Wow! The item-dropping rate is really high!-Chapter 589 - 459 You are right..._2
Many Observers silently made their notes, continuing to watch.
The gunfire from the Thunder Beasts brought significant damage to the army, but the speed with which the Mech Armored Corps, burdened with high hopes, cleared these behemoths was pitiful.
Only when one Mecha after another was sent out by a black maintenance vehicle from the sea of low-level Bugs did the situation slightly improve.
Looking at that unremarkable black maintenance vehicle in the footage, many Observers' eyes began to show doubt.
What is this thing?
A path that Mecha couldn't break open was cleared by a maintenance vehicle?
The crane on the maintenance vehicle was clearly visible, was this some new black technology from the Scientific Research Institute?
Their gaze swept over the silent conference hall where the footage was being viewed, and all Observers temporarily suppressed their impulse to ask Weslin, curious about another matter—
"Why didn't they let Mech Pilots from the Mechanical Court fight?"
After all, to review is to look for every detail that could be optimized throughout the process, to perform better next time.
No matter who is in power, the Bug Race's Hive is humanity's enemy, a target that must be eradicated.
Could the Thunder Beasts have wreaked such havoc on the human army if the Mech Pilots from Mechanical Court had taken action earlier?
They borrowed manpower but didn't know how to use it! The worst of the useless!
Fortunately, the Thunder Beasts barely had any means of resistance in close combat, and the only three Hive Guards were kept busy by a greater number of elite Mech Pilots, which allowed the ordinary-level Pilots to effortlessly take down seven Thunder Beasts that were quite far from the main battlefield.
"The losses are too great..."
"At least half of the people here are dead."
"Thunder Beasts are truly terrifying!"
Thick-skinned ultra-long-range artillery.
When they appeared as a group, the strike they could deliver was simply too dreadful; it required a team of elite Pilots to carry out a surgical strike to head off the danger the behemoths posed to the human army.
In the end, the Mech Armored Corps' selection criteria simply weren't strict enough.
Not to mention matching the standards of the Mech Pilots from the Mechanical Court, if they had even the level of the Pilot of W0721 Mecha, they wouldn't have suffered such heavy losses.
All of them are military Pilots, so why is the gap so big?
After this battle, if nothing else, the Mech Armored Corps' organization must undergo a complete and thorough reshuffling!
The video did not shift with people's will and continued to play.
Only when the Thunder Beasts were exterminated did the Dominator quietly appear.
An impact wave that the video could not convey instantly radiated across the field, and all soldiers were immediately frozen in place as if struck by a petrifying spell.

This scene had been showcased during the last expedition against the Bug Race, so it wasn't surprising this time.
But what no one had anticipated was that the low-level Bugs, who had been similarly immobile in the Dominator's Spiritual Energy field last time, seemed unaffected this time, as they launched their sharp claws and teeth at the immobilized bodies of flesh and blood.
The sounds of "krzz krzz" echoing through the recording filled the entire conference hall, as though gnawing at everyone's sanity, chilling to the bone.
"The Bugs can move!"
"The Dominator's Spiritual Energy field can be selective against enemies only!"
Upon seeing this scene, everyone felt a penetrating chill.
This completely different situation from last time instantly plunged everyone into confusion.
With the vast majority of their own forces unable to move, yet the enemy's Bug swarm was completely unaffected.
How was this battle to be fought?
Putting themselves in the shoes of those officers, they felt lost.
The deeper the empathy, the greater the panic.
Purely getting hit, any talk of tactics and strategy was in vain.
"Only by cutting down the Dominator, and quickly at that, can this situation be ended."
"Didn't they have the support of the Mechanical Court? They should have taken action by now."
Indeed, they took action.
The strikes launched against the Hive Guards were sharp and dazzling, showing a standard of operation entirely different from those military Pilots.
"As expected from someone of the Mechanical Court, that fluidity is much more comfortable to watch."
