NIKKE, when the stars bloom

"..."

As expected, the deaf lieutenant did not respond to Anis's proposal. Even if he could hear, he would not choose Anis's proposal.

There is also Rabbi who can help them out, and there is also a life-or-death plan that can be implemented...

He is just a tyrant named Letcher who has no wisdom at all. The special squadron is not in desperate situation yet.

"Death model Letcher, spider structure, with energy shield. There is a high-power laser cannon on the head, which cannot be fired instantly.

There is a 32mm airborne Vulcan cannon hanging under the chest, which needs to be dealt with first.

There are ten nano-metal tentacles at the end of the abdomen, which are used to attack targets in blind spots below the torso.

Everyone ran and shot, ready to throw smoke bombs at any time.

Yuni, follow me, I will destroy that Vulcan cannon!"

After the lieutenant said this, he immediately ran towards the remains of Letcher in the south. Seeing this, Yuni, who was already beside Phoenix, naturally would not refuse the commander.

The girl ignored Anis's nagging instructions and immediately followed the lieutenant.

"You only have one chance, Yuni."

But within a short breath, Phoenix had come to the side of a Letcher whose core was damaged but the machine gun structure was intact, and said with a smile:

"If it doesn't work, we'll both probably be shattered into pieces."

Faced with someone's pretended lighthearted teasing, Yuni shook her head vigorously, turning her twin ponytails into rattles.

"Yunni doesn't mind. Yunni just wants to be with the Commander and Mihala all the time."

The girl's confession was so endearing, but unfortunately, it did not reach the ears of the deaf lieutenant.

Clang!

There was a sharp metallic whistling sound, and the man's right arm, which had turned into a pyramid, pierced into Letcher's torso.

[Retrieve fire control system...]

[Search is successful, the circuit is forced to connect, and current operation is performed. ]

The next second, as Anik was reporting, Letcher's dedicated 25mm machine gun, under the control of artificial intelligence, locked onto the Vulcan cannon suspension device of the Death Tyrant.

Bang bang bang bang bang-! ! !

[Calculating recoil data, calculation successful. 】

In milliseconds, the machine gun bullets with extremely strong penetrating power were concentrated on one point, causing ripples on the defense shield of the Death Tyrant and successfully attracting the attention of the giant spider.

"Eunice—!"

There was no need to say more. The moment the Vulcan cannon barrel turned towards Phoenix, Yuni's supernatural power was activated at the same time.

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle…

Due to the girl's interference, the Death Tyrant's energy shield failed miserably for a few tenths of a second.

Bang bang bang bang bang-! ! !

But in this less than one second gap of failure, several 25mm armor-piercing shells successfully hit the suspension device of the Vulcan cannon and easily broke it.

"smoke bomb!"

The man who succeeded in the attack but failed to turn into slag had bloodshot eyes, a grin on his face, and roared in excitement, almost madly:

"Get close and kill it for me!!!"

Chapter 243: Don’t Call Another Girl’s Name in Front of Another Girl

If Yuni's ability has no effect on the Tyrant-class Letcher, then under the terrifying firepower of the Vulcan Cannon, there is a 99% chance that Phoenix will be turned into debris.

Unfortunately, reality only talks about results, not ifs.

And the result this time was that a certain crazy hatter who liked to gamble with his life won the bet again.

The moment the Vulcan cannon landed, Nikki and the others saw a chance for the entire squadron to survive.

Without the fire suppression of the artillery and shrouded in a large amount of interfering smoke, Lavi and others simply came to the abdomen of the Death Tyrant and pulled the trigger at the giant spider's abdominal cavity without hesitation.

All of a sudden, shotgun, charge, assault, sniper...all kinds of bullets were thrown at the ten defensive tentacles of the Death Tyrant like they were free.

Without the protection of an energy shield, nanometal is still metal after all. How can it withstand the firepower bombardment of nearly ten gun lines?

In just three seconds, one of the tentacle was broken off by Nikki and her friends.

Outside the court, Phoenix quickly picked up Yuni, who was staggering beside him.

Even if the interference was only for a few tenths of a second, the huge energy consumption was enough to make the girl faint from daze.

sieve--

Holding Yuni in his arms, the man took advantage of the smoke and rushed to the blind spot of the giant spider's abdomen without stopping.

Logically speaking, even if he withdrew now, it would not have much impact on the battle situation, but the laser cannon above the Death Tyrant's head was not destroyed, and the outer circle was still an extremely dangerous one-shot kill zone.

However, what happened next once again proved that the battlefield was changing rapidly.

Perhaps realizing that the situation was unfavorable to him, the Death Tyrant, whose two tentacles had been broken, actually made a move to retreat back to the valley.

It... is it trying to escape?

Not only Phoenix was surprised, even the battle-hardened Lavi and Marian couldn't believe it.

Tyrant-class Letchers are also Letchers. They may be smarter, but they still cannot escape the basic logical framework of Letcher. They are not like Xiaocao, who seems rough but is actually cunning.

Unless... there is an intelligent Letcher giving it orders.

There's an intelligent Letcher around here?!

The Nikkis, who thought they were about to win, were once again in a state of despair. At this moment, they were injured or disabled, and even if they all risked their lives, they could not be a match for the "roaring" beast.

