The Mech Touch

ly helped slay the sacred gods, which was very far from the actual truth!

Ves shook his head at their behavior.
At the very least, their constant poking and prodding tentatively confirmed that Pairixan wouldn ’t wake up and engulf the entire area with earthquakes.

”Please inspect Qilanxo if she ’s conscious. ”

One of the mechs walked in front of Qilanxo ’s huge lizard-like form.
Now that their mechs had all gotten close, they clearly saw Qilanxo drawing breath.
It must have been hard to breathe in the dust and heat-laden air, but the god species could easily handle worse.
They possessed resilient, adaptable bodies that could survive many different environments.

This was also why the exobiologists were reasonably certain that she ’d be able to survive!

”Qilanxo isn ’t responding to our actions. ” Captain Orfan who was also on site reported.
”I think this big beast is too injured to care about us.
Do you want us to nudge her or something? ”

An exobiologist became alarmed.
”Please don ’t disturb Qilanxo ’s rest, Captain Orfan! Qilanxo is incredibly pained right now and regaining her consciousness will only exacerbate her injuries. ”

”Fine! Whatever you say, doc! ”

The exobiologists and other medical experts already loaded a fast transport with as much medical supplies they could bring on short notice.
They took their seats and let the legged transport take them towards the dangerous site.

Though the heat and radiation posed a threat to their bodies, their hazard suits provided them with sufficient protection against the aftermath of the furious blasts.

A few questions began to pop up among the men.

”Why did Pairixan die while Qilanxo managed to stay alive? Isn ’t she weaker than her mate? ”

”She ’s oriented towards defense while Pairixan favors offense.
The space barrier also completely centers around her, protecting her body the best from the initial blast until it couldn ’t withstand the damage anymore. ”

It took some time for the Vandals and Swordmaidens to wind down from the battle.
One concern remained, though.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www.webnovel.com for visiting.

”What is the status of Pailanon and his subordinates.
Have they come closer? ”

”Pailanon has taken his subordinates and reentered the city as soon as he witnessed the explosion.
He lost his courage, ma ’am. ”

The Vandals couldn ’t replicate such an explosion without crippling their energy generation, but Pailanon didn ’t know that.
If the enemy could strike with such force once against Pairixan, what did that mean for Pailanon if he took up his younger brother ’s mantle?

He ’d be crazy to attack a force with such a devastating weapon!

Besides, now that Pairixan was likely dead, the eastern side of the city instantly became ownerless! The junior sacred god that Pairixan left behind was the only living member of the Eastern Samar Pantheon, which would likely be dissolved this day.
There was no way Pailanon would let a single sacred god stop him from claiming the ancient city of Samar once and for all!

With the older brother preoccupied with raiding Pairixan ’s belongings in the city, the Vandals and the Swordmaidens rested a little easier.
At the very least, they didn ’t have to fight another powerful exobeast after expending a great amount of effort to defeat Pairixan ’s group.

There was one other faction on the planet that the Flagrant Swordmaidens needed to take note of.
”Has the Starlight Megalodon launched any weapons? ”

”We ’ve detected no abnormalities on our long-ranged sensors.
The fleet hasn ’t sent down a shuttle to inform us of any threats they detected from orbit either. ”

The Vandals still felt uneasy.
The Starlight Megalodon continued to loom over their heads as a latent threat.

Fortunately, as several hours went by, their fears subsided as nothing happened.
The explosion evidently fell within the battleship ’s tolerance range.

It wasn ’t wise to test the Starlight Megalodon on this matter.
Hopefully, their next encounter with the natives wouldn ’t be so fraught as what happened today.

With the alert level lowering down from red to yellow, the Vandals and Swordmaidens stopped holing up in their bunkers and shelters and began to pick up their duties again.
Ves yearned to see Qilanxo up close but he had no reason to do so.
Mech designers like Ves wouldn ’t be able to help in any of the duties.
He ’d only be in other people ’s way.

As some of the exobiologists already started treating some of the surface wounds of the unconscious sacred god, others started beginning their preliminary studies on the remains of the four dead sacred gods.

The engineers even approached one of the god crystals and began to take a large amount of scans.

A lot of work needed to be done to process their spoils of war.
The researchers among the Vandals long dreamt of obtaining the corpses and the sole surviving sacred god.
While the explosion caused a lot of damage, there was still more than enough left intact to perform extensive studies.

Everyone wanted to see what made the sacred gods tick! What distinguished them from the wild gods? How were they able to manipulate the god crystals while Chief Dakkon couldn ’t even get his own specimen to glow?

All of these puzzles might soon be answered, especially with the help of Qilanxo, whose breath grew a little more even now that the exobiologists had begun to treat her wounds and sedate her with a potent substance.

As Ves returned to the mech workshop to prepare for the inevitable raft of repairs as some of the mechs had been affected by the shockwave, Ketis also entered and plopped her armored form onto an available seat.

”I wanted to go off and see the beasts up close, but they wouldn ’t let me! ”

Ves chuckled.
”If they let every random Vandal or Swordmaiden up close, there would be no one left to man the camp.
Besides, you ’ll get your chance soon enough. ”

”How so? ” She frowned.
A mech designer had nothing to do with a living beast.

”If my guess is right, they ’ll eventually want to put someone onto Qilanxo ’s back, if she will let us.
That will be my time to shine. ”
