Nightingale, a light close-combat mecha, featured streamlined armor with numerous tiny ventilation holes to minimize air resistance.
This was a common characteristic among mechas named after birds.
Light close-combat mechas were primarily characterized by high speed, low air resistance, the ability to maintain flexible trajectory changes at high speeds, and the execution of various bizarre and unpredictable assassination maneuvers in mid-air.
However, the natural enemy of light close-combat mechas was the comprehensive medium mecha, equipped with a multitude of weapons.
Indeed, the enemy medium mecha before them, clad in samurai armor, was a comprehensive medium combat mecha.
Its heavy defensive armor, not inferior to that of a heavy mecha, two sharp and hard samurai swords, close-combat interception weapons on its shoulders, back, and arms, and its size, double that of Nightingale, all indicated the mecha's formidable power.
Facing the charging "little bird," the opponent was not overly panicked. It steadily spread its twin arm shields, its back armor abruptly reversing, preparing to wait for the rabbit.
During its charge, Nightingale vanished without warning. After a short-range [Flash Burst], it suddenly appeared behind the samurai mecha.
Its sharp twin blades slashed down fiercely, striking the enemy's back squarely.
However, the soft sensation transmitted back startled Ye Ying.
The enemy's back armor was made of a special flexible material that could absorb a significant portion of the attack's force.
The severed armor rapidly regenerated, returning to its original state at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The samurai mecha suddenly turned, its twin swords slashing from both upper and lower directions.
"Ye Ying!!" Tao Na cried out urgently, controlling her mecha to charge forward.
Countless metal tentacles surged out again, entangling the twin swords.
But the sharpness of the swords exceeded everyone's expectations. They directly severed dozens of tentacles and swung towards Nightingale. If Nightingale couldn't evade in time, it would be cut in half.
The situation once again defied everyone's expectations.
With a loud "Bang!" from the sky, Nightingale actually vanished into thin air.
Judging by the sound, the enemy mecha had indeed struck Nightingale, but why was there no wreckage?
Just as everyone was frantically searching for Nightingale's whereabouts,
It quietly appeared from the samurai mecha's waist, holding its beam sword in reverse, and fiercely thrust it towards the thickest armor!
Immediately after, Nightingale vanished at high speed, appearing on the enemy's left side and thrusting towards the left arm shield!
However, both thrusts caused no substantive damage to the enemy mecha. Instead, Nightingale's beam sword edge broke.
"Hm? Why do you seek humiliation?" the enemy pilot asked arrogantly and confusedly.
Qiao Weiwei also shouted anxiously, "Captain Ye! Are you crazy! You should always attack the weakest points, not hack at the hardest armor!"
Ye Ying's silence further deepened everyone's doubts.
The samurai mecha clearly lost some patience. It threw its twin swords into the sky, freeing its hands, and rapidly lunged to grab Nightingale, intending to hold it firmly!
The thrown swords' hilts emitted flames, adjusting their attitude as they speared towards Nightingale!
Just as the hands and blades were about to seize Nightingale,
Nightingale's twin blades suddenly emitted a pink glow.
Only then did Ye Ying calmly shout, "Combined Technique, Attack Synchronization! Chase Hawk Grasp Abyss!"
Nightingale mecha suddenly transformed into a winding, swimming dragon, swiftly dodging the enemy's hands and flashing above the two samurai swords.
It hugged the two samurai swords, taller than the Nightingale mecha itself, and thrust them towards the enemy!
Then, Nightingale vanished in the air again, instantly appearing at the enemy's waist.
The previous probing attacks were actually to gauge the toughness of the enemy's armor, then adjust the synchronization frequency for effective offense.
Nightingale's two beam swords pierced directly through the thickest armor, into the enemy's waist. As its arms rotated, it precisely damaged the mecha's waist rotation mechanism.
At this moment, the two samurai swords struck the enemy's back and bounced off.
Nightingale flash-burst forth, caught one sword, carried the greatsword, spun twice in the air, and cleaved the enemy's neck with extreme acceleration.
With a "crack!", the enemy's head was severed by its own samurai sword.
Nightingale decisively dropped the sword, charged forward to grab the other samurai sword, and thrust it towards the severed neck!
The twenty-meter long sword pierced directly through the enemy, emerging from its chest.
The entire process was fluid, extremely magnificent, and every move was fatal, with no wasted actions.
All his teammates were stunned, and no one dared to voice any further doubts.
Suddenly, the pierced enemy mecha activated again!
Its hands suddenly merged into blades, stabbing from behind Nightingale!
"Hahahahaha!" a confident young man's laughter echoed from the sky.
"Ultimate Skill! Sky-Piercing Golden Spear Throw!"
A wide and thick golden spear shot out, directly piercing the samurai mecha. The immense impact propelled the enemy towards the sea!
With a "boom!", the samurai mecha exploded into a brilliant fireworks display.
Other surviving enemy mechas turned and retreated.
"Golden Power · Ao Tian has arrived!! Hahaha!"
The golden, gleaming Sky-Devouring Golden Armor rapidly charged over, steadily catching the returning golden spear, and hovered between everyone.
