If she couldn't find a high-value target, she would prioritize picking out the larger ones that looked the most threatening. Her tactics were simple, but not easy to execute.
"Senior, watch your step."
"Hualing, let's split up these mechas! As long as the troops can't catch up, they can't threaten the teacher. Just go all out! After three years of fighting side by side - let me enjoy it!"
The big golden retriever flew up - she finally activated her jetpack, but it was far from the Pilots' method of using it in a limited way. Asuna directly pulled the power of the pack to the maximum, as if she was about to "leap into the sky and travel all over the world."
Unlike other students who just try to protect their teachers, Asuna appreciates and enjoys the cooperation with Teacher Sora and the trust in each other fighting side by side. She also believes that her teacher will let her immerse herself in the joy of carrying out her mission.
When Kong was still a Tarkov superman, she understood one thing: the teacher's strength was far above Nero and even Kong Qi, and as long as she took on her "role" well, it would be enough to help the teacher solve his problems.
“Ahahahaha – so happy!!”
The backpack pulled at full force pushed her directly to a height of about ten stories, and FAMAS attacked Xiongshi's head like a head-on attack - if the snow and fog had not been thick enough, the iron guards stationed in the distance would probably have been able to see the arrogant figure of the big golden-haired man.
Asuna's laughter even made the Earth Fire people who didn't know her personality feel a little scared and uneasy - how could this girl laugh so wantonly above the heads of the densely packed mechas? ?
196. The passive power of the European Emperor has been exerted!
Although it may be a bit preconceived to say this, Sora has always believed that Asuna was born to belong on the battlefield.
Unlike many girls in Kivotos who treated modern tactics as homework and did not enjoy it, Asuna always treated it as a way to relax when she was fighting.
Anyone who has seen her running through the hail of bullets would abandon the prejudice that she is a weak woman and be shocked by her "madness".
He radiated a genuine smile, not showing contempt for the battlefield, but transforming the excitement brought by the battle into a wonderful reflection and interest.
The danger of bullets and gunpowder brushing past her nose enhanced her ability to understand the outside world and strengthened her understanding of her own life...
Many characteristics of a battle maniac that ordinary people cannot understand can be seen in Asuna, but her way of having fun is more pure and is not confined to the battle itself.
C&C could always satisfy her needs in the name of secret missions... help her find a place to play, a suitable reason, or even a playmate like Kong. Any variables in the mission could prompt her to pounce on it and have fun, and playing mixed with socializing formed a lifestyle that was unique to her.
Unlike those guys who enjoy hurting others, Asuna enjoys battles and missions, and even has the spare time to care about other people's feelings. Once the other party is unwilling to continue playing this kind of game with her, she will restrain some of her overly jumpy nature and package it under the cloak of a maid.
Of course, the premise is that the other party can still be considered a "human".
The joy that Beloberg brought her far exceeded her previous school life.
She didn't have to deliberately control the position of her attack, she could just attack as hard as she wanted... These creatures of the Rift Valley were the teacher's enemies, and there was no need to worry about diplomatic issues in defeating them, nor would she be complained by classmates for being too heavy-handed, nor would she have to worry about a long compensation bill - every shot was filled with sparks, it was a thrilling experience, and the flashing shields like sparkling gems even activated Asuna's unique pursuit of battlefield aesthetics.
After seeing Asuna's leaping figure, Sora was certain that Huan Yue would definitely approve of her increasing pleasure.
"Boom!"
While firing, she uttered meaningless onomatopeia, and her scattered golden hair blossomed into a golden flower as she spun, as if briefly blowing away the snow mist. The Kumashiki, whose mechanical eyes were shattered by Hua Lin, had his entire metal skull exploded by her leaping and shooting, like a broken fig, with wires mixed with ice flying everywhere.
It was a fatal blow to humans, but for robots it was just the destruction of a means of detection. The "fat" machine that had been harassed repeatedly finally made an effective counterattack - its mechanical arm picked up a spider-like robot that was parallel to it on the ground, and threw it fiercely towards Asuna who was freely falling from a high place. Everyone was stunned by the action of not cherishing its "ally" at all.
"Asuna, change direction in the air! Activate the left back nozzle!!"
"Don't worry about me, teacher--!!"
Asuna's response to the whistling mecha projectiles could only be described as chaotic. She did not activate the auxiliary nozzle of the tactical suit to adjust her aerial posture like the Sky Teacher did. Instead, she turned the FAMAS sideways, turned her body half a circle, and pressed the gun against the whistling fist-shaped mecha, pushing herself to the other side as if she was crossing a balance beam.
If it got any closer, she would be blown away!
And he didn't know if it was an illusion, but Kong seemed to see an ominous light flashing on the body of the robot that was thrown away, and sparks were flying in the gaps between its joints. It looked very unstable.
"That child...is he going to die?"
Eula, who is not much older than Asuna, can be considered a "gymnastics" master in a sense, but her imagination and courage are a little too "young", which makes her sigh in admiration while being frightened.
"Don't get too close to the Spider-Type, girl! This thing's power system is flawed, and it will likely self-destruct if subjected to a severe impact. There's a certain chance it will explode!!"
