Chapter Ninety-Six: Target Lock!
Unlike other "overhead demons", the "Karakuri Daughter" is a very special existence.
Once Mei Lian's "Overhead Demon" is determined, it will not be changed, even if it has been a hundred years and thousands of years, with the exception of "Karakuri Daughter". Because of the characteristics of the puppet, she leaves plenty of room for modification and upgrading. The Karakuri Daughter herself (the Demon) is also quite keen on self-upgrading.
It is said that when it was first born, it was only equipped with cold weapons such as guns and swords, but now-
Well, let's put it this way. Before entering Fuhailin, Shinji thought that he could barely be regarded as a mobile fortress, but compared to the "clever daughter" behind him, he was a scumbag.
Look at the two pairs of four mechanical swords she's attached to her arms, no, they're long since out of the concept of a sword, but a mechanical chainsaw capable of slicing through the earth.
Look at her special load-bearing wheels instead of her feet, which is the spiritual heritage of the Type 59 tank, which is enough to adapt to any terrain.
Look at the muzzle of the cannon when she lifts her gown (open the armor plate), it's definitely a dream of the "Multi-Turret Cult".
More is beauty, big is good.
Caliber is justice, turret is truth.
Tens of millions of turrets, tens of millions of starlight.
Look at her beautiful metal body, slim and smooth without losing the edges and corners, and the highly layered design - cough cough, I'm sorry, because the cute points of the "clever daughter" all hit Shinji's "good ball area", so his "soul of steel" has been overlit.
Her appearance has changed the style of the battlefield from a struggle between prehistoric monsters to an ultra-modern fantasy collision.
"Woo oh oh !!oh oh oh
In the exclamation of a certain heavy mecha control, Mei Lian waved his blurred right hand lightly.
"Come on. ”
"Understood!"
The inside of "Karakuri's daughter" comes out with a synthetic sound full of metallic texture, with no emotional fluctuations and no temperature, which perfectly fits the painting style of Ji Niang.
"Target Lock!Fire!"
In the next second, the mechanical girl roared in unison with countless cannon muzzles all over her body.
A series of deafening explosions followed.
One round, just a salvo, dense in the distance, the endless crazy trees were swept away.
Then, the mechanical girl raised her left arm, and the two mechanical chainsaw swords rotated wildly, and a nearby giant tree shattered along with the earth and the sea of fire.
If the existence of Fuhailin symbolizes primitiveness and backwardness, then the "clever daughter" is the crystallization of civilization and the sharp blade that crushes ignorance and backwardness. Just like the distant gods, the human beings who are still in a state of ignorance are led by heroes to go to unknown wildernesses, forests, mountains, and rivers, fight against nature, and fight for the future of mankind with their own hands and rudimentary weapons.
The situation on the battlefield has reversed.
A few minutes ago, it was Fu Hailin who suppressed the "King of the Continent", and now it is the "Karakuri Daughter" who suppresses Fu Hailin.
The reason is still those four words - the difference in physiognomy, and the restraint of "clever daughter" to Fu Hailin is all-round.
Fuhailin is a blood-sucking plant that feeds on flesh and blood. "Karakuri Daughter" is a metal puppet, fleshless and bloodless, and her weapons are made of metal and various explosives. Conceptually, gold and fire are the two major dependencies of human beings to conquer nature.
It is no exaggeration to say that most of the tricky characteristics of "Fu Hailin" are ineffective against "Clever Daughter", and it is reasonable that there will be such a result.
As the creator of the Overhead Demon, Mei Lian is obviously also very aware of the characteristics and power of the "Karakuri Daughter", and there is a reason why she didn't use it in the first place.
After a salvo and a sweep to clear the trees, the giant machine girl activated the weight wheel and rushed forward, completely ignoring the owner and the master's companion who was injured in the right leg next to her.
"Stop, stop, stop!!"
Mei Lian shouted anxiously, and the master's aura on her body lasted less than a minute before disappearing.
However, no matter how he shouted, Ji Niang had no intention of stopping, and continued to gallop forward, so angry that Mei Lian's face was red.
"This simple-minded fool!"
That's right, that's why Mei Lian is reluctant to use "Karakuri Daughter" because it's too stupid.
I don't know if the puppet is born with low intelligence, or if there was a problem with Mei Lian's design, it looks like a cold goddess, but in fact it is mentally retarded and rigid. To use a metaphor, it's like an old-fashioned printer that presses the pause button and still doesn't stop printing, or like the oldest film projector that doesn't stop until you finish a roll.
The so-called flexibility is almost non-existent in her, and Mei Lian will let her get on her. As for the next order, I'm sorry, I'll wait until I'm done with the first one.
Looking at the "Karakuri daughter" who was getting farther and farther away from him, and looking up at the sky again, Mei Lian said helplessly:
"At this height, the 'King of the Sky' can't use it, Karen, you carry me, we must catch up with that fool as soon as possible!"
"Yes, Lady Mei Lian. ”
Karene threw away her weapon and staggered over.
"How can you carry people like this? Take care of yourself first, Mei Lian will leave it to me. ”
Before she could get closer, Shinji had already taken the first step to put Mei Lian on his shoulder and winked at Shier. The latter quickly reacted, picked up Kalian in his hand, and chased in the direction of the "Karakuri's daughter".
Karakuri doesn't move very fast, and as she penetrates deep into the forest, the resistance of the trees increases significantly. Although it can't do any effective damage to the metal-covered Mecho, it slows down her movement speed considerably. It didn't take long for Shinji and Shiyer, whose physical fitness was far beyond ordinary people, to catch up.
As soon as she approached, Mei Lian ordered loudly.
"Open the door, hurry up!"
Because the order to "open the door" did not conflict with "go up", the "Karakuri daughter" carried out this order.
The armor plates on the abdomen, which looked like ornamentation, opened to the sides, revealing a glimmer of light. In the bright light, a telescopic suspension ladder extended downward, and the other three people were stunned.
"Can you still hold people in there?" asked Shiyer.
"Why not?" Mei Lian asked rhetorically, "Originally, it was designed as a 'war fortress for Dead Apostles', and it can not only hold people, but also all kinds of demons. Don't grind, get in!"
"Ahh
Unable to be surprised, Hierre concentrated the few remaining magic powers on his feet and jumped towards the telescopic ladder that had not yet landed.
Shinji followed, and after more than ten seconds, the two rushed along the suspension ladder into the abdomen of the "Karakuri daughter".
Then, the ladder was retracted, the gate was closed, and there was no more flaw in the fortress of war.
PS: According to historians, many myths and stories of heroes fighting giant beasts, including the Epic of Gilgamesh, are the epitome of man's struggle against nature. The so-called Divine Beast and Demon Beast may just be a strong beast king, and those heroes are only the most powerful warriors in the tribe, when their bravery is praised and their exploits are sung, and then they evolve into myths.
PS2: There is no doubt that mushrooms are loyal fans of machine warfare, there are too many of FGO's treasure animations are NETA machine battles, and the professor's seems to be the sharp brother of the Grim Reaper under the moon who loads the machine soldiers, Da Bi Chi is Gu Lansen's black hole cannon, and the swimsuit Ken Niang is Zeng Jia's ship chopping knife, and there are many similar. Of course, the most direct embodiment is the mechanical dragon lady, and the earliest "clever daughter" - the machine girl Saigao!
