It wasn't long before the lack of energy became apparent.
Without the support of long-range firepower, the mechas were starting to become more and more difficult to deal with.
Moreover, the students hadn't had a good rest after fighting for more than two hours.
Everyone was beginning to tire.
Su He was constantly running for his life. His yellow mech kept appearing all over the battlefield.
The heavy sniper rifle in his hand fired again and again, killing off the strongest of the aliens.
He did his best to avoid any openings.
"Boom--!" One of the student mechas was sent flying by one of the aliens. It slammed into the school's wall.
The wall shook violently. Fortunately, it was made of alloy. Even so, it was deformed by the impact.
In the sky, a swarm of flying aliens approached. They were shaped like seagulls, but their wingspans were more than ten meters long.
There were nearly a hundred of them in this group. They headed straight for Hailing College.
This was the first time the aliens had appeared in such a large formation.
There seemed to be no end to them.
Su He's eyes flashed with despair. He knew that once the line collapsed, they would be gone.
These flying aliens would be the straw that broke the camel's back.
He bit down on his tongue to quell his despair. He hefted his laser cannon and took aim at the alien in front of him.
He locked onto his target and a blinding beam of light shot out from the cannon. It left a long trail of flame in its wake.
"Boom--!" The terrifying power of the laser beam tore through one of the aliens in front of them.
But the Seagulls in the sky didn't know fear. They spread out and pounced on Su He.
Su He slung his heavy sniper rifle on his back. With a flick of his wrist, two long knives appeared in his mecha's hands.
Heavy cannons were powerful, but they consumed far too much energy.
Now it was up to him to prove himself!
If he could repel this group of aliens, then they could hold out for a little longer. If not, the line would crumble.
Su He adjusted his internal energy and sent his mecha soaring into the air.
The mecha was as nimble as a bird in the air. It flew straight at first, then changed directions abruptly, dodging the purplish-red beams of light that the Sepids were firing at it.
The yellow mecha sped up again. In a flash it was behind a seagull. It crossed its blades like a pair of scissors and a large head fell from the sky.
Su He didn't pause. His body flickered and he slipped out of the encirclement. At the same time, his long knives flashed through the air like lightning. Seagulls fell from the sky one by one.
The yellow mecha swayed and suddenly split into two. Doppelganger!
Now that Su He was a God-ranked pilot, he could finally use the true Lightning Doppelganger.
Two yellow figures flickered through the air, paused for a moment, then merged back into one. Two more aliens fell from the sky, crashing into the dust.
The students and civilians below watched as the alien seagulls fell from the sky. Their morale soared. The perilous line of defense had been temporarily stabilized.
But to strengthen the line, the reserves took their place.
Finally, the last seagull was sliced open by Su He's knife. Purple blood rained down from the sky.
However, the surface of his mecha was also covered in purplish-red liquid, and some parts of it were already smoking.
This was a long battle and his mecha wasn't God-ranked yet.
Finally, it was at its limit.
Su He glanced at the eleven percent energy bar. He was just about to take control of his mecha to replenish itself.
But the sky in the distance suddenly turned purple.
It was still the same seagulls, but there were more than ten times as many.
It was over!
Su He didn't even have time to replenish his energy.
He stared at the control panel in front of him.
Su He closed his eyes and pressed a button in front of him.
Bang! Su He ejected from the mecha's back and rose into the air. The yellow mecha that had been with him for many years used the last of its energy to slowly descend to the ground.
Without enough energy, it would only be a burden.
Su He still had some of his Discipline left. If he left the mecha, he would be able to last a little longer.
He was keeping his promise and fighting to the last drop of blood.
He knew very well that after this wave of Marauders arrived, it would be impossible for him to hold on.
There was a flash of red as Xiao Han's sword slashed through the alien, sending it flying. His mecha swayed and nearly toppled over.
This was the result of a lobster-like alien slamming its pincers into his mecha's left leg, causing it to lose its centre of gravity.
Xiao Han gasped for air. His lungs burned and his heart pounded so hard it felt like it would leave his chest at any moment.
