Page 151

Enhanced capabilities: The Hive Tactical Shoulder Cannon offers a wider variety of projectiles, and the Light Blade Armguard's Tear Whirlwind range is expanded.

Flying Snow, the Night Chaser, has new equipment and weapons.

Multi-target locking system: can simultaneously lock onto different weaknesses of multiple targets, such as joints like spirit seeds, to deliver a fatal blow.

[Stealth Sniping]: Feixue can set a temporary stealth point at a certain location, and sniping from there will extend the stealth time.

Chaff: Launch chaff to interfere with enemy guided weapons.

Enhanced capabilities: The swarm of floating cannons' laser interception net provides stronger defense, and the Shadow Blade Wrist Spikes offer greater stealth.

Erica, the Storm Shark, has new equipment and weapons added.

Shark Swarm Protocol: Can summon 3 small self-destructing drones to rush towards the target and explode.

Stimulant Injection: Briefly overloads the mech system, increasing attack and movement speed, but will cause a brief overheating period afterward.

Heavy missile pod: Replaces some of the pod missiles with a small number of powerful armor-piercing high-explosive missiles for attacking strongpoints.

Enhanced capabilities: Zero-gravity vector thrusters allow for more complex three-dimensional maneuvers, and the chainsaw arm shield rotates at a faster speed.

……

At this point, all mechs have been upgraded and enhanced.

This comprehensive upgrade not only enhanced the individual combat capabilities of each mech, but also tightly linked them together through the Dragon Scale Data Link, forming a powerful collaborative combat capability.

This revamped mech legion will become the strongest bulwark and sharpest spear for Lighthouse and Dragonbone Village in the face of any future threats.

Next, Chen Yuan will begin to eliminate Gray's forces.

Before that, Chen Yuan decided to go to the Coastal Alliance's stronghold to retrieve the previously scrapped Sea Emperor mech.

This time, everyone was mobilized. Chen Yuan was fully covered in the Dragon Core 9 battle suit (he had redeemed a second set). The dark blue light path in the deep sea was like the eyes of the Grim Reaper.

Behind him stood the upgraded, menacing Allied forces, including Mark, Ran Bing, Mo Cheng, Fei Xue, Erica, as well as Fanti and Sengge, among others…

Bai Yuekui's Pure Candle mech hovered on the side, exuding both holiness and majesty.

This elite force, composed of top-tier mechs, soon descended upon the Coastal Alliance.

However, Loongson's advance scan revealed an unexpected piece of news.

The ruins of the core mother nest area were not as desolate as one might imagine. Instead, people and some domesticated sea creatures were busily moving supplies, more like they were preparing for a migration.

Chen Yuan's pupils contracted; he actually saw a familiar figure who should have been dead.

The Third Speaker, Purgatory, despite his severely damaged armor and weakened aura, was directing his men.

Fourth Speaker Xue Wei, pale-faced and clearly still recovering from her injuries, still possessed that eerie aura.

The most astonishing figure was the First Speaker, Cangming, who stood at the highest point, his aura weak yet still exuding an imposing and majestic presence.

"Loongson, life signal confirmed!"

Chen Yuan said in a deep voice, "In that battle, the opponent's heart was indeed pierced. What exactly happened?"

"Target Cangming confirmed. Life signal is stable. Dual heartbeat resonance frequency detected in its chest cavity. It is speculated that the target has dual life cores (hearts). Greylong's attack only destroyed one."

Chapter 210 Thunder Attacks

"Two hearts? Transplant? I see."

Cangming survived a fatal backstab because he had two hearts, with the left one as a backup and only beating when the right one stopped beating.

He realized that Grelong was untrustworthy and Chen Yuan was too troublesome, so he took the opportunity to fake his death and escape.

Not long ago, the Second Speaker, Lan, who had been out hunting Devouring Beasts, also returned.

The four reunited, knowing this place was no longer safe to stay. After discussing their options, they were preparing to pack their belongings and move to their new hideout when they never expected Chen Yuan to return so quickly.

"Everyone, you won't be able to leave for the time being."

Chen Yuan led Bai Yuekui and others to the core mother nest.

Upon hearing this, Cangming's expression changed. Just as he was about to speak, the Second Speaker beside him, Lan, could no longer contain his anger.

She was absent last time and was unable to participate in the battle. She only heard that the Coastal Alliance had been turned upside down by an outsider, and she was already dissatisfied.

"Arrogant! You got away with it last time, but this time all four of us are here, and we'll make you pay the price."

Lan Jiao shouted, and her streamlined battle armor flashed with blue light, manipulating the surrounding seawater into countless sharp ice crystal spears, which shot towards Chen Yuan and the others like a torrential rain.

At the same time, she herself transformed into a stream of water, rushing forward, and a high-pressure water blade materialized in her hand.

"No..."

First Speaker Cangming wanted to stop it, but it was too late.

The battle is about to break out.

……

Second Speaker: Tide Weaver, Lan!

Chief strategist and fleet commander of the Coastal Alliance.

She was extremely loyal to Cangming, but she also had her own inviolable bottom line and pride.

