Although the Holy Brotherhood sent a lot of guards to protect the Elders, hundreds of battle-hardened armed mercenaries, as well as elite private troops trained by themselves, and some equipment that looked unremarkable but had been improved by the Sijing people's technology, allowed this security team to confront attackers several times their size.

But it's a pity that they are in country Y, one of the P5, and they haven't found out that their whereabouts have been exposed.

Although they did not notify GDI of the operation from the beginning - in addition to the fact that country Y wants to get all the credit, there are also operations that even if they fail, outsiders will not know about them, but SAS still brought all the advanced equipment that country Y had purchased from GDI before, and even prepared an armored unit, which was transferred to the suburbs of Edinburgh to stand by in the name of training.

The ensuing assault went smoothly, with some or no calculations, and the SAS annihilated most of the guards, prevented the elder from escaping, and finally managed to take control of the medical pod containing the target.

It's just that the subsequent direct attack of the Sijing people on the capitals of the four countries has made the news of this success lose its greatest effect before it can reach London - if it can be advanced a little earlier, maybe the people of country Y will be able to get the relevant information from the mouth of the member of the elder group that the Sijing people are preparing to attack country Y - by the time the attack of the Sijing people is completed, the intelligence agency of country Y has lost too many high-level officials who know about it.

And after completing the mission, the SAS troops are also quite at a loss in the face of the situation of almost total annihilation at the top of the country, and they don't know what to do now. This has continued until now, after the formation of the wartime provisional government of country Y and the gradual recovery of the chaotic domestic situation, the SAS that carried out the arrest mission can be regarded as having a high-level who can deal with the thorny target.

After learning that their predecessors had left themselves such a big credit before they hung up, those Provisional Government officials who were suffering from the headache of the Sijing people's constant assault on London's outer defense line suddenly had a good idea, that is, to hand over the high-ranking members of the Elder Body directly to others, such as to an international organization like GDI, in exchange for more military aid.

Of course, they can also choose to hand over people to country M in exchange for the same assistance, but because country M seems to be at the point of being fully invaded by the Sijing people, the people of country Y finally chose to hand over people to the GDI, a military organization under the United Nations, in exchange for the GDI troops to reinforce country Y as soon as possible.

It's just that, in the current environment of country Y, the secrecy of information is the same as if there is none, and if they notify the GDI, it means that other countries also know about it, and the people of country M even ask country Y to hand over the person to them before the GDI has not responded. Fortunately, the people of country Y did not make a fool this time, but decided to hand over the people to the GDI side quite persistently, instead of always wavering like their predecessors - of course, this may also be because they have been driven crazy by the Sijing people, and have completely sobered up, and now it is no longer the time for them to be willful at will, and without outside support, they can't last long on their own.

It's just that the current situation in country Y is really bad, and they can't send more people for such an important transfer of prisoners, so they can only order the original SAS team to escort the prisoners to the transfer site with the cooperation of the local police.

Although GDI can also go directly to Edinburgh to take people away, the people of Country Y choose to transfer the prisoners to another place. However, on the way to Manchester, where the prisoners were to be moved, the convoy was attacked. Although the accompanying SAS successfully repelled the attackers with strong combat effectiveness and killed several times the number of escorts, it also suffered a large number of casualties of its own, and the accompanying Edinburgh Police Force was almost completely wiped out.

Moreover, in the attack, those attackers used a lot of heavy firepower, and they did not care about whether they would accidentally injure the high-ranking elder, and after proving that if the other party could not save people, they would also kill them, and the SAS, who understood that the Holy Brother would definitely launch a second attack, could only ask for reinforcements from their superiors, and with their current combat strength, there was no guarantee that they could bring the prisoners to the target location safely.

Knowing this terrible situation, the interim government of country Y had to ask the Manchester police to send personnel to pick up the escort team that was trapped on the road - because of the bad fighting situation in London, the interim government could not draw troops from the army to reinforce the escort team, and even the armored force that SAS had transferred to assist in the capture operation had already been transferred to London by the provisional government - on the other hand, it sent an application to GDI, hoping that GDI would also send personnel to respond, if it could, GDI could even meet the prisoners at the same time, Take him away.

The people of Country Y can no longer afford to be arrogant, and they can no longer care about the fact that they have been stripped clean by the Sijing people a long time ago.

This is also why Liu Yan and his entourage, who originally planned to take the shuttle back to the headquarters, changed their plans temporarily. The original plan was to pick them up from country Y, and after delivering a batch of weapons and ammunition to the Y army on the ground, it would fly directly to the current location of the escort convoy, and then directly transport people into space, and the DI side would interrogate the high-ranking elder in the unfinished space fortress.

