Su.
[They are sticking too close!] ? Several mechas are stuck together. If I were Aegis, I could stop them all in place with one shot. 】
[Are the sink and trace too close? Did their hands touch each other? ? ? 】
From KID's perspective, the Dawn audience has been staring at KID for too long. Ever since SHIELD started following KID, they have been eager to remind KID that someone is following him. However, KID and his group acted as if nothing had happened. They were so idle that they even had time to play around. Several mechas gathered together and no one knew what they were talking about. In the back, two mechas were actually AFK and were being taken away by others. This is not a moat. Can they save energy to this extent by resting?
In the Asta rest area, Huluobu and Chilizi were still watching the comments. Seeing the two people who were almost stuck together, Chilizi pulled them closer and showed them to Huluo, "They were holding hands even when they were walking on the street."
Hu Luobu's face turned pale and blue, full of confusion.
"If you feel unwell, you can go to the doctor." Colin couldn't help but look at him.
Since Hu Luobu knew that the relationship between trace and sink was not simple, he found that everything he saw about KID was wrong: "... No, I suspect there is something wrong with my eyes now. Is KID a conjoined twin?"
Wen Yi heard the discussion, glanced over, and saw the perspective of Chi Liz and Hu Luobu.
The live broadcast rooms all have high-angle perspectives, and basically never get this close, but when they got closer, they saw four mechas stuck together. This kind of fitting is not about flying close, but about really fitting together with physical contact.
Wen Yi's expression changed: "There is indeed something wrong with them."
Hu Luobu breathed a sigh of relief: "So Captain Wen, you also figured it out?"
Wen Yi: “Yeah.”
Hu Luobu: "...I've noticed both trace and sink, but I didn't expect Ji Qingfeng and Lin Yao to get together this time!"
He didn't finish his words when he saw that Wen Yi and Ke Lin looked at him with something wrong in their eyes. "Isn't it?"
"I didn't tell you that." Colin said, "Their movements haven't changed in three minutes."
Hu Luobu and Chi Liz paused and looked towards the radar location.
Seeing that SHIELD was speeding up its terrain survey, the commentator in the live broadcast room saw that KID was in a disadvantageous position and had to say: "KID hasn't found SHIELD's location yet... But with the lineup of weapons SHIELD brought in this game, once they can master the terrain features, this team will become even stronger. KID can only leave this place as soon as possible. If he delays any longer, SHIELD will immediately set up an attack range for them."
SHIELD is getting closer and closer. As the level of mastery of the map increases, SHIELD is gradually moving closer to KID.
"Let's take a look at the distance between the two sides." The commentator in the live broadcast room switched the perspective as he spoke. When he switched the perspective of the live broadcast room to the public radar with a bird's-eye view, his expression suddenly froze. He looked at the coordinates on the radar in disbelief. The coordinates of SHIELD were all at the outermost edge, but at the center of their encirclement, there were only the coordinates of three KID mechas. "Wait!? What's going on!"
[Oh shit!] ? 】
[KID only has three mechas left! ? 】
The audience in the live broadcast room were also stunned and zoomed in to observe.
When they got closer, they found that there were only three KIDs operating on the street, namely tank control and stealth, while the coordinates of KID guards, medical and guns were not in the street area, but were located further back in the street area, behind the SHIELD stealth.
The weapons expert zoomed in to see several mechas and discovered that KID's mechas seemed to be flying very close to each other, but in fact they were using the blind spots between the mechas. Several mechas had superficial physical contact. Seeing this scene, he immediately reacted: "It's an illusion ball!"
KID secretly copied the several mechas that were touching each other as if they were one, reproducing the illusion of several mechas moving side by side! ∴This∴work∴is∴made∴
[Oh shit!] ? No wonder there was no other action. 】
[He can simulate the movements of a single mecha, but he can't simulate the movements of a group of mechas! 】
KID's illusion can be transformed into a cruiser-like existence. They habitually bring in that KID can only copy a single mecha individual, but in fact KID can also be transformed into a large individual in disguise, but it is difficult for a large individual to fully replicate the action details... The live broadcast room has been zooming out to observe several teams. They remember that KID can be transformed into a mecha in disguise, but they ignore that KID can be transformed into a large group of mechas in disguise!
