"What kind of monster is this..."
Pei Ji sat in the cockpit, staring closely at the strange mecha covered with scales in front of him.
Under the moonlight, it looked like some cold-blooded creature that had crawled out of the abyss or hell. Its black scales kept changing into strange colors, emitting an ominous aura.
Neither laser cannons nor bullets could penetrate that layer of worm-like scales.
Not only that, the mecha's movements were also ridiculously fast. Even with his mental strength coupled with the "Eclipse Sky" that had natural synapses, he could only barely keep up.
Considering the surrounding fleet, Pei Ji did not release all his mental power.
But the few fights just now were enough for him to realize the horror of this thing.
Pei Ji had studied Ganil's combat data in the Star Tower. Although he was considered top-notch, he was not yet able to fight him on equal terms.
But ever since he entered that mecha, he seemed like a different person. Not only was his fighting style completely different from what was recorded in the information, but even his mental strength had been greatly enhanced.
It seemed as if the mecha had its own consciousness. It was not Garnier who was controlling it, but it was controlling Garnier.
With a roar, Ganil launched another attack. His body flashed and he appeared in front of Pei Ji in the blink of an eye.
A beam of blazing energy cut through the hazy moonlight, blocking all of Pei Ji's escape routes.
Pei Ji did not dodge the counterattack. He drew out his light sword and leaped to meet the attack. Eclipse Sky was like a swift black eagle, accurately passing through the gap in the energy cannon and flashing in front of the opponent.
With a "clang" sound!
The collision between the light blade and the scales only left a faint scratch.
Garnier's mecha exerted force sideways, and the mechanical arm suddenly stabbed at Pei Ji's vital point on the left side.
Pei Ji subconsciously wanted to take the move, but suddenly his mind moved, he lowered his body, dodged the attack, then flapped his wings and kept some distance again.
His eyes swept over some scars left from the fight.
—A gunfire burn on the left arm, a knife wound on the abdomen, and some less obvious abrasions.
The tiny pain travels along the mental synapses to the brain.
Pei Ji suddenly laughed.
I'll be scolded again when I get home.
Just as he adjusted his body and prepared to launch the next attack, the command signal on the optical computer suddenly fluctuated.
Pei Ji was stunned.
The fleet's mechas automatically connect to the optical computer, and the commander relies on mental power to connect to the optical computer's master control system to issue orders to individual soldiers.
But the Fourth Fleet had no commander-in-chief, and he had not received any command signals since Lu Sirang left.
After just a two-second pause, a familiar yet unfamiliar voice sounded in my ears.
The moment this voice sounded, a physiological shiver uncontrollably climbed up Pei Ji's back.
"General Pei, long time no see. Why have you suddenly become so timid?"
…
"Pei Ji is not in the right state."
Shen Que stood in front of the operating table, looking at the mechas in battle from a distance, and suddenly said.
Shafiya squinted for a moment.
“He doesn’t seem to be losing ground.”
“I’m not at a disadvantage…” Shen Que moved closer to the screen.
The enemy's light knife landed on the side of Eclipse's neck and was violently blocked by the mechanical arm.
Shen Que's heart sank.
Alpha was indeed not at a disadvantage, but from a certain moment on, his fighting style changed.
I had handled the previous few encounters with ease, and was careful to avoid getting hurt, following the methods he taught me.
But now he was very impatient, and seemed eager to end the fight immediately. He had completely given up pulling, not to mention avoiding minor injuries. Every movement he made was full of violence and cruelty.
Another beam of light was fired, and the black mecha rushed up along the edge of the beam. The sparks fell on the white sand dunes like exploding fireworks.
Shen Que's hands, which were supporting the operating table, were trembling slightly.
"Calm down... Admiral..."
The huge energy bombardment kicked up a huge cloud of dust, almost blocking out the moonlight.
"We can't stay this close!"
Shafiya's airship was like a small boat, with one corner lifted high.
Shen Que's body swayed, and he reached out to hold on to the wall, his eyes still fixed on the place where the mecha was.
"Downshift, hold on."
Shafiya grabbed the joystick with all her might, trying to stabilize the wings despite the sudden increase in mental pressure.
"Is that the admiral's mental power?" Anya covered her head. She felt a severe headache and tinnitus.
The moment he touched the familiar mental power, Shen Que's heart tightened unconsciously and felt sore, as if a hand was holding it.
Pei Ji's mental strength increased again, and he attacked everyone indiscriminately.
Anxious, restless, and anxious.
He could feel all the emotions coming from it.
However, even so, the blade-like mental power turned into warm water when it reached him, caressing the new buds.
He extended his spiritual tentacles in response, but they only touched briefly before being violently flung away.
He couldn't catch up with Pei Ji.
"No! We can't hold on any longer!" Shafiya shouted, steering the airship away from the mental storm.
A trace of cold sweat appeared on Shen Que's forehead.
Pei Ji's mental power might affect the town's defense system. If the protective shield breaks, it will be disastrous...
"Madam..." Anya looked worriedly at Shen Que who was still staring intently.
Chen Que's fingers that were holding onto the wall bent inch by inch, clenched until his knuckles turned white, and finally he let go powerlessly.
"Go to the nearby town and prioritize the safety of the people," he ordered.
In his last glance obscured by the dust, he saw a beam of light pierce through Eclipse's right leg. The black mecha tilted slightly and then flew up again.
