Horrible! Actually playing this kind of game!

Kaye's death is not without value, at least she stalled the other party's shepherd.

During this battle, Yamada Masaharu finally understood the shepherd's strength.

Sometimes they will not kill 86 easily, but lie in wait for rescue, so that they can kill more 86s.

Intelligent strategic behavior.

At the same time, the shepherd is also very powerful, and it is impossible to defeat it. The terrible pressure of being chased by the god of death, even after the level is over, Yamada Masaharu can still feel it.

"That shepherd... is probably my brother." Xin said to Rena.

"Why?"

However, in Xin's memory, his brother did not like him very much, thinking that his mother always favored Xin.

Later, during a battle on the front line, both Xin and Lei's parents were killed.

After their deaths, Ray went into a meltdown, even strangling Xin's neck with his hands at one point.

When he reacted, Xin almost suffocated.

It was that time that Xin experienced a near-death experience. At the same time, because of this encounter, Xin had an indelible scar on his neck from then on.

It was caused by Lei's tightening with both hands.

In order to cover up such ugly scars, Xin wears a sky-blue scarf around his neck anytime and anywhere.

"But……"

Reina didn't quite understand, "Then why are you persistently looking for your brother?"

"For the sake of his head, save him from being a shepherd."

Xin has been looking for his brother's head. The head of his brother who was killed in the past. The "Legion" that took away the head of my brother who died in the ruins somewhere on the Eastern Front, and hosted his brother's dying voice.

Death laughed to himself. It looks like madness, like a blade glowing with cold light. Like an ancient knife that only wants to drink the blood of its prey and transforms into a butterfly from countless deadly battles, it is so cold and cruel.

…

[Chapter 27: Sirius]

In the next level, Kujo died in battle.

The cause of death was that while on patrol, he encountered a self-propelled humanoid mine disguised as a friendly force.

This kind of mine looks like a small humanoid, but once you get close, they will pounce on you, stick to your mecha, hug you tightly, and then explode the mecha.

Boom!

Kujo's mecha was blown apart, and he was already dead.

After the level was over, the hatch was opened, and his body was stuck inside the mecha, with his head tilted to one side.

It looked like he wouldn't survive.

"Kujo."

Xin walked over, pulled out his gun, and pointed the black muzzle at the dying Kujo.

boom! ! !

Yamada Masaharu's heart trembled with the sound of gunshots.

…

In each subsequent level, one or two teammates will die.

When the mecha was destroyed by the opponent and surrounded by the legion, Blackfire aimed the pistol at his chin in order not to become a black sheep and fall into the opponent's hands.

With a gunshot, he shot himself to death.

And Snow Girl Angel's lover, Black Dog, that gentle big brother, also died in the war.

The number of people died one by one, and the number continued to decrease.

The team members' performance was unusually calm.

In the final team of 24 people, Masaharu Yamada could name every one of them. He could remember everyone's code name, their appearance, what they had said, and the time they had spent together happily.

It’s vivid in my mind.

It seems like just yesterday.

In fact, this is also true. From the time he started playing the game to now, Masaharu Yamada has only experienced one day.

But……

It was already extremely uncomfortable at this moment.

At this moment, Masaharu Yamada is just like Rena. As the commander of the team, he is watching his members die on the battlefield one by one.

This feeling of powerlessness and despair was made quite intense by pokeni, but it was depicted in the most understated way after the war——

Xin tore off the iron number plates on their chests and stored them in the storage box, where they were well preserved.

There are no graves for them in the battlefield, this storage box is their grave.

And Masaharu Yamada couldn't stand it anymore.

Gu Yuan Chunqiu?

Or human? !

If we continue to collect partners at the beginning, the team continues to grow, and they often interact and talk during the game, making Yamada Masaharu feel extremely warm and happy.

So how happy it was at the beginning, how painful it is now.

hateful!

Damn Ma Zhiquan!

Damn Gu Yuan Chunqiu! !

The most hateful thing is that they give you things bit by bit, show off their beauty, and then take them away from you one by one.

Yamada Masaharu felt that his whole body was about to collapse.

…

In the end, the team size was fixed at 5 people:

Vanguard Captain, Undertaker Xin Yenozan.

Vice-captain Raiden, as well as sniper sharpshooter Corena, the snow girl Angel who lost her lover, and the smiling fox, Sio, a young boy who is good at painting.

Reina couldn't bear it anymore. Every time 86 died, it was equivalent to a bullet in her chest.

Until now, she felt like her soul was in tatters.

What surprised her most was that she was given an order from above——

Let the vanguard team perform special reconnaissance missions deep in the front line.

This special investigation mission is all about writing down the words "please die".

Let the 86 people go deep into the hinterland without support from the rear. It is not difficult to imagine what the consequences will be. There is a high probability that they will die there. No, they will definitely die there.

Lena couldn't accept such an order at all, so she argued with her superiors.

But he got a hard slap.

"They are not human beings at all, and there is nothing worthy of sympathy." The officer's voice hurt her deeply.

"No! 86, Xin and the others are obviously living people, flesh and blood humans like us!"

…

The frustrated Reina told the members of the Vanguard Team about this incident at night.

