Mecha: Return of the Pioneers

Chapter 1078 Legion’s Ambush!
The other side of the earth.

"A-LAWS has arrived at the coordinates. Three mobile suit teams have been sent into the city. In addition, ground forces are entering the designated positions and blocking the surrounding roads."

Since most members are still in space, the person responsible for operating the intelligence terminal can only be temporarily replaced by Red Dragon.

Red Dragon always keeps an eye on the changes in intelligence on the screen and reports them in a timely manner.

"Looks like it's going well."

Wang Liumei stood aside with her arms folded and spoke.

"It just looks like that."

Lisa Kujo shook her head.

"Lockon has just sent back information. The legion target suspected to be Target No. 1 disappeared in the ruins. There is a high possibility that there is a large underground space in that city."

When hearing about the underground space, Wang Liumei couldn't help but think of the battle that took place in the city at the base of the orbital elevator many years ago.

In that battle, humans witnessed the horror of the Legion.

Not only does it have a huge number of mechanical units with different firepower, it also has the engineering capabilities to dig out extremely complex underground spaces in a short period of time.

If the participating machines at that time did not have powerful firepower, it is likely that humans would not be able to discover the underground space hidden under the base city in a short period of time.

From this, we can infer that the Halevi family, who have become traitors to humanity and defected to the Legion, should also be able to use the Legion's capabilities to dig out a large and complex enough underground space under the city.

"If we let them slip into the underground space, I'm afraid..."

Thinking of this, Wang Liumei suddenly felt something was wrong.

"No. Not really. The underground space excavated by the Halevi family cannot be compared with the underground space that appeared in the war a few years ago. Even though both sides used the power of the legion, there is still a clear difference in overall strength."

Lisa Kujo not only expressed her speculation based on the information collected by VEDA, but also made a prediction.

"I'm afraid that the Halevi family will break out next."

"Break out?! Right under the siege of A-LAWS?"

Wang Liumei fell into deep thought.

Although Wang Liumei knew the ins and outs of the great war many years ago, she had never witnessed the power of the Legion with her own eyes, so she seemed unable to imagine how the Legion broke through the front line.

"Yeah. Yes. Surrounded by A-LAWS."

Kujo Lisa nodded, but she didn't say the second half of the sentence.

"If it was that person, Kati Manikin, I'm afraid the breakout would not be successful. But, we have to be prepared for the worst."

Guiana-class land battleship, bridge.

Kati Manikin looked seriously at the battlefield situation map displayed on the screen in front of him.

"Who is leading the MS team at the front?"

Kati Manikin immediately noticed the MS team that was gradually moving beyond their own line.

"Yes! Lieutenant Smirnov's MS team."

CIC responded quickly.

"Notify Lieutenant Andre to slow down and wait for friendly forces."

"Yes!"

Andre was shocked when he received the order. Although he was reluctant, he still slowed down the advance speed according to the order.

"Captain! There are still citizens waiting for rescue ahead!"

The teammates said in confusion.

The reason why the MS team led by Andre gradually broke away from the front line was that Andre and his team members discovered a group of people being hunted by the scout-level legion.

With a strong sense of mission to protect the citizens, Andre took decisive action and immediately killed the scout-level army that was chasing the citizens, while also calling on his teammates to assist him.

Therefore, as the number of times they rescued citizens increased, Andre's MS team began to show signs of drifting away from the front line.

Fortunately, Kati Manikin discovered it early and did not let Andre and others completely leave the front line.

Of course. Kati Manikin had already guessed why Andre and his men gradually left the front line, so he did not force Andre and his men to stop and wait for the friendly forces to join him, but asked them to slow down to avoid falling into the enemy's encirclement.

Andre, who understood this, did not feel any resentment. He simply comforted his puzzled teammates, continued to advance, and continued to rescue the citizens who approached.

Unfortunately, more and more legions appeared in front, and the citizens gradually disappeared.

From smaller scout types to tank types that pose a threat to MS, they were deployed one after another, making Andre, a pilot who had participated in the war several years ago, feel more and more anxious and depressed.

"Tighten the formation and pay attention to the surrounding situation! Don't fall behind! The main force of the legion has appeared."

Andre quickly gave orders, asking his teammates not to disperse, and at the same time sounded an alarm to the rear.

"boom!!"

Suddenly, a loud explosion was heard on the street behind the left.

Before Andre and the others could look over, another round of explosions suddenly sounded, and they kept coming one after another, with no signs of stopping.

Such exaggerated explosions and such intensive attacks immediately reminded Andre of the battle that took place in the base city that year.

"Everyone, retreat immediately and reorganize! The Legion's suicide robots have appeared! Be careful around the streets, especially in areas with a lot of alleys!"

Right now, the A-LAWS MS troops happened to be deep in the city streets, with their vision severely limited, making it impossible for them to monitor the surrounding streets or even the alleys in a timely manner.

"boom!"

"boom!"

There were violent explosions all around again.

The friendly team at the right rear was attacked by a suicide robot.

Amid the explosions, the Doom-3 was forced to have nowhere to escape and leaped up, raising its GN shield while quickly passing over the building and flying towards the rendezvous coordinates.

However, a thunderous sound exploded from the central area of ​​the city, and the Doom-3, which was trying to take off and use its air advantage to escape from the siege of the suicide robots, fell apart in mid-air.

"what's going on?!"

Andre was stunned, then looked towards the square in the city center with horror.

Two pairs of heat-dissipating light wings made of unknown metal slowly stretched out over the city, and the electromagnetic cannon with terrifying killing power was slowly moving towards the Guiana-class land battleship.

"Flash Butterfly!? Oh no! Mothership, evade immediately! The Flash Butterfly has locked onto you!"

Andre, who had witnessed the horror of the Morpho Butterfly, immediately sounded the alarm towards the mothership.

But the mechanical weapons of the terrifying legion named Flash Butterfly were faster than Andre's warning!

I saw that the 800mm caliber electromagnetic cannon was rapidly charging, the lightning symbolizing death suddenly lit up, and the god of death's scythe had already been swung down.

"Evade! Evade immediately!!"

Kati Manikin shouted again and again, but there was nothing she could do.

"This is a trap!!"

When I realized this with horror, it seemed like there was nothing I could do.

In the light that was bright enough to blind one's eyes, dozens of faint lights could be seen.

"boom!!!"

The air was roaring and the warship was shaking.

But Kati Manikin was still standing in the bridge, looking at the scene ahead which was gradually becoming clear again with a hint of shock.

Nine light shields, ranging from small to large and slightly tilted to the left, appeared in front of the Guiana-class land battleship at some point, completely protecting the battleship behind it.

"Is it reinforcements?"

Kati Manikin's legs went limp and she fell into a chair, looking at the strange light shield in front of her.

Who is lending a helping hand?

Is it a celestial being?
