Chapter 32: One Ride Becomes a Thousand
Honestly, it doesn't matter if there's a conductor on the beach. Everyone did the same thing, and that was to frantically weave a dense web of death fire with the weapons in their hands, blasting a large number of plants into pieces like a tsunami. The army commander who received me and Emilina didn't even tell us his name and rank, leaving only a single sentence to join the mechs and go back into the tank.
Except for the soldiers in charge of the supply, everyone was shooting desperately on this incomparably wide white sand, and this Mr. Commander was no exception.
I don't have much to say about it, because when you look at it from a distance, it's okay, and the collective charge of those dense greenery up close can definitely make people feel numb when they see it, and there are only two instincts left in their hearts for an instant. The first is to turn around and run away on the spot, and the second is to aim the weapon at them and viciously press the trigger.
At the rear of the line were the corpses of soldiers with their backs to the sea, all of whom had been killed by firearms.
Shaking my head vigorously and throwing out the messy thoughts, I faintly entered a calm state and carried Emilina to the front of the line. The steel defense line composed of a row of seemingly impregnable hammer mechs is the reason why humans have been able to hold on until now, and the defensive design that was previously intended to be used against the Federation Tiger Hunter Mecha has now been crooked, and countless plants have become victims of the hammer.
"Yo, new here?" I had just manipulated the mech to put Emilina down, and before I could raise my rifle, a distinctly teasing man's voice sounded over the radio, "I didn't say that it was a good idea to bring a girl here on a date. β
The voice sounded young, and there seemed to be no nervousness at all. I didn't pay attention to this guy, anyway, we're not soldiers, if the plant can be repulsed, I will never have anything to do with him in the future, there is no need to be close. Besides, how can a cute girl who usually stands on top of a mechanical weapon pose poss and makes her head and dress show off in the wind an ordinary civilian? It must be a magical girl who hitchhikes!
"Hey, hey, don't pretend to be indifferent and play p1ay as soon as you come up. How about learning a little bit from those strange plants on the other side?"
Which of the pilots is so noisy? Let me find out if I have to smash my rifle in the chest!
There was a dull noise in the distance that discouraged me from trying to find the other person, but it was a huge watermelon that staggered on the bridge and walked towards the beach. I'm sure the one that Emilina killed before was definitely the one that the plant had secretly transported ashore from the sea to flank the defenses from behind, but it was unfortunate that it happened to meet us.
After the failed sneak attack, did you switch to a frontal assault this time?
I don't know how strong Emlina really is, but I do know that all the strange plants that have appeared in front of her so far have been killed by this petite girl. Despite this, in the face of so many enemies in front of her, even she would not be able to do anything. The island in the distance is not an exaggeration to say that it is a city, and it is now attacking with all its might, and one person will never be able to compete with an entire army!
However, with Emilina here, it shouldn't be a problem to hold on for a few more days and wait for reinforcements.
But in the end, I realized that I was still too superficial.
The language of the empire is vast and profound, and the phrase "one rider is a thousand" to describe a strong man who has come home and the whole army is strong and strong enough to have the upper hand is undoubtedly the most appropriate word to use for Emilina at the moment.
Without saying a word, the girl drew her long sword and rushed towards the countless writhing green plants, and stepped straight onto the bridge of unknown structure under the stunned gaze of everyone! Before I could react, the surface of the bridge was already thundering and flashing with lightning, and countless plants were scattered and flown out on the spot like tattered toys, and they fell into the sea one after another, stirring up a large number of white water columns.
She's really going to rush to the island!?
In other words, these plants look like papier-mΓ’chΓ© in front of her......
Hell, let's die! Can't let a girl take the lead in the charge while I'm behind watching the play and playing soy sauce?
The mech vibrated violently, causing the screen in front of me to shake slightly. But it doesn't matter, it's all the corpses of plants that make the body vibrate during the high glide, not the attack of these curious guys. Compared to Emilina, who was rushing forward and constantly killing large swaths of cannon fodder with exaggerated sword rays, I was too relaxed here.
The hammer's mobility was painful, but it was always a mech, and I quickly approached Emilina from behind and began to support her with my rifle. It was only then that the commander's shouting was heard on the radio.
