The Mech Touch novel Chapter 4260

Ves grinned widely as he continued to sit in the observer's seat in the Spirit of Bentheim's bridge.

Though Venerable Tusa had gone through a few twists and turns, he successfully proved his combat prowess and achieved the admirable feat of defeating two formidable expert mechs by himself!

The significance of this victory couldn't be overstated. By handling the threat of Dukes of Hawkes without any backup, a lot of other expert pilots were able to handle the other champions of the Sundered Phalanx without getting outnumbered.

Not every bout between expert mechs progressed favorably to the Hexers and the Golden Skullers.

The Hex Army particularly fell into a disadvantage during this battle. The dynasties of the Hex Federation had sent out too many low-tier expert mechs that were piloted by expert pilots that had only broken through during the Komodo War.

There was nothing wrong with their skills and their expert mechs weren't too bad, but the Gauge Dynasty had dispatched a higher proportion of older and much more experienced expert pilots to Pima Prime.

In fact, the Gauge Dynasty also sent plenty of younger war veterans to the Red Ocean, but the local leaders had concentrated the stronger ones in Pima Prime, as it just so happened to be the star system where they were stationed in as well!

Due to this subtle difference, multiple Hexer expert mechs already incurred considerable damage.

Naturally, there were also situations where the expert mechs of the Hex Army and the Golden Skull Alliance gained advantages over their opponents.

This way, neither side possessed any clear advantages. The Dark Zephyr may have secured a powerful advantage at the right flank, but it would take time for Tusa's personal victory to cascade into other advantages on the battlefield.

"There is so much going on that I can't pay attention to everything that is interesting." Ves softly complained to himself.

"Meow." Lucky responded.

"Hey, that's a good idea, actually. Why didn't I think of that before?!"

Ves concentrated for a moment before Blinky emerged out of his head.

Mrow!

The Star Cat shook as if he had just woken up from a nap. After lapping at his fur for a few seconds, Blinky lazily floated besides Lucky and settled down in the air to observe the projected live feeds of the battlefield.

Though Ves found it a bit weird to track two different parts of the battlefield at once through his own eyes and the eyes of his companion spirit, he slowly got used to this new mode of observation.

Blinky pretty much functioned as a split personality to Ves, so it shouldn't be that much of a problem for him to maintain two trains of thoughts at the same time.

His efficiency in analyzing battle scenarios had dropped, but Ves got much more done in the same amount of time.

"You might as well come out and enjoy the show as well, Vulcan."

An incorporeal dwarf wearing modern dwarven armor emerged from the Hammer of Brilliance.

The gruff, bearded design spirit sat down on an invisible seat and fully showcased the parallel thinking process of a pre-divinity by tracking over a dozen different live feeds at the same time!

Of course, Ves himself wasn't able to process that much action at all. Vulcan merely kept track of everything and notified his principal whenever something noteworthy took place.

It turned out that a lot of interesting clashes had begun at the center of the battlefield.

The melee mech units from both sides had finally collided against each other!

Large numbers of mechs organized in mech divisions, mech regiments and smaller organizational units adopted all kinds of formations as they systematically tried to fulfill their respective roles.

Different mech designs and different mech doctrines violently tested themselves against each other. It was only on the battlefield where the works of Ves and many other designers truly proved their worth!

Ves initially focused his attention on the most basic mech of the Larkinson Clan, which was the humble Bright Warrior.

Of all of the older mech models that he had updated in recent years, the Bright Warrior Mark II Version B was definitely one that challenged him more than any of the other ones.

This was because upgrade projects such as the Transcendent Punisher Mark II and the Ferocious Piranha Mark III did not really change the essence or the fundamental concept of their designs.

Both of them fought them in the same way, but possessed much better specs due to replacing their older parts with newer ones made out of superior tech and materials.

Ves hadn't been satisfied with repeating this approach for the successor of the old Bright Warrior.

The original third-class version of the Bright Warrior had provided a stellar boost to the early Larkinson Clan.

The use of Breyer alloy which was much better than any other material that Ves could obtain at the time allowed Ves to equip his troops with crucial trump cards that could crush other ordinary third-class mechs in battle.

The original meaning of the Bright Warrior got a little lost after the Larkinson Clan transitioned into a second-class organization.

Breyer alloy no longer provided a substantial advantage over the enemies of the clan. Ves and Gloriana had therefore chosen to reorient the Bright Warrior concept around its modularity and its impressive compatibility with many different mech pilots.

"It's a good concept, but it has become a lot less special, especially as we developed newer and better mechs."

It was easy to decide to develop a straightforward updated edition of the Bright Warrior, but Ves did not want his first true mech line designed for the Larkinson Clan to turn into a boring and generic starter mech.

He recalled that he had puzzled so much over this issue at this time that he had eventually called up the Larkinson Mandate.

"Goldie. Do you have any ideas on how I should reinterpret the Bright Warrior?"

A beautiful Golden Cat emerged from the heavy tome and pressed her head against Ves in a friendly and affectionate greeting.
