Minutes and seconds passed.
The attack did not happen.
But the hidden sentries outside lost contact one by one.
Massad, who was in charge of the communication center, gradually began to feel anxious.
The more the enemy did not appear, the more likely the scale of the attack would be. It was even possible that the enemy would crush this stronghold with their superior forces.
"Colonel, what should we do now?"
Massad had such a question in his heart, but he knew that Noris would not answer this question at all. Because, right now, Noris was staring at the dense forest where only the sound of rain hitting the leaves and branches could be heard.
In a shadowy corner of this dense forest, a white figure quietly appeared.
It was far smaller than the Zagu II, but it was also because of this that it was able to traverse through the dense rainforest and remove the hidden sentries that Jeon's army had nailed into the rainforest one by one.
Now, the first stage of its mission had been completed.
"En. The hidden sentries on the team's route have basically been cleared. Then, it's time to greet the enemy. "
"Kacha! Rumble! "
At this time, another lightning that illuminated the sky swept across the sky. Even though they were separated by a screen, Noris' face was still ghastly pale under the illumination of the bright lights.
"Massad. When will the X3 engine arrive? "
"I'm afraid it will take another hour. The torrential rain came too suddenly. It has disrupted all of our plans. "
Massad opened his mouth and reluctantly said the time that even he felt that he could not accept.
"An hour? Heh. That's good! "
But Noris did not care much about this time. In the end, the reason why he asked this was probably because he wanted to know how long this battle would last.
"Kacha! Rumble! "
In the sky, another lightning swept across the sky.
"Boom!"
Different from before, at the moment when the rolling thunder exploded, a flame suddenly exploded on the southeast side of the stronghold.
It was an armored vehicle!
It was the armored vehicle that was following the No.3 Zagu I that suddenly exploded.
"What … what happened? Enemy attack?! "
Massad was shocked and quickly asked.
However, the reply he received was that he didn't know, or that he didn't even have time to see what had happened.
The only thing he knew was that the armored vehicle suddenly shook and exploded. Moreover, whether it was the Zagu I I that was closer to them or the soldiers behind the bunker, none of them could detect what was going on.
"Gather the formation and activate the infrared detection equipment."
Noris' voice rang out in a timely manner, calming down the soldiers who had fallen into confusion and even a hint of unease.
However, after the infrared equipment was turned on, the soldiers, the infrared detectors on the vehicles, and the equipment used on Zagu I could not detect any traces of the enemy in the dense forest around the stronghold.
"Strange!"
Massad frowned deeply.
Without a doubt.
The armored vehicle that had exploded for no reason just now made Massad suspicious. Even though everyone's infrared equipment had scanned the nearby dense forest several times, they still couldn't find any traces of the enemy. Not only did this suspicion not fade, but it also deepened.
"Increase the alert!"
In the face of such a strange situation, Noris didn't say much, but only gave the order to continue increasing the alert.
"Kacha! Rumble! "
Another bolt of lightning flashed across the sky.
The rolling thunder instantly drowned out all other sounds in the world.
The flickering light flashed and disappeared.
However, in the northeast direction of the stronghold, a ball of fire rose.
It was another armored vehicle!
"Boom!"
This explosion instantly grabbed everyone's attention.
"Report! Report the situation!! "
Massad's eyes almost popped out!
Just a moment ago, his gaze happened to be in the northeast direction and fell on the armored vehicle that had exploded. However, he, who had witnessed the explosion of the armored vehicle with his own eyes, couldn't see what had caused the armored vehicle to be engulfed by the explosion for no reason.
Moreover, the radio operator sitting next to Massad also happened to be talking to the commander of the armored vehicle to confirm the situation.
Strange!
Too strange!
Not to mention Massad's own eyes, even the commander who was talking to the radio operator didn't notice anything strange.
"So, what happened?"
Massad opened his mouth and couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine.
If the explosion of the first armored vehicle was an accident, then the explosion of the second armored vehicle was undoubtedly man-made.
