Hidden on the wreckage of the Empire State Building in Manhattan Island, New York, is a silver-grey humanoid weapon with slender limbs. This is the Ten Swords Machine No. 3 developed by the Moore Chamber of Commerce. Its symbol is the three upward lines on the head.
The pilot of Unit 3 is a handsome blond boy. He is not tall but has a very strong body. At this time, he was tying his hair in a ponytail and talking to an old man through the intercom.
"Edward, there are people in Hell's Kitchen (the western area of Manhattan Island) who have formed a group to rob other people of their food rations!"
The young man named Edward took off the scalp rope in his mouth and tied it to his ponytail. He picked up a bottle of Coke whose trademark could no longer be seen clearly and took a sip: "Robbing others of food rations? New York has become like this and there are still people doing it. This kind of thing? Don't worry, Father, I will take care of them tomorrow."
"Don't kill anyone!"
"I don't know how to use humanoid weapons. Don't forget that my nickname was the Ghost of Hell's Kitchen!"
"Thank you Edward! By the way, someone saw a huge space battleship approaching New York. What are you going to do?"
Edward drank all the Coke in one breath and lay on the hammock: "What to do? Of course we have to entertain them! The food on the battleship must be enough for everyone in the church to eat for a long time."
"Be careful, this is different from the opponents you have encountered before. It is a battleship! It is best not to fight if you can."
"Don't worry, how can we not accept the fat sheep that was brought up? I want them to see how powerful Roaring Dog and I are!"
Edward threw the empty Coke bottle downstairs of the Empire State Building, curled up and fell asleep in the hammock. A ray of moonlight passed through the gap in the ruins and shone on the No. 3 fuselage standing next to Edward. I saw three large characters written in Chinese characters on the left shoulder of the fuselage:
"Erlang Shen".
…
At dawn, the Osiris arrived over JFK Airport and flew slowly toward New Jersey. Everyone on the ship entered a state of tense combat readiness, and no one was sure whether the pilot of the Ten Swords Unit 3, which now controlled New York City, would launch an attack on them.
"Now passing over Woodhaven, turning southwest."
"Now into Brooklyn, hold course."
"Turn west over the central library ahead."
Every time the helmsman reports the route and heading, the atmosphere in the bridge becomes tense. According to the intelligence of Captain Dmitry of the New Muscovy Principality (TPM), Ten Swords Unit 3 is hiding on Manhattan Island. Therefore, the Osiris did not plan to pass over Manhattan Island, but wanted to fly across New York Bay to New Jersey to show that it was not hostile.
"Look! It's the Statue of Lady Luck!"
The Hudson River flows through Manhattan Island and merges into the Upper New York Bay. Hundreds of years ago, thousands of immigrants passed here and saw the Statue of Fortune revealing her true face after the fog in the bay cleared. This scene is It is the beginning of many people’s American dream.
But now, the American dream has long evaporated. The fog in Upper New York Bay has become turbid and full of toxins due to pollution. If the sea around New York City were not still there, the Statue of Fortune would have been submerged above the platform by the rising sea level. The goddess still held the torch high, but her body was dilapidated and covered with a scarlet HER three-headed eagle flag, which looked nondescript.
"Wow…"
Although the wreckage in East New York was shocking enough, Jessica couldn't help but sigh when she saw the situation on Manhattan Island. She could only describe the scene she saw as horrific. She could no longer identify where the once prosperous Wall Street was because the entire southern part of Manhattan Island had been razed to the ground and filled with garbage left by HER.
Just as everyone's attention was attracted by the tragic image of Manhattan Island, a purple laser flew through the turbid clouds and flew towards the Osiris, scratching the armor of the Osiris.
Correspondent Jessica asked Shepard: "Captain! The attack just came from the wreckage of a high-rise building in southern Brooklyn. Do we want to fight back?"
Captain Shepard was still having an ideological struggle in his heart. He wanted to avoid fearless conflict. After the enemy's second laser shot missed, he gave the order: "Since we already know that the enemy is in the southern part of East New York, there is no need to get entangled with him. The Osiris will change course and accelerate northward over Manhattan Island!"
Shepard did not intend to find the enemy hiding somewhere in Brooklyn, but instead passed through Manhattan Island, which he originally thought was unsafe. Seeing that the Osiris acted as he expected, Edward Terras snapped his fingers. He turned on a rusty portable speaker and let the drumbeats of the White Striped Sox's "SevennationArmy" fill the cockpit of Unit 3. This kind of environment that would make others feel irritable can make Edward more focused. He hummed a tune, held a sniper rifle-like aiming device (Anton's Hundred Steps also had a similar one), aimed at the Osiris and pulled the trigger.
At this time, the Osiris had entered Manhattan Island. Captain Shepard, who was sitting on the bridge, saw a purple laser coming from the front and was frightened. The power and range of this laser attack are obviously stronger than the laser that just attacked the Osiris in Brooklyn, and there is no time to avoid it. Once it is hit, the Osiris, which has just completed repairs, will become seriously damaged again.
In an instant, another yellow laser intercepted the murderous attack just now. It turned out that Sergeant Anton had already made preparations on the deck of the Osiris in order to find the enemy, and resolved the crisis in time.
Correspondent Jessica also broke out in a cold sweat. She asked uneasily: "What's going on? Don't the TPM people only have one enemy? Why are they attacking from the north and south? And the attack just now looked too much like Anton The sergeant’s laser sniped!”
Shepard didn't understand the situation either, but he suddenly thought that Dr. Hohenheim, who had developed the Ten Swords series of mechas, was also on board. He shouted: "Call Captain Demetri and Dr. Hohenheim to come to the bridge, right now! "
As Shepard spoke, Anton had already locked onto the location where the purple laser had just been shot, and he quickly counterattacked.
Edward, who was hiding on the wreckage of the Empire State Building, was also surprised. Why was there a laser attack similar to his on this strange battleship that he had never seen before? He raised his sights to fire a second shot, but Anton was faster this time. The "Hundred Steps" laser shot through the Linguo Building, destroying the delicate balance of the building's remains, and Unit 3, which was hiding on top, had to jump out.
"Damn it! My collection of treasures is still upstairs!"
Edward's so-called treasures are some baseball star cards, comic books and various souvenirs from New York that are no longer valuable. The original valuable things in New York have been looted by HER, and Edward can only find these even if he digs deep. But they were all good things in Edward's eyes. Edward angrily fired a shot while descending in mid-air. The attack made in this way naturally missed.
Sergeant Anton saw clues from Edward's second attack. He said to the bridge: "Don't be afraid. It seems that the laser attack of aircraft No. 3 only has a longer range, and its power and range are far worse than mine. Let Lin Ao land to deal with the enemies in Brooklyn, and you see how I clean up the kid who just hid on the Empire State Building!"
