The Mech Touch novel Chapter 5564

Chapter 5564 Rapid Fire

The match between the Fey Fianna and the Oclis Zemo could be seen as a struggle between two different weapon philosophies.

The Oclis Zemo clearly sought to lead a resurgence in the use of ballistic weapons in the Hyper Generation. The striker mech did so in the most visually stimulating fashion possible by continually firing twin streams of impactful earth bullets from its rotary cannons.

There was no way that the machine could sustain this excessive rate of fire, but it did not have to! So long as it was able to take down a single opponent, its mission would be complete!

This was why the striker mech did everything possible to demolish its opponent as quickly as possible. It did not hesitate to rotate its heavy guns faster in order to spit out its bullets at a faster rate.

The rotary cannons would almost certainly have to be scrapped or undergo a complete rebuild after this match, but who cared? The benefits from winning this match was far greater than destroying a few measly weapons!

Under the heavy firepower of the Oclis Zemo, the Fey Fianna did not fare well at all. The constant bombardment of earth bullets impacted dozens of armor plates so quickly that the adaptive modular armor plating system became overwhelmed by how many of them needed to be replaced.

The excessively high firing rate of the twin rotary cannons also caused numerous bullets to squeeze into the weak points that briefly became exposed when the replacement armor plating failed to arrive in time.

This caused the energy shield fey to malfunction!

Its flight began to falter while its energy shield generator completely lost the ability to restore its charge.

Numerous other systems began to falter in quick succession as the initial failures caused the mech to become much more vulnerable to follow-up attacks.

RAT-TAT-TAT-TAT-TAT-TAT-TAT!

Under the withering fire of two ruthless rotary cannons, the energy shield fey became so overwhelmed that it began to falter and drop from the air just a few seconds after it had suffered internal damage!

This was the most frightening aspect about rapid-fire weapons. Their lethality against softer and weaker internal components was unparalleled. So long as they could bypass all of the protective layers of a target, they could quickly wreak havoc inside!

The premature collapse of one of the energy shield fey caused the second one to withstand a huge amount of stress!

The only saving grace was that the remaining modular armor plating of the downed fey could still be leveraged to increase the damage buffer of the remaining elements, but only to a small extent.

As the distance between the two mechs continued to decrease, the accuracy and the hit rates of the rotary cannons improved by a significant extent.

This not only caused the fey that was trying to block as many bullets as possible to deplete its defenses faster, but also caused it to suffer more internal damage as the adaptive modular armor system simply couldn't keep up with the accelerated accumulation of damage!

Boom!

An internal explosion caused the energy shield fey to lose power and drop to the arena ground as well!

Many people's hearts became chilled. The energy shield fey might not be as tough as an actual mech, but their defenses were quite formidable for their size.

The use of a water energy shield and modular armor plating could keep them alive for a long time so long as the enemy did not employ any overwhelming attacks.

Unfortunately, it just so happened that the Fey Fianna matched up against one of its worst nightmares!

Kinetic weapons were fantastic at delivering burst damage, and it was clear that the extreme firepower of the Oclis Zemo most definitely had the capability to overwhelm the defenses of the Fey Fianna!

This reflected a crucial difference in fighting tempo.

The Fey Fianna's configuration was clearly suited to slower and more drawn-out battles. It might not be the best at battles of attrition, but it was no slouch in them either.

The Oclis Zemo on the other hand relied much more on performing extremely well in the brief moments that counted.

Since its initial purpose was to serve as a point defense unit for starships, it had to be able to spit out as many damaging rounds as possible in order to successfully intercept rapid missiles and shells in great numbers!

Such firepower happened to work just as well on all kinds of spurs, including the fey which were even larger and easier to hit due to their greater scale!

The downing of two energy shield fey was bad news to the Fey Fianna. It only had a pair of luminar crystal cannon fey left, and their internals were even more fragile as they were never designed to serve as damage sponges.

It would hurt the Fey Fianna a lot if it lost its two offensive fey, but it was still better to sacrifice them than to lose the main body!

More modular armor plating came loose from the latest wreck and desperately sought to block as many bullets as possible.

At this moment, the main purpose of the fey and all of the modular armor plates was to buy time for the main body to close the distance to the Eclis Zemo!

So long as the drone mech itself was able to get close enough to its adversary, the situation would completely change!

The opponent knew this as well, so the Eclis Zemo went all-out in order to shred the remaining fey and finally the drone mech itself before they could ever get close enough!

"This is getting exciting!"

"How many rounds has the Eclis Zemo fired at this time? 10,000? 100,000?"

"I bet it is over a million!"

"What?! How can anyone afford such a consumption? An entire mech company of these machines could bankrupt an entire mercenary outfit!"

The excessively high firing rate had already caused them to push their limits. Now that one of the cannons received a lot of excess thermal energy from an outside source, the weapon suddenly made an awful noise! _{ƒreewebɳovel.com}
