Chapter 167: Extreme Assassin
"Where did Akashi go?"
Hearing Lin Lan's shocked expression, the Iron-Blooded Ship girls realized that Akashi, who had been following them, disappeared at some point.
"She was with me just now. When did she disappear?"
Z1 clenched her fists and spoke. Although she did not have a very close relationship with the little profiteer Zhongying, she had always been by Akashi's side just now.
Now that Akashi has disappeared so suddenly, Z1, who considers himself the eldest sister, feels regretful about why he didn't take a good look at Akashi.
While everyone was looking around anxiously for Akashi, Z2, the burgundy-eyed little Lolita who had been silent, spoke.
"Commander, I saw before that Akashi got into those Tomahawk military mechas."
Lin Lan was stunned when he heard Z2's words.
The Purifier just made all the Tomahawk military personnel and mechas disappear.
Although the Purifier is talking about teleporting the guys from Tomahawk Military Industry out of the Mirror Sea, who knows if this is true or not?
Without even thinking about it, Akashi must have been packed away by the Purifiers when he secretly climbed onto those mechas.
"Commander, I don't think you need to worry. Our Iron-Blooded Mirror Sea also has the function of teleporting people or things inside, exactly the same as what the Purifier just did."
Seeing that Lin Lan's face was very ugly, Prince Eugen pointed his index finger to his mouth, showed a reassuring smile, and said to Lin Lan.
Egil also looked at Lin Lan and added:
"As long as the destruction of the nodes in the mirror sea is lifted, we will definitely be able to see Akashi after we go out."
After hearing what Eugen and Egil said, Lin Lan was temporarily relieved and decided to destroy the nodes in this mirror sea first.
As long as the mirror sea area is lifted, he will naturally be able to see Akashi who was teleported.
But when he thought of Akashi's petty theft just now, he couldn't help but feel angry in his heart, and he said with a smile and curse:
"What is this green-haired kitten doing in someone else's mecha? I'm really convinced."
Now that he knew that Akashi was not in any danger for the time being, Lin Lan and the ship girls headed in the direction pointed out to them by the Purifier just now.
With the help of his fire-preventing jade beads, the flames blocking the way were dispersed.
The collapsed buildings were quickly cleared away by the dragon ships of the Iron-Blooded Ship Girls.
"Don't come here, all citizens of Oran, leave the city as soon as possible."
Just when everyone was about to reach the edge of the city, Lin Lan suddenly heard a clear girl's voice faintly ringing in his ears.
"Egil, did you hear anything?"
Lin Lan stopped in confusion, looked at Egil beside him and asked.
"Sound? Apart from the sound of flames and building collapse, there is no sound here. Commander, did you hear anything?"
Seeing Lin Lan stop, Egil also stopped and tilted his head to look at him.
"I heard……"
Lin Lan was just about to tell Egil what he heard, but a strong sense of cold crisis suddenly came from behind him.
"what!"
Lin Lan turned sideways almost instinctively, and a burning orange-yellow fire elemental sword instantly condensed into his hand, which he held in his hand and swept away behind him.
"Ding!"
Feeling the shock from the elemental sword in his hand, Lin Lan turned around and saw that an arm holding a sharp dagger appeared in the air behind him!
"W-what?!"
A man's hoarse voice filled with disbelief reached Lin Lan's ears, and Lin Lan instantly understood the man's identity.
Natlan Extremer.
"Protect the commander!"
Egil's reaction speed was much faster than Lin Lan. The moment she opened her mouth, she had already arrived at the void arm with wind-breaking speed and kicked the air behind the arm.
"puff!"
With a muffled sound of flesh being kicked, the dagger fell to the ground, carrying a path made of blood.
"boom."
There was the sound of objects colliding with the collapsing building nearby, and a pile of wooden frames that were burned to black charcoal fell down.
Z1 and Z46 rushed over immediately, and soon used the Iron-blooded Shark Suit to drag out a dead man with a sunken chest and wide-eyed eyes from the pile of collapsed building debris.
Lin Lan held a fire elemental sword and walked to the side of the dead man with other ship girls.
This masked Natlan Ultimate had obviously been seriously injured before. In addition to the fatal injury caused by Egil's kick on his chest, there were many horrific cuts on his body.
"Commander, we didn't notice this guy's sneak attack just now, I'm sorry..."
While Ron apologized to him, he bent down, grabbed the attacker's neck and lifted him up.
After the neck was squeezed in his hand and made a crunching sound, Ron threw it into the sea of fire in frustration.
"It's not your problem."
Lin Lan didn't stop what Ron was doing. He was scared to death by the sneak attacker just now.
It seems that in addition to those who are proficient in frontal combat, these Natlan Extremes also have assassins who are good at sneak attacks.
If he hadn't awakened the power of the brave before, possessing elemental perception far beyond ordinary people's and predicting danger in advance, he might have been assassinated.
"Be careful. Those Natlan Extremes don't know what methods they have yet. If they find anything wrong, they can fire freely."
Lin Lan gave the orders to the Iron-Blooded Ship Girls with a serious face. After hearing his words, the Ship Girls all nodded seriously.
Although after the previous battle, Lin Lan had already seen that the positive strength of those Natlan Extremes did not pose a threat to his ship girls.
But for him, these extremes must be very dangerous existences.
After all, these extremes are also the most powerful combat force in a country. Although they already possess the power of a brave man, they have not experienced the actual combat experience brought by combat.
It's okay that he has an automatically activated shield generator in the United States of Oran, but if he goes to other countries in the future, a situation like the one just now will definitely happen again.
"Perhaps, I should try to improve my own strength later. Even if I don't face the siren directly, I still have to be able to do it without holding back the girls."
Just when Lin Lan was planning to have a discussion with his ship girls later to improve his actual combat experience, he suddenly heard a whistling sound that broke through the air.
The next second, a half-moon orange sword energy struck in front of their group and swept across them!
The powerful wind pressure carried by this materialized sword energy tore out the flames around them, and one can imagine how powerful it was.
"It looks like we're not far from that node, let's go over and take a look!"
Lin Lan immediately said to his ship girls, and the group continued to rush towards the edge of Huaiwu City.
After Egil's ship-mounted dragon knocked away the debris of the collapsed building for countless times, Lin Lan and others finally came to an open space.
The scene before him made even him, who thought he had a fairly strong psychological quality, take a breath of cold air.
Corpses, countless large bodies of corpses.
The corpses of these ordinary people covered the entire open space, and many of them had been burned to black and could not be seen clearly.
But more corpses still maintained the desperate expressions they had when they died.
Their hands were tied with ropes, proving that they were brought here in an organized manner for massacre.
