CHAPTER 1501: CHAPTER 23: THE BURNING SEN METROPOLIS

"Welcome to the wasteland where good and evil intertwine"

"The smoke of war permeates before your eyes"

"Pick up weapons without regret"

"If you have a dream in your heart, you must defend it"

"Only this one chance to prove yourself"

"Fight against fate and strive forward"

"Burn your life, refuse to be humble"

...

The translucent golden energy Flying Wing extended from the mecha’s back, making it flip like a swift in a storm at full thrust, leaving a breathtaking agile trajectory in the sky’s atmosphere. The pure white mecha shell appeared like a Phantom afterimage at high speed until the glaring Light Saber extending from the mecha’s arm flashed in the air, slicing through multiple gray-iron Shuttlecraft into pieces, only then did the radar image reveal the golden leaf emblem on the mecha’s shell.

The ’Golden Rose A14’ model mecha, inherited from the early Federation, retained its elegance and nimble contour style despite numerous iterations. If the ’Fierce Red Falcon A1’ is a chariot burning crimson, then the ’Golden Rose A14’ model is a noble Knight riding a white horse. The design styles of the two differ, and their strengths vary significantly.

"Fire!"

Even from afar, the leader directing the ’Fierce Red Falcon A1’ mecha squad gave the order directly.

"Yes."

Inside the cockpit, the pilot in crimson Battle Armor was immersed in high-temperature orange liquid, their eyes covered by ochre-red goggles. As their pupils contracted and focused, they locked onto the small targets in view, and then patches of armor on the mecha’s surface opened up, releasing a swarm of orange-red missiles that soared with trails of white air in the sky like countless serpentine heads.

The ’Strontium Red XC’ aerial combat missiles, advanced products of the military giant ’Demon Dragon’s Eye,’ had extremely sturdy warheads with an isolation Enchantment effect, capable of easily penetrating many mecha and Cruiser Defense shields and Force Fields. Inside the warheads was a special Decomposition Powder that greatly undermined metal alloy structures, rendering them brittle in an instant, leading to disintegration under internal and external stress.

In the sky, hundreds of ’Fierce Red Falcon A1’ mechas synchronized their fire, filling the radar’s projected display with released missiles. Thousands of glowing points accelerated along their various trajectories, charging like arrays of rain towards the soaring pure white mechas, blocking any possible evasive spaces.

Golden and dark red laser beams flashed intermittently in the sky as mechas from both sides began shooting at extreme distances. However, with both sides moving at high speed, such attacks couldn’t achieve significant results. Even if they hit the target, it would last just a second before the opponent could use flight trajectory changes to evade; a brief hit couldn’t burn through each other’s mecha.

Soon, after several rounds of shooting, the missiles with fiery tails gradually approached the white ’Golden Rose A14’ mechas. After accelerating over this distance, the missile speeds reached their limit, marking the peak of their threat and destructive power.

Facing missiles turned into dark red meteors, the high-altitude ’Golden Rose A14’ mechas once again showcased their outstanding Transfer Ability. They manipulated the missile trajectories with unimaginable agility, then abruptly reversed direction, threading through the gaps of the torn missile array to the rear. The sides of the mecha’s chest lit up with six small holes, firing tiny golden beams that struck and detonated the passing warheads, turning them into fireworks in the sky.

After destroying the missiles, without pausing, they continued closing in on the front line of enemies. By now, the ’Fierce Red Falcon’ mecha formation began changing direction, ascending skyward and boosting the Forging Core energy to its propulsion systems, making their linear acceleration comparable to the nimble ’Golden Rose’ mechas.

With this, one side transferred while the other pursued, as the golden and red streams crossed high in the sky, gradually moving toward the outer atmospheric boundary.

As the air thinned and the environment transitioned to a vacuum, the deep red mechas turned again. By then, the mecha shells were already charred crimson, as the chest armor retracted, revealing the fiery red cannon muzzles within.

These glowing orange cannons aimed at the planet below, targeting key points before firing directly.

The surging torrents of heat gushed forth, with orange beams surrounded by blazing Circles penetrating through, finally colliding with the ground. Then, streams of fire spread, lighting up like hundreds of glowing spots on the surface, spreading outward, submerging numerous constructions, and countless verdant flowers and plants turned to blackened dust in the fiery sea.

Their objective was not to defeat the elite mecha guards defending the Central Star Domain but to strike at the Elf Faction forces within the planet, and the targets had long been predetermined.

The reason for not firing from high altitude initially was to test and divert potential Defense forces and to execute the attacks under the guise of battle, thus attributing any post-attack damage to ’collateral damage’ in intense combat, cleansing themselves of guilt.

Although the Federation was already fraught with chaos, it had not yet completely collapsed. Even those initiating an intense coup required keeping up appearances to avoid becoming universally ostracized.

Watching these deep red mechas execute such brutal acts before them, the pilots within the ’Golden Rose’ mechas felt their eyes widen with fury, a searing rage surging to the brink of explosion within their hearts.
