Kill the Dragon

“It's the flash of destruction I saw yesterday. At least we'll have to magnetically shift to the rendezvous point. One of the satellites traveling in low orbit was destroyed by the flash of destruction. ”

Things got better. You have been fed your strength, and you have been commissioned by Arc. Carrying out orders and operations is natural for them to breathe.

As the reinforcements stay in one place for long, the minions make their move.

Ouch! Ouch!

You hear a sharp groan as if it were a caterpillar.

Kwa-ang!

The bomb ears hit the boys' home. The boys ran out of the house. Outside, the guards wearing psychoframes are fighting the minions.

“Check the squad! ”

Lee said, wiping off the blood flowing from his ears. His left eardrum bursts, but he calmly breathes.

The squad leaders have checked the status of their squads. They hurried away. Once the psychoframes are engaged, the minions retreat again.

‘The attack is escalating. ’

Lee Han frowned. It is not clear what the number of enemies is and how much power they have. It is a tremendous burden to give orders in the absence of certain information. We can't even predict the outcome in the future, but we are pushing the squad members to the extremities. You need both judgment and courage that you don't want to miss.

Minions continue to make small strikes. The exchange cost was overwhelming for the reinforcements. Dozens of minions are dying in a single engagement. There was no loss of reinforcements. But the reinforcements are the ones who are cornered. More and more Minions are attacking you at once.

“We're surrounded. This... is a hunt. ”

There is no map, no information to monitor the situation. However, Ihan feels that minions are coming from all over. In his mind, a group of minions surround him and greet him at the end.

“Wear a power psychoframe. Break through quickly.”

Lee said, looking at the other squad leaders. It was a gesture of seeking consent.

“Alpha, we're good. You don't have to go out there. ”

The Noble Squad Leader expressed his objection. The hesitant Purple Squad Leader also raises his hand.

“I agree with Noble. It's better to take shifts saving your psychic life. ”

The other squad leaders wanted to keep things going. I was reluctant to overreact based on uncertain information.

“After being surrounded, it's too late. ”

I did not bend my will.

“Surrounded is a wild guess. There's still four hours left until 14: 00, and I can't hold the psychoframe for four hours. ”

The other squad leaders were firm. Their judgment was greatly clouded. Yihan frowned.

‘If the siege is getting narrower, you don't have to see it for yourself. Why don't you know that? ’

Lee said that all the way to his neck. The other squad leaders also had anxiety in their minds. However, I chose a more passive operation because of my anxiety. I couldn't make a convincing decision like this. Fear and uncertain information clouded judgment.

“Trust me. If we don't keep up, we're all gonna die. ”

Lee said, gazing at the path that he had walked so far.

“What if the judgment is wrong? If you use all the psychoframes to wipe out the minions now, then you're defenseless. If we run into any other minions, we're all dead. ”

The commander of the Noble Squad said: There was a reason for that. Either way, it was dangerous.

‘But in my judgment, it is safer to leave the siege now. We'll have to leave it to chance after that. ’

When Yihan and the Noble Squad Leader sharply confronted, the Purple Squad Leader stepped this way as if he had changed his mind.

“Come to think of it, Alpha's right. There is no doubt that the siege will be narrowed. We don't even have time to wear all the psychoframes once we're surrounded. It's better to keep the minions out of the way and wait for Black Crow. ”

As Purple Squad Leader speaks, the Noble Squad Leader frowns.

“Don't regret it later. ”

The Noble Squad Leader was reluctant, but decided to follow his lead. Any more divided opinions will only exacerbate the situation.

“Wear a power psychoframe. ”

The reinforcements were wearing psychoframes to help each other. Lee, who was wearing a psychoframe, blinked as he lowered his helmet shield.

‘PP over 4,000 is rare. One, 2,000, mostly. ’

It is a PP figure that is insufficient to operate a second generation psychoframe. If the psychotic control is not good, the reinforcement unit lacks more energy than the PP value indicated.

“Share a tactical map. Expected movement from minions. ”

Lee placed his finger on the hologram map and marked the Minions' expected location with a red line.

‘If I were the commander of the minions, I'd stand in our way like this. ’

The rest of the squad focused on the map. Lee painted a new green line.

“This is our path. It's gonna be complicated. From the looks of things, they have a commander as smart as us. If we run in a straight line, our destination will be discovered shortly. Even if it's difficult, it's better to waste your alignment and confuse it by choosing an inefficient route. ”

- Before that, we're gonna get tired and fall out.

As Purple Squad Leader put it,

“We can do this. Only the best of the best are collected here. ”

At this point, Purple couldn't resist. You can't argue with that. Boys have pride.

