On the other side, on planet Xenomorph 1, Ringo was using the communicator given to him by Ames to contact her.
It didn't take long for Ames' virtual figure to appear, she seemed clearly curious and interested.
-Ringo, have you found Aesop?- She asked in a calm voice, but he could sense a slight longing in her tone.
-Not exactly.- He began, causing Ames' mood to drop slightly.
-Oh, so what was it?- She asked, her interest waning.
-Black Spider found Carroll and got into a fight with him. I wanted to ask how you want me to proceed.- Ringo said.
He didn't really need to warn Ames, but Carroll is a thorn in Ames's side, so contacting her under the pretext of asking what to do is actually a way of asking for credit.
The thinking is simple. -I can beat him up for you, come and enhance our relationship.
Ames's eyes blinked for a moment before a slight, curious smile appeared on his lips. -Explain further.
Ringo quickly explained the course of events, then awaited her response. Ames glanced at Ringo's virtual figure on her communicator for a brief moment, her curiosity growing.
-Are you confident?- She asked.
Ringo just gave a toothy grin, even though Carroll's level is higher than his and there's only one clone there, Ringo isn't worried at all, mechanic? Hehe, he's a Nightmare!
Ames understood that smile as soon as she saw it, her mood improving even more. Knowing the cautious and paranoid personality of this fellow, he wouldn't get into fights he couldn't win.
-Then beat him up good!- She gave a simple order. -Record it for me, I'll send it to that annoying guy.
Ringo shook his head, it was Ames's face. She didn't ask him to kill Carroll, she only said to hit him. She expected Ringo to understand. If he doesn't understand, so what? Even if Carroll dies, she is Ames, the Dragon Emperor! When did she start worrying about things like consequences?
-Okay. - Ringo agreed and Ames hung up immediately afterward.
Ringo imagined that if he had an interface, he would have received a mission like: "Revenge of the Dragon Emperor!"
On the other side, the clone had already received the news, so he stopped dodging Carroll's attacks.
Trax and Rick had already run away with a clone of Black Spider, he made it so that if this body died, it could be reborn nearby.
Carroll didn't mind much, but he let some of his machines follow them, when he dealt with Black Spider, he would go after them.
Black Spider raised his bow, charging it with energy and began firing while moving to dodge the cannons.
The bow fired dozens of shots at once, all with a force similar to Carrol's, if he fired more shots, the force would be too low, if he fired fewer shots, the force would be better, but Black Spider was targeting the fortress's weapons, planning to disable them.
He could simply launch spiritual attacks, but it hadn't yet come to the point where he had to show those cards, after all, he didn't plan to kill Carroll. If he used this, Carroll might take the information back to Heber, who could then protect himself against Ringo in the future.
Psychic attacks are the weakness not only of mechanics, but also of pugilists.
Besides, the goal was to give Ames a break, if he simply hit this guy with one attack, it would be far less visually impressive than destroying him in an all-out fight, which is why he was waiting for Carroll's machines to arrive.
It quickly turned into a guerrilla war, but Carroll wasn't worried, even though he lost weapons, they were quickly retracted and more came out to continue firing. Besides, his ship was almost arriving, at that moment, his troops would be overwhelmingly larger.
Lasers and energy arrows flew everywhere, Carroll's artificial intelligence quickly calculated Black Spider's movement patterns, but unfortunately, just when it started to adapt, Black Spider adapted even faster.
Ringo's evolutionary power made Black Spider's analysis process even greater than Carroll's, aside from Ringo's precognition working alongside him during the fight, Carroll couldn't hit him even once, leaving the man slightly frustrated.
The battle area was rapidly expanding, hundreds of meters were suffering constant damage, the smell of burning mixed with wet earth filled the air, the land was devastated as the large fortress focused on the small point, wandering across the field firing arrows constantly.
The fortress quickly became riddled with holes and burn marks, the smell of burnt metal spreading rapidly, increasing Carroll's irritation.
Black Spider was somewhat surprised to have caused so much damage to the fortress, he remembered that Carroll's fortress was so strong that Han Xiao had barely managed to scratch it, but the next moment he thought of something.
Maktru.
Carroll's future weapons had already been upgraded with Maktru, so where would Carroll use most of the Maktru he acquired? Of course, in his fortress that he carried with him at all times!
Despite the constant damage, it was evident that Carroll was not weak, the fortress was not only passively destroyed, but constantly repaired itself. Inside the fortress, Carroll remained confident that in a guerrilla war, he would not lose, Black Spider's energy would run out before his own.
Furthermore... he saw the signal from his ship almost here. Black Spider also saw the ship approaching and knew that Carroll's ship had finally arrived.
As soon as the ship arrived, a large number of machines began to roll out, leaving their compact state, the field was rapidly filling with all kinds of war machines, turrets, mechanical soldiers and floating jamming devices.
Carroll's fortress also underwent changes, the great fortress quickly began to transform before his eyes, soon turning into a giant mechanical soldier. The soldier pulled a large sword from his back and raised his other arm, a gigantic shield rapidly forming as he advanced towards Black Spider.
Black Spider gave a soft whistle, slightly impressed. He wasn't the type to get excited by giant robots, but he still had to admit that this looked pretty cool, like seeing a real-life Transformer.
Carroll grinned as he covered the field with gunfire. Black Spider had nowhere to run now, more and more machines fired at him and the field of evasion steadily decreased.
Black Spider also knew that the time had come.
His eyes stinged, the next moment he vanished from Carroll's sight, leaving only a faint trail of purplish smoke.
Carroll was shocked, but the sensors easily located Black Spider.
Directly above the fortress, Black Spider was completely serious. He channeled energy into his bow with all his might, forming an extremely hot, dark red arrow. He used almost all his energy on it.
But that wasn't all, in the next moment, his energy surged forward, covering several hundred meters. The evolutionary energy field directly affected Carroll, at that instant, all of his Super energy froze, his machines lost their class bonus instantly and Carroll's eyes widened.
He opened his mouth to curse, but didn't even have time.
Black Spider, or rather, Ringo felt like being a little chunibyo, so in the next moment, he only said one word while firing the arrow. - Caladbolg!
