Chapter 169: Fighting Is Part of Mecha Warfare, Don’t Play if You Don’t Like It

"These pilots from the Ministry of Internal Affairs are not very good. Their reactions are still quite rigid."

Looking at the positions of the remaining four dragon knights on the full-circle display and the current positions determined by Lilith through trajectory prediction, Amber couldn't help shaking her head.

At the same time, she slightly adjusted the energy distribution of the body and deployed the heavy particle cannon behind her.

"What do you mean?"

Hearing his words, and looking at the cannons being deployed above her head, Isabel asked curiously.

"Searching forward in an inverted V formation, and immediately changing to a compact diamond formation to cover each other's backs after being attacked, this is exactly the same as what is in the textbook of the Army Academy."

Of course, Amber complained, but he hoped that the next battle would be such pilots who followed the combat regulations and followed the rules.

Such pilots can even allow Amber to predict their next move in battle.

In fact, according to the level of the Empire and Federation pilots in the game.

At least before the war, most of the pilots on both sides were such more disciplined pilots.

Always fight at the specified engagement distance, always arrange the body energy management according to the specified ratio.

At the same time, they are extremely superstitious about long-range attacks, like to overwhelm opponents with heavy firepower, and extremely reject close combat.

This phenomenon will not change until the Star Dragon Empire splits and the universe becomes a mess.

And now, Amber doesn't mind giving these pilots from the Imperial Ministry of Internal Affairs a simple lesson.

When the four dragon knights were arranged in a compact diamond formation, covering each other's backs, the combat assistance AI in their cockpits issued a warning again.

"Warning! Strong electric field reaction detected, judged to be heavy particle cannon shooting! It is recommended to turn on the deflection field."

The next moment, a blue-white beam of light broke through the smoke and hit one of the dragon knights.

After the long-range attack and sneak attack just now, these pilots dared not be careless, and each of them turned on the deflection field.

But after the heavy particle cannon shot, the temporary commander of the team still found the problem.

According to the data sent by the team members, the deflection field generator of the dragon knight facing the shooting was almost overloaded.

The deflection field generators equipped by these cutting-edge HCPs are naturally upgraded new models.

Being hit like this by a single shot can only mean one thing.

That is, the attacker fired at excessive power.

The strong instantaneous energy output brought higher temperature and faster speed to the heavy metal ion jet.

The increase in kinetic energy will naturally increase the burden on the deflection field.

However

"Firing at excessive power, does this guy not plan to use long-range weapons in the short term? Is he going to use this shot to escape?"

The temporary commander was shocked, but his worries were not unreasonable.

Because the cannons on the weapon rack on the back of the HCP are all big power consumers.

Although the body is equipped with a subcritical reactor, there is generally no need to worry about energy exhaustion.

But the instantaneous high energy consumption is still a bit too much for the subcritical reactor.

For example, a super-spec machine named ‘DESTINY’ in the next studio suffered from this.

In the drama, all the indicators were maxed out, but it ran out of power in the final battle, and was criticized by fans for more than ten years.

It was not until the theatrical version was released that a fully-functioning ‘Destiny Spec II’ was created, and it showed a highlight moment in the theatrical version.

It made many fans believe that part of the development funds allocated by ZAFT must have been hacked.

Let’s get back to the point.

Of course, in theory, using the fusion reactor on the battleship can indeed solve this problem.

Unfortunately, until the game plot line before Amber’s soul traveled through time, such a design remained on paper.

So after obtaining Lilith, Amber has been thinking about finding an opportunity to use Lilith’s power to see if this long-cherished wish of the majority of HCP designers can be realized.

However, at this moment, the judgment of this temporary commander is still a bit too conservative.

Amber did temporarily give up the use of long-range weapons.

However, he was not planning to escape, but to give these pilots of the Imperial Ministry of Internal Affairs a little "close combat shock".

Although the Zealot is an old model HCP compared to the Dragon Knight, the one in Amber's hand is even an early batch such as Block 30.

But the design concept of the Zealot at that time was mainly to take the path of heavy armor and heavy firepower.

Therefore, the subcritical reactor and superconducting battery stack also followed the higher power version, although the cost is larger volume and longer charging time for daily maintenance.

This is why the combat weight of the Zealot once reached hundreds of tons, and the specialized protection model for high-risk areas can even reach 120 tons.

The cutting-edge Dragon Knight did not continue to take the heavy armor route in design thinking, but a comprehensive body with high mobility and good at medium and long-range suppression.

The combat weight is less than 80 tons.

But in the current close-range combat trapped on the ground, the mobility and firepower advantages of the Dragon Knight have been largely eliminated.

Instead, the heavier Zealot has gained an advantage in close combat.

After all, when a 100-ton block of iron collides with a block of less than 80 tons, the result is governed by the laws of physics.

In the blue light bursting from the propulsion array, the tall fanatic rushed out of the smoke again, wielding a heavy plasma sword.

"Machine performance is not an absolute condition for determining victory or defeat!"

With a reaction ability far beyond that of normal humans, Amber was like a wolf entering a flock of sheep. He first pulled a high-overload emergency stop maneuver to avoid all the pointed shooting of electromagnetic rifles.

Then he swung his sword in the air to draw an arc and cut off the gun-holding mechanical arm of the nearest HCP.

Then, it was a simple shield strike.

The temporary commander only heard a burst of "Ahhhhhhhh" screams from these pilots in the squadron communication channel.

If Amber were asked to rate his HCP combat, he would definitely rank melee combat in the T1 position.

He may not be at the top level in anti-ship and anti-HCP combat in space, but ground melee combat is definitely his forte.

In any case, he was also a tough guy who scored 2900 in the HCP fighting arena in the game.

In just a short while, Amber chopped a dragon knight into a human stick.

After piercing the cockpit of another dragon knight, he left directly.

It was not that he intended to let others go, but according to Lilith's surveillance of the battlefield, more HCP were found to be rushing towards this area.

After all, two fists cannot beat four hands, and a hero cannot resist a group fight.

Amber was not a reckless man, so he put away the heavy sword without thinking, and then rushed to a seaside resort city 80 kilometers away from the "family exclusive area".

At present, the pursuit troops of the Imperial Ministry of Internal Affairs have not caught up, and the private soldiers of the Ains family in other areas have just started to move.

So Amber also planned to take advantage of this window period to quickly rush into this coastal city, creating chaos and creating opportunities for the next plan.

Although there may be atmospheric fighters in the sky, facing HCP, a unit with adequate protection and relatively fierce anti-aircraft firepower, it is actually not a big threat.

This was without the charged particle cannon. If they had brought this thing, the air units of the Irons family would be shot down as many as they came.

After confirming that Isabel on the temporary seat could still hold on, Amber controlled the machine to rush out again.

At the same time, she gave Lilith a new order.

"Lilith, prepare to execute the highest agreement."
