The collapse started when Kiana came to the door

This one-second gap in thinking made her lose the best opportunity to issue the capture order to the Titan Mech. By the time Cocolia reacted, the Titan Mech had automatically taken countermeasures against the motorcycle's suicide attack. The huge mechanical arm mercilessly smashed the motorcycle's skinny body, which was no different from an ant compared to the Titan.

The steel collided with the ground with a loud bang, and a large amount of flying sand and rocks was raised.

But when the thick fog that obscured the view dissipated, all that was left was the steel wreckage of a motorcycle, without even a trace of blood.

——She was fooled. Cocolia’s eyes suddenly turned cold as she looked at the monitor.

On the other side, Kiana put one hand on Li Shubai's waist and the other on Raiden Mei's waist, and came to the gap between the buildings with a slightly hurried breathing.

"Huh... Huh..." Although most of the intense exercise was undertaken by Kiana, the excessive tension still caused Li Shubai to breathe rapidly. He covered his neck and tried desperately to adjust his breathing so that his thinking could return to normal.

"Are you okay?" Kiana let go of Li Shubai's waist, patted his back gently, and said unhappily, "Your physical condition is too poor. After this matter is over, I will take you to exercise properly."

Li Shubai rolled his eyes, too lazy to refute Kiana's words.

Twelve mecha groups blocked the front and sides without any blind spots, and there were thunder-protecting mechas capable of launching missiles waiting at the back. No matter how you looked at it, Li Shubai had no room to break through. No matter where he rushed to, as long as he was under the surveillance of a Titan, other Titan machines would inevitably rush over.

Therefore, Li Shubai could only find a way to create a gap on his own.

Facts have indeed proved that his idea was correct. Although the monitoring range of the Titan Mecha is wide, there is still a place that the Titan Mecha's monitoring cannot reach.

——The moment the mechanical arm is swung down, the huge mechanical arm guard will inevitably block the target before smashing it.

Li Shubai captured this brief gap, and Kiana accurately understood his intention. One second before the car was about to be smashed, Kiana, who was sitting in the middle, grabbed Li Shubai with one hand and Raiden Mei with the other, and abandoned the car and fled without hesitation.

Chapter 22: Cocolia, the Impotent and Raging

Although he successfully escaped from the Titan Mecha's nose, what should he do next?

After barely calming down his rapid and disordered breathing, Li Shubai thought nervously.

At this moment, Mei Raiden, who was released by Kiana, suddenly spoke.

She murmured in a low voice: "That..."

"If you want us to hand you over... save your energy." Li Shubai didn't even look at Raiden Mei's expression. He impatiently shook his hand and interrupted what she was about to say. His tone was extremely cold. "I don't trust people who framed my parents. Don't tell me that you really believe that the woman who framed my father and put him in jail will let us go."

"..." Raiden Mei shut her mouth obediently and stopped talking.

Although the words were so cold that they did not carry a trace of warmth, for some reason, compared to the smiling and quite peaceful way of speaking when he was communicating with Cocolia just now, Li Shubai's words to her at this moment, which were so cold that they could be considered rude, made Raiden Mei's chest involuntarily feel warm.

"Yes, Mei!" Kiana nodded quickly, like a chick pecking at rice, "We can't just believe the bad guys! Kan-Shu Bai and I will never hand you over!"

What the hell is Jian Shubai? Li Shubai secretly complained in his heart, turned his head to look at the blue sky that came through the gap between the buildings, and this glimpse almost gave him a heart attack.

A huge gray-black block of steel poked its head into the gap from the wall of the building, and the mechanical fingers made of steel left cracks one after another on the wall of the building.

It looked just like a cat digging into a mouse hole.

"Humph, you're stupid, kid!" Cocolia's annoying voice came out of the loudspeaker again. She sneered, her words full of teasing and the pleasure of playing with her prey. "All Titan mechas are equipped with infrared detectors! Hide? Let me see where you can hide?"

“Are you annoying, old woman?!” Kiana suddenly raised her head like an angry little cat. She cursed while grabbing a trash can nearby and smashing it with a force that could make a sonic boom. “Shut up!”

"What... old woman..."

Bang! Amidst the loud noise of something being smashed, the sound from the loudspeaker with a slight electric sound suddenly stopped.

Only then did Li Shubai understand more deeply how terrifying the strange power of the Kaslana clan was. He swallowed his saliva with a gulp, raised his arm tremblingly, gave a thumbs up to the angry Kiana, and immediately roared: "Run!!"

He could guess what the furious Cocolia would do next without even thinking. Sure enough, when Cocolia saw the video on the monitor turn into dense snowflakes, she was stunned for a moment. The next second, her beautiful and sharp face turned blue and purple, and her expression became hideous and distorted because of anger. Her voice was like nine netherworld ice: "Old woman?!"

