Chapter 3 Soldier II

Sue's muzzle erupted a blazing flame, and the flames spewed to the side and back, hitting the concrete pillars or the ground, and then bouncing back. The flames swept fiercely across Sue's left hand, which was tightly gripping the trigger, but it didn't leave any scars on the delicate skin.

A bullet flickered and flew out of the muzzle, and every engraved mark on the bullet body was emitting light outward, the brilliance was not very bright and dazzling, but it steadily repelled the surrounding air, making the warhead fly more smoothly and savagely.

The warhead hit the armor of the off-road command vehicle, and was driven by huge kinetic energy to break through the armor, and at the same time the shell began to deform, and then the scorching metal jet and the heavy and sharp core continued to penetrate, breaking through the last thin layer of armor, and rushed into the engine compartment as desired. The roaring engine fuselage was as fragile as a piece of paper to the core, and it easily burrowed into the center of the engine, flattened the piston sideways, and then exited the other side of the engine, and finally pinned deep into the lining of the armor on the other side.

Blazing metal jets ignite the spilled oil and gas, and these ultra-high-heat synthetic fuels explode far more violently than the gasoline of the old days.

In Su's eyes, the huge body of the command car jumped suddenly, and then there was an earth-shattering explosion, the engine cover flew directly into the air at a height of 100 meters, and the engine itself became hundreds of parts, the front of the car flew out of the front, and the cab was completely deformed, almost attached to the rear compartment that was also protected by armor, and the protective armor around the cab was first cracked, and then shattered into pieces and peeled to the ground, the impact on the rear compartment was smaller, but the volume was also reduced by a third, and it seemed that any creature inside was not spared.

Su Bise's eyes were as calm as water, and she pressed the same bullet into the chamber of the gun again,

The two troop transport tanks, one in front and one behind, looked a little flustered, and they immediately took a large S-shaped route to avoid a possible next sniper, while looking for the killer hidden in the shadows in vain, but how could the sniper hidden in the shadows be seen from the narrow observation window of the tank? By the time the tank's on-board radar and computer deduced Su's sniper position, and blasted the ruins more like ruins with more than a dozen shells, Su had long since disappeared.

The two tanks finally returned to the place where the command vehicle was attacked and stopped after a few circles, although judging from the wreckage, it was unlikely that anyone in the command vehicle would survive. Of course, they still took sufficient precautions, and the turrets of the two combat vehicles continued to rotate, and continued to fire several rockets into the ruins, laying an anti-infantry induction mine. Then the door at the back of a chariot opened, and six fighters came out of it, running briskly towards the wreckage of the command vehicle.

Open! A not-so-loud gunshot echoed again, but it made almost all the Blue Scorpion warriors jump in shock. Suddenly, a faint trail appeared in the air, one end rising from the ruins and the other disappearing into the open doors of the chariot. The Blue Scorpion warriors watched in amazement at the bright and huge fireballs erupting from the inside of the chariot, their temporarily blank consciousness making it impossible for them to imagine the fate of the driver and gunner who were still in the vehicle.

The position from which the bullets came was in the center of the induction minefield. Faced with the results of the calculations, the gunner of the other tank was stunned for several seconds before removing the mine-laying rockets that had been filled into the chamber and replacing them with high-explosive shells. Although the power of this thing against infantry is far less than that of mine-laying rockets, but now that the induction mine has obviously failed, this can only be used.

In the rumbling artillery fire, the original minefield was completely destroyed. From the observation glass, all I could see was a large area of smoke and flying rocks, and it was impossible to tell whether it had hit anyone or not, but the gunner had a hunch that his shots had missed. No one can escape the induction of anti-infantry mines, could it be that it is not people who shoot and snipe?

The gunner suddenly found that his palms were covered with sweat, and he kept slipping on the joystick, which was very uncomfortable. He wiped it vigorously on his uniform, but the sweat poured more and more, and he couldn't wipe it clean. An almost instinctive chill caused him to jerk the barrel off an angle, and then fired several shots in quick succession, almost frantically!

