The moonlit sea was as calm as a giant mirror, and the swarthy mudflats were empty, without even a hint of the sea breeze. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the woods, not far from the beach, four high school students who had just broken out of a North Korean military base were sitting in a daze.

Sousuke has come out of the scarred AS, it's not that he lacks vigilance, but after a long period of continuous combat, the internal pipes and lines of this mecha have been overwhelmed, if you can't switch to cooling mode to let it rest, the next thing is afraid that it will not bombard others, but directly self-destruct.

What's more, just now he spent an extremely large amount of physical strength and energy in order to achieve those amazing combat moves, and his underwear was almost soaked with sweat, if he couldn't take a break, he might faint due to exhaustion in the next battle.

The body needs to rest, and so do pilots, so we know it's not the time to rest, but we don't have a choice.

"When will Mithril's receiving forces arrive? I don't think the North Korean army will give us much time to rest. Watching the second hand ticking on my watch, my mood became more and more irritable, "Why don't I go back now and beat them up, and save trouble!" ”

I hadn't taken two steps before Yuhiko, who was calmly reading a book in the almost dark shadows, stopped me.

"Enemy attack." The alien who looked down at the book said a terrifying line in a tone without any nervousness, "Northeast, five hundred meters away." ”

Sousuke, who hadn't fully recovered yet, didn't say a word, and one rolled over and jumped, and it took less than three seconds to get into the AS cockpit. Then the mech, which had only the cooling system buzzing, let out a low roar, and the detector in its head lit up like a human eye.

"What's the number?"

"Four."

"What about the airframe?" Sousuke asked, "RK-92 or RK-96?" ”

"Unofficial model." Yong Yan still didn't look up, could it be that he still had eyes on the back of his head?

After this period of time together, Sousuke has gradually become accustomed to Yuhiko's concise and direct speaking style, and has an intuitive understanding of his vast supernatural powers, so even if he still can't see the enemy's body, he doesn't think that Yuhiko's judgment is wrong, but considers the problem from another angle.

"ECS (Electronic Camouflage Camouflage System)?"

"Yes."

Sousuke sighed softly and raised his machine gun in the direction that Yuhiko had said.

"If you can't see them, use bullets to confirm their location! Chidori, you step back a little to avoid accidental injury. ”

When Chidori ducked behind a large tree, Sousuke attacked, and AS let out a deafening roar from his large-caliber machine gun, flickering tongues of fire pierced the pre-dawn night and poured into the seemingly empty area.

The sound of ping-pong was heard, and a strange brilliance suddenly refracted in the air, which had been nothing, and then four AS that I had never seen before appeared.

At the head was a silver-gray AS, a style that was a bit like a knight's armor magnified several times, especially the streamer on the back of the head, adding a bit of chic to the ferocious killing machine. Behind it were three black mechs, with thickened guards at the front of the body and sharp corners painted in bright red, giving it a hideous look.

"Sure enough, minions generally look more ferocious than bosses......" I sighed casually, but Chidori couldn't help but laugh out loud, she pointed at me, then at Yuhiko, and then continued to let out an uncle-like grin.

Well, it seems like I do look a little more fierce than Yuhiko......

So, in fact, I'm just a minion, this alien beautiful man is the final boss of the justice side that is deeply hidden?

The reason why I still have time to think about it is because I can't find room to meddle in the battle: Sousuke's piloting skills are very exquisite, although the performance of the airframe is obviously inferior to the other party, but he relies on his excellent operation, not only did not fall behind, but always maintained the first-mover advantage. Machine guns and rifles were used alternately, so that the enemy could not rush to the close range for a while. Although the red and black body carried an oversized rifle that seemed to be very powerful, it was never able to hit him. The armor that looked like it was a boss didn't have a ranged weapon - at least not in use.

"Sousuke did a good job." I casually said, "It's great to be able to hold on until reinforcements arrive!" ”

"Forty-five seconds."

Yes? What "forty-five seconds"?

Under my puzzled gaze, Yuhiko finally put away the thick and large hardcover book, and cast his calm eyes through the lenses of his glasses to the battlefield where the guns were boiling.

"The RK-92 will overheat after forty seconds, with a 53 percent chance of losing power and a 47 percent chance of self-detonation."

"Don't talk about such a serious thing in a casual tone!"