"With the Mechanical Court's people taking action, they should have been able to handle the Dominator, right? How did they end up in such a disastrous retreat?"
And so, the three Mechas from the Mechanical Court were each cut down by the Dominator with a single stroke...
"..."
"..."
"..."
Watching the colorful fragments dance across the screen, the faces of all the Observers in the audience displayed absolute stupefaction.
What had happened?
Was this the pilot from the Mechanical Court that everyone had placed their high hopes on?
You must know that the pilots of the Mechanical Court were the highest level of combat power their city could proudly boast of.
Indeed, high-end combat power institutions like the Spiritual Power Managers Center and the Heretical Arbitration House were formidable, but against a colossal individual like the Dominator, individual Spiritual Energy, no matter how powerful, could hardly cause sufficient damage.
Even if they could inflict injury, it would undoubtedly require the concerted efforts of numerous high-tier Spiritual Energy users.
Throwing all the rare high-tier Spiritual Energy users in the city into such a battlefield as expendable assets was a luxury the city had not yet afforded.
Even if they could successfully eradicate the Hive, the substantial loss of Spiritual Energy users would undoubtedly lead to weakness in other areas; if demons took advantage of that vulnerability, the city's fate was unimaginable.
The people from the Mechanical Court were also inadequate!
The scene fell into an absolute silence for a moment.
Many Observers in the audience began to feel sorry for the high-ranking military officers involved in the battle, especially Weslin...
With such a gap in strength, being able to save back a thousand soldiers to ensure basic formation was already a stroke of luck amidst the misfortune.
However, after returning in defeat, they would still have to face the judgement against them...
"If the Dominator is this powerful, won't we be unable to clear out this Hive forever?"
The destruction of three Mechanical Court Mecha was not something the city could not accept; what they truly couldn't accept was that the Mecha from the Mechanical Court had been annihilated without even managing to probe the true strength of the Dominator.
What display of strength is a one-hit kill? Not seeing the limit of the Dominator only led them to endless speculation.
Many Observers began to ponder inwardly, secretly worrying about the future fate of the city.
With such a formidable enemy at their side, how could they sleep peacefully at night?
Following the military personnel into the conference hall, the man with the unkempt beard who was now leaning against the doorframe squeezed his chin, his sharp eyes fixed on the image of the Dominator displaying an absolutely invincible posture, and he began to think about how to defeat this unrivaled beast in the future.
After all, even if he took over the military district, the Blackrock District Hive was the greatest threat he was destined to face.
'What should I do?'
This thought rose in everyone's mind.
A calm voice suddenly resounded from the external speakers of the meeting hall—
"This is Bai E, I request to sortie in Mecha form!"
Bai E?
Such a familiar name.
"Permission to sortie granted!"
The voice of an unknown man surged instantly.
Consequently, in the footage captured by the unmanned drone, a Mecha that had previously fallen on the ground stood up once again.
It crossed the sea of bugs and picked up the fragmented shoulder badge that originally belonged to W0721.
Watching the blue and white Mecha standing alone on the ground, the memories of countless people were instantly activated.
"It's Bai E!"
"It's Captain Bai!"
"Wasn't he benched because he was prone to losing control?"
"You're right... but we still chose to bring him along," said Weslin for the first time after the playback of the recorded video.
"If the pilots of the Mechanical Court couldn't overcome the Dominator, what use would he be?"
"Yeah... With just him left, what could it change?"
The combat prowess Bai had shown during the clean sweep of the Intelligence Machinery Group Army, after thorough verification by the Mechanical Court, was deemed to be equivalent to the combined might of three to four groups of elite Mechanical Court pilots.
So with three groups of elite Mechanical Court pilots having been obliterated in a single strike, could he alone withstand the blade of the Dominator?
"Clang, clang, clang, clang!"
The sounds of dual blades clashing with four bone blades melded together.
Watching the blue and white Mecha in the video fighting alone against four giant Bug Race creatures, everyone's brains ceased to function...
