Chapter 033: The Great Expedition with the Bear Children
The Listan people's hatred of the viper exceeded Wen Dao's expectations, and the landing craft that was originally allowed to carry thirty people turned out to be squeezed into more than fifty people in the end! These more than fifty people have undergone multiple examinations of strength, combat achievements, and luck, although there is still a distance compared to the female general, they can also be said to be the elite of the elite knights of Liansta.

On the plus side, the addition of these fierce warriors has greatly increased the success rate of the repression campaign. To put it badly, more than fifty heavily armed knights were crammed into the landing craft, making it as crowded as a sardine can. The overload exceeded the upper limit of the air circulation system, and not only did the air become turbid, but also the atmosphere seemed to become sinister.
"Stinky man, stand farther away, don't lean over!"
"Don't make unreasonable demands! It's all stuck to the bulkhead, and you can't go back!"
"What are you doing with your hands? I can't spare you if I want to take the opportunity to rub oil!"
"Don't draw your sword, stupid! it will come out of such a narrow place...... Uhhhh
Listening to the scolding from behind, Wen Tao in the driver's seat couldn't help but sigh in a low voice.
You don't need to look back to know that at this moment, the fierce men in the rear cabin are obviously divided into two distinct pulls, occupying the left side of the cabin are the Marine knights who are crying and shouting desperately for a place in battle, and occupying the right side of the cabin are the Pegasus knights who are glaring at them with disgusted eyes.
The number of the two teams is basically the same, and in the middle there is a gap about half a person wide, filled with some long-handled blades that are inconvenient to carry, and the cold light is shining and murderous. If you look at it from a slightly benign point of view, you can think of it as a strengthened version of the 38 line on the desk. At least Wen Dao felt like the leader of a team of bear children on a trip, and he had to take on the role of mediating disputes in addition to worrying about fighting.
"Well, it's still twenty minutes before we arrive at the Viper stronghold, so please bear with me a little longer. ”
The maximum cruise speed of the landing ship was much higher than that of the Pegasus, and the original two-day trip was reduced to six hours, which greatly reduced the possibility of the raiding party splitting up during the march. After using the ship's communication to calm the bear children a little, Wen Dao turned his attention to the passenger seat.
In the passenger seat sat a short, frightened man with shaved eyebrows. According to the custom of the Kingdom of Liensta, shaving off the eyebrows represented the identity of the tortured. In fact, the bald man was one of the Viper bandits who had been captured from the sinking warship, and had also served as a battleship pilot. Such a special status made him warmly welcomed by the Lensta knights, and later he was caught by Wen Tao in the passenger seat and served as an auxiliary human navigator.
Out of consideration for the leniency of the captives, Wendao did not put restraints on him. But even so, staying in the murderous landing ship, the bald-eyed man, the only captive, was like a rabbit thrown into the wolves. Especially the female general standing behind the passenger seat and stroking the tomahawk, not to mention the bald-eyed man who was captured, even Wen Dao was terrified.
"Look, is this the right path?"
Wen Dao turned on the screen showing the scene outside the boat in the passenger seat, and confirmed to the bald-eyed man in a softer tone as possible.
"Yes, that's right, I, we walked along the river when we came out. Being bullied by the female general's momentum, the bald-eyed man's voice trembled violently. "The routes are all prescribed by the 'colonel', and we don't ...... Don't dare to fly. ”
"Is that 'Colonel' the man of your weapons?" Wen Dao confirmed to the bald-eyed man.
According to the interrogation from the Viper captives, it was the mysterious Sampa who codenamed "The Colonel" provided the Viper Bandits with interstellar arms. The "Colonel" not only provided weapons and equipment to the Viper Bandits, but also arranged assembly bases for them, from hunting rare beasts to plundering the city-state, the Viper Bandits had to get a lot of the Colonel in advance. It could almost be said that the "colonel" was the de facto leader of the Viper.
In this raid to suppress the Serpent's Nest, the captured colonel was listed as the focus of the discussion in the operation. However, relying on the fragments of information squeezed from a few captives, it is really difficult to piece together the exact posture of the other party.
"Can you tell me what kind of man that colonel is?"
"The Colonel is...... It's scary, it's a terrible person......"
The appearance of the bald-eyed man's teeth fighting undoubtedly strengthened the persuasiveness of this description, but from that few words, Chinese rice still couldn't grasp the exact feeling. Frowning and thinking about it, Wen Dao felt that it would be easier to understand it if he found a reference to compare.
"Is it more terrible than General Matyuya?"
These words immediately drew an angry glare from the reference.
