* Ratatatatat! *
Machine guns were roaring!
* Boom! *
* Boom! *
* Boom! *
Grenades were roaring.
The five Gloucesters attacked while retreating to a six-meter-tall boulder that protruded from the ground. Around them, the black scoundrels were like hungry wolves that had smelled blood. They swarmed over and completely surrounded the area.
"Governor-General! It's about time. " Gilbert glanced at himself and his colleague's battered body before he opened his mouth to remind them.
"Okay. Then, get ready to break out! "Cornelia nodded and said.
However, the situation in front of them did not give them any possibility of breaking out. Whether it was the swarm of enemies or the condition of the bodies they were piloting, there was no favorable condition for them to break out.
The only thing that could make Cornelia feel a little relieved was that the black wave that surged down from the gap halfway up the mountain seemed to be unable to continue.
However,
This had no effect on the enemies in front of Cornelia and the others.
"Governor-General! Please stand back! Let us open up the path! "Gilbert said the words that were expected, and there was a sense of resolution in his words.
That was …
The awareness of sacrifice!
"Gilbert!! Do you think I'm just a woman who hides behind a man and trembles? "Cornelia frowned and shouted coldly.
Gilbert shook his head and said from the bottom of his heart, "No, Governor-General. Her Highness is our light, our supreme Valkyrie. How can she be an ordinary woman?! However, if Her Highness is sacrificed on the battlefield now, then Her Highness Euphemia's situation will become serious! "
Gilbert said something that made Cornelia have no choice but to accept their awareness.
"Your Highness! Now, not only are there nobles in District 11 in the way, but there are also these strange bodies lurking. For District 11 and for Her Highness Euphemia, please forgive us and accept our awareness!! "
"Gilbert!! You!! "Cornelia was stunned. In the end, she had to clench her teeth and accept Gilbert's suggestion.
"Thank you very much! Our princess! " When Gilbert saw that Cornelia no longer had any objections, he shouted loudly, "Knights who follow Her Highness Cornelia! Now is the time for us to present the princess with unparalleled glory! Are you guys ready? "
“AllHailBritannia！ AllHailCornelia！！
Amidst the Knight's loud cheers, four purple-painted Gloucesters surrounded the long-horned Gloucester piloted by Cornelia, forming a prismatic assault formation.
"Knight! Break out! "
As Gilbert, who was at the tip of the triangular formation, gave the order, the four Gloucesters that surrounded the Long-horned Gloucester activated their high-speed drive wheels. They raised their Knight's Lance and charged straight towards the area where the black wave was relatively weak.
"Attack! Attack! Don't stop! Even if we die, we must send Her Highness Cornelia, our princess, back to Her Highness Euphemia's side! "
The Gloucesters continued to fire and shoot grenades. They raised their Knight's Lance and pierced through the black scoundrels.
* Boom! *
* Boom! *
* Boom! *
Amidst the explosions,
Amidst the billowing flames,
Amidst the smoke rising into the air,
Behind the Gloucesters were wreckage and grayish-white sand that covered the ground.
However, no matter how brave the Knight, who was determined to die, was, they could not scare off the enemy that surrounded them.
After all,
During this short exchange of blows, Gilbert and the other knights, who had been through many battles, were able to see some clues about what was going on.
The enemy,
The pilots of these black scoundrels did not seem to be human!
"Ah!"
Suddenly, a scream came from the Gloucester that was protecting Cornelia.
"Pastor!" Cornelia was just about to stop, but she was stopped by the Gloucester's pilot.
"Don't stop! Your Highness! Leave this to me! This is my final battle! Your Highness! Please leave quickly! "
A corner of the Gloucester's cockpit was cut off by a blade, revealing a corner of the cockpit.
Cornelia could see from this gap that the pilot named Pastor had a pale face. He gritted his teeth and endured great pain.
His left arm, together with the corner of the cockpit, was cut off by the enemy's sword.
"Go! 'Gilbert!' I'll leave Her Highness to you! " The Knight named Pastor roared. As blood splattered from the wound on his left arm, he turned his Gloucester around, raised his Gloucester, and plunged into the group of enemies that were chasing after them.
The next moment,
A dazzling light bloomed.
* Boom! *
The powerful energy shock wave released by the cherry blossom's self-destruction scattered the black waves that were chasing after them. For a moment, they could not gather again to chase after Cornelia and the others.
"Chance! Quick! "Gilbert gritted his teeth and shouted with a hoarse voice. Even if they had been prepared and prepared beforehand, when it came to their comrades sacrificing themselves, they still felt a little reluctant.