There was no other change in the streets of the mechanical city. KID's mechas were still moving forward. The SHIELD Hidden Betty in the distance kept a distance from them. As the gaps between the opponent's movements became different, the sharp mecha master took two steps back. "Captain, the intelligence is different. KID is too idle."
Wu Qingshuang heard the report from his teammates and shouted coldly: "Evacuate immediately!"
At this moment, the SHIELD Hide in the arena suddenly noticed something, and her movements hesitated for a moment. The next second, a guard mecha fell from the sky from the top of a building in the tower area, and rushed towards the SHIELD Hide preemptively. It pushed the gravity gun forward, knocking the flexible SHIELD Hide back, and took the lead in attacking SHIELD!
"KID's guard is taking action!" The commentator's face changed slightly: "He attacked the SHIELD Stealth. KID knew that the SHIELD was approaching!"
The audience was originally watching the SHIELD attack circle gradually returning, but they didn't expect that before SHIELD launched the general attack, KID launched an attack on SHIELD, and the primary focus of the attack fell on SHIELD Hide who had been following them.
[Oh my god!] ? KID actively attacks? ? ? 】
[Now I finally understand why KID insisted on letting Yintan carry this illusion ball. A lot of tactics in the second half were based on the illusion ball. 】
[This weapon is really too buggy! ? I've seen other illusion weapons before and haven't seen such a bug. 】
[With such a complicated map, isn’t Yao a person with poor sense of direction?! ? How come he rushes so fast! ? 】
Inside the field, KID's guard was agile, and when SHIELD retreated, he followed without hesitation.
His attack route was planned in advance. Once exposed, he would quickly hide close to the shield, leaving no chance for the opponent to escape. The Aegis Stealth has a very fast movement speed due to its foot weapons, but the KID Guard carries long weapons that can control the gravity field. Among all the KID mechas, his melee pursuit ability is the strongest.
When KID's guards were entangled with SHIELD Hide, SHIELD Hide's surveillance view was cut off by the guards. Other KID mechas had already quickly approached the area where SHIELD Hide was located. The area they were heading to happened to be the area where the large SHIELD mechas were approaching, especially the KID stealth mecha. He cancelled the illusion of the original large mechas and quickly advanced towards the complex street area, approaching the location of the SHIELD team.
The audience has been watching KID's games for so long, but this is the first time they see KID attack a team at such a fast pace, and this team is the number one SHIELD in the star field.
[How come KID is so familiar with these terrains? They have never been to this area before! 】
[Did KID deliberately lure SHIELD into the clock tower area? 】
"KID has never been to this area before, but their hidden mecha's illusion ball can transform into a conjoined mecha." The commentator in the live broadcast room was very surprised to see Kid familiar with this terrain. Thinking back carefully, he suddenly got goose bumps. "It's easy to be discovered if multiple mechas are inactive for a long time, but if there are only two mechas, it's hard for us to find them."
KID's original mechas were very close to each other, and several coordinates were almost overlapping in the public perspective. When there were no other mechas approaching from a long distance, the live broadcast room rarely zoomed in on the map to observe the radar displays of other areas. In other words, at a time when the live broadcast room might not have noticed, KID had already used a hidden special illusion weapon to quietly release a mecha to search the terrain.
Only 1 out of 6 mechas is not
Action, it is difficult for the audience or S.H.I.E.L.D. to notice the difference. No wonder KID slowed down his movement after entering the clock tower area. They had already sent a mecha to survey the surrounding terrain under the nose of S.H.I.E.L.D.
This time the audience realized that KID's guards were able to get close to the opponent so quickly. KID had already anticipated the approach of SHIELD's hidden and made tactical arrangements in advance!
"KID has already observed and explored the terrain, so they must launch a quick attack."
The commentator said: "SHIELD is familiar with long-distance routes, but the street routes in the area where KID is currently located are not fully explored by other SHIELD mecha pilots!"
In other words, KID not only knows SHIELD's movements, they also have more terrain intelligence than SHIELD.
