Chapter XXXIII
As soon as he left the lab, Zoro immediately returned to his room, knowing that something was wrong.
He didn't know if he would be able to stop Galiot's plan, but no matter what he was, he would try to keep Rofan as safe as possible, which was the innate mission and honor of being a protector.
Zoro took out a recording device again, recorded what he had seen and heard in the virtual space, and the identity of his defender, and then carefully hid the device in the secret safe in his room.
Zoro didn't know why he did this, a strong sense of unease lingered in his heart for a long time, and he had a feeling that he probably wouldn't see Luo Fan after this time.
"Didi... Didi...", and just as Sauron was stunned, his communication device rang. This is a message from Galio, who asks everyone to assemble in the ship's conference hall within half an hour.
Sauron hurried out of the room, sending a message to all the defenders on the way, asking them to prepare their weapons and wait for his orders.
By the time Sauron reached the hall, it was already packed, and Galio was already standing on the stage, preparing his words.
"Long live the Commonwealth, and may Sam be eternal,
Fellow Sam people, there are two main things to say about the convening of you today.
First of all, not long ago, I received an order from the Federation to carry out the "Destiny Plan", the so-called Destiny Plan, which is to recapture a royal artifact from a Sami rebel army, which is a sacred mission entrusted to us by the Federation and the King.
The second thing is a pity, now all the evidence now points to the defection of our beloved General Lovan. I have reported this to the Confederation and to the King, who have expressed their regret and appointed me as the new head of the expeditionary force.
His Majesty the King even went so far as to kill his relatives, telling us not to care about General Rovan's royal status, and to eliminate all criminals who betrayed Sam and the Federation. Galio gave an impassioned speech.
Hearing this, the Sam soldiers in the audience were in an uproar, and their faces were full of incredulous expressions. But in an instant, this incredulity slowly turned into curiosity about gossip.
In the end, prompted by the tirade of hindsight, that curiosity turned into infinite contempt, as if they had already seen through Luo Fan as a "hypocrite" who was inconsistent with his appearance.
Zoro on the side was stunned when he heard it, if he hadn't known the truth a long time ago, then would he be like this.
This strange thought made Zoro shudder, and Zoro was glad that he had already told all the members of the Defender League the truth on the way here, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Interrupting the commotion in the audience, Galio continued.
"And yesterday, I have sent people to activate all the weapons on the spaceship, and today I will gather everyone here to mobilize before the war. Because we have locked down the location of General Rofan through the equipment of the base, he is now near a city-state a hundred kilometers from the base.
Interestingly, he also seems to be heading towards the base, presumably preparing to unite the rebels to eliminate us in one fell swoop. We certainly can't be tied down, so I'm going to deal him a fatal blow on his way back. “
At this moment, Sauron's opinion of Galio is no longer describable with contempt. To use a classic phrase, Sauron had never seen such a brazen man.
After saying that, Gallo led everyone to the outdoor school yard to assemble, and it was about to be distributed with high-damage weapons. Sauron knew he couldn't put it off any longer, so he had to take risks.
So, Sauron pressed the control button in his hand. At the same time, the three-headed Kodomon in the virtual space opened their blood-red eyes, but the Sam soldier who was sent to carry the weapon next to him was completely unaware of this.
As you can imagine, in a very short period of time, dozens of Sami soldiers who were stubbornly resisting were crushed into pulp by the crazy Kodomon.
The sound of firefighting from the direction of the laboratory instantly attracted everyone's attention, and Galio ran towards the laboratory with his personal guards as soon as possible.
Knowing that this was a good opportunity, Sauron quickly pulled out a charge laser gun as he gave the command to all the defenders to fire.
"Boom... Boom...", there was a burst of gunfire, and a large number of Sam soldiers began to fall. Until the last moment of their lives, they did not expect that one day their own people would fire at them.
Before Gallo, who was halfway through, could react, two guards fell in a pool of blood. Turning, he glanced at the fall of a large number of soldiers behind him, and then at Sauron, who rushed to the front with a submachine gun.
"TMD, Zoro, you bastard, I'll make you pay. Galo shouted through gritted teeth, quickly organizing the remaining soldiers and launching a counterattack towards the position on Sauron's side.
The companions around him fell one by one, and Zoro looked at the bundle of energy bombs in his hand, and he knew that he was probably going to be planted here this time. Now he could only pin his hopes on the out-of-control Kodomon.
Although Sauron first attacked and attracted everyone's attention, and then attacked from behind to eliminate a large number of Galio's soldiers, taking the lead, any conspiracy and trickery seemed so pale in the face of absolute strength.
In numbers, Galio had at his disposal at least five times as many soldiers as the defenders. After the previous sneak attack, Galio still had more than 400 soldiers, and only about 100 defenders remained.
Now the defenders can only temporarily huddle behind cover and struggle to support, while Gallo's side, on the other hand, is steadily advancing his position with strong firepower, and it is only a matter of time before the defenders are eliminated.
Fortunately, at this time, the Kodo beasts on which Sauron had high hopes did not disappoint him. The two Kodomon sprang out of the ship and headed for Gallo's position.
For a moment, Galio's forces were caught in the middle, suffering heavy losses under the double blow of the defenders and the Kodomon.
In the ensuing battle, Galio gradually became at a disadvantage and retreated. The whole scene was completely chaotic when a lost Kodomon tore through the position of Galio's side and rushed in front of the defenders.
Both sides had to turn their guns and pour all their maximum firepower on the Kodomon, but this Kodomon was so easy to deal with.
Although both sides knew that the monster's weakness was in the soft part of its abdomen, they paid a huge price and barely incapacitated the two Kodomon.
After a scuffle, there were twenty-four men on Galiot's side, and only six scarred soldiers remained on the defender's side.
Looking at the five defenders beside him, Zoro knew he had failed, but he did his best.
Thankfully, the warriors beside him cast resolute glances, without the slightest flinch or hesitation.
"Hahaha, give me a hard beating!", Zoro smiled wantonly, with the unique melody of the submachine gun, in the battlefield full of gunsmoke, it was like a god.
