Edge of the Apocalypse
Chapter 734: Unmanned. Mecha

When the last giant fell, the camp manager was not happy at all. Of the dozens of officers that followed him, only three were standing beside him, while the rest fell on the way or died tragically under the giant's fist. However, at this moment, even though the giant had died, the enemy soldiers surrounding them were uncommon. Everywhere he looked, there were Gaztu warriors everywhere. A crazy, bloodthirsty light shot out from their eyes. The camp manager could already predict his own outcome.

"We can't go back, but I don't regret it. What about you guys?" The supervisor roared.

The remaining three officers roared, "No regrets!"

"Alright, at least we've gained a glimmer of hope for the camp. Now, we can do more. It's my honor to be able to stand side by side with you guys!" The supervisor took a deep breath and roared, "Go all out."

He was the first to crash into the enemy, and the three officers followed closely behind him, causing a huge wave of blood to appear. But very quickly, their figures were covered by the tide of enemy soldiers.

On the turret, Adele saw all this clearly. There was a scalding liquid at the corner of her eyes, but from beginning to end, she didn't cry. This girl exuded the last strong aura she had before. She had already decided to live or die with the camp. Even if she died in battle, she would not leave any traces of dirt on the Morsen family.

This was the pride and dignity of a family's children!

At this moment, the sound of an airship engine rang out in the sky. Adele looked up and saw medium-sized transport ships flying towards the camp, and in front of them several small ships had already dived down. The guns and high-energy cannons on board the airship opened fire, causing the firepower to wildly pour out without reservation. After a round of berserk explosions, the enemy tide on the hill left a blank space.

On the airship, Adele saw the sign of death spreading, and the reinforcements of the Federal Army finally arrived. Seeing that there were reinforcements, all the defenders in the camp became spirited and cheered loudly. At the same time, they began to fight even harder.

After a round of bombardment by the small airship, several transport airships also arrived in the sky above the battlefield. The bottom cabin of the flying ship slowly opened. As the hull swept across the battlefield, black shadows fell from the transport ship and landed everywhere in the battlefield. Adele looked at one of the shadows and saw that it had knocked over more than a dozen enemy soldiers and was surrounded by them. It looked like a four to five meter tall iron can, and it didn't know what to do with it.

The encircling Catus continuously used their sabers and axes to strike, but apart from leaving holes in the metal sheets, they didn't see anything unusual. There were even Catus carrying machine guns that bombarded the cans, leaving only bullet holes. It seemed that the cans' outer armor was very strong.

At this time, the small ships and transport ships actually started to turn back and leave the battlefield.

While both the enemy and I were confused, one of the iron cans on the battlefield shook and the armoured shell spread out in all directions. Misty steam rose up from the cans. Two spots of yellow light lit up from the boiling steam, and a shuttle of bullets flew out from the steam. The bullet streams swept across, and countless Gatu soldiers were torn apart. Only then did the Gatu soldiers know how to disperse.

Heavy footsteps sounded and a human-shaped machine strode out of the steam. Two electronic eyes flickered on the metal skull, and every second, a huge amount of data was recognized, classified, and screened by the metal skull. With the powerful processing power of the central chip, the war machine had quickly set the priority of its target. There were bright yellow lines on the dark body. The energy reactors on his chest emitted a hazy glow. A row of exhaust ports on his back were constantly spitting out visible air balls. Hundreds of gear wheels on his body were flying in order to allow the war machine to perform movements as nimble as a human body.

He carried a rapid-fire cannon on both hands, and the chain of ammunition in the cannon extended all the way to the ammunition box on his back. As the cannons exploded, a powerful stream of bullets swept through the enemy like a flaming whip, exploding wildly. The armor on the Catu warriors simply couldn't withstand the powerful physical bullets of the cannon, and they would explode at their waist. Twenty of these war machines were thrown into the battlefield in front of the camp, and the Catus' positions were immediately thrown into chaos.

"Unmanned war mecha?" Adele murmured, "So it's ready for real combat, this kind of machine."

The unmanned war mecha program was proposed 40 years ago to better protect federal soldiers and meet the need for the army to conduct high-risk operations. However, at that time, the development of magical weapons was already quite mature, and no one, no matter how much money they needed to develop the mecha, or how effective the mecha was, was questioned by the Federal Parliament.

The technology used by the mecha is purely mechanical, which is incompatible with the popular Magic Cube energy technology. Although there are also suggestions of combining mechanical means with Magic Cube energy technology, the obstacles between the two are daunting.

The project was stalled until a decade ago, when the golden lion reintroduced the development to parliament. The project was finally approved by the federal parliament under the legendary activity of Capulo. However, its development process was very secretive, and it could even be said to only exist within the golden lion. Adele had only heard of it before, and this was the first time she had seen an unmanned mecha ready to fight.

