Chapter 865: Watching the Battle 1

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

East Fate City

Looking down from a high altitude, the extensive dark grey city grounds below burst into a cluster of blue lights.

These bright blue flames rose into the sky without spreading. They merely burned in small areas of ​​the city, unleashing eye-piercing blue flares. Thick white smoke billowed upwards through the flares and formed a vast greyish-white smoke cloud over the entire city.

Swish!!

A blue light beam descended from the sky and crashed into a grey high-rise building in the city. The blue ray instantly destroyed the center structural layer of the high-rise and penetrated straight through it.

With a thud, the entire high-rise collapsed into a pile of rubble.

“Warning again! Warning again!! All East Fate citizens, please immediately hide and flee the city. All citizens of East Fate, please immediately hide and flee the city to avoid injury,” Unfeeling announcements came and went, playing from a huge blue-black battleship hovering over the city.

These battleships looked like beetles that had been magnified many times and had spiking mouthpieces. Blue lights were spewing out from these mouthpieces.

Dozens of large battleships floated over the East Fate City and moved slowly, constantly scanning and capturing the ruins of the empty city below.

The residents of East Fate City who could hide had already hidden and those who could run had already fled, leaving an empty city.

The dead bodies and casualties over these days were not being precisely calculated anymore. Perhaps it had passed ten thousand, twenty thousand, or even a million.

In a huge beetle battleship, Garen and Celine stood together behind a group of commanders. Like many of the other youngsters from big businesses and huge households who were watching the battle, they did not make a sound. They were quietly listening to the big boss and commanders conversing at the front.

Standing in front of the crowd before a giant floor-to-ceiling window were three top pilots wearing a major general-ranked military uniform. An intense force field of Level Five Willpower was emanating off them without any restraints.

They were the supreme commanders and the tactical logistics team who were here this time to deal with the White Light Great Light Mech.

“If the real Great Light Mech appears in area A, His Highness Red Whale might not be able to arrive in time. We will need to resist the other party for at least ten minutes or more and hold him down regardless of the casualties. That is a result we cannot afford.”

“But the other party is in the dark and we are in the light. The key to campaign battles is in intelligence. They do not know which areas our main deployment are at. We also do not know which area their raids are hiding in,” the other man frowned.

“All the representatives of the major households here can raise up any suggestions you have. If it is indeed valuable, our military department and the academy will give out great rewards,” a long-eyebrowed Major General shifted his gaze over and looked in the direction where the wealthy youngsters were whispering among one another.

The reason why these people were called here was to make use of the power of the various households. Maybe there would be many unexpected channels in these households that could come into play.

This was also the practice of repeated battles.

“For the defense alert in the twelve areas of East Fate City, I think our Bane household can contribute,” a chubby young man raised his hand and said. “A new type of jamming device developed by our family can locate the enemy’s specific position in jamming mode, which is equivalent to the enhanced bat fighter system. We are willing to contribute a hundred sets for free.”

“The Bane household right? Thank you for your support! How are the specific settings and moving condition of this type of jammer…”

“The specific parameters are as such…”

The two began to carefully discuss the layout plan.

The rest of the crowd were still whispering to one another. Garen and Celine stood at the back where they had deliberately walked to.

“Where’s your Mech?” Celine whispered.

“In the battleship’s Mech depot, why?” Garen asked.

“Take note, we are now really entering the battle zone. My Mech is a high-grade good brought out from the household. I can jump and leave at any time during crucial moments. Yours is just an ordinary good. If there is any problem, you will be in trouble,” Celine whispered.

“I know,” Garen nodded. “But benefits and risks coexist, don’t they? Being able to watch an Inherited level battle doesn’t come easily. The last Inherited-level battle record was a few decades ago. It was even classified as the highest level of confidentiality. We have no way to access it. Now that there is this opportunity, it would be a waste if we do not take hold of it.”

“If we can find the key to Inherited Level, it will be very helpful for our advancement in the future.”

Minutes and seconds passed by. Garen and Celine conversed softly. Like everyone else, the two appeared to be inconspicuous in a group of rich youngsters who were dressed in fancy clothes.

After some time, a Shining Mech figure finally appeared.

A Shining Mech suddenly leaped and appeared in front of the battleship, wielding a dagger as it dashed towards them in an attempt to pierce through the thick armor with its lone strength.

“Kill him!”

The commander waved his hand and several Blackboard Mechs flew out to meet it.

All of them were Black-Clothed Generals. They stood directly before the Shining Mech in a group.

The second batch of Blackboard Mechs flew out next. When they were about to lay siege to the other side, they encountered another Shining Mech.

Under the gloomy clouds, the Mechs could only be seen as interweaving red and white firepower in the air.

Suddenly, a beetle battleship exploded a distance away. Huge red flames spread across the sky, engulfing an area of hundreds of meters in the city below.

Two black and white humanoid Mechs flew out of the fireball. One of the Mechs was black with striking red eyes and two huge red scythes in its hands.

The other Mech was fully white, and both hands clutched a giant machete that glittered brightly. It was pursuing and hacking at the black Mech.

“It’s Master Red-Eyed Medero!!” someone who recognized the black Mech called out in the battleship.

“Go and call for backup!” someone shouted.

