[The Commander is really a strange person.]

She actually wanted to be friends with us. 】

The 86s began to talk about Rena.

Because before Rena, no one in all the Caucasian controls would want to know the names and more information of the 86s, so basically every 86 is a code name, and once you become friends with the 86s and get acquainted with them, you may feel broken by the death of the 86s.

Perhaps for them, it is the best choice not to treat 86 as a human being, and they don't have to have any psychological burden.

What is there to communicate with drones?

But Rena is different, she actually wants to be friends with the 86s.

Moreover, through special perceptual communication devices, we have a certain understanding of each other, and we have become familiar with each other over time.

I don't know why, Massaharu Yamada always felt that this scene was familiar.

Ay?

Isn't this how I usually use RTT to chat with strange girls?

Although we can't see each other, it's very easy to chat, and sometimes I dream at night, and Yamada also fantasizes about what the other person looks like in my dreams.

Speaking of which, the chat software invented by Pokeni has brought some strange changes to his life.

He suddenly realized that although for the players, Rena and Xin players could see it, and they had long been accustomed to the [battle report exchange] between the two of them after each battle, but for the two of them in the game, one of them was fighting on the front line.

The other commander in the rear, although he could perceive synchronously through the array, did not see each other, and he could not know what the other party looked like.

Proper online chat behavior!

As if he had discovered some important truth, Massaharu Yamada silently opened his mouth wide.

……

86 people are very annoying to the white line, but under Rena's subtle influence, they have gradually changed their opinion of her.

Since he didn't know what Rena looked like, the smiling fox Sail specially drew a picture for her.

The picture shows a white-skinned pig wearing a princess's long dress.

It's really a fat pig head with two big ears and a warped pig nose.

When he saw this scene, Massaharu Yamada almost burst out laughing.

These guys are so funny, aren't they?

Miss Rena, who is so beautiful and moving, is forced to draw a sow.

However, with a princess dress, why is there an indescribable cuteness?

It's really weird.

……

[Chapter 22: Voices of the Dead.]

Victory Condition: Enemy Destroyed

Defeat Condition: We Are All Destroyed]

86 In this game, there is a little bit different from the Fire Emblem series that Yamada Masasharu knows, in which if a character in a certain level is defeated, then he is really killed.

You can't use this character in later levels.

However, in 86, the characters can be resurrected, which means that being defeated in battle does not mean death, only in the plot, like the first level, they will die.

It's been more than 20 chapters.

The corners of Yamada's mouth raised slightly, and he had never experienced such a smooth game made by the old thief of the ancient plains.

With the exception of a few unfriendly soldiers who died in the first level, there have been no fatalities in the entire 86 Vanguard so far.

What should I say, is the old thief of the ancient plains really changing from evil to good this time?

And Jun Asaeda's script doesn't seem to be a halfway knife man.

The sweetness and warmth made Masahru Yamada feel very abnormal.

This time the combat mission was somewhat special.

Because with the patrol in the opening shot, a bunch of mecha that Masahru Yamada had never seen before appeared in the rear of the battlefield.

It can't be said that I haven't seen it, and the shape seems to be no different from the Imperial Legion that fought in the past, but in terms of color, these guys are all mecha with a pitch-black body and a darker color.

And the blood bar on the top of the head also has a certain change, the color is not only red, but also a small black bar in it.

Masaharu Yamada couldn't help but wonder, what are these black strips for?

However, there is no kung fu to manage so much, and the task of this level is to completely destroy the enemy.

At the beginning of the game, it was still the same as before, Rena carried out fire reinforcements, chatting with team members while deploying the combat system.

Massaharu Yamada operated one by one and advanced to the front line.

After destroying the sleek metal mechs in the front row, he soon encountered the first black-body mecha.

Sim the Undertaker rushed into the enemy camp and had just made an attack.

There was a wail on the television.

"Ah...... I don't want to die, I'm still young. ”

"Help me."

Massaharu Yamada was stunned for a moment, and at first he thought it was the voice of the team members, but he clicked it one by one, and found that it seemed that the voice actor was not quite right.

Moreover, once the cursor leaves Sinyenozan and goes to Kaye or Kujo, as long as it is not on Sin's God of Destruction mecha, no similar sounds will be heard anyway.

But as soon as he returned to the bitter wail, the wail rang out.

"Help me, Mom, I miss you so much, I don't want to die."

It's a girl's voice.

It can't be Sin's hair.

"I still want to live, Mina, I love you." It was followed by a man's voice.

"Why, why did I die? Why weren't the white-skinned pigs who died? ”

"Damn white-skinned pigs, let's come to the front line to die, and they themselves enjoy themselves in the back, really unwilling, so unwilling!"

"I don't want to die, I don't want to die, I'm only 16 years old......"

