The Mech Touch novel Chapter 7510

Chapter 7510: Coordinated Deathborn

Though Ves did not fault Andrea Vos and the other formation masters for producing a flawed work, nobody could ignore the consequences of this outcome.

Less than an hour passed in relative peace and safety before the first major incident occurred.

One of Formation Master Andrea Vos’ fears had come true.

The deathborn no longer mindlessly assailed the protective bubble from all sides at a constant rate.

Instead, they showed increasing signs of organization. While most of them still kept up the pressure from all sides, the controller in the shadows had secretly grouped up tens of millions of them before launching them all like a giant ballista!

Alarms rang throughout all of the ships as the invisible boundary bulged inward!

The deathborn had launched such a strong push that the ships positioned closest to the anomalous changes suddenly became engulfed by the tide of darkness!

They had unexpectedly lost the protection of the defensive spell array!

This was not all.

The sudden assault did more than deform the protective barrier. It also exposed everyone else to a wave of negative emotions.

Abrupt feelings of hatred, envy, fear and so on briefly surged within the minds of most humans.

Only the strongest and most disciplined among them successfully shrugged off this unnatural influence.

The rest remained paralyzed for a moment!

Dozen or so seconds passed before the invisible wave of negativity receded somewhat, but not entirely.

"The deathborn has created a significant flaw in our defensive spell array!" A formation master hastily reported. "It is impossible to restore the barrier from our end unless our enemies have halted their offensive!"

"We need to push the deathborn back as soon as possible! Do not let them expand their initial gains!"

The human soldiers never fully let down their guard since they entered the Hypeh-Tekas System.

Though they enjoyed a bit more rest ever since the defensive spell array became active, they still maintained a necessary amount of caution.

That happened to serve them well as plenty of mechs on standby had been able to deploy within minutes since the start of the latest incident.

The warships also began to take action. Many spacers that had previously remained on standby quickly manned their stations and began to perform the necessary steps to open fire.

Large caliber cannons soon began to launch careful volleys of energy beams and projectiles at the ’breach’.

However, the sensor systems reported few discernable results!

All of the attacks sank right into the dark miasma before disappearing entirely.

Aside from temporarily dispersing a few crowds of deathborn, the warship-grade attacks failed to inflict any meaningful harm!

"Cease fire! Some of our ships are trapped inside this dark cloud! Our intangible foes don’t care about our firepower, but the same cannot be said for our own side! Wait for the Saint Commander’s instructions!"

The opposing side happened to time their surprise attack well. The Saint Commander had gone off duty and begun to enjoy her rest.

Though she had opted to stay inside the cockpit of the Minerva Mark II to guard against situations like these, she still needed a bit of time to wake up and bring her ace mech fully online.

Before she could deploy her Command Field, everyone else needed to pick up the slack and hold back the enemy incursion as much as possible!

The problem was that they lacked the means to repel the deathborn by themselves!

The warships proved to be ineffective.

The mechs performed barely better.

The Dracoloids and the Omega Threshers sent out by the Premier Fleet attempted to beat back the dark miasma and slay the deathborn with their diverse arsenal of weapons.

While they managed to kill scores of deathborn with every shot, the enemy numbers were so great that a few hundred mechs could never exterminate so many enemies in a short amount of time!

Besides, even if the mechs managed to clear away the deathborn, they could do little against the dark miasma!

Only one mech model possessed this particular ability.

When the nearest squad prototype Woodsap mechs finally flew close to the ongoing breach, their strong vitality and abundant reserve of wood energy immediately created a stark contrast.

The ominous atmosphere suddenly graced the arrival of a beacon of hope.

Even though the Woodsap mechs could no longer draw from Gaia’s strength, a semblance of her touch and power still lingered through their organic frames.