My roar didn't make Yongyan's 10,000-year-old iceberg face change in the slightest, and after he finished saying that, he returned to his previous state of silence - by the way, I've known him for almost half a year, and I think most of his time - twenty-three and a half hours a day, or more, is not much different from a stone, if you don't pay attention to the movement of the hardcover book and flip book in his hand, it is simply a statue of an ancient Greek "reader" salvaged from the bottom of the Aegean Sea!

The beautiful man of the ice sculpture, Yuhiko Nagato......

Although I was thinking about the mess in my head, I didn't pause in the slightest movement, dragging Chidori, who was not afraid of death in order to watch the excitement, and Yuhiko Nagato, who was not afraid of death, and dragged the two problem children behind the big tree that temporarily served as a cover, and ordered them to stay honest and not probe their brains!

Chidori is just an ordinary person, and Nagato - as far as I know, the physical strength of this "higher creature" alien is not much better than that of ordinary people, although "information repair" can be regarded as surpassing the ability of the awakened to recover against the sky, but if he is shot in the head by a stray bullet, I am afraid that the gods will not be able to repair him!

And even worse than those stray bullets flying everywhere is the imminent crisis - Sousuke's AS has reached its limit, and if it continues like this, whether the body explodes or loses power, there is only a dead end.

If I'm going to help, I'll have to solve a problem first: "Yuhiko, can you stop those stray bullets?" I asked in a low voice, "It won't take long, just a few dozen seconds." ”

"Yes."

"Then Chidori's safety is up to you."

"Understood."

But before I could take action, a mutation suddenly occurred—

The captain, who looked like a knight, had been watching the battle from a slightly backward position before, and seeing that it had taken so long for the three subordinates to take out Sousuke, he finally couldn't help but give the order.

"A bunch of rubbish! Use that system! ”

With his command, a ripple of water suddenly rippled around the bodies of the three ASs, as if they were covered with a curtain of water, and then they completely ignored Sousuke's attack and rushed forward with a roar.

Sousuke, of course, would not miss the opportunity to shoot a live target, and he dropped his machine gun almost as soon as the enemy charged, and with a rifle in each hand, he opened fire on the enemy plane that had given up on dodging and concentrating on the charge.

Unlike the RK-92 encountered before, the enemy aircraft we encountered this time had significantly improved armor strength, and the machine gun bullets could basically only have the effect of harassment, and the rifle also needed to hit the same part continuously in order to produce more obvious damage. So when he saw the enemy rushing over, Sousuke focused his firepower on the front body, and with his accurate marksmanship, five or six shots were all fired at the relatively fragile head of the mecha in one breath, but he was surprised to find that the large-caliber rifle that was enough to destroy the main battle tank didn't even rub off a piece of the paint on the opponent's body!

What's going on here? It's the same AS, there's no reason for such a big difference in performance!

"Energy Barrier." Yong Yan, who had been watching from the sidelines, suddenly spoke, "Interstellar Voyage Age Technology. ”

Before I could ask what the so-called "energy barrier" meant, an even more incredible scene appeared: the captain's plane, which was still far away from Sousuke, suddenly raised his right hand at Sousuke, who was hiding behind a tree. Ripples that were clearly visible to the naked eye came from the palm of its hand, and these seemingly ordinary ripples contained extremely amazing energy, and with one blow, it broke the waist of a large tree with a diameter of more than one meter, and Sousuke behind the tree couldn't dodge, and was blown up, and with a loud ping-pong sound, he fell on a big tree not far from us.

Even the high-tech crystallized AS could not withstand such a violent blow, and the entire body of the RK-92 emitted a piercing sound of electricity, a series of electric sparks, and then struggled like a human before he died, and then fell silent.

"Sousuke!" Chidori and I exclaimed in unison.

Before he could finish speaking, the AS cockpit popped open, and Sousuke crawled out of it with a little difficulty, and there was no blood on his body, but it seemed that he had been severely concussed and a little dizzy. It seemed that he was going to jump, but when he landed, he stumbled and fell directly on the slightly muddy ground.

Strangely, the silver-gray AS did not launch further pursuit, and even the three ASs that were assaulting slowed down, just holding rifles, and surrounded us from a distance.

What exactly are they going to do?

