"Da da da da da da!"

There were bursts of gunfire in the narrow passage.

The fire of different lengths illuminates the dark passages to the point of being light and dark.

At the end of the passage, a well-equipped Weiser soldier raised his guns to the other end of the passage with a ferocious face. Behind the wall at the corner, he pulled the trigger frantically.

They are the Weiser soldiers who defend the ALDNOAH reactor area of ​​the core area of ​​Yanglucheng.

Even though he relied on Ethiram's familiarity with this Yanglu City, Lei Mingkai, who rushed along this path to the near ALDNOAH reactor, had to stop.

Listening to the dense gunfire and the loud calls of the Weiser infantrymen, Lei Mingkai knew that their whereabouts had been exposed would inevitably attract more attacks from the enemy.

Although the military structure of the Martian Weiser Empire was quite deformed at this time, Lei Mingkai did not need to worry about encountering any armored cavalry that blocked the road, the increasing number of people still gave Lei Mingkai a headache.

"Princess Ethiram. Offended. Now, please wait a little."

Lei Mingkai took a quick look. The Weiser soldier who was still guarding the end of the passage chose to put down Ethiram in his arms, preparing to choose to break through the enemy's blockade alone, and then lead Ethiram.

Next to the ALDNOAH reactor.

"Warning Commander Lei. Let me give you a try! Even though they raised their guns at me, they are still Weiser's people. Perhaps, I can make them give up the action to stop us."

Ethiram stepped on the ground, gasping for breath, and then said quickly after adjusting the aura that became a little disordered when Lei Mingkai was running wildly with her in his arms and running wildly.

"No! His Highness Princess Ethiram. Although they are still people of the Weiser Empire, they have now raised the sword of rebellion towards you."

Lei Mingkai stretched out his hand and stopped Esseram who wanted to step forward and faced those Weiser soldiers.

At this moment, a sneer rang out.

"Hehe! Kai. No need to persuade me! In their eyes, what kind of existence is Ethiram? Wouldn't it be enough to let them tell Ethiram yourself?"

"who?!"

Ethiram never heard this sound.

As this extremely strange voice appeared, Ethiram's nerves almost tense up.

"Shift Zero. If you are here, speak out earlier."

Unlike Ethiram, Lei Mingkai was both relieved and a little unhappy when he heard this voice.

"Hehe! Aren't you very comfortable holding the princess?"

Amid the ridicule, a small white figure also walked out of the shadow and came to Ethiram and Lei Mingkai.

It is the elusive white cat Zero style.

"cat?!"

Although Ethiram was a little uncomfortable with the white cat Zero teasing, her attention was now on the white cat in front of her and she could speak human language.

"Cat? Are you referring to this body? That's true that cat is true. But I'm not that kind of cute kitten that is so weak! Princess Ethiram!"

The white cat Zero style opened his mouth slightly, showing a mocking smile.

Then, a flash of light appeared before Ethiram's eyes, a huge steel lion three meters high and about ten meters long.

"this?!!"

Ethiram's eyes widened.

Her brain went down at this moment.

Even as the first princess of the Weiser Empire, Esse Iram, who had witnessed all kinds of strange abilities when activating the ALDNOAH reactor, could not accept a cute little white cat in a short time.

Suddenly it became a huge steel lion with a height of three meters and a total length of 10 meters.

"Hehe! Are you scared? You know, this is not my final form. If you are scared like this, you would be too fragile, right?"

The dull laughter sounded from the body of the steel lion in front of him, and Ethiram also reacted.

"Vice Person Lei. This, is this?!"

"Wild Lion Zero Style. It's my partner. The white cat you saw just now is just his usual image."

Lei Mingkai smiled lightly, briefly introduced the identity of Zero, and then looked at Zero.

"Since you have made your own decision, it's time to work."

"Hmph! What's the difficulty!"

As Zero let out a low roar, his limbs tightly and jumped, they turned into a stream of light and rushed out.

