Chapter 1118 They Were No Match for Them?
The appearance of Shadow Step proved that these two leaders from different nations had both reached the highest point of an ace operator.
Everyone wanted to continue to watch the battle between the two leaders. However, the video feed suddenly changed to a different scene.
At this scene, they were able to see one Federation mecha standing behind Lingtian Mecha Clan, just quietly observing the fierce mecha battle coldly from the sidelines.
“Why isn't he joining the fight?” His allies on the front-lines were fighting a hard-fought fight while he just stood there watching without even offering to help. This odd scene gave many of those watching the battle an uncomfortable feeling.
Coincidentally, mecha operators from Knight Ace Mecha Clan also saw him at the same time.
One Knight Ace Mecha Clan mecha suddenly rushed out from the battlefield. He saw the Federation mecha at the very back and rushed towards it without giving a second thought.
However, before he could get closer, a beam of light suddenly came towards him from a tricky angle.
This beam came to him so silently that when he noticed it, it was already a few meters away from him. However, the mecha operator was the cream of the crop of mecha operators in Caesar, and he was fully adept in such dangerous situations, so when faced with such a dangerous situation, he just calmly piloted his mecha and used Shadow Step to dodge the incoming beam.
He originally thought the beam was just a lucky shot, but the next attack came right after. The mecha operator then knew that he was definitely in the sights of another mecha operator.
He piloted his mecha and dodged the beam once again. After that, the mecha operator made a difficult decision to ignore the lone observing mecha operator and turn his attention towards the person who was sniping him.
From afar, a Federation mecha was holding a beam gun aimed towards him.
The distance between them was clearly quite far. Moreover, there were many mechas in between them, but this sniping mecha operator still had perfect aim on him. This made the mecha operator from Knight Ace Mecha Clan feel that he was quite unlucky.
However, with the opposition being able to shoot out two precise and perfect shots through many obstacles, it was enough to prove the capabilities of this mecha master operator. His opponent was definitely a top-cla.s.s long range mecha operator, and he probably had a high position within his mecha clan.
He originally wanted to take down that annoying lone Federation mecha. However, before he could even get close to him, he discovered a capable opponent which excited him, so he quickly turned his mecha around and jumped right back into the raging battlefield.
The Knight Ace mecha immediately started to move oddly past one mecha after the other. In the blink of an eye, he had arrived around the area near the long range mecha operator from the Federation.
During time he was moving past the battlefield, he could feel that the long range mecha operator had aimed at him three times. Oddly enough, he didn't pull the trigger. It wasn't because he wouldn't but rather he couldn't pull the trigger. It was because the Knight Ace mecha had cleverly used mechas from the Federation as cover on his way towards him. If he were to shoot him, then he would have a high chance of accidentally injuring his allied mechas.
However, it wasn't like there was no opportunity to shoot, but rather taking the shot required a lot of confidence and ruthlessness from the mecha operator.
However, in the end, he lost to the feelings between brother-in-arms. Other than just that, he was also not confident enough to bet on himself.
“I've found his weakness. That guy is irresolute and hesitant.” The Knight Ace mecha operator smiled coldly. He gave his opponent those slight windows of opportunity to shoot him just to see what decision he would make and then from it, he would be able to determine his opponent's personality. That way he would be able to gauge the optimal way to fight him.
Finally, after not having anymore Federation mechas as cover, his opponent shot many beams decisively. Countless beams of light covered all of the possible routes the Knight Ace mecha operator could evade towards.
The technique of shooting continuous beams showed him that his opponent had already reached the highest tier of long range attacker. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to shoot out more than 20 shots in an instant.
Although his opponent's shooting techniques were impressive, the mecha operator from Knight Ace Mecha Clan wasn't afraid. He laughed coldly and his finger speed suddenly increased exponentially. He then shouted loudly, “Get through.”
A strange occurrence suddenly happened after he said that. The Knight Ace mecha suddenly disappeared and then reappeared behind the beams of light in the next second. He had evaded successfully.
“How could that happen?” Seeing the strange occurrence, everyone who was spectating the battle from the base instantly shouted out loud.
“The mecha broke through the speed of light in an instant which allowed him to be faster than the speed of the beams, dodging them perfectly. Because of how fast his speed was, it had already gotten past the camera's capabilities to record it. That was why it seemed like the mecha had disappeared and reappeared at a different location.” Little Four knew very well of the weaknesses and strengths of the equipment in this era. Seeing the people from the base having expressions of confusion on their faces, he was nice enough to let the mainframe of the base explain the truth to the audience.
The long range mecha operator was surprised when he saw that his undodgeable attack was evaded. He quickly piloted his mecha and flew backwards to create more distance between the two of them.
However, how could the mecha operator from Knight Ace Mecha Clan give him the opportunity to? In the blink of an eye, he arrived before his opponent and slashed his blade towards him.
The long range mecha operator could only helplessly put up his beam gun to block the attack.
The beam gun exploded into pieces as the blade had slashed the power source of the beam gun.
When the gun exploded, the Knight Ace mecha operator could only see a burst of white light covering his vision. The screens in the mecha were also blanketed with a bright flash of white which inhibited the mecha operator to see what was going on outside.
However, the sudden situation didn't interfere with his attack, as he had already raised his sword for another attack.
He expected to feel his blade slicing through tough sheets of metal, but that feeling never came.
‘How could this be?' He thought with surprise.
He didn't know what was happening, but the audience saw it. It turns out, in the instant the beam gun exploded, the long range mecha operator was blown away by the explosive force. In an effort to gain control of his mecha, he laid down on all fours which somehow allowed him to evade the sword that was coming towards his waist.
“So f*cking lucky.” Everyone couldn't help but wipe away the cold sweat off their foreheads. They were all under the impression that Lingtian's long range mecha operator was going to be cut in half by his opponent.
Right at that moment, a glaring white light suddenly s.h.i.+ned down on everything. It was as though it was cutting through the fabric of s.p.a.ce.
Before anyone could notice, the long range mecha operator, who had lost control of his mecha from the force of the explosion, actually had a long, black and narrow sword in his mecha's right hand.
After his mecha was sent flying for a few meters, he finally managed to stop his mecha and stand up. However, what he did next confused everyone.
He actually turned his back towards his opponent and attacked another Knight Ace mecha operator who was fighting with a Federation mecha not far from him. The narrow sword in his hand ruthlessly sliced towards the new Knight Ace mecha operator.
Although the Knight Ace mecha operator was surprised by his attack, he still calmly put up the large sword in his hand to block.
In reality, narrow swords were often much weaker than the large sword. However, when the two swords clashed, the narrow sword actually wasn't being pushed back. The two of them confronted each other for a few seconds and then moved away from each other.
“Is he changing opponents with his comrade?” The audience, who didn't understand why the long range mecha operator had done that, could only come up with this reason for the switch.
“Look, that Knight Ace mecha.”
“Why isn't he moving?”
“Look closely at the mecha's abdomen,” prompted those with sharp eyes.
The mainframe seemed to understand everyone's wishes and zoomed in on the abdomen. Everyone in the entire base finally saw why Lingtian's mecha operator had ignored that opponent and went to attack someone else.
A large opening suddenly cracked open around the c.o.c.kpit area of the mecha, and countless blood-red solids were pouring through it endlessly.