During their conversation, Yamada Masaharu learned:

It turns out that the senior leaders of Santa Magnolia are afraid of the Legion, but they are even more afraid of the 86ers.

These 86s are [drone] fabricated by them. Once the empire wins the final victory in the war and allows the 86s to return to the country, it will inevitably cause huge chaos.

No one can accept it. So many people died on the battlefield before, and they fabricated the reality that there were no casualties.

So no matter what, we cannot let the 86 people go back alive. The so-called five-year retirement and being able to return to the country to obtain citizenship is just a lie they used to let the 86 people go to the battlefield.

And when these guys continue to survive the war, they will be incorporated into the vanguard team.

The vanguard team has the highest mortality rate on the entire front line, the most arduous tasks, and the greatest dangers faced. Those drawn into this team are basically veterans who have experienced hundreds of battles. They can be said to be the elite among the elite.

Only when all members of the vanguard are dead will Santa Magnolia consider adding more personnel, otherwise they will be allowed to continue fighting.

This time, it was time for Xin and the others to die.

The voices of the 86 people could not be conveyed back to the country. In front of them was the imperial army.

And in the rear is a minefield.

In order to prevent the 86 people from escaping back to the country, this group of crazy white pigs not only built the [Iron Curtain] with extremely high fortifications to block their retreat, but also deployed a large number of weapons between the 86 area and the remaining Iron Curtain. of mines.

In other words, the 86ers were caught in the middle and had no choice at all. Going forward was also death, and retreating was also death.

When Reina heard this, she became angry:

“This is a total killing.

Push the 86ers to the front line! "

"So, haven't you thought about resisting?" Reina blurted out in desperation.

"Why not?" Leiden responded, "But we also have people we want to protect."

An Qi is half of the Yuebai bloodline, and her mother is white, but the other half of the cyan blood flows through her body, so her hair does not look pure white, but a little bit of azure. , the same is true for the pupils.

As for Leiden himself, he once received life-saving grace from a white person.

Xin, after his parents died, was adopted and raised by a white godfather.

These people fighting on the front line also have some helplessness deep in their hearts, and they also have people they want to protect.

"Although it is really unpleasant to indirectly protect those damn white pigs, we have no choice." Lyden said.

…

[Chapter 36: 86’s resistance]

No, at least there is one thing they can choose.

Lena decided that no matter what, she must let people in the country know that those fighting on the front line are not drones, but real people.

To this end, she distributed leaflets and preached in the streets of the capital, so that people could pay attention to this matter.

But……

It's all in vain.

People living in the [Iron Curtain] have long been accustomed to the reports of [no casualties] over the years. If they had not seen the images coming from the front and confirmed that the 86 people were real people, they would not have died at all. You won't believe it.

Can't believe it either.

Because these guys have already been brainwashed by lies. Once they accept Reina's statement, they will collapse inside.

For this reason, Rena was severely criticized by her uncle, who was also a high-ranking military official.

"Stop doing such time-wasting things. If you continue like this, I will revoke your controlled status!"

…

The 86s are all grateful for everything Lena has done for them, but they also understand this dilemma.

There was no way anyone would believe Lena.

At this time, Xin and the others received news from the Second Corps of the Eastern Theater Command.

To be precise, it was an elite member of the Second Corps, a short black-haired girl who specially drove her mecha over to inform.

The stakes are too high to be conveyed through a communication device.

Because what they are planning is——

Resist!

…

It is not to resist the Imperial Legion, but to resist Saint Magnolia, and to regain their dignity as frontline warriors.

“We can sacrifice and fight for our country, but we cannot think that our death is meaningless.

The news of zero casualties cannot be allowed to continue to be broadcast.

Therefore, we have to stand in front of them and let those white-skinned pigs take a good look at whether we are humans or machines. "

The girl's eyes were burning and she said decisively.

Yep!

Yamada Masaharu nodded seriously and clenched his fists involuntarily.

This is right!

86 people are human beings too, so why should 86 people die instead of those white-skinned pigs? !

It's also to encircle the country, why don't the white-skinned pigs fight? !

And he also had to use such despicable and shameless methods to make all the 86 people in front die.

Why don't you die? !

…

[Chapter 37, Heading to the Eastern Theater]

After hesitating for a long time, Xin and the other five people agreed to the other party's invitation.

They told Reina the corresponding combat plan. Reina was stunned at first, and then expressed her great support.

But she does not have the authority to open the Iron Curtain, so she will have to rely on the 86 people to return to the imperial capital by themselves.

Although the plan has been made, there is still a fatal problem in the whole plan——

Behind them, there is a minefield. If you step on a mine, you will be blown to pieces.

Therefore, the five-man vanguard team was ready to follow the girls to the location of the second corps and meet up with their corps leader.

Along the way, there were Imperial Legions, and they encountered many dangers on the way.

After a fierce battle, the vanguard troops finally arrived at the location of the Second Corps.

The regiment leader is also a young man.

Generally speaking, the older ones basically died on the battlefield, and those who could survive would be incorporated into the vanguard team to die.

Therefore, except for the vanguard troops on the battlefield, the remaining members of the other corps are all very young.

