Pluto is the star of eternal night, an asteroid left behind in the farthest reaches of the solar system that never enjoys warm sunlight. Looking up at the starry sky from Pluto's vast surface, the sun that should have been bright was only the size of a small light bulb, and the faint fluorescence could only slightly dissipate the darkness, bringing a faint yellow light to the planet of eternal night.

And on the dark canopy of Pluto, a small transport plane with its body painted black was carefully following the course, silently flying through the dark battlefield that erupted from time to time with dazzling fires and explosions.

"Fuck the Federation mongrels! Come on! ~Come on! ～”

In the cabin of the transport plane, Robin and Lee restlessly looked down at the battlefield below through the cabin window.

At this moment, after a five-hour flight, the transport plane had already carried Robin and the other four people away from the rear and entered the front-line battlefield where the battle situation was stalemate. However, there was still a long way to go from the 94th area where Robin was going to be airborne, so crossing this vast combat area without being detected became the biggest problem facing the transport pilot.

However, the belligerent and restless Robin obviously couldn't feel the pilot's nervousness at the moment, and after stumbling upon the division-scale encounter in the area below, he and Lee were like being beaten with chicken blood, shouting in the cabin all the time, if it weren't for the sealed surname of the transport plane, I'm afraid their shouts could even be heard clearly by the Union soldiers in the battlefield below.

"Damn, can't you just give me a moment of silence? Your yelling is louder than my engine! ～”

Finally, the pilot, whose eyes were red with nervousness, could not restrain his emotions and shouted and cursed in the communication.

"Concentrate on flying your plane, beware of being bombarded by surface-to-air missiles......"

Robin shouted in the communication channel unconvinced, but as soon as he finished speaking, a bright spot suddenly appeared in his vision as he looked out the window, and it quickly zoomed in.

"Damn! ~ It's a missile! ～”

Suddenly, Robin and Lee screamed, jumped out of the window like panicked rabbits, and grabbed the safety belt at hand. The pilot, who was highly nervous, reflexively pulled the longitudinal rod and drove the transport plane as if juggling an S-shaped tumbling motion.

After a dizzying whirlwind, Robin watched as the missile spewed a bright tail flame past the window, barely hitting the transportplane's close wing.

"God forbid! ～”

It wasn't until the missile exploded in the air after a spiral flight that Robin clutched his chest and shouted luck, and quickly fastened his safety belt, nervously asking, "Did the Federation Army discover us?" ”

"If we had been discovered, there wouldn't have been just one missile shooting at us." Colin, who was fiddling with the radar, raised his head and glanced at Robin calmly, and said helplessly: "The standard missiles of the Federal Army all have a thermal tracking function, and they should have automatically tracked them after sensing the thermal energy reaction of our transport aircraft, so this is purely a matter of luck." ”

"It turned out to be a misshoot!" Robin took a sip and scolded, "Damn, scare me." ”

"It was a misshoot, but then it was definitely not. The Federalist ground forces will soon spot the missile, so we should be exposed by now. And according to my radar, a dozen kilometers away, there is a bomber formation of the Union Army approaching, and if we still keep course, we will encounter this bomber formation in a minute. ”

"Damn, they want to bomb our troops!" Realizing the Federal Army's intentions, Robin immediately lashed out angrily.

"You're a good republican [***]." Colin smiled wryly and took off his glasses, "Don't you think we're more dangerous than our allies?" You still have the heart to care about others. ”

“……”

At this moment, the pilot's anxious voice suddenly sounded in the communication channel of the cabin.

"Enemy aircraft formations have been spotted ahead, and now I'm going to change course. And there's a good chance I'll not be able to get to the designated location, so be ready to parachute at any time. ”

"What!" Robin jumped up in a hurry when he heard this, grabbed the communicator at hand and shouted, "No way to get to the designated place? Feed! ~What does that mean? ”

"This means that I may be detected by enemy radar at any time, and you will be forced to parachute at that time, and your flight will end here. As for how to get to the designated position after parachuting, you have to figure it out for yourself. ”

"Bastard...... You're such an irresponsible captain! ”

"I'm not a civil aviation, besides...... You didn't even buy a plane ticket! ”

“……”

While Robin and the pilot were scolding each other on the communication channel, the transport plane they were flying in had deviated from the course in an attempt to avoid the oncoming Union bomber formation. But perhaps it was the missile that was fired by mistake just now that the ground forces of the Federal Army had discovered them, so it was quickly found on Colin's radar that the bomber formation of the Federal Army had split into two escort fighters and were in hot pursuit.

"Sure enough, it was discovered."

Seeing the sudden acceleration of the two Federation Eagle fighters chasing after him, Colin hurriedly turned off his radar and tied it tightly to his back. And the transport plane that Robin was on also began to accelerate instantly, trying to shorten the distance between them and the other party.

