Chapter 1414: Chapter 435: New World chanical Group Chapter 1414: Chapter 435: New World chanical Group Over a month later.
East Wilderness.
Moss Wilderness.
This was a desolate, uninhabited region of the East Wilderness, spanning tens of thousands of miles without a single human settlent.
Once a remote area not even marked on the maps of the Card Master Federation.
The wilderness was abundant with what it lacked least—seas of green fluorescent wild grass.
When the breeze blew, large swathes of wild grass undulated like waves, resembling a glowing ocean.
Just then, a gust of wind swept by, revealing tallic luster deep in the grass sea—evidently several “Hunting God Armor” chanical Battle Armors were there.
Focusing one’s gaze, a group of seven or eight chanics wearing liquid combat suits were using the cover of the grass sea to hide themselves.
The group seed to be in bad shape, with everyone showing fatigue, and two among them lying down, barely hanging onto life.
They had been besieged on the wilderness for over half a month.
A feeling of despair was spreading.
“Brother Seven, if we don’t return to the city to resupply soon, our battle armor’s kinetic materials and consumables will run out. And then there’s Gibb, Rocky… they might not make it…”
“Milly, you’re putting the captain in a tough spot. Those people from the Orlan Royal Court have been chasing us for over a month, you think they can’t kill us? They just want us to lead them to our base, to find its location. If we go back, we’ll endanger everyone…”
“But now that we’ve turned off the communication signal with the base, they must be sending soone after us as well. After all, we have the ‘Divine Fire Cannon experintal equipnt and data.’ The people from the Orlan Royal Court will certainly try to capture any search party…”
“Ah. I hope the search team finds the encrypted intelligence we left behind before they’re discovered; otherwise, we’re in trouble.”
“…”
The eight chanics weren’t old; the one called “captain” was a spirited young girl nad Seven Brown.
The rest were her classmates from the Royal chanical Academy.
These people were talented in the field of Machinery, but because they were from the commoner class and lacked the money to support experints and equipnt, they had not stood out at the Federation chanical Warfare Academy.
Thinking they were insignificant and that the Song Family had already made preparations, the Orlan Royal Family had not conscripted them.
Now they made up the elite chanical battalion of the Song Family, responsible for operating the first mass-produced chanical Battle Armor, with an interesting na—the New World chanical Legion.
Their mission this ti was to cover the experintal team testing so secret high-power equipnt in the wilderness.
Sohow they got targeted by the Orlan Royal Family, leading to a month-long siege, suffering nurous casualties.
Those remaining had no chance of survival.
In the East Wilderness, no one could be sure of rescuing them from this quandary.
…
The small team huddled in a circle, discussing their current situation.
Everyone’s tone was downtrodden.
A deathly aura hung over the mounds of grass.
Seven Brown remained silent, not speaking.
As the captain, her spirit was particularly heavy.
She was more aware of their dire situation than anyone else.
The Orlan Royal Court had sent a Titan Battle Armor after them, making their chance of survival slim.
But… she would never give up!
Seeing the lowered morale, Seven Brown’s gaze swept over her teammates who had fought and survived together, pronouncing each of their nas: “Gibb, Rocky, Dina, Donna, Irene, Rogue, Windlin… At the chanical Academy, we were classmates who trusted each other. Now, we are battle companions fighting shoulder to shoulder. Any hardship, as long as we are united, there is hope to overco…”
This speech roused their spirits, with the seven mbers turning their eyes towards her.
In their eyes, Seven Brown was not only the captain but also a guiding light in the field of Machinery.
Whether it was her chanical prowess, combat skills, chivalrous character… or anything else, she was the role model they all looked up to.
That speech was the foundation of their absolute trust in her.
Catching the encouragent in her words, the air of death in their eyes faded slightly.
Seven Brown continued, confronting the expectant gazes, “I don’t want to hide from you all; our situation is very grim. Be ntally prepared. We cannot return to base unless we deal with our pursuers. And if captured alive, please initiate self-destruct imdiately. We absolutely can’t let our bodies fall into enemy hands. That includes myself. Only in this way can we ensure others are not implicated…”
At this point, a girl with freckles and black hair from the team spoke up, “Captain, we’re not afraid to die. It’s just… it feels suffocating to have such strong equipnt yet be trapped by the enemy…”
As soon as she said this, soone beside her passionately added, “Right! We’re not afraid of death. Because of you, Brother Seven, we’ve been able to handle such peak Machinery as the Hunting God Armor and access top-tier chanical knowledge. My life’s dream has been to pilot the best battle armor and charge across battlefields. Now that my dream has co true, I’ll have no fear even if I die pursuing it!”
“Yes! We’ll fight the Orlan Royal Court to the bitter end! We, the ‘New World chanical Battalion,’ will never yield to intimidation.”
“Absolutely! I’ve always firmly believed that Machinery will carry civilization into a new world! Even if our battalion falls this ti, the future will surely rember us, the ‘New World Group,’ who once fought for the machine civilization!”
“…”
As the words fell, the other team mbers beca enthused.
The oppressive feeling of death was swept away in an instant, leaving only the fiery resolve of the young chanics facing mortality.
Watching her teammates, Seven Brown nodded solemnly.
