Wow! The item-dropping rate is really high!-Chapter 583 - 456 Jingwei_2

The frequent clashing sounds almost merged into a continuous stream, and if Bai E hadn't just upgraded his light weapon proficiency to level 8, he would have had absolutely no room to fight back against Hamilton's four blade arms.

However, even so, Bai E still found it somewhat challenging to deal with Hamilton's close combat capability.

When Hamilton's multiple blade arms drew near, his powerfully enhanced Dissolution Stance was astonishingly potent, so Bai E dared not casually test their edge, only by using his own war blade to interweave with the opponent's single blade arm could he avoid having multiple blade arms chopping down on his war blade together.

Faced with Bai E's melee capabilities, Hamilton with his four blade arms was not at ease either.

Unable to combine his blade arms for strikes meant he lost that terrifyingly sharp lethality, forcing them together made it difficult to hit the extremely cunning human mech in front of him, and even risked exposing his own flaws, putting himself under the threat of attack.

When faced with an opponent who couldn't be quickly defeated, this Hamilton, who had never encountered a worthy opponent, experienced for the first time the emotion humans referred to as "fear."

Perhaps it was too early for 'fear,' but for the first time, it felt threatened.

This feeling was unprecedented...

Evolving was necessary!

This was an opportunity for another evolution!

The rapid blade battle between the blue-and-white mech and Hamilton wasn't isolated; the three massive guardians who were shaken off, after steadying their forms, immediately counterattacked toward the blue-and-white mech once more.

The guardians, having learned no lesson, raised their most powerful weapons again—Diamond Chitin claws whose might was formidable—and yet, when they struck the mech which had just entangled with Hamilton and couldn't dodge, they still had no effect at all.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Almost invisible sword flashes passed in a blur, the mech barely paused before launching a counterattack, then swiftly leapt back into action, charging at Hamilton for a second time.

The chaotic shadow of the blade ceaselessly reflected sunlight, the blinding brilliance nearly dazzling the eyes of every onlooker.

"Amazing!"

"Amazing!"

"Amazing!"

The Mech Pilots of the Mechanical Court exclaimed in unison, their astonishment hard to fathom.

That the mech, operated by Captain Bai, could ignore the also powerful attacks of the insectoid guardians had already baffled them; yet, the speed of the counterattack displayed while facing four opponents was unbelievably fast.

This speed, which was nearly imperceptible to the naked eye, should not be occurring in a mech's frame—at its showing had utterly surpassed the theoretical limits of mechanical quality that were anticipated at the onset of military mech design.

Larger bodies move slower, an inviolable truth of this universe.

No object can have a perfectly rigid structure, where one end responds instantly to a command issued from the other end.

And even if such a structure did exist, the force required to move such a massive object from one end would be unimaginably colossal.

But now...

The speed demonstrated by Captain Bai's operated mech had reached levels that theoretically, only the smaller, special-type mechs in the court were supposed to achieve.

"Is the mech spirit really that fierce?"

"Are we sure it's the work of the mech spirit?"

Even those Mech Pilots from the Mechanical Court, who endlessly revered the mech spirit, began to question the exaggerated perspective that the higher-ups had of Bai E's performance.

"Maybe among mech spirits, there are disparities too,"

"A powerful mech spirit can indeed do whatever it wants!"

Yet in their voices, came the disheartening command, "All units, prepare to retreat."

Captain Bai's performance was indeed consistently stellar, facing four enemies and even managing to bypass the guardians' defense to pressure Hamilton gave everyone hope.

But the battle wasn't just happening at his location.

The insectoids' devouring ability had no limit, and as they consumed more biomass, the insectoid nest so close at hand could produce even more new insects.

Under the current unfavorable conditions, the frontline was verging on a total collapse; without regrouping soon, all the troops involved in this sortie might end up buried in the bellies of the beasts.

Watching the invincible War God in the monitor, slashing through enemies with a chill-inducing blade amidst a one-versus-four battle, every officer felt a profound sense of regret.

If only they had let Captain Bai charge at the forefront of the Mech Armored Corps from the start, how could things have devolved to this extent?

There was no point in sending so many mechas to the dominion's battlefield, where they were being dispatched as easily as slicing vegetables.

Had they known, it would have been better to have all the camp's mechas hold the front line to delay the swarm's advance, and then let Captain Bai rush into the fray alone, betting on when he could take down the four behemoths. The odds would have been much better than now.

"But it also looks like Captain Bai is having a tough time causing significant damage to the overseer," an officer observed attentively.

Despite Captain Bai controlling his mecha to engage energetically with the four giant beasts, the fact remained that none of the five participants in the battle had yet shown any sign of sustaining severe damage.

"Captain Bai might only be able to delay the four behemoths."

"If only we had another 95B27!"

Weslin cut off the officers' discussion agitatedly, "Enough talk, those elite pilots from the Mechanical Court aren't dead yet, we need to figure out how to rescue them!"

The military could afford their losses; at worst, they would simply recruit and enlist more soldiers upon their return.

There were plenty of lower-class citizens in the cities willing to join the military, and the production lines for artificial humans had never been operating at full capacity.

There were no shortages of expendable lower-class citizens, and for the city, deaths were not the biggest problem.

It's a pity to lose so much machinery, but it couldn't be helped.

The only thing that could be salvaged now was the relationship with the Mechanical Court.

The elite pilots who hadn't yet died on the battlefield absolutely couldn't be allowed to perish; their value was much greater than the lost mechas.

This mention of pilots filled some officers with irritation.

"Didn't they say that a few more pilots from the Mechanical Court could achieve similar battle records to Captain Bai? Where are those results?" Hamilton was utterly disappointed in the performance of the elite pilots from the Mechanical Court.

Look at Captain Bai, and then look at the Mechanical Court.

You boast that a few more would have the same effect, but what were you doing when Captain Bai faced four enemies alone?

Lying on the ground shouting your prowess?

If they had known these pilots were ineffective, it would have been better to let Bai E take the lead. How could the situation have developed into its current state?

"There's nothing we can do. Our Intelligence Machinery Group Army can't compare with the insect nest here; that battle clearly hadn't pushed Captain Bai to his limits. It's just that we all assumed that was the real extent of Captain Bai's strength," remarked another officer.

"After this battle, there should be no more excuses for downplaying and suppressing the rise of Captain Bai, right?" Carlos said cautiously, glancing at Weslin. Perhaps this piece of news might be the only good news amidst the great defeat.

"I need solutions, not blame games," Weslin said, his expression cold as ink.

But obviously, this was asking the impossible.

In the current situation, besides Captain Bai, who dared to claim they could move freely through a sea of insects?

And if they ordered Captain Bai to rescue them… who would dare to distract him at this critical moment?

As they watched the lone figure battling against four, an invisible awe had surreptitiously seeped into the hearts of every officer present.

And orders?

Perhaps the word "command" had, from this moment forward, ceased to apply to Captain Bai.

Even if he was an artificial human, this artificial human's capabilities had completely shattered all of their former perceptions.

"I'll go."

From a corner, a black figure that had gone unnoticed suddenly stood up.

When she remained silent, the human officers subconsciously overlooked her presence. It was only when she volunteered to stand out that all the officers inside the command vehicle realized the presence of such a powerful entity among them.

This lady born of the Elf Race was, in their eyes, the true upper limit of single combat strength.

Weslin's face brightened, "Then I'll have to trouble Miss Yueying."
