Chapter 22: Attacked!

"It's an earthquake !!"

"Boom ————!!!"

At this time, in the city of Sunderland, the people who were sleeping were awakened by the shock!

"What happened?"

"Earthquake! It's an earthquake! ”

"Hide!"

"Quick! Hide under the bed! ”

The city is in chaos!

147 Infantry Regiment Station, regimental command room.

"Let the first and third battalions go to the city to organize evacuation and rescue! The second battalion sent an engineer company to reinforce the base's fortifications! Anti-tank company, get your weapons ready! Others are ready to fight! ”

"Yes!"

The commander of the 147th Infantry Regiment rubbed his eyebrows: "There was an earthquake!" I don't know if it's the synthetic beast that came out of the ground in the mouth of the headquarters is playing tricks. ”

Thinking of this, he groaned for a moment and said to his adjutant, "Call Corporal Angel Scarlett!" ”

"Yes..............."

"No, you don't! I've arrived! ”

The girl pushed the door open.

"Corporal Angel Scarlett reports to you!"

looked at the young girl in the military uniform who stood upright and saluted; His Excellency the Captain smiled with satisfaction.

"Excellent! Corporal Scarlett, I would like you to confirm the cause of this earthquake! ”

"Yes!"

"According to the judgment of the lower officials, this earthquake is indeed the work of the Earth Demon Beast!"

"How so?"

"The scope of the earthquake was small! The shockwave is limited! Normal natural earthquakes are based on the movement of the earth's crust, and rapid vibration releases energy! When an earthquake occurs, it will produce strong earthquakes and shock waves, but when the Earth Demon Beast appears, its huge body pushes out of the ground to cause falling, collapse, and ground collapse is the main reason for the formation of earthquakes, so the magnitude is very small and cannot be compared with natural earthquakes! ”

"Is this the Command's statement or your personal opinion?"

"I don't think it's important, sir!"

"Hehe......" Having said that, the captain was looking at An Jie at this time, but he was more and more satisfied.

"In your opinion, where will the Earth Demon Beast 'land' from?"

"It's easy!"

An Jie, who had automatically entered military mode, took out a fountain pen from the pocket of her military uniform, which had been specially changed to a smaller size.

"As long as you can tell where the amplitude is stronger, you can deduce the source of the earthquake in reverse! When I came, I found that the amplitude of the earthquake was smaller the closer it was to the regimental headquarters, so I could be sure that the "landing" location of the Earth Demon Beast must be in the opposite direction of the military base! Coupled with the "stance" of the Earth Demon Beast itself as an enemy weapon, therefore, I reasoned that ————"

The marker drew several points in succession on the map, and finally drew a circle in the industrial area on the outskirts of Sunderland.

"The enemy will 'land' here!"

Looking at the girl's confident face, the captain sighed in his heart.

(Next year is so young, but she can make a reasonable judgment on the war so calmly, I really don't know how far she will grow in the future!) )

"Adjutant!"

"In!"

"Inform the whole army and march to the industrial area of Sunderland! The enemy is there, and you can't let it go a step forward! ”

"Yes!"

"Wait a minute!"

The captain and adjutant looked at the girl who spoke: "Do you have any questions?" Corporal Scarlett? ”

"That's right." An Jie said: "Before I came, I saw soldiers going to the city, so I guess they were going to carry out rescue work. ”

"That's right." The captain nodded.

"Please let them carry weapons and be ready for battle! Although the movement of the Earth Demon Beast when it "landed" was large, the area of influence was about a kilometer at most, and judging from the voices of the citizens, I suspect that there was also a Earth Demon Beast in the administrative area opposite the industrial area! ”

The captain was shocked!

"There is such a thing!"

The girl said solemnly: "It's just that there is this possibility, after all, there are not a few citizens who see other people flustering and panicking themselves!" ”

"But!"

The girl holds her chest up and looks up! The straight military uniform is stretched out in a heroic arc!

"Nip in the bud all events that endanger the Motherland! It is the unshirkable responsibility of our soldiers! Corporal Angel Scarlett has applied to participate in this Earth Demon Beast Raid, please ask the captain for approval! ”

Shock! At this moment, the heart of His Excellency the commander of the 147th Infantry Regiment was full of shock!

What a strong sense of responsibility! In contrast, he who only thinks about suppressing disasters is simply not worthy of being called a soldier!

What is a military man? What is the Army?

The army is violent! Soldiers are abusers!

Rather than protecting citizens who are just a false alarm, it is our job to annihilate the danger that may actually endanger the motherland!

"Corporal Angel Scarlett! I've approved your request to join the war! His Excellency the Captain, who looked so moved, almost roared: "Let's work together!" a hammer of violence against the enemies of the Fatherland!! For the glory of the Empire!! ”

"Huh? Yes! Be!!! ”

An Jie, who was taken aback by the captain's sudden outburst of enthusiasm, hurriedly stood up and saluted.

"A hammer of violence against the enemies of the Fatherland! It's all for the glory of the Empire!! ”

Although I don't know why, the shouting must definitely be imposing!! The more ferocious, the better!! An Jie, who had already figured out the temper of the imperial officer, also said this sentence with a roar!

(This guy can't be a war maniac, right?) )

(What a natural soldier who loves the army!! )

The captain, who had a little misunderstanding of each other, quickly reached a consensus with An Jie!

"Corporal Scarlett! You rush with the large force of the 2nd Battalion to the industrial zone, where there are still people working in the industrial zone in three shifts! ”

The captain shook An Jie's hand and said solemnly: "The workers inside please leave it to you!" But remember! Everything is based on the highest standard of life safety! You are the precious magic non-commissioned officer of the Empire, and you can't die in such a place! ”

This sentence made An Jie burst into tears!

O conscience! With this sentence, she can run away openly after seeing that the situation is not good!

"Yes!! The subordinate must live up to his mission!! ”

"Hmmm! Since this is the case, I will lead the regimental headquarters and the 1st and 3rd battalions that have entered the city to the administrative district to check the situation and maintain order by the way! Adjutant, get a few extra spare weapons with your team before you go! ”

"Yes!"

The adjutant turned around and left the office to carry out the captain's orders.

However, His Excellency the Captain suddenly asked An Jie, who was about to walk out, "Corporal Scarlett, I have a question for you." ”

An Jie was stunned for a moment.

"Please, Captain."

"Have you ever killed someone?"

“………… No. ”

"Have you ever seen a dead man?"

“………… I've seen it. ”

The girl looked up and looked the captain in the eye.

"When I was around three or four, the social unrest caused by the defeat of the Ascent campaign intensified, and every day I could see people freezing to death and starving to death on the streets."

"Yes............"

The captain sighed.

"It's hard for a soldier who hasn't seen death to survive on the battlefield! Now it seems that I am overly concerned. Corporal Angel Scarlett, I'm sorry for doubting your abilities! ”

"You've been too modest, Captain! It is an honor to have the attention of the captain! ”

"Thanks, in that case."

Lifting the rifle and command knife that had been placed by his side, His Excellency the Commander of the 147th Infantry Regiment said in a deep voice:

"Let's go!"
