A giant mecha could be handled with ease,
but in front of Gu Ya and Ye Ying, hundreds of Lai Jingjun's latest combat mechs, each over 200 meters tall, were deployed.
Each mech had a payload capacity exceeding 3,000 tons. Their internal bio-energy battery packs had been entirely converted into weapon energy, capable of destroying half a small country with full-power output.
This single super-mecha allied force, once it invaded Xianxia, would be unstoppable by Xianxia's current military strength.
Furthermore, Lai Jingjun possessed more than just this one super-mecha allied force.
Gu Ya felt a threat unlike any he had experienced before!
It seemed his trip to the Southern Hemisphere was the right decision.
Behind Gu Ya and Ye Ying stood the mecha armies of thousands from the nation of Angus in the Great Palm State.
Half a month prior, the duo visited Angus based on war intelligence and paid a visit to the Governor's Office of the National Defense and Strategic Bureau of Angus.
Upon learning that the visitors were Gu Ya, the Unregistered War God of Xianxia, and Ye Ying, the 27th War God of Xianxia, the Governor's Office abandoned its arrogant demeanor and personally came out to greet them.
From the Governor, they learned that the Black Star Empire had been invading the Great Palm State in recent years.
The Black Star Empire employed a "leapfrog" tactic, first invading small countries and then using those small countries to encircle and annex larger ones.
Gu Ya was quite familiar with this strategy; it was somewhat similar to a combination of "long-range attack, close alliance" and "island-hopping tactics."
Lai Jingjun also had outstanding strategic commanders, no less capable than Xian Wangchuan.
Currently, Angus was facing invasion from three surrounding small nations. The last neighboring country was fiercely resisting but was on the verge of annihilation.
And on the western sea, a super-mecha squadron of Lai Jingjun was also poised for action.
This technological superpower, which had grown strong due to bio-tech, had reached a state of national peril, facing enemies from all sides.
Angus and Xianxia had always been on good terms, with many cooperative ventures. Angus was one of Xianxia's important strategic partner nations in the Southern Hemisphere.
Therefore, the timely arrival of Gu Ya and Ye Ying injected a strong dose of confidence into Angus's leadership, who hoped the two could assist in jointly repelling the foreign invaders.
"Uh, Master, the Xieshen Yiweng is looking for you," Hei Yang reminded him.
[Ding! Main quest activated: Eliminate 130 Black Star Empire giant mechs.]
[Quest Reward: 3 million system coins.]
Gu Ya was somewhat surprised. He had thought that after upgrading to a Master-level Mecha Mechanic and consuming the Xieshen Yiweng, there would be no more main quests.
After all, he had altered his own future destiny; the world he inhabited had seen its future historical trajectory changed because of him.
"I was just worrying about not having enough system coins..." Gu Ya said with a smile.
Ye Ying calmly inquired, "What do we do? Cooperate with Angus to block the enemy head-on, or find another way."
Gu Ya glanced at the troop deployment on the holographic radar, pondered for a moment, and said, "The most advantageous point of attack is to the south, where only twenty enemy mechs are deployed."
"Leave the front line to Angus, and we will flank them and attack their rear."
The Miracle Thunder Eagle burst forth with astonishing power, transforming into a ground-bound meteor and charging south.
Ye Ying's cockpit had already rotated backward, controlling the second mecha system, ready for separation and independent combat.
At precisely 8:00 AM, the great battle was imminent.
The Black Star army gave Angus no chance to breathe.
Three hundred kilometers beyond the national border, dozens of super-mechs deployed their full-body armament, unleashing a barrage of long-range offensive weapons as numerous as stars.
Additionally, the latest intelligence from Angus's global strategic radar headquarters indicated that fifteen intercontinental bio-energy missiles had been launched from a Black Star colony several thousand kilometers away towards Angus.
The Black Star Empire intended to end Angus's century-old foundation with a single bombing run, a brutal act that offered no room for negotiation.
The initial engagement was hellish.
Even five more Gu Yas might not be enough to save Angus from the brink of perdition.
"Now, we can only hope for a miracle," Gu Ya muttered.
The Miracle Thunder Eagle, like a lightning bolt of acceleration, crossed the national border in an instant, heading towards the twenty super-giant mechs.
The 68-meter tall Miracle Thunder Eagle was still too small in comparison to these behemoths.
But this did not deter Gu Ya's assault.
