Chapter 185: K15
The land of the Vein Star is as desolate as ever, and the scorching sunlight is still scorching the entire planet at all times.
In the white sky, a huge oval-shaped cross-section of light suddenly began to spread.
The aperture was pitch black, as if it could swallow everything, and around it, there was a black light. It all seems very contradictory, but it is a real scene.
Then, a long box-shaped object emerged from it, a very simple shaped flying machine, with a cold metallic sheen throughout.
This is the Covenant's Ripper warship, and there are 22 of them.
The black light just now is a physical effect caused by one of the light-speed converters, which will occur once the light-speed transition mode is exited.
"Zoomlion people couldn't have imagined that we would escape here." In the observation room of the pilot ship, Major Dior's face showed a touch of pride, "When the time comes, they will be caught off guard by Colonel Bush and Colonel Bush!" ”
"Yes, yes, the colonel's guerrilla strategy is to be obscene, but I like it!" And beside him, another officer showed a mean expression.
"I'm afraid not!" Behind the two, Colonel Miller shook his head.
"Sir." The two immediately turned around and greeted him.
"The current situation is very serious!" Colonel Miller, however, said nothing, and with some manipulation at the bridge, he called up a series of survey plans.
Miller was clearly lost in thought, and there was an eerie silence in front of the survey bench, surrounded by the whispers of some people from time to time, but not noticeable.
Encountering this situation, the lowly officer couldn't help but be a little impatient, and he looked at Major Dio beside him with an inquiring eye.
Dio only shrugged his shoulders and gave him a helpless look, meaning to wait patiently for the colonel's decision.
"McMillan isn't that easy to fool, not to mention that there are two more fleets, and it's too risky for us to go there."
However, it didn't take long for Colonel Miller to stand in front of the screen and start talking to himself. For this kind of phenomenon, the surrounding officers all have such expressions, which is obviously commonplace.
"Barely counting my fleet, our total strength is now exactly the same as that of Zoomlion. However, this is not how war is calculated, and the fighting quality and sense of group cooperation of the soldiers of the Central Union are terrifyingly strong, and they cannot be confronted with a little conspiracy and trickery. ”
In this way, Colonel Miller must want to adopt a dodge strategy, so that this fleet can temporarily lie dormant on the vein star, and then serve as a surprise army.
Hearing what he said, all the officers couldn't help but understand it in their hearts.
"But~" But at this moment, Colonel Miller suddenly let out a melodious turn, which sounded rather funny, and made people want to laugh out loud.
He turned his body from the big screen, his hands behind his back, and changed from talking to facing all the officers.
"Now all communications have been cut off by the Central Zoomlion, and it is impossible to call for reinforcements. And once Bush and they are packed, it will be our turn next, and with the sweep of the three fleets, we will have nothing to hide.
So we had to get there, to support the other two friendly forces, defensive tactics and surprise attacks, and I think we were able to hold out. ”
Colonel Miller undoubtedly made a very unwise and wrong decision, and if he had known that even Lieutenant General Sheffield was personally in battle, he must have avoided as far as he could.
"Sir, how do we find those two allies?" Major Dio pointed to the screen in front of him and asked, "This planet is so big that there is no reaction on the surveyor at all." ”
The Covenant's K-15 fleet had just exited the Lightspeed Jump mode, and at this moment 22 warships were traversing a desert full of white sand.
The area of this desert is also very large, and even with the high speed of a warship, it will take more than ten minutes to completely cross it.
"Didi" "Didi" However, just as Dior said this, a sudden prompt came from the sensor system, telling them that something was approaching.
As soon as he said that there was no response, there was a special situation, which was simply a slap in the face. However, Major Dior did not complain about any American scolding because of this, on the contrary, he looked at the screen in front of him with curiosity, and his eyes were full of doubts.
What was displayed on the screen were two green dots, and according to the information displayed on the surveyor, these were a mixed 16 and a Wright 5, both of which were mechs of their Star Alliance.
There were no other warships or planes around, so it was obvious that these were two lone mechs.
It's a little strange what this is.
"Send them a communication." Colonel Miller held his chin in his hand and ordered the operator beside him.
He didn't think much about the two mecha that suddenly appeared, and he didn't think about anything else at all. Because their Ripper's surveyor detection function is very powerful and there has never been a problem, these two mechs are undoubtedly friendly forces.
"This is the 15th fleet of Group K, please return if you receive it, please return if you receive it!"
Clear words of beauty rang out, echoing in the cab of the mixed 16 and Wright 5z.
What happened.
The three female Zoomlion drivers were stunned almost at the same time, and they vaguely felt that something seemed to be wrong.
"Anyone? Here is the 15 fleet of Group K, please reply when you receive it, please reply when you receive it! ”
There was no response, so the operator communicated again, and after three or four times, there was still no reply.
Could it be that this is unmanned?
Colonel Miller couldn't help but think in this direction, maybe there were no personnel in these two mechs, but they were only set up to cruise on autopilot before, and they were flying in this desert.
To determine if this idea was correct, Miller ordered the operator to call up the surveyor and prepare to map the inside of both mechs.
However, at this time, the other party replied.
"Roger, we received it!"
There is a response!
The operator was immediately stunned, and he immediately stopped the transfer of the surveyor and spoke into the liaison instead:
"What is your number, what fleet do you belong to, and what is the situation now?"
"We are mecha maintenance personnel, and our numbers and subordinate fleets are not clear." Inside the cockpit of the mixed 16, Taquila pinched her nose in front of the bridge and replied in fluent American language.
She was really responsive.
Of course, the video function of the liaison was turned off by her, and at the same time, Tauquila opened the video of Zhen Wuyu on another device, gesturing her not to speak.
It turned out to be a maintenance worker.
Colonel Miller didn't notice anything about it, for the lie that Taquila had compiled was indeed credible.
