Chapter 245 Atlas Draws His Sword

Rubyon V, these imperial soldiers outside the satellite city of Ptolemy City, the survivors among them may never forget the battle that took place that night in their lifetime.

First, there was a beam of light that descended from the top of their heads like a divine punishment.

This blow that seemed to penetrate the stars directly wiped out a battalion of friendly units.

Then, the HCPs in the coalition forces that launched the attack, like demons returning from hell, rushed directly into their direction under the illumination of a huge plasma fireball and engaged in hand-to-hand combat with their own HCP troops.

These nearly ten-meter-high steel giants kept moving around on the battlefield, and from time to time they launched a dazzling charge amid the screaming sound of sonic booms.

The harsh collision between steel and steel hit the hearts of these imperial soldiers one by one.

But among them, the dark red HCP leading the enemy was more terrifying.

It was the first to break into the defensive position, and directly knocked a fanatic that came up to block it with its shield and sent it flying backwards.

The combat auxiliary AI of this fanatic quickly took over the posture control of the machine and activated the main propulsion array on the back to try to restore the balance of the machine.

But the attack of the dark red HCP did not stop at that step. After completing the shield collision, the propulsion array on its back also burst out a round of strong blue light.

The whole machine rushed up immediately as if it was attached to the target.

The huge plasma heavy sword had been grasped in the right hand at some point, and the edge of the heavy sword after being powered on quickly lit up with plasma blue light.

Just like a "blue crescent" that suddenly appeared in the night, driven by the electromagnetic muscles of the mechanical arm, the heavy sword swung an arc from the lower right to the upper side.

The high-temperature and high-speed plasma that was constrained at the "blade" position by the pointing magnetic field shattered the surface silicon carbide armor plate the moment it came into contact with the slashing part.

Then, the laminated armor whose heat energy release efficiency had reached the upper limit and the third layer of memory metal armor that had no time to repair itself were also roughly torn apart.

Finally, the titanium alloy skeleton of the body structure was built. Under the huge kinetic energy of the heavy sword, it was cut off like the spine of a knife maker testing his knife.

The Imperial HCP pilot who was hit by the close attack only had time to sigh "What a fast cut!", and turned into ashes under the high-temperature plasma sword that passed through the cockpit.

But this is not over yet. Under the mapping of the control operating system, this dark red HCP, like a human, took advantage of the last inertia of the sprint, jumped up and received an extremely standard "Rider Kick".

The main structure of the Imperial HCP was basically damaged. Under this flying kick, the entire upper body flew out and was completely scrapped.

This is the hand-to-hand combat between HCPs. When both sides hold heavy swords with excess slashing power, a precise attack is enough to end the battle.

This is why, whether it is the Federation or the Empire pilots, even if they can kill like a god of death with the heavy sword in the simulated battle.

But when they actually go to the battlefield, they will never draw their swords to fight unless they have no other choice.

Because the tolerance rate for such a battle is too low, it is very likely that they will be "sent away by one sword" by their opponents because of a low-level mistake.

But these pilots of Atlas are different.

Under the influence of Amber, the chief instructor of the HCP unit, the "sword cancer" is very serious, and each of them is in the late stage.

In Atlas, the pilots who can be selected into the HCP unit and successfully assigned to the corresponding unit after completing all the training subjects are not bad at hand-to-hand combat.

Because the last item of the full subject assessment is to drive a training machine and use a training sword that feels the same as a plasma heavy sword to last 5 minutes in a 1V1 duel with Amber.

Although this training subject is becoming increasingly difficult for Amber to find time to participate, the "Training Outline Revision Group" is looking for other subjects to replace it.

For example, lasting 5 minutes in a 1V2 or 1V3 duel with a graduated pilot-this is to simulate the situation of encountering an enemy with a numerical advantage on the battlefield.

After all, you can't expect more enemies on the battlefield to play a 1V1 "justice duel" with you.

In short, at least on this planet at present, it is difficult to find another team that is stronger than the Atlas HCP pilots in the subject of "HCP hand-to-hand combat".

"No one knows hand-to-hand combat better than us!"

This is what many Atlas HCP pilots posted on the multi-function screen of their cockpits.

So when this group of wolf-like pilots controlled the body to break into the hand-to-hand combat range, the HCP troops of the Imperial Armored Combined Battalion in front were almost wiped out in an instant.

When the HCPs of both sides were mixed together, the main battle tanks and multi-legged tanks in the rear were dumbfounded.

It was originally a night battle with extremely low visibility, and the noise of various energy weapons shooting had been interfering with optical equipment. Now the units of both sides were still mixed together, and they were constantly maneuvering.

This made it impossible for these units to provide effective direct fire support.

