With the firepower loaded in his Power Armor, after this round of burst fire from the machine cannon, whether the target carrying a strange weapon would die or not was uncertain, but his adjutant from the Lane Family would definitely be turned into a sieve.
And as the “sitting lion” of the Kingdom Military Department, the Lane Family’s influence within the military was deeply rooted. If he really dared to kill both the adjutant and the target, there was a good chance he’d be jointly sent to the military court by them.
So, there was no choice but to get up close.
After assessing the current situation, the commander of the Power Armor squad quickly issued corresponding orders.
The squad of twelve Power Armors immediately split into three groups: five Power Armors moved to the left, six Power Armors flanked to the right, and the commander’s Power Armor suddenly accelerated, chasing straight towards Leon’s position while raising the machine cannon on its arm…
…
“Blah blah blah! Blah blah blah!”
Accompanied by gunfire dense like raindrops, although Leon himself wasn’t attacked, the ground several meters in front of him exploded violently, hit by a shower of shiny nails that made mud and rocks fly everywhere.
Immediately after, several bright red canister weapons were thrown further ahead by the Power Armors behind him. As these canisters landed, a large puff of bright yellow scorching flames shot up instantly, and the rapid explosion brought a blast of hot wind that scorched even the tips of Leon’s hair, curling them.
They’re being so cautious…
Looking at the Power Armors behind him which could have directly chased him but maintained a steady distance, slowing him down with machine cannons and incendiary bombs while waiting for others to encircle him, Leon couldn’t help but sigh inwardly about his bad luck.
Pione’s technique is useful, but since it can’t directly attack the spirit, all it can do is gnaw on the thick iron shell of the Power Armor. So what the little golden puppy from the Lane Family said was correct; with his current level, dealing with two or three Power Armors simultaneously was already exhausting. If there were more, he might very well get into trouble.
The best option now seemed to be turning around and rushing back to take out the Power Armor following him first. But judging from the cautious behavior shown by the operator of that Power Armor, it wouldn’t let him get close easily. If he turned around, it would pull away again.
And though Power Armors with treads are difficult to turn, their forward and backward movement speed isn’t slow, probably around fifty to sixty kilometers per hour. There’s no way he could catch up with them, which would only make him fall deeper into the encirclement.
There’s no other choice but to fight hard.
Using the soul vision of the Black Goat, Leon observed the positions of the other Power Armors, then abruptly changed direction. Instead of continuing to flee straight ahead, he charged directly towards the five Power Armors positioning themselves on the left flank.
Facing Leon’s seemingly self-sacrificing move, the operator of the Power Armor here, probably feeling safe with other teammates nearby and thinking they just needed to hold out for a moment until reinforcements arrived, didn’t immediately retreat. Instead, they took down the shield hanging on their back and rushed forward holding it up.
Then you’re done!
Seizing this fleeting opportunity sharply, amidst the shrill cries of the little golden puppy behind him, Leon didn’t slow down but charged straight towards the massive two-meter shield.
The silver metal orb floating near him, roughly the size of two human heads, transformed under Leon’s will into an extremely sharp blade, effortlessly slicing through the lower edge of the great shield, gouging out a large hole big enough for someone to crouch through! What is this thing?!
But switching from moving forward to retreating requires starting time. Once Leon successfully closed in, the Power Armor entered the two-meter range of the “sword in the ass,” and its fate was already unchangeable.
“Pfft pfft pfft pfft!”
The sound of metal armor being pierced rang out consecutively. Leon, who had already dismantled several Power Armors by hand and roughly knew where their weak points were, directly drove the “sword in the ass” to transform into four shiny silver spears, piercing through the joints connecting the torso and limbs one after another.
And as the thick shell nearly thirty centimeters thick was pierced, the internal precision gear assembly got jammed into the hard silver spear, instantly disabling the weight reduction module of this Power Armor. A large amount of high-temperature white steam sprayed out from the pipes bent by the self-weight of the Power Armor, exploding into a large cloud of suffocating acidic fog so thick you couldn’t see your hand in front of your face.
“Be careful! He’s breaking out!”
With the warning cry of the operator of the already scrapped Power Armor, Leon ducked out of the thick white mist, covering his mouth and nose, and fiercely pounced towards the second approaching Power Armor amidst the coughing of the little golden puppy behind him.
Completely not expecting the teammate to fall so fast, the operator of the second Power Armor panicked and instinctively raised the machine cannon in his hand, aiming it at the terrifying figure charging towards him.
Is… he firing?
Hearing a buzzing sound similar to when a washing machine is running at its highest speed, the little golden puppy behind Leon trembled violently, realizing that their teammate had activated the machine cannon, trying to kill them both. Unable to help it, with a face full of despair, it screamed loudly: “Me!”
Without any mistake, first one after another content inside 69 book bar read!
The silver spell orb beside Leon split in two; half enveloped the gun barrel of the machine gun, blocking all the nails inside, while the other half transformed into a hand, grabbing the arm of the Power Armor and pulling it horizontally.
“Shit!”
Taking advantage of the slight imbalance of the Power Armor, Leon sidestepped to avoid the right leg stomped out during the staggering, circled around to the side of the hip. The part of the spell silver previously responsible for pushing away the machine cannon flowed back like a living creature, accurately landing in Leon’s hand and transforming into a slender thin blade.
“You!”
The shiny thin blade swung horizontally, tearing through the side of the hip of the Power Armor like cutting paper. A large number of shattered small metal parts spewed out along with the high-pressure airflow from the broken steam pipe, blasting a dense cluster of tiny pits on the surrounding ground. The Power Armor missing most of its leg fell flat on its back!”Mom!!!???”
“BOOM!!!”
The loud thud of the Power Armor hitting the ground coincided almost simultaneously with the trembling “mom” sound from the little golden puppy. Immediately after, the choking white acidic fog burst open, once again engulfing the figure who dismantled two Power Armors in the blink of an eye.
