Chapter 119: A Big Hug (2)
Lory and the Ichiro brothers scattered clumsily for cover. They didn’t dare to spread out too far and quickly regrouped, to avoid anyone getting lost.
Lory turned around and fired his last cannon at the space pirates chasing them. He deeply regretted teaming up with three people armed only with cold weapons. They couldn’t put any distance between themselves and the space pirates.
They had a chance to escape with the help of the Alliance Army, but for some reason, a new wave of space pirates flooded into the valley. The Alliance Army couldn’t hold them back, so they had to run first.
Even though Lory knew more Alliance Army reinforcements would soon arrive, he couldn’t help feeling incredibly tense. He had used his last remote attack. If they couldn’t widen the gap from their pursuers...
Bang!
A space pirate’s mecha, closing in on him, was suddenly knocked down by a huge hammer. Lory was startled and turned to see the rescue team emerging from the thick fog.
But when he saw the number on the mecha and realized it was a classmate of his, and that there was only one of them, his heart sank. With their current situation, one more person would just be another victim of the space pirates.
Lory thought the newcomer didn’t know how many space pirates were chasing them and was about to yell at Mecha 666 to run away. But Mecha 666 charged into their group, throwing a hammer at the space pirates.
The chained hammer was a wide-range weapon. The more enemies and the closer they stood, the better it worked. They would get tightly tangled in the chains. If one tried to break free, it would tighten more on the others, trapping them all. Apart from being tricky to master, it was one of the fastest ways to get the enemy under control.
Seeing the space pirates temporarily controlled, Ichiro and his brothers rushed in. Their swordsmanship was fast, precise, and fierce, quickly taking down four or five of the space pirates’ mechas.
Yuka relaxed the chains in her hand, letting the defeated mechas fall to avoid hindering their attack. Then, she reversed the grip in her other hand, thrusting her long sword into the cockpit of the nearest space pirate’s mecha.
