The First Sword had no choice but to endure the attacks of three enemy expert chs. After Venerable Dise and her elite comrades successfully launched a battle formation attack, the Hivar Roarer chs at the right flank lost a lot of battle effectiveness!
The large amount of cutting attacks they received was not that hard on their Crumbleshell chs, but a large portion of the bestial ch regint consisted of lighter and more agile models.
All of these lightly-armored bestial chs behaved as if their wings had been clipped! With thousands of chs unable to navigate or fight properly due to their damaged conditions, the Swordmaidens, Heavensworders, Flagrant Vandals and Glory Seekers deployed at this flank were having a feast!
The damage inflicted by the bladestorm wasn't limited to just material damage to the Hivar Roarer chs. The extraordinary energy storm also carried Venerable Dise's will as it propagated through the dwarven ch formations, which ant that every dwarven ch pilot experienced the hostility that the Swordmaiden expert pilot held towards the enemies of her sisters!
One of the consequences of this ntal trauma was that the Hivar Roarer ch pilots were still haunted and completely lacked the guts to confront the human chs with confidence.
As a result, the expeditionary forces quickly managed to finish off hundreds of vulnerable Hivar Roarer chs and were on track to overrun the entire right flank if not for the sudden entry of the three expert chs!
Right now, the Larkinson and Glory Seeker chs were partially suppressed due to the occasional interference of the Mokra Mark II and the Domingo Daren. The forr could easily tear apart normal chs while the latter fired powerful rounds that heavily damaged or outright destroyed every human ch the expert turtle ch struck!
The only obstacle that stood in their way of wiping out the expeditionary chs on this side of the battlefield was Venerable Dise and her expert ch!
In just a few minutes of combat, the First Sword had already been smacked around many tis. It was incredibly challenging for Venerable Dise to keep her new expert ch intact. There were many cases where she was forced to absorb hits because she wasn't able to evade incoming attacks. The Unending alloy armor plating may not look any worse, but all of the physical impacts and shocks were subjecting the internals of the expert swordsman ch to considerable stresses!
Fortunately, backup was finally on the way.
"Dise!" Venerable Imaris Cross of the Cross Clan called. "My Conavis r is almost at your side. Let's work together to stall these Hivar Roarer expert chs."
Surprisingly, Venerable Dise shook her head. "Don't co to . I don't need reinforcents. I can take care of these enemies myself. Head over to the center or the left flank instead. There are additional enemy expert chs there that can't easily be stopped."
Venerable Imaris Cross couldn't believe what he was hearing. "Are you crazy? You're outnumbered three to one!"
"Heh." The Swordmaiden expert pilot smirked even as her ch shook from getting bombarded by the Domingo Darkham. "There are expert pilots and there are swordswon. I already have the asure of my opponents. These dwarves haven't tasted a lot of blood and don't have any refined fighting skills. The dwarves should be fearing instead!"
Though Venerable Dise was not an overconfident woman, she recognized the necessity of transferring more expert chs elsewhere.
From what she could tell, the dwarves deployed 13 expert chs in total, of which one of them had already been taken out of action.
The Hivar Roarers fielded 4 expert chs, of which Venerable Dise managed to entangle three of them. The remaining expert ch of this ch division was fighting on the left flank that was further away.
The Slug Rangers used to field 4 expert chs as well, but the takedown of the Gauss Baron removed a huge threat in their lineup.
That still left three of their formidable expert chs in the fight, though! Two of the Slug Ranger expert rifleman chs were locked in a firefight against the Amaranto. Amazingly, it took two of them to suppress the masterwork ch made by the Larkinsons.
The main reason for that was because the Amaranto's firepower was too unreasonable!
The physical rounds fired by the dwarven expert chs mostly damaged the Graveyard that Venerable Stark was still using as the Amaranto's all-purpose barrier.
In contrast, the Amaranto could snipe at either of the two enemy expert chs with much greater ease because the latter were flying in the open!
Since the Ferrils were on the attack, a much greater proportion of their chs were deployed far forward from their fleet. Their ships were built to be tough and sturdy but the need to pursue and intercept the expeditionary fleet left them bereft of many defensive options.
In fact, the two dwarven expert pilots that were exchanging fire with the Amaranto understood that hiding behind their friendly ships wouldn't have changed much.
"The firepower of this masterwork ch is too unreasonable!"
Though the two dwarves were too strong-willed to fall for the ridiculous claim that the human leader was Vulcan and that his works were proof of his divinity, the Amaranto and especially its glowing rifle were challenging the assumptions of many weaker-minded dwarven ch pilots.
For better or worse, the expert pilots battling against the Amaranto had to show their fellow Vulcanites that dwarven craftsmanship was not inferior!
While Venerable Stark was trying to cope with two of her attackers, another Larkinson expert pilot had an even harder ti trying to stay in the fight!
Just like Venerable Dise, Venerable Orfan was currently being assaulted by three seperate expert chs fielded by the Molten Hamrs.
Of the three dwarven ch divisions, the Molten Hamrs fielded 5 whole expert chs. Each of them were piloted by dwarven talents who erged from their respective ch regints.
This also ant that their expert chs were similar to the regular ch models that the Larkinsons had already t in battle.
