Venerable Maysha Emdis of the Trivaxis Helldoves did not share the mindset of a brute like her previous opponent.
Now that she encountered a new enemy, she did not intend to make a move.
No matter how much the newcor insulted her, she still knew it would be a mistake to vent her fury at this instant!
Rather than fight one-on-two, it was better for her to stall for ti until reinforcents arrived.
The Zeon Blademaster's lack of activity did not escape the Fridayn expert pilots.
A private communication channel opened up between the Sulvar Mark III and the newly-arrived expert rifleman ch.
"This Hexer is very calculating. She's definitely waiting for reinforcents. We should gang up on her and see if we can't finish her off before any help arrives. While I can't muster up enough enough strength to finish off the Hexer, I can still pin her down so you can land so solid blows."
"I don't need your assistance." Ghanso replied to the older man. "My Charlemagne and Unit L are enough to defeat this fly!"
Ghanso's young voice and his arrogant declaration astounded Venerable Asran.
"Look, I may have acted unwisely earlier, but a rifleman ch like yours is heavily countered by a light skirmisher of equal strength! Even if that Zeon Bladedancer is not as fast and evasive as my Sulvar, it is still a light ch that can dodge all of your attacks!"
"You don't have to worry about . If you want to contribute, then stay by my side and block the Zeon Blademaster if it suddenly draws close."
"Very well."
Venerable Asran knew that this CRC expert pilot possessed his own pride.
Just like the Vicious Mountainer, Ghanso Larkinson wished to utilize his greatest strength in order to develop it even further!
Yet just like before, Venerable Asran worried whether the Charlemagne would just waste all of its strength. After all, attempting to land a hit on an expert ch that was practically made for evasion was difficult!
The two Fridayman expert pilots exchanged no further words. Ghanso knew that the huge battle taking place around him did not afford him the ti to chat and swap ideals with his opponents.
Not that he even wanted to. Hexers were incredibly repulsive to him. He harbored a special grudge against their arrogant won, though he did not let off their brainwashed boys either!
The latter were already too far gone to be saved! This was a truth that Ghanso only realized later as the CRC instructed him about the Hexers.
If he knew this sooner, he would have treated Ves differently.
The Charlemagne raised its large, oversized rifle. The Scara, the 50 rifleman chs positioned behind the expert ch, followed suit.
For months, Venerable Ghanso Larkinson prepared this day. After so much training and exercise, he was finally able to link up with the Scara long enough to make a difference on the battlefield.
His Charlemagne charged another shot. If he wanted to unleash a regular attack, then all of this accumulation was unnecessary. Yet even if the Zeon Bladedancer boasted thinner armor than other expert chs, they were still very resilient.
Only by employing his resonance strength would Ghanso have a chance of inflicting serious damage on his opponent.
The Charlemagne fired! A bright, dazzling blue-white beam raked just past the position occupied by the Zeon Bladedancer!
Venerable Maysha Emdis easily dodged the clearly telegraphed attack!
She did not even need to rely on her intuition or extraordinary judgent. She just had to keep one of her ch's sensors placed on the Charlemagne's rifle.
No matter what, wherever the rifle pointed at would always be in the line of fire! Observing the enemy ch's aim and avoiding its line of fire was a fundantal skill to all light skirmisher specialists.
As an expert pilot, she had long mastered this ability to an extensive degree!
Venerable Ghanso did not let this miss affect his mood. Against fast and evasive targets, it was normal to miss his shots.
The Charlemagne continued to resonate with its ch pilots as its rifle spat out three more shots in quick succession.
Even though Ghanso employed so technique and layered those shots to make it tricky for the Zeon Bladedancer to avoid getting hit, this kind of ans was not enough to succeed.
Venerable Emdis was a seasoned expert pilot who had long prepared an answer against this trivial technique.
If this was all the Charlemagne could accomplish, then Venerable Emdis had no reason to worry!
"Hahaha! You're too young to make break a sweat, little boy! Expert pilot or not, this little amount of skill and power is the worst I've ever seen! At least Asran forced to fight seriously!"
Though Venerable Emdis looked down on Ghanso, she truly possessed the capital to do so. The resonance strength exhibited by the CRC expert pilot was noticeably weak.
Yet if that was all that Venerable Ghanso and his Charlemagne was capable of, then Master Huron and the CRC would never dispatch him to the frontlines of the Komodo War!
"I was rely probing you in order to establish a baseline of your Zeon Bladedancer's evasive capabilities." Ghanso dryly announced. "Even if you held back, I have enough firepower to end your life."
Venerable Emdis snorted. "What a big tone. Greater expert pilots haven't even dared to make that claim. Do you think those toy soldiers floating behind you can make a difference? Cannon fodder can never threaten the likes of us! It seems the CRC has truly degenerated if it believes it can overco quality with quantity."
The Charlemagne prepared to fire another shot. True resonance swirled around the expert ch and its powerful rifle.
What surprised both both Venerable Emdis and Venerable Asran was that the fifty lesser rifleman chs copied the Charlemange's actions!
Though their rifles were weaker and the glows surrounding their weapons were remarkably less intense, it did not change the fact that they dedicated fifty more instances of true resonance!
"What?! That's impossible!" Venerable Emdis reacted with shock. "Did you field fifty expert candidates at once?! How can evoke the sa type of true resonance? This can't be done!"
"I thought you were an expert pilot, Venerable Emdis." Ghanso sneered. "Our kind is known for surpassing limitations!"
The Charlemagne discharged its weapon imdiately after he finished those words!
At the sa ti, the Scara unleashed fifty potent positron beams in the direction of the Hexer expert ch at the sa ti!
