Chapter 415: New Combat Style (3)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
After gaining the compression technology, both the depth and breadth of a chanic’s combat abilities would drastically increase. They would gain the ability to take control of the situation or even turn the tables imdiately. The focus was to deploy the machinery as fast as possible and the right combination of machinery at the right place. The speed of deploying that machinery would have a very large impact on the outco of the battle.
After the version of chanics rising, the thod that other Supers used was mostly striking and charging before the chanic could deploy their machinery fully. If a chanic was allowed to deploy their weapons freely, the situation would be irreversible, and the enemy would slide down the abyss of failure. Of course, this was in the case of normal situations, not considering so special abilities or items.
In the case of battle tempo, chanics always had the upper hand. The enemies were forced to follow it and stop chanics from deploying their machinery. This was a very big advantage. Furthermore, even if the chanic’s tempo was broken temporarily and they did not have the ti to deploy the machinery fully, the enemies could not let their guard down. If the chanic caught their breath and deployed the machinery afterward, the tables would turn in an instant, and the enemies’ effort before would all go to waste.
Han Xiao’s chanic class was now beginning to take shape and possessed this tough ability. He was also very experienced, so it was impossible for his speed of deploying the machinery to be slow. This ti, cannons and fire covered the entire place, so the Sunil rcenaries inevitably fell one after another. This was just a spar, so the Sunil rcenaries who fell onto the ground were dragged off the battlefield by Herlous, who stood on the side. Ever since the battle started, he had been kept busy by doing this continuously. He had never been given a chance to even rest.
A Pugilist rcenary flexed his legs, then jumped up into the air, drawing a parabola in the air, wanting to jump over the floor filled with traps and reach Han Xiao.
At this ti, a tal trap that he jumped over was suddenly triggered. A grenade shot up into the air and exploded with a bang. A blue, net-shaped current extended out from the center of the explosion. This was a capturing trap ford by long, thin tal cables with a high voltage running through it. It shrouded the Pugilist rcenary who was still in midair.
Buzz!
This guy scread in agony as his skin was burnt black by the current, then he fell down to another repulsion trap. An invisible force pushed this guy up into the air again, and a few artilleries turned toward him and focus fired. The bullets pushed him out of the area.
He fell to the ground, unconscious.
This stopped the other rcenaries from wanting to jump up.
“It’s not so easy to jump across all that.” Han Xiao smiled. There were landmines in the traps, and there were also traps that could sense objects above them and attack accordingly to prevent enemies from getting close in midair.
Within the range of his chanical Force, any machinery received bonuses from him. So artillery was placed beside him, and its power was enhanced multiple tis. Whoever was at the front would face the most violent and heaviest attacks. Because of this, the rcenaries spread out and charged from all directions, diverting the firepower from the artillery.
Lerden was covered in a green shield that was flickering under the rain of bullets as he charged forward. In other directions, there was quite a number of rcenaries who were equipped with shield generators. The colorful shields charged through the cannons and traps, approaching quickly.
Han Xiao ford a hook with his fingers. Another batch of compressed orbs flew out and dropped beside him, expanding into twenty or so beast shaped robots. Their size was about the sa as dium-sized dog breeds, but they were covered in black armor and had a streamlined body like cheetahs, like armored panthers. There was an opening on both of their shoulders, exposing the triple mounted gun barrels from the machine guns inside. Their tails were very swift and looked like a scorpion tail, at the end of which was a sharp alloy blade.
Han Xiao had prepared three combos. One was the Multi-Turret Firepower Coverage Style, which did not require any technicality. Another was the Trap Style, which required a little bit of control, mainly regarding where to place which traps and whether these traps could protect him and limit the enemies’ movent. The last was the Hound Style.
The Hound Style was controlling a group of small chanic beasts, entangling, harassing, and culling the enemies like hounds. As the basic machinery that ford this style was called chanical Hounds, hence the na. This blueprint was rather easy to obtain. Han Xiao was using an enhanced version of chanical beasts.
[‘Black Panther’ Combat chanic Beast] was a new blueprint that he had created after combining nurous low-level chanical beast blueprints. One ‘Black Panther” had 2,700 points of armor, and the basic chanical hound only had 1,500. Its attack was also increased by around seventy percent. It had more functions and better performance. Of course, it possessed the essential self-destruction ability.
“Go,” Han Xiao said. The twenty or so chanical Black Panthers dashed out extrely quickly as the barrels on their shoulders opened fire. They swiftly moved across the battlefield between the gaps of the traps, attacking from the rear and the sides of the enemies. These were the weak points of their defense, and their speed was imdiately slowed down.
As soon as any rcenary got close to the chanical Black Panther, it would jump away, always keeping its distance and only going closer to the enemy when attacking.