In the venue, several mechas of KID were quickly moving towards the location of SHIELD.
The red and white mechas quickly shuttled through the complex streets, quickly checking the conditions of the surrounding streets and moving towards the location of the SHIELD mechas. After receiving the notification from SHIELD's hidden Betty, SHIELD quickly returned, but Kid acted even faster. In less than 10 minutes, both teams confirmed each other's movements in the area where their vision intersected.
"Captain Wu, it was my reconnaissance mistake." said the SHIELD hidden mecha master.
Wu Qingshuang's eyes fell on the mecha flashing by on the street not far away, and her face was calm: "It's not surprising, you have been following them for too long, it would be suspicious if they didn't notice."
She said calmly, "Fight them and determine all the weapons intelligence."
[But SHIELD arrived later. KID didn't get close to them, so how did he know where SHIELD was! ? 】
Knowing the terrain is one thing, but how can one know the location of the SHIELD mecha? The audience was puzzled. KID did not have any positioning weapons, so it should not be able to lock on the general direction of the SHIELD mecha so accurately.
The Dawn Mecha Division was also surprised by KID's way of fighting. They could understand the use of the illusion ball, but they did not understand how KID could quickly lock the position of the SHIELD Mecha.
"It's SHIELD Hidden." Wen Yi called up all the playback images, analyzed them one by one, and said, "SHIELD Hidden's activity route is on the top floor of a high-rise building. This way of observation can clearly observe the situation on each street, but her field of vision is limited. In order to ensure that SHIELD can approach without being discovered by Kid, the street area represented by her position is the area where SHIELD may advance."
When a single mecha conducts reconnaissance, one area on the left and right sides of the mecha is the enemy, and the other area is teammates. This will provide the best and broadest field of view for teammates during reconnaissance. For KID, who had already locked onto the location of SHIELD's hiding place, by determining the location of SHIELD's hiding place and his own side, he could lock onto the area where SHIELD would attack the fastest, thereby locking onto the location of SHIELD's large force.
Colin: "KID already knew that he would fight SHIELD, and he was already prepared for them."
In the arena, the mechas of both teams met in the complex clock tower area. Rarely, all the mechas of both teams did not gather together, but were scattered around the complex clock tower area in disorder, without a formed team formation. When they met, KID tank Huo Yan was the first to discover the SHIELD Guards.
The SHIELD Guard was holding a special gun in his hand. The moment he saw Huo Yan, the gun fired countless small round bubbles with electric light. Huo Yan reacted quickly and used his shield to block it. The small bubbles exploded in front of him. He dodged them and slashed at them with his sword.
The two melee mechas attacked at close range, trying to find out each other's weapon intelligence.
"Aegis Guard is a shield gun weapon, and his lightning gun has high attack and high control."
Huo Yan reminded: "Be careful."
[The pace of this battle is too fast!] ? 】
[My eyes can hardly keep up. Are these two teams going to use their ultimate moves as soon as they meet?! 】
In the arena, KID tanks were engaged in a head-on battle with SHIELD Guards, while several other mechas were rapidly closing in on the complex street area. Soon, KID controlling the mecha Lu Xi discovered SHIELD's tank mecha, captain Wu Qingshuang, in the corner. When she saw the opponent, she did not risk getting close, but chose to quickly distance herself and test each other with SHIELD's tanks, choosing to use the enhanced cannon in SHIELD's known intelligence, without exposing other weapons.
KID's attack was fast and fierce, and had disrupted part of SHIELD's deployment. Among the weapons they exposed, except for Ji Qingfeng's illusion ball and Lin Yao's gravity gun, the others were basically conventional weapons or weapons known to SHIELD, so they were not afraid of being known and targeted by SHIELD.
The audience was also surprised to see this. They had seen SHIELD attack other teams head-on, but this was the first time they saw SHIELD being so cautious.