Hit the mark! Although nothing but dust could be seen in the viewing glasses, the gunner had this feeling. His heart was beating wildly, and it was as if a boulder was pressing against his chest.

The chariot's fierce fire finally stopped, and the door opened a narrow slit, and the six blue scorpion warriors immediately crowded into the chariot's cramped compartment. God knows whether that extremely dangerous sniper is alive or dead, no one wants to stay in the unobstructed field, even the inside of the tank is not completely safe, no one dares to try to clean up the wreckage of his companion anymore, and no one thinks to find out the life and death of his opponent.

The chariot's doors slammed shut, and then it turned around and sped away, leaving the wreckage of the two burning chariots in place.

After a long time, a ruin of broken bricks and charred cement suddenly moved, several cement blocks tumbled down, and then a hand full of blood and ash stretched out from the ruins. The hand was a little stiff and struggled to push away the pieces of rubble, groping for its surroundings.

Another hand wearing the Dark Dragoon's tactical gloves reached over and grabbed the bloodied hand, pulling Sue out of the rubble.

"A few shocks from the tank cannon, nothing serious." Su smiled weakly, pulled up the mask, spit out a mouthful of sticky bloody phlegm, moved his body, and said, "Today's luck is really bad!" ”

"If I had to say, you were lucky not to be blown to pieces." Enzo said as he handed Sue a kettle. This all-steel kettle is quite delicate and quite small, with an eagle's head engraved on the surface.

Su was not polite, took the kettle and drank it dry. The water inside has a bitter fishy smell, rich in nutrients and hormones that stimulate the body's immunity, as well as broad-spectrum antibiotics. This is the Dark Dragoon's battlefield nutrient solution, and the price is not cheap.

Su moved his body, and there were tingling pains in his left shoulder and left chest. These wounds had nothing to do with the chariot gun, but with the wounds left by the rifle. The recoil of the special bullets that can penetrate the armored command vehicle can be described as terrifying, with Su's ability to control the body, as well as the second-order defense bonus, all of them were hit by the recoil and injured the sternum. He estimated that he would be able to fire four more shots with that bullet at most.

Enzo simply glanced at the traces on the battlefield and said, "There should be another chariot." ”

"Run, you should go back to Pendulum City." Su replied as he skillfully removed the rifle barrel and rifle and replaced them with the original accessories.

Enzo saw the length and caliber of the barrel, the corners of his eyes jumped, and he cursed in a low voice: "Crazy man in the fighting domain......" He knew very well that it was impossible to use a sniper rifle of this caliber with his own constitution. Those who are capable of fighting can even use cannons with ease, but when it comes to the accuracy of shooting, it is a miserable one. God closes one door for you and opens another for you, and vice versa. Of course, the accuracy of the Su sniper has already been selectively ignored by the lieutenant.

"What?" Sue, who was concentrating on adjusting his firearms, did not hear the lieutenant clearly.

"Nothing, nothing! We need to remake a plan now, and the people at Roxserland can be of great help to us. Lieutenant Enzo pulled out the tactics board.

An off-road vehicle came speeding up, driven by Leigh, and in the passenger seat was Rigore. What is remarkable is that the rear compartment of the SUV is full of guns and ammunition. The off-road vehicle rushed like a wild horse, and people had to worry about whether the ammunition in the rear compartment would explode.

As soon as Leigh and Rigore arrived, they joined the tactical discussion. Enzo's tactics board shows a topographic map of Pendulum City, with Sue, Quinn, Enzo, Leigh, and Rigore sitting in a circle discussing tactics. According to Rigore, the Blue Scorpion's attack consisted of six chariots of various types and more than a hundred warriors, and it was unknown if there would be follow-up reinforcements. And the forces on Su's side, in addition to the two dragoons and three servants, were only twenty warriors who had just learned how to use the weapons of the new era. If there is an advantage, it is the individual ability of the two dragoons to win clearly and the 'Bronze Dragon' missile, which Enzo said could easily deal with the Blue Scorpion Chariot.

