Wow! The item-dropping rate is really high! Chapter 447 388 Alone into the Battle Formation2

"Does he have confidence?"

If they could win, the commander-in-chief did not want to return with a defeat.

"..."

Silence.

The question was whether the ch pilot who made the decision on his own had confidence, and at this mont, anyone who dared to guarantee that would have to bear the bet themselves.

No one dared to make the guarantee. Enjoy new tales from My Virtual Library Empire

The commander-in-chief narrowed his eyes, and his gray stubble beard also showed a hint of hesitation.

Trust?

Or to play it safe?

Bai E?

This na, he was well aware of.

Born of artificial humans but achieving a leap no artificial human had before, Bai E beca an existence with equal opportunities as natural humans.

Not only did he have Carlos's full confidence, but even Hamilton, who regarded artificial humans as dirt, spoke highly of him.

It seed even the neutral faction Dewa also held goodwill towards him.

In many actions he had previously participated in, he perford brilliantly, accomplishing in a short ti what other warriors could not imagine in a lifeti, thus directly exchanging his military rits for a precious vial of Gene Optimization Solution.

Geniuses certainly have their monts of arrogance, and the regrets they cause are often far greater than those of diocrities.

But trusting in those shining geniuses can also create incredibly dazzling miracles.

"Order the ch combat team..." the commander-in-chief spoke slowly, "full-speed support! I believe in our soldiers, they will not let down their holand."

The ch commander was slightly startled, then responded vigorously, "Yes, sir!"

...

"Hiss~"

Waves of heat from the Flathrower surged violently from both arms, the core's high temperature burning the stubborn bugs that clung to the gaps, preventing detachnt from the ch, causing them to fall like raindrops from its legs.

The ch flipped through the air, and the charred bug corpses littered the ground.

This was the bug race's last line of defense, and of course, Bai E could not allow his ch to carry these encumbrances for a decapitating strike.

One step forward, and he would be facing the artillery beast, and farther away, three red giants were still striding over.

Their movents were slow, but their steps were large.

[...Countdown: 2 minutes 17 seconds.]

Glancing at the tir on the dashboard, Bai E knew that the true combat ti he had left was far less than this.

"Zing!"

The war blade unsheathed, and the tal war blade made from Octium alloy reflected a sharp gleam in the sunlight.

A nearby common artillery bug turned its barrel, aiming the single-barreled biological cannon at the massive entity just a stone's throw away, with worm-like projectiles writhing eagerly inside.

"Putt!"

A flash of the blade, and the bug was bisected.

The shoulder-mounted rotary machine gun began to spin, a torrent of flas unleashing a fierce tal storm. The endless tide of worker bugs and bee bugs composed of the bug race was ripped apart by the blue and white painted ch, as the tallic war machine lightly descended from the sky...

A combat ch was far more than just the poor armants used in training, as countless weapons of mass destruction ard this towering Titan-class ch to the teeth.

A forward roll, and the long sword in hand already swept towards the lower limb of the beast trying to dodge.

"Puff!"

The war blade slashed through, and the limb gushed blood.

[The basic Titan-class ard ch you are piloting used a proficient weapon attack to hit the target, "Specialty — chanical Rhythm" experience 1.]

[You caused 50 points of slashing damage to the target!]

[Current "Specialty — chanical Rhythm" experience 218/2000, when it reaches 2000 points you can master "Specialty — chanical Rhythm (5/7 level)".]

