Lin Ao and Li Si were about to leave with the congressmen when they heard a warning from the Osiris, saying that a white humanoid weapon was coming from the west of Vittorio Emanuele II Avenue.
Because Li Si's body had already broken an arm, the task of intercepting the enemy naturally fell on Lin Ao's shoulders. Li Si and the crew of the Osiris tried their best to take all the rescued MPs and escape eastward.
The outline of the white enemy plane coming from the west became increasingly clear. After Lin Ao saw the eye-catching lion head decoration on the right shoulder of the aircraft, he couldn't help but complain:
"This look looks like the robot in the Sentai cartoon I watched when I was a kid."
I wonder if Lin Ao accidentally made his voice public when he was talking to himself. The enemy plane stopped after Lin Ao finished speaking, about a hundred meters away from Lin Ao. From this distance, Lin Ao could clearly see that there were many cracks in the armor of the enemy aircraft, which gave Lin Ao some confidence.
Lin Ao actually met Talion's "White Lion" on the railway, but Lin Ao was still in a coma at that time. Talion suddenly stopped because he was wondering why the No. 2 opportunity of Ten Swords, which Lieutenant Colonel William hated so much, appeared here. Logically speaking, it was impossible for the younger controller to miss the opportunity to take revenge on the No. 2 machine.
Talion asked: "Hey, pilot of Ten Swords Unit 2, have you met the Empire's Lieutenant Colonel William?"
Of course Lin Ao remembered that if Lieutenant Charlotte hadn't come to the rescue just now, he would have been tortured to death by the man named William. He replied angrily: "Of course you know, I defeated and captured you!"
The voice of the pilot of Ten Swords Unit 2 sounded much younger than Talion expected. Talion said to himself: "It turns out that William was also captured. The quality of the imperial soldiers is getting worse and worse..."
Lin Ao did not intend to stand chatting with the enemy on the streets of Turin. He raised his shield and raised his gun in a gesture of provoking a fight. Talion also raised the machine gun when he saw this. He said to Lin Ao: "Pilot of the Ten Swords Unit 2, how about we each report our names before the fight begins? I just killed a NEU ace, and he taught me how to do it. I’ve done this before, and I think it’s very interesting.”
"Crew of the Osiris, Lin Ao." Lin Ao's answer was brief.
"I am Lieutenant Colonel Talion of the Holy Roman Empire of the universe, captain of the Hydra. This is my special machine 'White Lion', which is the same as my nickname. But this nickname is only spread in the universe. You are the Earth People shouldn’t know, right?”
Seeing that Lin Ao didn't respond, Talion was not in a hurry to take the initiative to attack. He continued to ask: "Is your machine called Unit 2? Doesn't it have a name?"
"...It's called Chongda, taken from the name of a general in the Western Han Dynasty. My current shield and ax equipment is called 'Cruelty'."
"Huh, it's quite complicated."
As soon as Talion finished speaking, he fired a shot suddenly, and Lin Ao hurriedly blocked it with his shield. Although this shield has been filled with holes by William, it still has defensive capabilities.
Talion laughed heartily: "What's wrong? I've already shot you, but you still don't dare to come over?"
Lin Ao challenged: "I dare not take the initiative to provoke a lunatic who would decorate a humanoid weapon with a lion!"
Talion snorted. He felt that his taste was superior to others, and Lin Ao's provocation was harmless to him.
"Enough teasing, go to hell!"
Talion was the first to launch the attack. He deliberately moved around the left side of Lin Ao's shield and fired while doing so. In doing so, he could take advantage of the blind spot of the laser rifle held in the right hand of Unit 2. Lin Ao knew what the enemy was thinking. He controlled the No. 2 machine to turn around while fighting back, thus solving the problem of shooting in the blind spot.
Although he had heard that the Ten Swords Unit 2 could use laser weapons, Talion still gasped when he saw the laser weapons melting through the ground. He retreated to the south, hoping to lure Lin Ao to a position where he could call in friendly forces. But Lin Ao is not stupid. His mission is to prevent Talion from catching up with Li Si. There is no need to actively pursue him and continue to stand on the street and shoot.
