Chapter 1001: Section 648: Eastern Observations (Part 4)
Malin was very satisfied with the destructive power of the large mortar, the only dissatisfaction being its range—it was too short. For the Mecha, it was not a problem, but for the infantry, among the wounded in the trench line in front of Malin, most were injured either by the shockwave or by debris from various chaos parts falling on them.
According to old Kay, after he was knocked over, a leg fell from the sky and hit his face, causing him to faint from holding his breath. He only woke up after being transported to the hospital when the battle ended.
Kazdoff’s little brother, who visited, said that old Kay snored loudly, causing complaints from soldiers in the same ward, and was woken up by embarrassed him.
Malin’s Mecha made the Eastern Kingdom’s military very envious, but considering they were really out of money, Malin finally recommended them the No. 1 Mecha. Although it had a semi-exposed cockpit and its weaponry couldn’t compare with Malin’s unit in terms of lethality, after confirming the efficiency of the No. 1 Mecha, the Eastern Kingdom still spent money to buy a squad of six No. 1 Mechas from Malin. Moreover, Malin not only sold them six additional Mechas at a half-price but also helped them replace the shoulder equipment for free, installing a 60mm thick bulletproof glass in front of the cockpit.
These days, technology makes thin glass a challenge, but producing thicker glass is not a problem.
And this time, it was heard that the Crown Prince of the Eastern Kingdom would personally lead this Mech Squad to avoid last time’s embarrassing situation of artillery being ’given’ to the Chaos.
This indicates that the pressure on the royalty is immense. Although the Eastern Kingdom has not yet embraced Northernism, in today’s era where everyone can carry a gun, the nobles surely understand how cheap their lives are—sometimes, their lives are only worth a bullet.
Speaking of which, although the Dwarf Great Craftsman expressed some confusion about why the Eastern Kingdom would buy outdated equipment, Malin told him that as long as they demonstrate a strong suppressive power against the Chaos Infantry in battle, this Mecha is useful. In Malin’s view, those powerful chaos units naturally require their No. 6 or No. 7 Mecha to counter, and some even stronger guys need Legends for confrontation. Fundamentally, these low-model Mechas are designed to combat Chaos Infantry.
