#849 - Chapter 849: Big Move
The four Hammerhead mechs could easily handle the Guardian mechs in front of them.
“Whoosh~”
It took about 3 seconds for the outer Guardians to launch an attack, and during this time, the Hammerhead mechs could completely escape through subspace. Therefore, their successive attacks failed.
“Whoosh whoosh whoosh~”
After avoiding the golden rune arrays, three Hammerheads flew in front of a Guardian. They formed a large triangle, two above and one below, and activated their hammers simultaneously.
The Guardian mech didn't know what they were doing and didn't react immediately.
At this moment, another one suddenly appeared behind it.
The four Hammerhead mechs successfully constructed a cube.
“Buzz~”
In one-thousandth of a second, the Hammerheads constructed a tetrahedral space, surrounding the Guardian in the middle.
“Boom~”
This space instantly collapsed, and the surrounding airflow rushed in, creating a huge roar.
The Guardian mech, along with the tetrahedral space, was entirely moved into the realm of death.
In the blink of an eye, this space returned to calm, but it was empty.
“Boom~”
“Boom boom~”
Within a few seconds, many more Guardians were successively caught.
“Huh? What's going on?” Old Qin saw this strange scene through the screen.
“Commander, it's unclear at the moment. Preliminary judgment suggests that the Hammerheads in their hands may be engraved with subspace runes,” a staff member reported.
“Even if they are engraved with subspace runes, it's impossible to break through the spatial shield,” Old Qin didn't accept this explanation.
In his opinion, subspace runes must act on an object to be effective.
But the spatial shield already protected the mech, making it impossible to attack. Naturally, the runes couldn't have any effect.
The staff member didn't answer; he didn't know why either.
Without knowing what happened, they didn't know how to respond.
Since the Hammerhead mechs also possessed spatial shields, the Guardian mechs had no effect with physical attacks other than using the golden rune arrays to tear space.
This created a vicious cycle.
The Guardian mechs needed at least three seconds to activate the array, while the Hammerhead mechs only needed one-thousandth of a second to construct a tetrahedron and hollow out the area. Therefore, the Guardian mechs were surrounded as soon as they appeared, and before the array could be activated, they were entirely taken away.
Even though there were many Guardians, they were completely on the defensive for a time.
“Form an array!” Old Qin immediately issued the order.
If they continued to fight alone, the eight hundred Guardians would be slowly defeated one by one.
“Yes!”
The staff immediately issued the order.
After receiving the order, the Guardian mechs gathered in groups of six.
They condensed an array in each of the six directions—up, down, left, right, front, and back—completely wrapping themselves in the middle.
And many such groups constructed an array, surrounding the Hammerhead mechs in the middle.
In addition, more than a hundred Guardians shuttled around the periphery of this array, waiting for an opportunity to attack the Hammerhead mechs.
In this way, if the Hammerhead mechs wanted to deal with any Guardian, the array on the array point would be immediately launched.
Saving the time of condensing the array made it much more difficult for the Hammerhead mechs to succeed.
But this didn't stump them.
Those Guardians shuttling around had no chance to attack, so they could directly attack those array points.
If four Hammerheads weren't enough, then use eight.
Four below and four above could enclose a cubic space with sides of 50 meters.
This space could just take away the array point formed by the six Guardian mechs as a whole.
“Boom~”
“Boom boom~”
Again, there were many roars of collapsing air.
A dozen array points formed by golden runes were taken away as a whole.
“What?” Old Qin's eyes widened.
That was nearly 100 Guardian mechs, gone in an instant.
He simply couldn't understand it.
Clearly, every Guardian mech had activated its spatial shield, and the outer six sides were wrapped in golden arrays. How did they penetrate these two layers of protection and eliminate them all at the same time?
“Use the ultimate move!” Old Qin was extremely frustrated.
Fortunately, his physique was strong, otherwise, he would have spat out a mouthful of old blood long ago.
“Yes!”
The staff issued the order again.
After receiving the order, those Guardians disappeared on the spot, all gone.
The Hammerhead mechs lost their attack targets and returned to the ground to regroup.
“Where did they go?” Dongfang Chen Er asked.
“I don't know. Could they have run away?” Nata asked rhetorically.
“How is that possible? They just lost more than 300 mechs. How could they willingly retreat so decisively?” Dongfang Chen Er didn't believe it.
“That's true. Could they be brewing some big move?” Nata asked.
“Very likely. In that case, for safety's sake, let's retreat towards India and Pakistan,” Dongfang Chen Er said.
