East Fate City
Looking down from a high alt.i.tude, the extensive dark grey city grounds below burst into a cl.u.s.ter of blue lights .
These bright blue flames rose into the sky without spreading . They merely burned in small areas of the city, unleas.h.i.+ng eye-piercing blue flares . Thick white smoke billowed upwards through the flares and formed a vast greyish-white smoke cloud over the entire city .
Swis.h.!.+
A blue light beam descended from the sky and crashed into a grey high-rise building in the city . The blue ray instantly destroyed the center structural layer of the high-rise and penetrated straight through it .
With a thud, the entire high-rise collapsed into a pile of rubble .
"Warning again! Warning again!! All East Fate citizens, please immediately hide and flee the city . All citizens of East Fate, please immediately hide and flee the city to avoid injury," Unfeeling announcements came and went, playing from a huge blue-black battles.h.i.+p hovering over the city .
These battles.h.i.+ps looked like beetles that had been magnified many times and had spiking mouthpieces . Blue lights were spewing out from these mouthpieces .
Dozens of large battles.h.i.+ps floated over the East Fate City and moved slowly, constantly scanning and capturing the ruins of the empty city below .
The residents of East Fate City who could hide had already hidden and those who could run had already fled, leaving an empty city .
The dead bodies and casualties over these days were not being precisely calculated anymore . Perhaps it had pa.s.sed ten thousand, twenty thousand, or even a million .
In a huge beetle battles.h.i.+p, Garen and Celine stood together behind a group of commanders . Like many of the other youngsters from big businesses and huge households who were watching the battle, they did not make a sound . They were quietly listening to the big boss and commanders conversing at the front .
Standing in front of the crowd before a giant floor-to-ceiling window were three top pilots wearing a major general-ranked military uniform . An intense force field of Level Five Willpower was emanating off them without any restraints .
They were the supreme commanders and the tactical logistics team who were here this time to deal with the White Light Great Light Mech .
"If the real Great Light Mech appears in area A, His Highness Red Whale might not be able to arrive in time . We will need to resist the other party for at least ten minutes or more and hold him down regardless of the casualties . That is a result we cannot afford . "
"But the other party is in the dark and we are in the light . The key to campaign battles is in intelligence . They do not know which areas our main deployment are at . We also do not know which area their raids are hiding in," the other man frowned .
"All the representatives of the major households here can raise up any suggestions you have . If it is indeed valuable, our military department and the academy will give out great rewards," a long-eyebrowed Major General s.h.i.+fted his gaze over and looked in the direction where the wealthy youngsters were whispering among one another .
The reason why these people were called here was to make use of the power of the various households . Maybe there would be many unexpected channels in these households that could come into play .
This was also the practice of repeated battles .
"For the defense alert in the twelve areas of East Fate City, I think our Bane household can contribute," a chubby young man raised his hand and said . "A new type of jamming device developed by our family can locate the enemy's specific position in jamming mode, which is equivalent to the enhanced bat fighter system . We are willing to contribute a hundred sets for free . "
"The Bane household right? Thank you for your support! How are the specific settings and moving condition of this type of jammer . . . "
"The specific parameters are as such . . . "
The two began to carefully discuss the layout plan .
The rest of the crowd were still whispering to one another . Garen and Celine stood at the back where they had deliberately walked to .
"Where's your Mech?" Celine whispered .
"In the battles.h.i.+p's Mech depot, why?" Garen asked .
"Take note, we are now really entering the battle zone . My Mech is a high-grade good brought out from the household . I can jump and leave at any time during crucial moments . Yours is just an ordinary good . If there is any problem, you will be in trouble," Celine whispered .
"I know," Garen nodded . "But benefits and risks coexist, don't they? Being able to watch an Inherited level battle doesn't come easily . The last Inherited-level battle record was a few decades ago . It was even cla.s.sified as the highest level of confidentiality . We have no way to access it . Now that there is this opportunity, it would be a waste if we do not take hold of it . "
"If we can find the key to Inherited Level, it will be very helpful for our advancement in the future . "
Minutes and seconds pa.s.sed by . Garen and Celine conversed softly . Like everyone else, the two appeared to be inconspicuous in a group of rich youngsters who were dressed in fancy clothes .
After some time, a s.h.i.+ning Mech figure finally appeared .
A s.h.i.+ning Mech suddenly leaped and appeared in front of the battles.h.i.+p, wielding a dagger as it dashed towards them in an attempt to pierce through the thick armor with its lone strength .
"Kill him!"
The commander waved his hand and several Blackboard Mechs flew out to meet it .
All of them were Black-Clothed Generals . They stood directly before the s.h.i.+ning Mech in a group .
The second batch of Blackboard Mechs flew out next . When they were about to lay siege to the other side, they encountered another s.h.i.+ning Mech .
Under the gloomy clouds, the Mechs could only be seen as interweaving red and white firepower in the air .
Suddenly, a beetle battles.h.i.+p exploded a distance away . Huge red flames spread across the sky, engulfing an area of hundreds of meters in the city below .
Two black and white humanoid Mechs flew out of the fireball . One of the Mechs was black with striking red eyes and two huge red scythes in its hands .
Two black and white humanoid Mechs flew out of the fireball . One of the Mechs was black with striking red eyes and two huge red scythes in its hands .
The other Mech was fully white, and both hands clutched a giant machete that glittered brightly . It was pursuing and hacking at the black Mech .
"It's Master Red-Eyed Medero!!" someone who recognized the black Mech called out in the battles.h.i.+p .
"Go and call for backup!" someone shouted .
"No! That's the strongest no . 5 s.h.i.+ning Mech under the Great Light Mech . I have seen the records before . None of us can be its opponent! Even Master Medero would not be able to hold out . We will only die if we go out!" someone opposed .
