Chapter 6360 Giant Defenses.

"Our enemies have raised the threat level of the torpedoes! Their phasefighters are dying in droves in an attempt to get past our blockade and physically ram the torpedoes in flight!"

The repeated use of weapons of mass destruction escalated this battle at a very rapid pace. The absurd effectiveness of some of the more special types of oversized torpedoes especially alarmed the leaders of the alien fleet.

The phasefighters deployed from the archeships were not high in number, but they were all top-notch elite craft that could put up a decent fight against a first-class multipurpose mech.

They had managed to perform fairly decently so far, but once they no longer prioritized the opposing first-class multipurpose mechs and instead tried to save their injured gods, they began to incur greater casualties!

"Don't let them intercept the torpedoes!" Ves urged the mech pilots. "Major Jankowski, stop them at all costs! If you cannot stop them from destroying a torpedo, then make sure they do not target the trailing ones!"

"On it, professor!"

All of the first-class multipurpose mechs performed well so far. The ones deployed by the mechers and fleeters especially stood out due to their use of a more limited form of support link technology to keep them alive and powered up to a much greater extent.

The first-class multipurpose mech piloted by Major Jankowski performed a bit better than the others. As an expert candidate, Simon Jankowski was able to draw out the greater potential of his fast and versatile machine and managed to take down more phasefighters than others!

Even so, the single-minded determination demonstrated by the arche phasefighter pilots made it a lot harder to take down all of their craft before they opened fire at the torpedoes!

The azure energy shields that protected the oversized munitions managed to resist the attacks for a while, but soon enough one of them started to falter and detonate prematurely!

Fortunately, the torpedo in question was pointed at the enemy phase lords, so more than a dozen highly concentrated beams of X-ray radiation struck the damaged archeshells and inflicted a variety of energy damage!

The effectiveness of this attack was relatively limited, unfortunately. Archeshells resisted energy attacks especially well. At most, the gaps and holes in the more damaged shells caused a bit of X-ray radiation to damage the tissue underneath, but even that was relatively shallow.

This was the only success the desperate alien phasefighters attained. The first-class multipurpose mechs finally managed to overtake the enemy craft. The more agile mechs then proceeded to use their space suppressors to drastically weaken their energy barriers before breaching them with overwhelming firepower, allowing them to carve up the surprisingly resilient but ultimately vulnerable alien craft!

The second Hyper X-Ray Torpedo blasted concentrated high-energy radiation at the beleaguered arche lesser phase lords.

Though they had already been struck by this type of attack just before, the lesser phase lords rapidly adapted to this damage by filling the gaps of their shells with thick fluid.

When the X-rays struck again, the fluids evaporated in an instant, but successfully managed to bleed away energy that would have otherwise inflicted more serious material damage!

Even so, this response left the overly passive arche phase lords ill-prepared to block the next two torpedoes!

When the Hyper Nanomachine Plague Torpedoes struck the arche phase lords, they exploded with surprisingly little fanfare.

Only a lot of 'dust' had sprung out of the impact sites.

It only took a few seconds for the arche phase lords to understand what was wrong.

Their archeshells started to 'itch' as they felt it was being eroded at a very slow but concerning rate!

The alien phase lords tried to use their limited spatial abilities to get rid of the creatures, but the space suppression and the damage they incurred beforehand limited their ability to cleanse their own shells!

The nanomachine plagues did not even bother to act subtle as they frantically dug into the hardy shells and tried to devour them one microscopic bit at a time.

Since the transphasic archeshells were still so damn hard despite having cracked in many places, the nanomachine plagues began to combine their forces and condense into larger smart metal constructs.

"Our only battleship-grade gun battery is preoccupied with suppressing the Arena Lord and the Distance Shaper. We cannot divert their firepower, or else the greater phase lords will have more space to showcase their power." "We need to direct more firepower at the advancing arche phase lords, or else Fort Rock will turn into pieces!"

As the arche phase lords imposed an ultimatum on Fort Rock, Ves mentally sighed.

All of the potent but ultimately mundane solutions had run their course. There was only so much that he could do against not 1, but 5 lesser phase lords, each of which happened to excel at defense.

Ves saw no other way to turn this situation around unless he entered the battlefield in person. No more excuses stood in his way to expose himself to a collection of enemies who really wanted him dead.

"Load 2 Hyper X-Ray Torpedoes in tubes 1 and 2. Load the final Hyper Spatial Crusher Torpedo in tube 3 and place the Lucky Delivery System in tube 4."

"Meow meow meow!"

"I am not going to launch you towards the enemy phase lords. It's too dangerous for you to attempt to blend in with the nanomachine plagues and chew on the exquisite archeshells of the enemy phase lords. You must stick to your original mission and infiltrate one of the flagships of the combined enemy fleet."

"Meoww..."

Ves did not stick around for long. He waited until he saw the right torpedoes being loaded in the right tubes before he decided to set off with his shabby raiment and his flute that he intended to use as a blunt force instrument for this coming engagement!

He found it rather surprising that his appearance on the battlefield did not generate any reaction.

The Arena Lord, the other phase lords and the cosmopolitans were way too preoccupied with their own immediate fights to notice that their primary objective had come out in the open!

Perhaps the only enemies that truly registered Ves' arrival were the 5 arche phase lords!

They had merged into a ball that was able to spin remarkably easy, but also made it a little difficult for them to maintain situational awareness.

All they saw was that a human phase lord had emerged with the clear intent on stopping what they deemed inevitable!

Ves pointed the staff in the direction of the approaching enemy phase lords.

"You shall go no further, aliens!"

First-class multipurpose mechs continued to harass the collection of archeshells, but only inflicted moderate damage to the absurdly strong physical defenses.

Interest in archetech had most definitely skyrocketed now that people witnessed the greater splendor of this deep and alien technological branch.

Ves had worked enough on archetech to know how much of a nightmare it was to attempt to break past transphasic archeshells.

His staff lacked the penetration power to pierce through those shells, so Ves either had to rely on cracking pieces of the shell apart with repeated strikes or figure out a more convoluted way to inflict real damage onto the aliens.

His lips already curled into a smirk as he already thought of a potential solution.

"It seems these arche phase lords fare best in resisting head-on attacks, but perform significantly worse when trying to fend off vastly undersized threats."

This gave Ves inspiration on what he could do to crack open a shell and stop the 5 phase lords from completing their collision course.

His body and staff already started to darken as Ves deliberately channeled it in order to grant him the special strength needed to inflict telling blows on the hardy arche phase lords!

"It's my turn now! Let me validate my new fighting skills!"