"Kacha! Rumble! "
Another bolt of lightning flashed across the sky, setting off a series of roaring thunder.
At this moment, Noris, who had been silent, suddenly moved.
The Land Type Zagu II he was driving bent its legs and jumped toward the nearest armored vehicle. At the same time, the Land Type Zagu II pulled out its heat axe and chopped down at the muddy ground in front of the armored vehicle with a fierce wind sound.
"Boom!"
The moment the blazing heat axe blade came into contact with the muddy and cold ground, it exploded into a mass of air that was mixed with steam and mud.
"Nothing?"
Looking at the empty space beneath the Heat Axe, Noris furrowed his eyebrows. In the next second, the hole was flooded by the water.
When the bolt of lightning flashed across the sky, Norsley had indeed sensed that something was rapidly approaching the armored vehicle. That was why Norsley had suddenly made a move to stop the explosion and find the culprit behind the explosion of the two armored vehicles.
But, the result was that there was nothing.
"What a strange feeling!"
Noris muttered to himself for a moment. Then, he controlled his Zagu II to slowly move forward. He actually wanted to enter the forest alone.
"Colonel! Danger! Please don't leave the base! "
When Massad saw that Noris' Zagu II was about to leave the stronghold and head into the forest to engage in battle with the unknown enemy, he hurriedly shouted out.
"No, don't worry about me. Maybe the enemy wants to stall for time. “
Faintly, Noris seemed to have guessed the enemy's intention.
Since you want to stall for time, then that's exactly what I want!
However, in order to prevent further losses to the stronghold, Noris decided to walk alone into the forest where the unknown enemy was hiding.
And Noris' action made Ray Mingkai, who was hiding in the depths of the forest, slightly surprised.
"You have guts! Then, let's have a showdown! "
"Ka!"
Lancelot, who was hiding in the dark, once again put away the infrared detector on his chest and quietly disappeared into the darkness. He was waiting for Noris' arrival somewhere.
"Kacha!"
"Rumble!"
The incessant flashes of lightning illuminated the Land Type Zagu II, causing Noris to feel an indescribable pressure.
Suddenly, Noris' heart skipped a beat and instinctively pushed his right hand. His Zagu I immediately turned to the right.
"Dang!"
The next moment, the sound of metal colliding exploded.
It was the sound of the Zagu I's shoulder shield being hit by an unknown object.
But Noris did not see any suspicious target or figure from the camera.
"Ran away?"
Noris' eyebrows were still knitted together.
This feeling was too strange.
The sound of the collision just now was real. Even the aftermath of the collision, Noris could feel it.
But,
The enemy's trace was still not found.
"Not an MS? Or a human? "
As soon as this question appeared, Noris denied it.
In his knowledge, it was impossible for a human to be able to hide their whereabouts. No matter how fast a human was, it was impossible for them to disappear from the Zagu I's surveillance range in the blink of an eye.
The feeling of heart trembling appeared again.
It was from behind!
Noris' hands and feet moved, and the Zagu I turned around abruptly again, trying to withstand the threat from behind with its chest.
However, the strange thing was that when the Land Combat Type Zagu II was about to face the threat from behind, the trembling feeling disappeared once again. It disappeared without a trace.
"How is this possible?"
This invisible and untouchable enemy was like a ghost, appearing wherever he wanted to appear, and then disappearing anytime and anywhere before Noris was about to discover him.
Noris's expression changed several times. He pulled his right hand gently, raised his thumb, and pressed down fiercely. His Zagu I immediately raised the 120mm machine gun in its hand.
It seemed to be crazily shooting a magazine of bullets at the surrounding area.
"Da da da da da!"
The roar of the 120mm machine gun mixed with the sound of the rainstorm echoed in the rainforest.
The bullets that tore the rainstorm apart shattered countless leaves and branches, scattering them all over the ground.
"Da, da, da …."
After shooting for a while, the 120mm machine gun ran out of bullets.
But, the enemy hiding in the dark did not make any sound.
