The sky was covered with dark clouds, a cold wind passed through, and the whole world looked gloomy.
Sero retracted his gaze to the sky and shivered, the cold mechanical armor and the power flowing through it gave him the courage to face any enemy. But that didn't mean he could ignore the cold weather. The damn weather was cloudy, and even the air was humid. But obviously Sero wasn't in a mood to complain, and he tried to straighten his body and look serious. The recent rumor circulating in the army had to be said to have given these ordinary soldiers quite a big shock, the border city of Green Shade was destroyed in one day, although this news was tightly blocked by the higher-ups, but there is no impermeable wall in the world, and no news can be blocked out perfectly, perfectly, completely. Since these low-ranking soldiers even know the fact that the superior officer will change different women in his room every night, what are these things?
The recent orders from the top to step up security had added to the credibility of the rumor, though Sero was not convinced, after all, there were still several cities and fortresses between them and the Shades of Green, and it was not their turn to be there in any case.
But what kind of devil could turn a city into ashes?
Sero shuddered at the thought.
You know, as a border city, Green Shade City is perfectly armed, and there are even three hundred Mechanical Armored Fighters stationed there. No matter what kind of attack it suffered, how could it be wiped out in one day? Is the war about to start again?
Sero placed his hand on the constructed sword at his waist, the powerful energy that flowed back to him and the mechanical handle that felt like steel gave him a touch of courage.
In any case, at least you should be able to escape that terrible nightmare, if not ... at least enough to escape.
It's a steel fortress, after all.
Jared turned his head away from the steel fortress. Beside him, the men stood armed, or unarmed, waiting for him to give the order. Caroline put away her umbrella, after all, there was no need for rain or light. While Gina stood quietly behind Caroline, the rest of the group split into two, with Yuri leading the native gifted warriors in sweeping and scouting, and Mailer leading the magical corps in attacking.
After that, Jared made it very clear that he was abandoning the stronghold and going straight north, and although he didn't tell them what that meant in practice, no one had any doubts about it. Since they had decided to risk their lives, it didn't matter what they did next.
"Gina, you're in the front."
Jared's orders were just as quick and unexplained as they had been in his old world.
"Caroline and I will follow close behind, Kylie you move with us. Mailer, you'll attack as soon as you see our signal, and Wendy will be in charge of aid and cover for the magic corps. As for Kula ..."
"Woo meow?"
"... You sleep here ."
Thinking back to the scene in the city of green, Jared had wisely decided to let Kura, who had only just gotten up from her animal skin cushion rubbing her eyes, go back to sleep. Obviously, the Chanting Envoy was quite a powerful weapon of mass destruction, and one that didn't discriminate between friend and foe. Not to mention the fact that nuking a small fortress would be too much to ask for. Not to mention, leaving Kura here would be an insurance policy. Jared didn't believe that the country would be able to remain stable after an entire city and its inhabitants had been blown to smithereens. The cities around them had seemed normal, except for a slight increase in security, but it was the normalcy that made it seem so strange. Who knows what else is in this country? The information from the Celestial Lords was half-understood, and the fact that it was too difficult for a magical civilization to understand mechanization - it was like asking Leonardo da Vinci to calculate Goldbach's Conjecture - was as unhelpful as that.
In short, in Jared's eyes, the other side is now practicing the strategy of loosening the outside and tightening the inside. Behind the seemingly unchanged surface, there must be a deeper conspiracy and a powerful opponent waiting for him to strike again. That's why he had to keep Kula as a nuclear weapon, just in case.
Jared couldn't help but sneer at the thought.
Think I'm just a rookie?
"Yuri take the rest of the men and guard the perimeter while protecting Kura."
Although the truth is that ten times the number of people here probably couldn't hurt a hair on Kula's head.
"Woo Meow ..."
In response to Jared's command, Kura let out a slurred chirp, unsure if it was an approval or disapproval. But she then beckoned to Jared, who then walked over to her and crouched down in front of her.
"Can I help you? Kula?"
Kula said nothing, but gently poked her head out and nudged Jared's cheek.
Then she retracted, cradling the muppet in her arms, her eyes still half-closed in the same lazy, idle manner.
"This is a blessed kiss. I hope brother Jared comes back safely."
