Chapter 55: Artemis (3)
"Wait, don't you have a word of thanks?"
Patrick turned a deaf ear to Noyelu's dissatisfaction, changed into supplies, and thought about his next plan of action.
"You'll see for me!" The communicator was filled with a cacophony of voices, and he glanced at the girl next to the hatch, unable to see the eyes staring at him through his helmet.
At this moment, behind Noyelu turned two Southern Union soldiers from the search party, who had come to check on them because they had not received a report from their teammates - of course, those two would never reply.
The subject's inhuman reaction caused Noyelu to draw two pistols while the enemy was still surprised, and she killed them with two crisp shots.
"Damn," Patrick had just changed his gear, "is this your way of getting revenge on me? Not even a silencer, is it?"
"Sorry, sorry!"
What's the use of apologizing? Patrick felt a little helpless in his heart, and the whole base would rush to them like crazy.
"Warning, strong interference detected and part of the AED system functions are unavailable. "Not only that, but the enemy communicator Patrick gets no longer has enemy communications.
As they stepped out of the transport plane, the Southern Union soldiers of Nagku opened fire on them, reinforcements were arriving, and the pilots of the MS-N boarded their mechs and prepared to start.
Damn, it was Zvado's own order to make such a big formation, and he must have hated Patrick deeply, and the troops of "Artemis" had received strong evidence that there were government restrictions in the first place, and they would come to them desperately at this moment. Patrick wasn't interested in Southern Union's cosmic armaments, but Zvado's current expression caught his attention even more.
One by one, the MS-N in Nagku was freed from the fixed shelves, and the Southern Union soldiers attacked them with all their might, and the transport planes used as bunkers were already riddled with holes from the fire of the particle beam rifles.
It's time to teach these tundras a lesson, Patrick thought.
"The counterattack begins, G41, Noyelu. As he spoke, he unfolded the barrel of his rifle.
"Understand ~ master!"
"Anti, counterattack?!"
Patrick fired two shots at the hatch junction, and the transport plane's hatch was unloaded. After that, he erected the hatch, and fixed the position of his right hand in the center, and the hatch completed the transformation of the shield wall. As he walked out of the transport plane with the hatch in his hand, the particle beams struck the moving bunker, scorching the senseless dents.
Seeing this, the enemy immediately organized men to launch an assault on both sides of the shield wall, but as soon as the charging Southern Union soldiers stepped over both sides of the shield wall, they were beaten to a bloody blur by the stormy bullets.
The G41 was in charge of the left flank and was armed with a standard modified version of the rifle of the same name, which on the surface looked much more mediocre than the previous large-caliber reinforced version, but the speed and rate of fire of the gun were amazing, not so much a burst of fire as a strafing at will, and none of the bullets fired missed, looking like the enemy was ramming the bullets.
Noyelu used two "young mangs" to deal with the enemy attacking from the right, which was originally the standard weapon of the Southern Union army, and the internal components were all replaced with collapsed crystal components, which were several times more powerful than the original. Combined with the reaction speed of the subject of the upper relic, it is almost unbeatable in close combat.
Patrick picked up the Valkyrie grenade launcher with his free left hand, aimed it at an MS-N, and pulled the trigger. Due to the low gravity environment and the special grenade, the grenade fired fell into the cockpit of the mecha almost in a straight line, and the drill bit on the head nailed itself to it, and then detonated, and one of the combat mechs of the Southern Union was scrapped.
The other two MS-Ns quickly began to move, one flying into the air waiting for the particle cluster cannon to recharge, and the other flashed its thermal sword and charged at them.
"Three seconds to disperse. Patrick said, inserting the launcher back into the holster with his left hand, pulling out a steel ball and pressing a button to activate it. As he lifted the shield wall above his head, G41 and Noyeru moved away from the left and right, respectively, and the steel ball was thrown. With a delay of less than a second, the steel ball automatically separates in half, and a red circle lights up in the center. It seemed that nothing had happened, but the surrounding Southern Union soldiers had ceased fire.
The reason is simple, the steel ball released a wave of interference in the corresponding band that affected their combat support systems, making their heads-up display glow white. The soldiers of the Southern Union, who could not see anything, became lambs to the slaughter, and only had their share slaughtered by two young girls.
Immediately after the jamming was successful, Patrick turned to the rushing MS-N and threw the raised door of the transport aircraft over. MS-N wielded his blade and slipped through the wreckage, only to find the lever-mounted grenade launcher closed in the chamber, two bits of light staring directly at him through the visor of his helmet.
