高軌道運行的數萬顆通訊衛星同步轉播開票實況，還有布麗姬特在競選總部進行的最後一場演說。517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzsWvW53fH
517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbD71ui0Rw
「諸位國民……希望您能暫時放下立場，放下成見……聽我說完前言，接著，各位就不會在網路、新聞，還有任何通訊設備上看到我。517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckVjhmqCDT
517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZM2ATmZic
這是決定未來的重要時刻，因此，更應該暫時離開那些喧喧擾擾的電波，把時間留給最重要的人。跟自己的真心構通、跟親朋好友聚在一起……親口訴說想法、親耳傾聽大家的選擇。」517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaJtHHuu54
517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0itAH0SIuY
稍作暫停，布麗姬特對電視牆後方的導播點頭示意。燈光、麥克風、攝影機依序關閉，員工們紛紛放下器材，還有點不知所措，只能跟著女候選人來到總部外頭，看著她面對街上群眾，使勁吶喊。517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3ItfJUNIo

懷著期許與不安，火星居民紛紛開啟各自的電話端子。讀取基因資訊、確認身份後，在兩個選項之間抉擇。多數人都沒注意到，這時的首都上空出現一架懸浮的四足機體，高速接近帝國大使館。517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeriaQ5FZUV

「山杜爾弓騎，自動駕駛。」517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcDl2X9CC7
517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54WRQWWD1b
重拾特工任務的麥西米利恩一邊用語音控制坐機，一邊套上戰鬥面罩，目標地點很快就進入視線。大使館地面，偵測到高處異狀的帝國守軍投射出大量無人機。裝甲部隊、自動砲台也都把注意力放在可疑物體上頭。517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQz6MlzEg39
517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdT5XYRZGrZ
見對方咬餌，暗殺者開啟駕駛艙一躍而下，讓山杜爾繼續引開視線，自己的身形則是消失於半空。不出幾秒，屋頂磚瓦被撞凹陷，一對腳印延伸到護欄邊，接著就是下方樓層玻璃破碎的聲響。517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBiVqMLHqQ
517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpM6JrCY6B
房內士兵驚覺有人從外入侵，趕緊衝到損毀的窗前舉槍瞄準，卻看不到任何敵蹤，只能單方面地被消音子彈貫穿腦門。全套光學迷彩設備的麥西米利恩不給守衛通報機會，一路殺到最內側的休息室。按照預測情資，金度就在裡面，而且還無人陪同。517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1UUK393yJ
517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSgGsiB3hY
那是不太可能發生的狀況，特工決定謹慎行事，在門前解除隱形、把電力轉換到改造瞳孔的視覺系統。仔細掃描後，發現牆後真的只有一個生物反應。517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvf40AW4SS
517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6S4w76PW9S
麥西米利恩控制心臟幫浦減速，重新裝填手槍後，迅速起腳一踢破門而入，馬上就被異常景象震撼：帝國派系候選人癱倒在沙發上，兩眼淌著深紅血痕，呼吸也很微弱。517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡieeum1a2Ms

特工架槍走近目標，確認對方已經無力反抗。垂死的金度聽到聲音，擠出最後一絲力氣試著回應。517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJ4VHFeIOz

那個語氣、神情，確實與過去的金度‧金恩‧艾因里希本人相符。麥西米利恩單膝下跪，試著幫奪回身體的主公急救，但他似乎心意已決。517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtcM8FyKK5
517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv869W8l7hC

517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjqc04nM5Y
金度伸手摸向椅面，在沾血的水果刀旁邊找到電話裝置。觸控螢幕顯示著總統選舉頁面，麥西米利恩握住主公顫抖的指尖，引導眼盲的他，在女兒欄位上按下血紅印記。517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QJvW8ErPL

「這……不是月亮殺手……」薩邁爾登上艦橋，看著戰略螢幕中的偵查照片思考。敵彈尺寸跟一般艦載武裝無異，可見金度之前的威脅只是幌子。追求單一武裝威力的科技結晶稱霸戰場，加上源源不絕的走私貨船魚目混珠，成功造成思維盲點。517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPL2LEE9Gr

千年前的地球末日戰爭，各大國只用不到一成的核彈備存就將彼此消滅殆盡，促成昂天崛起。時至今日，天地衛嚴格控管，將所有彈頭和相關技術留在母星，終於能昭告世界：讓整個文明灰飛煙滅，是多輕而易舉。517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNN6981qZxi