Thanks to Pastor's sacrifice, Cornelia, Gilbert, and the others did not face any more obstacles when they tried to break out of the encirclement. However, in order to ensure the speed of their breakout, Cornelia eventually took over Gilbert's position and personally opened up a path for everyone to break out of the encirclement.
They killed along the way.
Cornelia, Gilbert, and the others were almost numb. Even if they had already made a name for themselves in the Middle East and Europe's battlefields and achieved many military achievements, this was the first time they had killed so many people.
The enemies …
It was as if they could not kill all of them.
After they killed one batch, another batch would come.
If it were not for the changes in the surrounding terrain and the withered trees, Cornelia, Gilbert, and the others would not have realized that they had already charged a large distance away from their initial position of breaking out of the encirclement.
"Your Highness! Hold on a little longer! We are about to succeed in breaking out of the encirclement! "
Seeing that they were about to break out of the encirclement, Gilbert could not help but feel energized.
At that moment, a sudden change occurred.
* Bang! *
* Sizzle! *
* Bang! *
In the midst of a burst of electric sparks, the Gloucester's knees continuously exploded to different degrees.
It seemed to be a malfunction caused by the impact when they were breaking out of the encirclement just now. However, the timing of the explosion was really not right.
Moreover, the Gloucesters that had this malfunction were actually three Gloucesters, including the Long-horned Gloucester that Cornelia was piloting.
In other words, other than Gilbert's Gloucester, the other Gloucesters were unable to move because of this malfunction.
Gilbert gritted his teeth and immediately shouted, "Your Highness!" "Your Highness! Please use my Gloucester to break out of the encirclement immediately. We will stay here and cover your retreat! "
"Gilbert!"
* Boom! *
Suddenly, a faint blue light flashed and disappeared, causing an explosion in the black wave.
Amidst the smoke and dust, a white Knight came with the wind.
"This is Lancelot!! The K?! "Cornelia and Gilbert shouted almost at the same time.
"Governor-General! I am here to provide support under the orders of Deputy Governor-General Her Highness Euphemia! "
When Lancelot put away the variable VARIS rifle in his hand and replaced it with two radiant vibration swords, Ray Mingkai's voice was transmitted to Cornelia and the others through the communication channel.
“K! It really is you! "Although Cornelia was a little surprised, she was soon relieved.
After all, in the previous battle arrangements, the talented Ray Mingkai was deliberately ignored by Cornelia because she wanted to see how far Ray Mingkai could go when he was not bound by battle orders.
The result satisfied Cornelia.
"Governor-General! Please follow me! "
As Ray Mingkai spoke, Lancelot, who was piloting the Long-horned Gloucester, tore the three black scoundrels into pieces like a whirlwind.
"Wait! K！ Her Highness and their Gloucester cannot move! "Gilbert quickly informed Ray Mingkai of the situation.
"What?" Ray Mingkai was stunned and looked over subconsciously. Indeed, the Long-horned Gloucester's left knee had been blown up and could no longer provide any help to the Gloucester's operation.
"Sir Gilbert, I'm sorry. You can pilot the Gloucester and lift it up. Let's go together! I will lead the way in front. "
While stopping the black scoundrels from surrounding them, Ray Mingkai suggested another method.
"Yes, this is the only way. Seuss, Aipa, both of you try this method too. "Cornelia did not allow Gilbert to refuse and gave the order forcefully.
"Yes! Your Highness. "
Ray Mingkai's method was effective.
Even though he couldn't increase his speed to the maximum, it was much better than being unable to move.
Especially with the support of the powerful combination of Lancelot and Ray Mingkai, any black scoundrels that surrounded them were turned into white ashes under the attack of the Radiant Vibrosword and the variable VARIS rifle.
* Rumble! *
Suddenly, a series of loud and dense roars came from the sky.
"This sound? Is it the air force?! "Cornelia listened carefully and said in surprise.
"The air force has been deployed? Is it the deputy governor-general? "Gilbert asked subconsciously. But soon, he realized that he had misspoken.
"No. 'Gilbert. The deputy governor-general is right! "
However, Cornelia did not have any negative feelings towards Euphemia because of this. Instead, she felt that her younger sister had finally grown up.
"Governor-General! Viretta and the others are here to receive us! "
Lancelot, who was leading the way in front, sent a message.
Then, countless artillery fire swept across the sky and landed densely on the black wave blocking the path in front of Lancelot and Gloucester.
* Boom! *
* Boom! *
* Boom! *
The black scoundrels that gave Cornelia and the others a headache were all drowned out by the "justice" that fell from the sky.
* Rumble! *
Under the artillery fire that covered the mountains and plains, the air force's planes came from afar and from small to large in formation and arrived above the mountain.
In the blink of an eye …
Large and small bombs poured down.
