The Charlemagne and his Scarra posed a very great threat on the battlefield, yet they were not without their flaws.
One of the greatest shortcomings of the quasi-expert chs controlled by Venerable Ghanso was that they were very fragile against other expert chs.
Right now, the threatening Leskin had just drawn away the Jeanne D'Arc, thereby depriving the Scarra of their bodyguard.
This allowed the Star Dancer to pick off the Scarra with powerful shots.
Of course, Venerable Ghanso should have been able to shoot down the opposing rifleman ch a while ago. Yet he had been unable to get rid of this annoyance because there were too many flies getting in the way of his attacks!
The Glory Seekers ch pilots did not hesitate to put their lives on the line by using their chs as shields! Even though the chs blew up right after, they succeeded in blocking or mitigating the incoming resonance-empowered beams!
More Glory Seeker chs began to divert their attention to Unit L. Every Hexer loathed Venerable Ghanso Larkinson. Even though he was kin to the fad Ves Larkinson, Ghanso had too much Hexer blood on his hands!
"Die, Hexer slayer!"
"We will never let you kill more Hexers after today!"
Even though the Glory Seeker preoccupation reduced the pressure on the other expert chs, their combined efforts made life very difficult for Venerable Ghanso!
"Fine!" He shouted. "If you want to fight so bad, then so be it! I'll kill all of you before I co for Ves!"
The Charlemagne and its entourage stopped focusing on the elusive Star Dancer and instead shot at every enemy standard ch in Ghanso's sights!
His killing efficiency increased due to two reasons. As the Scarra slowly reduced in numbers, Venerable Ghanso experienced less of a burden in controlling the remaining quasi-expert chs. He also didn't have to employ full-power attacks to take down most standard chs, thereby enabling him to adopt a higher rate of fire!
Venerable Brutus tried his best to wipe out the Scarra as fast as possible in order to render Unit L toothless, but Venerable Ghanso purposefully moved his ch over to the other beleaguered Fridayman expert chs.
With more and more of the enemy expert chs joining forces, it beca a lot more difficult to take them all down! chs blew apart at a faster rate than before.
Even though the resonance shields of so of the expert chs had already popped, their super-hard armor still granted them plenty of damage resistance against most attacks, especially lighter ones.
Colonel Ariadne Wodin began to grow increasingly more concerned. The enemy expert chs weren't weakening fast enough. The Glory Seekers and the Crossers were losing their chs at a prodigious rate, causing the enemy to experience less pressure over ti.
While the fight against the enemy expert chs was very tragic for the Golden Skull Alliance, the confrontation against the elite ch units wasn't going well either!
While the Transcendent Punishers succeeded in crippling the Holvein Grenadiers, they hadn't been able to direct their firepower elsewhere.
The Corundian Giants, the Bloody Herons, the Silent Swords and other less-fad units successfully advanced while only suffering light to moderate attacks.
At this ti, the Bloody Herons took the lead. As soon as they were about to clash against their opposition, the Fridayman ch pilots all lded their minds together into a neural network!
"Fight for the Coalition!"
The Bloody Heron chs soon changed in character. Their formations beca a lot tighter and their coordination abruptly increased.
"Damn! The Herons are getting serious now!"
The mont the Bloody Heron chs collided against the Avatars of Myth, the latter failed to withstand the pressure!
The Tamris Stellars that the Avatars relied upon to greet the initial push completely failed to delay the Bloody Heron chs! The enemy machines either combined their attacks to circumvent or break the shields of the comrcial space knights without too much effort!
The Princess Jeckas that swept forward in order to threaten the enemy lee chs were unable to hold them back either! Their relatively weak strength made it very difficult for their swords to penetrate the armor of the Bloody Heron chs.
Instead, their cheap fras quickly succumbed as the Bloody Herons worked in unison, always opting to launch simultaneous attacks from multiple directions with impeccable timing!
