Chapter 2703 Boost and Prediction
According to the approaching figure in the transparent force field window, Joan had calculated the movement and attack speed of Slude's mechanical armor in his mind, calmly manipulated the mechanical arm, and raised his hand to block the huge iron fist that was coming.
However, his operation hadn't been completed yet, and the steel cavalry on the opposite side suddenly accelerated and rushed forward. He couldn't help being shocked, and hurriedly gave up blocking, and changed to dodging with a plane.
The sound of the siren and the flashing red light on the dashboard all indicated that Joan's temporarily changed operation method could not be implemented, because it had exceeded the upper limit of the steel cavalry's mobility.
It wasn't until this moment that Joan fully understood the true meaning of Slude's previous warning.
The strength and agility attributes of the steel cavalry are equivalent values calculated based on the rated output power of the magic engine, and have nothing to do with the physical attributes of the pilot himself.
The people sitting in the cabin, whether it is a weak little girl or a giant dragon that has turned into a human form, show the same strength and agility attributes when manipulating the steel cavalry, and cannot break through the physical limit.
In other words, if your strength attribute exceeds 36 points, or your agility attribute is higher than 18, then in the state of driving the mechanical armor, your own combat power will be restricted to a certain extent.
The steel cavalry is a mass-produced military mechanical armor. Its target users are ordinary soldiers, not quasi-legendary and legendary-level extraordinary professionals. There are not many agility attributes exceeding 18 points, and those with strength attributes exceeding 36 points are even rarer. Performance is more than adequate.
However, Joan is no ordinary soldier.
Counting the strengthening of "Advanced Gorgeous Belt", "Blood Mead" and "Prayer", Joan's strength attribute in human form is 25 points, and the agility attribute is as high as 27 points, which has greatly exceeded the steel cavalry. upper limit.
The steel cavalry was unable to carry out the evasion action he could complete under normal conditions. As a result, he was punched in the shoulder by Slude on the way to dodge.
Slude seized the opportunity to jump up, kicked the opponent's abdomen heavily, kicked the steel cavalry that Joan was driving, fell to the ground, and slid back a long way. Fortunately, there was a force field barrier to intercept it. Otherwise, I am afraid that Haakon, who is lying outside the wall watching the excitement, will be crushed.
Qiao An shook his dizzy head, and manipulated the steel cavalry to lean against the force field wall, support the floor with both hands, and stood up with difficulty.
"Well, are you convinced now?"
Slude's steel cavalry stood opposite, with a pair of mechanical arms crossed across their chests, looking complacent.
"There's something wrong with you!"
Joan looked through the window of the force field, looking up and down at the steel cavalry on the opposite side.
"When you charged just now, there was a second acceleration. According to my calculations, the steel cavalry's rated power could not achieve that acceleration. Slude, did you turn on the booster engine?"
"Hey! Sure enough, you're smart. You've only received one punch, and you can see where you are at a disadvantage!" Slude manipulated the steel cavalry to applaud him, "My brother was beaten eighteen times by me, and he hasn't been beaten yet." Find out where you lost, you are much better than him."
"It turns out that the booster engine is still used in this way." Joan suddenly said.
"Not everyone can use this trick. A little carelessness will cause the body to lose control. If you can't hit the opponent, you will throw yourself like a dog instead. If you don't believe me, try it."
Slude's provocative sneer came from the communicator.
Joan didn't catch her aggressive method.
As Slude said, it is risky to turn on the boost engine in ground combat.
It's like when you are confronting someone, you are suddenly kicked on the butt, forcing you to rush towards the opponent. If the sole of your foot is covered with garlic and you haven't hit the opponent, you have to fall "dog gnawing shit" first.
This surprising trick requires a lot of training to be mastered. Even Slude dare not use it too much. After the surprise attack is successful, the booster engine will be turned off as soon as possible. Joan lacks experience in driving steel cavalry to fight. Make a joke.
"Joan, do you want to continue fighting with me?"
"One more round, you will attack and I will defend. I will try to break your tactic of speeding up the surprise attack."
"Are you sure?" Slude asked suspiciously from the communicator, "How do you plan to crack it?"
"It's actually very simple, just predict your attack and dodge it in advance."
Joan answered frankly, causing a burst of laughter.
"It's easy to talk about it, but it's a pity that your mechanical armor is not as flexible as your tongue."
"Huh? I'm not convinced when you say this, how do you know that my tongue is more flexible than mechanical armor?"
If someone's tongue really has 18 points of agility, it only takes three seconds to lick all the cream off a large piece of cake, and there is no delay in whistling with three cherries in his mouth. Dogs are not so flexible Tongue, Qiao An even asked himself that he couldn't do it.
"Bah! Little mage, you've learned badly!"
Joan didn't know which sentence he said wrong, which made Slude turn off the communication device angrily, start the booster engine on the back, and manipulate the mechanical armor to rush towards him like a roaring steel beast.
The same loss, Joan will not suffer a second time. As early as the beginning of Slude's offensive, he activated the "early warning" attached to the ring, and his sixth sense, which was greatly enhanced by magic power, helped him predict the situation. Slude's attack trajectory.
Obviously, the clenched right fist was just a cover, and Slude's real killing move was on his left knee, intending to use the booster engine to leap into the air and smash into the opponent's chest fiercely with a literal iron knee.
Tut tut! This girl is really dark!
Joan complained, and at the same time manipulated the mechanical armor to stride forward.
Ignoring Slude's bluffing fist, he pushed hard at the moment she took off, and pushed the steel cavalry who had just leaped into the air into the air, rolled and hit the wall of the force field, rebounded and landed, and the roar of the impact echoed in the training The field reverberated for a long time.
Joan opened the hatch, jumped out of the mechanical armor, and saw Haakon dancing excitedly through the force field wall. Finally, someone helped him teach his arrogant sister a lesson. As a brother, he has regained some face.
Kandy was also applauding for Joan's wonderful counterattack, but he didn't have the nerve to applaud loudly just to protect Slude's face.
The steel cavalry on the opposite side climbed up with difficulty.
The cabin door opened, and Slude came out in a disheveled manner, still not convinced.
"Joan, do you dare to say that you didn't cheat just now?"
Joan smiled and confessed actively: "I use magic to strengthen the ability to predict the trajectory of the attack, shouldn't this be considered cheating?"
"This is not a spell that comes with the mechanical armor, of course it is cheating!"
"But as a mage, casting spells is my bounden duty. I have never lost the function of a mage while driving a mechanical armor. Is there anyone who stipulates that a mage cannot cast spells while driving a mechanical armor?"
Joan felt that this issue was worthy of serious discussion.