Her eyes were almost spitting fire. She viciously turned off the automatic operation of the mecha and switched the operation mode to manual operation. Then, she transferred the window signal of the monitor to the Thunder Mecha equipped with a missile launch system.

The next moment, Kokolia released the safety of all the weapons of the Thunder Mecha, including twelve AIM-9 Sidewinder missiles and sixty Spike micro missiles. All weapons were in good condition and could be launched at any time.

You actually dare to tease me to this extent... Cocolia gritted her teeth and used the HUD sight on the Thunder Mecha to lock the position of Li Shubai and the others. In fact, she didn't want to be so ruthless. Although Raiden Mei is the daughter of Raiden Ryoma, Raiden Ryoma has always protected her very well. So until now, Raiden Mei is still unaware of the existence of Honkai and the Anti-Entropy Organization, and there is no conflict of interest between her and Cocolia.

However, it is unknown what considerations Raiden Ryoma and other executors of Anti-Entropy had in mind, but one of the fragments of the Herrscher's core, the Conquest Gem, was implanted into Raiden Mei's body by her biological father. If it were not for this premise, Cocolia would not have taken the initiative to trigger the third collapse of Changkong City from the beginning.

Therefore, until just now, as long as the Herrscher of Lightning was confirmed to be controllable, and before the Herrscher of Lightning's core became a necessity, Cocolia had no intention of harming Raiden Mei's life.

According to her speculation, the person who controlled the Herrscher of Thunder was most likely Li Shubai. So, if this speculation was correct, Cocolia was indeed not planning to kill Li Shubai.

Contrary to Li Shubai's guess, her negotiations with Li Shubai were indeed sincere in a certain sense.

But she changed her mind now. Bronya, who was supposed to carry out the mission of capturing Raiden Mei, lost contact for unknown reasons after that communication. Although she was worried about Bronya's situation, the top priority now was to capture Raiden Mei, so she took the lead in taking action.

She did have the intelligence advantage and arrived in Changkong City before Raiden Ryoma, but the time when Raiden Ryoma and she were released from prison was almost the same. Every minute wasted, the possibility of Raiden Ryoma arriving in Changkong City increased.

If it comes to that, all efforts will be in vain.

Since you keep hindering me like this - a hint of cruelty flashed in Cocolia's eyes, then don't blame me for leaving no room for you.

There are only three people, using the Thunder-Proof Mecha to carry out indiscriminate saturation fire coverage. If this can still allow them to escape, then I, Cocolia, will really admit defeat today!

Chapter 23: A loud noise in the sky, and the father-in-law(s) make a shining appearance

At the same moment when Kokolia pulled the trigger, the warning light of the Thunder Mech lit up blindingly. With a sharp whistle, the missile engine instantly ignited and completed the launch action, spraying twelve long white smoke trails in the air, like a falcon hunting in perfect harmony in the sky.

The twelve Sidewinder missiles were completely scattered at first when launched, hitting the target building in all four directions of east, south, west and north. Then, at the moment of positioning, they turned at high speed in the air in a tricky arc.

At the same time, all twelve missiles concentrated their attack angles on the same point, and finally rushed downwards!

From the moment Li Shubai roared, Kiana, Raiden Mei followed his instructions without hesitation. The three of them ran almost at the same time, rushing towards the outside of the gap, towards the direction of the street.

Amid the deafening explosion, the shock wave mixed with high temperature and heat wantonly destroyed the buildings on both sides of the gap, and the torn concrete and steel fragments flew everywhere.

The indiscriminate bombing of Sidewinder missiles caused the buildings on both sides of the path to collapse opposite to each other. The roofs collided with each other. After supporting each other for two seconds, the load-bearing walls and key pillars could not bear the weight, causing their gravity to completely lose balance. Then they collapsed from top to bottom, turning into huge irregular stones that fell to the ground.

Before the three people who rushed out of the alley could catch their breath, the continuous sound of breaking air made Li Shubai raise his head suddenly.

One after another, flames rose into the sky, and dense groups of missiles flew towards them with long tails of flames. The sky was filled with flowing lights, turning the pure blue sky into a fiery red.

It took them about three seconds to run out of the alley, and these three seconds were enough for the Thunder Mecha to complete the full reloading of sixty Spike micro-missiles and carry out all the steps of a saturation fire attack.

Li Shubai grabbed Raiden Mei and Kiana without any hesitation, and then, in their eyes filled with surprise and disbelief, he pushed their bodies down and pressed them under him, using his body to protect them as much as possible.

At this point, he no longer cared about the difference between men and women. While doing his best to protect Mei Raiden and Kiana, Li Shubai could only hope that his previous experience after being in a near-death state due to his transformation into a death warrior and the beating from Mei Raiden was not an illusion.

Please... Emergency resuscitation needle, don't let me down. Li Shubai closed his eyes tightly, sweat on his forehead, gritted his teeth, and quietly waited for the shock wave and severe pain that would come later.

