Although the Morgan Conglomerate saw through Lin Xinghaiâs intentions, they were unfortunately powerless to stop him.
Lin Xinghai fired with incredible speed. But more importantly, his Gun Technique was so good he could score a hit just by casually raising his weapon.
It was futile for the other Mechas to try and block the bullets with their own bodies. Lin Xinghaiâs Speed was simply too great; all he had to do was casually change direction while moving, and they couldnât keep up at all.
Besides, the two Mechas who stayed behind with Lin Xinghai werenât just there to watch the show. They also raised their Electromagnetic Railguns and opened fire.
Their Gun Technique couldnât compare to Lin Xinghaiâs, so it was difficult for them to hit the Armored Vehiclesâ wheels in one shot from a distance. But if one shot didnât work, they fired two. If two didnât work, they fired three. And if all else failed, they could even launch Micro Missiles. One way or another, they were bound to damage the Armored Vehicles.
At first, the Morgan Conglomerate forces tried to intercept the attacks, but they quickly realized it was impossible. They then decided to counter-attack, but to their dismay, that method didnât work either.
Because they werenât fast enough to catch them...
It was one thing not to be able to catch Lin Xinghaiâs Mecha, but the other two that stayed behind were also built for Speed, and they couldnât catch them either.
All they could do was watch helplessly as one Armored Vehicle after another ground to a halt.
After half of their Armored Vehicles were disabled, the Mecha pilots saw that the situation was hopeless. After a quick discussion, they finally ordered the remaining vehicles to fall back and regroup with the main force.
The reason they had to discuss it first was that Lin Xinghai had already killed both their captain and vice-captain. The entire squad was now leaderless.
If Cobra hadnât deliberately taken charge, they would have likely fallen into even greater chaos.
After all the commotion, they realized that the Three Major Mercenary Corps had unknowingly pulled more than 500 meters ahead of them.
However, Mechas were faster than Armored Vehicles. Now that they werenât being held back, they were confident they could catch up even faster.
Of course, all of this was predicated on Lin Xinghai ceasing his harassmentâbut that was obviously not going to happen.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
Lin Xinghai and the two other Mechas continuously fired their Electromagnetic Railguns.
Unfortunately, with the Morgan Conglomerate forces deliberately on guard, even Lin Xinghai found it difficult to inflict any substantial damage on their Mechas.
They couldnât completely dodge Lin Xinghaiâs shots, but since they were just trying to evade rather than fight back, they could still manage to turn their torsos in time to protect their Mechasâ vulnerable spots whenever they sensed danger.
And so, over the next stretch, the Morgan Conglomerateâs forces gradually closed the distance on the Three Major Mercenary Corps.
What puzzled them, however, was that even though Lin Xinghaiâs attacks seemed futile, he showed no signs of stopping, firing shot after shot.
One after another, fist-sized craters appeared on their outer armor.
By the time they were only 100 meters away from the convoy, basically every Mecha had five or six new impact craters.
Normally, it wouldnât be strange for a Mecha to have dozens of impact craters after a major battle. But as Cobra looked at the new craters on his alliesâ Mechas, a strange sense of unease crept into his heart.
âHe felt like he was missing something.â
Suddenly, his pupils contracted. He finally realized what was different about these new craters compared to the others.
These craters were all clustered around their cockpits. Some were directly on the cockpitâs exterior plating.
And at that exact moment, Lin Xinghai stopped his evasive maneuvers. All by himself, he charged straight at their formation.
On the Morgan Conglomerateâs comms channel, they had been in a heated discussion about how to stall the Three Major Mercenary Corpsâ forces and avoid being focused down by their Hand Cannons once they caught up. Now, seeing Lin Xinghai charge directly at them, they were all stunned into silence.
"Careful! Protect your cockpits, especially the areas with new impact craters on the outer armor!" Cobra shouted. At the same time, he unleashed his Superpower. A layer of snake scales instantly covered his Mechaâs surface, significantly boosting its Defense Power.
Cobra reacted instantly, but the others were still in a daze.
Their side had already lost five Mechas in the initial missile exchange, and Lin Xinghai had subsequently destroyed another five. They were down to just ten.
But that was when Lin Xinghai had taken advantage of the chaos of a large-scale battle.
But for Lin Xinghai to charge them all by himself nowâto challenge ten Mechas at once? They had never heard of anyone attempting something so insane. It was a complete death wish!
Of course, they considered it a one-man charge because they had completely disregarded the two Mechas in the distanceâthe ones with poor Gun Technique who didnât dare get close.
For these reasons, the members of the Morgan Conglomerate didnât believe Lin Xinghai posed much of a threat, and their reactions were naturally a bit slow.
In stark contrast, Lin Xinghai unleashed his full power. His Speed, which he had been maintaining at around 2000 points, now exploded to 4000 without hesitation. His Mecha closed the distance like a phantom, leaving afterimages as it rushed toward the outermost Mecha in the enemy formation.
That Mechaâs pilot was a bit slow to react, but as one of the Morgan Conglomerateâs elites, his response to a sudden crisis was still extremely fast.
He swung the Giant Hammer in his hand almost without hesitation. At the same time, he activated his Superpower, instantly engulfing the entire hammer in a layer of fire as he swept it forward.
He knew Lin Xinghai was fast and a direct strike might not connect, so he opted for a horizontal sweep. This attack had the widest possible range; if his opponent charged from the front, there was no way to dodge it.
With his comradesâ Mechas to his left, right, and rear, he had no need to worry about an attack from those directions. This was the advantage of fighting in a formation.
BOOM!
His Giant Hammer actually struck Lin Xinghaiâs Mecha.
To be precise, Lin Xinghai had intentionally met the Giant Hammer with his right shoulder.
At the same time, in the instant his opponentâs defenses were wide open, he thrust out with the Mjolnir in his hand.
SCREECH!
A piercing metallic screech rang out. The Mjolnir, carrying a terrifying impact force, followed the path of a crater he had deliberately created earlier. It smoothly penetrated the outer armor and plunged deep into the cockpit.
Trading an injury for a kill!
And he had done it while facing ten enemies.
Everyone who witnessed this felt a chill run down their spine, making their scalps tingle with fear.
âAre we about to be completely wiped out by this one Mecha?â
