Perhaps because they knew the bracers had intervened, or because they were preparing to withdraw, this time they prioritized speed over secrecy. So Reinhardt didn't hesitate to take out his Orbment.
"Wind Wings!"
He activated the Orbment three times in a row. After a layer of faint green light enveloped the three of them, he took the lead and rushed to the east. Lancer, while feeling the change in his body, couldn't help but want to get an Orbment for himself.
Although he could use magic (in a broad sense) by relying on runes, with his amateur level, it would be fine if he had enough time. Using it in actual combat would be too difficult. At most, he could use the runes carved on his arm by 'Master' to create ice spears.
So, for him, a simple operation like an Orbment was more suitable.
'I have three months left. I'll find a chance to get one.'
While setting a goal for himself, he also sped up. But it was obvious that Lancer had forgotten one thing.
Even in the 'game', an Orbment wasn't something anyone could get. Generally, only bracers, soldiers, and jaegers had them. Furthermore, considering the current time period, although many people already used this item, it was definitely not something an ordinary person could easily get their hands on.
But what was more important than the 'future' was the 'present'.
With the help of the Orbment magic, the three of them were at least 20% faster than before. They quickly left the forest and entered a hilly area. When the three of them stepped onto a small hill, Reinhardt also stopped.
"That's another DG cult base. You can go by yourself later. We will take our leave now."
After Reinhardt finished speaking, Joshua also nodded at Lancer without saying a word. On the other hand, Renne, who was previously on Reinhardt's back, acted a little strangely. Lancer originally thought that Renne, who was still a young girl, would be relieved when he left, but he didn't expect that Renne would walk towards him with an encouraging look from Reinhardt.
"Thank you, cat... cat uncle."
After timidly saying this, Renne hid back next to Reinhardt.
"Brother, I did it!"
Renne's reaction made Lancer's mouth twitch.
'Reinhardt is brother, and I'm uncle? That's really something to complain about.'
But in reality, it was fine for her to call him that. After all, Lancer's appearance was almost fixed at 22 years old, making him look a bit older than Reinhardt. It was just that the other party always had a cold face which made him seem more mature. And it seemed that her thanks were also taught by Reinhardt beforehand.
Besides sighing about how popular Reinhardt was with women, even children, he had nothing else to say.
He was just a passerby in the other person's life.
"Goodbye."
After waving to the three of them, Lancer rushed down the hill without hesitation, while Reinhardt and the others stood on the small hill and watched Lancer enter the secret building complex before they turned to leave. And the young girl who was still a little afraid of Lancer now had a hint of struggle on her face, but she should be missing Lancer's... cats, right?
Meeting, parting.
Lancer had experienced it several times. He was no longer obsessed with the so-called 'plot characters'. And compared to the three who had already left, he had more important things to deal with right in front of him.
But when he was galloping down, he found that a battle seemed to have already started inside this base. When he got a little closer, he finally saw the situation inside the base clearly.
Three people were being besieged by more than ten people, and there were two groups of people confronting each other on the outskirts of the base.
'It should be some force launching a strong attack on this base.'
He roughly figured out what was happening, but it didn't really matter, because his choice had only been one from the start.
He lingered for two seconds on the small hill, and then——————
"Bang~!"
The sound of crumbling earth and stones was extremely harsh, even attracting the attention of the two groups that were confronting each other. But then they saw a very incredible scene. Lancer actually jumped into the base from twenty meters away.
"Slap~!"
Although he managed to jump in by relying on muscle bursts, his posture was not very good. The long spear he was holding horizontally was now stuck vertically in the ground, and he himself was leaning to the side of the long spear. There was no doubt that if it hadn't been for the spear being stuck in the ground, he would have slid directly into the field.
But even without directly entering the field, the three people who were being besieged and the DG cult members besieging them still cast their gazes on Lancer, who had entered in a 'grand' manner.
One side was the uniformly dressed DG cult members, while the other side was an adult male holding a katana and a brown-haired handsome guy carrying a young girl on his back...
'Tsk~'
He quietly clicked his tongue as a sign of complaint, but the action in his hand did not hesitate. He pulled out his long spear and performed a 'Mountain Splitting Strike' on the group of DG cult members.
