Mecha: Return of the Pioneers

Chapter 775 You are too weak!
The roar of the Gatling gun resounded throughout the entire corridor the moment the gate opened, raising clouds of dust, shattering the ground and raising countless sand and dust.

But the seemingly terrifying raid did not cause any casualties.

Under the surveillance of the intelligent AI cube Arduino, every move of the mecha Ragna-mail created by Embrio was known to He Ming and his team. Therefore, before opening the gate to the third underground floor, He Ming and his team created an illusion to lure the other side to open fire.

"It is indeed something made by Embrio."

As one of the dragon leaders who had a deep hatred for Embrio, Salamantini recognized the origin of the machine blocking the door at first sight.

With a sneer on her face, Salamantini asked He Ming.

"Sir, leave this machine to me."

He Ming did not object and nodded.

"I'll cover you."

He Ming was holding a smoke bomb in his hand, and so were Chen Jinren and his teammates on the opposite side, either holding smoke bombs or stun grenades, ready to cover Salamantini's assault.

He Ming nodded slightly, pulled the pull ring off, raised his left hand and showed three fingers.

Everyone immediately turned their eyes to He Ming.

"3."

"2."

"1."

Smoke bombs and stun grenades flew out of hands and headed towards the third underground floor.

"Oh!"

"Oh!"

The moment the smoke bomb exploded, the stun grenade also exploded, filling the entrance to the third underground floor with the loud noise of the stun grenade.

Salamantini slowly adjusted her breathing, and when the smoke began to spread from the entrance to the third underground floor, she flashed and rushed into the smoke.

Then, rapid gunfire suddenly rang out.

"Chance!"

A hint of golden light flashed between He Ming's eyes, and a huge brain quantum wave spread out. With the guidance of the intelligent AI cube Arduino, he became the first attacker to rush into the third underground floor after Salamantini.

"Left! Follow."

As soon as He Ming's voice sounded, Chen Jinren immediately followed and, according to He Ming's instructions, raised his gun and shot in a certain direction.

Even though there was nothing but smoke in front of his eyes at this moment, it still did not make him hesitate at all.

Gunshots continued to ring out.

At this moment, both the enemy's and our own's gunfire gathered into a storm of gunfire at the entrance to the third underground floor.

Amid the fierce gunfire, Salamantini, who had rushed into the entrance to the third underground floor for the first time, had already engaged in a fight with Ragna-mail who was guarding the entrance.

However, sitting in the cockpit of Ragna-mail, Lidrad found that she could not do anything to Salamantini.

"So fast!"

Lidrad knew the performance of Ragna-mail.

But the opponent seemed to know Ragna-mail very well and was always able to get into Ragna-mail's blind spot first and avoid the shooting from Ragna-mail.

The violent shooting looked terrifying, but in fact it could not hurt Salamantini at all. On the contrary, Salamantini, who was moving at a high speed, even passed directly around the soldiers who were covering Lidrade's actions, causing some accidental injuries to Lidrade who was driving Ragna-mail while chasing Salamantini.

"Lidrad!! Pay attention to our position!! Focus and don't let yourself be dragged into the opponent's rhythm!"

Shura, who was in charge of commanding the support operations, couldn't stand it and quickly spoke up to remind them.

"I know! Don't rush me!!"

After several attempts, Lidrad finally couldn't help it. She threw away the Gatling gun in Ragna-mail's hand, drew her sword, and rushed straight towards Salamantini.

"Gatling can't hit you! You can never escape from the sword!"

As the sharp sword swung, the area around Salamantini was reduced to ruins.

Whether it was the walls, railings, or stairs, they were all turned into a mess and rubble under Ragna-mail's sword.

"Tsk! Has this guy gone crazy?!" Under the leadership of He Ming, they successfully broke into the third underground floor, accurately cleared out the soldiers blocking the way, and occupied a relatively safe position. Then, Chen Jinren turned around and saw at a glance that the entrance to the third underground floor was in a mess.

"That MS was made by ZAFT?"

As a technical researcher who changed his career, Nicol could tell at a glance that the technology possessed by Ragna-mail did not seem to come from ZAFT.

"No. That wasn't ZAFT's stuff. It was made by the mastermind behind all this."

"Is this the Embrio you were talking about, Colonel?"

Lacus Klein asked in a low voice.

"Yes."

He Ming looked around and sensed the surroundings with his brain quantum waves, then waved his hand again and led everyone to continue advancing.

He Ming and others who started to act again were also noticed by Shura.

"Lidrad! Stop obsessing over that woman! Get rid of those intruders first!"

While Shura ordered other subordinates to intercept He Ming and others, he also told Lidrade, who was chasing Salamantini but to no avail, to temporarily give up Salamantini.

"Tsk! Got it!"

Lidrade found that no matter how hard she chased, she could not do anything to Salamantini.

Salamantini seemed to have endless power and could always escape from Ragna-mail's sword at the critical moment.

This was the first time that Lidrade encountered such a slippery and ruthless enemy.

"Don't even think about attacking my Lord!"

As soon as the Ragna-mail driven by Lidrad turned around, Salamantini decisively seized the opportunity, jumped up, and in a few ups and downs, she jumped onto the top of Ragna-mail.

"Chance! Woman, you've been deceived!!"

At this moment, Lidrad showed a triumphant smile.

Ragna-mail stabbed with his backhand, straight at Salamantini who was still in the air and had no time to dodge.

At this moment, Lidrad had even foreseen the vivid scene after the delicate Salamantini was pierced by the sword.

However, the bright blood flowers did not bloom.

Instead, a spark exploded on Ragna-mail's left shoulder.

When the dazzling red alarm pierced deeply into Lidrad's eyes, she heard the alarm from the system - the alarm that her left arm had lost response.

"what?!"

Lidrad looked closely and found that Salamantini, who should have been pierced by the sword, was standing on the left shoulder, and the sword she held was inserted into Ragna-mail's left arm.

In shock, Lidrad immediately controlled Ragna-mail to swing the sword, slashing at the left shoulder and towards Salamantini.

The sword wind suddenly hit her, but Salamantini did not panic. Instead, she calmly exerted force with her legs and jumped into the air again, avoiding Ragna-mail's slash.

Then, Salamantini flipped her body and accelerated her fall, pulling out the sword stuck in her left arm and landing lightly at Ragna-mail's feet.

"Buzz!"

As the sword trembled, Lidrad was horrified to find that Ragna-mail's feet had also become unresponsive like his left arm.

"How is it possible!! Just one person, just a sword, can make the machine created by Master Embrio lose its response."

"No!! This is impossible!!"

"Om!!"

Suddenly, a cold sword blade pierced through the cockpit hatch above Lidrad's head.

"It's unfortunate. I personally designed and manufactured Ragna-mail. So, I know its weaknesses."

The next second after the sword destroyed the area where the protection mechanism of Ragna-mail was located, Lidrad saw Salamantini's sneer and the falling sword light from behind the automatically opened cockpit hatch.

"It seems that you are not qualified to witness my Flame Dragon with your own eyes."
