Chapter 105: The Insidious Yu Di (2/2)
The weapon held by the third hand was one that Ye Chong was familiar with - a UF magnetic sword. This was one of Ye Chong’s favourite weapons, and this particular sword’s vibrating frequency was three times higher than the top grade UF magnetic swords found in the market. ”Heavens, how did he solve the vibration frequency threshold problem? That’s a world-class problem!” thought Ye Chong.
The weapon on the fourth and final hand was a bit odd. It was a vase shaped ammunitions launcher. ”The old fool, did he really think this is a God?” The thought of the vase shaped design made Ye Chong want to cry, or laugh, or both. However, once he examined the contents of the launcher, Ye Chong felt a chill run down his spine! Electro-interference grenades, high compression explosive grenades, metal degradation agents … All sorts of insidious auxiliary grenades were found, and in great variety. Ye Chong even found a small gravity grenade. ”The man can fit a gravity matrix into such a small grenade! How terrifying!” Ye Chong finally understood that the mech was no God, but an honest-to-God devil of extreme insidiousness! Perhaps the trump card of this mech lay in these weapons!
”What a crafty old man!”
However, Ye Chong was not extremely gratified by the old man, Fred. These weapons, if used appropriately, would have devastating power! That meant that Ye Chong’s chances of survival had increased!
Without time for further contemplation, Mu reminded Ye Chong that he was close to the enemy’s firing range. Ye Chong immediately gathered his thoughts and examined the situation before him carefully. If he took a hit, even Mu with all his ingenuity could not save him! Fortunately, his hands moved quickly enough to make up for his unfamiliarity with Yu Di.
The MPA warship’s commander was obviously confident of the forty two Messengers, and did not direct any of the warship’s cannons to provide support. Instead, the cannons continued to fired at Sabre at a steady pace, hoping to breach the starship’s seemingly impregnable armor!
Since Ye Chong was still adjusting himself to Yu Di, he was no longer in the middle of the swarm of mechs, but had dropped behind, with Mu flying steadily by his side.
However, with this, he would only need to concentrate on avoiding any stray bullets. He was not foolish enough to rush to the front lines!
Over three hundred mechs of all colours surrounded the forty two Messengers and fired their long range weapons, the canopy of laser beams and heat rays formed a dazzling web of light. No matter how powerful the Messengers were, they could not overcome the force of so many others! The forty two Messengers took their first hit, five of them destroyed by the first round of attacks, and a few of them were damaged!
The pilots were encouraged, as the white mechs image of invincibility was finally shattered!
The remaining Messengers did not stay put, but whizzed away in all directions, flying into the swarm of mechs. The pilots ceased fire for fear of shooting their comrades but the Messengers did not share the same concern; almost everyone around them were their enemies, and they could fire as they please! However, they also lost their long range advantage earlier. However, while their numbers were decreasing, the enemy’s numbers were also decreasing, but at a much higher rate, tenfold or more!
Ye Chong carefully avoided the stray bullets. He did fully understand Yu Di’s armor and defense capabilities, and this was not the place to experiment on them.
Some distance away, a Messenger was pursued by a few mechs, and was now heading towards him.
Ye Chong laughed coldly inside, his hands moving across the controls in a blur, initiating a sequence of maneuvers. Yu Di lifted its vase-shaped grenade launcher, and a gravity grenade was launched towards the Messenger.
Ye Chong noticed then that his scanning system did not register any trace of the gravity grenade. ”Was the grenade shell made of anti-detection material? It must be so! What a sly old man!” Ye Chong was sincerely impressed!
The Messenger was obviously faster than the mechs pursuing it. With just a few minor evasive motions, it could avoid the laser beam attacks from behind.
The pilot of this Messenger also noticed an oddly designed mech some distance away, floating around idly. ”What a fool, to space off on the battleground, just asking for trouble. As expected, this is just an assorted crew! The pilot in the mech smiled condescendingly, his Javelin Angel-V already pointed towards the odd looking mech. ”Four arms? Does he think he’s an octopus? Hehe, I’ll show you the taste of some good grilled octopus!”
With just a move of his finger, the idiot would turn into ashes! The pilot’s mouth formed a cruel smile!
Suddenly, without any warning, his whole body was heavily weighed down , as though he was falling. In that moment, he felt as though he was bundled together with some iron beams, his body unwilling to move as he wished it to, and any movement became extremely difficult! Before he could react any further, laser beams came from behind towards him.
His face was drained of color, and his eyes widened, panic-stricken; sweat along his forehead rolled downwards like a stream due to the gravitational pull!
*BANG* He knew his Messenger had been hit! Based on his experience, it should be the left shoulder!
A few other laser beams shot towards him, and while evasion was easy before, he could no longer react to anything. He watched hopelessly at the odd mech, and, just before he was completely engulfed in the explosion, he noticed that the thin smile on the mech’s face was suddenly the very image of cruelty!
