Chapter 1475: Chapter 556: Crushing Victory, Empire Showdown

Earlier, the reason he gave up on a direct assault wasn’t to show off; it was because after performing high-intensity maneuvers within the atmosphere, the Red Blade Armor needed some cooling time.

The air resistance in the atmosphere is no joke, and for elite soldiers, a near-zero-resistance space battlefield is actually better.

However, the ten-man formation’s decision to maintain silence wasn’t entirely foolish; they were actually using this time to do something.

The four War Armors that had fallen earlier had completed an emergency replacement of damaged power system components during their descent, then rose back into the air, stealthily positioning themselves behind him, forming a pincer attack on Ren Zhong from both front and back with the other six.

At this moment, whether it was Qi Qi or Marvill, or even the viewers present or watching the live stream via the information network, none dared to easily make a judgment.

The truth is, everyone had been humiliated by Earl Red Blade too many times; it’s happened too frequently and none of their predictions ever seem to matter.

Even Sena Romanov no longer urged them.

The scene where the four nearly met their demise previously also heightened her vigilance, knowing that her urging would not only be useless but also force the ten-man formation to expose their flaws, indirectly helping Earl Red Blade, Ren Zhong.

As unbelievable and hard to understand as it is, the fact is, Earl Red Blade was not falling behind even while facing ten opponents; he was evenly matched.

The "evenly matched" situation in Sena’s mind was broken the very next second.

After a short rest, Ren Zhong’s new-type Red Blade Armor returned to peak condition.

Not only that, he had also pre-activated the overload preheat.

With the help of the biologically characteristic Alien Ore Alloy, his new-type Red Blade Armor could temporarily exceed the mechanical structure’s limits, maintaining stable overload operation for several minutes, and could rest quietly afterward, akin to the ultimate potential training of a human body.

Others thought he was stalling, but in truth, he was preparing for a decisive strike.

In just a second, Ren Zhong moved once more without hesitation.

This time, his action wasn’t a direct assault, but a constant discard of various mounted modules on the War Armor’s surface and interior.

At this point, he had already exhausted all of the medium- to long-range ammunition inside the War Armor, significantly reducing its overall mass, and after discarding the ammo bay, the War Armor’s mass further decreased, granting him greater flexibility and maneuverability.

As the mounted modules began to drop, Ren Zhong first tilted his head upwards and flew straight up.

He broke free of the siege with ease by distancing himself from the ten-man formation at a faster speed than before.

Previously, the ten-man formation controlled their formation very well when chasing Ren Zhong, showing no flaws. But now the situation reversed, as Ren Zhong demonstrated greater speed, and the ten-man formation, apprehensive under Sena’s pressure, had to abandon the balanced attack and defense formation, with six Speed Type Battle Armors following him to higher altitudes and the four slower Mechas slightly lagging behind.

In the high altitudes, once Ren Zhong judged the distance was about right, he immediately reversed direction, deploying all the Energy Weapons loaded in his new-type Red Blade Armor, firing down at high speed with considerable output power.

Relying on the extraordinarily high armor power, Ren Zhong surprisingly achieved incredible firepower suppression on the six who were first to give chase below.

Regardless of the tactics they tried in retaliation, they gained no advantage and instead had their weapons and equipment severely damaged by Ren Zhong.

Moreover, even with Energy Weapons of the same power, Ren Zhong found a better shooting rhythm and target points, consistently applying greater pressure on their Shield generators.

This made the six above cautious.

After all, Ren Zhong had previously displayed a flawless performance of first weakening the Shield, then critically sniping through the Armor. They had every reason to believe he intended to repeat the feat.

To guard against this move by Ren Zhong, the two Heavy Armor Defense Battle Armors at the rearguard threw out a large amount of Floating Reactive Armor in advance.

These Floating Reactive Armors rapidly ascended, floating above the six Speed Type Battle Armors, somewhat alleviating the pressure on their comrades.

Suddenly, the operators of the two Sniper Armors in the middle almost shouted in unison, "Something’s wrong!"

But their warning was too late — Ren Zhong’s figure ghostly appeared below, heading straight towards the two Heavy Armors.

As it turned out, at some point he had stealthily jettisoned the Energy Weapon modules, allowing them to hover in the air autonomously, firing downward according to a preset program. As for Ren Zhong himself, he had used the blinding brightness from the exploding Energy Weapons to conceal himself, hiding behind the vast tail flare of what seemed like an out-of-control, unthreatening last medium-sized Missile, maneuvering in a large circle to reach the bottom.
