Chapter 809: A Body that Does Not Belong to This World (Wish All Group Members a Happy New Year)
Chapter 809 A body that does not belong to this world (Happy birthday to group member Chu Fengzhi!)
At the headquarters of the GEASS Cult, V.V. stood on a high platform overlooking the gathered believers below, as well as the enhanced human corps he had painstakingly assembled. What made him very upset was that only one tenth of the once extremely powerful enhanced human corps remained, and the most powerful and loyal trial group had been destroyed by the [Nightmare] Knights.
This was the last strength of the GEASS Cult. V.V. knew very well that this strength would not be a match for Yang Hui, but he knew that he had no way to escape, and planned to use this last strength to do something, at least...
"Your Highness, it's ready." The men accompanying V.V. had been replaced by a different person, but judging from his numb expression, he was not a normal person.
"Well, then..."
Just as V.V. was about to give the final order, the entire headquarters shook violently, and dust kept falling from the ceiling above his head.
"Are they here?" Without even asking, V.V. knew that Yang Hui and his Nightmare Knights were outside the base camp and had launched an attack on them.
"All forces, use all available means to destroy the Nightmare Knights." V.V. ordered.
"Yes, Your Holiness."
After his men left, V.V. did not stay in a safe place, but returned to his room and opened a secret door. After walking in, he saw a huge hangar. As the light dispelled the darkness, a huge Knightmare appeared in front of him. It was at least 20 meters in size, which was a giant in front of an ordinary Knightmare!
"Mobius, I didn't expect you to come so soon when I needed you." V.V. muttered, and jumped directly into the cockpit. As the hatch closed, the cockpit was completely different from that of an ordinary Knightmare. There were no corresponding buttons, no operating levers and pedals, only countless pipes and dense special patterns.
V.V. also took off the cloak and robe that he had never taken off, revealing his inner clothing, which was almost the same prison uniform as the one C.C. wore when they first met, but the difference was that there were many more interfaces.
After V.V. sat down, he placed his hands on the semi-circular device on the armrest of the seat. The interfaces scattered around seemed to come alive. He raised his head and connected to the interfaces on V.V.'s clothes. The back of the seat flipped over and a strange helmet covered V.V.'s head, with red lines flashing.
"Ugh~!" V.V.'s face twisted, and the huge pain made him sweat coldly. It was not until two or three minutes later that he got a chance to breathe, "Ha~ha~ You are really a wild horse that is difficult to tame. [Mobius], you don't need to be my servant forever, just be my servant temporarily. After the end, you can take my life as you want!"
"Buzz~Buzz~Buzz~..."
As if responding to V.V. and agreeing to his deal, [Mobius]'s whole body began to flash with scarlet lines, and the light flowed. A head stretched out in front of the body, and the scarlet single eye shone. It turned left and right twice, and the lower abdomen spread out its arms, forcibly breaking free from the surrounding fixings, and the sharp claws tore the door above the head.
...
The [Sanctuary] in the sky was suspended, and the muzzle below locked the col. The soil on the ground had disappeared, and after sinking for an unknown number of meters, the alloy plate covered was exposed.
"The main gun is fully charged, the barrel is fully cooled, and it can be fired again!"
"Fire!"
"Yes, your highness!"
The muzzle roared again, and the thick beam torrent violently hit the alloy plate. The destructive energy melted the thick alloy plate bit by bit, and finally, penetrated!
"Enemy armor is penetrated!"
"Be alert..."
Lelouch did not order the [Nightmare] Knights to launch an assault as soon as the artillery penetrated the alloy plate. He did not believe that the enemy would not know they were coming after such a long time and such a big noise. The surrounding area had been blocked long ago. The GEASS Cult could not escape. At the same time, they gathered their last combat power and deliberately led them here. It was impossible for them to escape, so...
Sure enough, before Lelouch finished speaking, dense red dots appeared on the detection system, and a large number of enemy planes appeared from all directions. Enemy planes also swarmed out of the large hole where the alloy plate was penetrated.
"Here they come! The Nightmare Knights are meeting the enemy! This ship has entered air defense mode, the Porcupine Formation has been activated, and all missile launchers are loaded with ground-to-ground Hammer missiles to provide firepower support for the Nightmare Knights. Look carefully before shooting, and don't hurt your own people by mistake!"
"Yes, your highness!"XN
The enemy planes appeared quite suddenly. The entire col and the surrounding mountains have been transformed. Countless exits have been opened, and enemy planes have poured out. Some exits are even right next to the Nightmare Knights.
However, the Nightmare Knights did not panic, nor were they caught off guard. Before the exits were fully opened, they pointed their guns at the exits, regardless of whether there were enemy planes inside or what would come out. They opened fire the moment the exits were completely opened, without giving the enemy any chance. Many enemy planes were swallowed by the hot flames before they could greet the warm sunshine.