At this moment, Masahru Yamada suddenly discovered-

The targets from which these voices came from could be none other than those black enemy mechs.

Masasharu Yamada was stupid.

What is it?!

At the same time, Rena, as the commander, was also terrified.

"Nani? Here's what's going on?! Why, why are there so many voices? Sin, what's going on? ”

Tears were rolling in Rena's eyes, as if she could hardly bear the impact of these voices.

Seriously, Massaharu Yamada also felt like his head was going to explode.

"These are the voices of the dead." Sinyenozan explained.

"Voices of the Dead?" Rena lifted her teary eyes, unable to comprehend what he was saying.

"The Ziyad Empire was destroyed nine years ago," Xin responded, "so the Legion mechs we're dealing with are basically completely artificial intelligence products.

However, the central processing unit, also known as the electronic brain, has an upper limit of lifespan when it is set, so when the time comes, these guys will automatically be scrapped. ”

The Ziad Empire has built many mechs, which are real drones.

Through Xin's introduction, Yamada Masaharu learned that:

The empire has long been destroyed, to be precise, the royal families of the Ziad Empire have been destroyed, they have been destroyed by the rebellion of their own people, the rebellion of the nobles, and the loss of control of the drones.

Now the army of the Empire is nothing more than a group of monsters with obsession and killing under the command of machines.

But their goal remains to wipe out other federations and states.

However, there is a flaw in these mecha at the beginning of the setting, and the lifespan of the central electronic brain is only about 10 years.

This is also the reason why in the Republic of Santa Magnolia, those white-haired commanders can still get drunk and dream every day, without any worries.

Because in their opinion, as soon as the time comes, these mechs will perish due to the destruction of the electronic brain.

What's more, the current legions seem to be brave in battle, but in fact they don't have much intelligence.

It's more like a swarm of locusts, which only know how to attack in waves and send them to death.

"But it's not."

Xin explained, "The Legions, although they are a group of cold machines without [intelligence], we have also noticed changes in them in the last year of combat.

A more intelligent mech unit has appeared in the Legion.

Before the end of the life of the electronic brain, they look for alternatives. ”

Hint paused and said, "Take the human brain, for example." ”

Ha?!

Yamada's heart jumped.

Nani?

What did I just hear?

Using the human brain as the core system of the mech?

"To be precise, the brain structure and information of the 86 people who died on the battlefield are transformed into the core of the mecha through scientific and technological means, and used to act as the [brain] of the mecha."

Xin was expressionless, and said terrible things very calmly, as if he was saying the usual homely meals.

It seems that I have long been used to it.

"I've had a near-death experience before, no, maybe I've already died once, so I'm able to hear the voices of the dead.

I'm sorry to make you tired. ”

Because perception is synchronized, the sound that Sinenozan can hear, Rena can hear.

No wonder this is the case......

Massaharu Yamada finally got an idea.

"Such a legion mecha will become more intelligent and more [humane], we call these mecha that have been transformed and have the human brains of 86 people [Black Sheep]

Those who have not had a brain transplanted are called "Aries"

However, because most of the 86 in the battlefield died in battle, their brains were not complete, so even after being transformed into mechas, they would not have complete consciousness and thinking ability.

There is only the infinite pre-death grudge in their hearts, and this obsession will stay with them until the mecha is destroyed with it. ”

Yes!

No wonder!

Now, Masaharu Yamada finally understands.

Why is Sin, as a mourner, going through the tests of his teammates after they die in battle, and then filling their brains?

Just to prevent them from becoming black sheep and turning into undead mechs with only ultimate resentment.

I see.

At this moment, Yamada Masaharu recalled the scene in the first level, and a tremor stirred up in his heart.

……

P does not mix all the sounds at once, but through orderly playback, so that players can hear every sentence clearly.

The last unwillingness and resentment from the mouth of the undead seemed to emanate from hell, as if something was clutching Yamada's heart and making people breathless.

Rena's pupils dilated, her eyes out of focus, and she seemed to be unable to bear the sounds she heard on the battlefield from the depths of hell.

"Ah......h

The white-haired commander, for the first time, cut off the perceptual synchronization device, fled.

Xin sighed silently, "Control No. 1 cuts off the connection, and the undertaker takes over the command." ”

"Yes." Everyone responded.

At the same time, everyone's faces were almost the same expression-

"Stronger than Rena, but eventually ran away?" Kujo said.

"Like the commanders before her, she's still a coward." But Rena has never been particularly fond of the white race, and can even be said to dislike them to the bottom of her heart.

"There's no way around it, after all, if you can hear the voice of the dead, that kind of impact, no one can stand it. What's more, Rena is just a simple girl. The brunette Kaye smiled.

