Chapter 7: The Counterattack on Gran Island (Part I)
Wisps of white clouds floated in the purple canopy, and the red lantern-like sun suspended in the center of the canopy to glow warmly.
The vast sea was calm and empty, except for a land and water warship that glowed purple in the sun, cleaving the waves and sailing alone.
Kapok glanced at the locator in front of him and turned around and said, "At the current speed, we will arrive at Gran Island in two hours." Big cousin Yagu, I remember that there was a pear fruit forest in front of your house, is it still there? ”
"It will be there until the Undersea people take Gran Island, unless the Undersea people cut down the fruit forest." Agu replied.
"There are no special circumstances, the people of the sea, to be precise, the people of the sea and the land, do not cut down the fruit forest, because they prefer to live in the shade more than we do." Upper Forest Road.
"Shanglin, if that fruit forest is still there, our chariot will not be able to enter the fruit forest, and when we get to Gran Island, we can only drive the chariot outside the fruit forest, if the sea and land people are hiding in the fruit forest, how can we save your uncle?" Kapok asked.
Kabayashi seemed to have thought about this problem, and he replied without hesitation: "When the time comes, you will stay in the chariot and be ready to deal with the attack of the sea and land people from the sea, and my eldest cousin and these three soldier brothers will get out of the car to save my uncle and them. ”
Yagu immediately expressed his resolute opposition: "No, cousin, you and Kapok will stay in the chariot, and the four of us will go to save people." Unless you use your chariot to knock down a few trees and then drive in, it is too dangerous to enter the orchard to save people, and the weapons of the sea and land people must be more powerful than our powder guns. ”
"The way to bring down the fruit grove won't work!" Kabayashi said, "The fruit trees are next to your house, and if those fruit trees are still there, they must be all towering trees, and even if all the fruit trees are destroyed, the people of the sea and land can hide in the house and shoot at us, but they can't also destroy your palace." ”
Kabayashi looked at Yagu and said, a smile on his face, indicating that he was not anxious about the upcoming rescue operation.
But Kabayashi's smile didn't ease the tension of Yaya and the three fighters in the slightest.
Yagu looked at Kabayashi with a serious face and said, "No matter what, you and Kapok must stay in the chariot, and you must not endanger your safety because of saving my father and queen mother, you two are the hope of our steppe people to defeat the people of the seabed."
Shanglin, I think so, when we arrive at Grand Island, if we find that the fruit forest is still there, we will drive the chariot outside the fruit forest to observe the movement of the sea and land people, today is a sunny day and noon, the situation in the fruit forest can be seen at a glance. If we find that there are ambushes in the fruit grove and in the house, we will give up the rescue operation. If we hadn't found an ambush on land and sea, the four of us would have rushed to my house to save people.
In the unlikely event that the operation fails, such as if we were killed by the land and sea people, you and Kapok immediately give up the rescue operation and drive back to the savannah, and wait for you to build more of these chariots to counterattack Gran Island. ”
Seeing that Shanglin didn't say anything for a while, Yagu straightened his face and said: "Shanglin, when you arrive at Grand Island, you have entered the battlefield, I am your eldest cousin and the front-line commander appointed by your father, and now you have not been appointed by your father to any official position, so you must obey my orders!"
If you are not willing to obey my orders, let us return to the prairie now, and decide what to do when we see your father and queen mother, and I will absolutely obey my uncle's orders." What's more, my father and queen mother's life and death are unknown now, and I don't think my uncle will let you and Kapok Zi risk their lives to save people who don't know whether they are alive or dead. ”
Kapok turned around and said, "Shanglin, listen to the big cousin of Yagu." When we arrived at Gran Island, if we found that there were heavy ambushes on land and sea, we could only give up saving people, and treat this operation as if this operation was a military exercise for us. If all the people of the sea and land are sleeping in the water at this time, or there are few guards, then we will make a surprise attack to rescue your uncle and aunt. ”
Yagu added: "Kapok, no matter how you save people, you and Kabayashi must stay in the chariot, and the four of us will go out to operate!" ”
"Okay, I'll listen to my eldest cousin's orders!" Kapok said with a smile, "However, unless we are lucky enough to encounter all the sea and land people on Gran Island hiding in the sea and sleeping, otherwise, your weapons and equipment have no chance of winning one-on-one with the sea and land people, and you must change to more advanced weapons to act, otherwise there will be no return." ”
Yagu heard Kapok's voiceover, he stared at Kapok with two big eyes and said, "Kapok, do you have any other secret weapons besides this unbreakable chariot?" ”
Kapok Zi and Kamiabhishi looked at each other and smiled, Kapok Zi smiled: "Big cousin, there is no secret weapon, do Shanglin and I dare to let you, the front-line commander and the three soldier brothers, leave the protection of the chariot and enter the territory controlled by the sea and land people?" ”
Hearing this, Yagu and the three warriors beside him changed their faces drastically, and their nervous expressions turned to surprise.
