The battle had taken on a crazy turn again!
Just when the expeditionary fleet thought it had gained a decisive advantage after unleashing one of the killer moves that Ves had in reserve, the defeat of the enemy strike force seed to be set in stone.
Once the Bloody Herons, the Holvein Grenadiers, the Silent Swords and the other elite units had been wiped out to the last ch, the outco of the battle shouldn't have been in doubt anymore.
Yet to the amazent of Ves and everyone else in the expeditionary fleet, the desperate Fridayn seed to have gained a second wind.
After shaking off every inhibition, the liberated ch pilots fought without regard of their lives or any other irrelevant concerns.
The mission had to be completed!
The soldiers could never allow themselves and their comrades to sacrifice their lives in vain. After incurring so much damage and suffering so many deaths, it would be the biggest sha if their primary objective remained unfulfilled.
The Fridayn ch pilots fought with renewed vigor, if only to finish the job they were ant to perform.
This was their purpose!
This was how they were trained to fight!
They did not decide to fight to the death unknowingly.
They fought knowing full well that their efforts would have a profound impact on the future of their state.
The Friday Coalition must survive and win the Komodo War! Only then will this battle and their deaths have aning!
"Do not fear death, friends! Our lives are incredibly short compared to the tiline of the cosmos. What does it matter to die a few decades ahead of ti? It is only a blink of an eye from a cosmic point of view!"
"We are n!" Another ch pilot cried out as his ch pierced its spear straight into the chest of an opposing Avatar ch. "These enemies do not want us to lift up our heads anymore. Each and every one of our sordid opponents want nothing less but to emasculate the brave boys and n of the Coalition. If you have any decency left as a man, then stand up now and fight for equality and justice!"
Even though the outnumbered and increasingly more deranged ch pilots and ch officers were crowding the communication channels with lots of nonsense, their words inspired their fellow soldiers even further.
This was no longer a battle of wits!
What tactics? What formations? What maneuvers?
They already tried all of that and failed to gain the upper hand! The enemy may be inferior in terms of chs and ch pilots, but the trump card unleashed by the Larkinson Clan had changed everything!
Against such an illogical and unreasonable attack, no amount of calculated tactics and strategies availed the Fridayn anymore.
Only grit and determination availed them now, and it worked!
The sudden burst of ferocity took all of their opponents aback. The remnants of the Holvein Grenadiers, the Silent Swords and even the Corundian Giants took the lead and physically collided against the opposing chs to forcibly swing the montum back in their favor.
"We can't back off any longer! As long as we keep giving ground, they'll keep suppressing us with their numbers even further. Let us push into their lines and turn their own chs into obstructions!"
The Holvein Grenadiers simultaneously threw their last grenades forward. They even gave up their final grenades which they usually reserved for their final monts!
The thunderous explosions blasted many of enemy chs barring their way!
It did not matter if the expeditionary forces had pushed a wedge in the Fridayman formation. It didn't matter if the survivors were getting increasingly more outnumbered.
As long as the elites left standing occupied the opponents all around them long enough, they wouldn't have the opportunity to reinforce the depleted ch units that had been assigned to stop the Fridayman expert chs in their tracks.
This ant that the breakthrough attempt by the expert chs had a much higher chance of succeeding!
"Co on, Grenadiers! Co on, Silent Swords! Co on, Corundian Giants! Will you sha our ch regints like this? Advance forward with and avenge our fallen comrades!"
The battle spirits of the surviving Fridayman elites had spiked so suddenly that they had forcibly taken back the initiative they had lost.
One of the stars of the show was the Bloody Heron space knight that was undergoing forced resonance.
Although the surviving ch pilot wasn't abnormal enough to evoke complete resonance, the forced resonance enveloping the ch was so strong that it functionally beca as strong as an expert ch, at least for the mont!
Even though defensive chs such as space knights were fad for their lack of killing efficiency, once they reached the expert level, all of that changed.
Against a large quantity of normal chs, the temporarily empowered space knight fought as if it was a god that had descended onto the mortal plain!
When it swung its sword, a large resonance blade extended many ters beyond the tip, allowing it to slice apart weaker chs that thought they were firmly out of reach.
When the space knight moved, it accelerated considerably faster than what its design should be capable of. The abundant power of forced resonance granted the recently-advanced expert candidate the power to warp reality in his favor.
This was one of the most powerful and most sacred monts that ch pilots could ever enjoy in their lives!
There was no explanation of how forced resonance was able to channel so much power in a manner that comprehensively boosted the performance of regular chs. Uncontrolled energy was very destructive, yet this strange phenonon was capable of directing all of that power in an intelligent way that just so happened to turn a normal space knight into an unstoppable engine!
It was as if the resentful dead of the Bloody Herons had attached themselves to the ch in order to help their surviving comrade exact as much payback as possible!
Of course, all of this power was not limitless. Forced resonance only lasted for a varying amount of ti depending on the accumulation of strength, so the space knight pilot who had turned into an expert candidate knew he needed to make the most of this precious mont.