Venerable Asran felt unprecedentedly threatened as he witnessed so many beams lighting up the local space in an instant!
Though the firepower of those lesser chs failed to match that of the Charlemagne, the hint of true resonance empower their weapons had nonetheless increased the power of their attacks to a point where they could threaten any expert ch!
If a bystander like Asran already felt nervous, then Venerable Emdis had finally lost her composure!
Ghanso's timing was impeccable. Though Venerable Emdis had been on guard against incoming fire, the timing of it had still caught her at a slightly inopportune mont.
Venerable Emdis knew that the Charlemagne was the real threat out of the group of Fridayman reinforcents, so her Zeon Bladedancer evaded the main attack above anything else.
While it was fairly easy for her to do so, it was a lot harder to avoid the fifty lesser attacks!
All of them just happened to be fired in a remarkably coordinated zone around her Zeon Bladedancer. No matter where her ch attempted to evade, she would get hit by at least three positron beams!
Even so, the Hexer did not despair. She knew enough about the armor of her ch that regular positron beams did not pose that big of a threat.
However, it was only when her Zeon Bladedancer got struck that Venerable Emdis knew she had made an awful judgent error.
Alarms began to rang inside her ch as four surprisingly-powerful positron beams not only managed to pierce through its resonance shield and hit its fra, but also inflict serious damage onto its armor!
"This power!"
This ti, Venerable Emdis no longer had any intentions to stall for reinforcents. The Charlemagne and its entourage had beco enough of a threat in her mind that she didn't think it was unwise to linger any longer!
She didn't bother to bark a goodbye or offer any excuse. To her, there was nothing dishonorable about making a tactical retreat. Most of the ti, light skirmishers weren't ant to clash head-on against strong opponents.
Though the Zeon Bladedancer's flight system beca more active, allowing it to distance itself rapidly from the Fridayn, Ghanso had already prepared his next volley!
Fifty-one positron beams struck the location of the Hexer ch and the surrounding area!
Venerable Emdis turned even more distressed as the integrity of her ch's armor system declined even further. Not even Venerable Asmaran inflicted this much damage against her ch!
She went all-out to preserve her ch even as it continued to widen the distance.
The greater the distance, the easier it was for her to evade the ranged attacks of the CRC chs.
At least, that was supposed to be the case, but fifty-one positron beams raining down on her position all at once was still a massive threat!
Within the span of twenty seconds, the Zeon Bladedancer's resonance shield endured a considerable amount of attacks, causing it to quickly disappear.
A shield generator activated next. This was a rather unusual addition to regular light skirmishers, and even the Zeon Bladedancer had to give up so performance in order to incorporate this highly-miniaturized module.
Unfortunately, its strength was insufficient to repel resonance-empowered attacks.
The quasi-expert chs of the Scara might not be able to inflict significant damage by themselves, but when they all pooled their strengths together, not even the Charlemagne was able to output so much damage unless it paid a significant price!
Against such a voluminous and highly-coordinated barrage, the Zeon Bladedancer could no longer hold on any longer. It sustained too many attacks for her front and rear armor to hold.
As Venerable Emdis beca more and more distressed, she began to exhibit more and more judgent errors.
This allowed the Charlemagne to finally land a hit!
Once its powerful positron beam struck the Hexer expert ch, it just so happened to strike a damaged portion which already lost a lot of armor coverage.
The beam instantly penetrated past the remaining barrier and inflicted a huge amount of internal damage!
The Zeon Bladedancer jerked and froze in space. The ch had lost too many internal components to remain functional!
"It's over."
The Charlemagne fired one more leisurely shot that caused the Hexer ch to explode.
Venerable Maysha Emdis was dead! The Wrathful Witch that had long terrorized the Fridayn during the past month had finally t her end.
Those who observed Venerable Ghanso Larkinson in action couldn't believe what they had seen. A single ranged expert ch accompanied by fifty special chs had managed to take out a prominent Hexer expert pilot in a surprisingly lopsided fashion!
"Those chs.." Venerable Asran observed the Scara with considerable doubt. "What are they?"
"They're the Scara. They're my retinue."
"Are they piloted by expert candidates or sothing?"
"It's classified."
Before they could speak any further, two more Hexer chs arrived at the side of the broken Zeon Bladedancer.
"Sister Maysha! No!"
The Hexer expert rifleman ch and a Hexer expert space knight arrived too late. Only debris remained of the once-proud expert light skirmisher ch.
"You!" The Hexer ranged ch pointed its weapon at the Charlemagne. "You have spilled an honored sister's blood. I will settle nothing less for taking your own! Die!"
The Hexer ranged ch flew behind the male space knight and used its thick shield and powerful resonance shield as cover. The pair worked with such coordination that the Charlemagne could not possibly gain a firing angle on the more threatening of the Hexer expert chs!
Yet this did not make Venerable Ghanso distressed. Instead, he grinned. Immobile targets like these were just sitting ducks in his eyes!
The Charlemagne and its entire entourage fired at the expert space knight!
Even though the defensive ch was extraordinarily resistant against damage, the concentrated firepower of fifty quasi-expert chs was much more than the Hexer expert pilots anticipated!
The shield succumbed remarkably quickly and in the end, the male expert pilot had to sacrifice his life and ch in order to buy enough ti for the female expert pilot to escape alive!
Though the Battle of Marraketh System had given birth to many heroes and heroic feats, this was the first instance where Venerable Ghanso Larkinson made a na for himself.
Defeating two Hexer expert chs in his debut instantly propelled Unit L into the spotlight!