Is it still unavoidable?

After blowing up the Death Tyrant's third tentacle and rolling to avoid another tentacle's sweep, Lavi immediately drew his gun to counterattack, pursed his lips tightly, and made a final assessment of the situation.

She has a secret, a secret known only to Ingrid, Mana and a few others.

——There are actually two Nikki cores placed in her body. She can use part of the power of another core to greatly improve the performance of the body in a short period of time.

CEO Ingrid named this misappropriation behavior the Little Red Riding Hood Model.

As for what kind of sequelae will occur after activating the Little Red Riding Hood mode, Rabi is not sure. Perhaps he will slowly be possessed by the personality data remaining in the core?

The possibility of a change in one's own thinking cannot be ruled out.

Even Mana warned repeatedly that unless it was a matter of life and death, it was strictly forbidden to open another core.

So... do you want to enable it?

Just as Rabi was hesitating, Phoenix, who was running towards him with Yuni in his arms, suddenly realized the purpose of the Death Tyrant's retreat back to the valley.

——There is no intelligent Letcher nearby, because this mechanical spider is not retreating at all!

"Attack the right joint!"

The man yelled at the top of his lungs, fearing that the members in the voice channel didn't hear clearly what he was saying.

"Don't let it get stuck in the valley, or we won't be able to move!!!"

Honestly, the second lieutenant's words were very logically abrupt. Nikkis like Michal, Diesel and others simply couldn't understand what their commander was saying in such a short period of time.

Only Labi and Marian, who had rich combat experience, could immediately understand what Phoenix wanted to express.

The reason they were able to stand in the blind spot of the tyrant's abdomen was because both sides were on level ground. So, assuming that the tyrant chose to climb on the cliff of the valley, the so-called blind spot would temporarily disappear.

It is true that the tyrant hiding behind the cliff cannot be attacked, but they are also unable to leave this place.

As long as the two sides are three or four hundred meters apart, this giant mechanical spider can climb up again and use the fully charged laser cannon to launch a devastating attack on the squadron.

We can't let it go down the valley!

Boom boom boom——! ! !

As soon as Phoenix finished speaking, a sea of ​​fire exploded from the connection point between the torso and legs of the Death Tyrant. It was the response from Anis and Tia to the lieutenant.

Then, when the sea of ​​fire dissipated, the translucent honeycomb energy shield was exposed to everyone's eyes, mercilessly mocking everyone's efforts.

——Insufficient firepower.

The total battle time was less than a minute, and Nikki and the others' firepower was all concentrated on the spider's tentacles, so that the Death Tyrant's shield energy was still very sufficient and was not afraid of the explosion of a few grenades and rockets at all.

How to do?

Clearly, we had the upper hand just a second ago...

Faced with such a desperate situation, the lieutenant first nodded and looked at the unconscious Yuni in his arms, and then raised his head as if with telepathy and met the eyes of Lapi not far away.

There is no other way.

In the face of absolute defense, sophisticated tactics are so pale and ridiculous.

He really tried his best...

Just when Phoenix calmly accepted the cruel reality and was about to nod to Rabi!!!

Six purple-gold lights that seemed to be strong enough to split the space descended from the sky and enveloped the top of the Death Tyrant's torso.

Then, the sonic boom caused by breaking the sound barrier finally came, like a bolt from the blue, rippling across the blue dome.

The sudden attack forced the energy shield to flicker wildly and fade rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye. However, when the squadron members who were unaware of the situation thought that the Death Tyrant's shield was about to be defeated, the six purple-gold lights suddenly disappeared without a trace...

boom--! boom--! boom--!

Immediately, there was a roar of explosive gunfire, which not only completely wiped out the last bit of luster of the energy shield, but also tore apart the laser turret of the Death Tyrant.

Who?

The man who had witnessed the true strength of the Goddess Army was not surprised by this, but looked up towards the south towards the sound of gunfire.

Under the sun,

More than a hundred meters in the air,

The figure, like that of a six-winged angel, was against the bright and warm light, making it impossible to see its face clearly.

air force???

Gazing at Nikki from the sky in the distance, the lieutenant subconsciously murmured a name, a name that once belonged to the Goddess Corps, a name that should not be shouted out at this time and in this occasion.

"Dorothy?"

As soon as the words fell, it happened in the blink of an eye!

The moment Phoenix uttered those three damn words, the pretty figure that was hanging in the sky a second ago suddenly appeared in front of him, occupying his vision with her appearance and body.

Dark purple hair like dark lilac, a purple and black tactical uniform and three pairs of incomprehensible golden floating light wings.

It's Isabel...

...Is it that paranoid yandere stalker? ! !

"Dorothy... Dorothy..."

When the girl heard that the lieutenant had mistaken her for a slutty bitch, her voice became icy cold, just like the look in her eyes.

"You are reluctant to marry me because you are still thinking about Dorothy?"

Someone: “……?”

Nikki: “???”

Chapter 244: I'm Really Going to Be Caught and Used as a Prostitute

If the Death Tyrant had a personality, then at this moment it would most likely be furious and powerless because no human being cared about it.

Sadly, it has no personality.

Just like Phoenix called a girl's name by the wrong name, he regretted it so much that his intestines turned green. There is no medicine for regret.
