Immortal Soul of Steel

Seeing the unconscious Ikari Shinji, Nagisa Kaoru smiled and said nothing.

Makiha stood up and hugged Shinji Ikari's neck from behind, making him blush.

"Needless to say, of course it's because you are the core of our team."

"Eh?"

Shinji Ikari looked confused, Asuka looked at Rei Ikari and shook her head.

"This guy is hopeless."

Ikari blinked and said nothing.

Looking at his friends who were all looking at him, Shinji Ikari looked at Lin Youde with an innocent face and cast a look for help.

Lin Youde looked at Shinji Ikari who was like a group favorite, feeling both funny and emotional.

After all, he is Shinji Ikari from the second episode, and his character is countless times better than the loser in the original work.

Although I still feel confused occasionally, this is just caused by the difference in experience and intelligence. It's not just cowardice.

Seeing Shinji Ikari like this, Lin Youde spoke.

"As for EVA, I hope you can all participate in the battle."

"Although the EVA is similar in size to Gurunghast, it is a large machine with a height of 4 to 50 meters. It cannot fly and can only fight on land."

"But EVA's AT stance has an absolute defense that most machines and even dimensional beasts cannot break through at this stage."

"So I hope you can go together, so that whether it is the defense of La Kellam or, when necessary, the defense of the forward base and buying time for the wounded, it is an indispensable ability."

As he said this, Lin Youde quietly added something in his mind.

'Furthermore, the combination of EVA Unit 1, which can be deified, and Shinji Ikari can be regarded as one of the life-saving trump cards when necessary. ’

‘There is no Lilith here in the integration now. Even if EVA Unit 1 becomes deified, there is no need to worry about the first, second, or third impact. ’

'On the contrary, at this stage when the magic stick machine has not appeared, there are not many combat power that can match the deity EVA No. 1 machine. ’

‘It would be a pity not to carry such an insurance policy. ’

After hearing Lin Youde's words, Shinji Ikari also reacted.

"Save and protect everyone?"

"I understand, and I'll try to help if I can."

Asuka looked at Shinji Ikari with a teachable expression.

"Idiot Shinji finally said something humane."

Makiha held Shinji Ikari's head and shook his body, making Shinji Ikari's face turn redder.

"That's right, Shinji is very charming now."

I don't know if it's because he's not used to being praised, or if it's just because of Makiha's intimate behavior that he feels uncomfortable.

Shinji Ikari's cheeks were flushed and the color never faded.

"That is, even I know that the current situation is very critical, okay?"

"And Mr. Xun told me before about the current situation of integration."

"If we continue to let the unity be surrounded by dimensional beasts like this, there is no way we can go back to New Tokyo City 3 to save our parents."

"So, even if it's just for our parents, we have to do our part."

Shinji Ikari's words made the smiles in Asuka and Makiha's eyes grow stronger.

Lin Youde also received it in time.

"Yes, it is nonsense to continue to rescue the Third New Tokyo City while the integration is under siege."

"On the contrary, by helping us at this time, acting together with us, and shining brightly in the rescue operation, we have made our existence known to the people of the entire United Nations."

"In this way, we can get the people to support you and make some people who are trying to obstruct the rescue of New Tokyo City give in."

With Lin Youde's approval, Shinji Ikari became even more determined.

"Then we have to go even more. Although we don't know how far we can achieve it, we will work hard together."

Lin Youde nodded with satisfaction: "Then, all 5 EVAs will participate in the battle, and the others..."

Lin Youde glanced at the crowd, and stood up with a big, reflective bald head.

"Our Glory Star team is a team guarding the research institute and will not participate in external support operations."

Densel's words made Toby the golden retriever a little disappointed: "Eh? Why is this so, captain, I also want to show off my skills at the border."

Densel ignored Toby's words, but Setsuko Obara persuaded her: "The captain is also doing it for our own good. After all, our machines are not black box machines that can inspire the field of BGM."

"There is no special defensive stance like EVA. If we go to the front line, it will cause chaos for everyone."

Toby slapped his mouth and did not refute.

Lin Youde took an extra look at Setsuko Obara.

‘Speaking of which, Setsuko Obara is one of the heroines in Super Robot Wars Z. I wonder if other protagonists in the same world also exist in this world. ’

"Unfortunately, I don't know much about "Super Robot Wars Z" which has not been translated into Chinese. I only know that Setsuko Obara's related title is "Sad Virgo". ’

‘She seems to be living a good life in this world, so she shouldn’t be sad anymore. ’

Xiaoxiao made a mental note, and Lin Youde responded.

"Well, no problem. Our original contract was for you to guard the research institute. External support is not part of your business scope."

"Furthermore, external support is the task of my special force. It would not be good for other forces to get involved."

Densel nodded and sat down again.

Lin Youde looked at the others, thought for a moment, and added.

"As for the others, just select a few as reserves as before, and let's board La Kelam together to wait."

"Although it may not be necessary to attack, given the current situation, there are still too few combatants."

"So, Veretta and Latoni went together as prepared combatants."

Veretta waved her hand: "No problem, you are my boss now, as long as you give me money, I will be fine."

Latoni stole a glance at Ni Xingxing and responded, "I heard from Brother Youde."

Fleet raised his hand and said, "Brother, director, where are we?"

Lin Youde admonished: "You little guys, please stay in the research institute and train well."

"You are not qualified to go to the real battlefield now. This mission is special and it is not suitable to take care of too many children."

"So, Lux, keep an eye on these little guys and don't let them sneak away from me."

Lux smiled and responded: "Okay, I understand."

Lin Youde nodded and responded: "Then, the main combatants this time are me, Mengmeng, Lamia, Zengjia, SRX team, and EVA team."

"The pre-combatants are Latoni and Veretta."

"The technical staff will be the same as before, with the addition of Dr. Marian Radom and Senior Sister Lakshata Chawla."

"The ship's personnel remain the same as before and remain unchanged."

"The above is the attack list for this battle. Do you have any objections?"

While everyone was shaking their heads, Lin Youde made the final decision: "Then, let's set off in three days, everyone, get ready!"
