After receiving information about Aircraft 3, Captain Shepard readjusted his tactics: Team A retreated with humanoid weapons and covered the Osiris's departure from Manhattan Island after a round with Lynd.

Barth, the captain of Team A, who had been ordered to do so, immediately led the men in the direction of the Osiris, but no matter how they went, the elusive "howling dog" would suddenly appear at the next junction and attack them, thanks to the fact that its newly equipped shield was already in tatters.

"The enemy is too familiar with the city!"

"Leave that guy alone, keep going!"

Edward had moved to the next sniper point, and before this hiding point was destroyed by Anton, he fired several shots, the trajectory of which grazed the left side of Team A, driving them in the direction of the former NYU. In the tense situation of being harassed by the "Shadow Howler" and followed by the 3rd plane, Team A ran in the direction Edward wanted them to go without thinking too much about it.

"Hey, idiot!"

Anton destroyed Edward's sniper point for the third time, and this time Anton shot more accurately, almost hitting the 3rd machine. Edward cursed, jumped to the ground and began to chase Team A.

"It doesn't matter if I can catch a captive, they have to send me money obediently!"

The Osiris no longer plans to continue its entanglement with the No. 3 aircraft, and plans to leave after containing Team A. Edward saw this, and hastened his actions.

He thought to himself, "As long as I get to the ruins of NYU, I can find a way to trap them, soon!" ”

"Howling Dog" kept reporting to him on the direction in which Team A was moving, and he became more and more confident as Edward wished. However, he was so focused on Team A that he completely forgot that there was still one person on the ground battlefield. Just as he was speeding through the next intersection, another humanoid weapon suddenly appeared from the other side of the intersection moving at high speed. The pilots of the two bodies did not expect that they would meet at this intersection, which was naturally a collision. The No. 3 aircraft was directly knocked out, and the No. 2 aircraft that suddenly appeared was also plunged into a huge crater.

Edward, of course, did not know that the black mech that collided with him and his No. 3 machine were "ten swords", and he got up and removed an iron pipe attached to his back. When he held the iron pipe in both hands, the tail end of the iron pipe was elongated, and the head shot out short laser blades from three different directions, which was the "three-pointed two-edged gun", the special melee weapon of the No. 3 "Jiro God".

"Bastard, die!"

Edward leapt to his feet, pointing the head of his spear down, intending to stab the body that had fallen into the crater. What he didn't expect was that Di Rao's reaction speed was also very fast, and while standing up, Lin Ao took out the two laser halberds attached to his back, which was the first time he used this new set of equipment in actual combat.

The laser blade of the halberd and the laser blade of the three-pointed two-edged gun collided, making a "zizi" sound, and both of them reacted to seeing the laser blades collide once, and they were actually a little scared, and each took a few steps back.

Edward held the three-pointed two-edged gun in front of him and asked unceremoniously, "Hey! Two horns, how do you also have laser weapons? ”

Lin Ao also put the two halberds on his chest: "You are driving the No. 3 machine of the Ten Swords, right?" This is the No. 2 machine. ”

"Oh, so your body is worth a lot of money, right? The whistling dog is back and has changed his goal! ”

"Uh-huh???"

Lin Ao thought that Edward would open the net after knowing that the two of them were driving the same type of aircraft, and maybe he would be like Luke, the pilot of the new Oumei No. 4 plane. Rand sprouted friendship, he never expected Edward to seize the No. 2 machine and sell it for money!

It's late, it's fast. Edward actually threw the three-pointed two-edged gun like a javelin, and as soon as Lin Ao dodged, he saw Edward draw his laser sword and slash at it. I don't know why, Lin Ao used this set of laser halberd equipment called "Dian Wei" very easily, he blocked Edward's knife with the branch of the right halberd, and stabbed the No. 3 machine with the left halberd, Edward did not dodge.

"Hmm! Have real skill! ”

Edward wanted to retreat, but the left halberd branch that Lin Ao stabbed out turned to aim at the waist of the No. 3 machine, and as long as Lin Ao pulled it back, the abdomen of the No. 3 machine would be cut open.

"Surrender!"

"Think beautifully!"

The key is that the "roaring dog" is killed at any time, and it is the first time that Lin Ao has seen such a weird-looking machine; If this thing is armored, but the elder has four legs; If it were a dog, but without a head or tail. He was still stunned, and the laser rifle on the back of the whistling dog fired, and it stands to reason that Lin Ao would not be able to dodge this shot now, but Edward pushed Lin Ao away at this time, allowing him to escape.

"You? Saved me? ”

"Save you? I'll be caught up in the shooting of you just now! ”

Edward ran up to the Howling Dog and swapped his laser rifle with the rifle on the Howling Dog's back, as the one he had was not suitable for close-range gunfight. His effort in changing guns was enough for Lin Ao to put away his halberds and replace them with rifles, but Lin Ao didn't dare to fire now, and he planned to go to Team A for support.

"Don't try to run!"

In order to catch the No. 2 machine, Edward has given up the plan to round up Team A, so he naturally refuses to let go. Edward passed by the Church of Grace as he chased Lin'o, and he subconsciously glanced in the direction of the church, and suddenly stopped.

"How is the door open? Didn't I tell the priest to close the door and hide? ”

The Grace Church is one of the few buildings in New York City that is still in good condition, so many refugees are living in hardship based on the church. Edward crouched down to inspect the door of the church, which was clearly marked by a forced opening.

"Hey! Is there anyone else in there? ”

Because he was still piloting a humanoid weapon, Edward couldn't see what was going on inside the church. In order to figure out the situation, Edward actually jumped out of the cockpit.

"Hey! I ask you! Anyone? ”

There was no voice in the church that answered him except his echo. Edward looked down and saw a man in a black robe lying on the ground, so he ran anxiously over to it.

"Hey, isn't it? Feed!! ”

The old man lying on the ground was the one who had always been called a priest by Edward, who had been working in the church of Hell's Kitchen in New York, and had disciplined Edward who was mischievous when he was in charge. After the destruction of New York, the old man has been helping refugees at the Church of Grace.

"Hey! Geezer! Geezer! Father!!! ”

Edward shook Lao Rao's body vigorously, and he didn't stop until he saw the gunshot wound in the old man's chest.

……

By this time, Lin Ao had already run a long way, and he turned back to find that Edward had not continued to chase him. In the middle of the gloom, I heard a HER radio from the direction of Staten Island, south of New York City:

"Edward of Manhattan Island. Tyras, Edward of Manhattan Island. Tyras. We are HER Unit 503 in North America, and you attacked the Imperial forces stationed in New York in retaliation for taking away the illegal inhabitants of the Church of Grace Gathering. Tomorrow at noon, you come to Staten Island with Ten Swords No. 3 and surrender to our army, or we will execute those illegal residents, and if you don't come or try to resist, we will also execute! This message will be repeated 3 more times. ”

"Edward of Manhattan Island. Tyras, the ...... of Manhattan Island"

"Hahahaha, I see, I see, so ......"

Edward walked out of the church and wiped his tears from his cuffs. He glared viciously in the direction of Staten Island, clenching his fists.
