Incinerator Energy Headquarters.

Compared to the hot appearance on the outside, this place is much colder and quieter, probably because of the heavy defense, the guards can't help but be affected by the atmosphere and rarely speak.

Inside the sturdy underground fortress, Broad watched the images and information displayed on the various screens in front of him, occasionally contacting the regional leaders to make adjustments to their actions, and leaving the rest to the commanders within the group to handle themselves.

'The 3rd Mecha Team broke through the A3 area and arrived in the A2 area, where it was intercepted by a small number of enemy personnel and is being processed. '

'Area B5 is being bombed, coming from the B1 area behind the enemy, and is currently being relocated and looking for a suitable bomb shelter. ’

'The central commander sent an application, hoping to call in the rear long-range rocket to clean the enemy's bell tower C2 position. ’

The various voices sounded one after another, and Broad dealt with it methodically, but it made him feel a little tired, after all, he had been highly nervous all day.

It seems that the commanders on the front line have to be delegated for the time being, and it is not a good thing to hold on to it on their own, so they must save some energy.

With this in mind, he called his adjutant and prepared to go to rest today.

I took off my headphones and leaned back on my chair to close my eyes for a while, when the door of the conference room opened, and I walked in with light steps, although the sound was not loud, it was very obvious in this empty and quiet room.

Is the adjutant coming, Broad was about to get up, but suddenly he felt that something was wrong, his adjutant's footsteps would never look like this, so he opened his eyes suddenly, and his body rolled down from his seat.

With both hands nimbly pulling out the pistol from under the table, Broad rolled over, and then half-crouched on the ground to aim and shoot.

The whole process went smoothly, and the bullet also hit the figure in the room, but it did not have the desired effect.

The pale blue barrier appeared in the air, and the bullets were embedded in it, unable to move forward, and then the barrier shattered, and the bullets fell with a clattering sound.

Behind the barrier was a not tall figure, and she did not hide her appearance, but stood there quietly, raising her hand lightly, and the faint blue light and sand appeared in it, floating like a blow, and Broad froze in place, turning into a stiff and motionless statue.

Looking around, the girl looked at the environment with a little curiosity before approaching Broad, taking the gun from his hand and setting it aside.

"Are you the leader of the Burning Iron Energy?" The girl's voice was very clear, like a spring in the mountains, and she could hear that she was not very old, and she had a kind of youthful beauty and softness.

"I am." When he was finally able to move, Broad took a few steps back and replied with a frown.

Although he was very jealous, the girl didn't seem to have any intention of killing him, and he didn't want to provoke the other party to cause any accidents for the time being.

"I'm sorry to visit suddenly, but I have some ideas that I want to share with you." Sitting across the conference table, the girl spoke, her eyes level at the man in front of her.

"You can talk about it." Broad's mood eased slightly, and he sat down again.

"I hope you can stop the war immediately, sit down with the Black Hammer for peace talks, and then negotiate the future of Lebianne."

"Truce?" Broad shook his head slightly.

"The truce is not something we want to stop, this young lady, don't be too naïve to think about it, the situation between the two of us is like riding on the chariot that slides into the abyss, unless one side completely falls, the chariot will not stop."

"The conflict will not end with a truce, and the current situation allows only one industrial group to survive in Lebian." If it weren't for the unpredictable strength of the other party, he wouldn't have the patience to explain this.

"I know, the reason for your conflict." The girl on the other side was not surprised.

"The continuous decline of the entire North 2nd District has led to the gradual shrinking of the market, and you, as the only remaining industrial group, are also facing overcapacity step by step, if you want to survive, you can only destroy your competitors, right?"

"Now that you know it, why would you still make such naïve suggestions?"

"yes, that's naïve." The girl seemed to sigh herself.

"Still, I'd like to try."

"Because, even if you defeat the Black Hammer, the future will only be a slow death, the population of the North 2nd District will never recover, the Federation will not support it, and in the end, it will only be a few years later."

The black-haired girl sat on the chair, with a blue dress and blue eyes, although her figure was not tall, she also had a faint momentum.

"What's the matter, it's not your turn to worry about a little girl." Broad was a little unhappy about this, and by this time he had already contacted the guard's power with the help of a button under the table.

The ceiling of the conference room suddenly opened, and one by one the warriors in black infrared skeletal armor fell, they picked up the rifles in their hands and fired at the figure in the seat, and at the same time, a dozen or so soldiers erected explosion-proof shields to cover Brod's continuous retreat.

