Chapter 180 Tactical Retreat
"Commander is in danger!"
Below, Lan Guang and others were all shocked.
The sight of the giant web formed by more than a dozen lasers made their scalps tingle, and the other mechanical modules with a self-destructive aura made their backs chill.
No one of them could avoid this attack.
Of course, An Lan couldn't use this disintegration tactic to deal with them.
But Su Xia looked calm as he used his psychic power skill to crush it.
“Buzz——”
More than a dozen psychic lasers around dimmed instantly, were affected, and became intermittent.
Su Xia's mecha was fully powered up, and part of the black metal baffles on the legs moved back, revealing black nozzles, which together with the nozzles on the back sprayed out orange-red fireworks, carrying him high into the sky.
The more than twenty small mechanical modules that An Lan transformed into also spewed out flames.
"boom!"
The alloy nozzles of each part were burning red, the air nearby was distorted, and beautiful circles of Mach rings were visible to the naked eye.
Those mechanical modules were like a group of small robots, moving at an incredible speed, chasing after Su Xia in a spiral.
Standing on the ground and looking up, the scene is very spectacular, like the flying scenes in some mythology.
"Bang, bang, bang..."
More than ten missiles suddenly shot out from Su Xia's armor. The blazing tail flames illuminated the sky, and they drew irregular curves under the night sky. Guided by infrared imaging, they headed straight for those small mechanical modules.
An Lan reacted extremely quickly. All modules dispersed instantly and moved irregularly under the sky. A few modules threw out heat-seeking bombs.
A short and violent roar erupted between the two sides, and the shocking flames could be seen even from a very far distance.
Before the explosion was over, Su Xia took the initiative to attack. He raised his hand and fired a laser, which directly hit the module closest to him and burned it through.
At the same time, more than a dozen small-caliber, high-speed armor-piercing shells specially made in the mecha were fired in succession, and with the help of the mecha's auxiliary aiming system, they hit five or six modules in succession.
“Boom! Boom!”
The module that was hit exploded directly, fragments flew everywhere, and turned into a burning rain of fire falling from the sky.
This type of super-speed armor-piercing projectile has a poor bullet shape and large speed resistance, which causes the speed to decay quickly, but its kinetic energy is greater than that of other projects, making it suitable for close-range combat.
Yu Tuo saw that the situation was not good. The siege situation after the disintegration had been broken by half, and he could not even make an effective counterattack. He could only stop the self-destruction program and control all modules to launch a saturation attack on Su Xia, firing all the weapons and ammunition that could be used.
Su Xia did not passively take the beating. He dodged left and right and fought back. After a few shots, he killed two small modules.
Until now, the time has not exceeded the estimated range.
The only problem was An Lan's disintegration tactics. Su Xia couldn't determine which small module An Lan's main body was in. Even the Eye of Illusion couldn't see it, so he could only attract An Lan to attack him.
I don’t know if it’s because he’s too confident, but An Lan hasn’t even scattered and escaped yet.
Even after losing half of his body, he continued to attack and used his awakened powerful psychic talent - the fictitious phantom!
“Buzz…Buzz…”
The remaining mechanical modules vibrated rapidly, and an afterimage appeared in an instant, and the afterimage gradually separated from the main body, becoming clearer and clearer.
In a short moment, the number of remaining modules doubled, rapidly interweaving under the cover of night, some of them real and some fake, making it difficult to judge.
Su Xia responded calmly and opened fire on the modules, some real and some fake!
“Da da da da…”
He was like a flying fire fortress. The mecha changed its form, and its mechanical back bulged high and unfolded, turning into two heavy firepower output points that could be rotated at will.
Corresponding changes also occurred in other parts of the body. Even the two arms had more than a dozen black fire holes. The last one to enjoy this treatment was the level 4 Zerg boss.
The bullets slanted out and swept across the sky like a sudden storm.
On the screen in front of Su Xia , the ammunition reserves were rapidly decreasing, and all data quickly fell below the red line.
And those dozens of real and fake mechanical modules were blown up countless times by the fierce output firepower. The Eye of Illusion played a big role and provided Su Xia with the key ability to distinguish between reality and falsehood.
“He can actually see that!”
An Lan suddenly felt something was wrong. He discovered that Su Xia's firepower first targeted his real modules.
He has a strong talent, similar to the shadow clone of Zhu Lu in the North Wind Story Club, but he can split infinitely if he has enough psychic energy, and the illusory shadows he creates are completely indistinguishable from the real ones. Each shadow is not only used to deceive, but can also carry some psychic energy, and can cause damage to the enemy when close.
But Su Xia first used a large amount of firepower to smash the real modules, and then used a small amount of firepower to deal with the fake modules. His offense and defense were perfect, without any loopholes, and his condition remained at its peak.