The bald-eyed man subconsciously looked over, and just happened to meet the angry gaze of the female general, and instantly softened.
"Both...... It's all terrible!"
The bald-eyed man gave the clearest answer with a terrible scream, and the expression on Matyuya's face suddenly became extraordinarily exciting. At this time, a sneering laughter leaked from the back cabin, but it instantly converged in the female general's killing intent. Matyua glared at the disrespectful captive with a twitching look on her lips, who had shrunk into the corner of the passenger seat with her head in her hands, and trembling violently.
"I, I've said everything I know, and the hero spares his life...... What a man spares his life!
"Guy, you sister, get out of the way!"
The annoyed female general grabbed the bald man by the collar and threw him directly behind him, then sat down in the passenger seat. The female general's body was entangled with a cyclone of burning anger, and Wen Dao, who was in the driver's seat next to her, was stared at extremely weakly, and took the opportunity to look behind her to change the topic.
"That, should he be ......" Wen Dao made a gesture of "crossing the river and demolishing the bridge".
"The Manpower of the Lenta Kingdom is thin, these guys are scarce strong laborers, how can they be dealt with casually?" The female general glanced at Wen Dao, then pulled the corners of her mouth and gritted her teeth in emphasis. "But don't worry, I promise he'll have plenty of time to repent of his words and deeds. ”
Wen Dao was 100% confident that the female general would fulfill her promise, and could not help but pray sympathetically to the benevolent brother. At this moment, the instrument plate in front of it suddenly beeped an alarm, and at the same time, a virtual window popped up with a rough map of the Mura Forest.
"What's wrong?"
"Radar picked up the sight of the Viper warship, twenty kilometers ahead of us to the left. ”
Wen Dao lowered his head and read the data on the window. The blue dot in the center of the window represents the landing craft, while in the front left scan line, two red dots representing the Viper are intruding into the radar's detection range. Two predicted routes extend from the red dot and the blue dot, and they intersect at some point in the void. Wen Tao deciphered the extension line of the red dot towards the rear and confirmed that it was consistent with the map data.
"The snake's nest is right up front, so it looks like we're not in the wrong place...... Expect to come into contact with them after two minutes. ”
With Wendao's announcement, the atmosphere that had been slightly relaxed by the previous joke immediately became tense. The knights stared nervously ahead, now very close to the Viper's stronghold, and the odds and risks of being exposed had increased dramatically.
"Do you want to avoid it?" asked the female general in a deep voice.
"There's no terrain nearby to hide, and superfluous actions may attract their attention. Wen Dao quickly scanned the topographic map, and at the same time held the steering stick in his hand to stabilize the course. "We were on optical camouflage and were wirelessly silent. As long as they don't turn on the microfocus radar, they can't detect us. ”
Microfocus radar and optical camouflage are both functions that are shielded by the Empire, although Wen Tao is sure that those Viper bandits do not have the technical strength to break the shielding of the Empire, but after all, the stakes are very high, so he is still quite apprehensive, but Ma Qiuya next to him nodded and directly adopted Wen Dao's plan.
"Then do it!"
"Is that okay?" Wen Dao looked at the female general in surprise.
"On the battlefield, you have to trust the judgment of experts. Matyuya gave Wen Dao a deep look, then turned back to the knights and gave orders to keep quiet.
The knights who received the order immediately grabbed the handrail next to them and held them down, while pressing the armor and swords that made noises in their hands. As the knights watched with bated breath, the two red dots on the window approached so quickly that they were almost visible to the naked eye in a few breaths.
The castrated version of the Viper Battleship naturally has no optical camouflage options, and the two engines lacking stealth mode emit a trembling roar that can be heard almost kilometers away. Wen Dao stared at the warship that appeared in front of the right side of the horizon through the porthole, holding the control rudder tightly with one hand and slowly pulling the throttle valve back with the other.
The female general's cold gaze followed the dragon envoy's movements, while Alec and the other knights struggled to maintain a stiff posture while quietly swallowing their saliva.
The landing ship arced to the right over the forest, smoothly brushing against the two Viper ships.
When the trembling sound of the engine was finally left behind, everyone couldn't help but let out a long breath. In the midst of a large expiring sound, Leng was mixed in with a low-frequency trembling sound. The sound was gone, but the female knights were glaring at each other. The stared Marine Knights looked panicked, and then they all looked up at the sky, trying to show that they had never polluted the air.
“…… There's a snake's nest ahead. ”
Pretending not to hear the strange noise, Wen Dao held his breath and pulled out the topographic map on the window and looked at the female general.
"Next, do we go according to plan?"