……

In this level, [Black Sheep] is really difficult to beat, and their stats are higher than ordinary White Aries.

And it feels like Masahru Yamada is really a driver sitting inside.

Once 86.

When attacking, the appearance of the driver of the [Black Sheep] will appear in the lower left corner.

The girl with short red hair, with a pale face and heavy dark circles, looks like a zombie, and will let out a wail when attacked.

"It hurts.

It hurts.

Am I going to die? ”

"Don't kill me, I still want to live."

"Who are you, aren't we all the same people, why do you want me to die?"

These are the 86 who died on the battlefield and were then transformed into mechs by the Legion.

In order to free her, the actor took a knife and directly exploded one of them at close range.

The rest is being sorted out one after another.

After about two rounds, Commander Rena was back online.

In the middle of the battlefield, the communication digital logos of the members of the vanguard team also lit up.

"I'm sorry guys, I just ran away." Rena's sobbing voice resounded.

It was obvious that Rena must have cried just now.

Seeing Rena's face, Masahru Yamada couldn't help but feel happy in his heart.

The crowd reacted in much the same way.

Originally, I thought that the white race, the simple eldest lady, the weak and simple poor worm who had never been on the battlefield, would definitely run away from the battle like the previous commanders, and then collapse and leave, but I didn't expect this girl to be so brave and strong.

The sound of the dead is not something that everyone can afford.

The kind of direct impact from the top of the soul is extremely terrifying.

However, at this time, after a short period of self-healing, Rena still chose to return to the battlefield and fight with everyone, rather than completely pushing her task to Xin.

This alone made the team members very happy and admired.

"I'm not going to be separated from you anymore, though. Let's put an end to the pain of the Black Sheep together. ”

……

Yes, these 86s are actually dead a long time ago.

Their wails can still be heard, but they are only the product of the transformation of the Legion's mechs, and the dead humans should not continue to suffer in this world in this way.

Therefore, it is even more important to deal with them, so that these 86-year-old souls can be at peace.

Boom Boom!

Masaharu Yamada commands every chess piece on the battlefield and destroys all the black sheep.

……

[Chapter 23: Black Sheep]

However, there are some exceptions among the black sheep.

That is, although they have died on the battlefield, their heads are well preserved, especially some ace soldiers who once had strong combat ability and super wisdom and fought on the front line.

If their brains are preserved after they die, they will be transformed into mechs by the Empire's robot legions.

At that time, these guys lived to be more powerful, and became intelligent black sheep, and they were also legion commanders on the battlefield.

In this level, they encountered such a black sheep.

The name of the black sheep is Lynn.

It's a former comrade-in-arms of the brunette beauty Kaye, and it's also the person she likes.

Therefore, when he saw that [Black Sheep] was Lynn, Kaye was a little devastated.

"Why, why Lynn?"

She had imagined countless times when she had seen Lynn in her dreams, but never once.

Lynn actually stood on the opposite side as a black sheep.

"Kaye! You sober up, he's not Lynn anymore! He's nothing more than a black sheep who has been transformed. Vice Captain Lydon roared.

But Kaye didn't listen to half of the persuasion at all, and throughout the whole level, she fell into a state of silence and could not be controlled by the player.

Massaharu Yamada understands Kaye very well, and if it were him, the person he once liked would become such a ghost, and it would be difficult to accept it.

What's more, I have to kill him again with my own hands.

I'll leave the rest of the matter to the others, Masahru Yamada said silently.

……

However, Lynn, the black sheep, has become extremely strong in this level, with a special layer of armor on his body, which is almost impenetrable.

The fight was particularly difficult, and after grinding for a long time, this guy could still recover blood.

It's kind of scary.

And at this moment, Kaye, who had been silent before, saw this, saw everyone working so hard, and at the same time felt Lynn's pain.

She came to her senses.

Tear ......

The mech activates again.

Kaye becomes an optional operating unit.

"Lynn, I'll end your pain."

After successfully igniting the fighting spirit, Kaye's ability as a whole mecha has also been greatly improved, and the combat buff has been increased.

With Kayer, you can break through Lynn's armor.

This battle seems to have become a place for the former lovers to say goodbye, and Kaye is fighting with all his might, just to be able to end the pain of the dead Lynn.

Finally, Lynn was defeated and the battle was won.

……

In the next cutscene, the black starry sky.

There are meteors falling in the sky, which is particularly beautiful.

Lynn's dilapidated mech collapsed on the ground, already at the end of his crossbow.

However, Lynn, who has a complete brain, seems to remember Kaye.

So, in the avatar in the lower left corner, Lynn showed a pleased smile.

"Blah." Kaye laughed.

Then the tears fell.

She manipulated the mech and slipped the smoothbore cannon into Lynn's mech.

Bang!

……
