Chapter 243: An encounter that has nothing to do with the boy
In fact, when the explosion came, Nangong Rong was already vaguely aware of something, because from Lin Weiyin's previous words, it could be inferred that the little girl should be in the woods next to a certain road not too far from the base at this moment. It is somewhat unlikely that a counteroffensive would be launched in this place, after all, there is only a small village nearby, which is still far from the big city, and it is not difficult to imagine how much energy the soldiers will have left when they reach their destination.
So if there is a battle here, the most likely thing is that the human forces are suddenly attacked by the enemy on the way.
"Is it the ambush and sneak attack of those green-skinned little gnomes?" Nangong Rong heard the explosion on the other side of the screen, not only did not stop, but it intensified one after another, and finally couldn't help but ask, which can be regarded as a reminder to his cheap sister, "Will they also hide in the woods like you, if it is possible to find out the other party while ensuring their own safety, they must not let the locals' counteroffensive plan today die halfway." ”
Since the Alpha Monster had just been killed, all of humanity was celebrating with joy, and if the news broke that the army preparing for a counterattack had been shattered by the enemy's sneak attack, it would not do anyone any good. And more importantly, how exactly did the gnomes learn about the human battle plan, and did their reconnaissance skills become so powerful?
However, Lin Weiyin quickly denied the boy's speculation, and she shook her head very decisively and said, "It's not a sneak attack, it's an encounter." A swarm of flying monsters the size of small planes suddenly emerged from the woods on the other side of the road, seemingly flying low against the canopy and being caught off guard by the human army on the road. Now that the two sides are in a scuffle, I can't just join in. ”
Only in one case will the flying unit fly long distances close to the ground at low altitudes, in order to evade detection in order to attack an important target located deep in the enemy's hinterland. Whereas Trace's father had been killed in such a surprise attack before, the gnomes today seem intent on repeating their old tricks.
Unfortunately, they were unlucky, and they happened to bump into the human troops marching on the road, and they were exposed in an instant.
Outer space still belongs to the locals at this time, and the gnomes haven't been able to make a satellite or anything like that to look down on the whole field, so no matter what kind of detection capabilities those low-flying monsters have, due to the terrain and flight altitude limitations, they have not been able to detect human forces in advance, and it is a matter of course that they will engage in an encounter.
Lin Weiyin had already turned the lens of the communicator to the road not far away, and although there were many trees blocking it, Nangong Rong could still see a lot of burning steel wreckage and the broken corpse of some large creature similar to a bat. The vehicles suspended in mid-air were desperately pouring lasers and particle beams into the air, and the infantry did not dare to leave the transports and only fired back through the firing ports inside, while from time to time some kind of red ball of light rushed down from the air, easily popping the vehicle's electromagnetic shield like a soap bubble, and some bats even swooped down directly on the surface of the vehicle, spraying some kind of acid mist, causing the alloy armor to melt in just a few seconds.
As for the crew inside the vehicle...... The picture is too beautiful, so don't mention it.
Unlike the Imperial Army under Octavier and the federal forces in Lin Weiyin's hometown, the local ground forces equipped with directed energy weapons on a large scale can pose a great threat to low-altitude targets even with individual rifles, so except for traditional missile rocket launchers and self-propelled guns, there is no difference between tanks and air defense vehicles in this world, because the weapons of the tank itself can effectively fight air targets.
It can even shoot down incoming missiles.
Therefore, even if there is a sudden encounter with the enemy's flying troops, this army can quickly launch a counterattack with its ferocious firepower, and not only does not rout, but entangles the opponent, so that they are not able to continue to advance.
However, unlike the usual flying units, the gnome monsters will only become more powerful when they land on the ground. Seeing the ferocity of the opponent's firepower, they came to the ground one after another, completely mixing with the human troops, and the scene was very chaotic.
Faced with this situation, Lin Weiyin couldn't help at all, unless the little girl was equipped with heavy power armor on the ground that was rough-skinned and thick-skinned and not afraid of being injured by dense stray bullets.
Nangong Rong couldn't think of any good ideas about this, so in the end he could only hold his forehead with his hand and sigh helplessly: "No way, you just leave them alone, first go to the air and take a few circles around the vicinity to see if there are any other enemy flying troops." ”
"Okay, I'll get in touch when I find out. ”
After saying that, the little girl cut off the communication.
Octavir, who was standing next to the boy, widened his eyes in surprise, "Why, do you think there is more than one enemy attacker?"
"Since there was an encounter with the ground forces of the locals, it means that the target of the other side must not have been these troops preparing to launch a counteroffensive from the beginning. Otherwise, those monsters could have taken advantage of their unpreparedness to launch a sneak attack from above, and there was no need to fight at all. Nangong Rong turned his head to look at the eldest princess, tilted his head and asked her, "If it weren't for the counter-offensive troops stationed near the airport, then what do you think the enemy's target would be?"
The girl immediately looked out of the window in shock, and the wide open space was reflecting the beautiful glow of the quinta in the red morning sun.
"Well, that's it. Seeing that the eldest princess had already guessed, the young man nodded and continued unhurriedly, "It is natural that the side that deploys the troops to launch an attack will focus on the enemy's main force, but at this time, it will often ignore some inconspicuous places, as long as the enemy is handled properly, it is not impossible to get ahead of the attack before the attack begins. The dwarf monsters are unmanned inside, so they don't need to worry about casualties, and it doesn't matter if you're bold, all that's left is how to sneak up on the airport without the detection of the locals. ”
"Is this the time to talk about this, and hurry up and warn Trist that they're serious!?"
