The Mech Touch novel Chapter 7265

The Sudfar strain of Goliaths already proved hard to kill and even harder to pin down.However, it was probably a much better corruption target than the Ekstrom Goliaths.

The Sudfar Goliaths were small and possessed much more limited options for thatreason.

its mouth was smaller and its assimilation capabilities were not as overbearing.

The Sudfar Goliath's transphasic claws had to be guarded against, and their ability tospray acid from their mouths posed a considerable threat at short range, but that wasthe extent of their offensive power.

Ves could already envision a possible capture and corruption scenario.

He felt fortunate that the Divine Harpoon accompanied him on his trip to the Rubarthanfront.

The man was incredibly accurate at harpoon throwing. Even if the Sudfar Goliaths werefamed for their mobility, so long as one of them became slightly constrained, the DivineHarpoon should be able to sink one of his signature throwing weapons into the body of amegavoribug.

That would be the moment where the Dark Apostle should spring into action.

The harpooned Goliath needed to be given enough leeway to free itself. Otherwise theGoliath Hive would ruthlessly abandon the giant creature and order its body todisintegrate into a puddle of loose matter.

During this crucial interval of time, the Dark Apostle needed to get close and potentiallygrapple with the Sudfar Goliath in order to expose it to the corrupting power of darknessenergy!

The relatively slender body of the Goliath should take this process faster than normal,but the Dark Apostle also had to take care not to get clawed or sprayed with acid.

In order to be safe, Ves needed to complete his superdimensional raiment in order towithstand the creature's frantic counterattacks.

Perhaps it was best to make a move before he completed his superdimensional spear.

It would take precious time for him to create a powerful D-arm for himself. Thesuperdimensional armor alone should suffice if he wanted to capture a target asopposed to killing it directly.

The only other major concern was that he needed to target the right Sudfar Goliath.Level 4, 5 and 6 Sudfar Goliaths tended to be fairly weak. They lacked the astoundingspeed and the superior defenses and recovery power of a Level 7 Goliath.

Ves ideally wanted to capture a Level 7 Goliath because a megavoribug of this strengthdefinitely possessed the strongest connection to the Goliath Princess.

He was not certain whether capturing and corrupting weaker Goliaths would preserveenough signal strength’ for him to determine the location of his mission target.

The problem was that the Goliath Hive had not sent too many Level 7 Sudfar Goliathsthus far.

Ves could not afford to wait too long until the right strain at the appropriate levelappeared in the star system.

According to the records, the defenders of Philaster Crestia lil had yet to encounter aLevel 7 Sudfar Goliath, though it had showed up in several other Rubarthan starsystems.

The Goliath Hive probably intended to test the performance of a Level 7 Sudfar Goliathagainst the defenders of the Philaster Crestia System very soon. This should especiallybe the case now that the Ascended Giants had made an appearance.

He did not have much time.

He needed to complete the design of his stopgap raiment sooner rather than later.

He needed to get to work at the mech workshop as soon as the material shipmentsarrived.

Although Ves was not willing to sacrifice everything just to serve the Evolution Witch, aslong as he had a chance to earn a major favor from her, he would make a seriousattempt to fulfill her demand.

The biggest challenge was keeping everyone else in the dark. Ves could sorely usemore help, but he did not dare to inform anymore, including the Divine Harpoon whosecooperation was crucial.

Ves just hoped that the strategy of the Faceless Giant Phalanx did not let his throwingskills atrophy while they were in transit.

"Look at that Abedo Goliath." Gloriana interrupted his train of thought. "Out of all of theGoliaths, the Abedo is described as the one that resembles erudite phase lords themost."

The Abedo Goliaths differed from most other strains in that they were primarilypositioned as support units.

They sacrificed direct combat capabilities in favor of generating multiple energy fieldsthat suppressed transphasic units, interdicted warp travel, blocked guidance systemsand generated other forms of disruption.

While these support functions significantly hindered the performance of nearby mechsand other assets, the Abedo Goliath left itself open to attacks, especially at close range.It was currently being assailed by a Rubarthan expert mech wielding a large plasmahalberd.

Each time the expert mech struck with its resonance-empowered weapon, the AbedoGoliath's spherical body recoiled and attempted to back away.

The expert mech did not let up on its aggression and continued to strike deeper, tryingto create more burns and inhibit the Level 4 Goliath's regeneration even further.However, as if to compensate for the Abedo strain's lack of direct combat capabilities,the Goliath Hive had beefed up its escort.

Compared to other Level 4 Goliaths, the Abedo Goliath was accompanied by at least 3times more cannon fodder bugs!

All of those insects constantly converged upon the machine, using their very lives towear down the resonance shield.
