Chapter 34: The Assault (Part II)

Rumble! ~

A loud roar and rising flames lit up the more than fifty outposts entrenched in Area 94 like brilliant fireworks. In platoons, paratroopers very risky chose to attack all the posts in the area at the same time. Normally, such a scattered pattern of attack would have been like hitting a stone with an egg, but now, with the post being undermanned and unresponsive, the paratroopers knocked out more than half of the external defensive fire of the Union post almost in the first attack.

"Rush! ~”

Amid the roar of the officers, the infantry cannon mounted on the spider-shaped multi-purpose power vehicle continued to fire plasma bullets with a piercing screeching sound as it advanced. The steel walls of the outpost suddenly let out an unbearable scream, and the light from the explosion seemed to illuminate the entire sky, and even the ground under his feet trembled like an earthquake under the continuous artillery bombardment.

"Don't panic! ~Enter the rotating turret! Fast! ~Fast! ~”

The panicked defenders in the post rushed to their posts in a panic under the anxious yelling of the commander, and gradually, a series of rotating batteries hidden in the armor of the post rose from the various firing points of the post. Unfortunately, the defenders at the outpost had already missed the best opportunity to defend themselves, and after being shielded from their surveillance devices, they had already made the Republic paratroopers too close.

As the rotating turret rose from under the steel plates closed by the outpost, the Union defenders holding the cannon had no time to press the trigger when they saw the steel figure crouching at their side, staring at them like a demon.

Rumble! ~

The bulletproof glass of the rotating turret dome could not withstand the continuous fire of the Heavy 25 mm rapid-fire gun, and in the ferocious fire of the rapid-fire gun, the shattered glass shards and scarlet plasma made the turret a hell in an instant. After dealing with the last armament of the Rotary Battery, the paratrooper reloaders who were ambushed above the post directly blew up the cockpit of the Rotary Battery and entered the post through the gap that was blown out.

Suddenly, desperate cries and screams rang out from inside the outpost. At this moment, the outpost built on the lonely peak is no longer a security barrier, but a slaughterhouse that imprisons the survivors' escape footsteps.

Ten minutes later......

The gunfire and screams died down at the same time, and the assault platoon soldiers who were lying in ambush at the outpost emerged from their bunkers one by one and gathered around the billowing smoke of the outpost.

'Bang! ~’

Suddenly, the sturdy automatic door of the outpost was kicked open from the inside with a loud bang. A blood-stained heavy man emerges from the twisted doorframe and looks through the gap to countless blood-soaked severed limbs and severed arms all over the field, a sight that makes even the bravest soldier feel creepy.

"Sir, we are the first troops to conquer the position."

Another assault platoon heavy loader appeared at the top of the post, excitedly reporting the battle to the paratrooper lieutenant, whose armor was covered in blood.

The paratrooper lieutenant looked up at the peaks where there was still a fierce exchange of fire in the distance, and suddenly walked silently towards a dark corner.

"Sir, are we going to support them?"

"Sir......

Suddenly, the paratrooper lieutenant stopped in front of a pile of rocks, slowly drew two long knives from the armguards of his armor, and the red-glowing electronic eyes locked onto a craggy rock that looked indistinguishable from other rocks.

"Who are you? You've been following me for a long time. ”

An indifferent but familiar voice sounded in Robin's communicator, and hearing this voice, Robin, who had been following the assault platoon closely, finally dispelled the last trace of doubt in his heart.

He smiled, connected to the other party's private communication, and replied in a voice full of nostalgia and excitement: "Zhuo Luo, long time no see. ”

……

After a short two-hour battle, all 56 Union outposts entrenched in Area 94 fell.

In this lightning annihilation, 24 outposts were struck by the Doom Caste, while the remaining 32 outposts were damaged within repairable conditions. Therefore, the flying formation hovering over Area 94 immediately dropped a lot of defensive materials and airborne sappers, intending to repair these 32 posts as quickly as possible in order to completely occupy this area.

And at this busy moment, at the top of the outpost, Robin, who had unloaded his armor, stood shoulder to shoulder with Zolo, looking leisurely at the rolling hills that were silent in the darkness.

"I really didn't expect to see you here, didn't you go to serve on Charon? How did you come here? ”

After removing the hideous heavy infantry armor, the tall and thin Zhuo Luo seemed to have lost the slaughter he had not had not been before, and the terrifying murderous aura that permeated his bones seemed to have faded a lot because of Robin.

"Who am I? ~Such a small battlefield, I won a casual battle. As for how you got here, it's complicated. Robin crossed his hands on his waist and laughed heartily.

Zhuo Luo smiled noncommittally. And if someone who is familiar with him sees his smile at this moment, they will definitely think that it is his hallucination. Because in the more than four months of Pluto's service, Zhuo Luo has never had a smile on his face, he is the famous 'Grim Reaper' in the paratrooper unit, even those veterans who have served for several years, they dare not anger this unsmiling 'recruit'.

