Some people in Chicago who had followed Mr. Lucas to help him in his crimes learned about Mr. Lucas's death through their channels and then packed up their ill-gotten gains in a panic and wanted to escape from Chicago under the escort of their own soldiers. However, a team of HER eagles appeared somewhere and blocked all the intersections in Chicago. The people trying to escape looked at each other. They really couldn't figure out how these HER troops suddenly appeared, and no matter how hard they bribed them, they would not do anything. Moved.
At this time, the war outside Chicago was still not over, which made it easier for Lin Ao and Edward, who had just escaped from prison, to find the large army.
"Let's split up! See you on the boat!"
Edward was impatient and ran away talking to himself after going to the toilet in the cockpit. Lin Ao initially thought that he was afraid that he would be punished by Sergeant Anton for taking unauthorized actions when he returned.
Lin Ao shook his head: "This Edward, Sergeant Anton should really teach him a lesson!"
Dmitri, who was on board No. 2, looked at the map: "It seems that all Lucas's troops have gone to fight the Osiris. So far, no troops have come to attack us. Let's just take the main road. Hurry up. a little."
"Okay, it's up to you."
Lin Ao also began to retreat in the direction of the Osiris. In order to facilitate monitoring, Mr. Lucas's prison was very close to his building. As soon as Lin Ao walked to the main road, he saw several armored vehicles rushing past. He subconsciously made a gesture of raising his gun, but the armored vehicles didn't seem to see him and ran away without a trace.
Dmitri patted him on the shoulder: "It's okay, the tree fell and the hozens dispersed. The Osiris must have almost won the battle. These people have no time to escape and will not attack you."
Lin Ao felt relieved after hearing what Dmitri said, but then he felt a huge pressure. This feeling even came earlier than the AI's alarm.
"Heart! Eagle Yang style appears on the main road!"
Lin Ao looked in the opposite direction from where the armored vehicles had just escaped, and saw a silver modified Eagle slowly walking towards him. This eagle-style armor is not in the shape of the common Roman lobster armor, but in the style of Japanese samurai armor. The most eye-catching thing is the two swords hanging on its waist...
"Oh? I'm still worried about how to catch you."
Sasaki Musashi.
…
"Get out of the way!!"
There were no pedestrians or guards blocking the street, but that was what Edward liked to shout. He let the self-propelled robot "Howling Dog" lead the way, while he drove "Erlang Shen" through the streets of Chicago at night. If it weren't for the ongoing war, he would even want to open the cockpit and get some air.
"It's great! You should listen at this time..."
Edward was distractedly flipping through his playlist when the barking dog running in front suddenly sounded an alarm. Usually in this case, the barking dog will attack on its own. But the howling dog's alarm was only halfway through when Edward heard another alarm sound indicating that the howling dog was damaged.
Although Edward was distracted, he still reacted quickly in such moments. Roaring Dog was attacked as soon as he raised the alarm. When it became clear that the enemy was missing, Roaring Dog was very close, right at the next intersection! He looked at the damage to the barking dog again. Fortunately, one leg was cut off. The jet-moving Roaring Dog can move with only three legs. At this time, it has already run to a safe place.
"Fa Ke!! How dare you hurt my barking dog!"
Edward changed direction urgently, trying to use his reaction speed to surprise the enemy behind. Unexpectedly, a brown Eagle suddenly jumped out from the intersection where Roaring Dog was attacked. The shape of this Eagle was similar to the one Edward had encountered in Akita Town. He was holding a small weapon in his hand. HER The thermal energy knife equipped by only a few officers in the North American Army was swung at Edward.
Edward jumped and dodged the knife, but the house on the roadside was split open by the knife. The brown eagle quickly adjusted his pace and faced Edward: "Edward Terrass, a member of the North American Rescue Alliance. I am General Sasaki's personal guard Yagyu. If you want to survive, please hand over Unit 3!" "
"Ha! Are all you cosmic people beggars? You want to get it yourself!"
Edward took out the laser three-pointed double-edged knife and took a stance. Seeing that Edward dared to challenge him, Yagyu roared and raised the knife to strike.
