The Undying Mecha Emperor

Chapter 122 Big Fat Juicy Calf



The hundred mechas assigned to deal with me were all experts.

And smart.

They had refrained from killing Tes, Olivia and the little boy, forcing me to carry them with me everywhere and impeding my movements.

With them in tow, my effectiveness was halved, and I was barely able to defend myself, much less deal damage to the enemy!

They all danced around me like so many irritating but highly trained flies, peppering me with waves of rifle fire while keeping completely out of my reach with their superior speed and mobility.

I charged at the hundred light mechas around me like a fat little lion cub chasing after butterflies. Although I managed to take out a few in the next few minutes, I was, in effect, rendered completely useless to impact the rest of the battle.

My great strength had been effectively taken out of the picture at the very reasonable cost of merely a hundred mechas.

The ambush was perfectly executed!

"Third law of ambushes. Those not under fire, counter attack and rescue friendly units with largest firepower." Bruce Pang continued to teach us.

I had no idea if anybody paid attention to him at that moment, but I would later find out that quite a few did, and they made all the difference for many of us.

The pandemonium continued at full strength.

The Lin-Wang coalition was performing admirably. When the ambush hit them, they were in the process of rescuing the disabled mechas and thus, they had a lot of "shields" available to be used.

It was ruthless, of course. But such is war.

However, that said, although the huge amount of shields afforded them an effective defense, battles are not won by defending.

Sherry Lin, Elise Wang and Eliana Wang grouped up and blitzed the enemy from their right flank, the flank that was facing the Longs.

I believe that moment was the first time the "Three Unicorns" took action together.

Sherry Lin was her usual incredibly deadly self. She weaved in and out of the tens of rifle fire aimed her way with great agility.

As a medium mecha and coupled with her godlike skills, she was able to quickly reach her enemies and begin her furious counterattack with her twin swords.

Behind her were the two horribly competent Wang twins in their heavy mechas, with huge tower shields protecting their flanks as they charged after Sherry Lin who drew most of the fire from the front.

BAM! BAM!

SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!

Within seconds, they completely disrupted the enemy formation!

The mechas facing them had to retreat, while the others had to divert fire from the Lin-Wang main group to try and take them down.

That way, and with suppressive fire from the Lin-Wang main group, the trio managed to clear out a path towards the Longs.

"Victor. Join up." Sheera Lin called out from within the center of the Lin-Wang coalition.

Victor Long was no fool.

Arrogant, yes, but a smart one.

His group of twenty had dwindled to merely twelve. Although he had stabilized the situation by using the eight "dead" mechas as shields, it would only be a matter of time before his entire group got wiped out.

He immediately understood that his best chance to survive was if he joined up with them. At the same time, he also knew that being the weaker party, the standard enemy response would be to team up and immediately try and destroy him before their link up was successful.

Still, what choice did he have? In true blue Long fashion, he coolly gave the order to link up.

"All of you, proceed towards the Lins and Wangs. Maintain defensive formation!" He commanded.

His group began to make their way towards the Lin-Wang coalition who were also slowly inching towards them.

As Victor Long had guessed, and very definitely according to Sheera Lin's plan, the ambushers reacted.

They instantly noticed the movement, and all two hundred of the ambushers aiming at the Lin-Wang coalition suddenly changed targets and focused their fire on the weaker Long group!!

Three hundred against twelve, it would be a miracle if they could last for more than a minute.

And there were no miracles that day.

All of the Longs, apart from Victor Long and Hailey Long who survived due to their top tier skills, were wiped out within one minute.

But that minute was extremely expensive for the ambushers.

Left almost completely alone, the Lin-Wang coalition was free to counter attack, and they did so in a fashion that would embarrass the wildest and most ferocious bull alive.

Under the lead of the Three Unicorns, they smashed into the three hundred ambushers with unparalleled ferocity!!

They discarded their "shields" and drew out their swords, hammers and spears.

WHAM! BAM! SLASH!

The ambushers were highly disciplined fighters, and they stayed true to their battle objective. None of them wavered from their withering fire on the Longs, and only those under immediate attack by the Lin-Wang coalition moved to defend themselves.

But they were light mechas against mediums and heavies. They had no chance.

So great was the desperation of the coalition that they managed to destroy a hundred of the ambushers within the minute which the Longs had purchased for them!

It was a disastrous exchange for the ambushers who lost a hundred mechas in exchange for merely ten Long mechas.

I am sure those three hundred pilots lost quite a bit of points that day.

Anyway, after taking out the Longs, the remaining ambushers tried to retreat and regroup before engaging with the Lin-Wang coalition once more.

But Sheera Lin was like a Python who had managed to catch its prey, a big fat juicy calf, with its body.

There was no way she would let them go.

Instead, she started to squeeze.

"Five of you, hammer them towards us." She called out.

There was no need to specify who the five were.

Like the massive head of a python, they struck at the big, fat, juicy calf hungrily.
