Mecha: Return of the Pioneers

Chapter 1083: Ripples Dissipate

"Dear viewers, we are now interrupting you with a breaking news. This is a live video of an emergency in a city within the AEU."

People all over the world, at all times, see the same news the moment they turn on their TVs.

Horrible news from AEU that a city was destroyed by an unknown attack.

Although the spokesperson used a rather vague statement in the report, to anyone with a discerning eye, that was probably the result of the battle between humans and the Legion.

The existence of the Flash Butterfly is not unfamiliar to the three major forces.

But the fact that a self-destruct program was used to destroy most of a city was beyond everyone's expectations.

Compared to this, Tianren's comeback seems less important.

After the incident, some staff teams suggested that the blame for the destruction of the city should be put on the heads of the Celestials, letting them bear the blame, but the leaders of the three major forces did not adopt this suggestion.

Whether from the purpose of the action or from the battle scene, the goal of Tianren is the legion.

Moreover, if it weren't for the intervention of the gods, the result would not be the destruction of the city, but a terrible ending in which most of the citizens would have died in this battle.

Although the final statistics have not yet been completed, according to the data reported by A-LAWS and ground forces that arrived at the scene first and launched rescue operations, the casualties caused by this battle are no less than 10,000, and may even be more.

Among them, the area with the largest number of deaths and the most concentrated number of deaths is the various facilities run and owned by the Halevi family.

When this statistical result was submitted to the bosses of the three major forces, they couldn't help but feel puzzled.

Why would the Halevi family kill their own people and even cut off their heads and take them away?

Under this doubt, some people wanted to know how many people had been beheaded, but in the end they could only sigh at the land that had become a ruin.

"Juan Jiang. The data is out. Could you please report it again?"

Xue'er, who seemed to want to continue working as an assistant, handed a document to Juanjiang. Juanjiang flipped through it casually and nodded in agreement.

Then she looked at Xue'er puzzledly.

Now that Celestial Being's Gundam has already evacuated, Xue'er, one of the leaders of the Angels, is still staying here.

Seeing Juanjiang's confusion, Xueer gave an apologetic smile.

"At least, I should help you finish the task at hand! After all, I also have my responsibilities here."

Juanjiang shook her head.

If it weren't for Xue'er's invitation, she would probably still be at home dealing with those company matters, and would not be able to be the first to come into contact with such explosive news and the truth hidden behind the shadows of the world.

However, there were so many people around that Juanjiang could not discuss the relationship between the celestial beings and the legion with Xueer.

This can also be considered a pity.

"Don't worry! I will inform you immediately if there is any news. After all, we are partners. Oh, by the way. You continue to report here! I will go find Shaci. Feng En seems to have discovered something and left Shaci in the tent over there."

"Is Shaji injured? How is he doing?"

Juan Jiang, whose attention had been completely occupied by the news and work, finally reacted and asked quickly.

"No, Shaci is not injured. Although Feng En is a little arrogant at ordinary times, he is still reliable in important matters." After Xue'er patted Juanjiang's shoulder, she got up and left, walking towards the tent where Shaci was.

Burnt smell,
Howling of pain,
The chaotic crowd,
A look of horror,
Medical personnel shuttled back and forth.
There was also the soldier with an expressionless face, alert to the surrounding situation.

All of this, everything told Shaci that what was happening before his eyes was real.

Together with the bloody scene seen in the bullring, it was extremely real.

Shocked by what he had witnessed, Shaci was thrown into a state of bewilderment and almost unable to think. He sat blankly in the corner of the tent, staring at the passing people with lifeless eyes, losing all reaction to changes in the outside world.

Shaci didn't even know when Feng En left him.

There was a slight sound of footsteps coming from the tent, and the light inside the tent began to dim.

Shaci subconsciously raised his eyes and looked towards the door of the tent.

The next second, he stood up uncontrollably and looked at the figure standing at the door of the tent with surprise and joy.

On the other side, Kati Manikin frowned, looked at the report sent over, and finally sighed helplessly.

As an independent security force, A-LAWS had to take over the task of helping citizens set up temporary camps, temporary medical institutions, and maintain security in the camps at this time.

According to the above statement, the first batch of supplies will be delivered within half an hour along with the dispatched support troops, and in the following few days, follow-up supplies and corresponding stability maintenance forces will also arrive one after another.

Before the new stabilization force arrives and the camp is fully established, the A-LAWS force led by Kati Manikin still needs to complete this round of stabilization tasks.

Looking at the name that appeared on the first page of the report, Kati Manikin closed her eyes silently.

"It is always good news that support troops can arrive."

Now, tasks such as maintaining order, clearing the ruins, and even organizing rescue and treatment have required Kati Manikin to mobilize almost all the forces he can.

Except for the necessary security forces, almost all others were put into rescue and stability maintenance tasks.

Even mobile suits were sent by Kati Manikin to clean up the outer ruins and search for survivors trapped under the ruins.

"Lieutenant Andre. We've finished cleaning up here. You can take a break now."

"Ok."

Andre slowly breathed a sigh of relief, moved the machine to a temporary area designated for MS parking, and started drinking from the kettle.

At the end of the battle, if he had not happened to send a group of citizens who escaped from the city while the Celestial Beings and the Flash Butterfly were fighting each other to a temporary camp, he would probably have been caught up in the Flash Butterfly's self-explosion, and his life or death would be unknown.

According to the summarized relevant information, when another MS team saw the victory of the Gundam Exia, they wanted to launch an attack on the Morpho from one side, but they were accidentally caught in the Morpho's self-explosion and died on the spot. Only the wreckage of the machine was scattered messily on the ruins, and they ended up not even being able to recover their bodies.

Inadvertently, Andre saw another Guiana-class land battleship entering the airspace from the southeast side of the city.

"Is it reinforcements? Looks like we can easily..."

Before he could finish his words, the sight of a MS team flying out from the Guiana-class land battleship attracted Andre's attention.

Or rather, the MS at the front of the line caught Andre's attention.

And that MS happened to be a machine that did not exist in the A-LAWS MS series, Iron Man!