"Hey! Listen up, the Paratrooper Rangers have to wait for fifty seconds, after which you will be parachuted, and you will only be able to avoid detection if you reach the ground in thirty seconds. Now start to the timing. ”

Hearing the electronic sound of the timer in the cabin after the pilot said this, Robin took a deep breath, clutched the assault rifle in his hand and shouted, "Hey, I haven't asked you what your name is after being on your plane for so long." Tell me your name, and when I get back from my mission, I'll go to the flying group to complain to you. ”

"Angus, I'm Second Lieutenant Angus." After the pilot said his name, he suddenly paused and said with a smile: "If I can go back alive, I'd be happy for you to complain about me, but only if you yourself come back alive first." Now, GI...... Go down for me! ”

'Whew! ～’

At the moment when the timer ended, the bottom of the cabin under everyone's seats suddenly opened, and before Robin and the others could react, the howling wind in front of them and the rapid descent made Robin's blood rush to his brain at once. His eyes widened in horror, and he pressed the cushion button almost subconsciously.

With a 'whew', two buffer air jets from under the seat quickly slowed down the momentum of the fall, and then, Robin only felt that as soon as his butt sank, the seat disintegrated by itself in the air, and at the moment of disintegration, it formed enough reaction force to completely slow down the terrifying speed of the fall.

All this was done in an instant, when the seat disintegrated, Robin's speed and height were actually at a safe distance from the airborne, he only felt that after a series of rolls in the air under the impetus of the positive and negative forces, Robin's wide eyes had already seen the reddish-brown ground that was close at hand.

"Damn! ～”

Before he could grit his teeth and curse, Robin followed the instructions in the pre-plane instruction manual, leaning back as much as he could, allowing his body to open in the air, and bending his knees slightly to form enough cushion the moment his feet landed.

Bang! ～

The moment his feet touched the ground, Robin only felt a pinprick stabbing pain coming from the soles of his feet, and his knees, which had borne the weight of his whole body and the huge impact, felt as if they were about to be crushed. But according to the standard airborne action memorized in his mind, Robin held back the pain and gritted his teeth and rolled forward. This action immediately dissipated the huge impact force when it landed, and the sound of ping-pong when the protective gear on the helmet, shoulders, knees, etc., collided with the ground immediately sounded in my ears.

rolled out more than ten meters in a row, and Robin stopped in embarrassment. Resisting the nausea in his heart, he stood up trembling on his knees, and took a few deep breaths to ease his intense dizziness from the rapid fall and roll.

Soon, several other ping-pong sounds sounded not far away, and the sound made him feel like an iron pot that had been thrown to the ground.

"That bastard who canceled his parachute gear must not have skipped it himself!" Robin stomped his numb feet hard, felt the tingling pain subside, and limped closer to where the others had landed.

In fact, Robin didn't know that the inventor of this parachute parachute not only jumped himself, but was also a captain of the Airborne Forces who had experienced a hundred battles. In the old days, parachutes were often locked by the enemy before they landed, and they became targets for guns that stayed in the air because they stayed in the air for too long and the target was too obvious. Since the invention of parachuteless airborne, this highly secretive and efficient airborne method has quickly become the mainstream. Relying on the strong physical fitness and cutting-edge mechanical equipment of human beings in the new era, it only takes 160 seconds for today's airborne troops to reach the ground even if they are airborne at an altitude of 8,000 meters. A low-altitude airborne landing like Robin's, coupled with Pluto's extremely low visibility, can be quietly airborne in just a few seconds, and the landing accuracy is no more than ten meters.

"Hey, how are you lying on the ground like a dead dog!"

Robin staggered to Lee's side, pulled him up from the ground and asked, "Where's Aven?" ”

"He's over there." Lee slowly recovered after retching with his hands on his knees for a while, quickly tore off the jacket with the cushioning film on his body, and destroyed it on the spot with Robin's.

Soon, the two people who quickly completed the destruction of the buffer suit followed the landing direction and found Ai Wen, who was half lying in a pile of rubble. However, Colin is already one step ahead of them, and is dealing with Aven's injuries.

"What's hurt?" Seeing Aivan's appearance, Robin immediately anxiously stepped forward and asked.

"When I landed, I stepped on a rock and broke my foot." Ai Wen sighed with an embarrassed expression, and blamed himself shamefully: "I'm sorry, I didn't expect to hold you back just now." ”

"He didn't have any structural injuries, and he would be healed in two or three minutes." Colin, who had learned emergency treatment, treated Ewen with a spray, and the redness and swelling at his ankle immediately subsided at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Then take advantage of these two or three minutes, Li and I will go to collect airdropped supplies. Let's hope that guy named Angus didn't forget to drop our gear down. ”

After confirming that Colin and Evan were okay, Robin and Lee immediately followed the cue pattern displayed in the goggles, looking for the heavy infantry armor parts and other equipment that had been airdropped with them.

Since the airdropped materials all have their own automatic positioning system, Robin and Lee easily found the equipment that was airdropped, but just as they were about to take these equipment to join Colin, a roar like a volcanic eruption suddenly sounded in the distance, and then, the originally black sky was suddenly swallowed by the continuous rising flames, and the shock wave caused by the explosion swept a terrifying storm across the vast wasteland, and even the earth trembled violently under this destructive force.

It wasn't until the storm had passed that Robin and Lee got up from the pit in disgrace and looked at the gray sky dozens of kilometers away.

"It's a high-explosive ......bomb," Robin muttered as he looked at the rising mushroom cloud.

"Those damn bastards! We're not going to die......"

"Who knows." Robin sighed, dragged up the heavy equipment and said, "I just hope that Angus is still alive, and the next time I see him, I must give him a punch!" ”
