Chapter 509: Spectre IV

Translator: EndlessFantasy TranslationEditor: EndlessFantasy Translation

On the ground it was a familiar sight.

Bodies of people, carcasses of red-tailed beasts, debris of mechs and the stench of blood.

The city looked all grand and majestic afar, yet it turned out to be a hollowed sculpture at a closer look. There were splashes of blood over the fair white wall, and the buzzes of flies.

The stench of blood circulating in the air seemed to have grown spiking and choking in Ye Chong's nose.

There were far more deaths in the city compared to the outside. The pilots outside were at least armed to last a few turns from the red-tailed beasts' attack, but these were the ordinary citizens which probably immediately pounced to death. Their uniforms had clarified their identity. They were the non-combat units, the technicians perhaps. Not many golden mechs could be seen around. Instead, the standard models filled up the streets, of different colors yet all unarmed.

Ye Chong might have undergone countless wars and seen countless deaths, yet the sight was shaking him a little.

Judging by the size of the city, the population should have easily 300,000, yet Ye Chong could not see, or even hear any survivor around.

Everything was dead, both the people and red-tailed beasts.

Including the red-tailed beasts here, the figure should already be over 5000. That was enough to cause a mayhem in Gray Valley.

Ye Chong could now synthesize the entire event in his mind. So this city should be an important investment by the Research Consortium to perform something, which could be justified by the vast number of elite pilots around. And to make sure that there would not be any uninvited guests from Gray Valley, they had begun spreading creepy rumors about Spectre. They probably paid a few people to get the ball rolling.

But somehow, one day, unfortunately, the red-tailed beasts could smell them underground, so the beasts launched an attack upon them. Nonetheless, similarly, the red-tailed beasts were also unfortunate as they had underestimated the vastness of consortium's force, so the war was too intensive and had lasted for too long.

The red-tailed beasts still fought hard for some reason, which led to the scene now.

”Follow me, Ye.” It sounded like Shang's usual tone of big discovery, as he zoomed away the moment the last syllable rang.

And Ye Chong hurriedly pulled the lever to launch Han Jia's engine.

The city was utterly destroyed. One could already call it a ruin for real. Both Han Jia and Shang weaved in and out from one crumbled building to another, rapidly.

Out of sudden, Ye Chong's face looked drained, as he spotted something on his screen.

There was a small group of red-tailed beasts barraging the alloy gate where a golden mech stood behind it.

The golden mech's sword was broken into half and the mech itself was full of scratches. Its shield was long gone and it was holding the thrashing beasts back at its best. It was protecting someone, a man seemingly who looked wounded at the back.

The beasts were having fun apparently, as Ye Chong could identify a few chances to break through the defense and annihilated their last two targets. Yet, the beasts never did it and just thrashed blindly.

Ye Chong could also see the mech losing anytime soon.

”Shang, go!” he shouted and instantly launched himself towards the mech. It was no longer an issue of identity, whether the raided pilot being a friend or foe. Under the attack of red-tailed beasts, every human would be his friend.

Zap!

A golden beam took over Ye Chong and struck on head of one of the red-tailed beasts.

The broad golden beam, as if the judgement from heaven, penetrated the skull of the beast.

The other beasts, upon noticing the sudden attack, got panicked.

Klink!!!

The three crimson arrows crushed the struggling golden mech, which one of them pierced the cabin. The pilot probably had been sacrificed.

Even the calmest snow hill would have an avalanche due to spark of heat. That was Ye Chong's feeling when his eyes lost the glow and fully accelerated his Han Jia.

The golden mech should be dead, yet its arms began constricting the 3 tails that impaled its body.

The 3 red-tailed beasts were struggling to withdraw their tails, while their one free compatriot was going to help them, yet - *Zap* another golden ray passed by Ye Chong and sent that red-tailed beasts rolling on the ground.

Han Jia pulled out its daggers and stormed by the three red-tailed beasts.

”Awrrrrrr...” Their eyeballs enlarged drastically, as they wailed loud. A fine lining of blood was streaming off their neck.
