Wow! The item-dropping rate is really high!-Chapter 576 - 453 To take charge during a crisis

The Mechas of the Mechanical Court made a grand entrance, soaring through the air across the battlefield. A flying kick struck directly at the shoulder of a "Hive Defender" from the Bug Race as it raised its dual hammers to smash down upon a military Mecha.

Even chitin bone armor that could not be pierced was no match for the direct force of the impact.

The terrifying behemoth was kicked over and crashed onto the ground with a thunderous fall.

The moment the Mecha, coursing with strange energy flows, touched down, it flicked its right arm, and three dark, oddly shaped blades instantly shot out.

"Pull back and provide support, let's see what these 'defenders' are made of."

The Mech Pilots of the Mechanical Court, watching from behind, had long been interested in these boisterous giants. Had it not been for the military saying their role was to deliver the final blow, they would've rushed to the front lines much earlier.

The Mechanical Court was Blackwater City's most cutting-edge power on the physical plane, scarce in number but formidable in strength, existing only to deal with high-risk matters.

They resided at the city's center, rarely mobilized.

These massive creatures of the Bug Race far outside the city, had the insectoids not reached the city boundaries, the pilots might have never had the chance to face such novel opponents in their lifetimes.

Now, presented with a rare opportunity, the nerves of the three Mech Pilots inside the Mechanical Court's Mechas were excited to the extreme.

"One each, kill them all before that Overlord arrives!"

"Roger that!"

"Let's see who's faster!"

The Flowing Light Mech Armor instantly pounced forward, its pitch-black blades vibrating at a frequency invisible to the naked eye.

High-Frequency Cutting!

This was a brand-new technology developed by the Scientific Research Institute, and due to cost reasons, only top-tier organizations like the Mechanical Court could equip it immediately after its technical implementation.

So-called impenetrable alien carapaces, when facing the creations of humanity's finest technology, were no match at all!

"Buzz!"

The blade sliced through the carapace, but not as cleanly as a knife through tofu, as one might imagine.

It only managed a shallow diagonal cut into the top layer before the three blades slid off, following the curved body of the "Hive Defender."

The vast torque from the full-throttle swing, having missed, pulled the large mechanical body sideways towards the defender's flank.

Even the mechas of the Mechanical Court couldn't avoid the inherent delay in feedback.

The only difference was that their directly connected neural operating systems allowed for a more timely reaction to the unexpected change.

The moment they sensed the imbalance of the Mecha, certain parts of the three mechas powered up almost simultaneously, forcefully pulling up their teetering bodies.

The counterattack and stabilization of the bodies happened almost at the same time, with the three mechas in mid-air performing a spin and a flying kick. The right legs of the Mechas swept across the head of the gorilla-like "Hive Defender."

The moment they landed, the rocket thrusters under their feet erupted with powerful thrusts and the three mechas leaped forward again in an unrelenting assault.

Compared to the "clumsy" military Mechas, these three mechas of the Mechanical Court were more like highly skilled Martial Artists, moving with incredible agility as they surrounded and attacked the heavily armored "Hive Defender."

After a flurry of flashing blades, the attacking stance of the Mechas almost seemed oppressively one-sided. The three Hive Defenders could only chase blindly after the afterimages left by the three Mechas of the Mechanical Court, like headless flies.

Compared to the previous performance of the military Mechas, it was a world of difference.

"Well done!"

"Worthy of being Mech Pilots of the Mechanical Court!"

"It is truly a feast for the eyes!"

As long as the Mechas of the Mechanical Court could hold the Overlord's area, the gradually awakening human soldiers and the military Mechas could easily clear out the remaining low-level sea of bugs.

Without the terrifying war engines like the thunder beasts to contend with, the elite bugs such as artillery bugs, sand bugs, and mantis bugs had been almost entirely wiped out, leaving only the worker and bee bugs on the front lines, no match for the humans.

The difference was merely one of time and casualties.

However, in a quiet corner, Yue Ying watched it all with a slight frown, not blindly optimistic.

The situation on the field seemed strong, yet those Mechanical Court Mechas were in truth walking a tightrope at the edge of a cliff.

A single moment of carelessness could lead to an irrevocable downfall.

Could they maintain such an intense onslaught easily?

No!

Perhaps they could at the beginning, but now… they could no longer stop of their own volition.

The three terrifying creatures of the Bug Race were rapidly adapting to the performance of the human Mechas. What seemed like blind pursuit was increasingly pushing the limits of the Mech Pilots' maneuvers.

If they were struggling to kill even three "Hive Defenders," what hope did they have to kill the final "Unknown Overlord"?

Through internal comms, the six elite Mech Pilots of the Mechanical Court gritted their teeth and communicated.

"Can't break through their defense…"

"These damn things have too tough a hide!"

Even though they wielded brand-new technology blades developed by the Scientific Research Institute, the potential damage they could inflict on the creatures was still limited.

Each strike could barely scratch the surface layer.

Despite trying their hardest to focus multiple strikes on the same spot, the Mech Pilots of the Mechanical Court despairingly realized a fact—

The injuries they caused seemed utterly insignificant to the Hive Defenders, not even extruding an excess droplet of bodily fluid from the wounds they inflicted.

However...

The even more terrifying and unknown behemoth known as the "Overlord" was slowly approaching.
