The Mech Touch

Chapter 6671 Setting a Trap

Given the circumstances of the upcoming confrontation, Melkor decided to lay an ambush.

After all, why try to set up a spell array in the middle of a battle while phasefighters were shooting the mechs that carried the crucial formation anchors?

The chance that something would go wrong was too great!

One of the first lessons that a formation master needed to learn was that when one wanted to employ a spell array proactively against an enemy, it was best to employ them as traps.

By setting a trap in advance, the formation master would be able to take the time to calculate the right placements without any urgent time pressure.

Another factor that played in his favor was that the absence of fighting meant that the chosen battlefield remained relatively static.

If energies started to spew in every direction while asteroids were blowing up, Melkor may be forced to redo his calculations as his previous ones were no longer accurate anymore.

While Melkor learned that more advanced formation masters would be able to

compensate for these changes on the fly, right now he was still just an auxiliary qi cultivator. His prior practice up until now only made him a little smarter and allowed him to multitask better. These improvements were far from enough for him to perform dynamic calculations in the middle of a battle!

"I have just sent out the coordinates along with instructions on where you need to place the formation anchors. Do your best to get close to them as possible and place the objects as precisely as you can relative to my mech's position. Do you understand?"

"What if there is an asteroid in the way?"

"There won't be. If you look at the locations corresponding to the coordinates, the anchors should be buried just below the surface of different asteroids. Make sure to cover up the digging as best as possible. It is unlikely that the alien craft will be able to detect anything unusual when our mechs will attract all of their attention, but let's not make this easy for our enemies."

The mechs carrying the formation anchors proceeded to split up so that they could bury the metal pillars into each of the designated asteroids.

Melkor had selected them carefully according to the calculations performed with the help of his mech's formidable processors.