"Yes, and they're too close to each other and are entangled in close combat . If we can't keep up with their rhythm, we'll be doing a disservice!"
A group of people quickly concluded . The three commanders did not voice out and were calm and steady as if they already had a plan for this situation . However, some people were already feeling a little scared . A similar beetle battles.h.i.+p had been blown up, indicating that their side was not guaranteed to be safe .
"With the presence of Master Red Whale there won't be a problem!" someone said confidently . This statement slightly calmed the worried crowd . After all, this s.h.i.+p of theirs was different from other s.h.i.+ps . This s.h.i.+p was carrying important figures and the defense force was also more than three times stronger .
Medero dragged the No . 5 s.h.i.+ning Mech and left the area speedily, heading towards other areas . Very soon, they were out of sight .
Over on this side, the victor and the loser of the battle between the s.h.i.+ning Mechs and Blackboard Mechs of the battles.h.i.+p had also emerged . One s.h.i.+ning Mech had exploded while the other had fled; the Blackboard Mechs had lost two and a third had to be written off and could not fight again .
"Have you ever wondered why these White Light Mechs chose East Fate City for their declaration of war?" Garen looked at the s.h.i.+ning Mech that was fleeing away further and asked in a low voice .
Celine shook her head .
"I've never thought about it . But, the household a.n.a.lysts have a.n.a.lyzed that the real reason should be to attract attention and actually seek other purposes . "
"It's possible . But the biggest possibility is that they are trying to figure out how much combat power Blackboard Region can currently deploy . "
Garen conjectured, "From the previous pulse wave incident to the current formal declaration of war, perhaps there will be a greater action later on . I feel that such a huge price and action is no longer for the purpose of getting something . "
Celine thought deeply .
"Indeed . This kind of move should not be simply for that . If it is only for that purpose, they could have done it secretly . There is no need to make such a big fanfare . Too much power is spent here on direct confrontation . "
"So I'm guessing that it is likely that White Light itself is tangled up with Blackboard Region in something else," Garen whispered .
"Other aspects of the entanglement?" Celine thought about it .
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of an explosion from the battles.h.i.+p .
Pewwww!
Pewwww!
An ear-piercing harsh noise came from above .
The entire observation window of the battles.h.i.+p immediately became red . It was blinding and more than a dozen people's eyesight were affected in an instant . They screamed as tears flowed from their clenched eyes .
The battles.h.i.+p shook violently and returned to its calmed state .
"It's Master Red Whale's Bright Eyes!!" one commander shouted, "Don't worry, Master Red Whale has made his move . I believe it will soon be a success!"
Pewwwww!
Suddenly there was a shrill cry again . The floor-to-ceiling window turned red once more .
Garen did not close his eyes but looked straight at the vast red light . Such brightness was nothing to him .
But from the cries of these two voices, he had a bad feeling .
While everyone was closing their eyes to avoid the red light, he promptly held Celine's hand and swiftly moved backward, running towards the Mech depot . Their footsteps were silent and no one actually realized when they entered another pa.s.sageway .
"What are you doing!?" Celine shook off his hand and asked loudly .
"I'm afraid there's a bit of danger," Garen explained as he walked . He quickly came to the Mech depot and took out his special permit . He brushed it in front of the guard and got permission .
After the electronic door opened automatically, he pulled Celine inside .
"Find your Mech right away . We may have to flee here quickly . "
"What do you mean? How could it be!?" Celine said unbelievingly . "We actually have a troop of thirty-two Black-Clothed Generals escorting our battles.h.i.+p . It's impossible to have any problems!"
"Of course it is unlikely that something will happen now . But what if His Highness Red Whale is defeated?" Garen said plainly .
"That… shouldn't be possible!" Celine looked a little sluggish .
"There's nothing that's impossible! I'm not here just to simply go one round around the city and then head back . Wouldn't you want to watch an Inherited Level battle up close? The battle should be happening above our heads right now . "
Garen enticed .
"You're crazy!" Celine's eyes widened . "Both of us, Level Two and Level Three brats go up close to watch a life-and-death battle of Level Six Inherited Levels?"
"I'm not crazy . If you want to go then get into your Mech!" Garen went straight to the front of his Mech and stepped onto the elevator platform .
"You're crazy!" Celine's eyes widened . "Both of us, Level Two and Level Three brats go up close to watch a life-and-death battle of Level Six Inherited Levels?"
"I'm not crazy . If you want to go then get into your Mech!" Garen went straight to the front of his Mech and stepped onto the elevator platform .
Wuuu…
The elevator-platform sensed the arrival of the owner and slowly rose .
Celine clenched her teeth and spoke no further . She quickly ran to her own elevator platform .
Her Mech was a black double s.h.i.+eld humanoid with silver borders . Her two s.h.i.+elds were weapons of destruction with sharp serrations at the edge, not just for defending .
At this time, Garen had already jumped into his own Mech and sat in the c.o.c.kpit . He hit the activate key .
Duuu…
The Mech glowed all around . Blocks of floating light curtains and strips of white data flowed and surrounded the body .
'Double Blade Captain, proceed with armor charge?" the battles.h.i.+p central computer enquired .
"Of course," Garen sat up straight, his eyes sparkling with excitement . He took out a small black box from his pocket . It was obvious that the surface of the box had been disguised so that it looked ordinary .
He pressed the box to the console and the entire box melted directly into the inner parts of the Mech .
"Double Edge No . 1, all set to go . "
"Combat readiness system complete by default . "
"Combat readiness system complete by default . "
"Ejection device ready!"
"Ejection device ready!"
"Set off!"
Boom!
The Double Edge Mech lit up at once . The gigantic body blasted off and launched through the opening of the spiral pathway above .
