NieR: Whirlpool

Chapter 455 Guam Deadlock

Lingering,

After three hundred rounds of battle,

Ye Feng took the 10H data body out of the quantum server and stored it in the phantom light.

The other people in the cage rejected Ye Feng's kindness. They had long been accustomed to life in the cage.

"The world outside depends on you!" 006 said gently.

Youyue patted Ye Feng on the shoulder and said, "You must win. Kill him!"

Feiou and Xiao Zhang looked reluctant to leave.

Ye Feng looked at the two children standing side by side, with a sly smile on his face.

【Xiao Zhang has grown up! 】

"Everyone, take care!"

"Remember to come back often to visit our big brothers and sisters!"

"10H is in your hands now. Protect her well!" 006 said earnestly, just like a mother-in-law.

Ye Feng couldn't help but laugh.

Speaking of,

With 006 around, 10H certainly won't die so easily.

……

The screen turned,

western pacific,

Guam,

The sky was thick with dark clouds.

Densely packed mechanical life forms,

Hundreds of thousands of troops from both sides were ready for battle.

On one side are the East Asian mechanical creature rebels led by Norman and the mechanical creatures infected with the logic virus.

On the other side is the special flight squadron led by Aaron, which consists of 200 Dragon Kingdom mechanical warriors with artificial human bodies.

They were driving improved HO fighters, and each of them controlled 1000 unmanned rotorcraft.

The tiger's eyes widened.

And not far away,

The navy led by Carl has come into conflict with another navy.

Dense swarms of drones and rotor-shaped mechanical life forms infected with logic viruses,

The battle started over the sea area of more than 300 kilometers, and the two sides were at loggerheads.

Iron shards rained down.

Dye the entire sea area black.

"Reporting to the Commander-in-Chief, the resources of Supply Ships 1 and 2 are running low. The resources of Supply Ship 3 are not enough to operate the drone carrier production line. It is expected to stop production in one hour."

After hearing the report from his men,

Karl Dönitz, who was wandering in the operations hall, cursed angrily.

Staring at the command screen.

"Reporting to the Commander-in-Chief, more than half of our drone fleet has been lost, and the number of enemy mechanical life forms is still increasing!" A guard came running to report, looking panicked.

"Reporting to the Commander-in-Chief, supply ships No. 4 and No. 5 were hit by long-range fire from the enemy. The hulls were severely damaged and urgently need repair!" Another guard reported, his voice trembling.

"Report to the Commander-in-Chief, the enemy has broken through our outer defense line and is approaching our core area!" The third guard's voice sounded somewhat desperate.

"Report to the Commander-in-Chief, the enemy's three aircraft carrier battle groups are approaching us from the northeast."

"Reporting to the Commander-in-Chief, we have detected four aircraft carrier battle groups coming from the northwest and southwest to cut off our retreat..."

"Damn it!"

Karl Dönitz clenched his fists, and his joints made a "cracking" sound due to the force.

His face covered with artificial skin,

His muscles were tense and his eyes were flashing with anger and unwillingness.

"Pass my order, all supply ships stop producing drones and use all remaining resources to manufacture weapons. We will go on the battlefield and fight them to the death!" Carl's voice was low and firm, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth.

"Commander-in-Chief, we have no way out now!"

A staff officer said anxiously, worry written all over his face.

"We have no retreat!"

Carl turned around abruptly, scanning everyone in the combat hall with a sharp gaze.

"The enemy has surrounded us. The only way out now is to fight our way out!"

"But, Commander-in-Chief, your safety..." Another staff officer tried to persuade him.

"Stop talking!"

Carl interrupted him, "I have made up my mind! I will personally lead the flagship to cover the retreat of the main force!"

"Commander-in-Chief, this is too dangerous!"

"Commander-in-Chief, please think twice!"

"Commander-in-Chief, you can't go!"

For a time,

There were voices of opposition in the operations hall, and everyone was shocked by Carl's decision.

"Shut up, everyone!"

Carl roared.

The sound exploded in the combat hall like thunder, instantly overwhelming all other sounds.

"This is an order! Follow it!"

Karl Dönitz turned around.

Ignoring everyone, he strode to the command desk and began issuing a series of instructions.

Although his voice remained firm, the slightly trembling ending revealed his inner struggle.

As an advanced intelligent mechanical life form,

Karl Dönitz possessed calculation and logical thinking abilities far beyond those of ordinary people.

He knew clearly what his decision to leave behind meant.

But he had no choice.