Seeing that Lin Ao didn't fall into the trap, Talion began to move up, down, left and right, testing Lin Ao's bottom line.
He found that when he moved eastward, Lin Ao would definitely follow him, for fear of losing him.
Talion couldn't help but sneer. He had just learned through a conversation that the pilot of Unit 2 was not old. After some testing, I felt that Lin Ao was not a very deep man and was just an easy rookie to deal with.
So he suddenly accelerated and moved eastward. Lin Ao was startled and hurried to chase him. When he reached the next intersection, he couldn't find the enemy.
"Lost?"
When Lin Ao was stunned, the "White Lion" suddenly appeared behind him and attacked the back of the No. 2 machine with a machine gun at close range. At this time, the sound of enemy fire, the sound of bullets hitting the back armor of the No. 2 machine, and the loud sound of bullet shells falling to the ground sounded at the same time, almost deafening Lin Ao.
"The armor on the back of the No. 2 machine is seriously damaged. If it is shot down again, it will be over!" the AI issued a warning.
Lin Ao endured the vibrations in the cockpit caused by the close-range attack on the aircraft, and quickly turned around to block the "White Lion" bullets with his shield. Then he suddenly jumped out from behind the shield and struck the "White Lion" with a huge long-handled battle ax.
Talion guessed Lin Ao's reaction, and he had already controlled the machine to retreat. But he didn't expect that the attack range of Lin Ao's giant ax would be so wide. With one strike, not only the street surface but also the right hand of the "White Lion" was split open.
"!!What?"
This was the biggest battle damage Talion had ever suffered since he joined the army. But he did not feel angry because Lin Ao destroyed his "white lion", but felt satisfied. In his opinion, a battle with humanoid weapons should end with only the wreckage remaining.
"Hmm...what's your name?" Talion asked as he stepped back.
Lin Ao chased him with a giant ax and replied angrily: "My name is Lin Ao! You were the one who wanted to ask me my name just now!"
"Sorry, sorry, I wasn't serious just now. You are the first person to let my 'White Lion' suffer such damage in battle. In return, I will remember your name, even after you die!!"
Talion threw away the machine gun in the "White Lion's" left hand, pulled out the battle ax from his back, suddenly stopped retreating and let the machine squat. While squatting, he made the machine perform difficult movements like hip-hop dancing. I saw the "White Lion"'s two feet and damaged right hand supporting the ground at the same time and sliding in a circle. He kicked away the shield Lin Ao held in front of his chest, and then raised his tomahawk upwards, knocking out the No. 2 machine. A gash was opened in the chest.
"Hmph, it almost hit the cockpit."
Seeing this set of difficult moves, Lin Ao was dumbfounded, shocked and frightened. If it hadn't happened that the center of gravity of the lower body of the No. 2 machine had shifted when the shield was kicked away by the enemy, Lin Ao would have died inexplicably at this time.
The frightened Lin Ao subconsciously controlled the machine to jump backwards to a position ten meters away from the "White Lion". He was now shivering all over, his skin was covered with goosebumps caused by fear, and even his hands holding the joystick were trembling with fear.
AI Toth noticed something strange about Lin Ao, and encouraged Lin Ao: "Don't be afraid! The enemy is more afraid of your laser weapon, shoot!"
Lin Ao had no idea. When the AI asked him to shoot, he fired at the "White Lion". But because his hands were still shaking, the shot naturally missed.
Talion also noticed Lin Ao's state at this time. He laughed maniacally and approached Lin Ao step by step, scaring Lin Ao back step by step.
He was satisfied and enjoyed the feeling of teasing his opponent: "Hahahaha! What's wrong? Are you scared now? You really disappoint me, let me give you a good time!"
Talion raised his ax and rushed towards Lin Ao. Lin Ao wanted to retreat, but found that he had already retreated to the building next to the street, with no way to retreat...
