Chapter 220: Chapter 125 Commander_3

"Thirteenth Institute has named their price, demanding that we recognize the results of their bioengineering experiments and actively cooperate with them. It’s ridiculous—humans relying on their monsters for protection? The only things that can protect humanity are the bullets and laser cannons we produce ourselves!"

"Their experiments have successfully utilized the Crystal Core of the Blade Beasts; this may not be an unreasonable path. Perhaps we must learn from the civilization of the Blade Beasts. Aren’t fortresses essentially modelled after their nests?"

"Alright, today’s meeting is to discuss the resource allocation for the first batch of three hundred ninety-two fortresses."

"Although we have verified the viability of fortress ecology, for a considerably long period to come, fortresses will coexist with surface cities. We cannot redirect all resources to the fortresses all at once. We’ll need to wait until the number of fortresses globally exceeds one thousand five hundred before we can fully transition into the Fortress Era."

"The Blade Beasts won’t wait for us; we must accelerate the transition."

"Sigh, I’m starting to doubt if there even is such a thing as justice. Isn’t it said that justice always prevails? So where is humanity’s justice? Where is it?"

Fu Jian stood up and saluted, "Marshal! We are humanity’s justice!"

Several elderly people suddenly laughed.

"Who is this guy? Hahaha! He sure doesn’t lack spirit!"

"Fu Jian, one of the three pilots of our latest Horror Mecha project. He’s already taken down twenty-six General Level Blade Beasts."

"Hero! Excellent! Let us become humanity’s justice!"

"Let’s continue the meeting, pep talks won’t save human civilization."

Fu Jian sat down again, and the first-generation Battle Girl next to him gave him a thumbs up.

...

[Fortress Era Year 3]

In the frontal combat zone of the Combined Combat Zone D5, Fortress No. 24 battled a life and death defense war, and the first-generation Horror Mecha was deployed.

Through Fu Jian’s memory, Wang Jixuan saw the first-generation Horror Mecha for the first time and was also shocked by it.

This was also Fu Jian’s first time seeing the full appearance of this humanoid mecha outside the experimental base.

It stood at a hundred and sixteen meters tall, looking like a ’slender giant’ from afar.

Because the need for combat was so urgent, some parts of its paint job remained unfinished, its alloy’s original luster still visible. To provide sufficient power, five modular small nuclear reactors were placed in its chest, shoulders, and outer thighs, with various weapon systems equipped all over its body.

Fu Jian, who had undergone eighty percent body modifications, wore a heavy load suit and entered through the back of the Horror Mecha, wrapped in airbags and was then sent to the cockpit.

A cold electronic synthetic voice kept sounding.

The mechanical spine acted as a bridge, connecting Fu Jian to the control system of the Horror armor.

Automatic sensors stretched out and enveloped all around Fu Jian.

Three hundred sixty subsystems of the Horror Mecha were activated simultaneously, and the driver began to withstand an extremely high load.

The scaffolding was released;

Fu Jian grunted, and the Horror Mecha leaned forward like a giant slowly falling, veins bulging on his forehead, his body was pressed forward and collapsed, then he let out a low roar and forcibly knelt on one knee before slowly standing up.

He raised his arms to keep stable and took two steps forward.

The ground rumbled as the cement broke apart.

Fu Jian slowly brought his raised hands together, the Mecha synchronizing its movements, applying force to the fists.

Synchronization rate at 95%!

Fu Jian took a deep breath, "Report to command center, my unit is ready to strike!"

A hoarse, nearly mad voice screamed in the headset:

"Target, King-level Blade Beast! Code TT230! Fu Jian! I’m giving you all the fire support! Go out there and win this battle for me! Rip that giant insect to shreds! Dammit! The fortress is about to be breached!"

"Yes, sir!"

The Horror Mecha activated a Strong Magnetic Field Ring, the weight of the body lightened, and it started sprinting towards the mountainous terrain ahead.

It was both the first battle and a great battle.

The Horror Mecha entered the battlefield an hour later.

The Blade Beast Group roared like a tidal wave at it, and a giant Siege Hammer type King-level Blade Beast over one hundred and fifty meters tall was roaring at the Horror Mecha.

Countless unmanned drones enveloped the Horror Mecha’s periphery, each drone a flying bomb, constantly moving forward to attack.

The bombers screamed in the sky, dropping all kinds of heavy ordnance;

’Special Winged Dragons’ approached and were attacked by a large number of fighters, both sides charging almost suicidally;

None of these attacks could threaten the King-level Blade Beast with its extremely thick carapace!

The ground ahead kept collapsing, as the Blade Beast Group destroyed the underground structures.

Fu Jian, controlling the Horror Mecha, began to leap forward; the ’slender’ Mecha displayed astonishing speed, light columns lit up behind it, and strong magnetic light rings appeared on the limbs of the Mecha.

The Horror Mecha seemed to fly into the air, knocking aside several General Blade Beasts.

The King-level Blade Beast unleashed an electromagnetic pulse to clear the field, while a thick shielding layer appeared on the Horror Mecha, its uniquely designed electronics unaffected by any interference.

For the first time, humanity rushed up to a King-level Blade Beast!

For the first time, humanity swung a fist of steel, breaking open the facial bones of a King-level Blade Beast!

For the first time, humanity pried open the mouthpiece of a King-level Blade Beast, transforming the mecha’s arm into a giant Destruction Cannon and shoving it inside to fire ferociously!

Boom!

The King-level’s head exploded, and the Horror Mecha stood proudly on its corpse, gazing ahead, pouncing on the fleeing General Blade Beasts.

The local counter-offensive of the human frontline began;

The era of heroes had arrived!

...

[Fortress Era Year 27]

"Commander! The final list for the second-generation Horror Mecha pilots is set, please take a look!"
