"Inside the ship, I will lead everyone. From now on, all systems of 'Mist' will enter good night mode..."
I seem to have heard a female broadcast somewhere. But the content of that notification was completely bizarre.
“I’ve never heard of Good Night Mode.︎”
"Istar! You did it!"
He roared at the magic flute, but Theon didn't answer. During this time, the broadcast continued quietly.
"During the good night mode maneuver, operations such as navigation, fire control, mobile armor and reconnaissance aircraft sorties are no longer possible. Life on the ship and other related functions and operations can be carried out as usual. Please do not panic, do not make a fuss, and spend your time well. "
"...Anyway, do you want to block our actions?"
Although the broadcast was a joke, the moment the voyage was blocked, it was impossible to go to Hydra. If they couldn't use the mobile armor to attack, they couldn't let the "Sabers" chase Xion.
All the "things Argento wants to do" that Theon mentioned were blocked in advance.
"Captain Sarsga, you talk so fast."
Theon seemed to hear the sound before he even put the phone to his mouth, and he smiled and praised Ajid. But in this case, it just felt like teasing.
"Don't worry, the good night mode will automatically disable within twenty-four hours... Well, that is to say, until this is over, please be a good boy."
The finger on the other end of the phone rang again, and "Asano" disappeared from Xiaojing's and the others' vision together with the light. He was probably summoned to Theon.
The phone has been hung up. I'm afraid that even if I try to contact you again, I will be ignored or rejected.
"Anyway, let's go back to the bridge first!"
"Yes! Such a wonderful broadcast, even if it is smashed, I will stop you!"
Now the "fog" repeats what it just said.
Listening to this annoying background music, Aki and Anna hurriedly walked towards the bridge.
Xion put down the phone, put it in his arms, paid the bill at the coffee shop leisurely, and walked straight to the nearby shrine.
After the war with the [Alien World] began, religions such as shrines and churches, in short, the idea and place of belief and worship of inhuman beings were strongly condemned by society.
In fact, if a person's family is killed by inhumans, it is natural that he will have a rejection reaction to a religion that thinks this is a good thing.
In fact, shrines and churches like this have the power to ward off bad luck, both large and small, and are useful to people, but people don't know it, so there's nothing they can do about it.
Although it will not be demolished immediately because of the growing noise, there are fewer people coming than before the "border war" broke out.
“(It’s convenient for people like us)”
This is a refuge from unknown ghosts. It is not discovered by anyone, and it is easy to talk to people who have nothing to do with it.
There are many old things and few surveillance cameras, which is also one of the advantages.
Theon advanced without hesitation through the deserted courtyard.
Right at the junction of the shrine grounds and the woods, the grass swayed slightly.
After a few seconds of blankness, a fox emerged from the grass.
The fox looked up at Theon and spoke...
"Are you leaving?"
Fox asked Theon in a soft female voice. Xion nodded slightly, confirming the question.
"According to the plan, we will weaken Hydra to the maximum extent. After that, please use your power to seal it."
"Of course, it's rare for you to act coquettishly to me, so I will definitely agree to it."
Unlike humans, fox expressions are hard to tell from their appearance.
But just listening to his voice, you can feel his love for Theon, and a little uneasiness.
"...Even if you don't hold the sword, as long as that big snake comes here, I can make it end, right?"
"I know...but I can't spend that much time."
There are ways to make Miststan unnavigable. The "Sabers"'s mobile armors are also unable to attack.
But even so, he still couldn't be sure that Aki and the others would never challenge Hydra.
Because no one can guarantee that they will not give up using the "Ghost" and borrow other warships or mobile armors parked at the base for operations.
If that were the case, he might have adopted that method nonchalantly.
The victory or defeat is at this moment, and everything must be ended while Aki, Anna and others are still in chaos.
"Come on, 'Shallows.'"
Just call him, and "Alert", who has been moved from "Mystordin" to a different space by magic, will appear behind Theon.
The entire shrine has already used people-avoidance techniques, so there is no need to worry about causing a commotion.
"Xion, I hope you are safe and well...I will definitely come to you personally after this incident is over."
After the shikigami of Empress Xijing left these words, she entrusted the seal of the fox-Hydra to her again, but she disappeared like Kasumi.
Seeing this scene, Xion immediately got into the cockpit of "Morning".
"Then let's go."
"I can do it anytime? I haven't been so arrogant for a long time, and my blood boils just thinking about it."
"Forget it then, as agreed, the second half will be left to you."
The "Destruction" has not been repaired by itself for a while. It may be that other members of the Thirteenth Technical Class have taken good care of it and there are no problems at all.
There is also no problem in synchronizing with the expansion parts that are being installed one after another.
"Is Xion okay?"
"What?"
"The previous opponents were basically low-level ones. This time they are high-level monsters, right? Don't be ridiculous. If you don't pay attention, you will be dead."
Unlike previous battles, Theon was more likely to be defeated and die this time.
This ghost is asking Theon, is he not afraid even in this situation?
After hearing this question that didn't look like a ghost, Xion couldn't help but laugh.
"I thought you were going to say something..."
"It's you. I took great trouble to help you."
"Okay, okay, thank you."
Xion sighed softly and responded rudely to Zhu Yue, who was a little awkward.
"To be honest, I haven't thought about whether I'm afraid or not... because I have more important things."
"Are you saying 'to protect you'? You said that to Xiaojing's monk, you are probably very beautiful too, right?"
"...Mine isn't that pretty."
Launched the "Shallow" and slowly rose to altitude.
"That's it for now... let's go quarrel with the gods in mythology!"
"answer!"
The large propeller installed as an expansion component violently spits out fire, and the "blast" accelerates in one go.
Heading is west. Hydra still remains in the Dragon Kingdom area.
"Azaret", which uses magic to hide its identity, flies through the air, ignoring the streets of Xijing that are frightened by the mysterious whirlwind.
The atmosphere shook violently, and "morning" flew through the air like a bullet.
It was designed with mobility in mind from the beginning, but its current speed is even more advanced than that specification.
"It's so fast. What's going on, Master Xion?"
"Because it has a booster for assault."
One of the expansion parts installed this time is this assault booster.
Installed on the back of the fuselage, it can achieve high-speed flight.
Unlike the machine body, it can only be used in one way because it needs to be loaded with fuel. It cannot perform other than straight-line movement, so it cannot be used at any time. However, it can be said to be useful when you want to urgently transport the mobile armor to a specific point. The most suitable expansion parts.
"Let's not talk about this first, I have already seen it."
Although it was still far away, the huge body of Hydra had already entered the field of vision.
Looking around, there was no sign of Hydra moving.
Theon's enchanted stealth bomber seemed to be functioning normally and did not seem to notice the approach.
"...After all, I rested for too long."
"No, this guy has been sealed for thousands of years since the Age of Mythology. It's impossible to move as soon as he wakes up."
If a person is in a coma for a long time, his muscle strength will also decrease and he will be unable to walk normally. It is said that something similar is happening to Hydra now.
"Then let me lie down before I wake up!"
Let the already accelerated "morning" speed up even more and close the distance in one breath. Plus, mounted extensions for arms, shoulders, legs, and more are always ready for use.
"Oh my God! First shot!"
While taking a direct route towards Hydra, I detached the attack thruster on the back...