"There is such a huge army, is it worthy of hundreds of years of foundation?" Yang Hui drove [Athena] to destroy enemy planes from the air, and couldn't help but sigh. Although the combat effectiveness was not strong, even inferior to [ELEVEN]'s regular troops, the number was indeed not small, at least there were two legions of Knightmares, and the chariots, armored vehicles, and soldiers were as numerous as ants.
At this moment, the hillside next to [Athena] exploded, and two giant claws opened their sharp claws and grabbed [Athena].
"Your Highness, be careful!"
[Jemini] appeared in front of [Athena] in time, slashing with black and white double swords, but failed to cut off the claws directly. The high-frequency vibrating blade collided with the opponent's claws, rubbing out sparks like raindrops and spraying around.
"Success!"
[Jemini] and [Four Holy Swords] are never separated. When [Jemini] appears, [Four Holy Swords] must be nearby.
Four specially modified Gloucesters leaped high, slashing at the wrist of the giant claw with the high-frequency vibration knives in their hands, aiming for a winning blow, but who knew...
"clang~!"
The high-frequency vibration knives that were constantly hitting the target bounced off!
"Retreat!" Yang Hui also discovered that something was wrong with the enemy's armor, and immediately gave the order to withdraw with [Jemini] and [Four Holy Swords], firing at the mountain behind the giant claw on the way back.
"How is this possible!?"
What shocked Yang Hui happened. After the beam sank into the mountain, it did not penetrate, nor did it explode. Instead, it was like light encountering a mirror and refracted.
"[Phase Deflection System]? Or [Mirror Reflection System]? How could this world have such technology?" Yang Hui immediately compared the opponent's technology with the technology he was familiar with in his memory. This had very similar characteristics to the [Phase Deflection System] and the [Mirror Reflection System] he developed, causing the beam to deviate.
A few seconds later, the enemy's body appeared in front of everyone. It was indescribably weird. The huge body and arms were connected to huge claws, and under the bloated and huge body like a ball, there was a pair of short legs. No, it was not correct to say it was legs. Judging from Yang Hui's eyes, it was similar to a flight assist device or a balance device.
"What kind of machine is this?" Yang Hui frowned deeply. The appearance of this machine was definitely not what this world should have. The armor was too round, and the connection at the joints did not look like a mechanical creation, but... like a creature!
The rounded armor, the unknown flight technology, and the scarlet light that kept flowing in the body all made Yang Hui doubt that this machine... was not a product of this world!
"Your Highness." [Jemini] and [Four Holy Swords] moved closer to [Athena]. They were Yang Hui's guards, even on the battlefield.
Looking at the unknown machine in front of them, the indescribable weirdness made them dare not leave Yang Hui's side.
"Fudo, you go and eliminate other enemies, and leave this machine to me." Yang Hui ordered.
"But Your Highness..."
"Trust me, I can deal with him. End the battle below as soon as possible and be alert to the hidden enemies."
"...Yes, your highness." Fujido Kagashiro and others had no choice but to obey Yang Hui's orders, but they did not intend to give up their duties. They would keep their combat area around [Athena], and as long as [Athena] was in danger, they would be able to provide support at the first time.
Yang Hui looked at the unknown machine in front of him, his eyes were already filled with colorful streamers, and the scarlet bird spread its wings and soared. This machine made him feel a little dangerous, and he dared not be careless.
"Ding ding ding..."
At this time, the enemy plane on the opposite side did not take the next step, but [Athena] received the other party's communication request.
"V.V.? Let me hear what you want to say?" After a little thought, Yang Hui agreed to the other party's communication, maybe he could get some information about this machine by tricking him.
"Yang... Hui..."
"V.V." Hearing the other party's voice, Yang Hui couldn't help but frown again. He had seen V.V.'s childish voice before, but now it was as hoarse as a dead tree, and he could tell that he was enduring something.
"I have long thought that... our meeting... after many years... must be... a life-and-death battle..."
"... What is this machine?" Yang Hui asked directly. He used his mental waves to explore and found that... the other party's machine actually had two completely different mental waves. One was V.V.'s, and the fluctuations were very violent and very chaotic. This showed that V.V.'s mind had begun to become abnormal. There was no need to ask questions directly, and he should be able to get the information he wanted directly.
And the other... that was not a human mental wave, but... a beast!
"Hahaha...hahaha...hahahaha..." V.V.'s sharp, hoarse laughter was heard in the communication channel, as harsh as a grinding wheel rubbing against metal, "See... see it? This... this is... power... power from... ancient times... ancient... power from aliens... hahaha... hahaha..."
It's the birthday of group member Chu Fengzhi, wishing him a happy birthday!