"One, two, three, four, five, six! Add me, seven!" Golden Power · Ao Tian shouted with a smile. "Grey, Red, Green, Pink, Blue, Brown, plus my Gold! The Rainbow Squad is assembled!!"
Golden Power · Ao Tian's sudden appearance surprised everyone. They all knew he was on a secret mission with Gu Ya, so why was he here?
Qiao Weiwei exclaimed joyfully, "Ao Tian, why are you back? Are Gu Ya and the others back too?"
Tao Na quickly asked, "Captain Gu is back?"
Of course, Ye Ying was the most surprised. She had missed and worried about Gu Ya for so long.
Golden Power · Ao Tian laughed and said, "There was a situation midway, and I detached from the team without authorization and returned to the homeland."
"Tch—!" Qiao Weiwei exclaimed disdainfully, "You made us happy for nothing!"
Ye Ying was indeed disappointed, but this low mood lasted only a few seconds. Ye Ying calmly said, "Soaring Eagle Third Team, assemble. Continue advancing towards the target city!"
"Hurry up! I can't wait to unleash the power of my new mecha!" Qiao Weiwei shouted excitedly.
The seven mechas formed a large-speed diamond formation, with Nightingale flying at the forefront, Red Beast and Swift Hawk on the left, Green Duke and Peach Creek on the right, and Sky-Devouring Golden Armor at the rear, encircling the massive brown New Windhouse mecha in the center.
The new Windhouse mecha, referencing the mother-child structure of "Unfettered Red" and the advantages of the traditional Windhouse 1 and 2, had ammunition bays distributed across its entire body, enabling self-sufficiency.
Hours later, with almost no obstacles, the seven mechas flew to the capital of Baideba Kingdom: Ni Hong City.
Six mechas surrounded the Windhouse mecha in the center, leaving a sufficient safety distance.
Gazing at the turbulent suspended vehicle traffic, numerous skyscrapers, and countless pedestrians and civilians in the city.
None of the Soaring Eagle Third Team members felt any pity.
Over eighty years ago, the Baideba Kingdom brazenly launched an invasion, attacking all cities within the Yong Gu Zhi Lan war zone, including Wu He City, Hai Tong City, and Yan Zi City. They destroyed numerous important buildings and massacred 330,000 Xianxia people.
When they set foot in Xianxia and slaughtered Xianxia people, they should have expected that one day, Xianxia would exact revenge!
The reason for not settling the score for over eighty years was that during this period, this small island nation, like an insect, had been relatively obedient.
Who would have thought that after nearly a century of dormancy, it would dare to jump out again as a clown, invading Xianxia once more? This was self-inflicted humiliation.
"Operation against the capital of Baideba Kingdom, Ni Hong City, commence!" Ye Ying stated calmly. "Qiao Weiwei, unleash your ultimate skill!"
"Received!" Qiao Weiwei responded with a rare cold tone.
The massive new Windhouse mecha slowly hovered and began to transform in mid-air.
Two giant arms merged, outer armor flipped and interlocked, and the tiered ammunition bays on its back extended forward, locking onto its shoulders. Numerous ammunition output conduits connected to its arms.
The two mechanical giant palms, fingers interlocked, formed small cannon ports. /
The hand armor shot backward to the wrist, revealing its internal structure.
This was the "Beam Energy Focusing Amplifier Impact Device" from Windhouse 2.
"Rui Zi, with me!" Qiao Weiwei said, tears blurring her vision.
In her blurred vision, Qiao Weiwei saw Rui Zi's hand from her memory, holding hers, and both hands simultaneously pressed the activation button.
An immensely bright spherical beam energy rapidly coalesced at the cannon ports!
"Boom—————!!!"
A colossal beam cannon, capable of engulfing all things, erupted from tens of meters in front of the cannon ports!
As the Windhouse-type mecha steadily and slowly raised its arm cannons,
The giant beam cannon, like a sky-supporting pillar, bombarded the city, carving a straight, thick groove through it! From one end of the city to the other.
All buildings hit turned into lava, suspended vehicles instantly detonated, and enemy civilians turned into cannon fodder.
After the cannon fire ended, the Windhouse mecha's arms were disabled.
But the battle was not over.
The Windhouse mecha's limbs suddenly detached, hovering in the air. Its legs connected to its shoulder armor, forming new arms.
Its arms moved backward, connecting to the back ammunition bay interfaces.
The leg armor suddenly opened, connecting to the ammunition bay power conduits, and countless beam cannons extended from the armor.
Tens of thousands of beam cannon fire roared out from its legs, targeting the city.
Skyscrapers were instantly pierced, becoming riddled with holes.
Countless deep pits were blasted into the streets.
Baideba citizens fleeing in all directions, no matter where they hid, could not escape the radiation of the beam cannons, exploding into mist of blood, tragically disappearing among the rubble.
The Windhouse mecha alone reduced one-fifth of Ni Hong City to ruins.
Ye Ying said coldly, "Alright Qiao Weiwei, the tactical deterrence effect has been achieved. Cease fire and prepare for withdrawal."
The Soaring Eagle Third Team quickly regrouped and flew away from above the city, heading towards the homeland.
