Wow! The item-dropping rate is really high!-Chapter 813 - 588 Storm Armor’s First Strike_2

So these modified youngsters and the warriors of Grey Iron City displayed a similar combat style during battle, relying purely on the strength of their physical bodies to counter all types of standard weaponry.

The only difference was that Grey Iron City's fighting style was more reckless and wild, while theirs was more restrained and less desperate.

After all, they didn't carry such heavy expectations. As long as they could secure at least two victories in the individual matches out of five, it was sufficient.

Each of the five individual matches was worth one point, and the team match was worth two points.

As long as they secured two points in the individual matches and guaranteed two points in the team match, they'd be able to keep progressing steadily.

How glamorous their victories were was not a priority for them at the moment.

This also led to the fact that, though their characteristics were similar to those of Grey Iron City, they did not receive as much attention, despite being in the same region and winning their way up alongside them.

Now, their opponents, who had already deployed mechas, even graciously warned the Blackwater City team captain in the team match, "We've watched all your previous matches. You're strong, but compared to those lunatics from Grey Iron City, you lack their spirit. You're doomed to lose against them in the end. Why not give this opportunity to us? We've already deployed mechas. Advancing to the top four has shown us the possibilities. Let us face those Grey Iron City lunatics with lower costs. Whether we win or lose, your city will gain the friendship of Jialai City."

The Storm Warrior leading the team cautiously glanced at the group of Grey Iron City death soldiers resting in their own corner.

If those guys heard themselves called lunatics, who knows if they'd really lose their minds.

They just fought a little crazier; it didn't mean they were truly insane.

"We can't do that..." The Storm Warrior displayed a bitter smile at the corner of his lips and gently declined the offer. "We have to win too."

"Win what... Win how?" The other party grew a bit impatient. "If you really wanted to win, it wouldn't have been so hard-fought for you all the way to here."

They had analyzed the strengths and styles of all the city participants in this region. The so-called warriors of Blackwater City obviously were not much different from Grey Iron City's warriors in terms of raw strength, but when it came to actual combat, they appeared weak, and they frequently squandered matches they could have won with a gamble.

As a result, their progress to now had relied almost solely on sealing their wins in the team matches, never once displaying the terrifying dominance of those lunatics from Grey Iron City.

With this level of fighting spirit, even if they made it to the finals, how could they possibly overcome those lunatics from Grey Iron City?

And if those lunatics were to dominate this region, who knows if people's future lives would end up as wild as their combat style?

After all, they carried the future of all cities in the region on their shoulders!

"Sorry..." The Storm Warrior captain looked back at his teammate, who had already donned the Storm Battle Armor and stepped onto the stage. At the same time, his teammate's voice came through the comms, asking, "Will one be enough?" freewebnøvel.com

"One should suffice." The captain softly decided, "If not, Jiang can send one up as backup. But unless the situation becomes dangerous, don't engage. Let Old Fourth face them alone and test how far their mechas have developed."

"Understood!"

Seeing that city, which had garnered so much attention since the start of the tournament, finally unveil a never-before-seen special armament during the last team match of the semifinals, many other cities who had been watching closely felt a sense of surprise.

"Isn't that the city that War God specifically acknowledged before? What is this they've just unleashed?"

"Never seen it before. It must be their trump card?"

"A trump card like that wouldn't be carelessly revealed, right? They've been holding onto it until now. Looks like this opponent has really put pressure on them."

Some cast scornful glances at the towering mecha, saying disdainfully, "That thing? And it's being treated as a big deal? This city's level isn't impressive. I don't understand why War God would personally recognize them."

War God's special notice of this city had left nearly every other city with a lingering resentment.

From their current observations, however, they still couldn't pinpoint anything extraordinary about this city.

"Could it be all because of this hidden ace of theirs?"

Someone speculated in secret.

The answer soon revealed itself.

The deep blue humanoid mech, though twice the size of a normal person, still appeared like an ant facing a giant compared to the several-meter-tall mechas.

When the giant locked onto Blackwater City's squad and unleashed a barrage of missiles, most spectators instinctively closed their eyes, unwilling to witness the scene of flesh being torn apart, or the searing brilliance of explosions.

Whether tanks or armed helicopters, none of the weaponry or combat capabilities they carried could match the versatility and precision of mechas.

Under such a missile barrage, few believed flesh and blood could survive.

Finally, as anticipated by all, the dozens of missiles trailing white vapor trails exploded thunderously around the target zone.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The explosive impacts rang out immediately for all to hear. However, the sound was unexpectedly muted, not deafening as anticipated, almost as if they were dud explosions...

The expected ground-shaking vibrations also failed to materialize, prompting many distant spectators to reopen their eyes and look towards the source of the blasts.

A circular shield embedded on the deep blue mech had blocked the entirety of the missile barrage?

Every bit of the explosion's noise had occurred solely around the mech.

Yet, after enduring the full assault, the mech's surface didn't even bear the slightest scorch mark.

"Swoosh!"

A blurred shadow flashed by, and in an instant, the deep blue mech vanished from its previous position. When it next reappeared in view, it was already at the base of the giant mecha's legs.

Only then, as its figure became clear, did a previously unnoticed crack on the giant mecha's lower leg emerge for all to see.

The feel of the smooth crack sliding downward caused the giant mecha's right leg to collapse, its cockpit's two pilots panicking completely amidst the blaring alarms.

The materials used to construct the mecha represented the highest-grade alloys the city could mass-produce, yet even so, they had been sliced apart by a single slash.

What kind of mythical weaponry were their adversaries using?!

It was no wonder they had held this trump card back until the last moment!

At the sight of the deep blue mech's overwhelming destructive power, almost every onlooker took a sharp breath of astonishment.

"This is impossible!"

"Untraceable speed to the naked eye, defenses capable of nullifying missile barrages head-on, and an indomitable blade! How can all these traits exist in a single weapon? How could anyone possibly defeat them?"

"And it's not even just one! Look there—they have another identical mech lying in wait. With two such formidable war machines, no wonder even War God was amazed at this city's technological foundation."

Even the cities that once considered mechas a trivial threat couldn't help but gape in shock.

Mechas themselves weren't difficult to confront; what was challenging was doing so as Blackwater City had—by directly and violently dismantling them head-on.

"If we go up against them... what should we do?"

"What are you afraid of?" someone sneered. "If they really could use these things recklessly, do you think they'd have waited until now?"

"There must be massive downsides, whether to the mech or the pilot. Either way, this can't be something they can employ on a regular basis!"