Under our suspicious gaze, the silver-gray AS approached unhurriedly, scanning us as if it were a hunt for prey.

"Kasium, you look really ugly now......" The voice that I had heard several times came from the speakers of the body, rude, rude, and mixed with disgusting arrogance, it was the leader of the robbers called "Kowloon", "I really didn't expect that you, who became a battlefield ghost at a young age, would have such an embarrassing moment." ”

"It's a shame." AS faithfully reflected the driver's movements, as if shaking his head with pity, but from Kowloon's voice, I couldn't find the slightest regret, all of it was smug and arrogant.

Kasium? Is it a pseudonym that Sousuke used to use? Or is it his nickname?

Sousuke, who was lying quietly on the ground, coughed twice, spat out a mouthful of bloodshot mucus, and stood up with some difficulty in holding on to his body, which had lost power.

"I didn't think about it, why are you bastard still alive?" He didn't show weakness, and looked up at the Iron Giant coldly, "I'm sure that shot hit you right in the eyebrow!" ”

The silver AS laughed and pointed with his left hand at his forehead, where the scars on Kowloon's face I had seen before.

"Hee-hee...... Due to an old injury, I had a titanium plate buried in my skull. And although your shot hit, the bullet unfortunately grazed the alloy plate and flew away, so I saved my life. Then again...... It's really nice to meet again in this form. It's good, it's so cool! ”

The shrill laughter echoed in the woods, and one could imagine the ugliness of Kowloon's triumph at the moment.

"Hmph, you've become very energetic......

"Yes! Thanks to you, many things have happened since then...... Hee-hee, I have a lot to ask you, but it seems that the time is not early. I'm busy, and after killing you, I still have work to do with that girl's brain—" The silver-gray AS turned his head to look at Chidori, who had just rushed to Sousuke's side, "'Whisperd''s head is like a mysterious treasure, and finding valuable information from it is like a treasure hunt......" Mixed with a sense of disgusting nostalgia, Kowloon became talkative.

"What do you mean by that?"

"That girl's head is loaded with bizarre technology called 'black technology', and many new inventions beyond the times, including AS, have come out of this, including the λ-Driver on my 'Hell Knight'. If we can complete the research, maybe even nuclear weapons will lose their strategic value......"

“…… What the? "Except for Yuhiko of the 10,000-year-old iceberg, we all exclaimed.

Chidori, who seems to be very ordinary, has such amazing information stored in his head? Why is there such a thing in the brains of earthlings that should be in Yuhiko's head? Could it be that she is actually an alien who has fallen to Earth?

"You don't seem to know anything...... However, I don't want to talk nonsense with you anymore. Tell the boatman in the River of Hell for me, 'There's a group business to be done soon.'" Kowloon no longer had the meaning to speak, took two steps back, raised his left hand, and motioned to his subordinates to raise their guns and aim, "Die!" ”

Just like the scene that often occurs when a martyr is righteous in movies, the muzzle of the three black holes is aimed at Sousuke.

"Sousuke!" Chidori screamed in fright, "Don't! ”

Well? The title has changed from "Sagara-san" to "Sousuke...... Does this mean that the favorability has gone up a notch? Well, you can't think about it anymore, it's really going to be bad if you don't make a move......

However, I still didn't find a chance to strike this time, because before I could rush forward, a fierce burst of gunfire had already come from the sky, and then with the multicolored flashes of flowing water, one after another M9 AS, which I had been accustomed to seeing on the "Son of Danu", appeared in the air in a jet parachute, like a divine soldier descending from the sky.

The three red and black miscellaneous planes were torn to pieces by the heavy artillery fire almost instantly, and the silver-gray captain plane that Kowloon was riding relied on his excellent reflexes to rush into the woods at the first time and escape.

However, the next thing he has to face is Mithril's superior forces!

One, two, three...... There are a total of six M9s, the gray-green airframes are lined up, forming a fan-shaped posture to encircle Kowloon, their styles are slightly different, each holding a different weapon, obviously there is a division of labor - in other words, these airframes are all modified according to the pilot's specialty, it is a real special aircraft, by no means ordinary minions can be compared.

