Well the battle is over, a new battle is about to begin
Well...the battle is over, and a new battle is about to begin...
(I was a shell of someone who predicted the battle that would finally end after nearly 10 chapters...)
It's really... a huge fluke.
The reason why I say this is not because Academy City's Altair II satellite lives up to expectations and is located in a farther orbit than the Apostle-kun, nor is it because just this strike will wipe out the Apostle-kun...
Well, just looking at this satellite orbital gun, after it penetrated the two obstacles including the absolute field and the body of the bird angel, it opened a deep cracked pit with a diameter of exactly thirty meters on the ground without any pressure.
, even the "Hurricane" and EVA Unit 1 that have developed absolute fields are afraid to avoid it, you can know the power of this attack. The novel chapter is updated the fastest
No wonder the female health teacher at the time could still say such shameless words after cutting my reward, "Congratulations, Mr. Cheng." To be honest, if you choose the correct way to use it, this rail gun can probably kill
He might die from any enemy I have encountered so far.
And...that's not all that's lucky about me.
If it hadn't been for shooting through Bird Angel's body first and interrupting the mental attack, then Xia Lu wouldn't have been able to recover in time and use her last mental power to quickly switch out the large defensive shield and desperately open the absolute field.
——The power of mental pollution still gives me lingering fear. The chapters of the novel are updated the fastest
But... fortunately, the Bird Angel has been successfully killed, and apart from the initial sacrifice of Tamase Minji, there were no other casualties/machine casualties. I have to say that this is the best ending.
Moreover, this also means that the battle on the ground battlefield is coming to an end.
"Xia Lu...is there no problem?"
I carefully landed on the ground with the girl's body in my arms. After placing Xia Lu on the ground, I opened the hatch and jumped out almost without hesitation, and came to the girl's body.
Charlotte's originally fair face now looked a little pale, and her eyes were tightly closed. However, after hearing my voice and struggling several times, the girl still managed to open her eyes, with a smile on her face.
Looking at me with a pleased smile.
"It's no problem...it's just...I'm a little tired."
"Ah... then, let's take a short rest and have a good sleep."
The girl persisted under that kind of mental attack for three minutes. Just by looking at Lafla's frightened look after being exposed to it for just a short while, one could already tell how terrifying that attack was.
I'm really lucky that I didn't try it myself. Fortunately, the annoying birdman was finally killed. Having said that...
"That Spear of Longinus...what on earth is it?"
This is the first time I have received an item reward after killing an apostle. On the surface, it seems to be the result of a balance of payments? However, if possible, I still hope to go to someone again and ask for permission to mobilize the satellite.
"Ah... Anyway, the combat mission above the ground has been completed. How is the situation underground?"
The communication channel became silent at some point. Obviously, everyone was excited about the apostle's downing, right?
"...Ah...then, everyone, goodbye."
"...Team...Captain"
"...beep...beep..."
What's wrong?
That voice just now was... Chizuru Sakaki, right?
Didn't you break into the core area of BETA before? Didn't Ayanami break into the ground with assistance and help break through the final obstacle? Why... you suddenly said this.
The bottom of my heart was already shrouded in a cloud of uneasiness. Looking at the communicator again, the set of communication signals belonging to Sakaki Chizuru... had been interrupted?
"...continue to penetrate."
"Wait a minute... is it..."
"Yes... sacrifice it, after all, the body has reached that level."
There was no emotion at all in Xiangyue Xihu's tone.
"At least, if you activate the S-11 mechanism, you don't have to worry about your body being destroyed by BETA..."
"That is..."
"It's a self-destruct device."
Cai Fenghui's voice came from the communicator, and for some reason, it revealed an uneasy calmness.
"Captain, she continued to rush in to cover me, but the armor outside the cockpit was broken by the small species."
"Wait a minute... Hui, now you..."
"Both the armored lieutenant and the captain have been sacrificed. Next... we can only rely on our strength to continue to assist Emperor Qin Nai in breaking in..."
Even...that guy in armor is dead?
It's only been three minutes since we first encountered the special BETA species, right? Moreover, aren't the members of Team A-01 piloting the most advanced machine called "Wu Yu Lei"? How could it be...
"It is a BETA species that has never been encountered before. It is like a living door, the last defense that isolates the core of the brood from the outside world..."
