The Mech Touch novel Chapter 4446

The decisions made by the alien pirate groups made a lot more sense after the human coalition discovered that enemy reinforcements were on the way.

No one knew who originally created the Palace of Shame, but it had to be a powerful group or faction among the alien community.

Ves was thinking back on what the orven prisoners had told him when he interrogated them all. Each of them shared numerous pieces of hearsay that suggested that the Palace of Shame had always been supported by hidden backers.

He even recalled an instance where one of the alien crew members claimed to have witnessed a clandestine meeting between the Unspoken and an actual phase whale!

Though Ves had no idea if the reinforcements comprised of one or more phase whales, he had to admit that it made the most sense out of all of the possibilities!

Most of the aliens that previously occupied the territories that encompassed the Krakatoa Middle Zone and the Zelmar Upper Zone had long packed up their bags and left before the scourge of humanity could arrive.

The aliens that couldn't leave had mostly been wiped out or reduced to the point where they no longer posed a significant threat to human pioneers.

It was far too improbable that the orvens, the nunsers or the puelmers had left any powerful warships behind.

Only the phase whales remained too elusive for most humans to catch. Their mastery of phasewater and spatial technology meant that they could easily hide in pocket spaces for long periods of time.

Ves wasn't sure whether he should share this possibility to everyone. They might lose a lot of confidence if they learned that a phase whale may be inbound to their location.

Then again, he may be wrong. The phase whales weren't too numerous to begin with and it was rare to encounter any of them throughout the Red Ocean.

It may be that the reinforcements might comprise a different alien race that none of the human pioneering groups had ever encountered before.

The aliens had buried a lot of secrets in the Red Ocean over the eons. It would be a mistake for Ves to only take the known alien races and what he knew about the region into account.

This was the danger of making assumptions. They could occasionally lead people astray.

In any case, as soon as everyone learned that they were pressed for time, they increased their efforts and worked harder to defeat their opposition!

The fight had become incredibly hot now that the distances had narrowed.

Though the seven ace mechs of the human coalition were doing a great job at occupying and reducing the number of alien warships, the other mechs were all doing their best to defeat the remaining alien forces.

Many different mechs and mech units distinguished themselves today.

Commander Taon Melin and his fellow soldiers of the Eye of Ylvaine played a key role in suppressing the opposing starfighters and wearing down the defenses of the enemy warships.

"Don't waste your attacks on the cannon fodder." The expert candidate and legion commander instructed his subordinates. "The other mech legions that handle the weaker small craft. Do your best to limit the movements of the elite starfighters and prevent them from going any further forward. Also make sure to weaken the energy shields of the opposing warships. We do not need to attack them any further once their hulls are exposed. The other mech legions can take care of the rest."

The humans involved in this battle gradually figured out that the aliens they were fighting against all liked to depend on transphasic energy shields as their main form of defense.

The transphasic segmented energy shields were highly effective at withstanding attacks that weren't transphasic in nature, especially if they were able to spin and rotate like a mono-colored disco ball.

The amount of phasewater needed to make an energy shield generator transphasic was much less than cladding an entire warship with transphasic hull plating!

The only upside to the defensive habits of the indigenous aliens was that their warships were much easier to damage once they lost their main form of protection.

The Transcendent Punishers therefore played a key role in wearing down the energy shields of the alien warships. Their volume of fire was far greater than any other standard mech in the Larkinson Army.

Although the Eye of Ylvaine was mostly known for its heavy artillery mechs, the mech legion was no longer solely confined to shooting matches.

As soon as the alien starfighters started to get close enough, the Transcendent Chargers finally had the chance to fight on their own terms!

The lancer mechs readily discarded their spare luminar crystal rifles and began to pick up their lances while building up their momentum.

Just as with their artillery counterparts, it wasn't worth it for them to target the weaker small craft.

"Aim for the heavier and slower gunships. They are stronger but much less maneuverable than the other starfighters."

The gunships employed by the alien pirate groups varied considerably in design, but the ones that were fighting against the Golden Skull Alliance tended to be two-seaters.

Two different alien pilots were needed to control the various systems of the gunship. Since one of them could fully concentrate on maneuvering and defenses while the other could concentrate on attacking and auxiliary measures, the performance of the gunships was always good!

What was more concerning was that every gunship carried its own energy shield generator, allowing them to withstand a lot of attacks before they finally became vulnerable.

It took far too many attacks from ordinary mechs to break open their energy shells. Not even the Transcendent Punishers wanted to target them because of how few gunships they could destroy in the same amount of time they could wipe out a swathe of smaller starfighters!

"Come on! We're almost there. Ylvaine has shown us the way, so ready your lances and pierce their energy shields!"

"For Ylvaine!"

"For the clan!"

The Transcendent Chargers built up a lot of momentum after a time, but not too much.
