The Mech Touch novel Chapter 4458

The extravagant seventh, eight and ninth layer of energy shields looked extremely foolish at this moment.

For all of their efforts to contain the six ace mechs that had flamboyantly taken action earlier, they were utterly incapable of preventing the Jedda Sandivar from approaching the surface of the orven battleship's hull.

It turned out that while both the humans and aliens had paid close attention to the high-profile ace mechs, the Jedda Sandivar had deliberately adopted a low profile.

By hiding inside the smoke cloud generated by its Saint Kingdom, the ace light skirmisher was able to move around without anyone able to determine its coordinates.

Saint Marissa Lewandowski cleverly took advantage of this trait and snuck her small and slim ace light skirmisher through all of the gaps that had formed in the first, second and third layer of energy shields.

These gaps had appeared when the orven battleship hastily tried to plug the breach by forming the fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eight, and ninth layers of energy shields!

Each bowl-shaped layer that was meant to contain the ace mechs was successively larger than the previous layer.

Perhaps that might not sound like much at the beginning, but the V'gahnt-Zezne had to draw away a lot of segmented energy shields after forming so many emergency layers!

This had given the Jedda Sandivar a great opportunity to sneak through the defensive envelope of the battleship through a different channel.

The problem was that the battleship did not conveniently create gaps through all three layers at the same spot.

It attempted to minimize the chances of something dangerous getting through as much as possible by taking away the energy scales from many different positions.

If any mech wanted to squeeze through all three layers in succession, then it needed to fly through the narrow space between the layers at least twice before it could get inside the defensive envelope.

This was nearly impossible to accomplish, but the Jedda Sandivar managed to do it! The ace mech did so by taking advantage of its small and narrow profile to fly through the narrow space of the active layers.

Although the orvens had tried their best to minimize this dead space as much as possible, the energy shield generators were not capable of pressing the layers any closer to each other due to technical reasons. The sandwiched energy shields would interfere with each other's operations and cancel each other out if they were close to touching each other!

As it was, the Jedda Sandivar successfully squeezed through all of the narrow spaces like a mouse scurrying through a maze and reached the other side without immediately alerting the orvens!

In fact, there was a large chance the Jedda Sandivar might not have been able to pass through all three main layers at once.

The controllers of the V'gahnt-Zezne's defensive systems had tried to be as clever as possible and mainly redirected the energy scales from the first and second layers.

They treated the third layer as a final guarantee and tried to touch it as little as possible.

The problem was that the impulsive decision to create a seventh, eight and ninth layer of energy shields drew away far too many segmented energy shields!

It wasn't even possible to form a complete envelopment with these new layers unless the battleship stripped extra energy scales from the third layer.

This was how a few crucial gaps had opened up in the third and most crucial layer. Though they were positioned far away from the gaps of the second layer, the Jedda Sandivar moved with great speed despite trying to maintain its low profile!

As such, the ace light skirmisher finally managed to succeed where all of the other six ace mechs had failed.

"It turns out that the ace mechs that tried to break past all of the energy shields served as a distraction. If the alien battleship turned out to possess way more than three layers, then the machines had to create as much of a commotion as possible in order to attract the attention of the aliens."

They succeeded. The Embodiment of Love, the Embodiment of Sacrifice, the Mars, the Thunderer Mark II, The Infinite Gear and the Royal Jeem had all done their utmost to generate as much threat as possible.

Though they had all come close to breaching through six layers of energy shields in a row, ultimately the ace pilots had already taken into account that they might not be the heroes of this moment.

They instead adopted the role of sidekicks, all for the sake of allowing one of their number to pass through unnoticed!

Now that everyone could see that the Jedda Sandivar had moved much closer to the hull of the V'gahnt-Zezne than any other human mech, everyone suddenly gained a lot of confidence that the beast could be felled!

"Watch out, Lewandowski! Those plasma cannons are about to fire!"

The Jedda Sandivar immediately conjured up an enormous smoke cloud within the confines of its Saint Kingdom.

The Mars, the Infinite Gear and the Royal Jeem safely retreated from the gap they had just made before the primary plasma cannons finally unleashed their awesome might.

Several gigantic plasma bolts swept through the prior positions of the aforementioned ace mechs.

Several more plasma bolts swept inside the smoke cloud where the Jedda Sandivar had taken shelter in, but they passed through without any indication that they had struck a mech.

The ace light skirmisher was simply too difficult to hit when it was trying its best to evade damage!

Saint Lewandowski hardly experienced any difficulty at all in approaching the surface of the hull.

The V'gahnt-Zezne had shown incredible defensive capabilities. Her ability to reposition her energy scales to form temporary new layers was an excellent way to prevent an opposing warship from punching through her original three layers of energy shields.

It was an advanced defensive solution that was highly effective in battles against other natives of the Red Ocean!

Yet when employed against a bunch of human ace mechs, the V'gahnt-Zezne's most powerful defensives ultimately proved to be flawed.

Now, the reckoning had come. The flagship of the Unspoken pirate group had threatened and frustrated the humans long enough. It was time for the Jedda Sandivar to show what it could do to a formidable armed capital ship when it had reached the exterior of the mighty vessel!

Many of the secondary and tertiary gun batteries had formed a dense and inescapable net of physical and energy attacks along the hull.