Sotis, three or four chanic Black Panthers would cooperate with each other, diverting the enemies’ attention from different directions while one of them attacked from the back, slashing with its tail and dealing quite an amount of damage.
chanical Black Panthers were equipped with smart chips, and four of them ford a group. They could only carry out so simple tactical strategies in fours. Han Xiao’s ability to build chips was still at the basic level, so the chanic Black Panthers’ combat ability was not independent enough. The number of orders that they could recognize and carry out was limited, so they could only be used to harass.
With the combination of artilleries, traps, and chanical beasts, it was as if the Sunil rcenaries were walking in a quagmire; every step forward was difficult. Han Xiao observed the effect and nodded.
“This combination is not afraid of being outnumbered and can easily crush Supers that are weaker than . Even when used against Supers of the sa grade, it can also restrain and harass... Of course, it will be heavily damaged as well.”
Bang!
As he was thinking, a chanical Black Panther was blown away and smashed into an artillery, bending its barrels.
Han Xiao looked over. Finally, soone passed through the lockdown. Lerden was covered in a green light. Having finally arrived before Han Xiao, he growled, and the green light turned into a spear in his hands, which he strongly thrust forward!
Clank!
In the blink of an eye, the compressed orb on Han Xiao’s necklace expanded, and a white chanical suit covered him instantly!
The spear stabbed at his chest but was unable to move even an inch forward through the bone-white chanical suit. Without saying anything, Han Xiao raised his hand and slapped down.
Boom!
Lerden was smashed onto the floor by the slap, facing downward. His face was planted into the ground instantly, no match for Han Xiao at all.
The people’s faces changed. Han Xiao’s appearance had changed—he was in a white combat suit, the armor texture looked like bones, yet it was unbelievably strong and hard. It looked like a knight’s armor made of bone.
Its shape was gorgeous. The shoulders were carved to look like dragon heads, and the chest and the waist pieces were had highly-flexible joints to allow swifter movent, complenting the streamlined body shape. Not knowing if it was an illusion, the people present felt that this chanical suit was giving out a very mysterious aura.
[Void Dragon] Single Unit chanical Suit.
Compared to the snake series chanical suits such as Python and Amphiptere, this dragon series chanical suit had stronger capabilities. It was not because it involved more advanced technologies but because its material was rare. It was made from the Void Dragon Bone that he had obtained on Floating Dragon Island. It was light yet durable, and it had special energy within. This chanical suit did not have that many weapons; it was used specifically for hand to hand combat. Its armor was a horrifying amount of more than 30,000 points. Furthermore, the Void Dragon Bone granted the chanical suit extra abilities.
Han Xiao had three compressed orbs on his necklace, and all of them were chanical suits. One was Void Dragon, and the other two were the backup Amphipteres. Whether a chanic was strong or not depended on the number and attributes of their equipnt. He had both the number and the attributes, and that was because he had enough money.
Seeing this, the other rcenaries stopped moving forward and said with a bitter smile, “We admit our loss.”
The difference in strength was too vast. They had battled through all the obstacles and finally gotten close only to realize that Han Xiao himself was stronger than all his machinery. It was a completely impossible battle to win. There were around a hundred of them, so originally, they had thought that Han Xiao was outnumbered, but now, they felt that they were the ones that were outnumbered.
They clearly surrounded Han Xiao, yet it felt like Han Xiao surrounded all of them by himself.
Han Xiao had yet to finish testing all his weapons, so there was still a huge cannon that he did not deploy. He wanted to continue, but seeing that the rcenaries had given up, he could only collect all his machinery, disappointed.
After cleaning up the battlefield, these Sunil rcenaries gathered in front of Han Xiao. They were only lightly injured. Their eyes were now filled with respect and fear.
The strong is always respected.
Han Xiao said a few words, mostly saying that they had passed his test and that their ability was not bad. Then he got rid of the Sunils and told them to start doing their missions.
Han Xiao returned to the stronghold alone and went to the machinery modification room. He pondered and concluded his experience.
“According to the current effect, the strategy that I planned is now mostly ready. My level 95 class advancent requirent is rather difficult, so I might be stuck at this level for quite so ti. This combination of styles is very strong at the current stage, so it can be used as a filler before class advancent. Plus, there are many ways to enhance it...”
He took out the weapons that he had recently built and observed the item attributes on the interface once again.
The variety of artilleries and traps was very rich—mostly made out of new blueprints that he had obtained from combining several blueprints—and their various performances were all 25% – 40% better in comparison.
He looked at Void Dragon’s data. Amphiptere was a very well-rounded chanical suit, so he did not build another one of the sa style. Void Dragon was focused on lee battles. As its material was rare, it had very strong additional abilities.
