The Mech Touch novel Chapter 2732

Chapter 2732 - Challenged

An hour later, Ves and his group exited the giant tree complex. They walked back to their shuttle parked in the periphery of the service center grounds.

"Miaow!"

"Meow!"

Both Lucky and Clixie enjoyed the opportunity to stretch their limbs again. The time they spent on the balcony near the top of the artificial tree was too boring for the energetic cats.

Their owners were amused by the antics of their pets. While their pets had plenty of space aboard the Spirit of Bentheim, they were much more comfortable with frol.i.c.k.i.n.g on open soil.

It turned out that Ves was still unaccustomed to living in space. Even though he made a decision in his mind that making his fleet his new home was for the best, he couldn’t get rid of his yearning for endless lands, open skies and natural light shining down on his head.

Despite the high population density of Veoline, the lack of pollution and extensive organic air filtration solutions meant that the air was completely fresh and natural.

It smelled completely unlike the filtered air that passed through the ventilation system of the Spirit of Bentheim. There was always a sense of falseness in the air that the Larkinsons aboard the various vessels of the fleet breathed in every day. Only those who were born and raised in sh.i.p.s like these would take the unnatural smell for granted.

"Why did you propose to alter the mech duel?" Gloriana broke the silence.

He already sensed her puzzlement. He smiled at her and gestured his head at the shuttle.

She understood what he tried to convey and kept her curiosity in check. It only took a few more minutes before they arrived at their armored shuttle. Its strange rhino bust looked as odd and out of place as ever.

Now that he understood the perspective of biotechnology adherents a bit more, he knew that the head was purely decorative in function. The rhiny-like head did not possess any functioning brain structure, so the shuttle wasn’t truly alive like his mechs.

It was only after they stepped into their vehicle that Ves explained his actions.

"To be honest, I’m eager to finish our remaining mech design projects. I know you feel the same way."

Gloriana nodded as she sat down next to him and leaned against his arm. "A normal design duel doesn’t take much time to resolve, but it is still a distraction considering our busy schedule. I really don’t want to spend too much time on this planet when our five remaining projects are way behind schedule."

The good news was that they didn’t require much time to get their projects across the finish line. They just needed to spend a few more days to put the finishing touches on the remaining mech designs before they were fit for use. The Hex Army had waited too long to receive the next batch of Hexer mechs designed by the Miracle Couple.

Ves wasn’t sure whether the three designs that they were about to hand over would succeed in reversing the losing trend. The Friday Coalition’s mech militaries had already regained all of their former territories.

It was the Hexadric Hegemony’s turn to take a beating this time! The Hexer border systems were already in the process of resisting the Fridayman counterattacks. Though they held for now, the momentum was still in the favor of the enemy due to the increasingly more impactful difference the foreign expert pilots made.

The Fridaymen may have failed to win the Battle of Reckoning, but that was due to other reasons. The superiority in number of expert mechs had taken a huge toll on the forces of the Golden Skull Alliance.

Most battles at this stage of the Komodo War did not result in an upset. The sides were too even in many aspects. This made the difference in the quantity of expert pilots a lot more influential. It only took a single push to tip the balance!

Both Ves and Gloriana were aware of the overall score, so they were both quite eager to provide relief.

There was a bit of a problem, though.

"Many of the second-class mechs we’ve designed so far are either exclusive to the Larkinson Clan or the Hexer people." Gloriana pointed out. "Your refusal to design a second-class mech for the commercial mech market means we don’t have many options to impress the group of impartial mech pilots in a month." _{freewёbnoνel.com}

Ves was still at ease. He patted Gloriana’s hand in reassurance.

"The rules of the design duel don’t prohibit customization and alteration of our existing designs. In fact, it is expected of us to do so in order to present our work at its best in the coming show. While some of our mechs such as the Transcendent Punisher, the Bright Warrior Mark II and our nearly-completed Giant Killer are solely designed to work with Larkinsons, I can still modify them so that they become more inclusive. Their glows and foundations aren’t fixed."

"Are you sure? Previously, you treated them as something sacred. You always refrained from changing the divine aspects of your mechs."

"That’s because our products should remain constant to our customers and users. Altering how they work will only result in disruptions and make our lives a lot more complicated. This is not the case this time. I already know for sure that Dr. Navarro will be taking his best mechs and modify them so that they become even better. We should do the same."

"Are you sure you can win?" Gloriana asked another question.