Yaya said eagerly, "Kamibayashi, quickly show us your secret weapon!" ”
Kabayashi looked at the four of Yagu and smiled: "Don't expect too much first, the secret weapons that Kapok said are nothing more than body armor and laser pistols." The body armor was found in the antique shop in Russ Star, because this thing is not easy to find and the volume is large, so we only brought back ten sets, and the laser pistols were assembled by ourselves, and we brought back a total of a hundred, which can arm a guard company. However, there is one thing that is really a high-tech product of the developed world outside the world, and that is the helmet ......"
Between the open world, the land and water warship is like a lone traveler in a hurry.
Because the journey was uneventful, and after a period of nervousness and then excitement, Yagu and his three warriors sat in the carriage and fell asleep.
By this time, the four of them were already wearing body armor, and each had a laser pistol stuck in their waists. Because of the small size, the body armor wore on them as if they were wrapped in a layer of tights, and their military jackets were still worn over the body armor. So they look the same as they were.
For fighters who are already good at gunpowder gun shooting, laser pistol can master all the essentials of shooting with just a few minutes of instructor.
Kamibayashi warned them that body armor could only withstand medium-intensity bullet strikes, and the purpose was mainly to protect human internal organs from fatal injuries, and it was still difficult to save lives from high-intensity close-range bullets or artillery shells. The effective strike range of the laser pistol is within a hundred meters, and the energy in the pistol can be fired up to fifty times, and then the same energy needs to be replenished in the tank before it can be used again.
However, after the four of Yagu put on the body armor, they suddenly felt that a layer of solid armor had grown on their bodies, and wearing a small and delicate laser pistol that could shoot continuously, which made them feel that they were already invincible gods of war, and the nervousness of being about to go to the battlefield to fight to the death with the sea and land people had disappeared.
Kabayashi explained to them how to use the helmet, which not only has the function of protecting the head, but also is equipped with a camera and communication device, which can be connected to the communication system in the combat vehicle at a distance of 20 kilometers.
The person sitting in the chariot can see the situation on the battlefield in real time through the helmet worn by the front-line soldier and give instructions to the person wearing the helmet. The helmet also has night vision, which allows the wearer to see scenes in the dark that are invisible to ordinary people.
The chariot sailed all the way without encountering any unusual conditions, and perhaps at this moment, all the sea and land people hid at the bottom of the sea and went to sleep.
Kabayashi and Kapok sat at the front of the chariot, looking at the monotonous, empty and unchanging scene in front of them, and gradually feeling sleepy, but they tried not to let themselves fall asleep.
Kapok muttered: "Sleepy, are all the damned sea and land people dead?" It's better to fight a battle than to be so boring. ”
"Why don't I take you to sleep for a while?" Kamibayashi said.
Kapok glanced at the locator and said: "No, it will take half an hour to reach the front island outside Gran Island, I think there will be no accidents before this, it is better for us to sleep for a while and let the chariot drive automatically, and the autopilot system will alarm when approaching the island." ”
"Okay, let's recuperate first, I haven't had a good rest in the past two days." Kamibayashi said.
The "Ding ......" alarm bell woke up all the sleeping people in the car.
Yagu stood up for the first time and exclaimed: "Kapok, what's wrong?" ”
Kapok turned off the alarm system unhurriedly and said, "It's okay! Just a reminder that we are about to arrive at the front island of Koh Gran. ”
Yaya sat down reassuringly, and he and the three soldiers all straightened their equipment, and when the rescue operation was about to begin, they looked at the window at the front of the car.
A dark shadow of an island appeared between the sea and the sky, and as the warship sailed quickly into the sky, the image of the island gradually zoomed in, and after a few minutes the full outline of the island was clearly discernible.
"Hmmm! When did those reefs emerge on both sides of the front island? Yagu stood up again and pointed to the window.
"Slow down!" Kamibayashi said to Kapok that although he hadn't seen the reef that his eldest cousin was referring to, this was the first anomaly that had appeared today, so it was better to be careful.
Kapok immediately started the deceleration procedure, and at this time, everyone could see that there were two gray reefs that seemed to be outcrops on each side of the island, dozens of meters apart.
At this time, the locator showed that the vehicle was only about five kilometers from the front of the island.
"Big cousin, have you ever seen those reefs before?" Kamibayashi asked.
"No, could it be a ghost ship lurking in the water by sea and land?" Yagu said nervously.
"Let's take a closer look!" Kabayashi said as he activated the vehicle's observation system.
The image of a gray object was quickly zoomed in in the window, and even if it was zoomed in, a closer look inside the car revealed that it still looked like a reef with a newly surfaced top, and there was no sign of movement, and the waves on the surface of the sea were hitting the reef with the wind.
"They should all be reefs that have recently surfaced!" Yaya relaxed, sat back in his seat, and immediately noticed that something was wrong, "But how are they arranged..."
Yaya's words were interrupted by another alarm in the car.
Kapok shouted: "Uebayashi, underwater attack alarm!" Four torpedoes in different directions!" Kapok suddenly turned the steering wheel after shouting, and the chariot made a sharp turn and then accelerated.
The four people sitting at the back of the carriage were thrown out of their seats by a strong centrifugal force, but they were all well-trained fighters and grabbed their seats moments before they fell to the ground.
