威瑪戰爭 167－紅龍戰車
Warma War 167 – Crimson Dragon
－－－七號基地－－－
— Base Seven —
瑞德：「大夥整裝，我們這次的準備，就是為了把人救回來！」
Redd: “Everyone, get ready. Everything we’ve prepared for this mission is to bring them back!”
克里斯：「你確定要我留下？」
Chris: “Are you sure you want me to stay?”
瑞德：「對，我需要你留下。因為接下來需要的是戰鬥人員跟機甲。」
Redd: “Yes. I need you to stay. What we need next are combat personnel and mechs.”
克里斯：「我是戰士。」
Chris: “I’m a warrior.”
瑞德：「對，但這裡也需要一個能夠領導的人。我跟嵩馬都要過去，你留在這裡，當我們的嚮導。」
Redd: “I know. But someone also needs to stay here and lead. Shuma and I are both going. You stay here and be our guide.”
克里斯：「我是擔心你跟尤里一起去……」
Chris: “I’m worried about you going with Yuri…”
瑞德沉默了一下。
Redd fell silent for a moment.
瑞德：「克里斯，這個世界的命運，已經跟原本不一樣了。」
Redd: “Chris, the fate of this world is already different from what it was supposed to be.”
「我們現在是在改變命運，不是在走向命運。」
“We’re changing fate now. We’re not walking toward it.”
此時，一台與爆丸坦克同款，但車型相對小一號的戰車緩緩開了過來。
At that moment, a tank based on the same design as the Bakumaru Tank, but slightly smaller in size, slowly drove toward them.
紅蓮：「這台車真是太帥了！」
Guren: “This thing is so damn cool!”
瑞德：「把武器跟車子整理一下，這就是蓋布里歐的戰車版本。」
Redd: “Get the weapons and vehicle ready. This is the tank version of Gabrio.”
紅蓮：「那就利用這次任務，一起看看他的戰鬥力吧。」
Guren: “Then let’s use this mission to see what it can really do.”
瑞德：「好了！到齊！」
Redd: “All right! Everyone’s here!”
「任務小隊，出發！」
“Mission team, move out!”
瑞德帶領著：
Redd led the following team:
紅蓮——紅龍戰車。
Guren — Crimson Dragon.
馬汀尼——火鳥機甲。
Martini — Phoanix.
修寶——爆丸坦克，載著嵩馬。
Xiubao — Bakumaru Tank, carrying Shuma.
鐵齋——橘子汽水。
Tessai — Orange Soda.
尤里——蒼影堡壘，載著瑞德。
Yuri — Solar Ark, carrying Redd.
一同前往救援。
Together, they headed out for the rescue mission.
瑞德：「全速前進！路線圖已經給大家了，橘子汽水跟火鳥機甲先過去！」
Redd: “Full speed ahead! I’ve already sent everyone the route map. Orange Soda and Phoanix, move ahead first!”
－－－路德・往七號基地的路上－－－
— Luther, on the way to Base Seven —
怪物追擊的速度異常驚人。
The monster was pursuing them at an astonishing speed.
路德不斷穿梭在森林之間。
Luther weaved through the forest.
為了減少燃料消耗，他盡量利用滑行的方式前進。
To conserve fuel, he tried to move by gliding whenever possible.
但這樣躲藏下去，也不是辦法。
But he couldn’t keep running and hiding forever.
路德操控蓋布里歐，利用武器擊毀前方的大樹，試圖阻斷怪物的移動。
Luther controlled Gabrio and used its weapons to blast down the trees ahead, trying to block the monster’s path.
然而，身後的怪物已經確定是「母親級」。
However, the monster behind him had already been confirmed to be a “Mother-class.”
對現在的路德而言，駕駛著藍甲蟲型態的蓋布里歐，根本沒有戰勝牠的可能。
For Luther, piloting Gabrio in its Blue Beetle form, there was simply no chance of defeating it.
更何況在墜落威瑪遜星的過程中，蓋布里歐本身就已經受到些許損毀。
Especially since Gabrio had already sustained some damage during the fall onto Warmazon.
這隻母親級怪物，是獨角仙型態。
This Mother-class monster took the form of a rhinoceros beetle.
震動的翅膀發出異常刺耳的聲音。
Its vibrating wings produced an unnaturally piercing sound.
藍甲蟲不斷閃躲著從怪物口中噴出的腐蝕液體，地面上的觸手也不停竄出，從各個方向發動攻擊。
Blue Beetle constantly dodged the corrosive liquid spraying from the monster’s mouth, while tentacles erupted from the ground and attacked from every direction.
忽然——
Suddenly—
一條藏在地上的觸手猛然竄出，瞬間勾住了蓋布里歐的腳！
A tentacle hidden beneath the ground suddenly shot out and caught Gabrio by the leg!
