My machine combat simulator has come true

Reinforcement arrives.

"...Don't say that. They must have their own difficulties, Captain Wolfe."

Fidel said so in a calming manner.But what then reached the ears of the two was Luo Dongchuan's somewhat skeptical exclamation:

"Wait a minute. Hey, that group of mechas...is it a little different from the model of the Human Revolutionary Federation troops I've seen before?"

"Huh? Speaking of which, it's true... Was there any mention of such a thing in the previous combat information?"

——It’s not just the friendly NPCs in the game who are a little surprised.

Even Yu Xiao, who was sitting in front of the screen, couldn't help frowning and thinking at this moment.

Because of those green bodies that are new to the battlefield...he has an impression.

EB-06, Graze.It is a mass-produced model of Gallarhorn's side in the Jagged World View.

In this world view, if Yu Xiao remembers correctly...

They should be the main combat MS held by the faction called "EU".

Even so, if it is in the original work, the pile of bodies that are really driven by the "Yahap Reactor".

At this moment, due to its characteristic of automatically generating electromagnetic storm phenomenon, all wireless communication should be cut off and disrupted——

Now the dialogue between Yu Xiao's troops is going on as usual.

That is to say, it should not be the Graze of the iron-blooded worldview in his impression, but a certain kind of body with similar appearance and armament, but specious in essence.

And looking at their action templates that seemed to be dodging light-level aiming, Yu Xiao deduced.

These airframes are probably not equipped with the nano-layered armor that can make beam weapons almost ineffective in the original work.

This relieved him a lot... It's better to say that this is normal.

If the power balance between the three major countries is completely unequal due to different sources of models, Yu Xiao may have to ask the production team of "Machine War VS" to come out and bow and apologize.

So relieved, he just re-targeted the monster clusters in the town and issued an overall tactical order of "focus on attacking".

Naturally, the intention was to allow the characters present to continue their action of annihilating Beta.

And his team members understood his instructions as usual——

"Understood!...Understood, boys! The goal is still on those Betas! Don't fall behind!"

While encouraging the command, Wolfe also drove Torukis, launched the super thruster and took the lead.

His goal was directed at a Fortress in the distance.

But at this time, a Graze that was also located nearby also launched an action accordingly?

"...Hey. I don't want to let go of the prey I got? But it's a pity! Even when I was a racing driver, I never lost to anyone in terms of speed...!"

And seeing such a scene, perhaps with a bit of childish competitiveness, Wolfe accelerated the speed of Torukis.

Even though the multiplying G-force is also pressing against his chest, it's the feeling that keeps his spirits high.

"Yahoo! What a pity, I just accept the result!"

And made him utter the inevitable cheers.

Indeed, the next high-powered beam sword pierced through the fortress level in front of it as expected.

But from this victory, Wolff did not continue to get a positive feedback.

"…what?"

Instead, he murmured in astonishment.

This is all because of that Graze.

——I don’t know when, it turned out to accelerate and charge forward desperately.

And when Torukis swung his sword.

It actually pushed forward and changed direction "just right", and handed its cockpit block to Torukis' blade.

And eventually rightfully so.The driver was also vaporized.

If it is self-determination, it is an exaggeration to choose this method of death on the battlefield...

...But if it is an accidental injury, there is no slightest hesitation in the actions of the machine.

It's like... "Getting what you want"?

Chapter 75 Fighting, Guardianship, and... (4)【[-]k】

Graze, who was "wrongly hit" by Torukis, naturally exploded and disappeared in the next second due to damage to the power unit, and the driver had no other possibility other than death.

Seeing such a scene, the soldiers sent by the EU were naturally surprised, some were puzzled, and some who did not know the truth were naturally filled with righteous indignation.

but.The leader of this force, Connor Conrad.

"What kind of thing is this... Look, everyone! That Torikis... no, or Gundam, it really is a demon weapon! Not only can it kill the enemy, but it can also kill humans who use the weapon itself... the body of the machine The pilot has also been dehumanized without a doubt! In order to defeat the enemy, he even kills allies...even human subjects!"

——but instead, after showing a tricky smile, he reacted a little too excitedly.

"...the loss of a comrade in arms is certainly grieving. But we don't have time to wallow in grief!"

He even clenched his fists with a bit of grief while he was giving a speech in the public frequency band.

Then he cleared his throat and spoke in a serious manner:

"Notify all our troops in the combat area, delete the friendly identification signals of that group of aircraft, and implement the rules of engagement α! The fire control system is released, and the weapons are free to use... At any cost, we must defeat the incarnation of the devil here! This It's my troop commander, Connor Conrad's order!"

Things have turned so abruptly, which naturally arouses suspicion.

For example, the two inspectors of this unit.

"Hey... Hey! McGillis! The identification signal of the non-commissioned officer has indeed disappeared... But, because of an accident whose cause is unknown, the rules of engagement α will be implemented? What on earth...what is going on here?"

No wonder Galio was so surprised.

The rules of engagement α——that is a law that is common among the troops of any country.

Because now the common enemy of human beings, Festum has the characteristics of assimilation.

