Silicon Invasion

"Number 8, lock onto the target and launch the tracking missiles!"

As a glass cannon, Swift Rainbow's movement speed is extremely fast. The two thrusters under its skirt armor allow it to fly off the ground for a short time, with a short-range sprint speed of up to 270km/h. Coupled with its built-in interference devices, dodging tracking missiles is not a problem.

But that doesn't mean the tracking missiles are useless. At the very least, they can force the opponent to move and disrupt their offensive rhythm. Most importantly, why not use them if they're available?

Watching the six missiles fly out with smoky tails, Luo Rui's fingers continued to move non-stop, while simultaneously giving voice commands: "Number 8, release the shoulder mounts!"

External weapon modules are very easy to install and remove. As soon as Luo Rui issued the command, the connection buckles between Warrior 7's shoulders and the recoilless rifle and rocket launcher quickly opened.

With a series of loud booms, they crashed to the ground one after another, splashing up large clouds of dust.

Although the combined weight of the two weapon systems is only half a ton, the powerful wind resistance they create seriously affects Warrior 7's agility and coordination during small-range maneuvers. Fighting Swift Rainbow, a nimble assassin, with them is just asking for trouble.

"Yo, Tian Junli is in trouble now." Green Hair Mei* teased in a strange tone, his voice full of schadenfreude.

As the saying goes, an expert's move reveals their skill. Locking on and launching missiles, then immediately unloading the attachments, may sound simple, but the actual operation is quite troublesome and tests hand speed.

More importantly, the opponent didn't even know what type of mech they were facing at the beginning. To quickly come up with the optimal solution, a strong ability to adapt to the situation is also required.

Luo Rui didn't think so much. With the comprehensive improvement of his agility attribute, he could do many things more easily than before.

As expected, the tracking missiles did not cause any damage to Swift Rainbow. It used two sets of heat-seeking decoy rounds to trick the missile's tracking system. Under the cover of smoke, it approached Warrior 7 at an absurd speed.

At this time, Luo Rui had already discarded the giant shield in his left hand. The commotion when this thing hit the ground was much greater, stirring up dust clouds as if two smoke bombs had been thrown on the spot.

However, naturally, the dust clouds did not contain metal interference particles, and both sides' observation systems remained firmly locked on each other.

Warrior 7's right arm rose, and the semi-buried 12.7mm machine gun on it immediately spewed fierce flames. An attack that ordinary mechs wouldn't even bother to block was as threatening as a 30mm autocannon to Swift Rainbow.

After the super-plastic armor plate on its right arm was torn apart by the metal barrage, Swift Rainbow had no choice but to sidestep to dodge, which forced it to reduce its speed.

At this time, Swift Rainbow had approached within fifty meters of Warrior 7. For mechs that are seven or eight meters tall, this distance is just a sprint away.

The front armor plate of Warrior 7's thigh opened outward, and two alloy daggers popped out. The mechanical giant hand reached down and firmly grasped them, then took a step forward, actively charging towards Swift Rainbow.

Luo Rui's practical combat experience was not very rich due to his limited resources. But as a mech enthusiast, he read many related posts online and knew the advantages and disadvantages of various mechs like the back of his hand. He could also talk eloquently about various battles and often argued and flamed people online about certain operations. He was a seasoned keyboard warrior.

Moreover, he was also good at mental practice and had many ideas in his head. Unfortunately, none of them had been tested in actual combat, and now he finally had the opportunity.

If it were in the past, suddenly encountering these situations, he would probably panic and be unable to respond effectively. But now, the agility attribute enhanced his various reactions, and adapting to the situation didn't seem so difficult.

According to Luo Rui's idea, to deal with speed-type mechs like Swift Rainbow, you must not get into its offensive rhythm, otherwise you will be very passive. As long as you interrupt it, the balance of victory will tilt towards your side.

Facing Warrior 7 charging over like a mountain, Swift Rainbow did not panic. Small openings appeared in the armor plates on both shoulders, each revealing a muzzle.

"Crackling ~" Small-caliber bullets hit the 100mm thick reactive armor, crackling and sparking, but they couldn't penetrate it at all.

However, Tian Junli was not doing useless work. As a melee assassin, Swift Rainbow was equipped with a complete system for this purpose.

And this small long-range fire, coupled with a powerful self-aiming lock-on system, was not intended to create fireworks, but to pinpoint and eliminate Warrior 7's external observation systems.

The observation system is equivalent to Warrior 7's eyes and ears. There is no such thing as listening to the wind to discern direction in mech battles. Once they are destroyed, Warrior 7 will become a metal coffin, at the mercy of others.

This system was designed for this very scenario, and naturally it was extremely accurate. In a short time, a dense alarm sounded in the cockpit.

Luo Rui waved his hands, and Warrior 7 sidestepped, shifting most of the observation system to Swift Rainbow's long-range fire blind spot, while simultaneously using the auxiliary system to turn off all secondary observation systems.

Secondary observation devices account for 70% of the entire observation system. Compared to those higher-priority observation devices, they all have a hidden mode. When turned off, they retract behind the armor plates to prevent being sniped by enemy long-range fire. When external observation devices are destroyed, they will be released one by one to replace the damaged devices.

Although this will limit Warrior 7's field of vision, it is better than becoming blind.

But Swift Rainbow wanted this sidestep. Tian Junli had obviously used this mech often. Unlike Luo Rui, who was just a theorist, his experience came from actual combat. He had encountered and dealt with all kinds of opponent reactions.

A chain sword was drawn from the waist and then secured by a mechanism, turning into a large sword more than three meters long. Swift Rainbow held the sword in its hand and, using the momentum of the charge, swept the sword towards Warrior 7's weakest point, its waist.

This move is called Flash!

It refers to a high-mobility mech using the impact force of its forward charge to deliver a fierce blow with its weapon.

If this hits, Luo Rui would probably be forced to GG on the spot.

In the blink of an eye, Warrior 7 took another sidestep and spun, while simultaneously retracting its right waist and arching its body sideways. This simple movement from calisthenics is not easy to achieve with a mech. It requires issuing more than a dozen instruction set combination commands in an instant, which requires extremely high hand speed.

The armor plate on the waist was squeezed due to excessive proximity, making a creaking sound. This movement is also a burden on the mech.

Fortunately, the mech does not need to maintain this movement for a long time.

Although the chain sword driven by Swift Rainbow's own speed was swift, it also had a significant flaw, which was that it was extremely difficult to retract and change moves. So when Warrior 7 made the appropriate dodging movement, when the tip of the chain sword passed Warrior 7's waist by a hair's breadth, Tian Junli could only watch helplessly, unable to extend it forward even one millimeter.

Luo Rui breathed a sigh of relief. Just now, he seemed to have fallen into a strange state. Everything was subconscious operation, and only now did he realize it somewhat belatedly.

Fortunately, under Luo Rui's several operations, Swift Rainbow's sprinting speed did not pick up, and this most dangerous move was easily avoided.
