Counterfeit Hero

Chapter 273: Volume 4 Chapter 41 Interception(3) Approaching Him_2

Charging at the front was a severely battered [Vajra].

Glarenz quickly made a judgment, maybe his troops would suffer some losses while breaking through, but once they tore through this chaotic Mixed Army, he could utilize the prison’s terrain to catch a break. He raised the mechanical arm of his Mecha, forming a knife-hand gesture, and slashed it down fiercely as he ordered, ”Attack!”

[Holy Armor 22] increased its assault speed once again. Like an ostrich, its reverse-jointed mechanical legs burst with power, charging straight at the Mixed Army blocking them within the isolation net.

”Wahoo!” The [Vajra] leading the charge let out a weird cry. Its massive body sprang upward, barreling through the intense gunfire. Its seemingly clumsy body swayed left and right, but it always managed to dodge the dense energy cannon fire from the attack teams in time. It hopped and jumped swiftly towards the gap in the isolation net, grabbing the leading [Holy Armor 22] like a gorilla catching a chicken, tearing it in half with one powerful motion.

The Mechas of the Mixed Army behind quickly fanned out in a semi-circle, blindly firing their energy cannons and missiles, completely disregarding the [Vajra] at the forefront.

Seeing the [Vajra] about to be blown to bits by the Mixed Army that seemed hell-bent on silencing it, the [Vajra] suddenly leapt up, rolling in mid-air into the midst of the assaulting [Holy Armor 22] Mecha group. The dense energy bullets and missiles skimmed past its feet, forming a massive meteor that slammed directly into the front of the assault team. Over ten [Holy Armor 22]’s thin energy shields only managed a fleeting red flash before the Mechas were turned into enormous fireballs.

”What kind of tactic is this?”

For a moment, everyone was stunned. The most shocked was Glarenz, the most excited was Zola, the most astonished were Bonnie and James, the most terrified was Susan, and naturally, the most worried was Ann Lei.

The [Vajra] was a maniac, and the Mixed Army Mechas behind it were also far from sane.

Look at this group of lunatics.

When the [Vajra] plunged into the charging [Holy Armor 22] group, the Mixed Army had swiftly formed a semi-circle, initiating an orderly and disciplined fire blockade. The other Mechas that didn’t squeeze into the front positions adopted bizarre stances at the back, playing with metal energy bullets, launching them in arcs and curves.

For a time, all one could see was this cheering group of mixed soldiers, their voices audible even from afar.

”How’s my move?”

”Yours is nothing. Watch mine. Pay attention to the wind direction and angle. See? I hit it!”

”Damn it, you were aiming at something else just now.”

Everyone was dumbfounded by these maniacs. Their skill at beating down a weakened opponent was evidently more proficient than the Miracle Army’s. The coordinated use of firepower and close-quarters defensive maneuvers, amid chaotic engagements, showed an orderly synergy. The frenziedly breaking [Holy Armor 22]s couldn’t break through, being blasted to pieces at every gap.

The frenzied [Vajra] became the focal point of everyone’s attention. It maneuvered and dodged within the [Holy Armor 22] Mecha group like a crazed baboon in a chicken coop, grabbing, tearing, kicking, and biting amidst the chaos. One by one, the [Holy Armor 22] were brutally dismantled into components.

The dense assault formation became a nightmare for the little chicks, forcing them to scatter desperately, trying to widen the distance from the rampaging gorilla behind them.

The gorilla sneered wickedly, making strange calls, ”cluck, cluck, cluck,” chasing the chickens, using both hands and feet to clamber, jump and dash through the isolation net. Countless energy bullets and missiles flew around it, yet it always managed to clumsily and luckily dodge them, diving into one dense Mecha group after another, kicking off another round of chaos.

Ann Lei was worried and frightened. It was her first time witnessing that person’s combat firsthand. She watched intently before suddenly bursting into laughter. She saw Fatty piloting the [Vajra], comically chasing two panicked [Holy Armor 22]. Just as he grabbed one by the neck, he suddenly realized that two heavy [Fierce Beast II] were waiting for him up ahead. He hesitated for a moment, shuddered, then threw down his prey, jumping up like a rabbit scalded with hot pepper water, frantically fleeing before the enemy’s firepower could reach him. His figure leapt, refracted, turning into a Phantom within the isolation net, running nimbly and swiftly.

Amateurs watched the fun, experts observed the technique. Unlike Ann Lei, who was also watching the [Vajra] intently, Bonnie had different thoughts. It took only five seconds, just five seconds, for the [Vajra] to escape the painstakingly set up ambush. Watching it enthusiastically dive into another Mecha group, Bonnie was once again thoroughly and completely shocked.

This seemingly foolish and perverse Fatty, the lecherous guy who ogled at her, the spy of the Leray Federation, the Mechanical Master, the ventriloquist, the sleepwalker, the dance expert, the combat expert, who could cry pitifully at any moment, and now this Mechanical Warrior fully exploiting the [Vajra]’s performance, moving unhindered among the Mecha groups—which one was the real him?

”That’s him! This guy saw through Russell’s plan in Miloke and even rescued Russell...” James’ voice sounded by Bonnie’s ear. She jolted and turned around, seeing the mocking face of James as he sneered at her, ”Originally, no matter what Gordon said, I never took such a guy seriously. But who could have imagined that such a guy would come to my side and capture us! He’s a genius...” James looked at Bonnie, ”Isn’t he?”

Bonnie nodded in tacit agreement. This Fatty had deceived everyone in Gazalin. Whether it was his mechanical knowledge, combat skills, or mechanical control, it undoubtedly showed that this guy was a genius.

The two of them focused on every move of the [Vajra] in the Mecha group, silent for a moment. They didn’t realize that this so-called genius wasn’t as exceptionally smart as they thought. It was just that this guy was particularly afraid of death, so he would diligently and desperately absorb all the knowledge and skills he might need, never letting any opportunity slip by!

”I can’t see his weaknesses, this person seems to care about nothing.” James suddenly said, breaking the silence. ”So, I hope you can get close to him. That guy’s eyes look at you in a strange way.”

Bonnie looked at James in shock.

Seemingly oblivious to Bonnie’s shocked gaze, James remained calm and composed as he said, ”I understand about you and Reinhardt. However, he has already betrayed me without telling you, so naturally, he has also betrayed you. Time doesn’t prove understanding. Maybe you still don’t truly understand him!”

Bonnie looked at the person she had sworn allegiance to, her beautiful lips trembling, momentarily dazed and not knowing what to say.