[Based on the effect of your attack, you gain the following information—]

[??? (Bug Race): Health 2350 ( 5/S)/3000; Defensive Power: 500 (100); Attack Power (Type: Bludgeoning) 600~???; Traits: Giant Beast Template, Trait: Thickened Armor, Trait: Symbiotic Weapon—Shatter Cannon, Trait: Organ Absorption; Mobility: 10%...]

```

The colossal beast had already suffered considerable injuries; the unified barrage from the military's V3 rocket vehicles wasn't as futile as it appeared on the surface.

But beneath the colossus, Bai E saw nurous shriveled bodies of worker bugs and bee bugs.

Whether from analyzing the wounds or recalling from mory, Bai E could confirm that it was neither his doing... nor the masterpiece of the missile volleys launched by the V3 rocket vehicles.

It could only have been the beast itself... that trait known as "Organ Absorption," which had absorbed the biomass from the smaller bugs nearby, converting it into the materials needed to restore its own health points.

Unfortunately, the enemy's health was continuously recovering; fortunately... this was an opponent that could be defeated.

The drop rate panel could only show the approximate level of the opponent; it still took actual combat information for Bai E to analyze how to defeat the opponent.

The beast's defensive power astonishingly showed two levels of defense, one at 100, the other at 500.

This clearly indicated that there was a significant difference between the defense of the back and lower limbs, providing a special hint and coinciding with everyone's observations of the colossal beast.

"Pfft!"

Facing Bai E who had rushed toward it, the beast did not just wait to be defeated.

Only upon getting close did Bai E realize that on each of the beast's arm-like appendages, located closest to the head, there was a gun-like biological structure.

And at that mont, the biological gun muzzles aid at the cha piloted by Bai E and Rose, violently spraying out two puddles of earthy yellow pus.

"Hiss~"

The sound of corrosion imdiately arose from the right thigh of the cha; even though Bai E reacted instantly, the cha's massive size still made it difficult to completely dodge.

"Beep~ Beep~ Beep~"

A not-so-sharp alarm sounded in the cockpit, reminding them of the potency of the corrosive acid, which clearly wasn't as terrifying as the beast's other thod of attack — the Shatter Cannon. Up against the most advanced material that humanity could currently produce — Octonary Alloy — it could only achieve a certain degree of erosion.

Tiny worms surged in the sticky fluid, attempting to burrow deeper into the cha.

It was a minor degree but persistent.

"Don't mind the acid."

Bai E glanced at the information displayed on the cha control panel and imdiately made a decision.

It wasn't that the cha was completely immune, but in the short span of a few minutes, the acid wouldn't affect the cha enough to interfere with its movents.

And these few minutes were critical to deciding the outco of the war.

"Buzz~"

The combat blade whirred, slicing through the air.

Bai E aid at one of the beast's lower limbs that was already injured, where the flesh was charred black, clearly damaged in the previous bombardnt.

However, as the combat blade swept across, it was slightly off target.

The white lower limbs were also the beast's weak points, but the unaffected parts of the chitin armor still possessed the defensive power it was supposed to have.

Even though it couldn't fully block the combat blade's strike, it still mitigated so of the damage.

[Your attack has caused 30 points of slashing damage to the target!]

"Off target?" Rose asked subconsciously, sowhat surprised.

In her mind, Bai E never made mistakes at crucial monts.

"Yes." Bai E frowned tightly, finding the reason—

No matter how much the cha resembled the human body, it was ultimately not a human body.

Controlling a weapon through an external object was never as direct as using one's own body.

The hand that controlled the cha to grasp the combat blade always had a strange sense of detachnt, and there was an elusive feeling regarding the precision of control over the angle, direction, and force of the blade.

It was sufficient to bully his ch pilot teammates, who were equally inexperienced, in everyday practice, but on a real battlefield where every milliter mattered, the control was utterly unreliable.

One important reason for this was the conversion rate of chanical rhythm; however, Bai E's own Level 2 Light Firearms Specialization also limited his current performance.

With a flash in his eyes, Bai E ntally allocated his points—

[Paynt: 1412 combat experience points.]

[You have learned "Level 4 Light Firearms Specialization," and concurrently received 2 latent points.]

[Light Firearms Specialization (Level 4): Attack speed 12%, Armor Penetration 4%, Perception Break (Special) 2%.]

[Detection of character's current "Level 4 Light Firearms Specialization," skill tree unlocked: Magic Blade, Lightfoot Dance.]

[Current unlock requirents: General/Combat experience *1000 (cost doubles for each additional skill of the sa level unlocked), Latent Points *2 (fixed).]
