Planet of Sand and Oasis of Iron

Chapter 218 217. That’s all the nuclear bombs of the non-invisible ghost soldiers are like.

The super-electromagnetic tactical nuclear cannon has a lot of shortcomings. For example, as a weapon mounted on the body, once activated, it cannot move unless it actively gives up charging.

For example, the charging time is very long. Even as a combat weapon, this time is enough for the opponent to beat the weapon user into a sieve eighteen times.

Furthermore, weapons will occupy the limited weapon mounting slots, and cannot even be quickly replaced. Disassembly and assembly after use will become extremely troublesome, etc...

After this shot is fired, it is difficult to call these "problems" problems anymore.

The sun rose into the sky with a rumbling sound. Inside the body of Sefna, which was in the process of restoring the system, there was a constant "click, click, click, click" sound. It was obvious that the radiation level was off the charts.

Then came the rumbling of heavy warm pressure. The moment the sun expanded, the vehicles blocking it melted or were blown away, and the formation was torn apart, as if everything would be over with just one blow.

Cypher probably underestimated the resilience of the people in this world, or rather, underestimated the armor they developed for combat. The corporate mercenaries' bodies that were far away were blown away by the blast and hit the ground, but they got up after a moment.

For those that were close by, except for the unlucky guy at the center of the explosion, the scattered vehicles were merely covered by the sand, glass and other things that emitted a dazzling red light, or were blown away.

As for the target, Seifer didn't have time to care about it now. Once he fired the bullet, not only the guys from other teams who were hiding, but even the guys who were robbing other companies halfway across the desert would have probably noticed it.

The Abian Enterprises mercenary units charged fiercely across the crimson, seemingly spreading glowing desert. Cypher didn't hesitate—

"T-3. What are you doing? I've already taken action. Where are the people?"

"Haha, your... sizzling... movements are a bit exaggerated... sizzling... coming!"

The sun slowly dissipated like a phantom, and its residual energy continued to dissipate. It was estimated that it would take a long time for this red sea of sand to recover. Of course, this was what Sefer thought in his mind.

In fact, he only realized after firing that this thing was called excessive weaponry because it was really excessive. And he had to start fleeing immediately, without delay!
Fortunately, the Phantom Mist Group did not let him down. While Cypher was driving the recovered machine and ejecting the cooling fins to escape quickly, several machines jumped out of the sand sea from all directions and headed straight for Abian's corporate mercenaries.

The situation immediately became chaotic, and both sides started fighting on the spot, using their weapons and superb fighting skills to attack each other.

This was a battle of the superiority and inferiority of the company's weapons and equipment as well as individual strength. The fast vehicles and armored vehicles that were trying to pass through could not get involved, so while the mercenaries were fighting, the convoy immediately changed direction.

After reorganizing and going online again immediately, the heavy artillery of Abian's armored vehicles... had an excellent destructive effect on the armored units that also surrounded them, so that the offensive rhythm was immediately slowed down.

At this time, Cypher had already driven the machine away from the main battlefield. He found a ravine and put the machine in it, then switched to the special spare body. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw two deep, red-glowing tire tracks heading towards the front line.

Quickly contact: "Where have you been?"

"Oh? Of course we're going to participate in the Armored War. Otherwise, how can we justify the car you got for us?"

In the communication, I could occasionally hear other people saying "yes".

The electronic map was still blurry, and the real-time status kept jumping due to the influence of electromagnetic disturbances, the impact of fusion warheads, and the energetic sand on the ground, making it almost useless.

Even the communications were jammed. Fighting a tank battle amidst such poor communication? Cypher was deeply concerned, but he still had his primary mission to attend to. Raising his rifle, Cypher quickly entered cruise mode and advanced rapidly, reaching the area of the moving battle within a minute.

At this time, the place was in chaos, with more than a dozen machines running around in the desert, fighting each other.

The sound of the bombing was deafening, and the aircraft occasionally collided. If someone retreated, he would be immediately fired upon, and his teammates would immediately attack those who were firing upon him... It was very chaotic.

The addition of Cypher would at most make this chaotic battlefield even stranger.

But before that, a customized machine with heavy armor similar to that of the Phantom Mist Group, but equipped with Abian's cutting-edge magnetic rail weapon, suddenly rushed out at an angle.

Amidst the roar of the explosion, he pushed aside the wreckage of an armored vehicle and spoke directly into the communication: "Red Crossbow Arrow... Are you Red Crossbow Arrow?"

"It's me, what's the matter?"

"I thought your mecha was more unique... It seems that guy who only dared to fire from a distance was just your bait. I am 'Hunter Blade'. You will be my thirteenth star."

The other party announced his name and ran at full engine power. The heavy machine had a speed that did not match its appearance.

Sefer, holding a spear, went straight ahead without caring about the convoy that was moving quickly behind him!
During the sprint, he jumped quickly left and right. The bullets from the two shock waves could be seen whizzing through the air, followed by the sound of "bang bang" gunshots.

At the same time, the opponent was also maneuvering quickly, and he maintained a certain distance - because, the longest-range weapon of Cypher was probably the heavy shotgun hanging on his shoulder!
Hoo, are you planning to get away this way? Seifer pondered for a moment, then, while dodging the enemy's continuous firepower and using his armor to withstand the small-caliber shots, he activated the special movement function within his suit.

——It should be noted that any four-legged unit can actually propel itself into the air after a short jump. It is obvious that the opponent is also prepared for this characteristic of Cypher.

As soon as he takes off, he will be shot down immediately with the electromagnetic booster cannon - on the complicated battlefield behind them, many people are also using four-legged machines, so they have this concern.

It’s a pity that he guessed part of it right, but missed the other part.

Seifer really took off into the air, with his horse-like legs folded under his body. The twenty-load X2 rocket launcher mounted on the horse's back spewed out strings of flames, which were projected towards the opponent like a peacock spreading its tail.

Armor can deflect bullets at a certain distance, but it certainly can't deflect a rocket within its homing range, nor can it deflect a shotgun shell.

The heavy bipedal machine calling itself the Hunter Blade maneuvered left and right so rapidly that even the automatic lock-on fire control couldn't keep up - but it didn't matter, Cypher used manual lock-on.

Of course, this is not a problem. The main problem is that Hunter Blade found that something was wrong with this guy. After he floated up, he did not use the main engine propulsion to maintain altitude. Instead, he just floated lightly and freely, and even the propulsion was just posture adjustment!

This guy, what the hell is this machine? How did he manage to drive it?!
Of course, Cypher would not tell him that he was not driving at all, but was using this huge body and the special functions of this body as if it were his own arm.

It is anti-gravity flight. Although it consumes a lot of engine load, he hardly needs to consume more energy in the flying posture.

Dodging at extremely weird angles or using the angle of his armor to deflect the enemy's firepower, Cypher gradually approached as he hurriedly dodged the rockets that followed him like a shadow.

Hunter Blade's scalp was tingling, but he had no choice but to go ahead, because if he could deal with the red crossbow arrow here, he would be rich!
