[2] Genius Mechanic

Chapter 263

Moat Defense

The first mecha point explosion occurred in the second half of the interstellar tournament. The audience in the live broadcast reacted to the exciting rhythm of the battle. Trace killed the Jiazi-control mecha, giving KID the first point advantage. The dark horse KID from the Dawn Star System, after achieving an outstanding third place in the first half, seized the overall first point in the second half by battling against the second-ranked Jiazi.

"The first kill of the match!!" The commentator excitedly reported, "KID secures the first mecha point from Jiazi."

Surrounded and ambushed by Jiazi since entering, the audience never expected this outcome. Despite Jiazi's clear advantage, KID successively broke through, and in the end, not a single KID mecha was eliminated. Instead, they killed the core mecha control of Jiazi.

[KID is amazing...]

[Directly took down one of Jiazi's mechas.]

[Without control, Jiazi's stealth is useless.]

[KID is still pursuing; they want to take down Jiazi!]

After the explosion of the first mecha point, several KID mechas continued to delay other mechas of the Jiazi team. In the distance, the KID guardian and Jiazi stealth continued their 1v1.

When Jiazi's stealth damage reached 60%, the damage of KID's guard was at 45%! The damage gap in the close-range battle between the two sides gradually widened with time. KID's guard became more and more resilient, while Jiazi's stealth retreated in the face of the fast and fierce attacks. In team battles, 1v1 mecha situations often occur, but prolonged engagements can affect the efficiency of mecha combat due to the decline in mecha pilot stamina.

KID's guardian seemed like a stamina monster, and every thrust of the spear was particularly fierce.

The Jiazi team quickly retreated, and KID's mechas followed closely. On the other side of the ruins, KID engaged Jiazi in battle again. KID's guardian took the lead in delaying two of Jiazi's close combat mechas, while the medic mecha Sink headed straight for Jiazi's medic mecha. Through continuous depth charges, Sink disrupted and slowed down Jiazi's medic mecha, blocking its movement speed increase and reinforcements to teammates.

"Four mechas from Jiazi, four mechas from KID, Trace is on his way to support," the commentator observed the increasingly tense battle rhythm, "Jiazi still wants to save, and Jiazi's artillery is in range. He's attempting a long-range snipe on Yao!"

KID's control mecha, Lucy, noticed Jiazi's artillery operation. She quickly adjusted her position, landing in the opposite direction of Sink, forming a special interception circle with Sink. Jiazi's artillery had tremendous attack power, and when he aimed at KID's guard, Yao, for a bombardment, Lucy and Sink immediately changed tactics to intercept from the side.

At the right moment, Lucy's enhanced cannon strengthened the power of Sink's Flame Cannon. Together, they forcefully diverted Jiazi's artillery's attack halfway, and the high-energy fire ring was deflected before hitting its target. The direction of long-range support was directly cut off.

Jiazi's commander, seeing the approaching mechas, couldn't help but curse and adjusted his position to a new sniping point. However, without any blockade, KID had complete freedom to control and heal. Sink, with assistance from control interception, continued to harass and control Jiazi's medic mecha persistently, causing interruptions in support from Jiazi.

"Can they stop them?!" Jiazi's commander said, "Stealth, find a way to get closer to our side."

"No way to escape." Jiazi's stealth felt a headache. He had already moved as close to his teammates as possible, but KID's guard's ability to stick to opponents was terrifying. There was no way to engage in close combat. At first, he could seize the advantage, but as the battle lasted longer, his advantage had been lost.
