Bloodshed Land, open-air Training Ground No. 30.
"Let's do it here." Carroll led the group to this place and stood opposite of Han Xiao, creating a large distance between them. Looking from afar, they looked like a small dot.
Han Xiao looked around. This training ground was very wide, with tall mechanical towers at the edge. They were connected by dozens of blue high-temperature electromagnetic lines, looking like a sci-fi baseball field that had been enlarged many times.
The ground was made of gray metal plates, and there were scorch marks left behind by explosions or scratches from sharp weapons everywhere. There were also quite a few dents. Clearly, this training ground was often used for training.
"In my territory, you have to follow my rules." Carroll's voice came from afar. "Firstly, the battle area is limited to this training ground. If you cause any damage outside, you will bear the consequences. Secondly, you cannot cause any serious damage to the opponent, so don't worry, your life will not be in danger."
As he spoke, Carroll activated the training ground. The ground rumbled, and many holes appeared on the metal floor. Mechanical soldiers rose up one after another, surrounding Carroll.
All the mechanical towers at the edge of the training ground shook, and light shot out from the tops of the towers, forming a projection that showed the countdown of three minutes.
Carroll's lips curled up, and he said, "Don't say that I'm bullying you. Before the battle starts, you have three minutes to prepare. Once the three minutes are up, this training ground will be covered by a protective shield."
Black Star was a guest, so he definitely would not bring too many combat machines. They were most likely all on the spaceship, and he would be given three minutes to bring the machines to the training ground. After the protective shield covered the training ground, Black Star would not be able to receive any reinforcements from the outside and could only use the machines on the training ground to fight.
As for Carroll himself, he had an endless supply of troops. Since Combat Field No. 30 was a facility that released machines from the ground for the trainers to fight, there were many tracks hidden in the metal plates on the ground that were connected to the underground logistics warehouse of Planet Heber. This meant that even with the protection of the protective shield, Carroll could still receive endless reinforcements.
Carroll was very clear that a battle between two Mechanic Supers would most likely turn into a war of attrition. Black Star's forces were limited, and his forces were unlimited. He was already in an undefeatable position.
The protective shield was transparent, so he could trample on Black Star in public.
He could basically foresee the outcome of the battle. Black Star's machinery would be exhausted, and the ground would be filled with wreckage. Black Star himself would be heavily surrounded by his troops, and he would be able to look down on Black Star with ease and make Black Star admit defeat.
Ames wanted her subordinates to help her vent her anger and defeat her subordinates. This way, she would lose even more face.
Moreover, he did not hide the fact that he had the home advantage. If Black Star were to back out and cancel the challenge, Ames would also lose face.
In any case, it was a sure win for him.
Carroll revealed a confident smile.
On the other side, Han Xiao was not surprised by Carroll's advantage at all. He sent a message to Risda, asking him to drive the Blacklight Stealth over and drop the Army Boxes.
Ames was still standing at the side, and she softly said, "Black Star, are you confident?"
"A little," Han Xiao casually replied.
"Then, I believe in you."
Ames's tone was as gentle as a warm breeze. Although she also felt that Han Xiao's challenge to Carroll was very sudden, it was clear that Han Xiao was helping her vent her anger. She was inexplicably happy.
She had always had a lot of trust in Han Xiao, and this time was no exception. She patted Han Xiao's shoulder, turned around, and walked out of the venue with Hella and Aurora. They stepped onto the tall building beside the battlefield and watched the battle from above.
Around the battlefield, there were people climbing up the buildings to watch the battle. They were all members of the Bloodshed Land, and there were hundreds of them. They were all officers or elite warriors of the Bloodshed Land. Malekith and a few Vanguard Officials were among them, forming different small groups and whispering to each other.
The news of the battle between Carroll and Black Star was not deliberately hidden. It spread like wildfire, and it soon reached the ears of many officers. They all came over to watch the battle curiously.
"Black Star is actually so daring, daring to challenge our officers in our territory." A Vanguard Official looked at the rice-sized figure in the field and clicked his tongue in wonder.
"He challenged Carroll because he's a traitor of Floating Dragon?"
"That must be the case. A few days ago, Ames was forced to retreat by His Excellency Tyrant. She probably felt indignant, so she asked Black Star to fight for her. Hehe, it would be embarrassing if he lost." Someone could not help but look at Ames, who was also watching the battle, and speculated. "Maybe Ames will intervene at the critical moment and interrupt the battle."
"Carroll's combat strength, tsk …" Malekith shook his head slightly.
The Vanguard Official's impression of Carroll was very complicated. On one hand, it was because he was a traitor. Although the Tyrant was magnanimous, his identity as a traitor would obviously make others unwilling to get close to Carroll.
