The Mech Touch novel Chapter 3890

Chapter 3890 Inadequacy

Vincent Ricklin threw himself into the fight for the same reason as many of his other comrades.

He was looking for his chance today.

The opportunity to fight in a real battle wasn't exactly common. Outside of wars, only incidental encounters with hostile forces could give the mech pilots of the expeditionary fleet the opportunity to fight while putting their lives on the line!

Numerous people had already heard that the Golden Skull Alliance would be taking it easy after the conclusion of this campaign.

Though there were many mech pilots who felt relieved at the opportunity to spend a few years away from any battlefields and danger zones, they were also cognizant that long-term idling was not conducive to developing their strengths.

There was a limit to how much they could improve through training!

Even if Vincent had heard that the Larkinson Clan would make different arrangements concerning this issue, he felt a lot more pressured than ever to step up and prove himself worthy to his fellow Larkinsons!

The B-Man's glow pumped him up even further. Vincent had always felt more confident ever since Gloriana delivered his new custom mech to him. As an expert candidate and a mech pilot in the prime of his life, his opportunities were much greater than other people!

"If Imon was able to become an expert pilot, then so can I! There is no reason for me to fail!"

The chances that an expert candidate was able to advance to expert pilot was fairly high, but the amount of time it took to complete this transition was a crucial detail that many people overlooked! _{freewebnoveℓ.com}

Some only took a couple of years to reach apotheosis. Other expert candidates took as long as two to three decades, which meant they wasted their prime years in which they could have made a lot of progress in furthering their strength as expert pilots!

The saddest expert candidates of all were those that remained stuck in their halfway status for the rest of their careers!

When Vincent thought about the possibility of his body growing older and less muscular while continuing to disappoint Raella and his buddies, he felt increasingly more urgent to make the most out of this major battle!

"These fish-whales better give me the challenge I crave!"

As his B-Men approached the front of the battlefield, his mech was already contributing to the battle by firing its gauss weapons at numerous targets.

The rounds fired by his custom mech inflicted considerably more damage to the fish-whales than the energy weapons wielded by other mechs.

At first, the B-man's integrated gauss weapons kept colliding against spatial barriers. This was anything but ideal as Vincent gained no satisfaction from damaging these invisible obstacles.

The expert candidate adjusted his approach and waited until the first line of mechs and Evolvers collided against the Phasers.

"Damn, those big Evolvers are really good at breaking those spatial barriers."

With the help of all of those friendly fish-whales, the elite Phaser fish-whales became a lot more vulnerable than before!

At the very least, once they became entangled by melee attackers, the Phasers had no opportunity to focus on erecting overlapping spatial barriers anymore. The Evolvers and the human mechs didn't allow the Phasers to activate their greatest phasewater abilities!

Vincent's B-Man began to strike these targets with carefully-timed shots.

In the past, he would have picked random opponents and let loose with all of the guns at his disposal. It was only after he received Patriarch Reginald's guidance that he paid a lot more attention to his timing and target selection.

Each time a salvo struck a Phaser fish-whale, the beast inevitably jerked. If Vincent was lucky, one of his attacks managed to penetrate deep enough to damage an important organ.

However, the Phasers were so big and massive that they had too much buffer in the way. It was as if they had evolved to specifically deal with massed ranged attacks!

It took dozens of rounds just for his expert mech to fell a single elite Phaser fish-whale!

As the battle continued to heat up, Vincent barely felt any satisfaction from the results he accomplished so far. He felt too detached from the action as his B-Man stayed behind and provided moderate fire support.

Sure, his efforts were not in vain. He managed to save numerous mechs from getting bitten or thrashed by the giant Phaser fish-whales. He was making a real difference in the battle, yet in his heart, he felt as if he was having it far too easy.

He glanced towards the Swordmaiden mechs that cleverly pounced on vulnerable and distracted Phaser fish-whales.

He took a deep look towards the center of the battlefield. His mentor and role model was the only mech pilot who had the guts to intervene in the titanic clash between two powerful king fishes!

Vincent looked on admiringly as the Bolvos Rage boldly hacked its heavy saber against the Phase King!

Patriarch Reginald could have adopted the same approach as Vincent and kept his expert hybrid mech at a distance, but the powerful expert pilot chose a different path, one that emphasized maximum aggression!

Not every hybrid mech pilot preferred to fight up close, but those who did so often turned into fearsome combatants!

Though the B-Man never stopped firing at targets of opportunity, Vincent's attention was no longer directed towards the battlefield.

He started to think about his approach towards fighting.

This was hardly the place and time for a mech pilot to become absentminded, but the Phaser fish-whales were far too busy to care about a single hybrid mech firing at them from a distance.

While it was difficult for human opponents to ignore the B-Man's muscular appearance and dazzling white-and-gold coating, the fish-whale race possessed completely different aesthetic tastes!

This granted Vincent enough room for him to do something extremely rare for someone with his air of confidence.

He began to reflect on himself.

"Is this how I should fight?"

His journey as a mech pilot was much more irregular than the majority of the clansmen serving in the mech legions.
