The girl with white hair and red eyes is serious about revenge

However, now that we have come this far, it seems that the only option left is to trust our companions...

Pace cleared his throat and shouted to the soldiers behind him:

"march!"

......

After walking in the forest that blocked out the sun for half an hour, Pace felt his nerves were a little tense.

He couldn't help but recall his experience in the strange fog forest - he was much weaker at that time than he is now, and even the fog in the jungle seemed like a man-eating monster.

Although he has become stronger now, this point seems to have not changed.

After walking in the jungle for so long, Pace did not notice any movement at all - according to his common sense, there should be many indigenous people in the forest of Lavis. These people are the poorest group even in the border city of Lavis. They can only build houses in the forest and live in a nearly primitive tribal form.

But now, the forest seemed dead, without even the sound of birds singing. The only thing that remained unchanged was probably the thin mist.

Maybe it’s because of the launch of [Tower of Babel]... or is there another reason?

"..."

Pace was looking around as the Frontier cruised on his side. In this mode, the only thing it could do was walk, and it couldn't provide much fire cover.

But Pace didn't want to sit in that iron coffin all the time. It was too stuffy. He wanted to breathe a little longer.

At this moment, Vasily's voice suddenly came from the radio:

"Four o'clock. I'm approaching."

When Pace turned his head, he saw Vasily jumping down from the branch nimbly and landing beside him.

"We've checked everything, no signs of enemy activity, but we found this..."

Vasily showed what he had in his hand to Pest: it was a bone with half a piece of military uniform hanging on it, and the edges were stained with blood.

Pace pulled the piece of uniform off the bone, sniffed it, and frowned:

"The smell of blood is strong... it was not long ago..."

"This fragment is from the uniform of the Federation soldiers," Vasily nodded, "It seems that someone is in trouble..."

In fact, it was not difficult for them to imagine what had happened here. From the information provided by the "Newsboy" before, they learned that the military power of the Federation was being controlled by Roger MacArthur, and these soldiers might be under his command.

Roger's men died in the jungle? What had attacked them?

"In short, we must be more vigilant," Vasily pressed the radio, "Yelena, any news?"

"I saw the Factor Observatory. It seems that they were evacuated urgently because of the launch of the Tower of Babel." There was a whistling sound of wind coming from Ye Lina's side. "It is possible that there are people on duty inside."

"The sky is normal at the moment, but... I see the Tower of Babel is accumulating energy... the factor cloud in the distance is gathering." Harry's voice came.

"Looks like we need to speed up." Pace nodded.

As a result, the marching speed began to increase. After personally confirming the surrounding conditions, Vasily began to march with the troops and handed over the task of reconnaissance to some confidants of the Guards Corps.

"Are you nervous, Lord?" Vasily teased, taking out a cigarette and lighting it.

"Of course I'm nervous," Pace looked around, "Aren't you nervous?"

"Me? A little bit. For someone like me who has a wife and children, my life is more valuable than yours."

"Go to hell," Pace smiled without any airs, "Aren't you afraid that you won't be able to go back?"

"I'm afraid. That's why I can't be a coward at a time like this."

Vasily exhaled a puff of smoke, then turned to ask Pace:

"Let me ask you something. Which moment do you think is more tense, now or at the Wanren Mountain execution ground?"

"That should be now," Pace said, "Back then, I threw away the family emblem and went to save people. Now the burden is heavy... I'm afraid I can't be so bold..."

"You've grown up so fast... You were still a little brat on the execution ground. Remember that time on the mountain road? I jokingly recommended that you break into the Iron Fortress to clear the name of the Monark family... I didn't expect that you really broke into the Iron Fortress in the end..." Vasily suddenly sighed.

"Thank you for helping me open a hole, otherwise I wouldn't be able to save the little princess..." Pess murmured.

He recalled his reckless self: a good-for-nothing who was drunk in the hotel the day before, and the next second he rushed up the Wanren Mountain and seized the Monarch family's mansion.

Before he had even sat in the mansion for a few seconds, he casually threw the family crest to his younger brother and rushed into the Iron Fortress, just because the girl really looked like his sister.

Pace suddenly felt that he missed the reckless and decisive self. After becoming a "tyrant", he seemed to have become even more ruthless, but this was only because he had more and more burdens behind him.

Everything happened so fast that he didn't have time to grow up.

......

6) Under the Tower of Babel (Part 4)

Seeing Pace's expression, Vasily sighed:

"In fact, I can't say whether you are better or Mikhail is better... You are young and decisive, but you are still a teenager after all and have not fully grown up; and although Mikhail has forged an iron fist that cannot be broken by wind and snow during the war between warlords, he is too far away from us, has no human touch, and can't see what the mountain people want."

“My daddy said if the mountain folks missed those days, they’d find them eventually.”

Pace recalls the fire in the fireplace:

"Laplace is right. I am the one who was pushed out by the mountain people. I am the one holding the umbrella. And the hand holding the umbrella must not tremble."

"Because, when a drop of rain from the times falls on a person, it becomes a huge wave."

After Pace finished speaking, Vasily nodded approvingly:

"It has quite a poetic vibe. To be honest, Wanren Mountain has produced quite a few poets and writers in modern times. It seems that they have formed something called the 'Wind and Snow School'. Are you interested in joining them?"

"If there is still Wanren Mountain after this war, I think I will." Pace chuckled and sighed.

The two chatted intermittently, and in the blink of an eye, more than ten minutes had passed, and the jungle was still quiet.

