"Sizzle—"
The sound was sharp and piercing, even Yang Qinglan, Li Qianxia, and Yaochi in the cockpit couldn't stand it.
Bea Triss covered her ears with both hands, as if she were saying something loudly.
"Boom!" All that could be heard again was the sound of the machine hitting the air.
“Good, continue!” Yaochi said.
"No problem!" Li Qianxia's fighting spirit soared even higher.
The two changed direction, aimed at a place deep in the smoke that they sensed was dangerous, and launched another attack.
The right foot pedal was pressed down slowly and firmly, and the power unit hummed, like a heart, injecting more vitality into the machine.
Through the neural connection system, Li Qianxia felt a surge of power throughout her body.
boom!
The surroundings became quiet as the two mechs broke the sound barrier, leaving the sound behind them.
Unparalleled speed brought unmatched power; the two machines, one red and one white, pulled along two streaks of light, crashing into each other like meteorites.
But in the next instant, their intuition, fused with their bodies, keenly sensed the {Judgment} at that moment, and a tremendous sense of foreboding washed over them like a bucket of cold water.
I felt a chill run down my spine.
"Get out of the way!"
"Danger!"
The two shouted at the same time.
A blinding flash of light exploded in the smoke, accompanied by a thunderous, muffled sound, as if some destructive creature was surging within a giant white cocoon.
Amidst the smoke shrouding the forest, two mechs, trailing wisps of smoke, crashed like cannonballs against the distant mountainside.
The earth shook violently, and rocks rained down from the mountainside.
Body injured
Main weapon power output reduced by 26%.
Secondary weapon - Vulcan machine gun - half damaged
The power furnace and shock absorbers are groaning.
Besides these—
"It hurts so much!" Li Qianxia cried out, her eyes tightly shut, her whole body convulsing and trembling.
Through neural connections, pilots can control the mech as if it were their own body, and at the same time, they can bear the damage that the mech suffers, just like their own body—otherwise, their danger instincts would be much weaker.
Even the cockpit, which wouldn't be affected by high-speed driving, shook violently under this fierce impact.
Bea Triss was pale, her back pressed against the driver's seat to steady herself, her left hand holding her right, as if she had bumped into something.
"Did you see the opponent's moves clearly?" Yaochi asked, panting, as she recovered slightly from the excruciating pain.
"No—" Li Qianxia opened her left eye, but her right eye remained tightly closed due to the pain in her body.
"I didn't notice either." Yang Qinglan was the most relaxed of the four, as she was neither affected by the machine nor did she have much trouble dealing with the vibrations in the cockpit.
"What are you doing?" Bea Triss's voice was weak, urgent, and confused. "You're the first people to come out alive who dared to use interfering smoke to fight against the Imperial mechs!"
The first one to come out alive...
I thought losing was already incredibly shameful, but this is just the limit?!

Once the interference smoke was removed, the sensors quickly resumed functioning, and the holographic display screen popped up, automatically magnifying an image.
The azure imperial mech slowly emerged from the smoke, like a god, and swept across the forest in a standing posture, flying towards the two insects amidst ripples.
"No damage whatsoever?" Yang Qinglan asked doubtfully, her expression grave.
The combined attack from the red and white mechs earlier did not cause any damage to the Imperial mech, not even a scratch.
"Imperial mech... watch out!" Beatrice, who was turning around to look at the monitor in the cockpit, suddenly shouted halfway through her sentence.
{Judgment} raised his right hand, his palm quickly turning red.
To the naked eye, it looks like a red ball; when zoomed in on the monitor, it resembles a small, pulsating sun.
Not to mention Li Qianxia and Yaochi, who could sense danger through the machine, even Yang Qinglan, who was in the safest place in the machine—the cockpit—had an ominous premonition.
Fly? No, the range of this attack is too large.
The massive wings of the red and white mechs instantly closed, transforming into shields to protect them.
Silently, a red light wave swept across, turning the trees black one after another, patch after patch.
Immediately afterwards, a deafening shockwave exploded, crushing everything in its path.
The black trees, already burned to ashes, were blown away like mist and disappeared without a trace.
Apart from the two shields and the mountain behind them, everything else seemed to have never existed, turning black in an instant before being blown away by the shockwave.
high temperature! high temperature!
Right lower wrist injury - uncontrollable
In contrast, the white body, which is less heat-resistant, malfunctioned directly.
The verdict flew slowly over as if it had done nothing, passing through the forest that had turned into hell.
It cherished each shell as if it were a cannonball, firing it one by one, and like teasing two crickets, it would harass them from time to time, trying to provoke them for its own amusement.
Powerful impacts pounded against the now-reddened shield, and the machine slowly sank into the mountainside.
Inside the cockpit, Li Qianxia and Yaochi were covered in sweat, gritting their teeth as they withstood the impact.
Yang Qinglan stared at the small display screen, where everything in sight—the once lush forest—had turned into barren sand dunes, and black dust fell from the sky like black snow.
It's a scene of the end of the world.
"Damn it!" Sweat streamed down Yaochi's collar. "Qianxia, wait for it to get close, then prepare to break free!"
"I understand!" Li Qianxia's hands had lost all feeling, and she was only able to support herself by the stiffness caused by numbness.
"The Imperial mechs are so powerful, how come the Duchy has been fighting them for so long?" Yang Qinglan couldn't help but ponder.
Unless the principality also has mechs of the same level.
Looking at the {Judgment} flying as slowly as a rowing boat, Li Qianxia felt like a rag doll being punched repeatedly without being able to fight back.
"Isn't anyone going to come and rescue us? Where are the reinforcements?!" she couldn't help but shout.
boom!
An object flew overhead at lightning speed, causing more rocks to fall and smash into the two mechs.
Human body discovered... Daytime Weiss, a soldier in the guard regiment
The screen zooms in, revealing a handsome and charming figure—it's Li Changzhou.
Li Qianxia opened the external communication almost at the fastest speed the system could react.
"Brother, help!" A vibrant, joyful, and hopeful female voice echoed far and wide in the apocalyptic scene.
Li Changzhou looked over, a smile of relief and hope appearing on his face.
"Save me first!" he cried out.
"Wh-what?"

Peng!
A gust of wind swept overhead, and a towering red mech blocked the sunlight from reaching the red and white mechs.
"Another one?!"
