Chapter Forty-Six: The Flying Fish Legion arrives
This ore is very rare, and Zhuge Yao specially collected some of it and kept it in the warehouse. There are many resources on the border, but they are all things that are not available in the empire. If you can build a mine here, there will be a lot of benefits, but it's not time yet.
Through the efforts of everyone, a large area of open space has been successfully cleared. The next day, a large army of airships appeared in the clearing. The fleets are almost all cargo ships, painted with Exocet's logo, and are making landing requests.
The soldiers of the new regiment on the ground came out to watch and check the fleet above. They almost all let out an exclamation, never before had they seen so many airships appear in one place at the same time.
The fleet was suspended in mid-air, just constantly signaling to land, and no other action was taken. Only one of the huge flagships, slowly approaching the outpost in the middle of the lake. The hull of this airship is much larger than the hull of the Apocalypse.
"Dragoon, Dragoon, Flying Fish Fleet call Kidragoon Apocalypse." The communication system on the flagship was successfully connected with the communication system of the Apocalypse. The ship's personnel immediately began to call the Apocalypse, asking for an answer.
"Dragoon received, captain, please speak." Li Feng in the control room of the Apocalypse responded according to the regulations.
"I'm Captain Gray, the first division of the Exocet Legion, the number of troops is three thousand, please prepare the base to receive it." On the ship, a calm voice came, very gently. This person is the Flying Fish Legion's First Division, Chief Commander and Flagship Captain Gray.
"Allow the request." Li Feng personally came to the communication room, responded to the fleet, and gave a standard military salute to General Gray. The next moment, the fleet moved en masse around the mid-lake outpost, each looking for a suitable position.
The recruits in the base also followed the instructions and went to guide the airship. They piloted the mech, emitting trailing rays to make the airship's movements more accurate. With such a large number of troops, it is impossible to station them on the border in a short period of time, and the problem of vigilance is very prominent. The Exocet Legion has long been experienced in these things, so it will send such a large fleet.
The airship not only carried soldiers, but also hundreds of containers, as well as some daily necessities, food, and supplies. These containers are special in that they can be used for occupancy and are fully equipped for living.
The open space was busy, and the atmosphere in the conference room of the base was also tense. General Gray was sitting on the main seat, and Li Feng was sitting opposite, and the two looked at each other. Neither side spoke, and each looked at it with firm eyes.
"Alright, you two, there's still more to it than that." Xia Bing sat between the two, feeling a strange atmosphere, and couldn't help but speak first. One is his top boss, and the other is his childhood playmate, and it's not good to help anyone. Now these two people are making trouble. That's a big problem.
"Commander Lei." Li Feng glanced at Li Lin, there was really no way, so he opened his mouth first.
"I can hand over the control of the base to you and let the Flying Fish take over. But the right to train and attack, I have to keep it, it's not negotiable. Li Feng didn't throw a corner, and said directly and clearly.
When Gray heard this, he immediately put on a smiling face and said softly: "Okay, deal, this is my good brother." ”
Li Feng didn't listen either, and after saying his words, he turned around and left this place.
"Gray." Xia Bing was full of blame, gouged a glance at Gray, and then hurriedly chased after Li Feng.
Along with this fleet, among the cargo that arrived together, there were also several special mechs. Zhuge Yao opened a box, and a Dragonwalker mecha appeared in front of him. He reached out and stroked the mech, feeling the parts, and the depression was gone.
"Coax." In the open space, the first occupant container landed, and under the guiding light, there was no deviation.
"Okay, next, keep it up." The soldier on the ground waved his hand at the airship in mid-air. The pilot of the ship also pressed the signal light, indicating that he had received it. He gripped the joystick tightly, ready to move the airship to the next position.
It was at this time that he discovered a very serious problem, the joystick actually failed. On the ship, another container was smashed down without warning.
"Ah! Finished. The soldier below screamed in surprise and collapsed to the ground in fear. He looked at the container that was rapidly falling towards him, and his eyes were full of fear. The other people around him, who hadn't reacted yet, looked stupidly. If such a big box is smashed on one person, there will definitely be no scum left.
However, what they imagined, did not happen. A dark blue mech, suddenly appearing below, catches the container. From a distance, it looks like an ant, holding up an elephant.
"Whew." Zhuge Yao breathed a sigh of relief, drove the Longyuan mecha, and put the living container in the designated position. Fortunately, his reaction was relatively fast, and the mecha's performance was relatively good, which prevented the tragedy.
"Okay, it's over, let's get on with the rest of the work." Zhuge Yao turned on the communication system and reminded him in the public channel. The soldiers had not yet recovered from the shock they had just had. They heard Zhuge Yao's order and hurried back to their posts.
One by one, the living containers were smoothly placed on the open space, and there were no accidents. The soldiers of the Exocet Legion also disembarked from the ship, carrying large bags and small bags, and looked at this new place with curious eyes.
There were about 3,000 soldiers, and they were assigned to the perimeter, which was a simple wall, and needed to be patrolled. This location is not safe, and there are many potential threats.
In the midst of the chaos, the sky was gradually getting dark, and the soldiers had all tidied up, and their quarters were gathered in groups of three or five to chat. The Mid-Lake outpost was brightly lit and thousands of soldiers joined in, making it a vibrant place.
The original Mid-Lake Outpost has now been renamed the Mid-Lake Advance Base, or as they prefer to call it, the Mid-Lake Fortress.
Most of the soldiers who came here were the Exocet Legion, a small number of warriors and scientific elites. They have a clear purpose, a certain level of ability, and family support. Almost all of them came here to get a military merit.
In a few days, the organizational structure of the fortress in the middle of the lake has appeared. Among the larger groups are the Mechanics Guild and the Border Star Lake Fortress Business Alliance.
So many soldiers lived, food was available, and sanitation was poor. Food on the border cannot be eaten directly, it needs to be processed first. Zhuge Yao looked at these and was so happy, so he didn't come forward and didn't know.
He sent a newsletter to a few comrades-in-arms in the class, informing them of some things. Then I started to inspect the special mecha that was shipped, and I wanted to assemble it quickly.