「轟！」
“BOOM!”
整台機甲失去平衡，在地面翻滾數圈後，狠狠撞上山壁。
The entire mech lost its balance, rolled several times across the ground, and slammed hard into the mountainside.
蓋布里歐艱難地爬起來。
Gabrio struggled back to its feet.
路德操控機甲不斷後退。
Luther maneuvered the mech backward.
而那隻獨角仙型態的怪物，已經站在他的面前。
The rhinoceros-beetle monster was already standing directly in front of him.
牠抬起頭，發出震耳欲聾的咆嘯。
It raised its head and let out a deafening roar.
彷彿是在宣告自己的勝利。
As if declaring its victory.
看著眼前已經成為囊中物的蓋布里歐，路德沒有選擇。
With Gabrio already trapped before it, Luther had no other choice.
他拉起雙手的武器，朝著怪物瘋狂輸出！
He raised the weapons mounted on both arms and unleashed everything he had!
「轟轟轟轟轟！」
“BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!”
子彈與砲火不斷轟擊著怪物。
Bullets and cannon fire relentlessly hammered the monster.
牠的身體被打出一個又一個缺口，觸手也不斷被炸落。
Hole after hole was blasted into its body, while its tentacles were blown apart one after another.
然而——
And yet—
怪物依舊不停往前。
The monster kept moving forward.
那些被破壞的部位，竟然又開始快速修復。
The damaged areas began rapidly regenerating.
路德看著螢幕上的數據。
Luther stared at the data on his screen.
「……這輸出完全不給力。」
“…This firepower isn’t doing a damn thing.”
就在這時——
Just then—
對講機突然傳來一個聲音。
A voice suddenly came through the radio.
：「路德！停火！」
“Luther! Cease fire!”
路德愣了一下，看向駕駛螢幕。
Luther froze for a moment and looked toward the cockpit display.
：「停火！路德！」
“Cease fire! Luther!”
路德立刻停止了攻擊。
Luther immediately stopped firing.
眼前的怪物再次發出咆嘯。
The monster in front of him roared again.
然而……
However…
牠的咆嘯才到一半。
Its roar had barely begun.
就像車禍現場突然被撞飛一樣——
When suddenly, it was sent flying as if it had been hit by a speeding vehicle—
「轟！」
“BOOM!”
怪物瞬間消失在路德眼前。
The monster vanished from Luther’s sight in an instant.
路德：「怎麼回事？」
Luther: “What the hell just happened?”
他急忙往右邊看去。
He quickly looked to his right.
森林之間，只剩下一道引擎留下的光跡。
All that remained between the trees was a streak of light left by an engine.
下一秒——
The next second—
一台橘色的蓋布里歐從天空直接降了下來！
An orange Gabrio descended directly from the sky!
鐵齋：「還能飛嗎？」
Tessai: “Can you still fly?”
路德：「應該還行！」
Luther: “I think so!”
鐵齋：「你是不是調整到宇宙飛行能力了？」
Tessai: “Did you set it to space-flight mode?”
路德：「什麼意思？」
Luther: “What do you mean?”
鐵齋：「因為在威瑪星的飛行，不需要那麼大的動能。」
Tessai: “Flying on Warmazon doesn’t require that much thrust.”
路德：「？？」
Luther: “??”
鐵齋：「就是你打檔打錯了！！」
Tessai: “You put it in the wrong gear!!”
路德：「咦？」
Luther: “Huh?”
馬汀尼：「快點啦！別聊天了！」
Martini: “Come on! Stop talking!”
此時，周遭的樹木開始一棵接著一棵倒下。
At that moment, the trees around them began falling one after another.
轟！
BOOM!
轟！
BOOM!
轟！
BOOM!
看起來像是有巨大的東西正在快速靠近。
Something enormous appeared to be approaching at incredible speed.
突然——
Suddenly—
一台機甲從森林中衝了出來。
A mech burst out of the forest.
路德：「剛剛是隱形嗎？」
Luther: “Were you invisible just now?”
馬汀尼：「我抱住他，先上去！」
Martini: “I’ll carry him. Get up there first!”
火鳥機甲一把抱起藍甲蟲，直接跳上山壁。
Phoanix grabbed Blue Beetle and leapt straight onto the mountainside.
而橘子汽水則迅速轉向，對著怪物發射出大量砲彈！
Meanwhile, Orange Soda quickly turned around and fired a barrage of shells at the monster!
砲彈在空中展開，瞬間化成巨大的固定網，將獨角仙型態的怪物牢牢困住。
The shells deployed in midair, instantly transforming into enormous restraining nets that firmly trapped the rhinoceros-beetle monster.
路德跟著兩台機甲一路衝上山壁。
Luther followed the two mechs all the way up the mountainside.