"Ha! Sasaki's men are all stubborn. My lord, times have changed!"
Seeing that Yagyu was trapped, Edward neatly thrust the three-edged two-edged knife into the ground, then quickly took out a grenade and threw it at Yagyu. The purpose of this is to create a time when he can retreat. At this time, "Erlang Shen" only carries a long laser rifle, and Edward needs enough distance and time to take out the gun and shoot.
Edward jumped back and just took out the long laser rifle when he saw the brown Eagle slash the grenade and detonate it from a safe distance.
In this way, Yagyu also got the opportunity to counterattack Edward, and the missile bay on his shoulder fired three missiles at once. At the same time that Edward shot through his left arm, three missiles also seriously injured "Erlang Shen", causing him to fall heavily on the forest.
Yagyu proudly kicked aside the three-pointed, two-edged sword that Edward had just inserted on the ground, and said, "Cleverness can lead to mistakes! I can still wield a knife with one hand disabled, but your spear is of no use in this environment. land!"
"Hehe...who is done with this?"
"Um?"
Yagyu realized that the strange thing he had slashed before was still carrying a gun! He turned back sharply, just in time to see "Howling Dog" appearing behind him, the purple laser grazing his thermal knife and flying past, making a gap in his knife.
"It seems that Roaring Dog's broken leg is still affected. If it were normal, you would be dead!"
Edward controlled the machine to stand up and fire, but Yagyu had already escaped with smoke bombs. But Edward knew that he was not far away.
"I can still run like this...I suddenly thought of which song I should listen to..."
Edward clicked on his speaker and played "Intheend" by the "Linkin Park" band.
…
"Young man, do you still remember Jiro in the carriage?"
The silver-gray modified Eagle suddenly started talking to him, and Lin Ao was shocked. It turned out that the driver of this enemy plane was "Mr. Jiro" whom I met on the carriage, that is, HER's general Sasaki Musashi!
"No way..." Dmitri was also frightened. He never expected to "encounter" the big boss of the North American HER army on the road like this.
"You...are Sasaki Musashi?" Lin Ao asked.
"Oh? Sure enough, your friend recognized me at that time. That's good, it saved me the trouble of telling me my name. No... I still have to introduce myself. The piece of art in front of you is my favorite machine Muramasa."
"2. Unit No. 2 Dianwei." Lin Ao saw the other party introducing his unit, and also introduced Unit No. 2 politely.
"Dian Wei? Why do I think it's called Chongda in the intelligence?"
"The code name of Unit 2 will change depending on the equipment..."
"Oh...do you mean your machine has other equipment? Interesting!"
Lin Ao asked in confusion: "Why do you ask this?"
"Because I am a man who still loves hand-to-hand combat with cold weapons in an era where laser weapons have been born. When I was a boy, I felt sad for the loneliness of the sword era. Who would have thought that the emergence of humanoid weapons would bring swords back to the battlefield! It makes me even more sad. What makes me happy is that the machine you are piloting is developed by the Moore Chamber of Commerce and is equipped with an epoch-making laser melee weapon! Boy, no matter how much equipment you have, I want them all!"
Lin Ao heard that the other party was planning on Unit 2, so he pointed his gun at "Muramasa" and warned: "No! I will not hand over Unit 2, don't threaten me!"
Sasaki Musashi smiled and said: "Young man, do you remember me on the carriage? I hope you stay away from this war. My people are war mad and look down on those non-soldiers. But I am different. I respect those who can do it." People working in logistics, such as doctors and cooks...Young man, you don’t have a martial temperament, I advise you to hand over your body and escape from here!"
"I don't need you to plan a career for me! Yes, I resisted becoming a pilot of humanoid weapons at first, but now I find that I can protect many people!"
"Protect?... It seems like you can do it. Well, let me give you the fear of the battlefield!"
After that, "Muramasa" raised the thumb of the hand holding the thermal sword upwards to pop the blade out of the scabbard. He held the handle of the thermal sword with his other hand, and then rushed towards Lin Ao with the sword...
