Chapter 869 673: Mechs and the General (Part 2)
"This general will personally take action!"
Lu Xuanji said, heading to the warehouse.
Inside the warehouse, a massive mech stood towering. The mech was four meters high, a moderate height. Bodies that are too large easily become targets for artillery attacks; bodies that are too small cannot carry various machinery and weapons. The mech was a dark grey color, and its color could change at any time based on the environment.
On the mech, there was a three-meter-long treasure sword and a small grenade launcher equipped with thirty-two grenades.
Lu Xuanji stepped forward, entering the mech. His body perfectly merged with the mech, operating every part of it as if maneuvering his own body.
At the same moment, twelve mech soldiers also entered their mechs.
"Move out!"
Lu Xuanji ordered, and the mech squad began to move out.
Boom boom boom!
On the battlefield, cannons were bombarding, planes were shooting, tanks were firing, and infantry were advancing.
The armies of both sides were entangled on a frontline stretching hundreds of miles, each side deeply infiltrated by the other.
Lu Xuanji piloted the mech, flying at low altitude, rapidly advancing ten meters above the ground, skillfully evading the attacks of various frontline units and artillery, swiftly infiltrating to launch attacks on a few select locations such as the dungeon's command center and armory.
The manufacture of mechs is expensive, and cultivating mech pilots is challenging, which inherently makes mech pilots a costly military unit with enormous expenses.
The strategic aim of mech design focuses on precise strikes, accurately targeting enemy command centers, armories, or other strategically significant locations.
As for ordinary enemy forces, they are naturally swept away by artillery, tanks, and planes.
Boom boom boom!
Cannons thundered, interweaving into a network of firepower in the void, shooting madly.
However, the flying height of the mechs was too low, just perfect for exploiting the blind spots and vulnerabilities in the firepower network. Controlling the mech, Lu Xuanji swiftly maneuvered to dodge shell attacks. Occasionally hit by shells, the energy shield would deflect and bounce them away.
The mech advanced and reached the enemy command center in less than twenty minutes.
Maneuvering the mech, the grenade launcher on the mech tilted downward, raining down like a storm, causing violent explosions on the ground.
The command center instantly transformed into a sea of fire, turned into a massive ruin.
Buzz buzz!
At this moment, a blue mech appeared in the void, with lasers surging from it, shooting splendid light beams.
Lu Xuanji maneuvered the mech, swiftly side-stepping to avoid the laser shots in a hair's breadth distance. The mech approached closely. The three-meter-long treasure sword was drawn out, transforming into a silvery light chopping down, like lightning streaking across the void.
The blue mech also drew its sword, counterattacking.
Clang clang!
The swords clashed, emitting intense sounds. The two mechs rapidly moved, constantly changing positions.
Power and speed fused perfectly, showcasing a violent aesthetic.
Screech!
As the sword light flashed and the longsword slashed across the mech, the blue mech was directly cut open, starting to fail, and the mech pilot inside headed towards death.
Chirp chirp!
In the ear-piercing noise, seven or eight more mechs appeared, surrounding and attacking. Swords flashed, cooperating skillfully, seemingly from the same team.
Meanwhile, additional mechs appeared behind Lu Xuanji.
Both sides engaged in a brutal melee.
Swords clashed, the screeching sound, fierce collisions.
A quarter of an hour later, the battle ended.
On the ground, there were a few shattered mechs and several collapsed buildings.
Boom boom boom!
In the void, hundreds of fighter jets locked onto the area, conducting dense assaults. Various energy cannons swept in, forming a dense firepower net.
"Retreat!"
Lu Xuanji commanded, and the mech squad began to retreat, proceeding to clear another designated target.
The mech squad, like heavy cavalry, moved rapidly on the battlefield, striking precisely, severing some communication points, tearing through enemy formations, destroying important nodes.
Three days later, the battle ended.
Reclining on the sofa, Lu Xuanji drank red wine, watching male and female stars on television, a blush crossing his face, enjoying the leisure and pleasure after the war.
"Ten years!"
Lu Xuanji sighed, seemingly reminiscing.
Ten years ago, he joined the Federal Army, became a part of the army, then paved the way with Spirit Stones. With outstanding ability and connections, his position quickly advanced, his military rank constantly promoted. Especially during the fierce battle between the Rose Federation and the Intor Empire, his promotion became faster. By now, he had attained the rank of a major general in the army.
In the military, he was considered a rising star.
In the military ground, he encountered various types of mechs, some focusing on speed, some on strength, some on stealth, and others on explosive power. He consistently delved into diverse books and accessed advanced technologies, all downloaded to his phone.
"Mechs, a man's romance, after ten years of relaxation and entertainment, it's time to leave here!"
Lu Xuanji thought of this and submitted a retirement application.
The reason for retirement was hitting a bottleneck, requiring some time.
Quickly, the retirement application was approved.
The upper limit of the Grotto World is ninety levels.
At this moment, Lu Xuanji's Body Tempering Technique reached the ninetieth level, and the Divine Tempering Technique reached the ninety-second level, unsealing himself.
Buzz buzz!
Lu Xuanji activated his cultivation technique, a power surpassing the limit of the Grotto Heaven burst forth, causing a sense of rejection from the Grotto Heaven.
Teleported by the Grotto Heaven, he left that Grotto Heaven.
This Grotto Heaven was an endless desert, seemingly already in decline, with scarce Spiritual Qi and no living beings, its laws were withered, seemingly heading toward destruction and demise.
Perceiving the void, waves of despair emanated from this Grotto Heaven, along with endless resentment, loathing everything, hating heaven, hating earth, hating all beings.
Walking through this Grotto Heaven, Lu Xuanji found its vastness, with sparse vegetation, some broken relics, some damaged arrays, and some remaining tombs.
Once, this Grotto Heaven was incredibly prosperous, teeming with living beings and cultivators. But in its late stage, the Spiritual Qi of the Grotto Heaven depleted, resources exhausted, rendered unsuitable for cultivator survival. Most cultivators left this Grotto Heaven for the Purple Mansion World, leaving only the broken relics to denote its former glory.
Indicating, this was once a Grotto Heaven opened up by an Immortal.
After a year of wandering, Lu Xuanji sighed lightly and left this place.
He then went to another Grotto Heaven, one after another, walking through different Grotto Worlds, becoming familiar with different civilizations, different races, and experiencing the flavors of different worlds.
Many Grotto Heavens carried some bold speculations and experiments of the Immortals.
But most failed, though the remaining relics still hold significant lessons.