A woman with a cool and elegant demeanor, her long, azure hair flowing like ocean waves.

Her skin is fair, and her pupils appear in varying shades of blue depending on the light.

The bio-armor is streamlined, with alternating blue and silver colors, resembling an elegant and swift sailfish.

The armor surface is extremely smooth, which greatly reduces underwater resistance.

It has foldable aerodynamic wings on its back, which allow it to perform high-speed maneuvers and sudden stops and changes of direction in the water.

Awakening Ability:

1. All streams converge: Possessing unparalleled fluid manipulation capabilities, capable of solidifying or liquefying water on a large scale.

She can instantly compress seawater into water blades or shields harder than diamonds, and can also make large areas of the sea as sticky as glue, trapping thousands of troops.

2. Mirage, illusion manipulation: By precisely controlling the refraction of light in water, a large-scale illusion can be created that is so realistic that it can be mistaken for a real one. For example, it can be used to fake a fleet to hide the real terrain, or even simulate the life essence signal of a powerful Devouring Beast, in order to confuse and deceive the enemy.

……

"Hmph, stubborn as a mule."

Chen Yuan made no move, but simply said something.

Bai Yuekui behind him moved.

With a gentle flap, the Returning Origin Wings on the back of the Pure Candle mech instantly separated into dozens of Phoenix Feather Floating Cannons, which intertwined in the air to form a dense net of light, intercepting and shattering all the ice crystal spears.

At the same time, Bai Yuekui's original body had disappeared from the spot. The next moment, he actually appeared in Lan Chongfeng's path. The energy blade in his hand was formed by the condensation of the Tracing Light Bio-nano Coating. He made a light and casual slash.

"Qiang!"

With a crisp sound, Lan's high-pressure water blade, capable of cutting through steel, was easily deflected. The energy sword pressed down, and an irresistible force came, causing Lan to groan and be forcibly pulled out of the water, staggering backward.

"how is this possible?"

Lan was shocked; the opponent's speed and strength far exceeded her expectations.

At that moment, Mark's mech charged forward like a black lightning bolt, its gravity flail slamming into her face with the power to warp space.

Ran Bing's Frost Oath Watcher provided support from the sidelines, while her Ice Crystal Cannon Shield was ready to block her retreat at any moment.

Mo Cheng's Starry Sky mech also moved, firing its dual pistols in bursts to block her evasive angles.

Feixue set up a sniper cannon on a distant high ground.

Lan was in a completely passive position.

Her prized water manipulation skills paled in comparison to Bai Yuekui's exquisite energy control.

Lan's speed was no match for Mark and Ran Bing's combined attack, and her defense was no match for Fei Xue's poised and ready-to-launch armor-piercing bullets.

"puff!"

In a moment of carelessness, Mark's flail grazed her shoulder armor, and the tearing force from the gravitational singularity caused her excruciating pain, shattering her armor.

"boom!"

A high-explosive bomb from Mo Cheng exploded at her feet, sending her flying.

Before she even landed, Ran Bing's freezing rays swept past, instantly freezing her lower body.

In just over ten rounds, this mid-stage fifth-tier councilor was utterly defeated by the Shadow Squad's seamless teamwork, falling in a sorry state in front of Cangming. She was imprisoned by ice and lost her fighting ability.

Chen Yuan slowly descended, his gaze sweeping over Cangming, Lianyu, and Xuewei, whose faces were grim. "Anyone else want to try?"

Looking at the mecha legion led by Chen Yuan before him, and then at the heavily injured Lan and his two companions beside him, Cangming's last shred of hope vanished.

He sighed deeply, stepped forward, and made a move that shocked all the members of the Coastal Alliance.

Cangming bowed slightly, lowering his proud head to Chen Yuan.

"Big brother!" Lianyu couldn't bear it, so he clenched his fist and then slowly relaxed it.

"Lord Chen Yuan, we have been defeated, and we are completely convinced of our defeat."

Cangming's voice was tinged with bitterness, but even more so with determination. "Greylong is a treacherous and despicable man. We have no way out. If the city lord does not abandon us, Cangming is willing to lead the remaining forces of the Coastal Alliance to serve you and be at your command. I only ask that you give the Alliance's soldiers a way out."

Purgatory and Blood Rose exchanged a glance and silently lowered their heads.

Circumstances dictate our actions; survival is the top priority.

If we recklessly charge in now, we'll die in vain.

Chen Yuan remained silent for a moment, his eyes flickering beneath his mask.

Subduing the forces of these four councilors, especially Cangming who has an exceptional understanding of the ocean, would indeed be a great help in the fight against the Gray forces.

However, precautions are still necessary.

The system store has a slavery chip that can completely solve this problem; if they refuse, then the only option is to kill them.

"can."

Chen Yuan began, "I will implant a chip in your brains, and I need a pledge of loyalty. That's fine. But in dealing with the Gray forces, the four of you must be at the forefront, leading the charge. If you harbor any disloyalty..."

He didn't finish speaking, but his chilling killing intent said it all.
