The Mech Touch novel Chapter 4266

The struggle at the center of the battlefield was one of the more important contention points of this massive battle.

Winning the flanks didn't necessarily mean anything if the enemies at the center managed to break through in the middle!

While the Pima Defenders clearly did not possess any inclination to lead any charges, that did not mean its offensive power was lacking.

The formidable defenses of its heavy mechs granted them enormous pushing power. They could slowly lead a counterattack just by advancing the battle lines at a slow and steady pace.

This was why General Verle handed over the responsibility of breaking the backs of this amazingly resilient mech division to the Avatars of Myth.

So far, Ves was mildly satisfied with the performance of his mechs. It was beautiful to see that the ideas he realized with great effort finally bore fruit in their first real test on the battlefield.

"The modularization of the Bright Warrior Mark II is not a mistake." Ves concluded. "The mech pilots are clearly having a good time and their fighting spirit has reached a new peak."

As a mech designer, it was important to pay attention to customer satisfaction. Ves kept track of various indicators to analyze whether the Bright Warrior Mark II's allowed the mech pilots to maximize or inhibit their combat potential.

He had seen no cases of the latter so far. The Avatars were thorough in this regard and never assigned their mech pilots to the wrong mechs.

"Their mech pilots are also performing particularly well."

Whether they were veterans or recent recruits, every Avatar mech pilot not only possessed impeccable skill, but also exhibited a particularly deep mastery of their machines!

The MSTS developed by Ves and the deep exchange technology developed by Hempkamp certainly played a significant role, but it was the Avatars themselves that also put in extra effort.

Through the invocation technique originally developed by the Avatars themselves in a botched attempt to create their own battle formation, their mech pilots all 'invoked' different design spirits, thereby allowing them to get affected by different moods that could all play a useful role on the battlefield!

"For the clan!"

By default, the Avatars liked to invoke the Golden Cat. Not only did she have access to the collective piloting skills of the entire Larkinson Clan, her aura also united the clansmen.

Other design spirits were also helpful under different circumstances. For example, pilots of the Sword Warriors tended to invoke Zeigra for aggression while the pilots of the Knight Warriors mostly begged for support from Qilanxo.

"It's a pity that all of the glows at their disposal can't change the fact that they can't make those HiCap energy shields deplete faster." Ves sighed.

As Ves saw more and more Bright Warrior Mark II's getting stalled by the intractable defenses of the Pima Defender mechs, it was clear that the new standard mech model of the Larkinson Army still showcased the same deficiencies as before.

Even with all of the modularization options, the fact of the matter was that it was almost impossible for the Bright Warrior Mark II to outperform other specialized mech models in their areas of specialties.

For example, all of the Sword Warriors that carried all kinds of heavy swords, heavy sabers and other weapons suitable for fighting against heavy mechs could not exceed the Redaxe when it came to armor-breaking capabilities!

The Avatars compensated for this as best as possible by employing creative loadouts that served to confuse, disorient and divide the Pima Defender mechs, but when it came to hard power, the Bright Warriors clearly showed deficiencies.

"Well, this is still within my expectation."

The only real shortcoming of the Avatar of Myth in this battle was that it lacked a powerful way to break powerful energy shields up close.

Ranged support became more and more necessary to grind down the tough HiCap energy shields that protected the majority of the mech models employed by the Pima Defenders.

"It would have been great if I could come up with the melee equivalent of a luminar crystal rifle." Ves idly thought.

The idea sounded silly. Luminar crystal weapons were meant to generate powerful energy beams that could be launched at distant targets.

They were never supposed to be swung around like clubs!

Still, after thinking about it further, it was not that unrealistic to create a luminar crystal that would withstand the rigors of melee combat.

Ves would probably have to invest a lot of expensive materials to make such a hard crystal, but he could easily envision a future where he might be able to design a melee mech that wielded a luminar crystal sword or a luminar crystal hammer one day!

He could already imagine it now. It would have been perfect if a melee mech came up and swung a luminar crystal weapon that was charged with disruptor energy against a hardy heavy space knight like the Modal Firmament!

"I should explore this idea further after I have time."

Ves felt more and more vindicated for participating in this battle. He not only noticed many shortcomings of his existing work, but also gained a lot of inspiration for potential new mech design projects.

He missed this experience. It had been far too long since he had last sent his troops into battle against a formidable opponent. The paltry battle records brought back by Larkinsons who completed mercenary missions simply couldn't compare to the true challenges that their mech in a real battle!

After noting all of the possible areas of improvement of the Bright Warrior Mark II, Ves shifted his analytical gaze to the other mechs of the Avatars.

The Redaxe was one of the main players in the battle at the center. The powerful axeman mechs designed by Tifi, Sara and Ves a few years ago not only exhibited a lot of power, but also a lot of aggression!

Spurred on by Zeigra's aggressive aura, the Redaxes not only inflicted heavy damage to the HiCap energy shields of their opponents, but never failed to split apart the tough and resilient armor of the enemy heavy mechs once they lost their primary form of defense!

Ves was particularly satisfied with the Redaxe's ability to inflict heavy kinetic damage to armored targets.

The premise of the Lucid Rage was simple. It was a melee mech that sought to transform the well-known combination between Zeigra and Lufa into a positive influence. _{fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm}