Mei Raiden and Kiana were hugged tightly in Li Shubai's arms, face to face. Because of the emergency, Li Shubai did not control the strength of his arms, so to be honest, Kiana and Mei Raiden were a little uncomfortable being hugged like this, and it was undoubtedly not qualified as a hug. But their faces were still involuntarily stained with a hint of red, and their hearts began to beat restlessly.

After a wait that seemed extremely long in the eyes of the three people but was actually only half a second, deafening explosions came one after another, and the hot wind and dust choked Li Shubai so much that he could not breathe.

The loading and launching of sixty micro-missiles took about three seconds, so the chain explosions caused by them did not last long. After about three seconds, the explosion subsided, and the flying shrapnel effortlessly lifted large pieces of land. The spreading air waves and shock waves shattered most of the windows along the street.

Cocolia stared at the monitor intently. The whole street was now covered in dust and thick fog, and the high temperature caused by the explosion had not yet dissipated. Therefore, no matter whether it was video monitoring or infrared monitoring, the pictures displayed on the monitor were all blurry.

But it is winter now, and it is still very windy in Changkong City today. It won't be long before the thick fog caused by the high temperature and explosion dissipates. By then, all the results will be clear.

Although the result was not yet clear, Cocolia couldn't help but smile wildly.

In her opinion, the three people who had endured the indiscriminate bombardment of sixty missiles had no other fate than to be crushed into pieces.

Although it's a pity that we can't get a controllable Herrscher and can only get the Herrscher Core, but... being able to get the Herrscher Core is enough.

Next, as long as——

In an instant, when she saw the scene on the monitor after the fog dissipated, the smile on Cocolia's face froze.

After the street had endured the indiscriminate saturation fire bombardment of the Thunder Mecha, the entire road surface was turned upside down, with dust flying everywhere and thick smoke billowing.

But strangely, Li Shubai didn't feel much pain in his body.

He tried to open his eyes, paying no attention to the two red-faced girls under him, and instead immediately observed his surroundings.

"...?"

The area around was filled with thick fog caused by scattered dust, and nothing could be seen clearly. However, what surprised Li Shubai was that a small area of ​​ground nearby that he could barely see clearly remained intact.

Wait, what's going on with this shadow... Li Shubai was a little dazed. Only then did he notice that the place where he was was covered by a shadow. Then the next second, he suddenly understood.

He raised his head with great effort and turned his sight behind him. The scene that came into his eyes was exactly the same as when the three of them were surrounded not long ago. After the thick fog dissipated, the three huge Titan mechas maintained their original deployment posture, with their backs facing Li Shubai and his men who were bombarded by indiscriminate firepower.

In front of the three Titan mechas, a crystal clear hexagonal shape presented a structure similar to Fengchao, which withstood most of the shock waves from the sixty missiles without any damage.

"Father!" Mei Raiden, who was being held down by Li Shubai, suddenly shouted in surprise. Following Mei Raiden's line of sight, Li Shubai saw the middle-aged man standing on the Titan mecha in the middle. The straight black suit wrapped around the middle-aged man's tall and well-proportioned body, and his hair, the same color as Mei Raiden, was combed neatly. He ignored Mei Raiden's shouting and locked his sights in front of him. Surprising rage was brewing crazily in his already majestic pupils.

He opened his mouth and spoke in a deep voice like a lion whose territory had been invaded: "Ko-ko-Lea-ya!!"

Still not in time? Cocolia bit her thumb nail anxiously, but at this moment, after seeing the image sent back by the monitor, a smile of surprise suddenly flashed across her face.

In the absence of the leader of the Anti-Entropy Alliance and the control of most of the resources of the entire Anti-Entropy by radical executors, the number of tactical mechas that Lei Dian Long Ma could call at one time was very limited. In addition, Lei Dian Long Ma had just been released from prison, and most of the funds frozen by MEI Society had not been completely unfrozen by the Far East government. Therefore, in a hurry, in order to reach Changkong City as soon as possible, Lei Dian Long Ma did not call many tactical mechas.

Seeing that Raiden Ryoma was only driving three MR-01 Titans, Cocolia's calm expression reappeared on her face. She ordered the remaining eleven Titans to come to Raiden Ryoma, and deployed the last four Thunder Mechas that had not yet been deployed to the battlefield for insurance to the rear of the eleven Titans at once. After completing the construction of two battle lines, one far and one near, she turned on the loudspeaker: "Since Mr. Raiden Ryoma is here, let's have a frank talk."

The words had just fallen——

"Sorry."

A frivolous yet somewhat vicissitudes of life voice suddenly echoed in everyone's ears.

This voice... Kiana's face froze slightly, and she raised her head quickly.