On the other hand, Carroll belonged to the logistics department and had almost no chance to fight. Unlike the Vanguard Officials, who were all famous members of the Bloodshed Land, Malekith and the others did not have a clear understanding of Carroll's strength. They only knew that he was also Grade A.
"However, with the battlefield advantage, he won't lose."
…
In the palace, Heber was still chatting with Austin, exchanging feelings.
This time, Austin's expression suddenly changed, and he said with a strange tone, "Tyrant, there seems to be a problem in your territory."
Heber frowned, took out his communicator, pressed a few buttons, and received a report from his subordinate.
"Black Star is challenging Carroll?"
Austin chanted a spell, and the space fluctuated. A huge mirror appeared, showing the scene of the battlefield in real time.
"Looks like they're about to fight. Aren't you going to stop them?" Austin asked.
Heber looked at the mirror, thought for a while, shook his head, and said, "Since Ames is not bullying the weak, there's no need for me to stop a normal battle."
"What if your people lose?"
"My Bloodshed Land is not a sore loser." Heber's expression was normal as he pointed at the mirror and said, "Continue watching. Don't stop."
…
At the same time, three guests were following a Bloodshed Land soldier around.
The representative of the Amethyst Civilization, Ralph, was walking side by side with a Klent high official, chatting happily. The diplomatic relationship between Purple Crystal and Klent had always been good.
Behind them, the leader of a super financial group was following the two of them. His name was Rossos, and he had a wide range of businesses. He had investments in both Star Clusters and could be considered a friend of Ralph and the Klent high official.
While the three of them were discussing business issues, a series of figures suddenly flew past the buildings above, attracting their attention.
"Where are those people going?" Ralph asked curiously.
The soldier shook his head and said, "I don't know. They seem to be heading to Training Ground No. 30."
Just as he finished speaking, another series of figures flashed across the sky, followed by a black spaceship that sped past quickly.
The three of them were all very knowledgeable people, and they immediately recognized that the spaceship was the Radiant Federation's Lurker Grade spaceship. Among all the guests, there seemed to be only one person piloting the Blacklight Stealth.
Floating Dragon Island's Black Star!
The Klent high official was immediately interested. "Something seems to have happened. Let's go and take a look."
Ralph shrugged, indicating that he did not mind. Rossos did not have any objections either.
…
When there was one and a half minutes left on the countdown, the Blacklight Stealth arrived above the training ground. The belly of the spaceship opened, and six Army Boxes were spat out. They were like six falling meteors, dragging long trails of flames behind them.
Han Xiao raised his hand toward the sky, and tree-shaped lightning bolts struck the six Army Boxes. The boxes opened in midair, and compressed orbs fell like rain, crashing onto the ground.
Crack!
The moment they landed, these compressed orbs expanded and turned into six Mech Legion.
The Mechanical Beast Guards Army, Assault Artillery Regiment, G-1 Steel Legion, G-2 Heavy Armored Cavalry, and Mini Cube Army occupied a portion of the training ground, surrounding and protecting Han Xiao in a preset formation, making him feel like he was in a sea of machines.
The twelve Oathkeepers of the elite army stood beside Han Xiao. From head to toe, their outer armor moved like waves, like moving scales, carrying out an automatic inspection.
All kinds of cannons landed behind them or floated in midair. Other than the conventional electromagnetic cannons and laser cannons, there were also the new plasma cannons and thermal cannons.
"There are a little too many troops."
Carroll was slightly surprised.
However, he was still very confident.
Black Star's Mech Legion only occupied a small portion of the training ground, but his own mechanical army was much larger, occupying almost half of the training ground. Their numbers were still increasing.
There was a circle of mechanical transportation holes at the edge of the training ground, and standard mechanical soldiers crawled out one after another, surrounding Black Star's troops.
The almost endless reinforcements were the source of Carroll's confidence.
"To accumulate so many machines, Black Star must have spent a lot of time and money."
Malice flashed across Carroll's eyes.
"If we destroy all of his machines, Black Star's combat strength will drop by a few levels, and his accumulation will be destroyed."
The formation was completed. As there would be a protective shield later, Han Xiao did not use the Eye of God. He checked the machines, and there were only a dozen seconds left on the countdown.
The mechanical towers at the edge of the training ground were activated, and a light blue barrier slowly rose, covering the training ground. All the spectators were blocked outside.
The dome was a few hundred meters tall, and when the barrier completely closed and turned into a protective shield, the countdown would end.
Countless mechanical soldiers were ready to move. The style, technology, and model of the machines controlled by Carroll were clearly different from Han Xiao's. Most of them were standard cannon fodder.
Buzz!
The two of them released their Mechanical Force at the same time. Lightning flashed, and thunder rumbled. The skills of Calamity Grade Mechanics had an effect when using Mechanical Force instantly covered the entire training ground.
