The edge of the royal city of Scarlet.

"The barrel is overheating!"

The kite shouted loudly over the radio from Pioneer II's machine gunner position.

It had been almost an hour since they had rushed all the way into the outer city of King Scarre.

During this hour, hoops and armored personnel carriers raced through the muddy streets of the outer city.

And behind these two cars chased countless Blood Crystal Beasts, from elk to lions to wolves.

Kite thinks that the Blood Crystal Beast he kills with his heavy machine gun can build a dozen or so zoos.

But these monsters show no signs of abating.

They come from all over the city, like ants smelling food.

The bullet casings of the heavy machine gun were scattered all over the ground, and Kite had used the performance of the heavy machine gun to the extreme in order to sweep away the Blood Crystal Beasts that had gathered in the streets.

So much so that when the barrel turned red, the kite understood that it could no longer continue to pull the trigger.

Unfortunately, at this moment, both Pioneer II and the armored personnel carrier ushered in a sudden braking for the first time.

A giant blood crystal beast with a body size of nearly six meters appeared at the intersection of the street, and the main gun of the armored personnel carrier directly blasted its head to pieces.

But the huge body of the Blood Crystal Beast also fell to the street, completely toppling the surrounding houses and sealing the path in front of it.

"Get off! Hold here! ”

The hoop immediately gave the order, and the off-road vehicle could climb the ruins next to it, but the speed had slowed down, and the Blood Crystal Beast was enough to swarm the car and completely occupy it.

When the time comes, they will turn into lumps of meat hidden in tin cans.

Kite gave up the overheated heavy machine gun and took out the light machine gun that was placed in the car ... He mounted his light machine gun on the roof of the car and aimed it again at the bloodcrystal beasts pouring in on the other side of the street, pulling the trigger.

Bullet shells splashed out from the side of the kite's cheeks, and the Blood Crystal Beasts that were surging in the distance like a tide instantly stopped!

A hurricane of bullets kept the monsters at bay ten meters away...

"Kite..."

As soon as the pictorial got out of the car, he saw a cheetah-like blood crystal beast swooping out from the house next to the street, trying to jump from behind the kite to the roof of the car... It was too late for the pictorial to kill him.

But its leg was suddenly grabbed by General Hubert, who had already gotten out of the car.

The cheetah bloodcrystal fell to the ground, its teeth wide open and biting General Hubert's arm... With a hideous expression, General Hubert drew his sword and pierced the neck of the Blood Crystal Beast.

"I'm fine!" General Hubert clutched his bleeding arm and shouted to the pictorial.

The pictorial couldn't understand him, so he ran to the other person's side and began to treat his wounds urgently.

"Another five-meter-high target appeared in the direction of three o'clock ahead!"

The sound of hoops was heard over the radio, and the kite turned its muzzle to where the hoop was reporting ... He saw a massive humanoid bloodcrystal beast.

When did it appear?

This question surrounds the kite's mind... But when he came back to his senses, he found that he was surrounded by these scarlet monsters.

If viewed from above, they had become a sea of scarlet, with the exception of Pioneer II and the armored personnel carrier.

And the scarlet 'tide' is getting closer and closer...

The worst thing is that the bullets in the magazine of the light machine gun in the kite's hand have been emptied ... At this moment, the kite heard the sound of a strange bird chirping.

Several pterodactyls hovering in the sky swooped down on him.

Kite pulled out his secondary weapon, aimed his pistol, and pulled the trigger on one of the pterodactyls, which instantly exploded its head into pieces, killing the others under the cover of their teammates.

But there was still a pterodactyl that broke through the fire net and rushed towards the kite, and the pterodactyl suddenly stabbed at the kite with a dagger-like beak, and the kite subconsciously stretched out its hand to block the attack of the bird's beak.

But the pterodactyl's beak pierced the kite's arm like a sharp knife.

"Kite!"

The pictorial immediately rushed into the interior of Pioneer II, and the kite sat in the car, his arm bleeding profusely, and the pictorial pressed his hand against the wound on the kite's arm.

"I... I heard it. Kite said to the pictorial, holding back the pain.

"Hear what?"

The pictorial immediately helped Kite stop the bleeding and began to bandage his wounds.

"The sound of a helicopter." Kite whispered.

"You're still in the mood to make this joke?!" As soon as the words of the pictorial fell, the sound of a series of explosions suddenly came from the sky.

The pterodactyls that were hovering in the sky were all shot down by these explosions...

Realizing something, the hoop fired a flare directly into the sky.

Red flares lit up the night sky, and the moment was heard... The sound of a helicopter propeller.

She slowly raised her head and looked at the sky through the machine gun position.

"Pioneer Squad! Trailblazer Squad! Support has been deployed! Support has been deployed! Please reply when you receive it! ”

There was a cacophony over the radio, and in the sight of the pictorial and the kite, a helicopter gunship appeared above ... Under the helicopter was branded a crimson flag.

The kite didn't say anything, but gave a military salute to the flag with his uninjured hand.

……………

General Hubert's eyes widened as he looked at the steel eagle hovering in the sky.

The sound of the helicopter propeller spinning had completely drowned out the sound of the Bloodcrystal Beast's roar.

He really couldn't understand how such a large steel creature could fly into the sky, even... It can also hover in the sky.

In the next second, the cannon equipped on the gunship fired a horizontal strafing directly at the Blood Crystal Beast on one side, and after strafing, it had no strength to shoot the anti-tank missile in the rocket launch nest directly at the most dense place of the Blood Crystal Beast.

The explosion and the flash of fire erupted again a few hundred meters away from General Hubert, and thick smoke rose wantonly...

When General Hubert opened his eyes again, there was not much left of the Blood Crystal Beast in front of him.

He quietly looked at the mountains of blood crystal beast bones piled up in front of him, glanced at the long sword he was once proud of in his hand, and then looked up at the steel beast in the sky.

A sense of powerlessness and loss rose from within him, but was soon replaced by a sense of joy at the sight of hope.

Because the steel beast was on their side, and in the face of this steel torrent, the blood crystal beast had no chance of surviving.