"Hey, how did you get up so fast? I think I've risen fast enough, why haven't you seen you in a few months, and you're already a lieutenant. Robin glanced at Zhuo Luo's two silver sword epaulettes and asked sourly.

"I fought a few battles and killed some people, so I went up."

Zolo was an understatement, but just think of the hellish scene inside the outpost beneath his feet to know what the real scene he described should look like.

"Your murderous aura is getting heavier and heavier, I really don't know how your colleagues get along with you."

"They are different from you, they will be afraid of me, but you are not."

"Hey, hey! Don't talk about yourself so badly, you were still my deputy during the training camp, I'll be afraid of you! ~" Robin yelled at Zhuo Luo, and suddenly turned around and got into the elevator of the outpost: "The inside should have been almost cleaned, let's go in and talk, it's too cold outside." ”

Taking the elevator into the outpost, several soldiers who were cleaning the blood stains stood up and saluted in panic as soon as they saw Zhuo Luo. Robin returned the salute with his customary surname, and Zoro strode past them with Robin as if he hadn't seen it at all. After walking some distance, Robin faintly heard the sound of long exclamations and hurried departure from behind him.

"Hey, it looks like they're really scared of you." Taking off his helmet and goggles, Robin stopped, stared at Zhuo Luo and said, "It looks like your popularity is as bad as ever. ”

Zhuo Luo took off his helmet and took a deep breath of the air in the outpost with a strong smell of blood: "They are not real warriors, they will be afraid of being more fierce than themselves, and I am more ferocious than them, so they are afraid of me." ”

Looking at Zolo as he took off his light infantry helmet, Robin noticed that he was a little thinner than he had been in the training camp. And the angular facial contours, coupled with his short dark green hair, make people taste the rich murderous aura from this face at first glance. And compared to the training camp, the current Zolo's dark and deep eyes will flash with a scarlet blood light from time to time, and when he stares at it, even Robin, who has long been like a brother to him, can feel the terrifying sense of suffocation.

"What about Barton and Claude? I've heard they're serving in the Pluto War Department too, so they won't be afraid of you. Perhaps sensing the loneliness in Zolo's heart, Robin naturally mentioned the two fellow Tiger Battalion classmates who were also serving on Pluto.

"Claude served in the Special Battalion of the 11th Army Division, and Patton is dead."

"What! Is Patton dead? ”

Hearing the news of Barton's death, Robin only felt the blood rushing to his head in an instant, he looked at Zhuo Luo with rapid breathing, and asked with trembling lips, "When did it happen...... He...... How did he die? ”

"Two weeks ago, he was killed in a federal air raid."

"Air Raid ......"

Hearing this, Robin shuddered, lowered his head in grief, and gritted his teeth 'gurgling'.

Unlike the reclusive Drow, Robin was very popular during the Tiger training camp. As fellow trainees, Barton and Claude are Robin's other friends besides Drowl. Although from the moment they walked out of the training camp, they had already realized that they had died in battle, and they were ready to hear the death of their comrades. But when the moment really came, Robin felt a heart-piercing pain and an unforgettable hatred for the Federal Flying Force.

"The 11th Division of the Army...... To put it this way...... Claude ...... now, and suddenly, Robin remembered something and looked up sharply.

"Yes, they're being surrounded by the Federals right now, and maybe Claude is dead now." Zhuo Luo didn't have a trace of expression, and said in a flat tone.

"No, it can't be! ~ Claude is very strong, he doesn't die so easily. Robin shook his head vigorously to forget the terrible thought, he looked at Zolo's indifferent face, and roared as if he swore an oath: "I will not hear about his death, for I will complete my mission, and after that, we will win this war!" ~”

"Mission?" Zhuo Luo frowned: "What task do you have?" ”

"Infiltrate behind enemy lines, blow up the Federal Army's hangars and sabotage their radar systems." Robin smiled grimly, "Those bastards flying in the sky blew up Patton, and I'm going to blow them up now to avenge Patton." Hum...... I had never thought this task would be such a good fit for me before. ”

Hearing the details of Robin's mission, Zhuo Luo's rare emotions became agitated, and he grabbed Robin by the collar and roared, "You will die!" ~”

"Don't underestimate me, I'm strong now!" Robin casually swept away Zhuo Luo's hand that grabbed his collar, and smiled confidently: "Let's go, I'll take you to meet my teammates, they are some very nice guys, maybe you will like them." ”

“……”

Zhuo Luo stared blankly at his hand that was knocked off by Robin, and then looked at Robin's confident back, a faint smile gradually replaced the original solemnity, and quickly followed Robin.
