121 Battle of the Copper Valley 1
"The Osiris began to slow down, the No. 6, No. 5, and No. 4 engines stopped working, the rest of the engines halved in power, the engines were in normal condition, and the energy reserve module was operating normally. It is expected to enter the commercial port of the Moore Chamber of Commerce in a while. ”
Inside the bridge, Baron Humphrey was standing as a guide next to Captain Shepard's "command bed". Overjoyed: "Rear Admiral, please allow me to make a promise to you on behalf of the Moore Chamber of Commerce that your ship will be best maintained in our commercial port." With only a month of transformation, we can leave the earth, the land of right and wrong, and return to the universe! ”
Captain Shepard also breathed a sigh of relief, hearing that after the death of the North American HER Army in Sasaki Musashi, the officers were fighting for resources and rights. Shepard had been worried that the HER army would intercept the Osiris in order to avenge Sasaki Musashi, but now that he was in Mexico, the high-speed warship was not attacked, and it seemed that the rumors were true.
He relaxed his shoulders and leaned back on the bed, looking up to admire the scenery of Copper Valley on the huge screen. He didn't know how long it had been since he had been so relaxed and admiring the natural scenery. Now that he is old, the Osiris is going back to space, and I wonder if I will have the opportunity to enjoy the scenery of the earth like this in this life.
"Humans are still children of the earth."
Humphrey and the crew didn't hear Shepard's muttering, but they all heard the captain's next words: "There's a situation in the valley to the southeast!" ”
Everyone looked in the direction of Shepard on the screen, and sure enough, they saw several black smoke rising into the sky in the valley on the ground. But the clouds were so thick that Captain Shepard was able to spot the black smoke before anyone else, and the instincts honed by his decades of military service were truly impressive.
"Jessica, zoom in!"
"Yes!"
The area where the black smoke rises is magnified, and although the full picture is not visible due to the interference of the clouds, the situation is already known: a village in a valley has been looted by the army of the new Republic of Gran Colombia (RC), and the village has been set on fire.
"Captain! Settlements in the valley with civilians are being attacked by RC troops! ”
Baron Humphrey saw that Captain Shepard had changed from a relaxed demeanor to a defensive posture, and said, "Don't worry about this kind of thing, let's continue to the commercial port." ”
Hearing Humphrey say this, Jessica glared at him angrily and asked, "What are you?" Do you want us to witness atrocities and act as if nothing had happened, and sit back and watch civilians being humiliated!? ”
Humphrey understated: "Dear ma'am, I understand your feelings. But recklessness and compassion will not help you defeat the HER, knowing that there is no such thing on Earth. When will you be able to end the war? ”
Jessica pointed at Humphrey and almost scolded, "You... You have no conscience! ”
"My conscience is to guide you to the merchant port safely, not to encourage you to grudge against the RC army. Isn't it, Captain Shepard, you don't care about such a thing, do you? ”
Humphrey thought he would get Captain Shepard's approval, but he heard Shepard: "Can't let this happen!" Yamaguchi, immediately let the ship descend to combat height. Jessica, let the standby B team fight off the looting RC army! ”
"Yes!" Jessica replied with a high-minded glance, and glanced at Baron Humphrey triumphantly. Humphrey shook his head helplessly.
The members of Team B, who had received the order in the hangar, were already in their positions and would only need to wait for the Osiris to land at the right altitude before attacking. Captain Jack Sr. reminded everyone: "It is not clear the size of the RC army, maybe just a group of infantry. Now the reconnaissance planes have already taken the first step to reconnoitre, and the number of sorties we will make will be determined depending on the number of enemies. Of course, no matter how many enemies there are, try to push back the other side and don't have a direct conflict! ”
"Understood!" The members of Team B replied in unison.
At this moment, the hangar suddenly became noisy, and the unmanned reconnaissance plane that turned out to be the first to set off was destroyed, judging from the attack, the enemy had humanoid weapons, and now Team B was sure to be dispatched.
Old Jack didn't dare to slack off, and after receiving Jessica's attack order, he put on his helmet and ordered: "Team B, attack!" ”
The Osiris poked its head like a giant whale soaring through the clouds, and its huge shadow instantly covered a large valley.
"Wow, that's a big guy."
Jacques. Wagra was sitting in his cockpit watching the Osiris, and he tossed the can he had eaten, splashing the soup and spilling it into the garbage outlet at the bottom of the cabin. Inside, the garbage is simply processed to remove odors and other things that may reveal the driver's information before being discharged to the outside of the body.
Toyak is so sloppy that the filth in his cockpit is not the first or second in the entire army of the Earth. What's worse is that he has also adapted to this dirty environment, and if his subordinates make it too clean during cleaning, they will be reprimanded by him. Over time, this confined space was hardly a place for people, and his men suspected that Jacques had lost his sense of smell.
In addition to being dirty, his cockpit was filled with all sorts of unnecessary things. Beauty posters are pretty good, but those decorative pendants hanging on the flower board are confusing. These things are wobbly and risk interfering with the driver's combat, and their art style doesn't match the rugged Jacques. If anyone else dared to toss their cockpit like this, they would have been punished a long time ago, but obviously no one dared to criticize Jacques.
The voice of his subordinate Abu came: "Boss, the Osiris has sent out humanoid weapons, a total of five!" ”
"Lao Tzu saw it, continue to carry out the battle!"
Old Jack led his team to a kilometer away from the village where they were attacked, unloaded the parachute and began to move. But after only moving for a moment, he stopped the others: "No, the village in front is in a canyon, and if it is attacked, invaders and evacuees will have to pass through this muddy road under our feet, but you see there are no footprints or ruts here!" To be vigilant, let's go first..."
Before Old Jack finished speaking, he heard a deafening explosion, the location of the explosion was very close, just on the mountain wall next to their team, a "lifeguard" was directly blown off its head, and the rest of the body, including Old Jack himself, was also overturned by this sudden explosion. Old Jack yelled that it was not good, the ambush selection and detonation time of this explosive were very ruthless, it must have been done by a veteran! The way he came had been destroyed, and he wanted to call the team members to quickly run to the opposite direction of the village and retreat, but it was difficult for the team members to get up immediately.
At that moment, a second explosion was heard in front of me, and smoke and dust rushed over the village, blocking the road ahead.
Seeing that the effect of the explosion was good, Abu was excited: "Boss, your plan has succeeded!" Less can trap them for a while! ”
Ya Keyi: "Hehe... The rumors are true, the Osiris does like to meddle! There would be no need for Plan B, and they would certainly not leave their companions on the ground behind. ”
"Boss, let me mend the knife!"
"Yes, but don't go overboard. Just kill a few. ”
"Got it!"
Abu flew out of the forest in his own mech, a very strange RC standard mech. Its torso and armor resemble the shell of an insect, and its head also resembles a praying mantis, hence its name "Flying Mantis". In addition to the shape, the most important feature of this type of aircraft is that it is equipped with propellers that can be folded up on both shoulders, which allows the body to hover in the air.
Old Jack was helping a teammate remove a boulder that was pressing against the mech, when he suddenly heard a noise that only a propeller could make, and the noise made him uneasy. As soon as he looked up, he saw a "flying mantis" appear above his head.
"Not good!!"
Old Jack reacted quickly and raised his shield to protect himself and his teammates. But others were not so lucky. The "Flying Mantis" fired at them mercilessly with a machine gun gun, and did not disappear until a barrage of bullets missed.
"Hey! Feed! Are you all right? Back! O'Neill, Muhammad, Ivan, you hear and reply! Feed! ”
Old Jack shouted the names of the team in a hoarse voice, but no one answered him.
