Chapter 334: You are really despicable now
Gamma, which has been combined into a large mecha, is undoubtedly the pinnacle of combat mecha in the worldview of Armored Warriors.
Even if all the boss unit mechas of the Leia Principality rebels are included, the Alpha, Beta, and Gamma forms of the Blood Armor Squad are the strongest, undoubtedly the strongest.
If there were no runtime limits for both the game and the dungeons, the entire game type would have changed from horizontal scrolling to player-versus-player multiplayer.
But in Cheng Tian's opinion, the combined form has a huge disadvantage that is of no use to others but very useful to himself. That is, in the combined state, mechas such as Brodia, which originally belonged to independent bodies, will be judged as accessories in the combined armor form.
Under normal circumstances, the purifying light attached to Cheng Tian's Fiery Sun Mask, even if it is converted to take effect on the mecha through the Mecha Technique entry, can only purify the accessories on the mecha, namely the 16 types of arm, leg, and shoulder accessories mentioned in the side quest, as well as a series of ordinary hot and cold weapons that can be used with ordinary Iron Fist.
However, when the Blood Armor Squad chose to merge, the mechas they were driving as independent entities would be considered as accessories to the large armor after the fusion.
As long as it is an accessory, then it meets the skill judgment that the Light of Purification can only be effective on "accessories/equipment"!
It's still the tried-and-tested three-shot purifying light. Although it only has a basic 50% chance of taking effect, because Cheng Tian has 2 legendary points and the opponent has no legendary points to counter, the probability rises to 70%. Unfortunately, it only took effect once this time.
The target chosen by the Light of Purification was the Repatos, which had transformed into an assault claw. This change caused the Gamma form to directly lose an arm.
At the same time, in Cheng Tian's side quest panel, the completion rate of the Holy Grail mission to defeat the Blood Armor Squad became "1/4".
Of course, since only two people are needed to operate the combined parts, the loss of an arm will only reduce Gamma's combat effectiveness, and will not make it unable to move... But the driver Ray, who has lost his vehicle, will be in trouble.
The octopus mecha under Cheng Tian's control had only one tentacle left that had not participated in the action just now. It stretched forward like lightning, and at the same time as it was knocked away by Gamma and Lepatos exploded, it had already wrapped around the waist of Rey, a Leia man surrounded by gold coins, and swam backwards for a considerable distance with a lot of splashes of water.
At the cost of two tentacles, Cheng Tian not only disintegrated the opposing machine, but also successfully captured a pilot of the Blood Armor Squad.
It was also thanks to the Blood Armor Team's water combat training that the pilot had already worn a helmet with an oxygen supply device before entering the water. Otherwise, Ray would have died directly in the water.
In a split second, many things happened that were beyond everyone's comprehension, causing Jeff, who was already filled with anger, to crash on the spot. He was even trying to check himself to see the part where the Repatos Assault Claw was originally inserted.
On the other hand, Glenn, the veteran who had only done his job conscientiously but had no sense of identity with New York, suddenly exploded.
Obviously, Rey, who was swept away by the octopus tentacles, triggered the veteran's battlefield PTSD. The scene of the battle in which he lost all his teammates and subordinates instantly flooded into Glenn's mind, making his eyes turn red in an instant, and he immediately snatched control of Jeff's combined mecha movement system that had crashed.
"Give my teammates back to me!!!"
The veteran in the cockpit screamed almost at the breaking point, and the Gamma Mech, which had lost an arm, burst out with amazing propulsion force for the second time. Jeff, who was caught off guard, also felt a strong push on his back.
In fact, if Gamma chose to leave the underwater environment and reunite with Sarah's Ford, then the Ford would directly transform and fill in the missing position of the Lepatos, making Gamma's form complete again.
But the veteran's PTSD broke out, and no one could stop him... Oh no, the only one who could stop him was himself.
Gamma, who was originally rushing towards Cheng Tian regardless of everything, was stopped by Glenn on his own initiative, because in his vision acquisition image, Rey's head was tightly grasped by the octopus mechanical hand, and there was another octopus tentacle with an extremely sharp end pressing on it.
Just a slight poke and Rei would be drowned in the water.
Cheng Tian is doing something despicable that is very villainous but also very effective.
"If you want him to live, immediately block communications with your command center and dissolve the fusion."
Through the public channel, Cheng Tian's voice appeared in the Blood Armor Squad's communication.
It was precisely because Cheng Tian had a very deep understanding of every member of the Blood Armor Team in advance that he made the choice to use hostages as a threat at this time.
If it were a team of players, they might have attacked directly. After all, Cheng Tian now has the double BUFF of "BOSS" and "Player". If he was killed, he should be able to get double drops of the bloody treasure chest and the BOSS treasure chest.
But for the Blood Armor Squad, especially the Blood Armor Squad led by Glenn Reed, the priority of teammates' lives is far higher than the priority of the mission.
Jeff is also an upright person. After spending time with him day and night, he no longer regards Rey, the alien goodwill ambassador, as an outsider. As long as there is a slight chance, he will not choose to give up the lives of his teammates in exchange for a strategic victory.
This is a very American hero, and also has a bit of the flavor of Soul of Steel who won't abandon any of his companions.
With almost no hesitation, Glenn controlled Goulding and directly separated from the combined parts. However, he did not follow the instructions regarding blocking the communication channel. After all, Cheng Tian didn't know whether he did it or not.
Without Goulding, the Brodia was ejected by the combined parts themselves.
At this time, Cheng Tian had already floated towards the surface of the water while maintaining the threat of the hostages.
The Blood Armor Team was angry but had no choice but to follow, and had already notified Sarah not to attack Cheng Tian.
When Sarah, a two-star hybrid, heard that Rey was captured, she was in disbelief at first, then she bit her lower lip and felt a little overwhelmed.
As a young soldier, and a special forces recruit who joined at the end of the battle, she obviously had no experience of having a teammate captured.
But at this moment, Irene, who was also deployed around the Statue of Liberty and heard the news, instinctively realized that Cheng Tian might be doing something big.
Sure enough, a minute later, the communication channel shared by Glenn began to hear a voice mixed with waves. Although the reception was not very good, it was 100% from Cheng Tian.
"Do you know? This was a sacrificial war led by the Earth Federation, in which New York civilians were sacrificed in order to legally colonize Leia!"
