The Mech Touch novel Chapter 5370

Chapter 5370 The Fourth Armada

The Army of One and the Huntsman synergized even better with each other than their current adversaries.

One of them spread his strength across many different autonomous units while the other concentrated all of his power into his devastating spear attacks!

Both of them were highly admirable in their own right.

The Army of One was the idol of every serious mech commander.

The way in which Divine Jean Talos was able to grant the power of a god to a huge quantity of friendly units enabled him to sweep through almost every opposing army!

The Huntsman was even more impressive. Divine Alessandro Conti had an unending obsession with hunting.

The 280-year old god pilot even became the leader and the figurehead of the Galactic Hunting Club due to his strong involvement in the quirky hunting community!

With every throw of his spear, his prey grew weaker.

None of his spears were average. Each of them were treasures and artifacts in their own right.

As long as they struck the bodies of a target that did not instantly die, the wounds began to bleed without end.

Not only that, but as long as the spears remained lodged inside the bodies of their target, they continued to exert a weakening effect onto any nearby organs, especially ones that got damaged by the weapon!

The targeted ancient phase whales discovered the tricky aspects of the spears fairly quickly, but removing them was anything but easy!

They were planted so strongly into their flesh that none of their spatial abilities could meaningly affect the willpower-infused spears.

They had to resort to physical means to remove these nasty spears, but that took so much time and effort that the Huntsman could easily strike them with another empowered spear throw!

It soon became clear to most people that as long as there were no ancient phase whales in hiding, the Third Armada was bound to defeat the sister whales and win the battle!

The Fourth Armada wished their own battle progressed in such a smooth fashion.

The assault on the Sixth Tide Station started off relatively comfortably, just like with the other attacks that happened at the same time.

Just like several of the other dreadnoughts that had debuted in the other battles, the ones leading the Fourth Armada possessed special traits that caused them to stand out from other warships.

The Grail of Eternity was the more conventional of the two. She was designed to serve as a support vessel from the ground up, which meant that her weapon arsenal was not too comprehensive.

What she lacked in offensive power, she more than made up for it with her strong and versatile support functions!

The Grail of Eternity functioned as an excellent command vessel. Her powerful sensor systems could see through a lot of interference and accurately direct the attacks of a lot of different friendly units so that they could remain highly productive on the battlefield.

The mechs and warships of the Fourth Armada ran like well-oiled machines under the guidance of this support dreadnought!

That was not the true power of this 16 kilometer-long vessel, though.

What truly made the Grail of Eternity special was the wide array of strong linking technology at her disposal.

While the Red Two already made widespread use of support link technology, the experimental hyper modules installed on the Grail of Eternity were not only a lot more powerful, but could support a much greater quantity of units at a time!

One of the limitations of support link technology was that it became progressively more difficult to keep everything in sync. The constant transfers of data and energy became more complex with every addition to the support link network.

The Grail of Eternity stood out in this aspect by her capacity to simultaneously link 125 warships at the same time!

This was an astounding record, especially when battleships were also among the eligible vessels.

What this meant was that the Grail of Eternity had formed an unstoppable fleet by linking together 125 RF battleships that had already been prepared for this purpose.

The battleships advanced as one and resisted every attack thrown in their direction!

When the aliens struck one of the ships in this vast shield link network, they did not drain the energy shields of a single human capital ship, but only caused a miniscule reduction in the collective energy shield pool of all of the linked battleships!

If that was the only gimmick employed by the Fourth Armada, then the aliens still had a chance of draining this enormous pool.

The problem was that the second dreadnought did everything she could to disrupt the coordination of the alien defenders!

The Heart of Darkness was just as vile and devious as her name suggested. The dreadnought was a lot more experimental than most, and should have never left obscurity due to the controversial tech installed on her hull.

On the surface, the Heart of Darkness functioned similarly to the Throne of Lies in that she sought to debilitate the enemy.

Instead of relying on electronic warfare, the Heart of Darkness instead attempted to wage psychological warfare.

The dreadnought did so by relying on so-called psychic weapons that had recently been enhanced by hyper technology!

Few if any people knew about the existence of these dreadful weapons, but once this battle was over, practically every human would learn what the Heart of Darkness had been hiding all this time!

Unlike the flashy and visible web of links produced by the Grail of Eternity and her many accompanying battleships, the other dreadnought was content to avoid attention.

While it looked as if the Heart of Darkness remained on standby, her psychic weapon arsenal were already running at full power! Her Spark Reactor directed the majority of its extraordinary energy generation to meet the demands of the ship's exotic weapons.

The effects of these psychic weapons were subtle and invisible. They fired nearly undetectable psychic waves that penetrated through hulls as if they did not exist.

While the transphasic energy shields of enemy warships were able to block these hidden waves to an extent, the Heart of Darkness relied on her massive power to overcome the transphasic energy shields and reach the minds of the vulnerable alien minds!

The fleeters had thoroughly researched the brain and mental activity of every major race of the Red Ocean. They had developed special energy wave patterns for each of those races.

It just so happened that the majority of the alien defenders hailed from the nunser race!

As the transphasic energy shields of phasefighters and smaller warships were relatively weaker, they started to behave erratically first.

The ships reacted slower to commands. The weapons occasionally fired at the wrong targets. They started to drift from their assigned positions.
