The Mech Touch novel Chapter 4131

Chapter 4131 A Strong Mech

The mechers still took a fair amount of time to complete their comprehensive examination of the Mars.

On the one hand, Ves felt happy that the people who appreciated mechs the most were so fascinated by his latest collaborative work.

On the other hand, he grew annoyed that it would take more time for the Mars to deploy for the first time.

That was not to say that Ves and the others did nothing throughout the inspection. Master Amphi Helecos regularly called them up in order to provide technical answers about their design choices or their latest innovations.

The questions made it clear that the mechers were genuinely interested in several different aspects of the Mars.

Once Master Amphi finally satisfied her extensive curiosity, she finally permitted the Cross Clan to proceed with the test.

It was as if the mechers were in charge of this session.

"Are you ready, Reginald?"

"I have always been ready." The powerful expert pilot seemed to have come awake at the news. The Cross Patriarch had been conserving his energy for the entire day. "I knew my time would eventually. No one can deny me from my new expert mech."

The Mars was an enviously strong machine. It featured the latest tech and more phasewater than most organizations had in their possession. All of the wealth and power put into its frame had produced a combination that also happened to turn into a masterwork mech.

Given all of these attractions, Ves found it admirable that Patriarch Reginald displayed enough control to hold back his desire to pilot his new machine right away!

The man's formidable force of will became more active as he rose to his feet. He looked up at his waiting expert mech with an intense stare.

Ves had the illusion that the two were already resonating with each other despite being separated by a moderate distance.

As Reginald's suited form began to lift from the hangar bay floor, Ves issued a warning.

"Ah, I almost forgot. When you interface with the Mars, be careful. While it is already obvious that the mech is different from the ones we made before, it is a little more special in that it already has a developed personality."

"I know." Reginald gruffly said.

"I designed the Mars to be a more adversarial partner to you. Don't expect it to roll over for you. It will not only challenge you, but resist you if you cannot come to a consensus with it. Don't get taken by surprise by this. I hope you can find a way to cooperate with your new mech."

"Hmph. Understood."

Reginald continued his approach until he reached the opening of the cockpit. He took one last look at the exterior of his pride and joy and admired its aggressive, martial appearance up close.

The fiery red coating, the streamlined martial motifs and the crested helmet that was capable of projecting a red plume all turned the Mars into a facsimile of its mythological namesake.

The expert pilot knew that as long as he entered the cockpit, he would gain his greatest chance of getting closer to becoming the war god that he had always fantasized about.

"Father…" Reginald gently held the thick cross that was hanging from his neck. "From today onwards, I will no longer look up to you again. If you were still alive, I would force you to start looking up to me after this day has passed."

After issuing this extremely arrogant-sounding declaration, Reginald decisively entered the cockpit and took his seat!

Meanwhile, Ves had retreated to one of the observation rooms aboard the Hemmington Cross. Professor Benedict and the other mech designers were already standing behind their work stations. Each of them had received the news as well.

"Is everything ready?" Ves asked.

Benedict nodded. "Everything should be in place. I have received word from your clan that their expert mechs are deploying into space within a minute."

"Good, though we aren't in a hurry to conduct live combat tests. Our expert mechs don't need to be in a hurry."

"The pilots just want to see the Mars in person." Gloriana remarked. "Can you blame them for wanting to take a closer look?"

No one in the Golden Skull Alliance was more curious about the performance of the Cross Clan's flagship mech than the ones who would be fighting alongside it in the future.

The Larkinson expert pilots were all proud of their own mechs. Who could blame them? Each of them were works of art and many of them happened to be masterworks!

However, their stars would soon be eclipsed by an even greater celestial body from now onwards. There was no way that any of the Larkinson expert mechs could surpass the Mars on any front, at least with their current designs!

Due to the need to leave a few expert mechs behind in Davute, the Larkinsons eventually deployed their first seven ones into the field this time.

This meant that the C-man was conspicuously absent, saving Venerable Vincent from suffering another awful bruise to his ego.

In any case, a lineup that consisted of the Dark Zephyr, the Amaranto, the Riot, the First Sword, the Shield of Samar, the Everchanger and most interestingly the Minerva was a powerful force on any battlefield!

Each of their expert pilots had seen combat and many of them had made notable gains even after the expeditionary fleet had settled in Davute.

Yet none of them were able to get close to Patriarch Reginald in terms of resonance strength, combat experience and many other factors.

The gap between them was still as wide as ever, and it might turn even into a greater gulf after today!

"Let's just hope Reginald will allow us to retain our dignity this time." Venerable Joshua hoped.

Back inside the Hemmington Cross, a pair of Crossers mechs carefully towed the dormant Mars out of the hangar bay and into open space.

The initial activation of any expert mech could be an explosive event, and many people expected the Mars to produce an even greater spectacle this time!

As such, everyone patiently waited until the towing mechs brought the Mars far enough away to avoid accidentally harming any nearby mechs and starships.

Once the mech designers confirmed that everything was still in order, Patriarch Reginald finally received the greenlight to start.
