Chapter 338 - Space War II (1/2)
If the enemy's spaceship sent out their Mech Frames, this means that they won't be able to easily fire their super cannons.
At the very least, the Knights Division will notice if they are planning to fire one in.
After all, it is very easy to have friendly fire in this kind of battle if they are not careful. This is a proven case within the virtual world.
That is why their battle formation and angles of attack were extremely important. Of course, because both sides have superior A.I. assisting them, accidents can be lessened or be completely avoided.
”Hilda's team will stop the enemies approaching the Left Flank… We'll handle the Right Flank…”
”Yes, Leader!”
”Ferdie… Your Mech Frame is on a different level, you can try to break away our formation if you're confident!”
Ray wanted to know Ferdie's thoughts… He knows that Ferdie's Issyl was built differently and its speed is top class.
Aside from that, everyone in his team is an elite pilot… They are more than aware of their own abilities so he wanted to get their opinion on such matters.
”You're right… I'll observe them first then I'll see if I can outspeed them…”
”Alright… Do not hesitate to use all our Mana Reserves. We have our Magic Nodes and other Artifacts that will protect our c.o.c.kpit… Unless they have Mech Frames that can fire similar to the level of Grade 5 Magic Spells, there wouldn't be a problem clashing against them…”
”Yes, Sir!”
[ Activate Energy-Mana Shell ]
Ferdie heard Avalon's reminder as they got closer to the enemy Mechs.
[ Incoming Mechs Identified: 40 Wolf's Sledger, 30 Dragon's Warrior, and 30 Serpent's Marauder. ]
They then saw the Mech Knights divided as they headed towards the two Divisions… It seems that they are thinking the same thing, to stop their Humanoid Machine's counterpart.
”Let's go!”
Ray Penber led his team as they activated their Front Barriers… Because they are outnumbered, they needed to stick together unless they are confident with their skills. As for their Mech Knight's capability, there was no way they'll doubt its prowess. If they didn't perform well, it is because they are limiting the power of the Mech Knights as they lack enough skills to fully utilize it…
After all, they have seen a simulation from Avalon about the ideal method of piloting their Mechs before…
With this in mind, they need to show that they are the Elite Magicians of the younger generation! Aside from that, they also know that Wallace is recording everything that is happening right now!
From the moment the Excellence has appeared, there should've been a live broadcast happening elsewhere and they can't let them down.
Boom!
The clash between the Frames and Knights started with firing a massive number of bullets to gauge the response time, speed, and maneuverability of their machines…
”Stay on Formation… Once the bullets were spent, switch to Mana Swords!”
His team already knows this but he wanted to stay connected with his fellow magicians…
[ Danger: All Sledger Mechs were acc.u.mulating strong heat energy… ]
”Scatter!” Ray didn't hesitate at all…
The Mechs who clashed against them were only the Warriors and Marauders… They didn't notice it at first due to the messy battlefield but Avalon didn't fail to detect their strategy.
It seems that they are only buying some time for the Sledgers to cast their secret weapon or something…
Whoosszzh!
A strong beam of light was suddenly sent out and was directed to the bunch of Mech Knights…
Ray gritted his teeth as he poured his mana into his shield. Apparently, the direction they were escaping to was already calculated by the enemy Mechs and were waiting for them.
Boom! They were directly hit by the enemy fire and their Mana Shields were slowly losing their energy.
Luckily, the Shields they created can handle their energy bullets and explosives… It means that as long as they have the mana supply, they will be able to defend against them…
Unfortunately, their energy filler is not unlimited… They will soon reach their limit so they have to quickly act.
”I'll try to disrupt them… Coordinate with my movements.”
Finally, Ferdie decided to act after Avalon managed to calculate the enemy Mech Frame's machine capability.
Apparently, in terms of speed and mobility, his Issyl is superior to them. He's only lacking with firepower but it can be compensated by his Archon Series Mana Artifacts.
'I can do this!'
Ferdie activated his Mech Knight's Arcanist Phase…
