The new mecha race was not some weaklings who only knew how to defend. Their overflowing confidence allowed them to bite their opponents even if they were at a disadvantage in terms of numbers. Therefore, the mecha side was the first to break the silence between the two sides.
Five columns emerged from their own formation and headed straight for the enemy's formation. Leading the group were five leader-level mechs. Their tall bodies stood out from the rest of the group, and they were especially eye-catching. Apart from them, there were only three elder-level mecha that had not left the formation.
There were a total of eight elder-level mecha. Compared to the current number of mecha, the ratio could be said to be abnormally low. The number of pocket-sized mecha was less than 10% of the entire mecha race. Most of them were still ordinary mecha.
At first, Lin did not quite understand why there was such a large difference in the ratio. But later, he figured it out. This was because the mecha modified by the Kindling at this stage were all elemental creatures from the Earth Elemental Plane. They belonged to the lowest level of settlement. Their foundation was not good enough to begin with. It was reasonable that they could not modify a few elder-level mecha.
The Commander tier was not only big in size, but also had a bigger body and a stronger output of the reactor. This meant that they had more horsepower to do anything and could support more functions. All-rounded talents were the most basic standard for the eight elder-level mecha.
Of the three elder-level mecha leaders who were still in the formation, two of them led the reserve team and waited. The remaining one stayed at the mecha position specialized for long-range attacks.
Their offensive tactics were not taught by a certain transmigrator. After the bombardment, the melee fighters would come forward to clean up the mess. They had more people than before. They had more choices and could use more flexible tactics.
The five columns that broke out shot toward the enemy formation like five arrows. Their speed was not fast. It was just the speed of an ordinary mecha marching army. But in the eyes of the primitive elemental creatures, they were charging toward them at lightning speed. Such a ferocious stance caused a small commotion on the side with more people, but it was immediately quelled.
Elemental Lord Pablo was a fierce general who was good at fighting on the battlefield. Unfortunately, he was now leading an army that had been gathered temporarily. It was not as good as his direct subordinates. However, he did not feel that there was any possibility of him losing when he had more people.
Even though the leader of the five teams was quite tall, he was only about the same height as him. Pablo's giant bear form and monstrous strength were what allowed him to dominate the battlefield.
Roaring towards the sky, the giant claw pointing the way, Pablo loudly gave orders to his subordinates. These orders were quickly passed down to the troops at the front. Immediately, ten troops broke out and attacked the enemy in a pincer attack. The number of people was several times more than the number of troops.
The mech column did not change formation, nor did they change the direction of their attack. They continued to advance aggressively. It was as if the team that was surrounding him did not exist. The reason why they were so brave and confident was because of the artillery positions that they had started to move from.
Under the command of the tactical command platform, all the mechs specialized in long-range attacks aimed at their assigned targets. Because of the large number of enemies, everyone was assigned multiple targets. What they needed to do was to fire according to the orders and attack the enemy.
Currently, there was no nominal commander in the Mecha team. All of their actions were discussed on the tactical command platform, including the route of attack and the timing of firing. Therefore, for a bystander like Lin, the mechs in the artillery position fired without any warning.
Their shooting habits were just like someone's instructions. They would unify the time to hit according to the parameters of each cannon. The Elemental Plane of Earth was a world without air, so there would be no whistling sound of cannonballs flying. The moment the enemy sensed that they were being attacked by long-range attacks, they would attack from all directions.
Lin did not know whether they were worried about the artillery skills of their allies or whether the mechs were also afraid of the power of the railguns. After all, many of them were elemental creatures in their original forms. They had all been enlightened after being attacked by the railguns and changed sides. Therefore, the five teams of mechs would slow down when the railguns fired. The intervals between the railguns would return to their original marching speed and advance steadily. The timing was just right.
Completely different from the relaxed mechs, the elemental creatures were bathed in cannon fire. Every second felt like a year. Someone fell every moment. Moreover, the attacks were not scattered attacks. They started from the front of the formation and did not miss a single one. The members at the back of the formation were forced to move forward under orders. Then, they would be smashed into pieces by the attacks that came out of nowhere.
Attacking and fighting were two different things. Although the mechs would change their marching speed with the railguns, their calmness and the good cooperation between the front line and the rear showed that the mechs were full of confidence. On the other hand, the elemental creatures' morale was low. The railguns were baptized by the railguns. None of the bullets missed.
Lin, who was watching all this, could not help but smile bitterly. He sighed and said, "They even came up with a coordinated infantry and artillery tactic. I really don't know how they will grow."
Fen noticed that the man beside her would show abnormal emotions from time to time. She asked with concern, "What are you worried about? Are you worried that those guys can't control them and will eventually backfire? I have a lot of experience in this kind of thing. Do you want me to teach you a few ways to control your subordinates? It's just that the number of backup plans you have is not inferior to mine at all. Do you have to be so worried? "
Lin looked at the scene transmitted to the tactical command platform by the mechs. He watched as the five mechs forcefully broke into the enemy's formation under the coordinated infantry and artillery tactic and started a close-range battle. There were not many people who entered the battle. Most of them still used firearms and cannons.
Among them, the one who shone brightly was a leader-type mech. He had a total of ten fingers on both hands. At the tip of each finger, there was a small-caliber railgun that was designed to imitate a Gatling gun. Together with the large-capacity magazine hidden in his arm, he could shoot in all directions after killing his way into the enemy's formation. He single-handedly created a large area of no man's land.
Perhaps only that leader-type mech could achieve such results. However, the results of the other mechs could not be ignored. The mechs cut into the elemental creatures led by the Elemental Lord Pablo. It was like a hot knife cutting through butter. It did not take much effort to kill this primitive elemental creature army.
In a short period of time, the 10,000-strong army was already on the verge of collapse. It would not be surprising if they collapsed.
Lin could only smile bitterly in response to Fen's question. "I'm not worried about the problem of backfire. I just find it unbelievable. This kind of scene that can only be seen in movies or animations in my hometown is happening right in front of my eyes. Do you know how unimaginable this is for me? Especially when this group of mechs was created by me … Yes, that's right. You and Cassette Cutting also helped a lot. However, in this world where magic is the most important thing, seeing such a scene that only appears in science fiction, I'm only worried that this is all a dream. Otherwise, it's fake and unreal. I might wake up from this dream at any time. "
"You're still the same. So unconfident," Fen commented.