“No! That’s the strongest no.5 Shining Mech under the Great Light Mech. I have seen the records before. None of us can be its opponent! Even Master Medero would not be able to hold out. We will only die if we go out!” someone opposed.

“Yes, and they’re too close to each other and are entangled in close combat. If we can’t keep up with their rhythm, we’ll be doing a disservice!”

A group of people quickly concluded. The three commanders did not voice out and were calm and steady as if they already had a plan for this situation. However, some people were already feeling a little scared. A similar beetle battleship had been blown up, indicating that their side was not guaranteed to be safe.

“With the presence of Master Red Whale there won’t be a problem!” someone said confidently. This statement slightly calmed the worried crowd. After all, this ship of theirs was different from other ships. This ship was carrying important figures and the defense force was also more than three times stronger.

Medero dragged the No.5 Shining Mech and left the area speedily, heading towards other areas. Very soon, they were out of sight.

Over on this side, the victor and the loser of the battle between the Shining Mechs and Blackboard Mechs of the battleship had also emerged. One Shining Mech had exploded while the other had fled; the Blackboard Mechs had lost two and a third had to be written off and could not fight again.

“Have you ever wondered why these White Light Mechs chose East Fate City for their declaration of war?” Garen looked at the Shining Mech that was fleeing away further and asked in a low voice.

Celine shook her head.

“I’ve never thought about it. But, the household analysts have analyzed that the real reason should be to attract attention and actually seek other purposes.”

“It’s possible. But the biggest possibility is that they are trying to figure out how much combat power Blackboard Region can currently deploy.”

Garen conjectured, “From the previous pulse wave incident to the current formal declaration of war, perhaps there will be a greater action later on. I feel that such a huge price and action is no longer for the purpose of getting something.”

Celine thought deeply.

“Indeed. This kind of move should not be simply for that. If it is only for that purpose, they could have done it secretly. There is no need to make such a big fanfare. Too much power is spent here on direct confrontation.”

“So I’m guessing that it is likely that White Light itself is tangled up with Blackboard Region in something else,” Garen whispered.

“Other aspects of the entanglement?” Celine thought about it.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of an explosion from the battleship.

Pewwww!

An ear-piercing harsh noise came from above.

The entire observation window of the battleship immediately became red. It was blinding and more than a dozen people’s eyesight were affected in an instant. They screamed as tears flowed from their clenched eyes.

The battleship shook violently and returned to its calmed state.

“It’s Master Red Whale’s Bright Eyes!!” one commander shouted, “Don’t worry, Master Red Whale has made his move. I believe it will soon be a success!”

Pewwwww!

Suddenly there was a shrill cry again. The floor-to-ceiling window turned red once more.

Garen did not close his eyes but looked straight at the vast red light. Such brightness was nothing to him.

But from the cries of these two voices, he had a bad feeling.

While everyone was closing their eyes to avoid the red light, he promptly held Celine’s hand and swiftly moved backward, running towards the Mech depot. Their footsteps were silent and no one actually realized when they entered another passageway.

“What are you doing!?” Celine shook off his hand and asked loudly.

“I’m afraid there’s a bit of danger,” Garen explained as he walked. He quickly came to the Mech depot and took out his special permit. He brushed it in front of the guard and got permission.

After the electronic door opened automatically, he pulled Celine inside.

“Find your Mech right away. We may have to flee here quickly.”

“What do you mean? How could it be!?” Celine said unbelievingly. “We actually have a troop of thirty-two Black-Clothed Generals escorting our battleship. It’s impossible to have any problems!”

“Of course it is unlikely that something will happen now. But what if His Highness Red Whale is defeated?” Garen said plainly.

“That… shouldn’t be possible!” Celine looked a little sluggish.

“There’s nothing that’s impossible! I’m not here just to simply go one round around the city and then head back. Wouldn’t you want to watch an Inherited Level battle up close? The battle should be happening above our heads right now.”

Garen enticed.

“You’re crazy!” Celine’s eyes widened. “Both of us, Level Two and Level Three brats go up close to watch a life-and-death battle of Level Six Inherited Levels?”

“I’m not crazy. If you want to go then get into your Mech!” Garen went straight to the front of his Mech and stepped onto the elevator platform.

Wuuu…

The elevator-platform sensed the arrival of the owner and slowly rose.

Celine clenched her teeth and spoke no further. She quickly ran to her own elevator platform.

Her Mech was a black double shield humanoid with silver borders. Her two shields were weapons of destruction with sharp serrations at the edge, not just for defending.

At this time, Garen had already jumped into his own Mech and sat in the cockpit. He hit the activate key.

Duuu…

The Mech glowed all around. Blocks of floating light curtains and strips of white data flowed and surrounded the body.

‘Double Blade Captain, proceed with armor charge?” the battleship central computer enquired.

“Of course,” Garen sat up straight, his eyes sparkling with excitement. He took out a small black box from his pocket. It was obvious that the surface of the box had been disguised so that it looked ordinary.

He pressed the box to the console and the entire box melted directly into the inner parts of the Mech.

“Double Edge No. 1, all set to go.”

“Combat readiness system complete by default.”

“Combat readiness system complete by default.”

“Ejection device ready!”

“Ejection device ready!”

“Set off!”

Boom!

The Double Edge Mech lit up at once. The gigantic body blasted off and launched through the opening of the spiral pathway above.