Xiangyue Xihu didn't seem to intend to explain anything to me, but instead turned to confirm the situation on the ground.
"After the apostles are annihilated, please help to continue to destroy the remaining BETA on the ground, and prevent the BETA from breaking into the nest and surrounding the A-01 team."
"But... now is not the time..."
"This has been a plan from the beginning, and it must be implemented now."
This woman...it was obvious that she was a member of Shiraiyo Hiiragi Academy who was sacrificed, right? How could she be so indifferent?
"The current situation...even if more people rush in, it won't help."
Ritsuko Akagi, who has become an outsider, seems to be analyzing the current situation in a more calm way.
"Unit Zero has already broken in as reinforcements. After judging the situation, we have decided to abandon Unit Zero's escape plan and instead continue to assist Emperor Qin Nai in breaking into the nest."
Currently, there are only three tactical aircraft left, Shirogane Wu, Ming Ye, and Caifeng Hui, right? Even adding Ayanami Rei seems to be of no help. Moreover, after completing the battle, what should...
"From the beginning, the successful escape of the body was not part of the plan."
"...this compilation"
What does this mean?
Didn't I say before that as long as the brood annihilation is achieved, the BETA can be completely wiped out?
Now, when you say "I've never considered body extrusion"... you're kidding me, right?
"The Brood... no, perhaps it should be said that it is the 'brain' that serves as the BETA command center. Its role is only to formulate combat plans to invade each academy and create more BETA."
Xiangyue Xihu calmly explained the invasion plan.
"The primary goal of the Alternative 4 plan is to remove this brain-level BETA, which has the dual meaning of 'brain' and 'matrix', to buy more time for the subsequent sweeps and counterattacks against BETA."
"What does that have to do with sacrificing Wu Yulei and Qin Naihuang as the main combat units?"
"Because...it is no longer possible to return from the original route."
"Why...why?"
"The special species next door to the mother body has been closed again before, and outside this door is the sacrificed Chizuru Sakaki, as well as an unimaginable number of BETAs who came from all over to assist the mother body and gathered together.
』
...Is it a strategy of closing off the retreat in order to secure the battlefield? But, in this case...
"Qi Naihuang... that machine must also be given up, right?"
"..."
The command room opposite the communicator had already fallen into silence. It was obvious that what Xiangyue Xihu said at the last moment shocked everyone.
"If I let you choose, Makoto-san, then..."
This female teacher, who impressed me deeply with her cold and unscrupulous manner from the beginning, gave me the final question with the simplest multiple-choice question.
"Should we give up a few people and machines, or... give up this academy, submit to the committee's top brass, and implement the Alternative 5 plan?"
...From the very beginning, it was an unsolvable multiple-choice question, right?
No matter what choice you make, you must make sacrifices. However, the target of sacrifice has changed from a few people to a majority... No, it should be said that it is just Xiangyue Xihu who has been insisting on achieving this Alternative 4 plan.
So, this woman's choice is... is this what it is now? To abandon Emperor Kanno, who is the school's last ace, and to use all her strength to eliminate BETA's "brains" in exchange for more time to counterattack, and to achieve a complete victory.
The purpose of eliminating BETA?
"But...if this is the case..."
Ming Ye and Hui, these two girls are also behind the closed "door", and next, what they have to face is the biggest enemy of Shiraiyo Hiiragi Academy, as the "brain" of BETA
And the last BETA that exists has been planted, right?
"I... don't regret it."
Yujian Mingye's voice was clearly transmitted from the communication channel to my eardrums.
I believe that at this time, the sister named Huang Wuyuan Youyang is also listening to Yu Jian Ming Ye's words? Before that, I clearly promised that girl to ensure that Yu Jian Ming Ye would not be involved in this battle.
died in.
Now it seems... I really want to break my promise. The result of considering the situation too lightly from the beginning is what it is now.
"...To be able to sacrifice everything and even my life for onee-sama and this Shiraiyo Hiiragi Academy is my final destination, so...no matter what, I will give my all in this final battle."
"..."
"We...understand."
I couldn't say a single word of dissuasion at this time, and in Kobuin Yuyang's voice, besides being choked with sobs, there was also the feeling of relief that, as the general of this academy, his subordinates were willing to die for their loyalty.
feeling.
