I rely on myself

Chapter 647 Arrival and Forced Breakthrough

“Clang—bang!!!”

With a closing sound, the open roof of the carriage closed again, and Barbatos lay back in his original position.

"laugh----!"

There was another sound of gas leakage, the door of the cockpit opened, and Mikazuki got off Barbatos. At this time, the people around seemed to have seen the opportunity and surrounded Barbatos to inspect it.

Sanriku was naturally not surprised to see this, and even moved aside a little to make way for the maintenance team.

"Thank you for your hard work, Mikazuki."

At this time, Yukinojo came closer and asked Mikazuki, "How is the new armor? It shouldn't have much impact on the operation of the machine."

This was the first battle in which Barbatos changed into the new armor, so its data was very referenceable. The driver Mikazuki felt the same way, so Yuki no Cho asked this question.

Mikazuki thought about it for a moment and replied, "It's not as flexible as before. Although thrusters have been added, they can only be used for straight-line acceleration. In short, it feels less flexible than before, but that's it."

"I see." Although Mikazuki's words were a little vague, Yuki no Cho, who had been dealing with him for many years, was able to understand what he meant, so he could understand it very clearly.

"There's nothing we can do about it. After all, adding armor will improve the machine's defense and combat time, but the price is that the weight of the armor will hinder Barbatos's flexibility. This is inevitable."

Yukinojo said this with a wry smile, and Mikazuki understood it very well, so he was not complaining or anything, he was just simply grumbling.

After all, this situation can be likened to that if the originally lightly armed Barbatos was equivalent to a warrior with a good balance in all aspects, but now with the addition of new armor, it is equivalent to becoming a heavily armored knight. Although the defense has been greatly improved, and the speed has been increased by the newly added thrusters, the flexibility has been greatly affected. The fighting styles between the two can be said to be completely different.

Even Mikazuki was not very adaptable for a while, but fortunately this was just a minor problem. With the help of the Alaya-vijnana system, Mikazuki was only slightly uncomfortable with the situation.

"Okay, I understand what you said. Don't worry, I will help you adjust Barbatos to the best condition, and you can have a good rest. After all, we don't know what kind of battle we will encounter later, so as the main combat force, you must rest more."

"Got it, uncle. I'll leave Barbatos to you. I'll go and rest first."

After saying that, Mikazuki did not stay any longer and left directly. On the other hand, after watching Mikazuki's figure disappear, Yukinojo also devoted himself to the work of adjusting Barbatos.

While Olga and the others were on their way to Edmonton again, Galio, who had successfully rescued Karta, was not in a very good mood.

Seeing that there was no sound from Karta in the communication, Galio could no longer hold back the tears in his eyes.

Thinking that Karta was still concerned about the battle with the Tekkadan until the very end, Galio was filled with grief and at the same time, a rage for revenge was burning in his heart.

"Don't worry, Karta. I will definitely defeat the Tekkadan and let those Martian rats bury you, along with Ain..."

After a few more days of driving, Olga and her friends finally arrived at their destination, Edmonton!
Through the windows of the train, the members of the Tekkadan looked at the city in the distance. That was their destination this time. "Is that Edmonton?"

"Ah, this is also the place where our future fate will be decided, so cheer up!"

"You don't need to tell me!"

Similar conversations were heard in various carriages on the train. Olga was well aware of this, but she said nothing.

Everyone who had just arrived at the station immediately became busy, for no other reason than to get into the city of Edmonton as quickly as possible. Because Olga and her team traveled quite fast, they arrived three days before the election meeting.

Although the possibility is very small, Olga and the others are holding on to a glimmer of hope, thinking that the election meeting has not started yet and the blockade around Edmonton may not be that strict, so they plan to take the opportunity to enter the city first.

However, after a hurried journey, the final result was still unsatisfactory.

Should we say it was expected? Just as Olga and the others had expected, all the intersections leading into Edmonton city were blocked by Gjallarhorn, leaving no loopholes at all.

After some investigation, it was found that, unfortunately, there was no loophole for Olga and his team to sneak in, and the situation was not just that.

What's worse is that because of the Tekkadan's big move, Gjallarhorn naturally would not be unaware of it, and they immediately sent troops to attack Olga and his men.

With no other options, Olga and her companions had to find a warehouse in the suburbs as a temporary base, intending to deal with the incoming enemy first.

The result was very smooth. With the active efforts of Mikazuki, Akihiro and Shino, the attacking Gjallarhorn troops were wiped out before they could even get close to the stronghold.

After being repelled several times, the commander of Gjallarhorn seemed to realize that he could not deal with this group of young soldiers from Mars with his own strength. He had no choice but to let the troops return and implement the strategy of holding on.

Just because Galarhorn had quieted down didn't mean Olga and the others had too. After all, they had not forgotten that their goal was to send Shimei and Kudelia to the election meeting, so as soon as the attacking troops left, they immediately organized an offensive force and planned to break through by force.

Because of the interference of Yahap, the MS could not enter the city, so Mikazuki and others stayed behind, and Olga personally led the others to drive the mobile engineers to attack the checkpoint blocking the entrance to Edmonton.

As soon as Olga and the others appeared, they were met with a fierce bombardment. Fortunately, everyone was not a pushover. They all found cover and fought back.

Just as Olga and others launched the attack, the troops on Gjallarhorn's side who had been retreating naturally received communications from friendly forces. After learning that the Tekkadan were now attacking the checkpoints entering the city, they immediately felt that this was an opportunity and could take advantage of it to launch a sneak attack.

But the result was not very good. After all, Olga had anticipated this, so letting Mikazuki and the others stay behind would naturally mean that the enemy who attacked again would lose more than they gained.

Although the surprise attack failed again, Gjallarhorn did not take it to heart. After all, it was a good thing to find out that the enemy's MS did not participate in the attack on the level, but stayed in the base.

They thought that without the help of MS and with only a few mobile engineers, the Tekkadan would be at their mercy, but the reality often surprises people.