The roar of the explosion sent another retreater away, and without the slightest delay, Patrick swapped out an anti-materiel sniper rifle. The cluster cannon eventually chose to lock on to him, and the high-energy beams erupted from the muzzle of the rifle as the bullets were fired. The particle beams collided with the force field shield, canceling each other out, and the bullet pierced through the metal shell of the mech's chest, falling silent.
Despite the killing of the Yugoslav forces, the enemy's encirclement and suppression operations continued, and Patrick and the others did not have time to stop. Braving the fire of the falling particle beams, they jumped aboard a lunar rover and drove the improvised vehicle out of Nagku.
"Where are we going?" asked Noyeru.
"Power station. ”
"What are you doing there?"
"You'd better care about the enemy first. ”
Before Patrick could finish speaking, several lunar rovers flew out and landed on the surface of the moon.
"Why do you have to chase the moon to the moon?" Noyeru cried, "I can't stand it!"
"You want something new?"
The Southern Union fighters took off vertically, then slowly turned around and rapidly approached them. As long as the fighter plane drops missiles over their heads, they are completely finished, and there is no chance to evade them.
"Not at all!"
"Really, then please do me a favor and try not to let the enemy approach. Patrick remained calm.
"Don't let us die!"
Strictly speaking, the lunar rover is actually only equipped with a four-wheeled mount, and its durability and protective performance naturally go without saying. Noyeru and G41 leaned in and shot at the back of the vehicle, trying to pin down the enemy lunar rover.
Patrick took out the launcher with his left hand, loaded it with an ammo, and then lifted it up, diagonally pointing it back into the air. The fighter plane was already very close, and he pulled the trigger and fired the grenade, which seemed to deviate from the target by about two meters. Just as the Southern Union fighter was about to release the missile, the grenade was detonated, and the electromagnetic pulse spread around, causing slight interference to the fighter. The missiles aimed at them made a mistake and crashed into the wall separating the "Luna Arrow". The fighter plane barely crashed after an emergency climb, and Patrick steered the rover to turn to the right, and the tires ran over the broken wall and drove into the "Luna Arrow" enclosed at the base.
The rover drove close to the edge of the silver cauldron, then rushed up the slope of the crater, moving forward along the slope of the inner circle of the crater.
"What's this huge basin? And the ring on the top of your head......"
"It's a weapon called the Luna Arrow," Patrick said, "a particle cluster weapon that can directly destroy a city, and when charged, it can emit rays equivalent to the energy of three nuclear bombs, and the directly irradiated object will evaporate in an instant, and there will be no ash left." ”
"It's a weapon...... Where does such a large supply of energy come from?"
"This lunar fortress, 'Artemis' was built on a ruin, and after the Big Bang that formed the sun subsided, the relict creatures established a long-term living place here in order to continue the race, and the energy reserves will naturally not be short. ”
"Even if it can be successfully launched," Noyeru continued, "but this is the far side of the moon, how can we hit targets on Earth?"
"The answer is above your head," Patrick replied, "and the ring is a giant Collapse Operation Teleporter with which Southern Union can pour devastating particle beams wherever it can be located. ”
"How could it be ......?"
A rain of bullets hit, and Patrick quickly dodged it, dodging a round of shots. The fighter flew overhead, and the fighter did not dare to attack with missiles, considering that it could hit the bracket that supported the collapsed teleporter.
"As early as 2080, Artemis was built," Patrick continued with the topic he had just interrupted, "Originally, it was used by the Antarctic side to explore and study the ruins on the far side of the moon, but after the end of the First Antarctic War, because the development of the ruins was going smoothly and the hostile relationship with Luo Lian did not end, it was temporarily changed to military use. The 'Luna Arrow' was completed the year before last, and the tests during this period were all smooth, and it was ready for actual combat. ”
"But it's not just Luo Lian...... G41 said, "we and even other neutral countries could be attacked, master...... I can't imagine how many people will be killed......"
The rover went around the slopes of the crater, passed through the wall, and returned to the Artemis base. After several rounds of attacks by the fighters, no missiles were used, allowing Patrick and the others to escape.
The vehicle made a sharp turn and drove into an inverted funnel-shaped power plant and stopped.
"Are you ready? We're going to blow it up, raze the entire base, and maybe even the moon. "This is an opportunity to destroy the Luna Arrow, and it won't kill anyone." ”