"That's right. ”
Nangong Rong agreed and hurried to the door, but at this moment, the golden retriever cat stopped the two of them on the spot with a word: "To warn them, then what kind of reason do you two plan to use?" We have the phone number of the magical girl who snatched the head of the Kunta yesterday, and just now she sent a contact saying that a large group of flying monsters are surrounding the airport from all directions, and it is estimated that they want to destroy the Kunta, so please prepare for the attack as soon as possible?"
If you really want to do this, it's strange that you don't immediately get invited to tea by the local military!
Glancing at each other with the embarrassed Octavier, Nangong Rong finally couldn't help but raise his hand and grab his scalp: "Then can we just do nothing and watch things happen?"
"For now, yes. The system didn't care about the face of the two of them at all, and said very directly, "Unless the two of you can find a way to fight other than magic, such as awakening telekinesis or something, you can only rely on Lin Weiyin's little girl in the battle." You must know that if you can exert your strength normally, at this time, you only need to excuse yourself to go out for a walk and then [stop near the Kunta to admire its majestic posture], so that when the monster attacks, you will naturally have 10,000 good reasons to [happen] to defend nearby. ”
It seems that the big guys in the alliance who like to keep a low profile and pretend to be pigs and eat tigers have done this before, huh.
"Don't say it's impossible, it just makes me feel more irritated. Octavir pinched the bridge of her nose and sighed helplessly, "And is it so easy to awaken telekinesis, there are not many locals who have the ability to fight, let alone us as outsiders?"
"So, you'd better not do anything at the moment, just watch from the sidelines. The golden retriever cat took the initiative to spread his hands on the screen, putting on a helpless look, "Of course, you can try to let Lin Weiyin capture a monster alive and then get in close contact with each other for a period of time, doesn't it mean that the number of people awakened by the locals suddenly increased dramatically after the appearance of the monster army of the little green-skinned gnomes, maybe there is some connection between the two?"
Even if there is a connection, the boy and the eldest princess alone can't figure out the reason, and they have to bring Mira and Matthias over, and these two need their own assistants, equipment, and guards, and the stall will definitely get bigger and bigger, and it will be impossible to keep a low profile.
However, it always feels a little reckless to casually contact monsters to try to awaken before confirming whether the awakening of telekinesis is harmless to outsiders - although it is not necessarily possible to come up and awaken directly after winning the jackpot.
Nangong Rong shook his head and threw all the chaotic associations in his heart out of the clouds, and then changed the topic and said very seriously: "It doesn't matter how the telekinesis is, even if the locals can repel the enemy's surprise attack this time and protect the Kunta from any damage, as long as they don't figure out why that group of gnomes know the reason why the Kunta is here, they will definitely encounter the same situation next time, and it is not a good thing to continue to be beaten like this." ”
Yesterday, when the robot scorpion returned to the airport, the military dispatched troops to stop all the reporters who were following the report, the people chasing and watching the excitement, and so on, and did not reveal the specific location of the airport, so it was impossible for the enemy to learn any useful information through television or Internet signals.
But now it seems that the other party still knows the location of the Kunta, and the method of not knowing what is is still very tried. Nangong Rong suspects that the gnomes are positioned through the new energy used by the locals, and they themselves have similar speculations, but they have never been able to confirm - after all, you can't abandon the new energy, right? That thing is not only used in weapons, but also in life, and it is already the lifeblood of the locals today.
The blonde Lori on the screen was unexpectedly silent for a long time, and then suggested in an uncertain tone: "Maybe we can try to let the locals show us what that new energy is, and it has attracted invaders from another world?"
"Well, if that's going to happen, I'd rather knock on the door next door right now and warn Trist and Bigar to get ready to attack. ”
Just kidding, it's okay to use the electricity provided by a nuclear power plant as a civilian, and no one would agree to let you take the core unit apart and see how it's constructed, right?
The golden retriever scratched his cheek with his index finger in embarrassment, and was about to sell a cute trick to get by, but the alarm suddenly sounded in the entire base, and there was a sudden burst of chickens and dogs in the corridor outside. There is no need to ask, it must be that the troops caught in the encounter finally have a chance to contact the base, and there is no need to let Nangong Rong and them go to warn.
Shrugging at Octavir next to her, Nangong Rong quickly rushed to the door and opened it, poking her head out just in time to see Trist who was already standing in the hallway, and Bigar was behind her in charge of closing the door.
Although he already knew what was going on, the young man had to pretend not to know at this moment, looked at the double ponytail with an unusually standard and impeccable expression, and asked, "Miss, what's going on with this siren?"
"You stay in the room with your sister-in-law, don't run around, we'll take care of it. Apparently the military has equipped Trist with a special communication tool, and now the double ponytail clearly knows what is going on, "It's just three or two flies, and they will be shot down soon, and then we will go to breakfast together?"
"As long as you're talking about breakfast isn't a lot of snacks or snacks, I don't think you mind. ”
As if recalling the horror of being dominated by all kinds of (in the eyes of the eldest lady) at dinner yesterday, Dressett's pretty face instantly turned pitch black, and the whole person shook twice as if she had collapsed and was about to collapse to the ground, but fortunately Bigal was quick to hold her in time.
"Miss, those experts are still counting on you to evaluate their modifications for the Kunta, you can't be defeated by a mere breakfast. ”
Defeated by breakfast...... Are you sure you're saying that the food is not to the lady's taste and not that you have food poisoning?
Trist's last limp movement was pretend, she didn't have a penchant for sitting on the ground without an image, and immediately stood up after being held by the deacon: "Uh, ahem." Anyway, since it's forced by the situation, there's no way.,Even if the food is bad.,Miss Ben should be experiencing the life of ordinary people.。 So Bigal, it just so happens that this time the weapons are all for miscellaneous soldiers, so you can completely let go and call me to test the performance. ”
"Yes, my eldest lady. ”
