Chapter 373: Persistence (I)

The roar of artillery fire was accompanied by the deafening sound of explosions, and the battlefield was already in chaos.

The Marine Tank Unit, which restarted reloading and firing under the commander's order, poured its artillery fire in the direction of the Mirror Puppet, but Dinah opened his huge shield to stop all the attacks, and the non-stop bombardment lasted for tens of seconds, and the Mirror Puppet who was protected behind him was unscathed.

"How so??" Seeing Dinah intercept the artillery fire of the Marine Army again and again, Kaiya obviously found it difficult to accept what he did, "Is even Dinah blinded by them?" ”

"Hmm..."

Captain Hibi clenched the lever tightly, but stared at the giant's figure without speaking.

Without the captain's order and the fact that Kaiya was reluctant to attack, the Beta did not participate in the attack, but just hovered in the air, as if looking for the right opportunity to the outside world.

At this time, the mirror image puppet, which had been rejuvenated by the mysterious light repair in its body, slowly floated, and did not look at Dinah in front of him, but just turned around and continued to march towards the coastline.

Captain Hibi's brow furrowed, and he was about to order the Beta to continue attacking the Mirror Puppet.

His attitude is very clear, even if he wants to be an enemy of Ultraman Dinah, he will never allow the mirror puppet to merge with the frontline Crystal City!

However, before Captain Hibi could give the order, Dinah, who was defending against artillery fire, had already grabbed the mirror puppet's arm first, and used all his strength to intercept the mirror puppet that was about to leave.

At this moment, all the people who are paying attention to the battlefield are nervous.

However, Dinah only stopped the mirror puppet from moving forward, and did not attack it, which made most people breathe a sigh of relief.

But Dinah paused, the shield lost its blessing, and it could no longer withstand the artillery fire of the Marine Army, and countless shells instantly bombarded Dinah and the mirror puppet at the same time along the established route!

'Boom-'

Seeing that Dinah was hit, many land tank drivers subconsciously stopped the fire output.

Despite this, the continuous roar lasted for more than ten seconds before it could be calmed down, revealing the figure in the fireworks.

The Mirror Puppet's crystal body has amazing defense, and he doesn't care much about the fire of the land tank, but Dinah is different, in a sense, he is only flesh and blood!

The shells of a land tank are enough to deal damage to Dinah!

Seeing that Dinah, who was suddenly attacked, involuntarily let go of the mirror puppet that was restraining him, and fell to one knee and gasped, while the mirror puppet without containment continued to advance regardless of it.

"Hunting Ya, stop it!"

Seeing this, Captain Xibi no longer hesitated, and gave the correct order as soon as possible.

"Understood!"

After answering the call, Hunting Ya immediately released the Flying Eagle Missile, which had already been prepared for launch, and the entire six Flying Eagle Missiles came out of the box and headed straight for the Mirror Puppet that was slowly advancing!

“!”

Dinah, who was relieving the pain in his body, was shocked when he saw this, and regardless of the faint pain on his body, he stretched out his hand and released a blue light whip that swept into the air, but he underestimated the speed of the Flying Eagle missile, and after barely shooting down two, the remaining four Flying Eagle missiles all crashed into the arms of the mirror puppet!

'Boom-'

A deafening explosion sound was heard simultaneously, and the 'crackling' sound of the crystal being shattered was incessant, and then in Dyna's stunned gaze, the mirror puppet's originally intact crystal body was covered with horrific scars!

"Did you succeed..."

Captain Hibi narrowed his eyes and whispered as he looked at the mirror puppet whose body had been blown apart.

Unfortunately, although the mirror puppet looked very badly injured, it was not to the point of losing its mobility, and at the same time, the endless light in the body reappeared, and began to repair the wounds on the mirror puppet.

"This guy, is there an immortal body?!"

Kaya couldn't help but curse.

The Beta's twelve Eagle missiles have all been launched, and there is no ability to intercept the Mirror Puppet until it is reloaded.

The supply points that can be loaded with Flying Eagle missiles are still supporting the front line along the coastline, and the ammunition of the land tanks is not enough, so it is too late for the Beta to rush to reload and return.

Dinah was stunned as he watched the light in the mirror puppet's body continue to repair its shattered body, and felt bitter in his heart.

He was one of the few people present who knew what the light meant, and he blamed himself for not being able to prevent it from happening.

But the sound of artillery fire woke him up again, and now was not the time for him to blame himself!

Before he even had time to unfold the barrier, he saw Dina leap swiftly in front of the mirror puppet, and with open hands and his body, he intercepted the fire from the land tank.

With a low and muffled snort of Dinah's pain, the originally dense artillery fire gradually weakened, and finally quietly stopped.

