"Stealth Assault"

April 30, 15:24:17

Captain "Iceman" Raikkonen (ace driver)

Liuyi Mecha Squad

Underground, 2.4 kilometers away from the Covenant base

===============

Sheffield: Take your mech squad and storm in from here, and now the action begins.

"Tick" "Tick" In the dim underground veins, the green acidic liquid slowly dripped onto the ground, slowly filling the small pit that was about to be filled with acid.

There was silence here, with only a slight "hissing" echoing throughout the cave.

"Click" "Click" More than a dozen sickle monsters are distributed in different positions on the same cave surface, they raise their claws, lie on top of the gibbs energy crystals, and sometimes use their claws to cut these energy crystals, and suck the fragments into their mouths.

These bloodthirsty alien monsters are apparently eating, and they are rather leisurely sucking energy crystals into their bodies.

And at this time, the tunnel, which was originally very quiet, shook slightly. The shock was not very strong, but it still had the shaking of a magnitude 3 earthquake, and it was accompanied by a low roar.

A ripple rippled on the green acid of the "buzzing" ground, causing the shadow of the Scythe Monster to shatter completely.

It seems that something is moving forward in this tunnel.

Several scythe monsters raised their heads slightly, their sharp claws pressed against the energy crystals, and the scarlet blood-colored beast pupils stared ahead, trying to see what it was.

An afterimage flashed, and then only a "poof" sound could be heard, and the sounds almost coincided. At the same time, a scene of flesh and blood immediately unfolded, within this gloomy underground vein.

The dozen or so sickle monsters were completely crushed and impacted into meat sauce in just an instant.

And if Ike is here and uses dynamic vision to observe and analyze, he can see what that afterimage is.

It was a gray humanoid weapon, covered with blades and barbs that shone with cold light, and there were two black holes on the shoulders.

Wujin Tai-18, Zoomlion's third-generation melee ace-level mecha, carries a lot of melee ramming metal blades around it, and is equipped with two giant beam swords (one spare). In addition, in order to compensate for the lack of long-range attack firepower, two condensate plasma pulse cannons are specially installed on both shoulders.

The combat performance of the Tai-18 is comparable to that of the Balrog Firedemon IA2, although the Firedemon is a long-range fire-controlled type.

And in the internal cab of this TAI-18 mecha, a young man with dark yellow hair is sitting in front of the bridge with a calm face, and he is driving this mecha.

Ace pilot Raikkonen, codenamed "Iceman", a Finn, with the rank of captain, was ordered to command several mech squads on a mission.

"Hey, Captain, we're going to have to slow down, because we're not far from the Covenant base."

There was a notification from the contact, which was a message from the mecha in charge of surveying at the front.

"Roger, now everyone is slowing down." Raikkonen still had a calm look on his face, and he gave orders to all the mech members.

The afterimage slowed down, and eventually turned into a substance, and all the phantoms emerged.

Behind the Wujin Tai-18 mecha, there are 8 mechs of the same appearance, these mechs are all black, and the headless design makes their shoulders exceed the height of the cockpit, which is a special short-range combat mecha made by Zoomlion.

"How far is it from the diffusion range of the energy shield." Raikkonen pondered for a moment, then asked into the liaison.

Due to the interference of energy crystals, the surveyor is not very sensitive, so it needs a special survey mecha.

"Wait a minute, Captain...... Well, it's still 0.64 km away from the Covenant's shield. ”

"Everyone's attention......" After hearing the news of this announcement, Raikkonen paused slightly, and then issued an order to everyone, "Turn on the jamming module to the maximum and prepare to break into the protective shield!" Be sure to keep the action small and stay vigilant! ”

"Understood!" A neat response rang out in the communication channel, and at the same time, Raikkonen's eyes were fixed on the screen in front of him, and his hands quickly turned into countless afterimages.

Tai-18's speed suddenly dropped to the lowest level, so that even a bicycle could catch up, and at this time, the waist of this ace-level mecha suddenly stretched out a ray of light in the hidden place of those barbs.

This is the shroud jammer, which temporarily reveals a notch somewhere in the energy shroud. However, due to the size of the battleship, it was impossible to pass through the energy shield of the Star Alliance through this technological means, so it had to send small combat units like mechs to cooperate.