The next second, a deafening explosion sounded in all directions, and a sharp and dazzling flame like electric welding pierced through the Titan mecha that had just made the sound like an unstoppable sword.

The sound from the speaker was cut off instantly, and dust quickly spread in all directions.

"As a father, we two have nothing to say to you about someone who threatens our daughter's life." A light and dashing smile appeared on the face of the visitor. He raised his one arm and blew gently at the square barrel of the black and gold pistol in his hand, which was still shining with light.

Holy Judgement of Heavenly Fire.

One-armed.

Silver hair and blue eyes.

Siegfried Kaslana!

Chapter 24: The three-year period has arrived, welcome back the captain!

Not only Kiana, but even Raiden Ryoma was stunned when he saw Siegfried appear.

He used his extremely obscure eyes to inconspicuously glance at the three people who stood up quickly. When he saw the blush on Raiden Mei's cheeks that had not yet faded, a strange look flashed across his eyes. He quickly glanced at Kiana, who had widened her eyes, and Li Shubai, who was obviously relieved, and asked in a flat voice: "I thought you wouldn't be ready in front of her."

"My daughter has been bullied by other bad women. As a father, I must come out to enforce justice." Siegfried turned around and smiled at Kiana, closing one eye. "Right, my lovely daughter."

Hearing this familiar voice that she hadn't heard in several years, Kiana's eyes immediately turned red, but she forced herself to hold back the tears. Instead, she glared at Siegfried, who was smiling, fiercely: "You still know how to come out! You stinky dad!"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Dad will apologize to you later." Siegfried bent down and rubbed his silver hair with the hand that was still holding the Holy Fire Judge. His blue eyes, which were exactly the same as Kiana's, were full of flattery and apology. "Now let me and your uncle Ryoma take care of the enemy in front of us. It won't be slow. It will only take one minute!"

"I don't want to!" Kiana refused decisively. She ran to Siegfried's side, put her hands on her hips, and said in a loud and sharp voice: "They are just a few broken mechas! Look at me, I'm going to beat them up!"

"Wait, Kiana!" Mei Raiden subconsciously stretched out her hand. She followed Kiana's footsteps and came to Ryuma Raiden.

Raiden Ryoma turned his face to the side, and his facial muscles, which had originally looked hard and cold due to his rage, relaxed when he saw Raiden Mei's face. He opened his mouth and asked in a gentle voice that even Raiden Mei rarely heard: "Are you okay, Mei?"

"I'm fine. Father, weren't you—" imprisoned? Perhaps because this topic left a huge psychological shadow on her, Mei Raiden hesitated and didn't say the rest of the sentence.

"You're talking about my imprisonment?" Raiden Ryoma was a little embarrassed, but in order to dispel Raiden Mei's doubts, even though it was embarrassing, he still answered his daughter's question directly: "Just today, the court has revoked the verdict, and the Far East government has also restored my reputation."

"That is to say." Raiden Mei had an expectant expression, her eyes brighter than ever before, "Father, you really were framed..."

"That's right... You must have had a hard time during my time in prison." Raiden Ryoma whispered his apology to his daughter, "I'm so sorry, Mei, because of my negligence, I brought you such painful memories."

"How could that be!" Raiden Mei shook her head vigorously. She blended apology into her voice and said to Raiden Ryoma: "It should be me who should apologize. I should have known that my father was framed. If I had always believed in my father..."

It wouldn't be that simple to be influenced by other people's gossip.

Mei Raiden was not such a fragile person. She was the Menkyo Kaiden of the Hokushin Ittoryu and the best student in Qianyu Academy. Whether it was her intelligence, perseverance, or even her martial arts, she had surpassed her peers by far.

As long as Mei Raiden wanted, she could completely ignore the bullying of her classmates. The reason why her will was shaken so much by the bullying of her peers was precisely because, subconsciously, she had already regarded her father and herself as sinners.

She herself concluded that the words of those classmates who bullied her and insulted her father were not wrong, and thus she lost the will to resist.

In the end, it was Li Shubai's words that finally made her wake up. Raiden Mei let out a long sigh, and her opinion of Li Shubai, whom she used to look down upon, became higher and higher.

But now...

"Father, do you still have weapons?" She raised her eyes and stared into the eyes of Thunder Dragon Horse with a sharp gaze. "If possible, I also want to fight."

Let those who framed your family receive the punishment they deserve - Li Shubai said this to Raiden Mei on the rooftop of Qianyu Academy.

And now, Mei Raiden is ready to turn these words into reality.

Raiden Ryoma looked at Raiden Mei deeply, and he saw a light in his daughter's eyes that he had never seen before.

That is the light of determination.

"You are different from Kaslana's natural powers. If you want to hurt the Titan, ordinary weapons will not work." Raiden Ryoma said calmly. He raised his arm and pointed to the cockpit of the Titan. "There are pulse swords developed by MEI in there. Go and get two."