After a burst of fire and smoke, the chair that had been placed at the conference table had long since been swept to pieces, but there was no trace of blood, and just when everyone was surprised in their hearts, Broad met the black-haired figure again in front of the retreat.

Compared with just now, she was undoubtedly much more temperamental at this time, her black hair was reflected in the firelight, and her hand was slowly raised, and the blue crystals condensed to form a silver blade.

"Fire!" The captain of the guard immediately gave the order, and another storm of metal bullets followed.

The dense bullets were tilted, but these bullets were all fired in the air, and the figure of the girl in front of her flickered, as if she had turned into a virtual body, through these metal storms, and directly attacked the close-quarters.

The silver blade was like a dance in his hand, and the blue dress swung with the blade, the movement seemed to be unpleasant, but it brought a faint blue phantom, as if there were three people fighting at the same time, and the sword arc brought up by the swing of the sword slashed on the exoskeleton mecha with shining sparks, and as she approached step by step, one by one the elite warriors fell.

"This ......" Looking at this amazing scene, even the well-informed Broad couldn't help but be surprised.

The other party definitely doesn't have a sequence 6, maybe not even a sequence 5, because the fluctuation and amount of the Ai Ji card particles are not large, but in terms of the use of magic power and combat skills, this one has almost reached the peak of his acquaintance, and it is difficult to imagine that the other party is a young man who is not even 20 years old.

Such a genius, he had not even heard of it, he would never be a local resident of the North Second District, and even in the Central Star Domain, such a genius was estimated to be extremely rare, how could he appear in such a remote corner.

"Who the hell are you?" Seeing that the other party was approaching step by step, and the strength of the guards around him was getting less and less, Broad couldn't help but speak.

"Me?" The girl on the other side thought for a moment and was about to answer.

"Z-" A stream of crimson-hot particles shot through the ceiling and into where she had just stood, drowning it out.

Two crimson mechs tore through the structure of the ceiling and fell into the underground fortress, the galvanized metal shells reflected the surrounding fire, and the power system inside the mechs roared, pushing them to tear through the surrounding steel metal structure with their mechanical arms, protecting Brod in the middle, and then leaping quickly and rushing out of the ground.

Just as Broad was taken out of the ground by the mecha and breathed in the cold air of the night, a faint blue point of light also rose from the ground and appeared in the night sky.

She's not dead yet? Hit directly by the mecha's high-energy particle cannon, how did she dodge? Broad was caught off time for a moment, and at this time, the mecha on his side also started a second round of attacks.

First, the machine gun on the shoulder swirled rapidly, and the bullets drowned the tiny figure like a storm, and then several fiery pillars of light flashed in the night sky.

Although the momentum was huge, these were like cannons hitting mosquitoes, and they did not hit the nimble and changing figures.

"It's a tough guy, but you're just alone." The warrior at the helm of the mecha stared closely, and the chip on the helmet automatically locked onto the wandering figure according to the focus of his gaze, and then fired a succession of shots.

First there were two mechs, and then the twelve mechs guarding the headquarters all stood at various vantage points to shoot, and the sky was as lively as fireworks blooming.

After such dozens of seconds of uninterrupted firing, the mech's firing module began to overheat and its frequency declined, but the figure in the sky still did not fall.

It turns out that the extreme strength of these mecha can only reach this level, Ti Lan silently analyzed in her heart, feeling a little disappointed, she originally thought that it would be very difficult, but it seems that this kind of old model of fourth-order mecha still has a lot of flaws.

After the novelty passed, she didn't delay any longer, and her body continued to rise, like a shining morning star.

The Aeka particles in the atmosphere became sluggish and halted at this moment, and the mecha that had been roaring and roaring was also as dull as a flame, and these Aeka particles were silently suspended in the night sky, and then re-condensed.

In the night sky, the black-haired and blue-eyed figure hovered in the firelight, in the midst of thousands of fluttering fireflies quicksand, and then these firefly quicksand turned again, as if outlining the traces of the wind, the trajectory of the stars, they continued to converge, and finally formed a huge moon.

Stop, condense, the strings of time, the sound of emptiness......

Eventually, a gray full moon appeared in the sky, and under its reflection, the hoarfrost spread across the land, and everywhere it went, the mechs stopped running, and the guns were muted, and the war-torn land was covered by the ripples that spread outward under the full moon, and gradually became quiet.