Commander lkor was on the verge of panicking. Even if he managed to land a lot of hits onto the Bloody Herons, the rifle of his Vima Sun was simply too weak to achieve instant results.
"Pull back and Condense your lines! Help is coming!"
The Avatars were never ant to defeat the Bloody Herons. The Larkinsons were rely supposed to keep the Fridayn occupied, but lkor had miscalculated how well their current foes were able to defeat his n with so much ease.
Fortunately, reinforcents arrived quickly.
"Death from above!"
250 Valkyrie Interceptors and 250 Valkyrie Hurricanes swooped down from above!
The third eyes on their foreheads shone before shining hundreds of beams onto the chs of the Bloody Herons.
The Fridayn ch pilots couldn't help but pause. While their strange mind state left them much less susceptible to the glow of the Valkyrie chs, just the physical charge alone posed a significant threat to them because they were outnumbered by more than 2-to-1!
It was at this ti that the Silent Swords shot forward! The elite swordsman ch unit weren't supposed to be deployed so early, but the threat posed by the Valkyrie chs were far too potent.
The Silent Swords were unquestionably superior in lee combat. The Konsu ch pilots possessed minds of steel and a mastery in swordsmanship that most Hexers could only dream of. This combination made them exceptionally suited to confront the Valkyrie chs!
The Glory Seekers made the difficult decision to abort their charge. Instead, their Valkyrie chs arced away while strafing the Bloody Herons and Silent Swords with their pulse submachine guns. Their guns inflicted light damage onto the enemy chs, but the advantage of the weapons was that the Valkyrie chs could keep firing without worrying about any limitations for quite so ti!
The Glory Seekers opted to pressure the Silent Swords with their strafing runs in order to keep them occupied.
Additional chs surged forth in order to pin down the Fridayman elites. The Cross Clan's mainstay chs took over the position of the Avatars of Myth and adequately kept the Bloody Herons and the Silent Swords contained, if only for so ti.
There were still too many threats! The Friday Coalition had brought thousands of more chs, each of which needed to be contained. The Glory Seekers and the Crossers were spreading themselves thin in order to block the elite Fridayman chs from advancing forward, but they were already reaching their limits!
The Avatars, Battle Criers and Vandals had been relegated to helping from the side. This was the only way to prevent them from losing their budget chs too quickly, but they were only able to play a marginal role in this clash.
"Damn! Our allies won't be able to hold on!" lkor cursed.
While the disparity in quality between the two sides wasn't as great now that the Larkinson chs had made way, the numbers weren't in their favor.
If the Larkinson chs weren't able to make the difference, then the Fridayn chs would eventually be able to gain an unstoppable advantage!
"We need more help!"
The Larkinson Clan still had several cards left to play.
"Larkinsons! Hold steady!"
The first pri ch had entered the fray!
"Vandals!" Venerable Orfan called as her Bright Spear Pri shone like a fla as she advanced! "Advance with my spear!"
The Flagrant Vandal ch pilots swelled with battle intent as the glow of the Bright Spear Pri enveloped them. Both Qilanxo and the Golden Cat lent their presence to the ch, causing it to turn into a beacon of hope that infused so much-needed courage in their hearts!
"Fight like a Vandal! Don't clash head-on against these Fridayman chs. Harass them from their flanks and annoy them as much as possible. Take what is ours!"
"Take what is ours!" The invigorated Vandal ch pilots proudly echoed!
Under Venerable Orfan's lead, the Flagrant Vandals turned into a bunch of scumbags who never gave the Fridayn an opportunity to confront them in a fair fight.
The Vandals circled around and raked the flanks of the Bloody Herons. Even though the latter was always able to respond perfectly to the attack runs due to their extensive coordination, not a single Bloody Heron ch was able to match the Bright Spear Pri in battle!
Even though the spearman ch fell far short of an actual expert ch, the huge amount of pressure it exerted made it very difficult for any human to stay close in its presence.
The heavy glow of the Bright Spear Pri pressured the Fridayman ch pilots to such an extent in close range that they were practically forced out of the neural network!