At this time, it was less than five hundred meters away from the Factor Observation Station.

At this moment, Harry's voice came over the radio:

"At six o'clock, the woods are shaking! Something is coming!"

Hearing this, Pace immediately drew out the hand cannon from his waist, while Vasily jumped up with the help of the giant armor and jumped onto a solid branch.

He raised the mechanical bow in his hand, aimed in the direction Harry said, and scanned quickly.

Sure enough, he saw the trees shaking wildly, and something was leaping rapidly among the branches, heading towards them.

"Concentrate the formation and prepare for covering fire." Vasily ordered in a low voice.

The soldiers raised their guns, aimed at the woods, and waited for the giant to appear.

Suddenly, the sound disappeared as the ground shook.

"Hmm?" Pace turned his head privately, holding the hand cannon in one hand and the hilt of the [Svarog] sword behind him with the other.

Just when everyone was feeling strange, the ground began to shake again.

Then, there was the splashing of mud—

"boom--"

There was a loud bang, and the ground under the feet of the marching team was torn apart, and a huge black shadow jumped out from below.

A sharp light flashed, blood splattered along with broken pieces of flesh, and screams were heard incessantly.

Pace immediately fired continuously at the huge black shadow, but all the factor energy bullets seemed to be swallowed up by the darkness on his body, and a dark outline spread on his flesh.

The monster swung its claws again and tore open the chests of several soldiers. Only then did Pace see the guy's true appearance.

It was an unidentified humanoid figure made up of machines and black flesh. There were faint red lines on its body surface, and its face, which was half machine and half flesh, looked extremely hideous.

Its arms were mechanical, but they had a pair of sharp claws made of black hard material, with some of the soldiers' flesh and blood entangled on them.

Even though it no longer looked like the original person, Pace recognized him at a glance——

——It’s Zu Truman.

“Roar————”

Zu Chumen let out a howl, waving its claws towards Pace, with a fierce red light flashing in its eyes.

"Don't you call yourself a scientist? How did you become a brainless monster?" Pace sneered, and seized the opportunity to swing the giant sword behind him fiercely -

"boom--"

Svarog's flaming blade hit Zuchumen's head, tearing its flesh and blood, but it didn't seem to feel any pain at all. Instead, it swung its claws violently and knocked Pace away for a distance.

Just as it was about to chase, a stream of arrows hit it continuously along its spine, causing a series of explosions after a short delay.

"Boom, boom, boom, boom -"

Zu Chumen took two steps back. Just as Pace was about to continue his attack, Vasily in the tree shouted:

"Don't fight him! His target is not you! It's [Frontier]!"

Pace turned his head and realized that what Vasily said was correct - Zu Chumen was not facing him, but the [Frontier] which was cruising on automatic cruise.

"Does he want to... seize the Empowered Machine of [Frontier]?"

Looking at Zu Chumen's horrifying half-human, half-machine face, Pace suddenly realized that Vasily was right.

It seems that after being severely injured, Zu Chumen seemed to have entered a state of loss of control. Hafurgard's red veins prevented him from dying, so he could only maintain his instincts...

His instinct... is to gather towards the nearest similar force?

Without giving it any more thought, Pace jumped directly onto the Frontier and quickly took over the controls.

"I will immediately lead people to the energy observatory to hold him back."

"Glad to help." Vasily nodded.

"No, you go ahead, I'll hold him back."

A bronze shadow descended from the sky, and the [Steam Military Police] raised his head and produced a hand cannon in his hand.

"Boom, boom, boom, boom -"

The powerful crimson factor energy cannons continuously hit Zu Chumen, pushing it back, and the other soldiers all found the right moment to fire together, suppressing it briefly.

"The Master's debt is still with him!" Harry roared, "It's this monster! Right! It can only be him!"

The structure on Harry's wrist changed, and a mechanical spear appeared in his hand. He leaned forward and stabbed Zu Chumen fiercely with the spear.

"You guys leave quickly!"

Harry roared and swung his spear. Zu Chumen roared and began to fight back. The red light could not penetrate its skin, but it seemed to make it feel extremely painful.

Seeing Harry's figure, Pace inexplicably recalled his carefree self back then.

His motherland has been destroyed, and his closest relatives have died one after another. He is even more desperate than I was back then...

Pace thought so and signaled to Vasily:

"Let's go."

The [Frontier] took its first steps and quickly moved towards the factor energy observatory under the escort of Vasily and several soldiers.

Zu Chumen seemed even angrier. It roared and tried to chase, but was once again forced back by the scarlet machine gun.

"Your enemy is me (E.T.L.)!" Harry shouted. "For Chadwick Smith, for Achilles, for His Majesty the King (E.T.L.)!"

In an instant, the bronze shadow accelerated to its extreme speed, and accompanied by exploding steam, it rushed towards the half-human, half-mechanical giant.

......

In the sky, Ye Lina looked down at the factor energy observatory not far away - the observatory consisted of a huge receiving antenna and a building below, and it seemed to also have certain communication functions.

Maybe... it could be used to send information to the outside world?

Ye Lina was just heading this way, when suddenly, a series of blue lights exploded in the distance, followed by a series of factor energy cannons that swept past her wings.

"...!"

She changed her posture quickly and observed at the same time, and found that a small defense line had been deployed around the factor energy observatory - the federal defense line.

It seems that I have been discovered.

Ye Lina turned the silver sword in her hand and suddenly stopped it in the air, pointing the tip of the sword towards the defense line:

"Hors!" she screamed.