Therefore, Liu Yan's infantry company not only had to wait for the next shuttle to pick them up, but also sent another team of soldiers to take the shuttle to escort the convoy and assist in the escort mission. Although why didn't the orbital fleet directly send shuttles to the pick-up point to transfer prisoners, after all, there are still clone marines on the main ships of the orbital fleet, and they will not lose to the ground forces in terms of combat effectiveness.

However, Liu Yan, who has certain privileges, does not intend to dwell on this kind of thing, the above will arrange it like this, there are always their reasons, for him personally, as long as he does not go to meet with the PLA Expeditionary Force, other work is not a problem.

Considering that although the clone soldiers reacted faster than natural people, they were sometimes very slow to deal with some special situations, so after Liu Yan asked other officers to direct tanks and armored vehicles to go to the destination by land, he and Lieutenant Cody led the 100 clone soldiers who were transferred to the shuttle plane and flew directly to the transfer site to control the people first.

The GDI orbital fleet did not fully control all the space orbits of the earth, otherwise the Sijing people would not be able to easily parachute into the capitals of the four countries, so after receiving people, the shuttle would not be evacuated immediately, but would wait until another fleet sent by the GDI command arrived in the sky, and then take the shuttle to leave the ground, go to space, and send people to the space fortress under the escort of the fleet.

All this is to prevent the Sijing people from snatching and destroying their mouths, and as for the people of the Holy Brotherhood, he is not worried about what the other party can do in front of the clone forces.

The speed of the space shuttle was so fast that even if it could not fly at its top speed in the atmosphere, it took them less than ten minutes to fly a straight-line distance of nearly 400 kilometers from their take-off to the contact point.

There was no need for Liu Yan to open the hatch of the shuttle, and through the porthole, he saw the continuous explosion of fire on the ground and dozens of columns of black smoke. Before they arrived, the Holy Brotherhood had once again launched a rescue/extermination operation. The black plumes of smoke were caused by the burning of various types of vehicles destroyed in the crossfire – not only police cars and armored vehicles transporting troops, but also civilian vehicles that had their fuel tanks blown out during the fighting.

Fortunately, Liu Yan also saw the muzzle flames that were still flashing everywhere on the ground below, those people of Country Y had not been defeated by the Holy Brotherhood, and they were still resisting with all their might, and the people of the Holy Brotherhood had not been able to snatch or destroy people, they still had time.

In order not to be attacked by ground anti-aircraft fire, these shuttles painted with clear GDI logos did not choose to land in the center of the battlefield or nearby, but landed farther away from the battlefield, while two of the several aerospace fighters escorting the escort broke away from the fleet and began to strafe the non-own armed personnel marked by the identification system of friend or foe.

The air and space did not dare to use air-launched missiles at will, in addition to the fact that the people of country Y chose a small town with civilian life at the receiving point, rather than a wilderness - although it is easier to be approached here, it is also easier for reinforcements to find the location accurately - and because the attackers are too close to the escort convoy, the explosion of powerful air-launched weapons will easily affect friendly forces, and although large-caliber cannons will also have the chance of accidental injury, this time is already the best air support firepower.

The optical observation equipment, which is more advanced than that of other countries, has found a large number of Sijing people's combat weapons from the flames and smoke, and this attack is not only the participation of the Holy Brotherhood, and the Sijing people should also know about it.

Can't let people be rescued or killed by them, Liu Yan clearly understands the importance of this matter, if he can clear the Holy Brotherhood, an organization that has been hidden in the human world for many years, even if it is only to severely damage them, so that they can no longer provide more help to the Sijing people, then the difficulty of defeating the Sijing people will be reduced by nearly half.

This is no longer a tactical consideration, the importance has been elevated to a strategic position. Without the existence of the Holy Brotherhood, an organization that knows the human world, without them constantly providing targeted attack plans for the Sijing people, and without them constantly providing internal human intelligence, this war would have been completely possible for the human race to level the Sijing people head-on - after all, the population gap between the two sides is there, and there is GDI to level it technologically, it is not impossible for the human race to defeat the Sijing people whose population and those servants do not exceed 100,000.

Perhaps due to the previous fighting, the townspeople are no longer visible to the townspeople, and the entire town is now only SAS and some of the Y State SWAT, entrenched around a stone church in the town to engage the incoming enemy.

Looking at them like that, it seems that the situation is already precarious, and it is impossible to hold on.