Not knowing how loudly Sora and Eula were shouting in the public channel, old Sergei's first reaction when he saw Asuna's life-threatening operation was to remind her that the bear-style throwing of "her own people" was not because she was angry, but because she was using her teammates as cannonballs.
Nearly two hundred meters away, Sergei's shouting became somewhat blurred amid the twisting and crawling sound of the machinery, and Asuna only heard words like "explosion".
But then the spider-like creature that naturally fell along a parabola to the ground emitted a flash similar to the marrow of the earth, and crashed into the old-fashioned columnar heater on the street, exploding with a loud bang.
"...Ah?"
The wild hot wind blew on Asuna's face, who was about to smile into a crescent moon just now, and gave her a shock. Her body rolled forward, and the backpack cushioned most of the gravitational potential energy, and she rolled twice on the side of the wreckage that was still warm.
But just as she turned around to aim, Kumashiki picked up a Spider-Type that was ready to sacrifice for the Rift at any time, and threw it at Asuna who fell on the street and could not find cover immediately.
If he hadn't known that Kumashiki had no emotions, Old Sergei would have even had the illusion that Kumashiki was using the throwing technique to vent his anger to attack Asuna.
Two-thirds of the parabola was gone in a flash. After seeing the destruction caused by the robot, Asuna's first reaction was to move away from the explosion range. She swung the rifle in both hands to her shoulder, and then she ran close to the ground as if trying to race with a flying prop.
"boom!"
The fragments of the exploding mecha flew almost along the curve of Asuna's buttocks. If they went a little lower, they would have cut the fair skin under her protective suit. But fortunately, even though she was caught in the explosion, she was not hurt at all. The dense components and ice chips could have shot her into a sieve, but they all miraculously avoided her and blew up the abandoned grocery store behind her, leaving a vague human outline on the wall.
It wasn't that her aura blocked the attack - the fragments really didn't even touch her.
"How can you throw it so accurately even if the sight is broken? No, that thing is not a Bear, it's a Deep Frost Prowler."
Sambo had taken out a telescope and was observing the battlefield. He looked as if he was ready to run away after making his assessment.
"Get ready to retreat, boss. We can't stop it with so few people, especially two of us."
"Hmm? Do you know that thing? Can you tell me if it has any weaknesses?"
Sora's first reaction was to be able to deal with the decomposition of the creation... Although Karin and Asuna's bullets were both attached with the "mysterious" attribute, since they were able to break through the opponent's defense, it meant that both he and Eula, including the Black Tower, could effectively destroy all robots.
"The weakness is that if we are determined to escape, it won't be able to catch up with us, and it will get stuck in the pipe."
Sambo put down the telescope with a helpless look on his face. His drooping eyes made him look not only unmotivated but also listless.
The feeling that this guy gave Kong was not that he was "afraid of losing the fight", but that "there's no fun in fighting, so it's better to run away and save trouble."
"If there are only so few robots, we can still handle it, but we have to consider the cost-effectiveness of energy consumption..."
Eula and her students will consume energy when they go into battle. How to save this cost and what the cost-effectiveness is if they fight are all tests of Kong's strategic vision.
"Asuina, the free play ends here! You are too far away from me, I may not be able to support you right away - find a place to hide first!"
Just now, Asuna was only one step away from being injured by the fragments. Although he trusted her leopard-like agility and her skills that were not inferior to some pilots, Kong still ordered her to protect herself as much as possible.
"Wait for my next diversion order—"
"Got it. Ah, but that fat guy doesn't seem to be letting me go."
Even though she was in the most dangerous place, Asuna's face flushed slightly, and she regained the real feeling of being "alive" and the long-lost happiness. While running, her originally round and lovely thighs showed off her toned muscle lines without any stiffness, and her turning and jumping movements were full of explosive power, as if she was not a weak person hiding between shelters, but was looking for an opportunity to jump out from behind the house, ready to make a fatal blow at any time.
Seeing that Asuna, who was running towards the alley, was still firmly locked by the Bear with his head exploded, and the third mecha bomb was about to be thrown out, the muscles in Kong's arms twitched, and he raised the battle axe over his shoulder. Under the ghostly gazes of Shiluva and Sergei, he swung the axe, which was taller than him, behind him and prepared to throw it, obviously intending to use it as a flying axe to interrupt the "charge" of the Deep Frost Wanderer.
If it was a hand axe, it would be fine, but this thing looked heavier than Sergei when it was swung in the air, and the old man immediately regretted his bold words.
"Boom!"
But something happened that stunned Kong and his companions who had no chance to cut in.
Before the axe was swung out, the poor spider-shaped creature in the Wanderer's hand performed an "I Split" move on the spot, and exploded in the monster pile before it even left his hand. The smoke and dust from the explosion covered the Wanderer's body, scratching many grooves and silver marks on its dark blue armor coating. The shields around it flickered, and it was obvious that it had suffered a huge amount of friendly damage.
“…Isn’t the quality too unstable?”
The bulge in his muscles gradually subsided, and Sora was unsure if he really needed to lose a battle axe to break free.