被取了個幼稚名稱的機體已換上整組強化裝備。背部是按海王星設計圖所打造的小型躍進引擎、雙肩是摺疊起來的噴射輔助腕、雙足是電磁護盾循環裝置。和平重工出產、外環地帶改造、努那人搭乘，可謂宇宙大雜燴，然而，烏霸的訴求十分單純。517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkl8uKRHGY

恐怖事實與相應對策同步釋出。一傳十、十傳百，暗中籌備疏導路線的人士終於能躍上檯面。生存慾望超越派系之分，國家組織與民間團體互相配合，引導群眾在各大廈頂樓登船避難。宇宙軌道的六梵天艦長暗自握拳叫好，命令部分船隻離開關德琳指定位置，加入接駁任務。517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4i5tSVw3ZD

無數噴射火光拉著煙雲，從機場、街道、甚至荒地竄上高空。希臘湖社區已完成撤離，山杜爾弓騎停在水邊，麥西米利恩立於艙外，感受微風吹拂，把家鄉景色烙進腦海，轉身回到座位。通訊晶片最後收到的文字訊息，是主子的命令，也是他的動力泉源。517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3H2gJWaYQx

總統宣言傳入奧林帕斯基地。裝載完成的太空梭內，多數士兵看著主導者不知如何是好。沒想到，政治失腳的女子竟直接掏出手槍，推開操作員，自行啟動火箭引擎。517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqhAVXBmEB

噴嘴燃燒轟擊地面，煙塵衝出山腳排氣孔。凝結在船體上的冷卻液隨著震動剝落，圓盅狀的巨型太空梭緩緩升空，打算直接撞開行進路線上的民間載具，強行脫離重力場。517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCunV3yDK2h

緊急通訊打斷關德琳的低語，來源是領航者號。故作鎮定的女傑用槍口掃過通訊士、研究員，想找出洩密者時，突然被孤立感席捲全身。517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjUXaDvi1v

「立即交出我們的組員，否則，後果自負。」艾嘉‧斐南迪在通訊螢幕上凜然逼問。努那戰船用主砲對準太空梭，格納庫內的齊波等人迫不及待想要前往搜查，但對方還是沒有放棄的意思。517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRxolM9qZr

「愚蠢……妳不可能攻擊，這裡有拯救世界的關鍵情資，所有導彈的位置預報！跟金恩家的小丫頭說，想救所有人就乖乖聽我的！這也是妳組員的願望啊，強迫她離開，剝奪她的志願，太不尊重了吧？」517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtFCQKEWyr

關德琳敲了幾下主控台鍵盤，把演算機得到的資訊傳給領航者。預測顯示：兩百枚核彈即將在一分鐘後突破最終防線，進入首都上空。517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpt1tgYKsvb

通訊中斷，艾嘉艦長憤而握拳。不斷傳來的支援請求還有雷達情資，讓她只能忍痛命令大副改變航線，與繼續上升的太空梭漸行漸遠。517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlOCJFeMN6

火衛一防衛線。瑪卡錫塔操縱雙子機兵，持續製造扭曲空間抵擋攻勢，能量就快耗盡。宇宙何其廣闊，各大船艦、各式機體、各種武器不斷射擊，還是難以避免新出現的導彈鑽過漏洞，努那勢力加入也無法彌補空缺。517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEPGkgpr1P

一顆又一顆的白色光團在深空膨脹、消散。殘骸破片落到首都造成不少損害，宛如災禍之雨的前兆。民意黨總部擠滿了人，爭先恐後地想要攀上總統專用接駁艇。時間緊迫、空間也容納不下更多，駕駛員只好強行起飛。517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsYewmunje

奇妙的是，孩童不再哭嚎，反而指著另一側窗外的天空，似乎被某物吸引。布麗姬特跟著向上仰望，只見遠處星辰纏著雷光，彎曲成數道圓環，從中閃現出一個壯碩的人形輪廓。517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59PIZImT3x

大小艦艇精準脫離超光速航行，加入各區防衛陣線。利用速度優勢靈活轉移至導彈群下方的黑鋼巨兵則是拔出紅刀，雙手握於胸前，肩部裝置同步延展、變形，成為額外的兩條輔助臂，用強化油壓掌實實在在地支撐劍柄。517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27KsPRsirx

了斷過去、邁向現在⸺機身旋轉捲起狂風，斬擊架式快如電掣。通用規格的刀身在揮動過程中竟極度延展，甚至橫越天際。層層雲朵瞬間被赤刃掃過，只留一圈弧形殘痕。範圍內所有導彈都被攔腰剖半、同時炸毀。517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7i0pTCeBG
