The Mech Touch novel Chapter 4400

The day had arrived faster than Ves expected.

Time flew by as Ves and his wife returned to their grand stateroom and took care of their children.

Neither of them spent any time thinking about their latest work or the preparations they needed to make for the upcoming testing session.

Their work might be their passion, but their children were their legacy!

"I missed you, mama!"

"Look at what I learned in school, papa!"

A quiet evening passed.

As Ves and Gloriana readied themselves for the next day, they inspected the new Instrument of Doom while supervising the preparation work for the upcoming testing session.

The two did not plan to conduct an exhaustive demonstration this time because the Phase King needed to lend his strength to amplify every full-powered attack.

It was fine if the Amaranto only fired its new weapon a couple of times, but the Phase King would definitely have to dip into its reserves if the Instrument of Doom kept spitting one energy beam after another!

The Phase King needed to save up his resources for future battles where every shot counted.

Once the expeditionary fleet dropped out of FTL travel and ended up in a quiet and empty star system, the Golden Skull Alliance performed its usual routine.

Their current objective was to find Lord Pearian Yorul-Tavik or any clues related to him, so the Golden Skullers needed to make a serious effort into their search. _{freewebnσvel.cøm}

Numerous speedy combat carriers split away from the combined fleet and headed to the inner system in order to scan the local planets and moons for any crash sites or other artificial traces.

The chance of encountering anything of note was slim to none, but Ves didn't really care about that. He could have told everyone that there was no need to perform such an exhaustive and time-consuming search when good ol' Ylvaine could act as their compass.

Ves had yet to ask Ylvaine for the precise coordinates of the missing first-class lordling. The distance between the expeditionary fleet and the man that everyone was searching for was still a bit too large at this time.

The only solid piece of news that Ylvaine provided was that the man was still alive. That was enough for the Golden Skull Alliance to stick to its current plan.

If nothing went wrong, the expeditionary fleet would gradually meander closer and closer to Lord Pearian Yorul-Tavik's location.

Once Ves thought that his clan had stuck around long enough, he intended to obtain a definite answer from Ylvaine and retrieve the mission objective as soon as possible!

Waiting until the expeditionary fleet came a lot closer to the scion of the Yorul-Tavik would make it a lot less costly for Ylvaine to obtain the man's precise coordinates!

In fact, Ylvaine was already capable of helping the expeditionary fleet approach the man's location without expending a lot of energy.

Knowing how much energy and effort it took to divine Lord Pearian's whereabouts made it possible to utilize a hot-and-cold approach to triangulate his position.

Ves had already tasked the Black Cats to keep track of this data in the hopes that they could infer the direction and distance between the expeditionary fleet and their target.

Hopefully, Lord Pearian had ended up on the Krakatoa side of the border.

If the man crashed on the Zelmar side of the border instead, then the risks of retrieving him were vastly greater.

This was because the chance of encountering a first-class pioneering fleet was too great!

"I hope we won't end up wasting our time."

Right now, he was more interested in testing his new weapon.

As soon as it became clear that it was unlikely that there were other human forces in the star system, the expeditionary fleet approached an asteroid belt that provided plenty of cheap targets for the Amaranto.

Larkinsons set up the testing session by completing various tasks.

They deployed sensor arrays that could record the power and effects of the upcoming attacks.

They deployed jamming devices around the testing site that could prevent any third-party listening devices from capturing any useful data.

They also performed deep scans on all of the asteroids marked for destruction in order to understand their density and material composition.

Figuring this out was crucial to gaining a more thorough understanding of how extensively the Instrument of Doom was able to threaten large targets!

"Alright, Venerable Stark. We have set everything up. It's time for your mech to get into place. Please launch the Amaranto and move to the supplied coordinates."

"Understood."

Venerable Stark closed her eyes and felt out her expert mech.

The powerful third order living mech might not be as talkative as the others of its kind, but it had a deep and trusting relationship with its pilot.

Both Davia and the Amaranto were eager to learn how extensively the new weapon could change the equation.

Their performance during the Battle of Pima Prime had disappointed them both. They should have suppressed the Sundered Phalanx with their firepower, but instead ended up in a mutual suppression battle against a powerful high-tier expert mech.

Though the pilot and mech had played their part in preventing the Star of Liberation from threatening their comrades, they weren't exactly happy with being relegated to the background.

Venerable Davia clenched her hand into a fist. "If I want to enact retribution, then I need to do more. I only have less than a century left to acquire the strength I need to fulfill my remaining life's purpose."

Her burning motivation and conviction drove her to perform the best she could for this initial testing session.

The Instrument of Doom cannon was a gift and an investment from the Larkinson Clan.

If Venerable Davia couldn't harness the power of this powerful new blessed weapon, then she would not be able to receive as many upgrades and other goodies from the patriarch!

She knew quite well that she maintained a transactional relationship with the Larkinson Clan. Everything would remain fine as long as she was stronger and more effective in battle than any Larkinson expert pilot.
