After learning the intelligence of Unit 3, Captain Shepard readjusted his tactics: Humanoid Weapons Team A retreated, and after a round with Lin Ao, they covered the Osiris as it left Manhattan Island.
After receiving the order, Bart, the captain of Team A, immediately led his people to withdraw in the direction of the Osiris, but no matter which way they went, the elusive "Howling Dog" would suddenly appear at the next intersection and attack them. Thanks to its newly equipped shield, it had already It was in tatters.
"The enemy is too familiar with this city!"
"Ignore that guy and keep walking!"
Edward had already moved to the next sniper point. Before this hidden point was destroyed by Anton, he fired several shots. The ballistic trajectory grazed the left side of Team A and drove them towards the original direction of New York University. Under the tense situation of being harassed by "Shadow Roaring Dog" and being pursued by Unit 3, Team A ran in the direction Edward wanted them to go without thinking too much.
"Hey, idiot!"
Anton destroyed Edward's sniper point for the third time. This time Anton's shot was more accurate and almost hit the No. 3 machine. Edward cursed, jumped to the ground and started chasing Team A.
"It doesn't matter if it's just one. As long as they can capture one prisoner, they have to give me money!"
The Osiris no longer intends to continue to entangle with Unit 3, and plans to leave after taking in Team A. Edward saw this and sped up his actions.
He thought to himself: "As long as we get to the ruins of New York University, I will have a way to trap them, that's it!"
"Howling Dog" kept reporting to him the current movement direction of Team A, which was exactly what Edward hoped for, and he became more and more confident. But he was so focused on Team A that he completely forgot that there was another person on the ground battlefield. Just as he quickly passed the next intersection, another high-speed moving humanoid weapon suddenly appeared from the other side of the intersection. The pilots of the two aircrafts did not expect that they would meet at this intersection, and it would naturally be a collision. Unit No. 3 was directly knocked out, and Unit No. 2 suddenly appeared and fell into a huge crater.
Edward naturally didn't know that the black machine that collided with him and his No. 3 machine were both "Ten Swords". When he got up, he removed an iron pipe attached to his back. When he held the iron pipe with both hands, the tail end of the iron pipe extended, and the head shot out short laser blades from three different directions. This is the special melee weapon of Unit 3 "Erlang Shen" "Three Points and Two Blades" gun".
"Asshole, go to hell!"
Edward jumped up and pointed the tip of his spear downward, intending to stab the machine that fell in the crater to death. What he didn't expect was that the enemy's reaction speed was also very fast. While standing up, Lin Ao took out the two laser halberds attached to his back. This was the first time he used this new equipment in actual combat.
The laser blade of the hand halberd and the laser blade of the three-pointed two-edged gun collided, making a "sizzling" sound. Both of them had the same reaction when they saw the laser blades colliding. They were actually a little scared, and they each stepped back a few times. step.
Edward put the three-pointed two-edged gun in front of him and asked politely: "Hey! Why do you also have a laser weapon with two horns?"
Lin Ao also held the two halberds in front of his chest: "Are you driving the Shijian No. 3 machine? Mine is the No. 2 machine."
"Oh, so your body is also valuable? Roaring Dog is back and has changed its goals!"
"Um???"
Lin Ao originally thought that Edward would open up after knowing that they were flying the same type of aircraft, and maybe they would develop a friendship like Luke Rand, the pilot of the new Omei No. 4 aircraft. He never expected that Edward would actually arrest him. Live in Unit 2 and sell it for money!
It's too late, but it's soon. Edward actually threw the three-pointed double-edged spear like a javelin. Lin Ao dodged and saw Edward draw out his laser sword and slash at him. For some reason, Lin Ao used this laser halberd equipment called "Dianwei" very smoothly. He used the branch of his right halberd to block Edward's knife, and then used his left halberd to stab Unit 3. Edward was in great danger. There was no hiding.
"Uh! It took a while!"
Edward wanted to step back, but Lin Ao's left spear thrust out was turned and aimed at the waist of Unit 3. As long as Lin Ao pulled back, a large gash would be opened in the abdomen of Unit 3.
"Surrender!"
"What a beautiful thought!"
The critical moment was when the "Howling Dog" was killed. This was the first time Lin Ao had seen such a weird looking machine; if it were armor, it had four legs; if it was a dog, it had no head and tail. While he was still dazed, the laser rifle on Roaring Dog's back fired. Logically, Lin Ao couldn't dodge this shot, but Edward pushed Lin Ao away at this time, allowing him to escape.
"You? Saved me?"
"Save you? If I just shot you to death, I would be involved too!"
Edward ran to Howling Dog and exchanged his laser rifle with the rifle on Howling Dog's back, because the one in his hand was not suitable for close-range gunfights. His skill in changing guns was enough for Lin Ao to put away his halberds and replace them with rifles, but Lin Ao did not dare to fire now. He planned to go to Team A for support.
"Don't even think about running away!"
In order to capture Unit 2, Edward had given up his plan to round up Team A, so naturally he refused to give up. When Edward was chasing Lin Ao, he passed by Grace Church. He subconsciously glanced in the direction of the church and suddenly stopped.
"Why is the door open? Didn't I tell the priest to close the door and hide?"
Grace Church is one of the few buildings in New York City that is still intact, so many refugees use the church as a base to live a difficult life. Edward knelt down and looked carefully at the church door. There were obvious signs that it had been forced open.
"Hey! Is there anyone else inside?"
Because he was still driving a humanoid weapon, Edward couldn't see what was going on inside the church. In order to understand the situation, Edward actually jumped out of the cockpit.
"Hey! I have a question for you! Is anyone there?"
No voice in the church answered him except his echo. Edward looked down and saw a man in black robes lying on the ground, and ran over anxiously.
"Hey, isn't it? Hey!!"
The old man lying on the ground is the man Edward has always called a priest. The old man originally served in the church in "Hell's Kitchen" in New York and used to discipline the naughty Edward. After the destruction of New York, the old man has been helping refugees at Grace Church.
"Hey! Old man! Old man! Father!!!"
Edward shook the old man's body hard, and he didn't stop until he saw the gunshot wound on the old man's chest.
…
Lin Ao had already run quite far at this time. He turned around and found that Edward had not continued to chase him. When I was feeling bored, I heard a broadcast from HER coming from the direction of Staten Island, south of New York City:
"Edward Terras of Manhattan Island, Edward Terras of Manhattan Island. We are the 503rd HER unit in North America. You attacked the Empire's troops stationed in New York. In retaliation, we took away the illegal residents who gathered at Grace Church. At noon tomorrow, you bring Ten Swords No. 3 to Staten Island and surrender to our troops, otherwise we will execute those illegal residents. If you don't come or try to resist, we will execute you too! This message will be repeated again 3 times."
"Edward Terrass of Manhattan Island, Manhattan Island..."
"Hahahaha, that's it, that's it..."
Edward walked out of the church and wiped his tears with his sleeve. He glared fiercely in the direction of Staten Island and clenched his fists.