The more he kept his surrounding opponents busy, the more his efforts contributed to the completion of the mission!
"I have to last." The expert candidate gritted his teeth. "My ch won't be able to make it much longer."
The Bloody Herons were equipped with excellent and highly-robust chs. Their space knights were tougher and could take a lot more punishnt than other ch types.
Yet the ch that was currently glowing according to the will of the surviving Bloody Heron had already been through an arduous battle beforehand. Its fra was already damaged in so portions, and the incredible stresses that it was currently going through to maintain the forced resonance state wasn't making matters any better.
The expert candidate's wondrous connection to his ch already allowed him to know that his overburdened space knight was destined to collapse once the after-effects of his breakthrough ran their course.
Once that happened, his defenseless ch would definitely be subject to lethal retaliation.
It didn't even matter whether the expert candidate was able to eject from his cockpit beforehand. His opponents would never allow an expert candidate to flee to safety.
"Get out of the way!"
The Bright Spear Pri suddenly charged forward while driving its spear forward. While the ch was not designed to be a lancer ch, it was still capable of empowering its stabs with forward montum!
The Bloody Heron pilot instinctively felt a threat from the opposing ch. Even though it did not appear to be a genuine expert ch, the ch had already felled many Fridayn chs by abusing its abnormally strong glow.
Even the expert candidate felt pressured by the Bright Spear Pri's dense glow!
"Tch!"
The space knight actually chose to evade the charge at the last mont! Once the Bright Spear Pri missed its charge, the glowing Bloody Heron ch slamd the surface of its shield against the pri ch.
The silent crunch forcibly threw the Bright Spear Pri aside! Even though its Unending armor plating did not exhibit a single dent, Venerable Rosa Orfan still felt a bit dizzy from the sudden shock.
"You damn Fridayman. Accept your defeat already!"
The scrappy Bright Spear Pri advanced towards the empowered space knight and began to launch a series of stabs. The target easily fended off the one-directional attacks with its shield. It even managed to retaliate by swinging its sword at the pri ch!
When the extended blade ford out of forced resonance struck the spearman ch, the resonance shield popped in an instant. The Unending alloy managed to repel the attack, but not before inflicting so form of damage to the energy stored inside the alloy.
"Ahhh!" Venerable Orfan cried out in pain as she felt as if her current opponent had managed to hurt the Bright Beam Pri on a deeper level! "Don't get hit by that resonance blade! It's too powerful. Not even the armor of my pri ch can withstand the damage!"
The pri resonance acting upon the Bright Spear Pri visibly weakened. The Bloody Heron pilot also sensed that his attack had inflicted real damage onto the spearman ch. The threat he sensed from the opposing machine had dropped!
"Hah! I'll just have to hit you over and over again if this is the case!"
The difference between a pri ch and a ch empowered by forced resonance beca very clear.
The latter imdiately gained the upper hand against the forr! Even though Venerable Orfan was unquestionably the better ch pilot, the Bright Spear Pri was closer to a standard ch than an expert ch. Many of its performance characteristics simply couldn't keep up with the moves that she wanted to perform.
As a result, the ch that perford much closer to an expert ch at this ti imdiately managed to land continuous hits on the Bright Spear Pri!
The only response that Venerable Orfan could make was to make sure that her unstoppable opponent did not manage to stab a blade through the joints and other weak points of her pri ch.
Her efforts barely allowed her Bright Spear Pri to remain intact. Even so, her ch seed to scream every ti it ca in contact with the enemy's resonance.
Forced resonance was unquestionably more powerful than pri resonance!
"Damnit, where's my support?!"
Even though all of the shield bashes, kicks and sword slashes failed to break apart the Bright Spear Pri, its internals were already starting to malfunction from all of the shocks they endured. These components weren't made out of Unending alloy so they were unable to withstand so much abuse!
Just as the empowered space knight accelerated forward at an unreasonable level for a defensive ch, it suddenly turned around and braced its shield just as a pair of daggers clanged against the surface!
"It was worth a try!"
The Piranha Pri had arrived!
The light ch did not look in good shape anymore. Previously, it had constantly harassed and worn down the Fridayman elites. While its superior mobility allowed it to evade many attacks, it was not able to avoid everything. Its ruined coating, blackened surface and precarious-looking flight system showed that not even Unending alloy could guarantee the ch's safety.
Fortunately, now that two pri chs were ganging up on the ch piloted by the newly-advanced expert candidate, the rampaging space knight was much more contained!
The Bright Spear Pri looked listless and faded after suffering several corrosive resonance attacks. Yet Venerable Orfan did not lose any of her battle spirit. She looked forward to any clash against any challenging opponent, and this one happened to be just close enough for her to deal with at the mont.
As for the Piranha Pri under the control of Venerable Tusa, it constantly tried to face the back of the space knight. Even though the light skirmisher did not launch too many attacks, just the threat it posed was enough to make the Bloody Heron pilot feel shackled in his actions.
"You dishonorable Larkinsons!"