This was also a deployment made by Saint Magnolia in order to prevent the fire of rebellion from igniting ahead.

Although the regiment leader Yuze is very young, he is extremely wise.

If nothing else happens, he should be the next choice for the Pioneer Captain.

However, Yuze was keenly aware of the conspiracy of Santa Magnolia's senior officials and did not intend to sit still and wait for death, so he sent an invitation to the vanguard troops.

"The battle plan is simple," Yuze said, "Let's attack here first."

He drew a circle on the map, "Drive out the Imperial Legion here and use it as our stronghold. Then, on the eastern front, we and your troops will withdraw to the stronghold."

"But, wouldn't the frontline defense be empty?" Raiden, the vice-captain of the Pioneer Team, questioned.

"Yes, this is what we want." Yu Ze continued, "After the front line is cleared, the Imperial Legion will attack from this gap, and then the minefields behind will be cleared by them.

After that, when they attack the Iron Curtain, we will return to the city and block the gap. In this way, when we return to the Imperial Capital, everyone will know our existence. "

"It's not for anything else, at least our death must be valuable." Yuze said.

…

[Chapter 38, The Burning Iron Curtain]

After successfully leading the 5-man squad and the newly joined members of the Second Corps to seize the planned northeastern stronghold, they cleaned up the nearby battlefield and freed up a space.

The empire's legions, or shepherds, accurately and keenly sensed this signal and led the army toward the Iron Curtain.

With the withdrawal of the forward vanguard team and the Second Corps, the Imperial Legion rushed directly towards the minefield.

Boom boom boom! ! ! !

A mecha stepped on a mine and was instantly blown up into the sky, followed closely by the next one.

The disruptive robot armor used by the Imperial Legion flew directly into the sky, densely packed like locusts passing by, covering the entire sky.

It was obviously daytime, but it suddenly became dark.

At the same time, troops on the ground are also continuing to advance

The scenes in the animation can be said to be extremely spectacular.

This is the most exquisite battle animation Yamada Masaharu has experienced in the game so far.

Every shot is perfect, and the scene is grand, with artillery fire flying, and the flames intertwined in the battlefield, directly dyeing half of the sky red.

The Imperial Legion, these complete robots, are almost using suicidal machine-sea tactics to fill the minefields.

Soon most of the minefields were cleared, and then the huge iron curtain let out bursts of painful wails under the enemy's attack.

It's not that this huge steel wall used for isolation and defense is self-aware, but the huge sound it makes when it is hit by artillery fire does make it sound like a wail.

…

Santa Magnolia's senior executives immediately panicked.

"What?! The empire has already come here?"

"We should be about to break through the Iron Curtain."

"Impossible! How is this possible?!"

"Where are the 86 people at the front? Are they all dead? Why haven't you received any news at all? Why don't you add more personnel?"

"Why did the Imperial Legion attack here?!"

Everyone looks at me and I look at you, who can say why.

Seeing this, Yamada Masaharu couldn't help but clapped and laughed.

Finally he let out a strong breath of anger.

The harmonious white-skinned pigs should have met this end a long time ago. If you treat the 86 people like this, they should have rebelled long ago.

If it were Yamada Masaharu himself, he would definitely not be able to bear it.

The previous game process was really depressing.

However, from this point on, Yamada Masaharu felt that all the emotions in his heart had been released.

In fact, he wished these white-skinned pigs would die.

"Where are your subordinates? Where is 86?!" the officer asked fiercely.

Reina raised her firm gaze and looked at him, smiling teasingly, "Now do you remember that they are subordinates? Sir? The 86 are real people, right?"

"No, they are just war machines, drones!" The officer gritted his teeth and looked at her fiercely, wishing to tear Reina to pieces.

But for the sake of her father and uncle, the slap never came off.

"Of course the machine will obey our commands."

"But people, they have their own thinking ability and their own right to choose. I don't know where they have gone."

"Damn it!!!" The officer was furious and smashed the tea cup to the ground.

…

In order to stop the Imperial Legion, Saint Magnolia immediately organized a wave of white-type temporary troops and went to the Iron Curtain to conduct blockade operations.

Lena was also selected to become one of them.

Return to the combat map.

The battle begins.

This battle was probably the one in which Yamada Masaharu had seen the most friendly troops in his history.

The lower half of the screen was densely packed, and there were almost 50 mechas in total.

However, the only character that can be controlled is Reina.

The rest are all friendly forces.

These guys basically have no combat experience and ability, they are simply a mess.

After the first round of artillery fire, half of the friendly forces were gone.

"What?!" The military superiors at the rear were in disbelief.

It is this situation that allows them to clearly see the combat effectiveness of 86.

Cool!

I don’t know why, but Masaharu Yamada just feels so good.

It was obvious that all the friendly units that died were his own friendly units, but it was more exciting than destroying an enemy plane.

Perhaps it was the feeling that had been oppressed for so long that was suddenly released and vented.

It's really great!

After a while, the white army here was almost dead, leaving only Reina and a few mechas alive.

If this trend continues, Rena will die too.

Yamada Shoji thought to himself.

…