Then, dense gunfire and screams suddenly sounded in the entire passage.

The moment the huge steel lion appeared in this narrow passage, the Weiser soldiers were startled.

However, these Weiser soldiers pulled the trigger as soon as possible and shot frantically at the terrifying steel monster with a ferocious shape.

Pushed by gunpowder, the bullets rushed out of the gun chamber. The air-breaking bullets did not create the result of the Weiser soldiers knocking down the hideous monster in front of them, but were futile on the hideous steel hero

After a wave of meaningless sparks were raised on the lion's armor, it bounced back to the walls on both sides of the passage and finally landed weakly on the ground.

"Do you tickle me? It's far from it! Roar!"

As the Zero-Shaped Sneak sounded, the steel body that turned into streaming light had rushed to the end of the passage and plunged into the blocking position of Weiser soldiers.

Then...

There was a lot of screams in the passage.

It was only after the last scream that Lei Mingkai took Esseram out of the other end of the passage, looking at the passage that was already filled with blood in front of him, silent.

"Princess Ethiram, please forgive me for offending me."

Lei Mingkai glanced at the blood that had flowed to Esseiram's feet and suddenly spoke.

However, Ethiram reached out to stop Lei Mingkai from holding her through the blood-filled passage.

"No! Commander Lei. Thank you very much for your kindness! But now, I want to let myself do it."

Ethiram's voice trembled a little, but the will revealed by her words was firm.

Lei Mingkai was silent for a moment, and suddenly realized that there seemed to be a trace of Ephelam's shadow when Eupheimia became the Queen of the Empire.

Ethiram took a breath slowly, but was almost choked by the strong smell of rust.

But this could not stop Ethiram from making the decision at this moment.

"clatter!"

The blood spreading to Esseiram's feet was trampled under her feet before it even touched her shoes.

Sparse blood dyed Ethiram's shoes red in an instant.

But Princess Esseiram, who made the decision at this moment, took the next step firmly and walked out of the passage filled with the dazzling redness of the fallen soldier.

.

"Come?"

At the end of the passage, the hideous giant lion, who was white all over and was not stained with a hint of red, turned around and looked at the pale-faced Princess Mars and smiled.

"It's just right. This guy is the reward left to you. Ethiram."

The huge and ferocious body gave up a passage, revealing a Weiser soldier leaning limply against the corner of the wall, but was stained with large patches of bright red between his chest and abdomen.

"You...you, hold on!"

As soon as Ethiram saw the miserable situation of the soldier, he subconsciously stepped forward a few steps and wanted to lend a helping hand to him, but was stopped by a dark muzzle.

"Hey...hehe...hehehe!! Yes...you won!! Ethiram Weisser Eliosya!!"

The dark muzzle trembled slightly, as if the master who was controlling the muzzle had reached the end of his life.

But even so, the eyes that gradually lost the glory of life still emitted a ray of ridicule and even hatred towards Ethiram.

Even though Ethiram's worries and mercy at this moment are real.

The dying soldier Weiser moved his gaze and looked at the hideous giant lion beside him, showing a hint of ridicule with difficulty.

"Monster...Ahem...I...We miscalculated! Even the Earl of Zazbarum didn't...I thought that there was such a monster hidden in the Viather Royal!! Ethi

Ram Weisser Eliosya! I'm waiting for you in hell!!"

"don't want!!"

"Bang!"

As soon as Ethiram shouted to stop, the gunshot rang out.

At the last moment of his life, the soldier Weiser used all his strength to send himself a bullet that ended his life.

"Why?"

Faced with the Wesser soldier who was unwilling to accept his own rescue even if he committed suicide, Esseram fell into silence.

Just as Lei Mingkai wanted to comfort her, Ethiram suddenly turned around and walked quickly towards the ALDNOAH reactor.

"Warning Commander Lei. We have to seize the time!"

Without any hesitation or any regret, Ethiram's actions were still decisive and determined.
