Chapter 1899: Chapter 574: Mysterious Attacker

A dozen days later.

The sound of artillery was almost continuous, day and night.

In the Extraordinary World, both mechas and Curse Cards are expensive to produce, while cannons are almost the most cost-effective long-range attack means.

The two sides bombarded each other across the vast plains in front of Hell’s Gate Canyon, for ten entire days and nights.

The Orlan Royal Court side employed a swarm tactic that was unafraid of casualties, making this war exceptionally brutal.

The area before the Jilan Defense Line had long been a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, with a large number of cannon fodder turning into cold corpses on the battlefield every day. Under the blood-red light, even the moon in the sky turned an eerie crimson color.

Under such fierce offensives, the situation on the Alliance’s side was far from optimistic.

Although the Alliance had the support of many black technologies from the new world, their resources were limited.

And now that Orlan Royal Court had conquered the entire East Wilderness, resources were nearly infinite.

Over the years of resisting invasions from the Southern Continent, the production capacity of various war workshops in the East Wilderness had long been maximized.

As time passed, reinforcements of Orlan’s troops, ammunition, battle armor, and Machinery City continued to arrive at the frontline, and the battle situation became increasingly tense.

...

"Command, the enemy’s legion has reached the underside of the defense line! Positions 101 and 109 are under concentrated attack, requesting reinforcements!"

"Received!"

"Seventh and Ninth Mechanical Battalions prepare to reinforce for clearing the defense line, under no circumstances can they be allowed to cause large-scale destruction of the fortifications..."

"Understood!"

"Command, urgent intel! It’s confirmed that the attacking force is the Orlan Second Royal Guard Mechanical Legion, which includes a large number of Hunting God Armors and Top-level Card Masters, requesting support..."

"General Dong, please lead the New World’s First Mechanical Legion to support Position 109!"

"Got it!"

"..."

Inside the mountain at the Jilan Defense Line, Sector 710.

Seven Brown was in the Machinery Workshop loading ammunition and performing maintenance on her Titan Battle Armor.

The communicator was playing the command channel’s dialogues aloud.

During this period, Seven Brown had practically been living in the Machinery Workshop, constantly busy with combat and mechanical modifications every day.

Leonard Churchill, a non-team member, was unfettered and simply stayed in the workshop with this Miss Rita.

The Orlan Royal Family’s offensive was getting more intense, and the Elite Legion had already joined the battle. Both sides had engaged in close combat beneath the defense line multiple times.

The news on the command channel was never good.

Leonard Churchill was researching the "Seven Original Sins" Secret Skill he had just obtained while listening to those battle reports in his ears.

The information converged in his mind, unconsciously organizing and deducing it into vivid scenes of battle.

Upon hearing the orders over the communicator, Seven Brown quickly donned her heavy protective suit, stepped into the cockpit of the Titan Battle Armor, and called out to Leonard Churchill, "I’m heading out."

"Mm, be careful."

Leonard Churchill nodded.

This was the third time in the past two days that Seven Brown had gone into battle.

The enemy’s Elite Legion required elite forces to handle, and the Alliance did not have the advantage in numbers, so Miss Rita, the top mechanical warrior of the Alliance, often needed to extinguish fires.

She also needed real combat to test the various equipment and practicality of her mecha.

The intensity of these small-scale skirmishes was just right.

It must be said, in such large-scale and enduring wars, mechanical legions had a significant advantage over flesh-and-blood human bodies.

As long as there were enough ammunition and energy, mechanics could fight for long periods at high frequency without feeling fatigue.

Seven Brown’s Titan Battle Armor was particularly evident; low-rank card masters could hardly penetrate the defenses, only card masters above the seventh rank could cause any significant damage to the coating at the law level.

However, the [Power Stone Golden Sphere] used in her battle armor provided nearly infinite energy, making her like a mechanical War God on the battlefield, invincible.

In just a few short days, she had already slain no fewer than ten enemy Hunting God Armors and hundreds of standard battle armors.

For card masters, maintaining combat power for extended periods at such intensity was nearly impossible.

Given the level of ferocity in the few battles Seven Brown had participated in, replacing her with an Eighth Order Card Master would have meant death countless times over.

After all, the battlefield was right below the defense line; top experts from the Alliance could always support immediately. The strain was real, but the danger wasn’t considered severe.

Leonard Churchill wasn’t worried about any problems arising.

Seven Brown, piloting the Titan Battle Armor, left the workshop, with the imager on the table displaying her first-person view in real-time.

Leonard Churchill continued to meditate and train at his position, occasionally glancing at the battle situation ahead, and they could exchange a few words when they had time.

A few minutes later, the imager’s perspective was already appearing on the battlefield.

As always, Seven Brown was imposing, piloting the Titan Battle Armor like a hot knife through butter, cleaning up those enemy mechanical warriors climbing the rock wall, trying to sabotage the cannons.

Originally, this was nothing more than a typical defensive battle.

It seemed that this time, apart from leaving some corpses behind, the enemy would not significantly impact the Jilan Defense Line.

Yet, looking at the footage, thinking of something unknown, Leonard Churchill suddenly stood up and muttered to himself, "Forget it, might as well go take a look."

Some things cannot be accurately analyzed purely from images.

One needs to actually be there on the battlefield to sense certain mysterious presences, allowing for a more precise assessment of the situation.

Moreover, in his current realm, every thought wasn’t just a whim; it was a feedback of some kind of crisis perception.

Leonard Churchill never harbored false hopes.

As soon as the thought arose, he stepped forward into the Space Rift, and the next moment, he appeared at the frontline of the battlefield.

....

The previous conversation with Noah Wright, the Pursuer of Light, had been endlessly deduced by Leonard Churchill in these past few days.

If it were merely the current state of the Orlan Royal Court, although the Alliance was fighting a difficult battle, one could not easily predict the outcome.