The bloody long spear even made an exaggerated howling sound as Lancer swung it. And the unlucky person who was chosen as Lancer's target only had time to block with his halberd.
"Crack~!"
The metal halberd was directly broken into two, and the unlucky person was even split in half.
This extremely bloody scene startled both sides on the battlefield. The brown-haired young man carrying the little girl on his back couldn't help but frown, but just as he was about to say something, the young man with long indigo hair next to him held his shoulder and shook his head.
And after hesitating for a moment, the brown-haired young man also nodded and shouted at Lancer.
"My friend! Let's break through to the gate together! Our support is there!"
"Break through? Thanks, but you go. I'm not here for that. You take that girl and go first. I'll cover your retreat!"
Although he didn't know the two people and the little girl on his back, Lancer still temporarily gave them the label of 'good people' because they invited him, a person who came uninvited, to retreat together. However, he wouldn't do anything like retreating.
As he killed more and more DG cult members, he collected more and more fragmented information. The 'experimental processes', even if they were just fragmented words, all made him furious. Now, only the equally scalding hot blood could temporarily extinguish his anger.
After speaking, Lancer rushed into the group of more than ten people in front of him without hesitation. And the remaining people seemed to know that this man in front of them was different from the two with 'baggage'. They instantly focused their target on Lancer who had just appeared. After all, those two wanted to break through, while this one wanted their lives!
In an instant, several Orbment magic spells were activated, and the rest of the people rushed forward with their weapons.
"Arios! Let's retreat first. After we get this child out, we'll come back and help him!"
After hesitating for a moment, the brown-haired man also quickly made a decision, and the long-haired handsome guy next to him also nodded and rushed towards the gate.
"Wind God Tear!"
The gate was instantly cut open, and he also turned around.
"Guy!"
"Leave it to me!"
Although he was holding the little girl with both hands, a almost solidified 'aura' appeared on his body.
Guy, like a shooting star, directly body-slammed several DG cult members who hadn't expected the gate behind them to be destroyed.
"Sergey!!"
"Suppressing fire!!"
With Guy's roar, the group that was originally confronting them immediately began to fire with all their might. The dense bullets instantly suppressed the DG cult members, making them unable to lift their heads.
"Sergey, help me take care of this child."
After speaking, he turned around without hesitation and launched a charge again.
"Brave Smash!"
At this time, Guy, who had removed the restrictions of the weapons in his hands, instantly burst out with powerful combat power. The 'crutches' he was holding in his hands swung ruthlessly towards the front. After passing through the crowd, he rushed towards the gate without any hesitation. As expected, his friend Arios was waiting there.
"Arios! How is it inside?"
"That person has already gone in."
With Arios's words, Guy's face also changed. They had sneaked in to rescue and only saved that one child. It wasn't that they didn't want to save more, but they didn't have the ability. With dozens or even a hundred DG members plus more than a dozen Orbments, even they couldn't force their way through in a short time, so in the end, they could only choose to save one person.
But what surprised him even more were the bodies of the DG members on the ground.
He himself didn't like to kill people because of his job. The opponents he chose were basically knocked unconscious after being hit hard in the head, and those who were hit by his friend were basically disabled. But most of the bodies in front of him had their eyes wide open, with a small hole in their throat and heart that was constantly gushing blood.
As an investigator, he was almost certain that the person who did this was definitely someone who had countless blood on their hands, definitely a heinous person.
But when he recalled how the other party had covered their retreat, he shook his head again.
'Killing people doesn't mean they're a bad person! From his appearance, he must have some kind of grudge with the DG cult...'
He tried his best not to think too much and entered the base with his friend again. They quickly found Lancer who was rampaging inside the base.
"Guy, be careful. That man looks like a jaeger."
Although as investigators, they hadn't participated in much killing, they had seen many people who killed. Among them were ordinary murderers and imperial soldiers who had broken down due to war. But these people would show some abnormalities during battle, such as madness, anger, and other negative emotions. But there was one profession that wouldn't——————jaegers.
For them, fighting was just a part of their job, as simple as an ordinary person eating and drinking. For example, Lancer at this time.
Even though the researcher in front of him was a woman who didn't look very old, the long spear in his hand did not hesitate at all and directly pierced her chest, which was being protected by her frantically waving arms...