It has to be said that Dinah's past struggle to protect the earth was not in vain, and every desperate battle he fought to the death added a bit of respect to his people's hearts.

At least in the hearts of the younger generation of TPC fighters, Dinah is worthy of their respect.

As a result, even under the reprimand of the commanders, the sound of artillery fire gradually stopped.

This made Gondo staff angry and helpless, even if he had arranged for his direct personnel to go down to lead the team, this kind of subconscious thing in the human heart was always difficult to grasp.

Having been given a moment of respite, Dinah lay on the ground and gasped, a single shot of artillery fire might only make him hurt a little, but under such dense and non-stop fire, he felt that he might be almost at the limit...

As if in response, the chest timer began to turn from blue to red, making a crisp sound with a distinctive rhythm.

The crisp sound echoed throughout the battlefield, and almost everyone present who heard the sound knew in their hearts what the pleasant sound meant to the giant.

It's really not the right time.

Asuka, who has transformed into Ultraman Dinah, smiles bitterly in her heart.

But that's not the worst case scenario.

Compared to the flickering of the colored timer on Dinah, a sight in the distance is more striking.

In the faint sunlight, three mirrored puppets shimmered with dazzling brilliance were rushing from the sky towards the battlefield, and behind them, the outline of a huge crystalline city was visible.

It's a mirror puppet from the front line!

"This, impossible!"

It was hard to believe what he saw with his eyes, and the already gloomy Gondo staff officer was like being struck by lightning.

Originally, there was no battle report for Sabo Lijia for a long time, and there was even a hint of luck that the front-line battle was going well, but it was ruthlessly shattered with the arrival of the three mirror puppets.

The Black Storm team led by Rika Zoba did not succeed in annihilating Crystal City!

For this, Sabo Riga herself does not want to refute anything.

In the face of this situation, no matter what you say, it is too pale.

Indeed, the lightning tactics they executed at the beginning were a great success, and they had even managed to defeat two Mirror Puppets at that time, and although it cost her heart-wrenching casualties, the destruction of the Mirror Puppets was undoubtedly extremely inspiring for the entire battle situation.

However, despite the tactical success, the captain of the Black Storm team seems to have been poor in terms of luck.

Most of the broken mirror puppets fell to the surface of the sea and were successfully recovered by the salvage troops in the underwater diving operation, but a small part of the circular sphere crystals that resembled eyeballs were dragged back to Crystal City, and then in the stunned eyes of everyone, the circular sphere and the peeling crystals of Crystal City were combined again to form a new mirror puppet!

This Crystal City is not only a fortress of 'Asmantis', but also an arsenal of mirrored puppets!

Zobo Lijia only had time to come to such a conclusion, but the reorganized mirror puppets no longer entangled with them, and instead collectively moved quickly in the direction of the square!

Although Sabo Rika didn't know the reason for the actions of the Mirror Puppet and Crystal City, she couldn't watch them return to the city, otherwise all the preparations and sacrifices made before would be meaningless.

It's a pity that the mirror puppets who are eager to return do not intend to fight with the Black Storm team led by her, and for the attack launched by the Black Storm team, the mirror puppets can avoid it, and if they can't avoid it, they use their sturdy bodies to carry it.

So, Sabo Rika was also fortunate to see the scene of the mirror puppets slowly repairing under that magical light...

What Sabo Rika didn't know was that the mirror puppets came back to help their compatriots, and even put their clan in danger for this.

This is what 'Asmantis' has repeatedly emphasized and has been repeatedly overlooked—a system of ideological integration that has no strife or contention with each other, and it is in this system that Asmantis will put all his members at gunpoint of the enemy in order to save a few of his countrymen.

It may be difficult for Gondo to understand this 'stupid' way of thinking, but in a sense, this may be the kind of system that people like Captain Kibi and Director Fukami want humans to achieve.

However, Gondo didn't want to know any of this, he just wanted to know what his Black Storm team was doing.

As the vanguard, the three mirror puppets quickly rushed to the side of their compatriots who had fallen to the ground waiting to be repaired, and immediately launched an attack on the tank troops on the ground without hesitation!

White light bullets condensed from their hands, and the land tanks on the ground were activated, trying to dodge the attack from the Mirror Puppet, but under the eyes of the three Mirror Puppets, the hope seemed very slim.

At this moment, Dinah dragged his tired body and slowly blocked the front of the tank troops, and the giant who was in pain from the attack of the human tank was full of determination.

People began to lose comprehension of the giant's idea of not allowing humans to attack the Mirror Doll or to harm humans, what exactly did he want to play in this war between Asmantis and humans?

But no matter what he wants to play, at least for now, he is still the hero who guards the earth and protects humanity.