Once the individual Bloody Heron chs in front of the Bright Spear Pri beca isolated, their ch pilots couldn't adjust to the changes fast enough to make the right responses.
With Venerable Orfan's superior skill along with the strength of a pri ch derived from the unfinished Bright Warrior Version B design, she quickly felled half-a-dozen enemy chs in quick succession!
The Bloody Herons instantly recognized the threat she posed. What one ch pilot knew, all of the ch pilots knew.
Their ranged chs no longer exchanged fire with other ranged chs and instead concentrated their fire on the Bright Spear Pri.
The Fridayn judged that the strange ch that exhibited a different form of false resonance was a high priority target. Taking it down not only deprived the Larkinson Clan of a champion, but also damaged their morale!
The weak resonance shield around the Bright Spear Pri quickly popped as a torrent of energy beams and gauss rounds flooded in its direction!
"Hahaha!"
While Venerable Orfan employed evasive maneuvers, she did not pull her ch back. Instead, she allowed her ch to continually get hit by her opponents.
To the surprise of both sides, the Bright Spear Pri largely remained intact!
While so vulnerable surface components and other parts were compromised, much of the armor plating did no suffer a single scratch!
The Unending alloy cladding much of the ch had successfully fended off the incoming attacks!
"Hahaha! Is that all you got? Shoot at so more!"
The Bloody Herons collectively analyzed the result of their attacks and soon made so adjustnts.
The Fridayman rifleman chs no longer wasted ti on the odd pri ch. Instead, they went back to pressuring other chs.
It only took a few seconds before attacks fired from the rear of the Fridayman forces impacted the Bright Spear Pri instead!
No energy weapons struck the pri ch. Instead, gauss rounds of a heavier caliber than before slamd into the spearman ch and ramd it backwards.
"Hey! Who the hell shot this ti?!"
The cannoneer chs of the Corundian Giants had taken over the task of suppressing the Bright Spear Pri!
After proving the viability of this tactic, the cannoneer chs mounted on the backs of space knights fired their primary armants at an alternating pattern.
Every half-second, at least one kinetic round slamd into the indestructible chest of Venerable Orfan's ch. While the ch still remained as whole as ever, the ch was constantly being pushed back ter by ter!
"What gives! Let fight already!"
Venerable Orfan beca more and more frustrated as all of the power she had at her disposal wasn't able to prevent her pri ch from getting pushed back again and again.
The Fridayn did not let up. The Corundian Giants allocated a considerable amount of firepower to suppress this potentially destabilizing factor.
Unfortunately for them, the Bright Spear Pri wasn't the only pri ch on the battlefield.
The Corundian Giants detected an approaching energy signature. Their ch pilots initially dismissed the incoming ch because it was only a light ch that was probably scouting forward. The light ch even circled around and kept a respectable distance from every Fridayman ch.
That was until it turned around and advanced rapidly towards the Corundian Giants. It accelerated thirty percent faster, causing it to build up its speed faster!
So of the combination chs of the Corundian Giants turned around and fired at the approaching light ch.
Predictably, the light ch easily evaded the attacks.
The Corundian Giants weren't worried. When the light ch ca close, the cannoneer chs suddenly shot out simultaneous blasts of fracturing projectiles!
Like shotguns, the cannons turned the entire area around their target into a lethal zone against any lightly-armored ch!
Unfortunately, the Fridayn miscalculated again! The light ch possessed a resonance shield as well! Even though it only blocks a portion of the attacks, the remainder bounced harmlessly off its thin Unending armor plates without severely slowing the machine down.
The lone Piranha Pri rapidly entered the middle of the enemy formation! The surrounding combination chs instantly froze or slowed down for a mont as their ch pilots ca under the effect of a crippling glow!
"You're too slow!" Venerable Tusa Billingsley-Larkinson crowed as the daggers of his Piranha Pri stabbed into the vulnerable back of a cannoneer ch!
