Chapter 43: The Tea Party Farce (3)
"You little companion...... Is it reliable? Kiku streaked gracefully through the air, and the people on the ground ran at full speed to follow. In the crowd, Kevin let out an exclamation, surprised not only by the appearance of the birds, but also by the reaction of his companions.
"No problem." It was AgatΓ© who answered, "This bird is much more powerful than a man's vision." β
"After all, AgatΓ© has seen it. When I was in Luan a few months ago. Even though the situation was dire, Estelle couldn't hide her smile when she remembered what happened a few months ago.
"I can tell it's running in the direction of the docks." Heiliga looked at the trail of the white falcon gliding, "There may be enemies...... Guys, get ready for battle. β
ββββββββββββββββββββ
As soon as they entered the confines of the docks, they saw the watchdogs that greeted them β literally, real watchdogs. Several well-trained military demonic beasts pounced with their fangs bared, but at this moment, everyone was already impatient, where was there any hesitation, and easily killed the demonic beasts.
"The glory of the intelligence department will live forever......" opened the door of the warehouse and easily eliminated the spies inside, but the latter fainted after leaving such a sentence. Looking at the somewhat unusually empty warehouse, Estelle frowned: "It seems that something is missing......"
"What's that?" Olivier pointed to a large symmetrical shelf behind the warehouse, one side of which housed an intricate-looking mechanical device that "looks like equipment for a chariot......
"This is a high-performance guide engine developed for the El Saiyu!" Kloss's pupils contracted suddenly, "I think there must be two of them." β
"It looks like one was stolen. Oh noβ" Before he could finish speaking, Kim's voice was interrupted by a loud bang. It was the sound of the main guns, accompanied by a booming explosion, which was especially piercing in the silence of the night.
"Maybe it's the kind of thing I saw with Yaniras before...... What's it called...... Aljeyu," AgatΓ© frowned and recalled vigorously, "girl, do you know what that is?" β
"Well, that's a newly developed military guided combat vehicle...... The performance in all aspects is top-notch, but because the cost is too high to produce in large quantities, it has always been shelved in the warehouse......" Tita said with a sad face, "And I remember that for the sake of design, the engine interface designed by my grandfather on the vehicle and the El Saiyu is exactly the same......"
"Then it's obvious." Sherazadeh muttered, "The remnants of the Ministry of Intelligence created this incident and wanted to use the creation of panic to threaten something!" β
"Stop them!"
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
The giant beast covered in steel is now advancing on the freight lane in the middle of the dock as if it had entered a no-man's land. Whether it is a concrete wall or a scattered container piled up in the corner, it is crushed under the feet in the face of this absolute power. Pursuers with ranged attacks, such as Olivier, have not tried to stop the vehicle, but neither the channeling magic nor the bullets have left a slight scratch on the surface of the vehicle. It was as if they were mocking the futility of their efforts. The speed of the guided vehicle, which has obtained the latest engine for airships, is also amazing, and it is about to rush out of the confines of the harbor and into the area where the inhabitants are.
"......Oh no," Estelle ran as hard as she could, but her feet could not outrun the metal tracks, and just when everyone was feeling irritated, the arrival of reinforcements moved the balance of victory back.
A special shell for combat vehicles fell precisely on the tracks on the side of Ordeyu. Even a steel behemoth that is tightly wrapped around its body is inevitably fragile in the tracked part. The tracks on one side were knocked off, which did not affect the vehicle's firepower, but it was enough to make the vehicle lose its mobility.
Of course, if it was a skilled driver, he might be able to maintain a high speed in this situation and break through the newly built defense line - but apparently the person who was driving the chariot now was not as skilled, and as the center of gravity of the chariot changed significantly, he panicked and crashed the Orjeyu into the nearby building in a panic.
"Captain Yulia!" The chariot stopped moving, and after everyone panted to catch up, they finally saw the identity of the reinforcements, "Why are you here?" β
"Long time no see. Your Highness and everyone. Yulia greeted with a serious expression as she commanded the formation of the guards with her sword, and her eyes did not dare to take her eyes off the chariot for a moment, "We have received an urgent request from Lieutenant Colonel Sid...... He sensed that something might be changing on this side of the streets of Grantell, so we hurried back in the Elceyu. β
Knowing that he could no longer crush his opponent's speed and performance, he decisively adopted a desperate fighting style. On top of the chariot, a support frame suddenly opened, and the strange object on it was the Gospel imitation that everyone had seen in the previous investigation - that purple strange light had already lit up, and the members of the pro-guard team who had set up the defensive line, and the guerrillas and their companions who had just caught up were all within its effective range!
"What......" Yulia was taken aback, she saw that the guiding lights on the street and the equipment operating on the side stopped working for a moment, "Is it the 'guiding force stopping phenomenon'!?" β¦β¦ But if that happens, the chariot should ...... too."
However, unexpectedly, instead of stalling, the vehicle turned on its headlights and slowly turned to Yuria's side.
"Damn ......" With the strafing of the machine gun above the top of the tank, the anti-tank weapon that had just hit the track was completely destroyed, "so there is no way to deal with it......
"Not good...... Looks like I'll have to use my tricks. Kevin's dark and cold color made a gesture with his left hand to reach for the inner lining of his clothes, but he was stopped by Heliga's hand.
βuldοΌβ Just as Kevin wanted to ask what was going on, the young man next to him suddenly shouted out words of unknown meaning - almost at the same time as he made a sound, Heliga had already crossed the distance of more than ten meters and ran to the head of the chariot - the guide that emitted a strange purple light was kicked to the ground by the young man with a bracket, and lost its light when he landed. With the boy's movements, the surrounding street lights were faintly lit up again.
"Ahh Ahh Just as everyone breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed, the door of the chariot suddenly opened, and a fat figure was thrown out of the chariot in a panic, crawling on the ground, desperately trying to escape. I saw him hide behind Estelle and the others at an astonishing crawling speed, trembling as he said, "It's terrible that they're going to take me without saying a word," and everyone was speechless for a while.
ββ¦β¦ Ling, have you had enough? It's almost time to show up, right? Heliga, who was standing on top of the chariot, shouted to the surroundings where there should have been no one but his companions.
"Huh...... Good evening, everyone. On the roof of a house near the sea, the purple-haired girl who everyone had been worried about appeared elegantly, with a touching smile on the corner of her mouth.