"Not fooled? Looks like the enemy is not a hothead. " Noris snorted and laughed. Once again, he threw away the 120mm machine gun of the Zagu I without any reluctance and pulled out the heat axe again.
"Come on! Ghost. "
Noris's voice sounded on the international public channel.
"En? Was I seen through? "
Looking at the Land Type Zagu I, Lancelot, who was hiding in the dark, once again put away the infrared detector.
Even at this moment, in the middle of the cold rainstorm, the Land Type Zagu I was still like a small sun on the infrared detector.
On the other hand, Lancelot, because of the advantage brought by the small machine, could perfectly hide in the shade of the trees. Compared to the Zagu I, the relatively weak heat radiation could be covered by the cold rainstorm.
Ray Mingkai did not know if Noris had seen through the secret that Lancelot was hiding around him, but from the Land Type Zagu I's posture, Noris might have already noticed.
"Buzz!"
In the spray caused by the high-speed rotation of the guide wheel, Lancelot jumped up and jumped back and forth on the surrounding huge tree trunks like lightning.
In addition, during the jump, he also raised his hand to eject the hook on his forearm and deeply inserted it into the trunk not far away. Under the tightening and tightening, Lancelot's movement trajectory abruptly changed from a straight line to a right angle flight.
This was the reason why Lancelot could appear and disappear unpredictably.
Under Ray Mingkai's superb driving skills, Lancelot's own mobility had reached a terrifying level.
With just a pair of guide wheels and the hook on his left and right forearms, Ray Mingkai could allow Lancelot to appear and disappear unpredictably in this rainforest environment with complex terrain and changeable climate.
"Whoosh!"
Under the cover of the dense canopy, the nimble Lancelot once again arrived near the back of the Land Type Zagu II under the cover of the sounds created by the torrential rain hitting the canopy.
"Buzz!"
A soft buzzing sound was heard, and Lancelot's exclusive Radiation Vibrating Sword was held in his hand.
Through the gaps in the canopy, Ray Mingkai could see the Land Type Zagu I's back and neck.
At this moment, Ray Mingkai suddenly felt that this scene was somewhat familiar.
It was as if it was very similar to some of the scenes in a certain animation he had seen before.
"A giant?"
Ray Mingkai's mouth twitched slightly, and then he shook off these random thoughts.
"Buzz!!!"
The guide wheel frantically rubbed against the thick branches under Lancelot's feet, and the originally wet bark was rubbed dry. At the moment when the bark was rubbed, it brazenly pushed Lancelot forward like a gust of wind.
"Behind me again!"
Norris's heart was alarmed, and his hands and feet moved continuously. The Land Type Zagu I once again turned around in time and waved the heat axe in his hand horizontally towards the canopy behind him.
"Crackle crackle!"
The blazing heat axe instantly chopped through the dense canopy, but the explosion that Norris expected did not appear.
"No enemies?!"
As soon as this thought appeared, the Land Type Zagu I's body monitoring program suddenly issued a sharp warning.
"Woo!!!!!"
Norris glanced to the side, and unexpectedly discovered that his Zagu I had unknowingly injured its right leg!!
Norris was shocked, and he raised his right hand, and quickly pressed a series of switches on the right side of the control panel, trying to minimize the damage to the right leg in the shortest time possible.
Fortunately, the damaged part was suppressed.
However, the fear in Norris's heart was growing.
His intuition was not wrong.
But the enemy's speed was far beyond his imagination.
Until now, he had not been defeated by the enemy, or even killed, probably because the enemy wanted to stall for time.
Behind the dense forest on one side, Lancelot once again raised the infrared detector, and through the large tree trunk, he could clearly see the Land Type Zagu I's situation.
In the previous charge, Lancelot's target was not Zagu I's back, but its right leg.
When Zagu I's heat axe chopped down on the canopy, Lancelot, under the control of Ray Mingkai, quickly shot the hook on his left arm towards Zagu I's right leg. While retracting, he brandished his sword towards Zagu I's right leg.
"The storm may be about to stop."
Lei Mingkai glanced at the black clouds in the sky, where he could vaguely see a crack.