"Hey, Sousuke, did you get moved to tears when you saw us arrive in time?" Standing in the back of the M9, holding a large sniper rifle, Cruz's flirtatious laughter came, "Yo-huh, the cute little angel is also there-Xiaoyao, long time no see." ”

"Cruz, you're too late." I complained on behalf of Sousuke, who was exhausted and needed to rest, "Could it be that I was talking to a girl and forgetting the time?" ”

"Cruz?" Chidori also knew Cruz as a member of the bodyguard trio - but she knew "Cruz the handsome violinist who lived nearby" instead of "Cruz the chief sharpshooter of the Mithril organization's Western Pacific team......

"Hey, that's me." Cruz laughed, but the muzzle of the gun aimed at Kowloon did not let up in the slightest.

"So, you guys really ......" Chidori's face was very complicated, in addition to surprise and relief, there was also a vague excitement.

"As I said earlier, Sousuke is a real special forces soldier - didn't you believe what I said until this moment?"

Chidori smiled awkwardly, looked left and right uneasily, and then lowered his head and explained, "Sousuke...... It looks like an avid military enthusiast; Nagato-san was extremely silent, and it seemed that his nerves were a little abnormal; And you're just an ordinary delinquent teenager no matter how you look at it......"

Although what you say is true, haven't you heard the proverb "If a person has a strange appearance, he must have a strange ability"?

"Actually, it's not too late to know now that we're not lying......" I held Sagara in one hand and walked towards the beach.

The giant submarine "Son of Dennu", which rose from the sea, sent a ship to meet us.

"Kowloon, surrender!" In the M9, which was in the first place on the left, the majestic voice of Major Kalinin was heard, "You have lost." ”

"Hee-hee...... Even you timid old man jumped out! I really caught a big fish this time......" Kowloon, who was under siege, did not feel the slightest uneasiness, and still laughed so wildly, I don't know if it was the madness before he died? Or is there something to fear?

Yuhiko suddenly raised his head, looked at the sky in the southwest, and whispered, "Enemy attack, Thirteen." ”

What the? No way!

Before I could scream, a piercing whistling sound was heard, and several missiles flew in with lightning speed with a loud sound of tearing through the air.

All I could do was quickly knock Sousuke down.

A few tenths of a second later, where we were, first swept past a shockwave that leveled even a large tree in an instant, and then surrounded by a storm of flames that could melt even metal.

Relying on the spiritual shield that was sent out in time, my hearing was not injured by the shock wave, and I was lying on the ground, and I clearly heard the sound of heavy metal falling to the ground, accompanied by fierce artillery fire and fierce sword collisions.

Obviously, the soldiers of Mithril are engaged in a fierce confrontation with the reinforcements of Kowloon.

Unfortunately, I could only see a sea of fire around me, and I couldn't see the scene in the distance.

At this moment, what we need is-

"Yuhiko, can you help me put out the fire?"

"Yes."

With these calm-as-usual words, the raging flames continued to decrease like a movie stunt, and finally turned into wisps of green smoke so thin that they could barely be seen.

Yuhiko stood calmly in the black ash that also rose blue smoke, and behind him was Chidori, who was unharmed but still in shock.

Looking behind him again, I saw exactly what I had guessed: a fierce battle between the black-red AS and the gray-green AS.

In terms of individual strength, Mithril's pilots obviously have an advantage, but the number of enemies is more than double that of them, and the performance of the aircraft is not inferior, although the pilot's ability is slightly worse, but the numerical advantage is enough to make up for this gap.

"Boom!" An M9 had just smashed an enemy plane at the waist with a weapon that looked like an ancient war knife when it was hit by artillery fire from the side, and half of its body was smashed to pieces and fell out.

It was Kowloon who attacked it!

Cruz roared angrily, and a shot hit the AS cockpit, but it was blocked by the ripples that were like a curtain of water, in vain.

In fact, up to now, most of the damage to the Mithril organization has come from Kowloon. That armor-like AS has a very strange ability, and that kind of "ripple" is used for defense, which is really impregnable; And for offense, it is undoubtedly invincible. The latest model of AS is so fragile and powerless in front of it that it is no different from a toy, just like a cavalry charging at a tank, and can only helplessly usher in the fate of defeat.

"Humph! It's too shameless to use this kind of goldfinger weapon! "I unbuttoned my uniform, which had been torn in many places, and tossed it aside.

Since you use the golden finger to modify the weapon, then you can't complain about us cheating!

Spiritual power, burst!
