Under a cloudless sky, Los Angeles, West Coast, USA.

After the war brood "Skynet" rebelled against humans, the roar of war brought by the robot army resounded through the core of this huge metropolis.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"Boys from the Fourth Detachment!"

Dressed in blue and white, with sharp edges and corners, just like Iron Man's first enemy, under the burly steel mobile armor that is very similar to the "Iron Overlord", Captain Tom James shouted angrily.

"Check your EM rifles and follow me!"

The energy particle jet under his feet spewed out a surging stream of dark blue particles, which made the 9-foot-tall steel giant soar into the air lightly, flying to the intelligent heavy artillery bunker behind him that was five meters high and three meters wide, completely solidified by nano-liquid alloy, and the Marvel World American national emblem "Winged Bald Eagle" on his chest exuded dazzling brilliance under the scorching sun.

"The situation on the front line is very critical now, and we must immediately go to Los Angeles 42nd Street to build a defensive line!"

The helmet, with its long, sharp horns split in all directions and slipped into the neck of the armor.

Tom James looked sharply at the 600 heavily armed and helmeted in front of him, dressed in a very similar "war machine" presented by Tony Stark to his friend James Roddy, Army recruits from the 4th Brigade of the 12th Division of the American Army from Stark Industries.

"Bump!" "Bump!" "Bump!"

Several plasma shells from the front line flashed through the sky, one of which hit the skyscraper next to the fourth detachment, blasting the middle of the building into a huge hole.

"Click!" "Click!"

This huge building hundreds of meters high, half of the floor on the hollow gap, because of the lack of support points, with strong winds and huge debris, collapsed in the direction of the fourth detachment!

Huge shadows obscured the sky of these mobile suits, like a meteorite falling from the sky and the Alps crushing the top of the natural disaster, making these young Americans who had not yet experienced the real war in an instant messy formation.

fu*ck！

Looking at the smoke and dust floating in the sky, this veteran who had participated in the invasion and defense of the alien Kitari cursed secretly in his heart.

The area he was in was now nearly a hundred kilometers away from the heart of the fierce fighting, on the periphery of the third nanodefense chain, and it stands to reason that the steel skeletons could not have advanced the battle line to this area so quickly.

Could it be that ・・・・・・ this soldier, who had really experienced the battle of life and death, shrank the corners of his eyes suddenly.

Is something wrong at the front?

He raised his stout steel right arm, the blue energy core light on his chest flashed suddenly, and a scorching particle cannon with incomparably arrogant power rushed towards the building fragments in the sky, instantly blasting it into countless scattered fragments!

"Stand still! American lads. ”

Captain Tom James came to his senses, stopped his thoughts, and shouted at the recruits in front of him.

The short black hair, which was as sharp as a steel needle, brought a different kind of courage to this US Army officer who was not yet 30 years old and a man with rich combat experience.

The threat in the sky has been lifted, and the obedience inertia brought about by the training of recruits has allowed these American Marine soldiers to quickly recover from the panic just now.

"Our loved ones are right behind us!"

"Our country is right behind us!"

"Los Angeles is our last major military stronghold on the West Coast, and we can't afford to lose it!"

The huge arms of steel swung in the sky as Captain Tom James spoke.

"So, it's time for us to behave!"

"For the glory of America, put those rebellious steel skeletons."

"Broken into pieces!"

This action, which showed the strength of the soldiers, accompanied by Tom's rough words, ignited the passion of all the American Army recruits in front of this huge steel giant!

These young recruits chanted in unison!

"Yes! Sir! ”

"For the glory of America!"

"Long live America!"

"Kill those damn robots!"

・・・・・・

With the recruits chanting, Captain Tom James' helmet protruded from the shoulders of the steel armor and wrapped around the American man's head.

"Commander Tom James!"

Incredibly detailed 3D images of the city of Los Angeles, lit up with a virtual screen inside the helmet.

Tom James's ears heard the neutral voice of the "Taling U-12" intelligent command system imported by the US Department of Defense from the British Empire.

Only the Imperial "Taling Series" intelligent system, which integrates the power of runes, can completely defend against the network invasion of the war Skynet!

"Department of Defense, Los Angeles Theater Order No. 35!"

"Take your squad to ・・・・・・"

As the captain listened to the order, a pale blue stream of particles began to brew under his feet, and even the hundreds of American Marines behind him were spewing under their feet, and their commander was suspended in mid-air.

Start ・・・・・・

However, accidents always happen inadvertently, and the neutral voice in the Colonel's ears is like pressing an ancient cassette tape and suddenly stuck.

"Commander! Limit Energy Reaction Detected and Compliant with Level 5 Reaction Regulations, Please Retreat Immediately! ”

The images in front of him all turned a blinding blood-red, and the huge body with its own alarm roared in his ears.

"Commander! Limit Energy Reaction Detected and Compliant with Level 5 Reaction Regulations, Please Retreat Immediately! ”

"Commander! Limit Energy Reaction Detected and Compliant with Level 5 Reaction Regulations, Please Retreat Immediately! ”

The shrill siren made Captain Tom James look up quickly.

However, the spectacular scene that suddenly appeared in front of him, filled with the breath of death, stunned this soldier with an iron will.

With a blinding light that is more powerful and shining than the flames at the very core of the sun!

"Boom!"

The deafening roar with powerful light radiation destroyed countless buildings in the urban agglomeration of downtown Los Angeles, USA.

"Damn, what did those hell-deserving machine traitors do!"

In the eyes of the body's multifunctional electronics, the shock wave was almost visible to the naked eye, and it came from the central city of Los Angeles in front of them, which was also the core of the war with the most intense explosion before!

"This is, this is a nuclear ・・・・・・"

Captain Tom James barely had time to say a sentence before the shockwave swept backwards like a fly.

But what he said was right, the glimmer of light coming from the core area of the battle was a nuclear weapon!

Those magnificent buildings that shone with bright stars in the past and represented the most prosperous scene of capitalism were so fragile in the face of the ultimate and most powerful destructive nuclear weapon possessed by mankind after entering the industrial age -- the "nuclear hydrogen bomb・・・・・・

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

In the azure outer space layer of the earth, a huge space warship at least five kilometers long with the imperial emblem on the outer wall suddenly appeared.

The long streamlined hull, paired with the gray-silver cylindrical hull, brings a touch of incomparable domineering to this latest generation of space battleships of the British Empire!

Countless Arcanist R-8 air-space fighters, which have been updated to the sixth generation, are sprayed out at the landing port of the battleship.

Like the sharpest knives, they brutally shoot down satellites hovering in outer space and eroded by the war sky.

In the bridge of the space battleship with a high bulge in the center of the battleship's hull, a young man wearing a purple robe and a silver-edged spell casting robe stood quietly in the central command room.

The cold eyes stared out of the sturdy, transparent skylight at the top of the bridge, the sudden rise of the white glittering specks on the west coast of the United States of America.

"Young people now!"

"Throw mushroom eggs if you don't agree with each other!"

"This time!"

"How many more creatures will die?"

Raphael Edwin, the current authority on necromancy in the wizarding world, had a grim smile on his lips.

"I'm really looking forward to it!"