Moreover, relying on their advantages in driving skills and the tacit understanding cultivated through extensive cooperative training, Atlas pilots can often create a "many-to-one" advantage in a small area.

The Empire's HCPs often managed to block an attack with their shields, but before they could stabilize their posture, they would find that another HCP had suddenly appeared in the shadow of the opponent in front of them.

Then, there was a simple horizontal slash.

Seeing the friendly units marked with "red crosses" on the multi-function display in the cockpit, the commander of the Empire's HCP troops felt disappointed.

Those enemies who killed their own units in a few seconds had already crossed the interception line formed by the HCP company and rushed towards the rear line.

But there were only main battle tanks and multi-legged vehicles left.

Although their main weapons could also pose a threat to HCP units, especially the electromagnetic reconnection guns equipped on some main battle tanks and heavy multi-legged vehicles, if they were fired well, they could also blow HCP into pieces with one shot.

However, in terms of flexibility, these units could not compare with HCP at all. Once they were approached, they would be killed alive.

This is why, whether it is an armored combined battalion or a heavy combined battalion, they all use HCPs to cooperate with main battle tanks and multi-legged vehicles.

However, the imperial HCP commander could not worry about the friendly forces in the rear at this time.

Because on the full-circle display, the opponent's dark red HCP has already stared at him, and the distance between the two sides is constantly shrinking under the opponent's supersonic sprint.

And he also knows that he is definitely not the opponent of the killer in hand-to-hand combat.

"Hound No. 1, we come to support you!"

Just when the commander was about to drive the Zealot Command Type to fight to the death, the voices of other people came from the communication channel.

He turned his head and saw that on a small slope more than 150 meters to the right, a team of anti-HCP teams were nervously completing the installation of portable anti-vehicle electromagnetic guns.

At the same time, remaining friendly units appeared in several other directions and sent out signals of "prepare to cover the attack".

The commander immediately activated the heavy particle cannon behind his shoulder while blocking the heavy shield in front of him.

Soon, just as the dark red HCP in front of him rushed across a certain line, an orange-red line of fire flashed from the right without warning.

At the same time, there were two other orange-red lines of fire and a stream of charged particles flying towards the target HCP from other directions.

Then, the commander saw a scene that was beyond his cognition.

It seemed that this HCP had foreseen the future. At the moment when the charged particle cannon opened fire, it leaned down and dodged the charged particle beam.

Then, the huge shield was buckled in front of it, and with the frenzied silver-white electric snakes when the deflection force field was fully turned on, it twisted away two high-speed piercing rods that were red from the friction of the air.

Finally, it tilted its head a little bit, dodging the last high-speed piercing rod that was attacking, and the close-defense laser cannons on both sides of the main monitor on the head irradiated along the trajectory of the electromagnetic cannon.

A ball of fire that exploded in the night announced the fate of this anti-HCP team.

And this dark red HCP did not know when it switched the heavy sword in its hand to an electromagnetic rifle.

While the muzzle of the 50mm electromagnetic rifle flashed with lightning, several friendly units that cooperated in the attack also lost signals one after another.

But these imperial soldiers still used their lives to give the imperial HCP commander a chance to attack.

The muzzle of the heavy particle cannon that had been deployed lit up with white light. On the full-circle screen in front of the commander, the target locked by the purple frame was finally engulfed by the surging heavy metal particle jet.

Unfortunately, when the white light dissipated, another HCP carrying a heavy laminated armor shield appeared in front of the dark red HCP.

Obviously, the fatal shot just now had been blocked by this uninvited guest.

"No!"

The imperial commander shouted an unwilling roar.

But this roar only echoed in the cockpit for a moment before it was interrupted by the heavy sword that tore through the main propulsion array and armor plate from the back and finally stabbed into the cockpit.

"The target HCP has stopped its activity, and it has been confirmed that it has not caused the superconducting battery stack to quench."

Mura pulled out the heavy sword from the back of the HCP, and then waved to Amber and Louis who was holding the shield.

Just now, the two of them rushed up with their HCP companies, and the other combat units of the two heavy synthetic battalions also broke through along the gap torn by Amber and his men.

Amber looked at the enemy situation map on the multi-function display. At this time, the Atlas mixed synthetic brigade had already pierced into the imperial army's defense line like a sharp arrow.

And the 30 HCPs in assault configuration assembled at the front were the sharpest arrowheads of this sharp arrow.

"Continue the assault, and continue to expand the results while the other side has not reacted yet!

Send a message to other coalition forces, telling them that we have launched a counterattack, those who are capable will follow us, and those who are not capable will roll aside and don't block the way!"

"Yes! Sir!"