[Is SHIELD a little too nervous? 】
[They are not nervous. They wanted to take the initiative but were attacked head-on by KID. Before they could even arrange their tactics, they were locked on by KID. 】
[I rarely see SHIELD encounter a passive situation. KID's main attack is awesome. 】
[How strange, won’t their other mechas take action? 】
"Both sides' attacks were very cautious." The commentator saw that each side had three mechas already in direct combat, and couldn't help but focus his attention on the other mechas. Except for the KID tank guard control and the SHIELD stealth tank guard, the other mechas did not encounter each other head-on.
There was no encounter, but KID's guns and SHIELD's guns each stayed at a suitable sniper position and did not join the frontal battlefield.
The medical staff, KID stealth and shield control of both sides did not actively join the battlefield.
"It's not that we're not joining. KID is looking for the location of SHIELD's core mecha." The commentator reacted from the battle mode of the two sides. In the video, SHIELD's medical personnel were walking alone, while SHIELD's guns and control were in the same area.
The long-range core of SHIELD is guns and cannons. KID is looking for SHIELD’s core guns and cannons.
Before the commentator finished speaking, KID Medical appeared in the field of view of the SHIELD guns and cannons. "Kid Medical has entered the field of view of the guns and cannons first!"
"The front battlefield is now at a stalemate. Joining in will only lead to a passive state of exposing weapons. Aegis is already in a passive state. It is impossible to actively expose it without finding an advantageous position... So both sides are on guard against the core."
The three mechas that KID did not appear are core capable of being main attackers in terms of guns, medical care, and stealth, so the SHIELD must be defended.
When KID the medic appeared, the SHIELD controller subconsciously moved backwards and quickly advanced towards another supporting position of his own guns and artillery. He was extremely alert to KID the medic and did not risk attacking.
[I think something is wrong!] ? 】
[KID, are your guns aimed at this side?!] ? 】
It’s just that the SHIELD did not launch an attack on KID’s medical care, but Kid’s guns and cannons at a more distant position were always paying attention to his teammates.
As long as KID Medical keeps moving, the poor visibility between buildings will be exposed, and the two Aegis mechas that appear at inopportune times can be discovered at suitable sniper points.
You Su locked the position in the scope, "Aegis gun coordinates locked."
Suddenly, KID's sniper cannon was fully charged and aimed directly at the location of the SHIELD gun at a high position. The compression storm broke out instantly and hit the high-rise viewing window of a building in the Mechanical City. The audience only saw the sniper cannon beams streaking across the sky, and then heard the sound of special glass breaking, and the SHIELD guns located on the inner layer of the building moved backwards to avoid the frontal attack.
The pace was so fast that the commentators in the live broadcast room couldn't react, "Wait?! When did KID hide to this position!!"
The positions of KID's three mechas subtly form a triangle. The farthest one is KID's gun, and the one exposed to the view is KID's medical.
While in the blind spot of the two mechas' attacks, KID used the illusion ball to quietly approach the SHIELD guns.
When KID's gun attack was dodged by the SHIELD gun, KID's hidden Ji Qingfeng suddenly appeared in the inner layer of the building where the SHIELD gun was hidden. He took the moment when the opponent dodged and cancelled the effect of the illusion ball's concealment, switching to a scimitar for close combat.
【wrong! I can’t go up! 】
[SHIELD Gunner holds that weapon! 】
Kid's stealth attack was very fast, and the speed at which the scimitar approached was flawless, getting stuck in the back of the neck of the Aegis gunner.
When Ji Qingfeng chopped down with his sword, the mecha in front of him exploded instantly, forming a violent explosion around him without any blind spots. The shattering sound resounded through the sky, and KID hid and fell directly out of the building.
"What's going on!?" Huo Yan paused.
Luxi scanned the battle situation: "The SHIELD guns exploded!?"
[The mecha exploded?] ? ? 】
The commentator shouted urgently: "It's not an explosion, it's a dummy bomb of the SHIELD gun."
In the distance, Wu Qingshuang, who was observing the battle, heard the explosion and seemed to have expected it. She said slowly, "Lock on KID and hide him. Kill him first."
The author has something to say:
There will be additional updates. If there is no update around 12 am, it will be at 12 noon tomorrow.
I won’t stay up late to write. If I can finish it, I’ll update tonight. If I can’t finish it, I’ll probably update it tomorrow at noon.
Don’t wait!