He knew this was because he didn't have enough energy. He was on the verge of collapse.
His Esper Ability and mecha's energy were almost depleted.
His body wasn't in good shape, but there was no fear in his heart.
There was only a trace of regret in his heart.
The biggest humiliation he'd ever suffered was losing to that fatty from the NEU. He'd worked so hard to defeat him, to erase that humiliation.
But now it looked like he wouldn't have the chance.
Damned fatty, even if I die I'll be a hero.
Can you do it?
Xiao Han screamed to himself.
"Watch out, Senior!" A voice called out from the communicator.
Xiao Han snapped out of his stupor. His mecha ducked and dodged a swipe from one of the alien's claws.
Still, his mecha shuddered and slumped to the ground.
His damaged left leg couldn't support the weight of the mecha. It slumped to the ground, its center of gravity gone.
A mecha that was out of control couldn't be of any use.
This Sovereign-class mecha had killed more enemies than Su He, but it had also taken the brunt of the alien's attacks.
Xiao Han slapped the eject button in front of him. His plan was the same as Su He's.
There was no use fearing death now.
He had to give it his all.
Even if he died, he had to die like a man!
Bang!
There was another explosion. Xiao Han coughed up a mouthful of blood. The ejection had failed.
Just as he was about to eject, one of the alien's giant paws slammed down on him, stopping him in his tracks.
It's over!
Xiao Han's mind went blank.
Pressing the ejection button meant he couldn't control the damaged mecha. It was out of the system.
Failure to eject meant he was a turtle in a jar.
"Boom!" A violent explosion rang out, accompanied by a strong tremor. Xiao Han felt himself and his mecha being tossed into the air before landing on the ground together.
His vision darkened and he almost fainted.
When he regained his focus, he was surprised to find he was still alive.
In the mecha's field of vision, a massive mecha that could even be described as obese had appeared.
As soon as he appeared, spikes sprouted from his body. He wielded a giant mace ten meters long, swinging it in the air. Every alien that got close to him was sent flying like a baseball bat.
What's this?
Xiao Han didn't remember such a being among his companions.
The metallic sheen of the mecha's armor was a sign of its Discipline.
The spiked mace was like a meat grinder. In the blink of an eye, the mecha had cleared an empty space in front of it.
The bulky mecha abruptly leaped into the air, and a series of metal spikes erupted from its bulky body in mid-air.
It pierced through the vital organs of a dozen aliens that were pouncing towards it.
These aliens had been infected by the creatures around them, so their vitals were the same as before they were infected.
The metal spikes shot out, piercing through the aliens before disappearing. When they hit the ground, they slithered back to the fat mecha's body like a fish in water.
Then, an even more bizarre scene unfolded. The fat mecha abruptly dropped down, and its already majestic body suddenly transformed into a huge metal ball. The surface of the metal ball was covered with blades, and it flew out and began to spin violently.
The mecha had become a meat grinder. The aliens were unstoppable.
The Hailing College students within a few hundred meters of the mecha felt the pressure lessen.
Then, a host of figures descended from the sky, shaking the earth.
These mechas, which appeared to be extremely well-equipped, drew their weapons and flew forward to take over the defensive line before them.
The infected beasts that the Lir Academy students had been struggling to fend off were like paper in front of them. There was nothing they could do to stop them.
The mechas worked together seamlessly, filling in the gaps between them.
None of the surrounding aliens were able to get close.
Reinforcements had arrived!
Xiao Han breathed a sigh of relief. What a formidable force!
These pilots were at least Emperor-class, right?
And they seemed to be strong Adepts.
Wait, what's that flame symbol on their chests?
What a strong mecha pilot!
One of the mechas with the flame symbol on its chest approached Xiao Han's mecha. Two metal blades sliced through the opening and removed the cover.
Xiao Han had recovered by now and was scrambling to his feet.
"Are you alright?" A melodious voice asked.
A female mecha pilot?
Xiao Han was surprised. "I'm fine.
Who are you? "
"We're Star Division. We're here to save you.
Don't worry, you're safe now. "The female pilot shot to her feet and headed back to the battlefield.