Sometimes, it is necessary to attack the assimilated friendly forces to prevent further damage.

And the engagement rule α is exactly what exists for this purpose.

In short, it is to remove units that are marked as friendly from the radar and treat the designated object as an enemy.

In this regard, McGillis just habitually twisted the long golden bangs on his forehead.

And after a short period of thinking, he came to a somewhat surprising conclusion:

"So that's it... this is a fake accident."

"What?...You said it was fake?"

"Well. In this day and age, there are many ways to achieve this kind of accident. Whether it is pre-administered drugs such as hallucinogens, or forced remote control with the authority of the commander... I am afraid it is to take advantage of this situation. Fight, first destroy the Torukis and the 'Gundam', and then reward the bigwigs in the consortium, and pour the dirty water of poor supervision on the two of us... no, the entire Seven Star family."

Having said that, McGillis pursed his lips in disdain.

"...Connor Conrad. My opinion of him is already low enough. I didn't expect him to be a more despicable and stupid character than I imagined."

At the same time, his words also aroused Galio's righteous indignation.

"Damn it! How dare you insult the dignity of the soldiers fighting on the front line... and their lives for the sake of your own personal interests! I will now go to the Ask him to apologize, and then withdraw such an unreasonable order...!"

He hammered the cockpit screen angrily, and then held the joystick with both hands, as if he was going to settle the score with Connor's Graze.

"—No. You can't, Galio."

This action was then stopped softly by McGillis.

"What? In this case, do you want me to sit on the sidelines!"

"That's not the case. Not to mention whether Connor will obey your command, most of the soldiers are probably deceived by his clumsy lies now... Even if the facts are clarified, the troops will be thrown into chaos in an instant. .”

McGillis shook his head, indicating that the situation has developed so far, and it may be difficult to reverse it.

"So, the most important thing now is to take the overall situation into consideration....Galio, you should return to the camp immediately, and report everything that happened to Romfila's headquarters in detail."

"Hey. Although I don't want to admit it, but you are still right... Wait, let me go, what about you?"

"I'll stay here.... After all, if the two inspectors are not present, there is a possibility that Connor will beat them up and call them dereliction of duty, right?"

[The book chasing app recommended to me by an old book friend who has known me for ten years, the source app!It’s really easy to use. I use it to read and listen to books to pass the time while driving and before going to bed. You can download it here]

"Tsk. That's the truth... Then I'll leave it to you, McGillis!"

Although he was thinking about his acquaintance in his heart, the purple-haired youth was also the type who could tell which was more important.

So Galio drove his specialized machine—Schwalbe Graze with enhanced mobility, and drove towards the distance at high speed.

However, looking at this friend who left at full speed.

"...Yeah. I'm counting on you too, Galio."

After responding, the corners of McGillis' mouth slightly curled up in a treacherous way.

Then, he said to himself:

"...As expected, I didn't need to go through my hand, the jumping clown, and he was able to do all the preparations for me."

After he manipulated his Schwalbe to retreat a little bit to stay away from the battle formation, the bi-color twin boys also became sharper.

"Let me see, on this stage that has been set up, how do you go, to the EU...no, to the world to show your power? 'Red One'...and, Gundam!"

It seems that in this series of schemes, the role played by the blond youth...

It might be an oriole disguised as a praying mantis.

***

The news that the friendly army was shot down certainly surprised the soldiers on the front line—no, it was rather suspicious.

But at this moment, Second Lieutenant Kronk Chant, a seasoned soldier belonging to the EU Army, was even more suspicious.

Why, before the engagement rule α issued the order, there were many organisms...preliminarily making actions?

And immediately after, the wireless communication with them was also cut off.

Even the body of the young Ain Dalton, whom he took care of most, was among them.

He doesn't look like a thorn in the side who would do something like this.

...So Kronk made up his mind and directly pushed the mobile suit forward.

And after approaching the direction of Ain at high speed, he put Graz's palm on the shoulder of the opponent's machine, and asked not using the wireless frequency band but the contact circuit:

"Ain! How are you doing?"

"K, Lieutenant Kronk? I can't operate the machine... It's been like this since just now, please help me!"

On the other end of the call was the young man who suppressed his panic, but he did reveal a panicked voice.

It sounded like he didn't know what was going on either.and…

"There is no way to operate the airframe".

Such information, combined with Kronk's memory.

It led his inference to a possibility that he didn't want to think of before.

"...Could it be the MD system...?!"

Although he is a person who has been fighting on the front line for a long time, Kronk also knows the name of the most cutting-edge system that the EU military department is leading the development of.

It was said to be a system that could replace the pilot and operate the machine with an artificial intelligence program.

And recalling what Ain said not long before the attack——

"The various preparations for the airframe were later taken over by Captain Connor"...

Kronk roughly understood the whole picture of the accident.

Even if it was just a small-scale conflict that might be a mistaken attack at the beginning, as long as the number of victims increases.

The battle with Red One will be a sure thing.

"Playing tricks...!"

Then, he said even more contemptuously.
