Everyone assumed Mansfield would try to break through, but in the art of war, deception is key. Unexpectedly, he made a sudden, deadly strike.
It was too sudden. Reiko wanted to pull back urgently, yet knew she couldn't. Not even a chance to switch tactics in this split second. In this life-or-death moment, she had no time to consider much. She controlled Shield Strike to burst into secondary frequency acceleration, hoping to evade the incoming attack with the aid of momentum.
As the saying goes, couples are inseparable even in the underworld. Mansfield didn't expect this lady to be tougher than a man, willing to die with him? He immediately reduced the power of his mecha by a fraction.
Boom! The two mechas made contact. One could only imagine the violent collision that would happen the next second -– but before that could happen, an unexpected sniper shot had already approached. An alarm suddenly sounded within Shield Strike.
Whoosh...