當他抵達山壁上方時——
When he reached the top—
眼前已經有三台載具完成部署。
Three vehicles had already completed their deployment.
所有武器，同時瞄準了下方的怪物。
Every weapon was aimed at the monster below.
準備攻擊。
They were ready to attack.
火鳥機甲抱著藍甲蟲退到後方。
Phoanix carried Blue Beetle toward the rear.
此時，瑞德走了過來。
At that moment, Redd walked over.
瑞德：「路德你好，我是瑞德。」
Redd: “Hello, Luther. I’m Redd.”
「我們是來救你的。」
“We’re here to rescue you.”
瑞德看了一眼遠處的怪物。
Redd glanced at the monster in the distance.
「不過在那之前，我們先把這怪物解決掉。」
“But before that, let’s take care of this monster.”
瑞德走到蓋布里歐旁邊，快速操作了一下機甲系統。
Redd walked over to Gabrio and quickly operated its systems.
路德突然驚訝地發現——
Luther suddenly realized, in surprise—
原本已經快要見底的飛行時間，竟然瞬間增加了十倍！
The flight time, which had almost run out, had suddenly increased tenfold!
路德：「怎麼回事？」
Luther: “What happened?”
瑞德：「你之前把機體設定成宇宙飛行狀態。」
Redd: “You had the machine set to space-flight mode.”
「現在重新設定之後，就可以跟我們一起飛回去了。」
“Now that I’ve reset it, you can fly back with us.”
路德：「我需要子彈！」
Luther: “I need ammunition!”
尤里立刻搬了一整箱武器過來。
Yuri immediately carried over an entire box of ammunition.
尤里：「這是你的子彈，打完還有。」
Yuri: “Here’s your ammo. There’s more when you run out.”
說完，尤里順勢掃描了一下路德的身體狀態。
After saying that, Yuri quickly scanned Luther’s physical condition.
尤里：「有點脫水。」
Yuri: “You’re a little dehydrated.”
尤里拿出一瓶水遞給他。
Yuri took out a bottle of water and handed it to him.
「這瓶水給你。」
“Here. Drink this.”
路德：「謝謝。」
Luther: “Thanks.”
路德看著眼前的眾人。
Luther looked at everyone standing before him.
「你們……怎麼感覺都已經準備好了？」
“You guys… how does it feel like you’ve already prepared for everything?”
瑞德笑了一下。
Redd smiled.
瑞德：「這……說來話長。」
Redd: “Well… that’s a long story.”
「準備戰鬥吧！」
“Get ready for battle!”
就在這時——
Just then—
下方的獨角仙怪物已經掙脫束縛，再次振翅飛了起來！
The rhinoceros-beetle monster below broke free from its restraints and took flight again!
橘子汽水迅速鎖定目標。
Orange Soda quickly locked onto the target.
「砰！」
“BOOM!”
兩發巨大的網狀砲彈瞬間射出，牢牢抓住怪物。
Two enormous net-like shells were fired instantly, firmly catching the monster.
瑞德：「開火！」
Redd: “Open fire!”
所有人同時發動攻擊！
Everyone attacked at the same time!
砲火瞬間覆蓋整片森林。
Gunfire and cannon fire instantly covered the entire forest.
紅龍戰車、爆丸坦克、火鳥機甲、橘子汽水，以及藍甲蟲同時開火。
Crimson Dragon, Bakumaru Tank, Phoanix, Orange Soda, and Blue Beetle all opened fire simultaneously.
怪物完全無法招架。
The monster was completely overwhelmed.
牠試圖修復身體。
It tried to regenerate its body.
卻又被冰凍砲彈瞬間凍結。
But it was instantly frozen by the cryo shells.
瑞德：「隨時補充冰凍砲彈！」
Redd: “Keep the cryo shells coming!”
「不要讓牠有反應的時間！」
“Don’t give it any time to recover!”
「轟轟轟轟轟——！」
“BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM—!”
所有人的火力持續集中在怪物身上。
Everyone continued concentrating their firepower on the monster.
冰凍、砲擊、子彈接連命中。
Freezing rounds, cannon fire, and bullets struck it one after another.
怪物的身體開始逐漸崩解。
The monster’s body gradually began to break apart.
許久之後。
After some time.
轟——！
BOOM—!
最後一發砲彈落下。
The final shell struck.
獨角仙型態的母親級怪物，徹底被擊潰。
The rhinoceros-beetle Mother-class monster was completely defeated.
森林重新恢復了寧靜。
The forest fell silent once again.
路德看著眼前的眾人，又看了看已經倒下的怪物。
Luther looked at everyone before him, then at the fallen monster.
沉默了幾秒。
He was silent for a few seconds.
最後忍不住開口。
Then he finally spoke.
路德：「你們……好強喔。」
Luther: “You guys… are seriously strong.”
