The Mech Touch novel Chapter 7560

Chapter 7560: Bastard

Saint Commander Casella Ingvar and many other soldiers tried their best to determine the timing and targeting of the next superdimensional siege cannon attack.

Unfortunately, most friendly units were still too distant from Hypeh-Tekas II. Their high-powered sensor systems would have normally been able to examine the orbital fortresses in detail, but the dense clouds of dark miasma scattered every kind of signal no matter their nature and properties.

In other words, they were still flying in blind!

Only Casella managed to derive an early warning of an impending strike. Her expansive Command Field and her sharp intuition vaguely detected the rising malice from the surrounding deathborn and dark miasma.

Even though their behavior and patterns still appeared completely random to everyone else, the ace commander could still discern a greater movement from a large number of subtle and minute fluctuations.

Her eyes shone brighter inside her cockpit. The Command Field centered around the Minerva Mark II grew hotter and more agitated as she tried her best to anticipate the next attack!

After a few seconds of silence, her attention locked onto the largest and most massive hull in the combined fleet!

"DISE! INTERCEPT!"

Casella had no time to convey any other information, including her most probable guess of the trajectory of the incoming attack.

Nonetheless, this brief forewarning granted just enough time for Saint Dise to spike her true resonance and perform a specialized deflection technique!

It happened in an instant.

A superdimensional projectile cut almost straight across a large expanse of space, ignoring all of the dark miasma in the way, before quickly breaching past the perimeter of Casella’s Command Field!

The domain field in question managed to detect the breach and intrusion a lot better now that Casella became aware of what was possible, but the surprisingly slender and compact projectile flew so fast that she could do nothing to impede its flight!

Psychic storms inflicted virtually zero damage against a solid superdimensional slug.

Projecting Dragon Scales onto the Tortuous Scream was also pointless. It took time to manifest this resonating ability, and the change in defensive strength was incredibly weak when applied to an enormous capital-grade hull.

Pretty much the only thing Casella could do in this incredibly short interval was slow down her subjective perception of time and track the passage of the superdimensional round.

The incredibly dense and hard slug followed a direct trajectory to the center of the Tortuous Scream’s vertical superstructure!

Somehow, the distant alien gunner obtained enough data to not only know where to aim, but also anticipate the Tortuous Scream’s maneuvers through space!

This was incredibly unreasonable and provided further proof that the aliens were able to obtain high-quality observation data from the surrounding dark miasma!

If this superdimensional slug was allowed to pass through space without getting stopped, then the damage it would inflict on the Tortuous Scream would be catastrophic!

The Armitage suffered serious damage from the first blow, but the actual losses were quite manageable.

The giant carrier was designed very similar to fleet carriers. This meant that she possessed a long but narrow hull that contained plenty of open spaces in order to accommodate a large number of combat units.

The Tortuous Scream was in a completely different situation! Much of her internal space was filled with dense and powerful electronics and structural components. A superdimensional slug launched with great momentum could punch through all of that and inflict catastrophic damage to the most important and sensitive interior of the orven battleship!

The massive hull might even crack in half from a single blow!

Yet just before the extremely fast projectile was about to crush directly through the middle of the vulnerable battleship, the First Sword Mark III slashed down with her enormous greatsword at a speed too swift to be seen with the naked eye!

Too fast!

Even if the First Sword Mark III had been winding herself up like a spring, she should never physically be able to make this move!

In fact, the ace swordsman mech had exceeded her physical limitations and swung her weapon so fast that it was frankly impossible according to her nominal parameters.

Thanks to Saint Dise’s reality-distorting willpower, the living mech not only acted faster than she should ever be able to, but also managed to direct her attack just so that the flat of the Decapitator’s blade managed to strike the incoming projectile at an oblique angle!

An extremely powerful vibration shook through space!

"STAY SHARP." Casella warned everyone. "A THIRD STRIKE WILL COME SOON. THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT ONLY ONE OF THE ORBITAL FORTRESSES HAS OPENED FIRE SO FAR. THE OTHER ALIEN FACILITIES MAY BE LACKING THIS CAPABILITY. WE NEED TO CONFIRM THIS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE."

"My wife..."

"Our children..."