In the face of Kura's inexplicable and odd behavior, Jared could only stand up with a bitter smile, he touched his cheek, and then looked around. Caroline didn't look any different, it seemed she was used to Kura's strange behavior. Gina, on the other hand, had her cheeks puffed out, and was staring at Kura with an icy, disgruntled look on her face. After all, she hadn't spent nearly as much time with these people as she had with Jared and Caroline, so it was obvious that Gina was a little offended that such an unfamiliar girl would act this way towards her (nominal) father.
But even Kylie's frowning, and that's a little hard to figure out.
Jared shrugged his shoulders, not bothering to try to question or process the strangeness, then he looked over at Gina and snapped his fingers.
"Yes, Dad."
Gina nodded slightly, then held out her right hand.
Dark lines of runes surged out in an instant, circling and twisting around Gina, forming a new system of matter. Everyone stared in amazement at the strange weapons that were constantly morphing and appearing around Gina. It was something they had never seen before, and would probably never see again.
The slender, streamlined body was hardened by steel, and had strange-looking launch tubes hanging from its sides. The only thing the crowd recognized was that it had two wheels, though they couldn't tell what they were made of. Or maybe nothing at all. It was Gina's Rune Armor, the most powerful device ever created with her original capabilities. The most sophisticated fighting machine that only she could use.
Urban Warfare Breakthrough Weapon, Rune Armament - Light Combat Vehicle "Sebelius".
Gina pulled the leather gloves over her hands and straddled them.
Without the usual motorcycle exhaust pipes and other special settings, the entire bike looks like a polygonal metal shell over the tires, sophisticated and symmetrical design shows the designer's crazy but full of logic thinking mode. Suspended on both sides of the body, the anti-flow design of the launch tubes as two huge bureaucratic teeth, showing very fierce. As the name of the vehicle itself suggests, the Cerberus, the watchdog of hell, is as fierce and brutal as the Cerberus, always ready to tear the confused souls in front of it to pieces.
"Dad, Mom, I'm off."
The body began to shake slightly as Gina gently twisted the handle. She turned back to Jared and Caroline and whispered.
"Go on."
(Be safe...)
The low roar instantly filled the surrounding air, like the prelude to the beast out of the pen, and then the dark beast of steel roared and burst, not long to have lost sight of.
Sero wasn't the first to notice the black dot coming down the hill like a tiger.
What's that?
He stood up straight in surprise, his nerves showing quite a bit of tension. Animals can not have that fast speed, for a moment he thought it was a stone rolling down the mountain ... but that obviously dodge freely action is obviously not a mindless stone to do it. Even the Armed Mechanized General Corps that looks weird tin box does not seem to have such a fast speed ... His hand was already gripping the hilt of the sword, at the same time began to think about whether to send a warning. What if that thing is not aimed at himself? Although this neighborhood is a restricted military zone, but it is difficult to say what it is, what if the report is wrong? Those officials who have been sleeping and eating all day don't like to see themselves wasting their warning signals. ...
But apparently the machinery reacted faster than he did, the large automatic crossbow had automatically rotated and adjusted its angle, aiming at the speeding black shadow, so Sero didn't hesitate any longer and reached out his hand to try to press the button that was right in front of his eyes.
A huge black shadow filled the air with whistling explosions, making Sero's move ultimately difficult, and what remained of his arm stayed in the air for a fraction of a second before falling to the ground in obedience to gravity, leaving the rest of his body out of the equation.
Gina didn't stop, the speeding winds whistled past her ears, and the heavy armor protected her well. With a slight move of her hand, three pieces of scrap metal slid out of her palm, and within moments, they were transformed into huge round vertebrae shaped shells that slid into the grooves on the side of the open mouth waiting for them. Then with a soft sound, the cracks are tightly closed, a huge air pressure in an instant stuffing, compression, and then in Gina's eyes after the blast, although the tin cone has no gunpowder and no explosive device, but see it hit the automatic steel crossbow at the same time mercilessly with the shockwave ripped through the wall of steel, as a violent man tore through the gossamer maiden's clothes as easily as when, we know that the It's no safer than a mere cannonball.
Alarm beeping.
Sharp sound filled the sky, even the sound of the wind was drowned out. At the same time originally used to block and cover the heavy steel doorway circled and fluttered and was forced to leave its post, in the air a perfect circumferential rotation of three hundred and sixty degrees and then fell heavily on the ground, obviously not get a passing grade landing action.
Jared raised his eyebrows slightly .
"Offense."
Then he gave the order.