This kind of discussion, from the very beginning, Sue found that he couldn't intervene at all, and later, the whole tactical plan became a matter for Leigh and Enzo. The attack was scheduled for daytime, which was diametrically opposed to the midnight time that Su had originally secretly envisioned. The attack method was not to infiltrate the attack as Su expected, but to lure the blue scorpion to leave Pendulum City and attack again. In this way, the power of the 'Bronze Dragon' missile can be fully exerted and the Blue Scorpion's chariot can be annihilated in one fell swoop.

Sue found that the plan of the two armies against each other and the habit of fighting alone were completely different things, and he was confused by many things that Leigh and Enzo discussed.

The discussion didn't take long, and Enzo put away the tactics board and said, "We need a reconnaissance of Pendulum City." Sue, how are you feeling now, can you still do it? ”

"No problem." Sue had been moving her body and seemed to be getting more and more agile in her movements.

"Alright, I'll go with you." Enzo said. But looking at Su, who was close to full recovery in just half an hour, he still secretly cursed in his heart: "The pervert of the fighting domain." ”

Sue and Enzo rode in an off-road vehicle and drove until they were ten kilometers away from Pendulum City before letting the two dragoons go. There are also three 'Bronze Dragons' on the buggy, and if you encounter the Blue Scorpion's chariot, then Enzo doesn't mind trying the power of the 'Bronze Dragon' first. On the other side, Leigh led the rest of the warriors to set up an ambush position. In a brief tactical discussion, she had already demonstrated sufficient military qualities, and Quinn, who was more adept at guerrilla warfare, had no objection to her being in command. As for Rigore, he has always been a fan of Leigh.

The pendulum city is large enough, and more than a hundred blue scorpion warriors are scattered inside, just like ants in a large garden, not to mention comprehensive defense, even taking care of a building is a bit too little. As for the cordon set up with the help of electronic equipment, it was as if there was no zài in front of the two dragoons, so Sue and Enzo entered Pendulum City very smoothly, and sneaked towards the Roxerland branch building under the cover of various buildings.

The upper part of the majestic branch building had turned black, and huge bullet marks from the main guns of several tankers could be seen, and many windows were still belching smoke, and even a few windows could be seen in the spitting flames. When forced to retreat, Rigoré ordered the upper floor of the Sitty room to be burned so as not to leave any information for the Blue Scorpion. Around Pendulum City? Most of the watchtowers were reduced to half of their bases, and all the standing fire points were blown into a pile of rubble.

The blue scorpion's attack was very sudden and extremely ferocious. When the sentinels spotted the dust billowing from the Blue Scorpion convoy, they had less than ten minutes left to prepare. In the face of the overall equipment gap, although Li's well-trained fighters made full use of the abandoned buildings and sniped the blue scorpion with the help of various terrains, they played a little bit of a role in delaying the opponent's movement at most. The two old heavy guns in the city fired only two shots, and the trajectory was calculated, and then it was destroyed by a single shot.

The greatest danger faced by the Roxyserland warriors was the induction anti-infantry mine. They often collide head-on with whizzing sensor mines in the middle of the transfer. The blue scorpion's life detection system is also very developed, as long as the distance is within thirty meters, even if it hides behind a thick cement wall, it cannot escape the precise bombardment of the chariot artillery.

Street battles, which used to be a nightmare for armored forces in the old era, can no longer function under the suppression of comprehensive equipment.

After only ten minutes of fighting, Leigh had to give the order to retreat. She ordered thirty people to break off, and withdrew from Pendulum City with only seventy or eighty scientific research engineers and warriors left in total. Su told them the general location of Dragon City, and they had no choice but to flee to Dragon City. However, Pendulum City and Dragon City are nearly three hundred kilometers apart, and according to the performance of these old-fashioned vehicles in Roxerland, if they escape more than a hundred kilometers, they will be chased by the Blue Scorpion, and the troops left behind can only delay for ten minutes at most.

Unless, Lily and Rigore, left their large army behind and fled alone in the off-road vehicle. I don't know if it's a tacit understanding, both Rei and Rigore chose to stay. However, they were lucky enough to meet Sue, who was speeding up and came alone. If Su had been ten minutes late, he would have seen a corpse.