For example, the Gatecrasher was a more powerful and more offensive spin on the Molten Furies of the Vulcan's Chosen ch regint.
The Trentine was a fast and hard-hitting expert axeman ch from the Avido Berserkers that was good at breaking shields and chopping through armor.
The Bashravar was an expert heavy hamrman ch from the Forgehamrs that only possessed decent speed but could break or shatter through every form of defense if it managed to land a hit!
The Firemason was an expert striker ch from the Volcano's Wrath that excelled at engulfing large areas of space with intense flas!
None of the latter three were pleasant to fight against, but when they pooled their strengths together, Venerable Orfan was having a much more awful ti!
"Hot hot hot! That burns, you bastard!"
The Riot's unstable resonance shield grew even shakier as the expert spearman ch was engulfed in corrosive flas that were enhanced with a resonance ability!
Although the Firemason was primarily designed to burn large amounts of regular chs, it also incorporated several features that allowed it to put up a good fight against enemy expert chs.
The ability it employed at the mont not only caused its flammable spurt to heat up to a much higher temperature, but also add a corrosive quality to its flas that allowed it to chew through resonance shields with remarkable effectiveness!
However, for so strange reason, the latter quality didn't seem to have much of an effect! The Riot's unstable-looking blue corona had wobbled since the start of the battle, but had never actually broken even after suffering a surprising amount of attacks!
"Hahaha, that tickles! Is that the best you can do, dwarves?" Venerable Orfan taunted despite the fact that her words only riled up the dwarven expert pilots more. "You stupid dwarves are just as incompetent as the ones I've t before. Those stinking savages didn't even invent the toilet yet and couldn't count beyond ten because they didn't have enough fingers."
"DO NOT INSULT US, CUR!" The furious expert pilot of the Bashravar bellowed!
His heavy ch accelerated forward and attempted to slam its massive glowing hamr straight onto the Riot!
Yet just as the Bashravar almost arrived on top of the bright and orange expert ch, Venerable Orfan smirked as she jerked her Riot aside and also managed to thrust her spear out that just managed to inflict a telling blow against the dwarven expert ch's resonance shield.
"Too slow!" Orfan laughed. "Did you really think I would just sit around and let you hamr my ch like I'm as intelligent as you folk? My expert ch can dance circles around yours! Whoever thought it was a good idea to design such a fat and heavy expert lee ch anyway? Just look at what happened to your buddies. The Big Momma managed to wipe all of them out because they ate too much!"
If the expert pilot of the Bashravar was already consud by anger and grief at the loss of virtually all of the ch pilots of the Forgehamrs ch regint, now he had beco absolutely livid!
"SHUT UP! I will not allow you to tarnish the honor of my battlesworn brothers! I shall shatter your expert ch to pieces and personally ensure that your body is flattened to the point where not a single molecule remains intact!"
The Bashravar's resonance shield boiled with total fury! The expert pilot's eyes had already turned red with absolute indignation!
Yet so what?
Anger might cause the expert pilot to resonate even stronger with his Bashravar, but that did not change the fact that it was still a slow expert ch!
The Riot wasn't exactly fast either but it was still a dium ch. Under Venerable Orfan's deliberate control, she always kept her expert ch a step ahead of the expert heavy hamrman ch.
Certainly, the other two expert chs did not make her life easier. The Firemason constantly tried to cut off her escape route by launching concentrated fire, but her Riot was more than capable of soaking up the damage from this relatively ta attack.
"What does it take to burn you down?!" The expert pilot of the Firemason complained.
Only the Trentine gave Venerable Orfan a lot of cause for concern. The expert axeman ch fought just as aggressively as the Bashravar, but the difference was that it had the acceleration and agility to keep up with the Riot!
Most of Venerable Orfan's efforts were spent on parrying and deflecting the Trentine's powerful axe blows. The glowing axe hacked against the Riot's unstable resonance shield several tis and caused it to grow even more shaky.
Yet despite wobbling like a drunken sailor, the Riot's resonance shield still hadn't gone down!
Even Venerable Orfan discovered that sothing funny was going on. In the small amount of practice sessions she conducted with her new expert ch, she had a decent understanding on how much damage her expert ch's resonance shield could withstand.
One of the resonating materials the Riot incorporated was BSN-17A. This provided the expert ch with an additional strong resonance barrier that could withstand a lot of punishnt.
However, the current level of performance was too exaggerated!
Though she was glad that she was able to rely on the Riot's abnormally strong resonance shield to stall and occupy three enemy expert chs, by her reckoning her Riot should have begun to block attacks with its physical armor by now. There was no way that any expert ch of its size and class should have been able to endure so many resonance-empowered attacks without paying a price.
"Wait a minute…"
Now that she paid attention to it, she noticed that any resonance-empowered attack that landed on the Riot's resonance shield grew a little weaker and unstable a tiny mont before impact.
The various attacks that landed on the Riot's resonance shield seed to deal damage closer to the attack of an ordinary ch rather than a powerful expert ch that was able to empower its blows!
She was pretty certain that this was not an original feature of her Riot. When her thoughts began to lean in this direction, she realized that her expert ch felt different than before. During this battle, she faintly thought that her machine had grown a little more… chaotic.
She looked puzzled even as she directed the Riot to dodge yet another powerful but slow hamr strike.
"What changed?"