The twelve unmanned, mecha, and mecha cannons on the battlefield were raging wildly, and incomparably bright streams of fire were constantly spraying out, clearing out a few blanks in the enemy's surging tide. The Cato soldiers' offensive was immediately suppressed, and under this ferocious firepower, they even had the tendency to retreat. Seeing this, Adele immediately ordered the garrison to attack. When the mecha cleared out a large area, the garrison took advantage of the opportunity to occupy an advantageous position. Everyone did not care about their own Origin Energy, converting all of it into bullets and shooting it back at the enemy soldiers like a storm.

Adele joined the battlefield as well, and when she shot down an enemy officer, she felt her hands and feet go limp, as if they had reached their limits. She had no choice but to stop and act as a commander. Suddenly, a deep aura rose from the battlefield. In Adele's perception, the area covered by the aura became a black hole, covering all perception and information. Adele paled, and could only search with the naked eye. She carried her sniper rifle and moved quickly on the wall. As she approached the direction in which the aura pervaded, Adele saw a figure.

The raised pitch black cloak was burning like dark flames. The pattern of the code on the cloak clearly indicated the other party's identity. The five stars on his shoulder flickered with icy cold light under the sunlight and flames of war. His short gray hair stood upright like a thorn. The body wrapped in his clothes was slowly releasing boundless and powerful Origin Energy, and the dim dark flames of light were melting away like ink. The scattered Origin Energy flames from his body were so dense that they seemed to be solid, dyeing everything within a radius of a hundred meters into ink.

In this ink color, his gray head was exceptionally dazzling. Seemingly sensing Adele's gaze, he turned his head and saw an old face in a blindfold.

Russen Downan!

Adele opened her little mouth and cried out softly. She didn't expect that Russen would actually kiss her, in this Federation. Beside the general, an unmanned mecha was pressing down on the enemy. Looks like Russen landed with the mecha, unmanned. The moment the mecha landed on the ground, it stole the limelight. It wasn't until this moment that Russen released his Origin Energy aura that it attracted the attention of the crowd.

Needless to say, Russen raised his arm and waved his hand as if he was going to slap away the annoying bug. Instantly, the black flames around him surged, and tens of thousands of black rays of light shot out from within, swirling about like a black fountain towards the mecha in front of him. When the spring water arrived beside the mech, it was silently divided into two sides, and then it scattered into millions of fine threads that pierced into the forehead of an enemy soldier with incomparable accuracy.

The silk thread pushed forward a hundred meters, causing hundreds of enemy soldiers to stiffen and remain motionless. Russen sneered. He retracted his five fingers and the threads broke. A large number of Catu warriors instantly fell. Hundreds of lives were taken instantly, and the blank space that was exposed in that instant was so shocking. Unmanned. The mecha suddenly lost its target, and the central A. I. Chip took an entire second to replan its target. Thus, the mecha took large strides and charged in another direction.

A desolate and forceful roar suddenly sounded from the battlefield.

Adele saw that the enemy commander, who had been wounded by her, was charging towards Lu Sen with large strides. He apparently discovered that his soldiers were being harvested in pieces and charged with guns in anger. The mecha in front of him raised its cannon, and hundreds of powerful bullets instantly flew through the air. The commander swept his spear around and created an invisible force field that deflected the elastohydrodynamic trajectory, forcefully pulling countless bullets away from his side.

In the blink of an eye, the man and the mecha brushed past each other. The mecha suddenly trembled endlessly. Several parts of its armor exploded, and sparks of electrical circuits splashed everywhere inside. The mecha spun out of control twice and the rapid-fire mecha shot through the air. Following the extinguishment of the two lightning eyes on its head, the mecha stopped as if it was dead.

At this time, there was no obstacle between the commander and Russen.

Behind Cato was a distortion, and the flames of Origin Energy that penetrated his body formed a projection. It was an ox-headed human monster with spiked armor hanging from head to toe. Two long, curved fangs appeared between its lips, revealing its viciousness. At the end of the day, the bullhead projection had already smashed into Russen, and the two curved teeth were pushed away like shovels. Just as he was about to hit Russen, a few chains suddenly appeared out of thin air, tightly binding the monster's curved teeth.

A figure rose from the black mist in front of Russen. It was a skeleton wrapped in a cloak. Two balls of yellow flames lit up in its pitch-black, hollow eyes. The cloak on its body spread out like a flame, and a piece of hand bone stretched out from it. In its completely ossified palm was a thick code of law. The code opened, and a small figure floated above.

Looking closely, it was the appearance of an enemy commander!
