Reinhardt felt terrible now. He suddenly missed the old days. Not only had he gained nothing, but he had also lost a lot. The carefully planned scenario turned out to be nothing more than a farce that left him extremely frustrated!
With the capture of James and the return of the Lucerne frontline forces, the blitz offensive he launched with the support of the Desic Empire was halted!
Not only did he fail to become the sole leader of Gazalin, but he also had no opportunity to realize his dreams and ambitions. On the contrary, in this fragmented situation, he had to resort to despicable means to harm a woman who loved him in order to cover up the truth!
Although, when he decided to take action, he had already resolved to fall into the abyss, abandoning honor and light. Yet, when he truly faced life with a ruthless attitude, he realized that corruption and hatred are even more painful.
To ultimately ascend to the throne as the greatest emperor of Gazalin, he had to humbly obey the arrangements of the Western Alliance and become a dirty rat, running towards a sweet bait in the rotten sewer.
When did he start down this path?
Was it the day he learned of his origins? He still remembers that day clearly. Having just become the Mythical Army Commander, he had made an appointment with Bonnie and bought a ring to propose to her. But everything changed in an instant!
To this day, he still vividly remembers that moment, quietly standing in the dark outside the luxurious hotel, looking at the familiar position by the floor-to-ceiling windows where Bonnie was.
If, at that moment, he had walked out of the darkness, entered the hotel instead of quietly leaving, would life have been completely different?
But now, on this dark and muddy road, he no longer had the chance to turn back.
Only when standing at the top would the cheering crowd not question what one had done or what kind of path one had traveled. It was a kind of degeneration, but also a kind of redemption.
One man’s success is built on countless bones!
Although the valley, spanning tens of square kilometers, was vast, it posed no challenge for the mechas. Even with thermal scans only covering a few hundred meters, the mechas’ exceptional mobility could easily make up for this shortfall.
Yet, in nearly two hours, Reinhardt had scanned almost every corner of the valley, but the thermal scanner only detected various wild animals; no humanoid targets were found.
[Apollo] suddenly leaped up, lightly stepping on a protruding point on a mountain wall, and gracefully hooked onto the top of the cliff. With a flex of its arms, the mecha flipped in the air and landed steadily on the mountaintop.
The radar of [Apollo] emitted a sharp alarm. Reinhardt frowned as, several kilometers away, the Mythical Mechas responsible for the blockade and alerting suddenly scattered like a disturbed hornet’s nest! A small red dot forcefully broke into the blockade of the mecha group.
On the communications channel, the furious roars and chaotic commands of the Mythical Soldiers sounded. Soon, the intense roar of energy cannons resounded, and successive explosions echoed continuously in the mountain forest! Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on ɴovᴇl(ꜰ)ir(e).nᴇt
"Report to the General! An enemy has breached the blockade!"
The voice of the commander of the guard battalion directly under the Mythical Army appeared on the communications channel. Reinhardt could clearly distinguish how angry this Imperial Baron, a Level 8 Mecha Warrior, was!
Just one mecha dared to challenge the blockade of the Mythical Army!
"Who is it?" There was an indescribable feeling in Reinhardt’s heart. He vaguely guessed something.
"It’s a [Magic Beast] mecha from the Leray Federation!"
"Oh!" Reinhardt tightly gripped the control stick, but his tone remained calm: "Kill him!"
The firing sounds of the energy cannons grew even more intense. The massive noise, combined with explosions, pulled at one’s heartstrings, creating a suffocating feeling!
Reinhardt quietly watched the mecha radar. The glaring red dot did not disappear despite the fierce attacks. Instead, it fiercely pierced through the guard battalion’s blockade!
The swarm of Mythical Mechas was enraged; they swarmed from left and right, surrounding the [Magic Beast]’s advance, group after group, layer after layer, endlessly!
But the [Magic Beast] kept advancing, and the sound of cannons and explosions grew closer to the valley.
In the communications channel, the angry roars of the Mythical Soldiers were accompanied by screams and curses, growing increasingly chaotic. The [Magic Beast] was dragging countless [Vajras], charging left and right, attacking in every direction as if it were immortal. Some warriors cursed it incessantly as "despicable! shameless!", as if this [Magic Beast] had committed some heinous crime.
"General!" The startled voice of the guard battalion commander echoed in Reinhardt’s ear again. He frowned slightly, unable to understand why hundreds of [Vajras] couldn’t handle one [Magic Beast]!
"That [Magic Beast] knows the flaws of our mechas! Deadly flaws!" The commander’s voice was filled with disbelief: "Over a dozen [Vajras] have already lost their energy converters and are out of action!"
"What?!" That despicable and sleazy Fatty had tampered with the design of the [Vajras]! Reinhardt’s blue eyes flashed with sparks. He finally understood why Osullivan’s forces were completely wiped out, and this news made him livid with rage.