"Why are you stunned in place, why don't you hurry up and follow the two of them!?"
The voice of the flirtatious mecha pilot also rang out: "Wow, is this the legendary magical girl? That new brother, please ask her to sign an autograph and take a group photo with me after the battle!"
"No way!" I refused on the spot, without thinking about it.
Ignoring the ghostly wail and the hurried march of the troops in the rear, I followed Emilina closely. Along the way, there are many types of plants, from the most common tentacle monsters to the ranged plants of the Cos Pea Shooter. It would definitely take a lot of effort for ordinary armies to deal with these guys, but they couldn't even stop the golden girl's progress for a second, and they were already killed in seconds before they even attacked.
Not at all at a level!
The giant watermelon came into range of the mech rifle, but I didn't bother with it. The mana in Emilina's body, if it is indeed such a thing, is certainly not infinite and must be kept against the boss, and correspondingly, a mech with a lot of ammo and attack power that is just a tickle for the boss is more suitable for picking up miscellaneous troops.
However, as I continued to bombard the countless miscellaneous soldiers standing in front of Emilina, I soon had a very strict question, and I was instantly embarrassed for a while.
The barrel of the gun overheated.
Weapons of 75 mm caliber were traditionally considered artillery, but today they have been made into mecha rifles, and they are still company. The fighting was so fierce that I didn't have time to rest my rifle, so it was inevitable.
What should I do, do you want to go back? Look at the golden girl in front of her, who is obviously already hot-blooded, no matter how you think about it, she will not agree.
"Yo, new here. Magical Girl's signed photo for a brand new rifle just taken out of the supply truck and a box of magazines, why not?" The voice that really made my teeth itch with hatred rang again, "Of course, if the photo doesn't work, it's okay to exchange her signature for a titanium war knife." β
"Commander, may I kick this guy into the sea and then take his equipment?"
There was silence on the radio for a moment, and then Mr. Chief, who was slightly painful, sighed deeply: "Wang Yiping, don't make trouble, give the equipment to others." He's not a rookie soldier, but an ordinary high school student who just happened to learn to pilot a mech in the game "Frontline" using a virtual projection device, and happened to know the magical girl. β
"Uh, sir. Are you sure this guy isn't the protagonist with a small halo?"
If it weren't for this series of coincidences, we wouldn't have eaten enough, so we sat in the mecha and followed an unknown horse monkey shochu shouting and screaming and killing and rushing to the island full of strange shapes! And what's going on with that little strong aura!?
A heavy hammer mecha painted with a skull pattern on its left chest chased up from the right rear, holding a rifle in each hand, which should be the body of Wang Yiping.
He had just thrown away the overheated rifle and taken a new weapon from the other party's hand, and before he could open the safe, there was an earth-shattering roar right in front of him. The whole bridge shook immediately, but not very violently, at least it did not affect the slide.
Thankfully, Emilina, who was blocked by the watermelon, finally knew how to save her hand and didn't blow the bridge to the island away.
The momentum of the massive plant charge finally stopped, and they no longer waved rattans or branches and leaves indiscriminately and rushed forward, and they all gathered together to form a defensive position. Emmilina did not blindly attack directly, but stood quietly in place and waited for the arrival of our follow-up troops.
At this time, the battle line has been pushed to the middle of the bridge by the golden girl, and the firepower advantage of the human army on this terrain cannot be fully exerted, but ...... It doesn't matter anymore.
All eyes were on the petite girl, and when she made a forward move, they all followed closely. It doesn't matter what the order is, now all that is left in everyone's hearts is the instinct to follow behind the strong.
At this moment, the island suddenly underwent drastic changes. A huge tree grows out like a balloon visible to the naked eye, and in the blink of an eye, it towers into the sky, turning any skyscraper into a child's building block on the spot.
"I'll it. The radio was full of exclamations and exclamations, and I couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
It stands to reason that the next plot should be that after the big boss appears, the sky will fall apart and the sun and the moon will turn this place into a human purgatory, but unexpectedly, the island actually cut off the bridge and quickly retreated to the deep sea with the giant tree.
Leaving only a bunch of inconsequential cannon fodder and our stares wide-eyed.