Hundreds of aggregated energy electromagnetic grenades were fired from the mecha's body. Before the giant mechs could react defensively, they all exploded around them!
Surrounding ten enemy units, a high-voltage electric field erupted on the ground and in the sky.
The high-voltage electric net, crackling loudly, pierced the air, making the entire electric field appear like the interior of a steaming cage, murky and distorted.
The remaining enemy mechs quickly retreated, widening the distance. After doing so, they simultaneously activated their radars to locate the aggressor but could not pinpoint its position.
However, they had forgotten one thing: Gu Ya's ability to charge from hundreds of kilometers away at incredible speed without being detected by their radars already indicated that the Miracle Thunder Eagle's mecha performance was extraordinary!
The ten enemy mechs caught within the electric field were like beings locked by thousands of electric nets, rendered completely immobile.
Utilizing this brief window of opportunity, the Miracle Thunder Eagle rapidly split.
The Nightingale mecha detached from the back of the Thunderstorm Starmaker, transforming into an agile swallow. It wielded two specially modified fiber-optic beam swords, activated combat synchronization, and directly pierced the outer armor of the super-giant mechs, burrowing inside.
Meanwhile, the Thunderstorm Starmaker attached itself to the back of another giant mech, deploying its chest armor to release Gu Ya.
As the ultra-high voltage electromagnetic network dissipated, the enemy mechs at the center of the battlefield were all intact, as if what had just transpired was merely a false alarm.
The Black Star mecha squad leader stated, "This is too bizarre. Did you detect the enemy? All units report!"
"Everything is normal! The mechs have withstood the high voltage, and there is no internal structural damage."
"Everything is normal!"
...
"Mine too, mecha performance is good. What was that just now? Was it natural lightning?"
The squad leader calmly responded, "Do not let your guard down. We did see a mecha attacking just now, but its speed was too high to track. Re-check all mecha statuses."
"We have received operational orders from above. All mechs..."
"Continue with the planned tactics! The front lines have engaged. Provide rapid fire support!"
As the order was given, all twenty mechs fully deployed, opening the ammunition depots attached to their armor and unleashing a wave-like barrage of beam cannon fire towards the north!
However, two mechs, positioned behind the others, remained unresponsive.
The squad leader turned to look and broke out in a cold sweat!
While they had indeed deployed their ammunition launchers, they were aimed at the eighteen friendly units in front of them!
Before the squad leader could question them,
the two mechs suddenly unleashed all their ammunition at extremely close range!
The entire battlefield instantly transformed into a ferocious energy field. The pure shockwave of the explosion was like a surface nuclear bomb, causing the entire ground to tremble violently and a terrifyingly spectacular super mushroom cloud to rise.
Shortly after the battle began, the Black Star allied forces lost twenty super-mechs. The overall commander immediately ordered a thorough investigation.
At this moment, the Miracle Thunder Eagle was speeding towards the rear of the Black Star allied forces.
The giant mushroom cloud behind it was so vast and spectacular that its size would not change no matter how far it moved away.
Fighting alongside Gu Ya had completely reshaped Ye Ying's understanding of mecha combat.
Previously, she would meticulously study every mecha's movement, simulate all possible crisis scenarios, and then utilize mecha movements to their utmost in actual combat to achieve counter-kills and defeat opponents.
But Gu Ya, in a way that completely abandoned the conventional methods of mecha operation, had executed the enemy.
What kind of person was the lover sitting beside her?
Perhaps the road ahead was fraught with thorns, but Gu Ya could always find a way to forge ahead in an unprecedented manner, using the most logical yet unexpected methods.
"Handsome, wasn't it?" Gu Ya asked with a smile.
Ye Ying chuckled sheepishly and said, "Show-off..."
"This is just an appetizer; the main course is yet to come," Gu Ya said, gazing ahead with excitement.
The Miracle Thunder Eagle ascended again, deploying its right shoulder armor.
Hei Yang had been waiting, and quickly retrieved the cannon from the "Void Package" that transcended comprehension.
As metal and mechanical structures systematically separated and reassembled,
the super-giant barrel of the Heaven-Shaking Divine Cannon gradually materialized and connected to the Miracle Thunder Eagle's right shoulder.
Shouldering a terrifying giant cannon capable of bombarding a hundred thousand enemy mechs,
Gu Ya flashed a sinister smile, grasped Ye Ying's hand, and together they pressed the fire button.