This is a small plan of Lieutenant General Sheffield, sending several elite mech teams to start from the underground ore veins, open the route and enter the Covenant's base through the shroud jammer, and then infiltrate and destroy.

Although the mech is a superior 24th century, it still has certain limitations. For example, on both sides now, if there are warships, who will use mecha to fight, at this time mecha is more suitable for infiltration operations and small-scale operations. This is the same as the special forces of the 21st century.

And Raikkonen, as an ace driver and an experienced captain, was naturally selected as the commander-in-chief of this operation.

He took 65 mechs, a total of eight battle formation groups, from different ore veins to infiltrate the main base of the Star Alliance.

And now, it is the second and most critical step of the mission.

Tai-18 flew smoothly under Raikkonen's control, and shortly after, another message came from the front.

"Captain, Liuyi-3 is ready to be the first to pass through the energy shield." A black mecha directly passed through several energy crystal barriers, and the sharp blade penetrated through, instantly cutting through several layers of thick crystals, and "snapping" countless tiny fragments flew up and settled in those green acids.

"Roger." Raikkonen pressed a few buttons, "All members immediately stop moving. ”

As a result, dozens of mechas, which were still about the same speed as bicycles, suddenly stopped moving, and hovered in mid-air a few meters above the ground. And right in front of them, only one mech, the orange mech, was still advancing.

The Energy Shield Disruptor can only operate in one direction, which means that they can only let one person penetrate the shield at a time, and wait a short time before it is the next person's turn. Otherwise, it will cause a slightly violent movement, which will be outside the detection limit of the Covenant Shield Analytical Instrument, which means that it will cause the other party to be alerted.

With a burst of red light, the effect of the shroud jammer was amplified to its maximum power, and the mech quickly rushed forward, stopping abruptly after a few seconds.

"The passage through the shield was successful, and no physical float was triggered." The driver's voice was heard over the liaison.

"Okay, you can continue to infiltrate, Liuyi-2 ready!" Raikkonen issued the order.

In this way, all the mechs were activated one after another, and they all passed through the energy shield of the Star Alliance base. Ten minutes later, all 65 mechs had passed through the shield.

Despite this, these mechs are still in underground veins, and have only moved some distance.

There was also an extension of the energy shield under the ground, but it was weakened to a certain extent due to the interference of the energy crystal veins, so they followed this point and carried out an assault with the comprehensive shield jammer.

"The Explosion Sealing Team has infiltrated!"

"Sword Squad infiltrated!"

“……”

The report of each mecha team came from the liaison, as mentioned before, the 65 mechs were divided into 8 formations, and at this time, they were in 8 different underground mines, located in different underground locations, and they were encircled and enclosed a little bit inside.

"Liuyi Team infiltrated!" Raikkonen also said to everyone, and then he ordered, "Start breaking ground now, still come one by one, don't find out." ”

"I'll start first." After speaking, Raikkonen's hands turned into an afterimage, and he quickly changed the mode of the TAI-18 mecha.

With a faint sound, the blades around the mecha began to spin violently, and at the same time, the mecha began to slowly advance upward.

As the blade rotated, the crystals and the earth were cut into powder, and the noise, which should have been large decibels, was not transmitted due to the sound shielding device.

The soil layer on the ground was quickly broken open, and gray TAI-18 emerged from it.

At the moment when the mech burst out of the ground, Raikkonen immediately mobilized the surveyor and engraved and analyzed all the information around it.

"Well, everything is safe, and sure enough, in this situation of war, even the Americans are all hiding in the battleship group." Raikkonen said into the liaison, "You can come here now, but be careful. ”

He had to do the pathfinding just now, because only with the super fast reaction ability of the ace pilot could he deal with possible emergencies, and after making sure that he had not been discovered, the remaining mechs also began to fly upwards from under the ground, so a total of eight large holes were made in the hard ground.

"Also, don't forget to turn on your shield to the maximum, the Covenant's surveyor is always activated.

The place where they were at this time was in the middle of the two buildings formed by the battleship, a dead end, which was naturally invisible to the human eye, but the surveyor did have to pay attention.

Soon, all 65 mechs broke through the ground and gathered in the corner.