In Pendulum City, in a laneway, Enzo bent over and ran quickly. At the end of the alleyway was a wall, and Enzo jumped up with all his might, and his body lightly climbed over the two-meter-high wall, only to hit a floating brick under his feet and make a soft clicking sound when he landed.

On the other side of the wall was the garden beneath a three-story apartment, and Sue crouched outside the back door of the apartment, looking intently at the two corpses lying on the stairs, as if she hadn't heard Enzo at all.

Enzo slowed his pace and came behind Sue, crouching down as well. As Sue circled half the city in Pendulum City, his snort had begun to heavily, and sweat was constantly oozing from his face. Looking at Sue, whose breathing was so long and even that he could barely hear it, Enzo had no strength to curse at all, even if it was only in his heart.

"There's something wrong with this woman?" Enzo asked, lowering his voice.

The woman lay on her back on a three-step staircase, and next to the staircase was a little girl who looked to be only seven or eight years old. The woman looked thirty years old, well-maintained, and had a mature and beautiful charm. The fatal wound was a small hole in the lower part of the left chest, but the blood under the body flowed all over the ground, like a small puddle. It's all the scars left by new-age rifles, small but lethal enough.

"She's good-looking, but it's a little strange that the Blue Scorpion's people simply killed her and didn't touch her at all. The little girl over there too. Sue said. In a bland tone, he recounted the most common atrocities of war.

Enzo's brows furrowed, and he removed his gloves and touched the woman's face lightly. The sensation coming from the fingers is delicate and soft, but there is some uncomfortable coldness.

"This woman is good. Those scorpions have no reason to let her go, she has no ability to fight, it is a pity to kill, such a woman is rare in the wilderness. Enzo walked up to the little girl's body, cut her clothes with his saber, took a look at the body, and said, "There is no mutation on the little one." The men who went to the battlefield were all beasts, and it was impossible to let go of such a delicious thing. You're right, those scorpions are very strange. ”

Sue stood up, looked through the empty corridor of the apartment, looked at the opposite block, his face was a little pale, and the world of phantoms reappeared.

He saw the woman holding the little girl in her arms, running desperately into the door of the apartment, and then running down the corridor towards the garden. However, a bullet flew and pierced the girl's calf. Next, it was the woman who blocked the back door with her arms outstretched, and the little girl cried and tried to climb under the flowers.

A dark flower of blood bloomed on the woman's back, and she fell helplessly to the sky, and then a blue scorpion warrior appeared at the back door. Expressionlessly, he shot the little girl struggling to crawl to the cover, and then turned away.

The world of phantoms appears and disappears from time to time, and all Su can see is intermittent pictures. Reason told him that the qiē presented in the illusory world was a fact that had just happened here, but Su still didn't want to believe it. Because this qiē simply cannot be explained.

"What do you think is so strange about the blue scorpion?" Sue asked.

"They are either disciplined, or they don't have a ** at all, just like a gelding war horse, a purely tool for war. Personally, I prefer the latter possibility. Enzo said, his face darkening even more.

Su nodded silently, Enzo's words partially verified the scene presented by the Illusory World, but he was unwilling to admit that the Illusory World was also a reality, a reality that could not be explained at the moment.

"Let's go over there and have a look." Su pointed to a five-story apartment building across the street and said, "Be careful, you should be able to see the camp where the Blue Scorpion is currently stationed from the rooftop." ”

Sue scurried, swiftly crossed the wide street, and then, like a weightless gecko, climbed straight up the outer street of the apartment, and disappeared into the roof of the apartment in just a few seconds. During the whole process, Sue didn't make a single sound.

In Enzo's eyes, Sue simply turned into a ghost with no weight and no substance. He bet that after seeing Su's current appearance, even among the Dark Dragoons, no lieutenant would want to fight Su to the death in the city or in the ruined environment. Of course Ben. Curtis can't simply be classified as a lieutenant, he's a monster.

Climbing a five-story building can be easily done by Enzo in his usual training, and even makes a tiny sound, similar to the sound of a cat landing on the ground. But now that he has lost more than half of his body, many of his movements are slightly deformed, so climbing the apartment has become an easy task.