However, An Lan became weaker and weaker with each loss. After the last attack attempt, only five or six real modules were left.
…
At this moment, in the Waste Armor City, the Mechanical Base.
Suddenly there was an explosion inside the base.
"boom--"
The entire base trembled, and countless mechanical creatures instantly entered combat mode, alert to their surroundings.
Before they could figure out what was going on, a huge triangular mechanical object crashed a hole into the steel sky above the base.
"What is that?"
Under the gaze of countless mechanical creatures, the terrifying triangular mechanical creation flew out of the base, with its tail thrust at full blast, a blazing tail flame, an astonishing speed, and a huge sound, leaving a trail of afterimages over the city.
It was only seven o'clock in the morning, and countless residents in the city should have been asleep, but they were awakened by the roar.
"What's going on? Did the Mechanical Tribe's fighter planes fly over?"
"That doesn't look like a fighter plane..."
“…”
Countless people stood in front of the windows, using their naked eyes or telescopes to observe the mechanical object rapidly passing through the sky. However, before they could see it clearly, the object was so far away that it became only a small black dot.
In the mechanical base, only a very small number of mechanical creatures with higher authority recognized what it was.
"Lord An Lan is in trouble. That is his replacement body, and he is probably seriously damaged now."
"But he never sent us any message or called for reinforcements."
"It's too late for us to rush over now."
"Should we inform Lord Yutuo?"
"No, Lord An Lan needs to save face..."
“…”
Here, the mechanical creatures with higher authority and who have had contact with An Lan all know An Lan's character.
Even when facing an enemy far stronger than him, he would not lose face. He would fight first, and then flee thousands of miles away if he could not win.
An Lan couldn't do something like calling for help.
…
Above the valley, An Lan saw that the situation was not good and stopped attacking. He controlled the remaining six mechanical modules to disperse directly.
He made a tactical retreat!
An Lan used all his remaining energy to increase his speed, turning on the afterburner to full throttle. The sound of the thrusters was deafening, like six meteors flying rapidly in different directions under the night sky.
Seeing this scene, everyone from the North Wind Organization below cheered excitedly.
The shadow that once weighed on their heads has now been beaten back to the point of fleeing in fear.
Mo Zheng laughed loudly, "Haha, An Lan escaped! He actually escaped!"
"An Lan, come back!" His brother Mo Zhan shouted with a smile, "Where is your courage? Where is your confidence? You are a great warrior of the mechanical race, how could you escape?"
"Great Commander!"
"An Lan, I will send people to sneak into various cities tomorrow." Mo Zhan continued, "I will find a few storytellers to tell stories of this battle in countless versions and tell them day and night in various taverns, so that your heroic escape will spread throughout the entire Southwest Region!"
The scene of An Lan's embarrassing escape was imprinted in the minds of countless new and old soldiers.
At this moment, the North Wind Organization was finally reborn.
They were excited and thrilled, their faces flushed, and they shouted Beifeng's name loudly. Some of them, like Mo Zhan, taunted An Lan's fleeing body with all their might.
Even a steady person like Lan Guang joined in the mocking crowd.
Of course, he didn't do it simply to enjoy scolding people, but to make An Lan angry and keep An Lan.
"This guy split into six parts and fled in different directions. It's hard for the commander to chase him!"
Lan Guang was keenly aware of this problem, so he behaved uncharacteristically.
But just as he had this thought, four of the six Anlan modules that were fleeing in the distance suddenly sparked, exploded inside, and then fell straight down.
As early as in the previous close combat, An Lan's repeated attempts to get closer gave Su Xia the opportunity to deploy a large number of nanorobots onto his body surface.
These nanorobots have functions such as combat, defense, and reconnaissance. They have helped Su Xia on countless occasions in the past, but a lot of them were lost in tonight's battle, which made Su Xia a little heartbroken.
There is no other way, just to ensure that everything goes well.
No one could have imagined that An Lan would actually fall apart.
If it were just a whole, it would be much easier to deal with.
"The Mechanical Race should not be underestimated. Their various weird tactics are hard to defend against."
Su Xia thought of the mechanical clone that Yu Tuo was modifying underground in Coral City, which had the ability to change shape.
He raised his right arm and aimed at one of the last two modules. The system calculated various possible evasive maneuvers and then fired more than a dozen large-caliber special bullets in succession.
As expected, the mechanical module dodged several of the missiles, but was still hit. With a bang, it exploded into a fireball in the air.
Only the last one left.
Su Xia thrust at full speed, like a hunting eagle, so fast that only an afterimage was left, and rushed straight towards An Lan.
With his current strength, with the help of armor, his speed is far beyond that of An Lan in normal state, not to mention that An Lan is now only left with a body the size of a human head.
An Lan knew that he could not escape and his replacement body was still far away, so he roared angrily.
"North Wind, I am immortal!"
