"Is it really good to take out people from Insley at such a great price, and then turn them on the front line to be cannon fodder?"

"What's the matter... Didn't I climb from a dead soldier from a pioneer camp to my current position step by step?"

"I mean, if something happens..."

"What I need is a strong warrior. If he dies in battle, it means he is not strong enough."

"You were able to survive at the beginning because of how strong you were, just luck!"

“Luck is also part of strength.”

"...You didn't think about it. If this child is really related to the apostle, you do this..."

"So what? With the existing power of human beings, we are still far from fighting against the existence of the apostles. We do not have that power at all now... Loxso and Huangquan's people are too anxious. They are not afraid of death, but their actions may kill everyone."

"...I do feel that way after you say this...we... are still too weak...but if he dies on the battlefield, I mean, will there be any problem?"

"If he is really related to the apostle, this level of war will not pose any threat to him. Even if he is really killed in the war, it only means that his "task" has been completed in the apostle's "plan"... Then again, personally, what do you think of the apostle as a person?"

"According to the official statement, it is a God left over from ancient times, or the servant of God, a trace of the existence of the previous civilization... Of course, in the eyes of more people, the apostles are a symbol of natural disasters. But I personally prefer to combine the two views, what about you?"

"I think...these apostles are more like a group of surveillanceists, who monitor the world where we cannot see it, and at some point intervene."

"Interference? Do you mean...the light of coming?"

"Well, not only that, I think any incident related to the apostles can be regarded as a means of interference."

"…What is their purpose? Do you want to revive that prehistoric civilization?"

"I have no idea."

...

...

"Bang!"

With a loud bang, the iron-gray lion heart was improved and hit the ground heavily. The huge impact force directly formed a shallow pit covered with cracks on the ground. The human-shaped armor half-kneeled in the center of the shallow pit, motionless, and white steam slowly overflowed from the gap on the surface of the armor.

"Puff...cough cough cough cough..."

Ashes spitted blood in his helmet and coughed violently. Although he landed smoothly, he suffered serious injuries - his tibia and fibula were slightly broken, and his internal organs were also painful. The arm bone of his right arm was used for support when he landed on the ground. The entire humerus was broken from it, and the misaligned broken bones pierced into the muscles. The feeling was as if he was constantly stirring with a blunt knife.

Not only that, the right arm with the armor had been severely damaged and scrapped, completely losing its ability to move. The armor on the surface was seriously deformed, and the internal bone frame was broken in many places. If it weren't for the steam valve of the right arm that was automatically closed by the emergency mechanism of the armor, otherwise the entire right arm of the ashes would have been cooked by the leaked high-temperature steam.

"Emergency Preparation Measures... The second step... it should be this button..." Ashes' left hand groped on the inside of the armor and the hand armor. The conventional control mode of the lion heart is mainly based on the pilot's muscle activity and the mechanical structure is supplemented. However, when the overload mode is activated or the pilot is seriously injured, the order will be reversed and the armor will be carried to move with the human body. This is also the reason why the pilot will bear huge loads and even injuries in the overload mode. Compared with the human body, the power of the machinery is too strong and has far exceeded the limit that the human body can bear.

"Crack...Crack..."

Under the action of the transmission machinery, the armor slowly stood up. At the same time, several injection needles poked out from the hidden groove inside the armor and pierced into the shoulder muscles of the ashes, injecting several drugs such as compound injury drugs, painkillers and stimulants into his body.

"Hiss... I'm really lucky..." Due to the injection of a large dose of anesthetic, Ash's entire right arm lost consciousness, but this would at least protect him from severe pain. The Lion Heart improved hands that attacked this time were equipped with weapons. If one of his right arm was lost, he would not lose too much combat power.

"It seems that this armor is really specially prepared for me..." Ash learned from Loxso that his drug resistance is fifteen times that of ordinary people, and the dose of drug injected into this Lion Heart Improved Armor is exactly fifteen standard units at one time.

"I just don't know how the actual combat power is..." Ash lifted his left arm, which controlled the armor, and pulled out a conical armor-breaking sword that was nearly two meters long. This armor-breaking sword was improved on the shape of the armor-breaking cone. Blades on both sides can not only pierce the armor, but also be used to slash.

More than fifty meters away from the edge of the shallow pit, a team of about 100 federal troops were approaching carefully with guns. Ashes couldn't help but sighed. On the front line of the two camps, based on the information they learned when they set out, the federal troops in this area were very sparsely distributed, and the chances of encountering the enemy were extremely low, but he just ran into it.

"Well? These federal troops do not seem to be equipped with heavy weapons?" The smoke and dust raised due to the impact had dissipated at this moment. When the ashes saw the equipment of the federal troops clearly, the other party also saw the true face of this "falling object"...

...

"Steam-powered armor!" Looking at the human-shaped machinery standing up from the shallow pit, Yevgeny suddenly felt a chill on his back. He thought that the crashed airship was landing here, but who knew it was actually a murder machine wearing iron armor!

"Mould bottle!" Yevgeny ordered loudly, and more than a dozen molten bottles were immediately thrown towards the armor by the federal soldiers. The bottle body was broken, and the tincture oil inside instantly stained the surface of the armor and started to burn.

"Retreat! Everyone retreat! Run!" After ordering to throw the moor bottle out, Yevgeny immediately issued the second order.

"Boss! Why run away? That guy has been wrapped in flames, we can kill it!" A recruit turned around hesitantly and asked in confusion.

"We don't have heavy weapons and cannot cause substantial damage to this thing. If we rush up, we just die and run!" Yevgeny grabbed the recruit, turned around and ran away.

...

Although the mobilizer could not hurt the pilot in the armor, it could indeed block the sight. After the turbid oil was almost burned out, Ash was surprised to find that the team of federal soldiers had run hundreds of meters away.

This scene gave him a sense of familiarity, but this time, his position was completely changed.

There was nothing wrong with the soldiers pursuing these federal troops. The airship crashed, injured himself, and injured his armor... According to the Emperor's combat regulations, he had reached the standard of withdrawing from the battlefield, and there was no need to continue fighting.

His life belongs to him, and he has no intention of selling it to the empire casually.

"The retreat and assembly site...South Sixteenth District, is this direction?"
