I, Hikaru Uchiha, join the chat group

"Ok?"

Uchiha Hikaru was slightly startled, then burst into laughter.

She was still thinking about what excuse to make up to explain the origin of "Gundam" to Xia Mi, but she didn't expect that this little dragon girl's imagination was quite strong. The "spiritual" authority of the White King corresponds to the ability of "fantasy embodiment"... It is indeed quite reasonable.

And this way...

Even if she took out things like the Somersault Cloud, Senzu Beans, Imperial Tools, and even the Nine-Tailed Fox, Xia Mi probably wouldn't find it strange.

"Let's go~"

present.

Uchiha Hikaru waved his hand, then, under the envious gaze of Eri and Xia Mi, he boarded the cockpit of the "Strike Freedom" and controlled the mecha to take off into the air. It spread five pairs of huge blue and black wings by the river, and like a giant bird, it flew towards the "Moniach" several kilometers away.

……

At this moment.

There was already chaos on the "Moniah".

Two hours ago.

Professor Mans, who was in charge of this operation, braved the heavy rain, dived under the river, opened the gate of the "Bronze City", and allowed Ye Sheng and Jiude Aki to go in and explore.

In this process.

Jude Aki was bewitched by the statue in the "Bronze City" and fell into a state of confusion. She first cut her own lifeline and then activated the city's defense mechanism, trapping her and Ye Sheng in it. For this reason, Mans had to send an urgent request for help to the college headquarters.

If no miracle happens...

Then Ye Sheng and Jiude Aki would most likely be trapped and killed in the "Bronze City", or even worse situations might happen.

"...How about it, how long can they hold on?"

In the cockpit, Professor Mance looked solemn.

"...Ye Sheng's 'Snake' can still maintain communication, but I don't know how long it can last. The principal has ordered the headquarters to support the interpretation of the map of 'Qingcheng City', but there has been no news so far. All we can do is wait."

Selma responded.

"...Damn it!"

Mans slammed his fist on the operating table, looking regretful.

He had experienced the Greenland Sea incident ten years ago, and knew very well how dangerous dragons were. Although he was ready to sacrifice himself when he discovered the "Bronze City", he was still unwilling to do so when he was really faced with this situation.

Ye Sheng and Jiude Aki were running out of oxygen. It was extremely difficult to crack the map and evacuate in such a short time. Death was almost inevitable.

unless……

"captain!!"

Selma's voice rang out: "A map was sent from the headquarters, saying that the S-level freshmen of the academy cracked it..."

The words have not yet fallen.

The first mate's voice also sounded from the other side: "Captain, an unidentified creature appeared behind the ship... I'm not sure if it is a creature. I can't describe its appearance. You may have to come and see it yourself."

"?"

Although there are some doubts.

Mance followed his instructions and walked a few steps outside, then looked in the direction the first mate pointed. The next second, he suddenly opened his eyes wide with an expression of shock and inexplicable horror: "What... is that?!!"

this moment.

Everyone on the deck of the "Moniah" saw a huge black shadow flying at a low altitude and approaching them rapidly in the rainstorm.

As the distance got closer, its shape gradually became clearer from blurry - it was actually a huge red and white mecha, streamlined all over, like cast steel or iron, with five pairs of blue and black wings on its back. When spread out, its wingspan reached 20 to 30 meters, looking extraordinary.

“Are you kidding?!”

Mance opened his mouth with an expression of disbelief on his face.

As an old professor in his fifties, he has never read the Gundam series, so he does not know the origin of "Strike Freedom".

However, he still had some idea of ​​what this huge thing in front of him was.

Mecha? !

Could it be something made by those crazy people in the Equipment Department?

and many more……

Mans first subconsciously thought of the Equipment Department, but immediately realized that something was wrong - someone in the Equipment Department might want to develop this kind of thing, but it is impossible to make it without the principal knowing, and it is even more impossible to send it out without informing him, the person in charge of the operation. At this time, appearing in this place, I'm afraid it can only be...

"A masterpiece of dragons?!"

The Bronze and Fire Kings have evolved to this level? A hand-made mecha?!

"Captain, what should I do?"

Selma asked quietly.

Mans simply thought about it for a few seconds before making a decision. He spoke quickly, "...bring the 'key' over here and continue to rescue Ye Sheng and Aki. At the same time, activate the firearms system on the ship. If it moves abnormally, open fire immediately!"

……

the other side.

Uchiha Hikaru sat in the "Strike Freedom", using the six screens in the cockpit to observe any movement in all directions around him, his mind racing.

