Steel steam and flame

"Run at full power! Execute the second retreat order!" The mask unfolded, and Sawyer shouted loudly, with obvious vibrations in his throat, "Vice-captain, follow me!"

Several wisps of white smoke were ejected from a piece of kinetic energy armor, and the closely fitting alloy pieces became active at the same time. As if they were growing and expanding, the slender and beautiful body of the kinetic energy armor expanded by nearly one-third. Its speed increased again. After a few breaths, except for Sawyer and the two deputy captains beside him, the other members had already evacuated to both sides in a small team of several people, away from the target and the area where Zero would come. area.

"How long does it take for the team of experimental subjects?" Sawyer shouted in the communication. Along with a burst of electronic sound, the channel was cut off, and then Tornos's voice was connected.

"I have tried my best to catch up with you. Considering your speed, it will take five to six minutes. Apart from the experimental subject team, I only have members of the Holy Guard and several managers of the experimental subject here. I have asked other members to disperse. In the surroundings, we will provide support to the main battle site according to the situation and orders." The communication contained the sound of howling wind and the sound of footsteps with a strong rhythm, "Captain Sawyer, the experimental team has not arrived, regardless of Mr. Zero and No matter what the condition of the target Cassia is, you are not allowed to get close to them. You just run back now, and don’t stop even if Miss Hainoi falls to the ground."

"Is Cassia's target not us, but other members of the team?" Sawyer heard something from Tornos' tone.

"All the information has been summarized by Komishur, and the result of her analysis is this. Cassia wants to reduce the number of our team as much as possible in order to give his ground team more room to survive. The main target is still the experimental subjects, and a few of us are just random candidates. If there is a chance, Cassia will definitely not let him go. Soon, our team and the enemy team will meet around this area. As long as we carry out the original mission To hinder or delay the target without the possibility of support according to the order, this is considered the success of our mission." Tornos did not directly answer Sawyer's inquiry, "In short, we only need to make it as possible as possible. Cassia can't support other places, so staying with us is considered a success."

The communication was cut off, and Sawyer turned around. Behind him were only the dead leaves that he had picked up as he ran, and the ancient trees that were getting further and further away.

After telling the two vice-captains the time of arrival of the experimental subjects, Sawyer's thoughts began to work. After he saw the target, he thought about how he should do what he could do, instead of watching from the side and unable to find an opportunity to enter the field. I have been thinking about this question for a long time, but there has been no answer.

"Captain Sawyer, where are you now?" At this time, the voice of dragon knight Foster interrupted Sawyer's thinking, "Mr. Zero and the target Cassia are extremely fast and are currently heading in the direction you are running. It’s about three thousand meters!”

Sawyer immediately turned back, and after confirming that the scenery he saw was still a darker scene inside the forest, his heart beat violently for several times before he could calm down: "We traveled about 1,500 meters."

"You have been within Cassia's detection range, Captain Sawyer!" Mishuer's voice entered the communication channel halfway, "If necessary, please use all your strength to evacuate and wait until Miss Hainoi falls. , your safety can only be guaranteed at the basic level.”

Sawyer hummed, and the time between turning back obviously accelerated after that. Sawyer couldn't help but smile bitterly at this moment. His behavior at this moment was, at best, a tactical retreat, but at worst, it was an escape. Moreover, he turned around and ran away without even seeing the enemy.

"I don't know why I took the team to rush on the road just now?" I asked myself, but I couldn't get the answer. But Sawyer is not a hard-headed person and will not stubbornly insist on anything. Under any circumstances, do what suits the situation. This is the most correct and reasonable choice.

"Be prepared to overload at any time." Sawyer reminded the two deputy captains beside him. "When a situation arises, everyone will evacuate separately. We did not see the experimental team arriving, and all our efforts were used for retreat."

"Captain Sawyer, Mr. Zero and the target are speeding up again!" Foster's voice sounded like a crow standing on a dead tree "croaking" at this moment, making Sawyer irritated.

"Roger that!" Sawyer replied. He turned around, and there was calm behind him. They were only a breath apart, and when they looked back again, they suddenly felt something approaching quickly. The color of the air seemed to have changed, becoming darker. Sawyer opened his eyes wide and still didn't see anything, but when he sensed it, two violent auras swept up out of thin air, overtaking him in an instant and pressing hard on him. At the same time, a line of sight with no hidden meaning followed the violent aura and glanced past him.

"Bang!" A large stream of heat erupted from all the cooling vents all over his body, and the back of the kinetic energy armor on Sawyer's body made a collision sound, like a switch being pressed, and two separated gears instantly engaged, "Overload, separate! "

The two vice-captains also activated overload operation at the same time, immediately changed their direction, and fired diagonally to evacuate. Sawyer raised his head. The wind caused by the dragon's descent had caused the tree canopy to shake slightly. In probably less than ten seconds, Hainuoyi and the dragon would be able to fall in front.

Sawyer took a deep breath at this moment, feeling a chill running down his spine. This reminded him of the feeling of being stared at viciously by other people's large pet dogs as a child.

Fear. Sawyer believed that he was just scared now. Even though he didn't see the enemy at all, the things that happened in less than a minute and the strong aura of violence around him were enough to make him at this level. people understand.

"Dong dong,,, dong dong,,," the tapping sound coming from behind replaced Sawyer's heartbeat for a while, filling his entire head. The thick tree canopy ahead was already shaking violently under the strong wind. In perception, Sawyer could clearly feel the two people running rapidly behind him.

Looking back at this moment, Sawyer turned his head. Two flowing shadows, one black and one red, each rolled up the dead leaves behind him. They were only about two hundred meters away from him. There was no intention of looking back. Although the speed of the two was faster than his own, it did not prevent Sawyer from clearly seeing what the two looked like at this moment.

Sawyer has information about the empire's scaly state surgical capabilities, but at this time, Zero and Cassia may have broken away from Sawyer's basic understanding of scaly status. In Sawyer's eyes, except for running fast on two legs, the two of them had already broken away from the human category. It might be more accurate to say that two powerful Class II creatures are competing for the territory under their feet.
