Alec, now wielding his greatsword, has a significantly increased combat strength. At least in his battle against the Skeleton King, he is now able to hold his own, no longer the pathetic figure he was before, being pinned to the ground and utterly crushed.
At the same time, Alec's outburst gave the other mechs a chance to breathe, no longer facing the same perilous situation as before, and even finding opportunities to launch a sneak attack on the Skeleton King.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!" After destroying another mech, the Skeleton King roared. It was no longer as powerful and unstoppable as before. Many of its bones were broken. Under the cover of numerous mechs, Alec's offensive caused it considerable trouble.
He swung the bone knife in his hand wildly forward, trying to cut down another mech.
Seeing this, everyone immediately looked anxious. Although Alec possessed seventh-tier combat power, he was still inferior to a true seventh-tier unit. At this moment, it was too late to go and rescue him.
As for the other mechs, needless to say, they are far inferior to the Skeleton King in both speed and attack power. Without anyone to restrain them, rushing in recklessly would only result in another kill.
"Ah!!!" In the face of danger, the pilot of the mech roared and swung his lightsaber with all his might, slashing down at the Skeleton King.
"Bang!" As expected, the bone knife struck the mecha, severing a mecha arm several meters high. Half of the mecha was still flashing with fire, and it was basically paralyzed.
Fortunately, the mech pilot was fine and only needed to switch to another mech to be able to return to the battle, provided that his mind and body were not damaged.
After the sixth generation, all mechs are connected through thought, which means that the pilot has to endure tremendous mental pressure. Once the mech is severely damaged, the pressure will also affect the pilot's mind, causing further damage.
Fortunately, the mech's sudden burst of power also severed half of the Skeleton King's sternum. The energy lightsaber unleashed a burst of intense energy in that instant, and this type of weapon is not blocked by bone blades. It sliced directly across the Skeleton King's chest, and a large section of his sternum snapped in two.
"Finally, the second mech has activated! Go and bring it back!" Ye Chen said with a joyful expression. Immediately, a peak sixth-tier roc flew out and brought the mech back.
"Ugh! Money!" Looking at the nearly destroyed mech, the fat man felt a pang of heartache, but he also knew that as long as it could unleash the power of a seventh-tier fighter, it would be worth it.
A mech warrior capable of unleashing seventh-tier combat power is far more valuable than all the mechs combined. This represents a qualitative change; otherwise, even the most powerful weapon would be left unused and was simply a hidden gem.
“Money is just an external thing. If it can be turned into strength, we can earn it all back. Let’s go see who this person is. We should reward him properly!” Ye Chen said happily.
A combination of kindness and severity is the way to go in the long run. After forcing these mechs to fight the Skeleton King for so long, someone has finally broken through, so they definitely need to be rewarded.
The sixth-tier peak Roc was extremely fast. Even the Skeleton King, who was not known for his speed, was far from being able to catch up with it, despite having the strength of the seventh tier. In almost an instant, it brought the nearly destroyed mech back. Then the hatch opened, and the main control cabin rolled out under the control of the smart chip.
"This is... Carnegie, a werewolf from the Harold tribe. He was quite talented, which is why he was sent here!" The fat man introduced, looking at the person being brought out of the main control room.
Harold has established a mercenary group in Xiniu Hezhou, which is one of the main combat forces here. Not to mention, he had a lot of contact with Ye Chen during his student days, so he can be considered an acquaintance of Ye Chen and can talk to him for a while.
When recruiting volunteers to pilot mechs, Harold also sent one of his family's younger relatives. At the time, Harold was only at the fourth level, just like Alec. Now, under the powerful mental pressure of the mechs, he has reached the sixth level, even stronger than Harold. This was probably something Harold hadn't expected. It's said that Carnegie even mentioned it to Fatty a few times, saying that he also wanted to pilot a mech. Unfortunately, Fatty didn't agree to let him try.
"They really are a group of ruthless people! The werewolf clan has indeed produced a lot of talented people!" Ye Chen nodded in praise. Compared with other races, the werewolf clan produces a higher proportion of talented people. These wolf cubs are ruthless and decisive, and their wolf spirit is brought to the fullest extent, which is why they have been able to grow strong so quickly.
"I'll send him some Water of Life later, no, give him a cup of wine infused with holy ivory, that will help stabilize his body and spirit!" Ye Chen said after thinking for a moment. He had crafted many wine cups from the holy ivory, and the immortal wine inside had been aged for many years. The divine power accumulated within was terrifying. If they drank it, it could even awaken their light attribute and allow them to master divine power.
Unfortunately, Alec can't drink this celestial wine. As a creature of darkness, drinking such a celestial wine filled with the aura of light would not only prevent him from gaining new power, but would likely purify him directly.
Carnegie's return did not affect the battle in the starry sky. Although the Skeleton King was not afraid of pain, the large number of broken ribs still had a significant impact on his movements, making him less mobile than before.
Therefore, after his anger subsided, the Skeleton King did not continue to attack. Instead, he summoned a large number of undead creatures, intending to repair his body first. As long as he had enough bones, the Skeleton King's body could be repaired quickly.
With the assistance of the smart chip, Alec and his team learned of this information immediately and launched a frenzied attack on the Skeleton King, giving him no chance to recover. As a result, two more mechs were forced to leave the field.
The battle has progressed to this point, with nine mechs deployed simultaneously, but now only four remain, and all of them are badly damaged. Alec's mech, in particular, has taken the brunt of the attacks and suffered the most severe damage as it was the one directly confronting the Skeleton King.
"Is that enough? You're not really planning to scrap all nine mechs, are you?" the fat man asked with a pained expression. Continuing to fight in the current situation was pointless. Even with three peak sixth-tier mechs helping Alec, it would be useless.
"What's the rush? Unless it's a life-or-death situation, how easy is it to unleash power beyond the limit? Look, isn't that another one who's suddenly become powerful?" Ye Chen said, gesturing towards the starry sky.
The fat man looked up and saw that the energy lightsaber in the hand of a mech suddenly burst out with dazzling light, abruptly growing dozens of meters longer, and forcefully piercing through the Soul Fire Seed of the Skeleton King.
Even across vast distances and in the starry sky where there is no medium for transmission, everyone "heard" a painful roar emanating from the very soul.