"Damn, what the hell is going on." The front line, which was originally fighting, was shocked that the guns in their hands suddenly went silent, and then they were angry when they saw that the enemy who was close at hand could not attack, but the other party also had a similar expression, unable to counterattack and crush the enemy.

However, when they found that this was not the only thing they had, but the whole city gradually fell silent, only the sound of sporadic flames still continued, and the original gunfire and artillery fire in the city slowly stopped.

"It's over...... Is it? ”

A badly wounded soldier slowly crawled out of the corner, his legs had been blown off, he was already desperate to die, and he didn't want the situation to seem to have changed, which also made him rekindle some hope, and struggled to find the emergency medicine in his arms, spraying it on the broken part of his leg, forcibly enduring the pain to disinfect and stop the bleeding.

The civilians of the city heard the sound of artillery fire and gunfire outside, and finally mustered up the courage to carefully open the doors and windows to watch, and guess the reason for the truce.

"Look at that, look at the sky, the moon."

Compared with what is usually seen, this gray full moon is extraordinarily huge, and there is even an illusion that the moon is close at hand, giving people a huge sense of oppression, and in this cold full moon, a black-haired girl is quietly bathed in the moonlight, with a faint moon mark appearing on her eyebrows, overlooking the city.

She closed her eyes slightly, and felt the new and unfamiliar feeling.

Although it is not the first time that she has used her own natural abilities, today is very different, this is the first time she has combined two talents with each other to use them together.

The 'Bridging Crystal' that represents condensation, crystals, healing, and repair, and the 'Sound of Time Strings' that represents the singer, time, dyeing magic, and influencing people's hearts.

Originally, the 'Bridging Crystal', which only affected himself and a few objects around him, was difed and dyed by the 'Sound of Time Strings', and a large number of Ai Jie Ka particles also came with their own natural characteristics, which also gradually covered the entire city.

In this way, everyone should be able to listen to my song and future with peace of mind.

Just as the girl was about to convey her thoughts and thoughts to the people of the city, a violent roar broke the silence again.

Under the headquarters of 'Burning Iron Energy', the structure that had been closed for many years slowly opened under the gate of mechanical power, and with the twisting of gears and the sound of the cylinder of the steam engine, the underground elevator that had been sealed for a long time was slowly pulled up, and a different kind of mecha slowly appeared on the surface.

The silhouette of the mecha resembles a human shape, but the joints of the human body are never like this, the calves and feet are covered with heavy armor, the rear is eight spouts on each side, and the thigh part is slightly thinner, so that the lower body of the body forms a stable trapezoidal shape, and the core parts of the body in the center of the body are very symmetrical compared to the developed limbs, roughly elongated hexagonal prismatic, and the armor on the shoulders is extraordinarily thick, and it can be seen from the appearance that it is equipped with heavy weapons.

The main color scheme is gray and white steel, but the edges, shoulders, and head are painted with blazing red, giving people the illusion that steel is burning, the exaggerated structural distribution, and the sharp edges and corners, all of which have the atmosphere of the war era, unlike today's mainstream mechas, because of the changes in social climate, the edges and corners are smoother and more comfortable.

When the mecha was pulled to the top by the rotating elevator, the elevator frame slammed into the rusty structure, making a clanging sound, and finally stopped, and then the indicator lights on the surface of the mecha also lit up one by one, as if it suddenly came to life.

'Sixteen detachments of the Third Fleet, codenamed 'Burning Iron-6412', applied for a sortie. The old voice rang out in the cab, and then the atomic furnace in the center of the mech's chest activated, the orange-red spiral lit up, and then gradually rotated, and the blazing flames erupted violently towards the center, and they were firmly restrained by the position.

Finally, an orange orb appeared in the middle of the chest, and the energy it emitted continued to spread throughout the body, lighting up the circuit-like patterns inside and on the surface of the body, and the abundant magic fluctuations gradually overflowed, and the whole body was like a small sun, emitting suffocating light and heat, making the steel structures under and around the feet slowly melt.

Even though everything around it shook and blurred in the scorching air, this particular mech was still intact, and there was even the illusion that this was just the beginning.

A huge stream of orange-red heat erupted from the back of the body, feet, and shoulders, causing the heavy body to gradually break free from the constraints of gravity and rise into the air.

"Finally, we did it."
