The Mech Touch novel Chapter 4870

As Ves and Juliet fixed up their mechs so that they could fight once again, Bobby Orwell and Lizzie Cado reviewed their performance in their past matches and figured out better ways to use the Sensia and Furia in combat.

All of their efforts produced great results.

The Twin Souls possessed significant advantages over most of the other competition mechs. Their designs were more sound while the physical frames were well put together.

At the level of competition in the Twin Weapons Tournament, these technical advantages translated to slight advantages in speed, defense, shock absorption, reaction speed, range of motion, balancing, firepower, mechanical strength and more.

Team Larkinson also had another advantage that became increasingly evident as it advanced into the later rounds

Its mechs were always in better shape than that of their opponents!

The delay between the rounds had dropped considerably. Only 9 matches were held during the third round and only 4 fights took place during the fourth round.

This mechanism rewarded teams whose mechs were stronger. After all, in theory the greater the disparity in performance, the less damage the winning side incurred.

Less damage meant that the mech designers needed less time to fix up their mechs!

This became a lot more evident during the third round.

When Team Larkinson matched up against Team Polter, the mechs presented by the latter made for an unusual combination!

It appeared that Team Polter had spent all of their time on fixing up their striker mech, which was armed with a shotgun that was larger and more powerful than the one held by the Furia.

The dedicated striker mech also carried a lot more shells, allowing it to fire its formidable weapon a lot more times without worrying about running dry!

Team Polter's light skirmisher on the other hand looked as if it had run through a battlefield and only received patches on its largest holes.

The mech designers could have repaired their damaged light skirmisher to its peak condition, but they chose not to because they needed to ration their time.

The results of their decisions became evident.

Team Polter's mechs started out strong. The striker mech immediately managed to blast the Sensia, causing the light skirmisher to get struck by an uncomfortable amount of pellets.

Bobby Orwell did not delay and immediately fired the Furia's complement of smoke and EM missiles.

However, their effect was surprisingly small!

It turned out that Team Polter had made targeted modifications to their mechs to shield their sensor systems and other vulnerable systems from disruption!

Aside from that, the striker mech that got caught in the middle of the smoke cloud had begun to move away as quickly as possible before anything else happened.

This forced the Twin Souls to fight against the mechs of Team Polter in a more straightforward clash.

The striker mech was clearly the biggest threat to the Larkinson machines. The Sensia was especially vulnerable to its shotgun as it was a direct counter to all light mechs!

However, neither Bobby nor Lizzie concerned themselves too much with the striker mech at first.

"Take out the light skirmisher first!"

While the enemy striker mech tried its best to blast the Sensia to pieces, the Furia unloaded all of its firepower towards the opposing light skirmisher!

The Polter light mech tried its best to evade the incoming laser beams and shotgun attacks. It also did its best to use the striker mech as cover, but with the Sensia circling around to pressure it from another direction, it became more difficult to maintain this strategy!

Eventually, the Furia managed to strike the legs of the damaged enemy light skirmisher, causing it to fumble at a critical moment!

Lizzie Cado immediately spotted an opening and dashed her Sensia forward!

A single knife punched through the thin covering material on the center of the opposing light skirmisher's chest. It proceeded to cut through a number of key components, causing the faltering machine to lose a lot of power all of a sudden! _{ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom}

The rest of the match did not last too long after that. Once Team Polter's light skirmisher had been taken out of action before a minute had passed, the Twin Souls immediately utilized a classic pincer maneuver to terrorize the surviving striker mech.

The well-armored but sluggish machine only managed to fire its shotgun at the Furia a few times before the daggers stabbing into its back finally caused it to shut down as well!