"After so long, I've finally met a Mechanic of the same level."
Han Xiao narrowed his eyes. This was the first high-level battle.
The Berserk Ape mechanical suit appeared, and a virtual screen popped up in front of him, showing the image of Virtual Intrusion.
Carroll, on the other hand, was not of the Virtual Intrusion School. He put on a single soldier mecha, and right after, sections of armor extended out, quickly becoming a 30 meter tall heavy fortress that wrapped around Carroll tightly. The thick and heavy outer armor showed that its defensive power was shocking at first glance.
From the gaps of the fortress, countless large caliber cannons extended out.
Carroll belonged to the Heavy Mech School of the Armed Mech School. It was large in size, heavy in weight, thick in armor, and strong in firepower. It was a set of defensive heavy mech vehicles. Carroll wanted to use its advantage in a war of attrition, so it covered itself with a hard turtle shell.
He was not Han Xiao, and he did not have a strong body. He was most afraid of sudden attacks, so he used defensive tactics, trying to make sure that Han Xiao could not even touch him.
"The right way." Malekith and the other spectators all nodded. They did not feel that Carroll was a coward. This was a strategy that was suitable for the situation.
The moment Carroll's fortress was formed, the barrier completely closed, and the countdown ended!
Boom!
The next moment, lasers and cannons roared!
The battle suddenly erupted!
Han Xiao's Mech Legion clashed with Carroll's mechanical army!
Bang! Bang!
The two armies fought fiercely, and the scene instantly became chaotic.
Machines could not speak, and they fought in silence. Metal rubbed against metal, and bright sparks were produced.
The clanging sounds replaced the roars and battle cries. Machines were torn apart one after another. Machines could not make any screams, only the sound of electric sparks.
Boom!
The large caliber cannons of Carroll's heavy fortress locked onto Han Xiao from afar and fired. The recoil caused the cannons to retract, and the sound of the cannons firing was like a heavy hammer hitting steel, and the echo was still buzzing.
Huge light cannons headed straight for Han Xiao, and the high temperature caused the air to distort.
Just as the large caliber light cannons were about to hit Han Xiao, the Watcher Instrument appeared behind Han Xiao like a peacock spreading its tail and flew in front of Han Xiao, turning into a distorted force field shield. The light cannons hit the shield but did not explode. Instead, they were deflected in all directions.
Bang! Bang!
All the light cannons were deflected. Some flew far away, hit the protective shield, and exploded violently. Some landed on the ground, causing strong winds in different parts of the battlefield and blowing up a large number of mechanical soldiers. Both sides had a portion of their forces.
Han Xiao glanced around, and with a clench of his fist, Mechanical Force struck all the parts on the ground. One, he pulled up a portion of his mechanical soldiers and continued to fight.
Seeing this, Carroll stopped attacking Han Xiao, and the heavy fortress started to fire at Han Xiao's Mech Legion, wanting to destroy Black Star's troops as soon as possible.
"You want to hide and fire? Do you think it's that easy?" Han Xiao snorted coldly.
He raised his hand, and a series of compressed orbs shot out from the tube on his wrist. They expanded in midair, turning into more than ten mechanical hands. The next second, these mechanical hands transformed and combined into a hundred-meter-sized Buddha's Palm, three times the size of Carroll's heavy fortress!
Han Xiao waved his hand, and the Buddha's Palm slammed down. The palm pressed on the top of the heavy fortress like a palm hitting a ping pong ball.
Boom!
The strong wind caused by the collision blew away the surrounding mechanical soldiers. Even through the protective shield, the eyelids of Malekith and the others, who were watching the battle from the outside, twitched.
The metal ground cracked and caved in from the heavy pressure, but the heavy fortress was covered by a layer of shield and did not suffer much damage.
Inside the heavy fortress, Carroll sneered. This fortress was not ordinary but an important piece of combat equipment that he had researched. It was able to defend against Calamity Grade attacks.
Right at this time, Carroll felt the fortress suddenly shake violently.
The Buddha's Palm bent his fingers and pulled the Heavy Fortress out of the ground. With a swing of his hand, he threw the Heavy Fortress as though it was a softball. It flew a long distance and crashed heavily into the protective shield, causing a series of blinding electric sparks to explode.
Boom!
A loud bang!
The Bloodshed Land elites watching from outside the protective shield saw a large black shadow flying toward them. The shadow grew larger and larger in their vision, and they were so frightened that they almost slipped and fell.
The heavy fortress rolled and landed on the ground, shaking the ground. However, the shield still protected the fortress loyally, and the damage was negligible. Its defense was amazing. Only Carroll, who was piloting inside, felt pain in his butt.
