Chapter 263 The Place Where the Wind Ceases

Throughout her life, Tails adhered to her creed. Having been saved by the Knights when she was a child, she dedicated everything to them.

Regardless of the direction the Knights took, she followed them to the death without ever questioning them. Devotion was her consistent quality. For her, the direction of the Knights was her direction, and the attitude of the Knights was her attitude.

Beneath this surface, however, she is an ordinary girl who yearns for everyday life. She longs to live like girls from ordinary families, she wants to have her own friends, sisters, and her own family, but things never go as planned.

Breathing echoed in her ears, the steel structures rubbed against each other, and she could hear the increasingly heavy footsteps outside, and the roar of tank engines.

"Hey~ Sister Tails, you promised, okay? We'll be best friends for life!"

The voices of her relatives and friends seemed to echo in her ears, but when she tried to grasp this wisp of memory, only the sound of the wind echoed before her eyes. On the red brick roof of her hometown, the golden sun surrounded the steel colossus, and the scratches covered the marks of the angels. Warriors stood on the earth, and regardless of good or evil, regardless of their stance, they had given everything for the battle.

"Tails, get out of that awful place immediately... Holy City... is in danger..."

The radio echoed inside the mech, but interference distorted the information, so Tails shut down the channel, escaped Farolensa, and headed south, where the radio became effective.

Tails looked up. The wind had stopped, replaced by a raging torrent of wind propelled by the thrusters. The mech advanced rapidly, smashing open the low-lying porch building. Red monitors flashed. Before her were armored infantry, tanks, cars, artillery, and soldiers ready to fight on the streets and buildings.

Instantly, bullets flew everywhere, various types of ammunition leaving the chamber and flying in all directions. 7.62 mm, 12.7 mm, 20 mm, 76 mm, 125 mm, bullets and shells of all calibers flew everywhere, causing the century-old building to collapse in an instant, and the red bricks and tiles fell to the ground and shattered.

Tails activated the thrusters and sped out of the city. A 125mm cannon barrel was pointed directly at her, followed closely by a 9K119. An alarm immediately went off inside the aircraft. In a very short time, Tails manipulated the thrusters to reverse direction and flew low towards the ground.

call out------

The missile exploded close to the aircraft, causing several subsystems to malfunction. The aircraft then crashed to the ground. Tars struggled to her feet, dodged the missile, and quickly maneuvered towards the edge of the city.

"The target is shifting, repeat, the target is shifting, it wants to escape!"

With the drones in the sky providing a clear view, Huesca Laca ordered the crew to drive quickly and move forward at top speed in an attempt to intercept Tars.

"Target hit, machine damaged. All units, concentrate fire!"

The white walls and red bricks were once the hometown that Tars longed for day and night, but now it has become the place she desperately wants to escape.

From brick houses to wooden houses, and then to thatched huts, the houses on both sides of the street are changing. From the city center to the shantytown, the slums represent the edge of the city. She hesitated, but still resolutely operated the mecha to leave.

Did she escape by sheer luck? Or did she flee in panic? She didn't have time to think about it; she was just relieved that she had ultimately escaped... or...?

"The target is clearly visible."

"Fire control calculations complete."

"Fire!"

The cold, ruthless orders echoed through the crew's radio. A T-90MS-UN had been waiting for a long time, the gunner's eyes never leaving the scope. They ignored the deaths of their friendly forces and the fighting in the city, all for this moment.

A 3BM60 fin-stabilized discarding sabot armor-piercing round tore through the air, shattering illusions and hopes, like a needle puncturing a balloon, and accurately hit Tails's mech.

Metal fragments flew everywhere, steel twisted under the force, punctured hydraulic pipes, and fragments pierced the power system. Energy was depleted due to the broken pipelines, and the system crashed instantly.

The girl didn't even have time to reflect on her life before she stepped into darkness.

"Target hit, this is Platinum crew, reporting Overlord 1-1, target hit, successfully destroyed, repeat, target hit."

On the grass, twisted steel swirls up grass and soil, flames bloom amidst the emerald green, and the wind no longer howls, but silently witnesses the scene.

A T-90MS-UN drove by, and Huesca Raka stuck his head out, looking at the wreckage of the fallen mech. He took a deep drag on his cigarette and flicked the remaining butt away.

"This is Overlord 1-1. Reporting: Operation Hunting Angels, mission complete. All three angels have been eliminated."

Alice walked away from the radio and looked at Raffarin Low, who handed her a cup of coffee. Her days of perseverance and preparation had brought her good news.

One or two advanced weapons are ultimately insufficient to reverse the situation. Everything still depends on industrial strength. Alice conquered the church not by those three advanced tanks, but by a large number of armored troops and active tanks.

Nothing can stop them now.

"The vanguard is still 120 kilometers away from the Holy City. Along this 120-kilometer route, the Church's remaining armed forces of nearly 500,000 people are gathered, a considerable number of whom have not received any training."

"In the south, the International Brigades have successfully broken through the Church's southern defense perimeter, and several armored divisions, in coordination with Allied forces, have captured several cities."

"It is worth mentioning that the International Brigades volunteer force successfully captured two cities, but the Naples side had some complaints about this. After all, the volunteer force did not obey the orders of the Naples authorities. They organized their own government, implemented communal reforms, expelled and confiscated the property of local landlords and churches, and established a so-called cooperative system."

Alice nodded. Regardless, the situation had reached this point. Taking the Holy City would dismantle the center of the world's backward forces and destroy the Papacy.

Raffarin Lo watched Alice's enthusiastic expression, her hand tapping lightly on the table.

Alice, not everything will go as you wish.

Raffarin Loh left the conference room, where Alicia waited for her in the shadows.

“I’m ready. I’ve already retrieved the things you stored in the North, and I also have one or two old items left behind by the Sirens.”

Raffarin Lo nodded and walked outside.
