Chapter 4: The Dance of Iron (Part II)

"Iron Giant!" On the patrol boat, the terrified Herod trembled, in front of the huge mecha knight, the patrol boat was so small.

"Launch depth charges!" The commander commanded in fear that the war machine, which the Herod called the "Iron Giant", had destroyed New Rome ten years earlier, and that in just ten years, the Herod had once again felt the horror of destruction and the humiliation of not being able to control their fate.

"Noel, don't hurt them!" In the cockpit, Ann Loste tries to stop the murderous Noel, but it's too late.

Although the Mecha Knight is not equipped with a standard weapon, the firepower on the patrol boat is completely itchy for the "Iron Giant".

An explosion of "boom" sounded.

Under the claws of the mecha knight's massive mechanical hand, the patrol boat was pinched and exploded like a paper boat, turning into a crimson flame on the Golden Horn.

The mechanical claws climbed onto the land base, and the turbine activated, allowing the Mecha Knight to easily climb the sea wall.

"Why are you... Ann Lotte asked tremblingly.

Noel looked at His Royal Highness who looked at him in shock, but his face was full of solemnity: "Your Excellency promised to protect Your Highness to the death, but Your Majesty just wants to tell Your Highness that protecting your safety is Your Majesty's first priority." If necessary, I can only break my previous promise to His Highness. And even if those thieves are killed, there is nothing to make His Highness feel sorry for. ”

Looking at Noel, who suddenly changed his mind, Ann Lotte suddenly had a feeling of being deceived. Ann Lother, trembling in Noel's arms, said in a deep voice: "Let me go!" ”

If Noel was allowed to do this, and the Herod believed that the princess and the mecha knights were involved in the massacre, then reconciliation would never be possible.

"Your Highness..." Noel, who was bent on protecting Ann Lost, did not expect that his actions had angered the person he admired the most, and asked puzzledly.

"But it's too dangerous out there. What if..."

"Let me go, I don't need your protection now. Noel. "It was the first time that Ann Loste had been so angry, and now she wanted nothing more than to stop the kingdom's repression immediately.

"I want to bring peace, not a killing machine. Noel, I don't want to see you become the executioner of the kingdom. Ann Lotter's face was full of disappointment, and she was about to open the cockpit door of the mecha and go out.

Hearing the princess's words of disappointment, Noel felt like a blow to his face. But the next moment, the pupils of those eyes, which were already dim, suddenly dilated.

"Your Highness, be careful!" Noel grabbed Ann Lost's arm and pulled her back into her car, followed by a loud explosion that shook violently. The alarm sounded again in the cockpit.

"What's going on?" The princess asked blankly, not knowing what was going on.

But Noel's face was full of solemnity. In front of him, the two military mechs that suddenly appeared greatly surprised him!

Laboriously opening his eyes from the chaos, the sharp pain in his neck and lower abdomen caused Cons Dante to let out a low cry of pain. The sturdy rope had tied itself so strong that it could not move.

Constance Dante found himself locked up in an airtight dark room.

Lying on the ground, Constance Dante struggled to get up, but to no avail, the man who tied him up was a bastard, and he restrained Cons. Dante tightly from beginning to end, making it difficult to even move on the ground.

"What a mess, Justine." In the darkness, familiar and unfamiliar voices rang out.

A cold hand caressed Considine's cheek as if a poisonous snake had slashed through it, and the sensation made Consitor and Dante shiver. Consdante's face became very ugly, and although he could not see the other man's face in the dark, he still called out the name with difficulty: "Bashires." ”

From the darkness, the handsome face that could illuminate the midnight appeared in front of Constance Dante's eyes, as evil as before, "Do you wonder why you are here?" I can kill you with all of this! The smile on the face of the blonde boy did not anger or frighten Conseidante, and for the first time, Consitor Dante was so glad that he had seen the last person he wanted to reminisce.

"Bashires, let me out. Sophia may be in danger now. Constance Dante desperately struggled to his feet. The blonde boy, however, shook his finger, "No, no, no, Justin." Now is not the time! And Sophia will be fine, so it's good for Justin to rest assured. Now a good show is about to begin, and Justin must prepare well before he makes his debut. ”

Seeing the smiling face of the blonde boy, Constance Dante's gaze became suspicious again. Every time, when he smiled like that and said something unmeaningful, something unfortunate happened.

"Why, you ghost is still haunting." Constance Dante suddenly gritted his teeth and roared with all his might, "Just like Sister Anna said, you will only bring misfortune!" Constance Dante weakly slammed his body into the blonde boy, but was easily pushed away by the other party.

"Justinian, you are still as cowardly as you used to be, believing that all misfortunes are caused by others." The two men were so close that even the sound of the teenager's breathing could be heard by Constance Dante.

"Happy people are all the same, and unhappy people have their own misfortunes. Only a coward would think so, Justin. Is the misfortune of the world the result of the coping person's own inadequacy? ”

There was madness on his face, and the boy shouted wantonly in the dark and cramped cell, every word as if he were whipping.

"It doesn't matter if it's ten years ago or ten years later, you still haven't grown up. You selfishly want to abandon everything to cover up your cowardice, but, Justine, you still have to face it. You can't escape, you can't hide, you can only conquer fate head-on. I hope you don't realize it after you've lost everything・・・・・・"

T-24 type military aircraft.

Noel's hands were covered with sweat, and he didn't expect that there were two mechs hidden in the Findel district. Although it is a standard military aircraft of the Rus' country, its performance is far inferior to its own car [Hannibal], but without a mounted weapon, it is extremely dangerous to be hit by the opponent's large-caliber armor-piercing bullets.

"How so?" Looking at everything in front of her, Anrost muttered that conflict was inevitable.

"No wonder they will start a rebellion, these Herodians are colluding with the Rus, and they can even get their hands on military mechas." Noel tried his best to remain calm and said, "Your Highness, peace can only be maintained by relying on the sword, I hope Your Highness can forgive Your Majesty." With that, Noel grasped the steering handle like a knight holding his sword, revealing an unparalleled edge.
