Mecha: Return of the Pioneers

Chapter 1069 Legion Crisis!

Within the AEU.

The tranquility of the Alps was shattered by the din of machinery.

The small town at the foot of the mountain, which had few visitors except during the peak tourist season, was suddenly surrounded by the Guiana-class battleships from A-LAWS and armored forces that appeared from both ends of the only road leading to the outside world.

"Fa, what happened?!"

The noise caused by A-LAWS made the people in the town feel terrified. They took to the streets to watch the MS that flew out of the battleships - the Doom-Type 3 slowly landing on the streets.

"Street control complete! No abnormalities! Bridge, do you need to drive away the pedestrians on the street?"

The leading Doom Type 3, when seeing many pedestrians watching on the street, immediately sent an inquiry to the mothership occupying the sky.

"No! No need to pay attention to the pedestrians! The armored forces that will enter the town later will deal with these problems. Lieutenant Andre, lead your team to point B for investigation!"

On the screen, a scene from the bridge appeared.

She was a bespectacled, serious female officer—Kati Manikin, the current front-line commander of the A-LAWS ground suppression force.

The person who was talking to Kati Manikin was Andrei Smirnov, who was ordered to go to the ground to investigate the target person.

"learn!"

After receiving the instructions, Andre immediately took his team into action.

According to information obtained by the A-LAWS intelligence team, this small town at the foot of the Alps is very likely to have important figures related to the Legion lurking, or to have hidden important information.

"Damn the Legion! They even spared such a peaceful town!"

The town is not big, and Doom Type 3 only needs a few leaps to cross the entire town, but because of this, Andre feels that this mission is not easy to complete.

As Doom-Type 3 was launched, the armored forces that had completed the siege mission began to advance into the town and expelled pedestrians from the streets, forcing the townspeople who were watching to return home immediately to avoid unnecessary trouble.

From the images captured by the Doom 3's camera, Andre could see the tension on the faces of the soldiers who were expelling pedestrians, as well as their fear of the surrounding environment, as if they were afraid of unknown enemies that might rush out from all directions at any time.

Andre knew this very well.

After the war ended several years ago, when countries around the world thought that peace had arrived, a number of strange cases suddenly occurred near the AEU orbital elevator area.

A large number of murders occurred among the technical team responsible for repairing the rail elevator, the engineering team, and even the local garrison troops.

At first, no one discovered the murderer's true identity, and it was even difficult to find effective clues at the crime scene.

It seemed as if the murderer who triggered this series of murders was the god of death who suddenly appeared from nothingness and reaped lives.

Because all murder scenes have one thing in common.

That is, the heads of the deceased were all cut off by sharp weapons and disappeared.

In order to solve these murders as quickly as possible,

In order to quickly restore the orbital elevator that had lost its ability to operate due to the war, AEU had to seek help from the other two major forces - UNION and the People's Revolutionary League.

As a result, with the efforts of an elite team that brought together the three major forces in today's human society, the true identity of the murderer who caused a series of murders was finally solved, but it also plunged countries around the world who thought that peace had arrived into panic.

Legion.

The terrifying autonomous machine that had triggered the AEU orbital elevator war and nearly pushed human society to destruction did not disappear with the war. Instead, it lurked in the unmanned zone near the AEU orbital elevator for a while and stretched its claws towards humans again. Looking at the true identity of the murderer captured by various means, the joint investigation team knew that what happened next was beyond their control, so they submitted the problem to the three major forces without hesitation.

Half a month later, the three major forces announced the formation of an independent law enforcement force, A-LAWS, led by Homer Katagiri, which brought together the elites of the armies of the three major forces.

In addition, this independent law enforcement force is fully responsible for tracking down and clearing out the Legion.

With the establishment and operation of A-LAWS, a shocking dark curtain suddenly unfolded before the leadership of the three major forces.

Especially AEU, which was the only force that was ravaged by the Legion on its homeland a few years ago. After being told that the Legion that once ravaged AEU's homeland did not disappear, but instead became more and more powerful, it became completely unable to sit still.

After a night of dispute and discussion, the AEU countries reached a consensus and issued an order for all troops within the AEU to fully cooperate with the actions of A-LAWS and to completely eliminate the legion within the AEU.

And, at all costs.

The efficiency improvement brought about by such a decisive order is terrifying.

But under this order, the AEU units involved in the operation encountered a nightmare.

Headless corpses were constantly being discovered, and even during the operation, most of the soldiers involved witnessed with their own eyes the horrifying scene of their comrades who were still telling jokes the previous second having their heads chopped off by the Legion's blades in the next second.

Over time, almost all AEU soldiers involved in ground operations developed a kind of paranoia, fearing that they might be beheaded at any time by a legion that suddenly appeared from nowhere.

"Lieutenant. Confirmed the target building, nothing unusual!"

The teammate who arrived at the target location first turned on the airborne radar to scan the surrounding buildings and sent a safe message.

"Don't be careless!"

Andre did not feel relieved, but instead felt something strange.

"No, that's not right!! That's a trap! Get airborne!"

"boom!!"

Before his teammates could react, a powerful flame suddenly erupted from the ground, engulfing Doom Type 3 standing on the ground like a volcanic eruption.

Amidst the billowing smoke, the unfortunate Type 3 collapsed with a loud bang, crushing the building next to it.

What shocked Andre even more was that a group of melee-type fighters rushed out from the collapsed building and climbed up the Doom-3 that had lost its ability to move after being caught in the explosion, just like ants climbing a tree.

Seeing this scene, Andre's eyes suddenly turned red.

Because he knew what was going to happen next.

Once these damn legions get close to the cockpit of the Doom-3, the pilot inside the cockpit will definitely be beheaded by the legions that have torn through the armor.

"Bridge!! Team Andrei is ambushed! This is a trap!!"

Andre immediately sounded the alarm for the battleship and rushed down in his machine. The next second after pulling out his beam sword, he cut off the limbs of the unfortunate Doom-3, and after clearing out the legion that had climbed up its body, he reached out and grabbed the Doom-3's body and flew into the air.

At this moment, Andre's Doom 3 captured a strange picture.

A legion of about thirty people was escorting a figure that looked like a human being and was quickly disappearing into the forest of the Alps.

And at the moment it disappeared, the flying golden hair was deeply engraved in Andre's heart.
