The Mech Touch novel Chapter 3316

Chapter 3316: Light Repercussions

The anomalous event that knocked out half of the clansmen in the Larkinson fleet could not be hidden!

The shocking event had even triggered the highest level alert, causing the Larkinsons who were still awake to assume their battle stations and act as if they were under heavy attack!

Thousands of mechs housed in ships that were stationed away from the Blinding Banshee disgorged into space and began to sweep the nearby areas for any threats.

The spontaneous activity also alarmed other organizations. The Glory Seekers, Cross Clan and the numerous mercenary fleets that were hired to protect the expeditionary fleet scrambled their mechs as well!

It took an entire hour for the confusion to die down. The Larkinsons who had been rendered unconscious by an unexplainable event eventually woke up and found they did not suffer any further maladies.

Systems were being checked and spaces were being swept, but the befuddled clansmen found nothing suspicious.

In fact, many Larkinsons already had an answer in their heart. The old timers who had been with the clan since the early days didn't even need to make any further guesses.

"It's the patriarch again."

"Weird things happen whenever he does something big."

"Just ignore it and move on. Stuff like this takes place every tuesday."

After experiencing so many odd shenanigans, the Larkinsons developed a tolerance for anomalies. In any case, getting hit by an invisible blast that robbed them of their consciousness was hardly more astounding than fighting against illegal warships or supposed dark gods.

Some Larkinsons even speculated that their patriarch had developed a new superweapon!

It was not hard to figure out the origin point of the strange event. Since it propagated like an expanded sphere, the potency of the strange effect was subject to the inverse-square law.

The people situated closer to the Blinding Banshee slept the longest. Those who were positioned further away only got a light tap. At a certain distance, the strange blast wave no longer possessed the strength to knock out anyone! _{free𝑤ebnovel.com}

Of course, once the clansmen figured out the origin point, they attempted to board the Blinding Banshee which had fallen silent. The leaders of the clan still held a lot of concerns. What had happened on the capital ship?

"It's fine! Everything is okay here!" Ves spoke to General Verle over the comm. "It's all on me this time. I don't want anyone else poking around in the Blinding Banshee. The Black Cats can take care of themselves."

"Ves…" General Verle gritted his teeth.

It was no surprise that he was upset with this situation. No one had any warning that this might happen. The least Ves could do was to warn him and other important clan leaders in advance!

Since they were talking on a remote channel, Ves didn't dare say too much. The general understood this concern as well so he did not waste any further time on attempting to pry more information.

Having dealt with Ves for a long time, he knew that the clan patriarch would only divulge information if it was useful to do so. As someone who came from an intelligence background himself, the general was used to remaining in the dark.

"I will do my best to cooperate with others to clean up your mess." General Verle said. "You don't need to supply any answers. Even if people have questions, nothing will come out of it if there are no further disturbances."

"Don't worry." Ves smiled at the man's unspoken question. "I'm pretty sure we won't suffer a repeat of the earlier incident."

"Fine. Take care and don't do anything drastic."

Ves had to spend more time than he thought to handle much of the repercussions. He was already weary and exhausted from his earlier ordeal, but he had no choice but to keep talking to different people in order to prevent them from bursting into the cargo bay and noticing anything untowards!

While that happened, he commanded various bots to clean up the mess his creation process had generated. The entire middle of the cargo had turned into a charnel house as the headless bodies of hundreds of dwarves were soaked in blood, shredded brains and fragments of skull matter.

Anyone stepping into this compartment would probably have nightmares once they laid their eyes on this horrible sight!

Ves places his hands on his hips. "A couple of cleaning bots aren't enough to remove this mess."

Considering how bad it would be if anyone found out what happened here, Ves had already anticipated that he might have to resort to extreme measures.

It was for that reason that he employed bots armed with flamethrowers to burn everything!

Everything in the cargo bay was being scoured by hot and purifying flame! Every single piece of biological remains were instantly burned to such an extent that even the deck began to melt to an extent!

Once Calabast woke up, she also assisted with the cleanup. She employed special solutions to sanitize and purify every single cell, compartment and corridor where the secret dwarven captives had been housed. Not a single hair follicle or dead skin cell was allowed to remain intact in case investigators came to search the Blinding Banshee!
