Chapter 294: 293 This Duke from

~8 min read 1,468 words

"Stop!"

"Don't go over!"

"It's dangerous!"

Amidst several screams that sounded almost at the same time, the pilot of the third power armor finally reacted, stopped the footsteps of going over to send his head, and forcibly stopped outside the white mist hiding the Grim Reaper.

However, half a human-high metal leg was grabbed by a silver-white giant hand and thrown fiercely from the thick fog, hitting the head of the third power armor with a bang, directly lifting more than half of the observation cabin, revealing the cockpit below.

"Help... help!"

Amidst the screams of the third power armor operator, the ghostly figure of the "Grim Reaper" was also thrown over.

And when the silver hand dissipated and landed, Leon, who was carrying the little golden hair, had already jumped into the cockpit, cut off the seat belt that bound the operator with a swish, and threw him out along the observation cabin directly.

"You sit down!"

After untying the rope on his back and pressing the little golden hair, whose legs were as soft as a twist, onto the driver's seat, Leon, while releasing his intention to re-collect the Cursed Silver scattered all over the ground after he vacated, ordered with a blank face:

"Start it! Hurry up!"

……

It definitely won't work to just run with two legs.

Facing the power armor with a speed of about fifty or sixty kilometers per hour, he really couldn't run with two meat legs. As long as one power armor was not knocked down, even if he could rush out of the encirclement, he would be followed all the way to the capital, and his identity might be exposed.

And he couldn't support it in terms of physical strength. After being bitten by that damned black snake, his demon anomaly was severely weakened. The sulfur scent around him that constituted 【Endless Blood Battle】 was so thin that it wasn't even one-twentieth of what it was before.

He still had to save this remaining bit of "Endless Blood Battle" for life-saving when injured, or for replenishing consumption after driving Cursed Silver, so he couldn't give it to his two legs to run away, so he must grab a power armor to replace his legs.

As for what to do if he doesn't know how to drive power armor... isn't there still this little golden hair who knows how to drive?

Seeing the little golden hair sitting in the driver's seat in a daze, not yet reacting to his meaning, Leon, who didn't have much time to waste, couldn't help but raise his hand and slap him on the head, directly threatening:

"Either drive the power armor! Or die! Choose for yourself!"?!!

Finally understanding Leon's idea, the little golden hair, whose tears and snot on his face hadn't been wiped clean, trembled, and then his still handsome face quickly flushed, and he roared back with the loudest voice in his life:

"I won't drive!"

"Give up!"

"Swear by the glory of the Laien family! I, Steven Laien, even if I die! Die in this cockpit! Jump down from here and fall to death, it is absolutely impossible to betray my comrades and drive the power armor to help you escape!"

Really tough!

Worthy of being my adjutant!

After hearing the little golden hair's brave roar from afar, the remaining members of the power armor squad thought about their performance when they encountered this scene, and admiration appeared on their faces one after another.

Real man!

Although the Adjutant usually acts a bit arrogant, he can't leave the Laien family he came from in three sentences. After knowing that the Laien family is going to marry the Royal Family, his tail is almost up to the sky, which is annoying.

But although he is very annoying as a person, he is really reliable at critical moments. He would rather be finished off than cooperate with the enemy. These bones are really hard!

……

Good fellow, he actually has backbone.

Facing the little golden hair whose tears and snot on his face hadn't been wiped clean, but still refused him with hard bones, Leon couldn't help it for a while.

After all, driving power armor is a technical job. He really can't play it. Just looking at that big pile of messy counting tables on the instrument panel, he would have to learn for a month or two to understand it, not to mention a bunch of miscellaneous switches and joysticks. If he had to do it himself, he probably couldn't even find which switch was the start.

"How about this..."

After shaking his head helplessly, Leon asked:

"You keep talking about the Laien family, mentioning that Lionheart Duke of yours, have you seen him?"

"Seen... of course I have seen him."

After hearing Leon's question, the little golden hair suddenly felt guilty in his heart, and then his eyes flickered somewhat:

"I once... visited that Duke with my family, and I was kindly received by him. I was even asked to stay that day, and I had dinner with the Duke in the main building of the Laien Manor."

"……"

Give it a rest, you. A kind reception is one thing, but dinner in the main building? I haven't even lived in that dump for a single day. You'd be better off saying you saw me being dragged off to drink by a red-haired woman at a tavern.

After looking at the little golden hair who was lying to his face speechlessly, Leon had to ask:

"Just pretend you've seen him... then do you know what he looks like?"

"Of course I know!"

Seeing that Leon actually doubted his words, the little golden hair couldn't help but flush his face and refuted angrily:

"I know the Duke very well! He was handpicked by the previous old Duke to take the position. At the time, no one was optimistic about him, and that loser Earl even boasted that the Duke's title would rot faster than a cabbage.

But not long after, the Duke successfully stabilized the situation, and by relying on his outstanding appearance and eloquence, he won the favor of the Princess, successfully securing the Military Department and the Road Administration Department for our Laien family... uh... you... you you you you!"

"Don't you anymore, you recognize this face, right?"

Rubbing his face, undoing the effect of 【Suppose】, revealing his original appearance, Leon squinted at the dumbfounded little golden hair and threatened with a blank face:

"Start it quickly! If you don't start it, tomorrow's headline of the Sun Newspaper will be Lionheart Duke attacking the airship tower and being caught!"

"You... you are a fake!"

After being stunned for a few seconds, the little golden hair raged:

"As long as you are caught, the disguise on your face will be useless. No one will believe you..."

"Here, the Duke's seal."

Greeting the young Ha, taking out the Lionheart Duke's seal, and throwing it to the dumbfounded little golden hair, in order to avoid him continuing to say that the seal was forged, Leon directed the young Ha to search in the mirror world, and found the whole set of things that could prove his identity.

"This is the crown on the day of the succession ceremony."

"……"

"This is the Duke's formal wear given by your Laien family."

"……"

"This is some kind of badge, saying it represents the seat of the Deputy Speaker of the Upper Academy."

"……"

"And the succession edict with the Royal Family's signature."

"……"

"Can these prove my identity?"

Looking at the little golden hair who was holding a pile of things with the Lionheart crest of the Laien family and couldn't stop trembling, his brain having completely crashed, Leon reached out and patted his face, urging with squinted eyes:

"Are you sure? If you are sure, hurry up and drive the power armor! You don't want to see your Lionheart Duke being caught for the crime of attacking the airship tower, right?"

"……"

"Puff————"

The sound of the steam furnace running sounded. In the astonished gaze of the members of the power armor squad, a certain power armor that had originally stopped because of the "iron-boned adjutant's" refusal to cooperate actually started again tremblingly.

Besides that, it also threw off all the armaments that could be thrown off, and even took the initiative to unload part of the removable outer armor, reducing the weight to the limit, and then rushed away in the direction away from the encirclement at a high speed of seventy kilometers per hour!

"……"

"……"

"……"

No? Didn't you say you wouldn't cooperate even if you died? Then who on earth is driving this power armor? Is it your ghost after you were finished off? ===== CHAPTER 295 =====
