Chapter 348 Pterosaur + Mecha + Pilot =?
"I'm going to be spicy!"
Cheng Tian and others drove the mecha and descended from the sky with the help of the landing main thruster.
After hearing Cheng Tian's strange cry coming from the communicator, Azriel, who was the spearhead of the entire team and bore most of the opponent's firepower, relaxed his tense expression a little.
Due to the whitewashing, Azrael's combat strategy has completely changed. In a sense, he is no longer the kind of hero who will do anything to achieve his goal, but has become more naive.
If it was before he was whitewashed by Cheng Tian, Azriel would definitely use his subordinates as bait or pile up heads to create loopholes to attack and destroy the opponent's mecha.
But now he can no longer do it.
He did not want to sacrifice these like-minded people who shared the same ideals of national restoration in order to achieve his strategic goals, even if they were willing to sacrifice themselves.
So when the train was about to enter the heavily guarded core base, Azriel, who chose to take the first step, as the spearhead of the entire team, took the initiative to bear the pressure from the three advanced mechas on the opposite side.
In the original plot, Azrael fought three battles with the Blood Armor Squad, and each time ended in failure. However, he escaped unscathed in the first two battles, which also allowed his Warlock to be strengthened twice.
But now, the Azrael Warlock is the original version. The Warlock without any additional reinforcement can withstand the pressure of Helion + Blind Engineer + Scud, which depends entirely on the performance of the pilot.
"Be careful! They are—"
"Leave it to me!"
Before Azriel could finish his reminder, Cheng Tian interrupted him and immediately began to assign combat targets.
Bazette was assigned to meet the Blind Sapper.
Because it is unmanned, the Blind Engineer does not need to consider the safety of the passengers inside, so its movement speed is as high as 7 stars. Except for Azrael's Warlock, which can predict and shoot based on the driver's performance, other Gates-class ships with a movement speed of only 2 stars cannot even smell its exhaust.
It is also equipped with an arm part called a "shield cannon" which is very rare in both camps.
This is a part with a small missile launcher and electromagnetic cannon embedded inside the shield. It is the only part of all arm parts that can provide shield defense.
From a pure player's perspective, as long as you can get this shield gun component, the game is equivalent to being completed.
But now this thing is in the hands of the enemy, and it is an unmanned mecha with extremely fast movement speed and the ability to block and parry accurately. You can imagine how difficult it is.
But Cheng Tian chose a targeted approach.
The blind engineer can block and roam to output, so you can directly arrange a melee mecha that can use fists to knock away missiles to fight it.
Although Jaeger's movement speed is only 3 stars, he is equipped with a turbojet and can move regardless of the terrain. Now he is just waiting for a flaw and an opportunity to get close.
The Scorpion Scud, which is not as fast as the Blind Engineer but has a unique "three-color armor system", is also very annoying.
Its insect-like legs make its movements difficult to predict, and its multiple weapons can attack the same point in different directions at the same time.
But when the paint on his body changes color, Scud will gain corresponding special abilities.
Blue corresponds to "wavy plasma flow", which can release a plasma flow that surges forward like a wave. It is a range attack and has a chance to paralyze the mecha for a short period of time.
Green corresponds to "high voltage current", which has extremely strong single-unit destructive power. The driver in the Gates mecha who was electrocuted let out a short "Ahhhhhh!" scream and then became completely silent. The mecha could still be driven, but the driver didn't know whether he was dead or had electric shock.
Red corresponds to "explosive bomb injection", which uses walking legs, pincers, and tail stingers to insert high-explosive bombs into the ground, which can easily melt Gates' fragile armor.
This kind of individual, which poses a great threat in close combat, of course needs two ranged specialists assigned to it.
Irene, who was driving the Elf, and Mina, who was driving the Metroid (on loan), began to take advantage of their long-range expertise, using rapid-fire suppression and precise strikes in parallel to further compress Scud's movement.
As for Cheng Tian himself, he and the Warlock went directly to confront Helion, who looked like the Decepticon Dizzy when he was a child.
As a mecha that can switch between helicopter, semi-helicopter and humanoid form, Helion has the strongest air control in the Armored Warrior mecha system.
The turbojet accessories on the legs of ordinary mechas are actually just suspended in the air for a few meters at most, which is enough to allow the mecha to cross complex terrain. Even if the accessories are used, the ability is only similar to the catapult jump of the radar, which is far from real flight.
So when the pilot of Helion found that Cheng Tian and others were coming to reinforce, he decisively chose to change back into helicopter form, avoiding the artillery fire on the ground while quickly taking off into the air, further increasing the distance.
Due to the positioning and structure of the machine, Helion cannot use full-coverage metal armor in the cockpit, but can only use reinforced glass that allows direct vision. This reduces the driver's safety to the lowest point, and only fully mechanically modified soldiers can drive it.
The reason why they didn't run away before was because the built-in program of the Helion pilot determined that the existing guards and three advanced mechas were enough to devour Azrael and his group who had hurried over.
As long as the warlock who is bearing the pressure collapses, the entire team will collapse in a chain reaction.
But when Azriel managed to hold on until support showed up, the situation immediately changed.
After the camera quickly scanned and confirmed that the support machine was Cheng Tian and his group who had taken away the radar, the driver immediately made the decision to "sacrifice other mechas and return quickly" and put it into action.
Cheng Tian's Heart Barrier has a very low capture rate for units that do not touch the ground, and the Helion also has a 6-star movement speed, making it difficult to capture accurately... But this does not mean that Cheng Tian has no ability to pursue the Helion at all.
Cheng Tian was seen emitting magical fluctuations representing the activation of nightmare-type skills. A line suddenly appeared between the Gates LB "Orange" he was currently driving, which was incorporated into the chariot matrix sequence, and the "Reins of the Stone Pterosaur" in the inventory. Soon, the reins became ethereal and disappeared. Instead, the Orange driven by Cheng Tian began to undergo physical changes like a biological mutation.
A pair of pterosaur wings that matched the specifications of the body "grew" out from behind Gates. At the same time, the camera on Gates' head began to multiply and fission, and finally turned into a dragon head exactly the same as the original stone pterosaur.
When the dragon's mouth opened wide, a mechanical face that looked like the same one engraved on Cheng Tian's Fiery Sun Mask appeared from inside.
Devil's Concerto! Launch!
Gates LB + Original Stone Pterosaur = Winged Gates!
On this basis, Cheng Tian's main body chose to superimpose and merge with it...
Soaring into the sky! Sunwing Gates!
