Volume 6: Mecha Contest Chapter 320: Ke Lan Enters the Stage
"The commander who issued the wrong order..."
"Is that idiot still alive?!" The Hound's emotions suddenly became excited. "Did those good-for-nothings in the military court accept bribes from this guy? Old Chi, tell me, how did they sentence him? For a crime like this, ten fucking executions would not be too much!"
Chi Hanfeng shook his head and said in a deep voice: "This is not a question of conviction and sentencing... That man was never tried by a military court... He disappeared before the battle was over, and to this day, we still don't know his whereabouts... We don't even know if he is still alive in this world."
"Is there such a thing?!" The Hound punched the armrest of the chair heavily, "What's that guy's name?"
"I only know his name is Mann, and he is from the Fourth Army's staff. I have seen him several times at the frontline base. As for his last name, I don't know either... And the Fourth Army was later disbanded and reorganized twice, so a lot of personnel information can no longer be found..."
"This guy must be from one of those big families. Only they have the ability to protect such a fool who deserves to be shot ten times..." The Hound said while gritting his teeth, with a hint of helplessness in his tone, "Old Chi, I'm not trying to hit you... I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to get revenge..."
"I know, so I've already given up on this idea." Chi Hanfeng said, "But Valentina has never gotten over it. If she continues like this, she will destroy herself sooner or later... I often tell her that since we are still alive, we should live well for those who died for us, but her mind is full of revenge... Do you know why she killed that opponent in the last competition?"
"Why?"
"It wasn't manslaughter... because the pilot was also named Mann, the commander from ten years ago. Even though Valentina and I knew that the two were not the same person, she was still blinded by a strong desire for revenge and pulled the pilot out of the cockpit and crushed him into a pulp in front of the referee."
"If it weren't for the protection of the competition rules, she would probably still be in jail now..." Ke Lan said, "Okay, the next game is about to start. Lao Chi, you can open the communication channel and tell Valentina to forfeit the next game and let me take over."
"Abstain? Why?" Chi Hanfeng was a little puzzled.
"It's cool to get three in a row, but facing an ace pilot, there's no way she can guarantee a win without getting hurt, right? Saving a lot of repair costs isn't a bad thing after all. What's more, it allows her to keep more cards in her cards so that be studied so thoroughly by other teams." Ke Lan stated the reason for giving up.
"According to you... can you win without getting hurt when facing that ace pilot?" Chi Hanfeng opened his mouth in some astonishment - although he also participated in the transformation of Ke Lan's body, he and Valentina were not aware of Ke Lan's abilities.
"I can't guarantee other maps, but this map... the commentator actually said something wrong. This map is not tailor-made for the 'Hercules FA Type', but a place tailor-made for me and my mecha."
"Since you insist so much ... then fine." Chi Hanfeng pressed the communication device hanging on his earlobe, "Valentina, you give up the next game, and Ke Lan will take over."
…
"What's going on?" Alex's surprised voice came from the loudspeaker. "Valentina, who has won two cities in a row and whose aircraft is intact, actually chose to give up? Letting her teammates fight against the opponent's last pilot, what kind of strategy is this?"
"Isn't the decision of the God Hunters a bit too arrogant?" Another veteran commentator frowned and said, "Although they won the first two games easily, the opponent in the third game is the only player with an ace pilot certification in the Angres Club. This was supposed to be an ace-to-ace showdown, but the God Hunters chose to retreat... In my opinion, I'm afraid they will have to come back from a 0-0 deficit..."
"Although we are all puzzled by this, the actions of the God Hunters are completely in line with the rules of the competition, so we cannot interfere with it." Alex took over the conversation and continued to explain, "I think they should also be aware that giving up is equivalent to being eliminated... Even if the body has no damage, Valentina can no longer play in this ring match. With only two players left, how can they fight against Angres's trump card?"
"Ah... Contestant Ke Lan from the God Hunter Group has appeared... Wait, wait a minute, his mecha... doesn't even have legs?" Alex glanced at the information in his hand. "According to the pre-match registration information, Contestant Ke Lan's mecha is named 'Mobility', and it also uses the Phoenix prototype skeleton... From this perspective, the design concept and name of the mecha are quite appropriate..."
Ke Lan's mecha was pulled onto the field by two wheeled tractors. Rather than calling it a mecha, it was more like a turret. The entire lower body of the mecha, including the leg frame, was integrated into a conical stable base. Around the base, thirty-two of the largest anchors were installed and deeply nailed into the ground.
In the rules of the competition, there is a concept called "maintenance points cap". All accessories, weapons and external devices of the mecha will be counted as corresponding points. Different competition systems have different points limits. Ke Lan's mecha has removed all accessories related to mobility, and used the extra points to enhance firepower.
This is just like playing an MMORPG game where you reduce the character's agility points to zero and then add them all to strength...
As for legs, are they necessary for Ke Lan?
"The feet are just decorations. The big shots up there won't understand." Ke Lan, who was sitting in the cockpit, said with a smile as he looked at the huge countdown projection in the middle of the venue.
The moment the countdown reached zero, Ke Lan's attack began.
Rockets, micro-missiles, heavy-duty railguns, particle beam cannons...all kinds of weapons fired at the same time, and the scene was far more spectacular than the full-scale launch of the "Hercules FA type".
"A thousand meters apart? Direct fire? How high can the hit rate be?" said the commentator who had previously expressed the desire to "come back from 2-0 down to 3-0" with some disdain.
However, apart from the first two shells used to calibrate the trajectory, the remaining railgun shells and particle beams were like opening a violent lock. In two seconds, a total of seventeen shots were fired, and not a single one missed!
As for those micro missiles and rockets, it was as if they had predicted the opponent's evasive route in advance, completely blocking the ace pilot's movement...
The bombardment was almost continuous and the ace pilot of Angres was under tons of attack almost every second. He even thought that he was facing the siege of an entire mecha squadron. However, the information on the monitor kept reminding him that the opponent only had one mecha, and the distance between him and them was still one thousand meters...
Faced with an opponent who can pause time at any time , perform "frame-by-frame analysis" on the movements of the aircraft, and predict the movement and adjust the trajectory at the same time, no matter how skillfully Angres' ace pilot operates, he cannot avoid Ke Lan's attack.
The moment the shield was broken, he was on the verge of collapse and chose to surrender - in this kind of arena without any cover, facing an opponent with automatic aim and headlock, how could he win by fighting?