For the sake of Dragon Kingdom and victory, he must make sacrifices.

He took a deep breath.

Then he exhaled slowly, as if he wanted to expel all the emotions in his heart.

His eyes gradually became firm, like a lone wolf.

Made the final decision in desperation.

"Let the children retreat..."

the other side,

The situation of the air force formation led by Aaron was also not optimistic.

The original plan of the Military Committee was to drive Norman to Guam and let them fight with the mechanical creatures infected with the logic virus.

But something unexpected happened.

The logic virus did not attack the rebels.

Instead, he joined forces with the remnants of the Norman army and attacked them.

Aaron gritted his teeth as he looked at Norman hiding behind the army of logic viruses.

"traitor!"

Norman von Tirara sat high on the throne in the command center of the helicarrier.

His mechanical eyes flashed red.

Staring closely at Aaron Bushnell's resolute face in the holographic projection,

A smug smile appeared on his face.

"Aaron, do you think you can kill me with these pieces of scrap metal?"

Norman's voice was low and hoarse, with a hint of disdain.

"Go deep alone!"

"You underestimate me!"

Aaron in the holographic projection narrowed his eyes: "Norman, your time is over. You betrayed the general and betrayed N2. You are doomed to fail."

"Hahaha!"

Norman laughed up to the sky, his laughter full of madness and ridicule.

"Failure? I, Norman von Tira, have never known what failure means! I am the master of the Eastern Land! You, the running dogs of the Dragon Kingdom, will all become my slaves!"

He waved his hand suddenly, and the holographic projection switched to the external surveillance screen.

I saw countless mechanical creatures pouring out from several motherships.

Surrounded Aaron's flying squadron.

These mechanical soldiers are well-equipped and have powerful firepower.

Each one is a war machine carefully built by Norman.

"Aaron, see? This is my power!"

A ferocious smile appeared on Norman's face.

"You think you are facing just a bunch of rabble? No, you are facing a torrent of steel! An army that can destroy everything!"

He looked at Aaron triumphantly, his mechanical eyes flashing with bloodthirsty light.

He couldn't wait to taste victory.

"Aaron, you still have time to surrender now,"

There was a hint of temptation in Norman's voice.

"I can spare your life, and even make you my deputy, ruling this land with me!"

Aaron in the holographic projection remained calm.

He just shook his head slightly.

He said word by word, "You are a piece of shit!"

"If you don't accept my toast, I'll punish you!" Norman's face suddenly darkened.

He slapped the armrest of the throne fiercely and roared,

"In that case, don't blame me for being ruthless! Kill them all! Don't spare any of them!"

With Norman's order, countless mechanical soldiers launched a fierce attack on Aaron's flying squadron.

For a moment, the sound of gunfire and explosions filled the sky.

Fires shot into the sky and smoke filled the air.

Norman von Tira sat on the throne.

Watching the slaughter with smugness,

A cruel smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, as if everything was under control.

He believes,

It won't be long before Aaron and his flying squadron will be completely wiped out.

And with the help of the logic virus, he will become the only king in this land!

Suddenly, he rolled down from his throne.

"My Lord, you are truly wise and powerful, and you have great foresight! How could Bushnell and Dönitz be your opponents?"

Norman von Tira got down on one knee.

With head bowed,

The tone was full of respect and flattery.

"When your army arrives, the Dragon Nation will be reduced to ashes. By then, this entire planet will be yours!"

In front of him,

There stood a mysterious figure in a black robe.

The hood of his robe covered his face, and only his pale and thin chin could be seen.

He is the Lord Norman refers to - "Shadow".

The shadow's voice was low and hoarse, like a whisper from hell:

"Norman, you did a great job. As long as you destroy the Dragon Nation army, I will give you everything I promised you."

"Thank you Lord Lord!"

Norman's eyes flashed with greed.

"I, Norman von Tira, am your Lord's man in life and your Lord's ghost in death! For the Lord, I am willing to go through fire and water, without hesitation!"

"very good."

Shadow nodded in satisfaction, "Get up."

"Yes, my lord." Norman stood up respectfully, still with a flattering smile on his face.

At this moment, where was the madness and violence he had when facing Aaron?

Just like a pug wagging its tail and begging for mercy.

And on the other side,

Space,

Broken bunker,

Server Room,

The shadow gradually dissipated.

A YoRHa cyborg slowly stood up, its eyes bloodshot as it stared at the earth outside the window.

"Woof...Woof woof..." (Revenge! Revenge!)