In a blink of an eye, the big golden retriever ran fifty or sixty meters, and the distance between them widened instantly. A few of the mechas at the end of the team were originally following Asuna's footsteps and wanted to surround her, but the robots in the front with "traffic light" heads could not catch up, so they had to turn around and join the main force and stop chasing.
In this battle royale with unclear goals and meanings, even though the surrounding mechas were more or less affected and paralyzed, with limbs missing, the Wanderer still had no intention of giving up bombarding Asuna - it seemed to have developed some kind of obsession.
This time it was not an illusion. Kong and Lao Xie were both sure that large sparks were flying out of the other party's exposed electrical wires, as if they were trying to express their anger through overload, which had gone beyond the scope of rage.
Another unlucky guy was picked up by it - the remaining small mechas all scattered like birds and beasts, fearing that this bad-tempered fat man would use them as cannon fodder. Machines were crowded against each other, and the situation gradually got out of control. Even the follow-up troops squeezed the mechas marching on the ground onto the walls and terraces, causing these mechas who had no sense of humor to spontaneously perform a unique drama that only humans could appreciate.
The companion's nameless anger resonated with him, and another fat man who was farther away from him also picked up a "Beetle" that would not self-destruct at hand, ready to show the train team and the ground fire what a high-tech catapult is.
But before it could throw, Hua Lin's attack arrived.
Kong's request was not to destroy the opponent, and she didn't even need to contain him. Instead, she could help in more ways.
I said I would protect my senior, so I will definitely keep my word.
The 20mm armor-piercing bullet pierced through the beetle-type gun in its hand that it had no time to throw, and it quickly pulled the bolt to change fire, hitting the spider that had already flown halfway over the alley where Asuna was.
"Hit, target destroyed."
Hua Lin threw away another shell without any joy or sadness. Since the other party completely ignored her, there was no need to run too far. She could just disgust them - she used this trick to pin Quan Laoba to death outside the circle during the previous chicken-eating competition. Compared with Quan Laoba, she was more than capable of dealing with these mechas with pre-recorded commands.
As for blowing up the mecha in mid-air - if it was a flying disc, it would still be a bit difficult for Hua Lin at this distance, but the size of the mecha was more than one meter in diameter... and it was very round, so it was easy to identify.
They also have built-in lights to help with aiming and identifying weak spots, giving Karin the same feeling as shooting balloons with a laser-triggered rifle at a festival.
The uninjured wanderer swayed and found that his fellow villager only had half a leg left.
Its pointed head, which somewhat resembled a rhinoceros beetle, lowered and, along with its confused colleagues, it remained offline for a few seconds, as if they were all doubting the machine.
On the other side, the headless fat man whose flying props were blown up again also experienced the final explosion in silence.
Its body emitted an indigo halo, and it was like spitting in all directions, venting the centuries-old ice chips in the gaps of its armor as if complaining about the injustice of the world. As the glow of ice and fire intertwined on its body, some small mechas that had already crawled far away turned into glowing matter surging like mud and flew towards its body, quickly filling the gaps in its armor and repairing its head observer.
The fat man, full of energy again, took a step forward, as if he had vented his anger and said goodbye to Ou Gou and his gloomy self, and continued to approach the base, as if he had let go of his enemy Asuna and reconciled with his past self.
But the gushing ice debris did not cause any trouble to the train crew, except for hitting a few mechas that had moved as far away from it as possible.
The people in the building seemed to see from that brief self-reconciliation the endless emptiness after the African’s impotent rage, as well as the sad accusation against the European dog.
197. The Doctor is indispensable, but the Black Tower is replaceable
"Looking at it this way, there are really a lot of them..."
Kumashiki suffered a serious setback, but the seemingly endless minions under his command came rushing in, almost overwhelming the entire street, forcing Kong, who originally thought he could resist by force, to re-evaluate their threat level.
Then the system started to alarm, a new hostile unit was entering the map scanning range——
"We destroyed some of them, and they also had some internal conflicts, but other rifts kept popping up... Those red dots are actually converging? Tsk."
Black Tower felt that it would be better if the map function synchronized with Kong's broken system was not made public, as it was too depressing to the morale——
But regardless of Heita's complaints, the moment the front line touched the stronghold, Kong took the lead and jumped down the building, and specifically asked Heita to join the second echelon of the interception.
Those half-mechanical, half-split world creatures like to say "My name is Magnetic Rod" when they have a disagreement. Kong has to pay more attention to the possibility of casualties when his teammates fight with each other, and the puppets in the Black Tower are replaceable consumables, so there will be fewer worries when participating in the battle.
When I brought her down, I had actually considered something similar in advance, but I didn't expect the application scenario to come so quickly...
"Bah!!!"
Electric currents passed through Kong's ears, and Shiluva plucked her strings fearlessly, like a bard and a wizard. Thunderbolts struck the wave of mechas, quickly paralyzing those beetle-types that did not have time to generate shields, buying some maneuvering space for Kong and the black tower.
But soon she noticed that the west wall began to make dense climbing sounds, and her face suddenly turned green - those insect-like mechas had begun to invade the high points.