"…Is this tall and thin guy Professor Mance?"

"It looks ordinary..."

"They should have already sent people to sneak into the 'Bronze City' and are waiting for Shude Aki to come up with the brass jar?"

"Hmm... the shadow that was scanned by the infrared detector underwater and is more than ten meters long is probably the third generation Samson."

Although the "Strike Freedom" that Uchiha Hikaru is currently driving is a modified version of the Red Silk Army's mass-produced mecha, Dr. Gero has added a lot of equipment to it, and the infrared scanner is just one of them. The real killer is the weapons installed inside it.

In addition to conventional artillery shells and missiles, torpedoes for attacking underwater targets can also be loaded into the weapons and equipment storage room of this mecha.

Rumble…

Just during the short moment that Uchiha Guang stopped and watched.

The "Bronze City" under the water, thanks to the efforts of Mans and others, began to emit a deafening roar, as if it had fallen into a rampage. Samson, who was hovering there, also began to swim faster, ready to attack Ye Sheng and the other person who escaped from the exit.

At this moment.

Uchiha Guang finally locked onto the target. After letting out a light breath and confirming the situation, he pressed a button beside him.

"Combat form...activate!"

With the button pressed.

The shell of the "Strike Freedom" began to turn slightly, and machine guns and cannons were set up on the "Strike Freedom", pointing at the turbulent water surface. After a short period of preparation and aiming, the ammunition that had just been loaded into the cannon was fired out in unison! !

this moment.

Six miniature torpedoes tore through the air within a few seconds, then broke through the surface of the Yangtze River, and flew straight towards the shadow of the dragon at the bottom of the water!

Bang bang bang——! ! !

Huge white splashes of water exploded on the surface of the river, splashing more than ten meters high! Under the water, large bubbles also emerged and spread in all directions!

Facing the sudden artillery shells.

The dragons at the bottom of the river showed incredible flexibility, their slender bodies drew an S-shaped trajectory underwater, trying to avoid the impact of the torpedoes. But the torpedoes seemed to have their eyes bulged, slightly deflected at the bottom of the water, and continued to chase them like maggots attached to their bones!

boom--! !

In a flash, two torpedoes hit the dragon first and exploded!

Then there are the remaining four.

As the explosion occurred, bubbles were raised under the river surface. The red flames had turned the river water red. The sound of the explosion was covered by the water curtain that was nearly 100 meters deep. People on the water surface could not hear it clearly.

Just a dozen seconds later, before the bubbles had completely dissipated, a huge black shadow rushed straight into the air along the turbid water!

Wow! !

A huge sound of water sounded!

At this moment, Uchiha Hikaru and everyone on the "Moniah" saw an incredible black shadow breaking through the water surface and rushing straight into the sky with unparalleled power. Under the illumination of the lightning in the sky, the black shadow was as agile as a mad dragon, rising directly to a height of nearly thirty meters, then curled its long tail, hooked one side of the "Strike Freedom"'s wings, and then suddenly pulled it down!

Strike Freedom stumbled.

Then it stopped again in mid-air.

"…You're quite strong."

Uchiha Hikaru sat in the cockpit, operating the remote control with both hands, his eyes slightly narrowed.

The power that came from Samson was nothing short of astonishing.

Although Uchiha Hikaru reacted quickly and stabilized his body in the first place, the struggle between the two sides still caused the mecha's energy to be rapidly consumed, and it dropped by several percentage points in just a few seconds. Moreover, the mecha's shell began to tremble slightly, and a faint whine of being overwhelmed was emitted, as if it would break at any time.

under these circumstances.

Uchiha Hikaru continued to hold the remote control stick with one hand, and pressed the fire button again with the other hand, controlling the gun barrels on both sides of the mecha to deflect the muzzles, and then fired again at the dragon that was close at hand!

boom--! ! !

Another round of salvos!

Samson, who originally tried to drag "Strike Freedom" into the water, never expected that his action would fail miserably.

In mid-air with nowhere to gain support, it only had time to loosen its tail before two micro-missiles pressed down the dark blue scales on its body and it fell directly into the water from mid-air. Then, a violent explosion occurred around it, and it itself was covered in heavy smoke!

After a few seconds.

Several more shells chased after him!

In an instant, the burning flames turned the water surface red, countless bubbles and white smoke rose above the water, and underwater there was a light like molten steel flowing slowly, as if it was close to boiling.

At this moment.

The people on the "Moniah" were already stunned:

"No... Is this a misunderstanding? Why does it feel like this mecha is here to help us?"