The reinforcements move. The psychoframes speed up gradually. Minions watching from afar chase you out in plain sight. But I couldn't keep up with the speed of the psychoframe. Only a species as fast as a werewolf clings to the distance.

‘Into the river.'

Lee Han chose the route to erase the trail as much as possible. The reinforcements who have moved for a long time have plunged into a river that sinks to their waist. The current is rough, but the heavy psychoframe doesn't nod.

- Shit, water's leaking in.

- It's loose.

- Oh, it's cold.

You can't touch the water if you wear it properly, but you are now loosely wearing a psychoframe. The water comes in through a small crevice. You hear the boys grumbling in close quarters.

“Let's keep going down like this, without going against the current. ”

I have a cold.

Knut grunts. Lee suddenly finds Simon strangely quiet. I would have given him something to say about Knut's grumbling, but he was consistent with his quiet attitude throughout this mission. I barely heard Simon's voice.

“Simon?”

-... why?

Simon's answer is one beat late. Lee looked at Simon with tears in his eyes. He was a little behind. Lee opened a one-on-one communication with Simon.

“Are you hurt?”

- A slight crack in the ribs. Never mind.

Lee did not believe Simon.

‘I didn't even check the status of the squad members, as the situation is bad. ’

As usual, I soon noticed Simon's ideals. I have too much to worry about right now.

- It won't be a burden, so you better do it.

Simon said irritably. He was injured when the Assault Ford exploded and crashed. Now, even walking was hard. My back was stiff and my insides were throbbing.

Lee's eyes check the status of the reinforcements. His pupils are mechanically moving.

“From now on, the summoning crew falls back with me and stops the minions. It's better for more people to drag their time into battle to get rid of the minions and stick fast. Do you understand?”

At this point, Simon's eyes widen.

‘This son of a bitch... I changed the plan. ’

Simon's pride was broken. It was Simon's mission no longer. Reinforcements that are depleted of PP, including Simon, can take some time off.

Lee selected four reinforcements with good mobility and relaxed PP figures. Everyone nods without complaining and follows after Lee. The Alpha team only borrowed Silence.

“If you fail to join B and C points, you will join at the final destination at 14 o'clock. ”

The remaining seven reinforcements depart first. The minions get confused as they see the reinforcements scattering into two groups. They also try to split up their forces and pursue them, but Yihan's group is stuck.

“That won't work. What are we still doing here? ”

Lee said with a gun pointed at him. His calm shooting aims for Grunt's head. A pleasant large caliber bullet blows Grunt's head off.

“Finish in five minutes and retreat. ”

It was the time when Lee Han's reinforcements started fighting. More than that, the psychoframe may stop. If the psychoframe stops in the middle of the minions, it's as if they're dead.

- Let's kill them all.

The group engages the minions. There was no usual glamorous melee or maneuverability. Modern soldiers fought faithfully with firearms to minimize the use of psychics. But that gun is a psychoframe exclusive firearm. They use large caliber bullets that even grunts can't survive.

Cover me!

The reinforcements skillfully propagate and reduce the number of minions.

The werewolves!

The werewolves divert into melee combat. Lee pulled out a spear and blocked his way.

Whitrick!

Lee's dragon spear swings between the werewolves. He moves incredibly nimble as the PP readings revealed the floor.

Gaaaah!

As it passed, Werewolf's head fell off.

‘The prototype has the most psychotic absorption.... ’

Silence looks at his movements and thinks: Originally, prototypes are the most motile of psychoframes, rather than the least durable in combat. The highest proportion of dragon materials. Lee's disadvantage should be more emphasized because his psychic power drops than others.

‘But psychic control is abnormal, so the impact of that disadvantage is meaningless. I took off my psychic shield. ’

Lee Han is the only one who doesn't lose his psychic touch with dragon material. A sicker with complete psychic control. Some of the psychic researchers speculated that the ability to control this psychic was not a feature. It's such an exception.

- Are you sure there's no more than 2,000 degrees of PP on alpha-1?

The reinforcement soldier who glanced at Lee Han's battle said. Lee Han moved more noticeably than the other reinforcements. Nevertheless, PP levels decreased marginally.

This effectively uses psychic energy. The advantage of great value was that in the Great Dragon War, which devoted all its firepower in a short period of time, it was meaningless. But now I feel more powerful than any other advantage.

‘As much as I kill a lot, the other guys are less burdened. ’

Lee opens his eyes wide and looks at the minions. The concentration was as intense as the cool pupils. You pursue the movement of the minions as if you didn't want to miss a single thing. Half the minions that fell to the ground were by Lee Han. His psychoframe is covered in blood.