Enzo began to run at an accelerated pace, and with the help of his momentum, he climbed to the fourth floor, and then he soared into the air, grabbed the edge of the roof, and climbed up.

Enzo tried to slow down his breathing, prostrate to the edge of the roof, and Sue stood side by side, looking to the other side, his face couldn't help but change greatly, and he whispered, "What is this!" ”

"I don't know. Leigh didn't say anything about it, and it looks like she just arrived here. Sue replied softly.

Opposite the apartment is the central square of Pendulum City, and the camp of the Blue Scorpion is right in the middle of the square. More than a dozen large battalion military tents have been erected in the square, and it seems that the blue scorpion does not like to occupy abandoned buildings. On one side of the camp were five vehicles of various types, including one main combat vehicle. However, it wasn't the vehicles that almost screamed Enzo, but a strange vehicle at the other end of the square.

It uses the chassis of the main combat vehicle as a vehicle, but this is not a full track type, but is composed of three separate small tracks on each side, and in contrast to the suspension system of the Dark Dragoon, it is not difficult to imagine that these six sets of tracks will be able to "walk" like six legs if necessary.

Instead of a turret, it's a half-body of a giant cyborg! The dark black fuselage is imbued with mechanical beauty, and at the end of both arms is a six-barreled machine gun and a large-caliber recoilless gun. Its fuselage is covered with glossy alloy armor, and the shiny blue scorpion pattern on the back is very eye-catching. On its head are up to eight electronic eyes, each shining with different lights, apparently with different detection functions.

Its head swerved, coldly scanning the area around the square. It seems that there is no place for people to sit on this big creature of cyborg and half chariot, there is no visible observation window or passage door anywhere on the shell, and there seems to be no operator inside, is this a fully intelligent war machine?

"This guy looks troublesome, can the 'Bronze Dragon' deal with it?" Sue asked.

Enzo slowed his body as slowly as he could, and every time the odd and hideous war cybter's head turned to this side, he felt like he was being targeted by a real person.

"I don't know, it should work, let's try it. I said, we've got to get out of here, we'll find out if we stay any longer. Enzo said.

"You retreat first, and I'll come later." Sue said.

Enzo didn't insist, he slowly but carefully stepped back, and when he reached the edge of the roof, he was about to find a place to settle down, when suddenly a fist-sized metal ball rose in front of his eyes, and eight small nozzles protruding from the sphere spewed thin blue fire, supporting it to float in the air. There was a crimson electronic eye in the center of the ball, and at the moment, the focus was on Enzo's head!

In an instant, the mournful sound of sirens pierced the silence of Pendulum City! Enzo's reaction was extremely decisive, he immediately jumped directly from the fifth floor, and when he was still in the air, he raised his hand and shot it! The bullets from the rapid-fire pistol struck the orb's electronic eye with great precision, sending it into a pile of parts in the air.

Enzo pulled his left hand on the windowsill, buffered the fall slightly, and then rolled several times in a row at the moment of landing, completely digesting the kinetic energy of the fall, and then immediately jumped up and rushed towards the predetermined retreat route.

Sue was like a fallen leaf, falling directly to the ground lightly, and his body squatted down to eliminate the fall, and then chased after Enzo. In a few steps, he was running side by side with Enzo.

At this moment, there was a strange whistling sound behind them, and the two dragoons who had been on the battlefield for a long time didn't need to look back to know that they were not grenades or high-speed missiles flying.

Sue lunged on top of Enzo and knocked him to the ground. Who knew that Enzo suddenly exerted his strength, and he turned over, but pressed Su underneath!

A violent explosion occurred less than twenty meters away, and the half of the seven-story building they were standing on collapsed, and the cement slabs several meters long flew through the air, and countless broken bricks and broken trees fell to the sky!

As soon as the explosion ended, Enzo stood up in spite of the falling bricks and stones. Su also bounced off the ground, his movements so strange and light that he didn't look like a human at all.

"Let's go!" Enzo let out a low roar, picked up Sue and rushed towards the end of the alley.

With a loud bang, a broken cement pillar six or seven meters long fell from the sky, just hitting the place where the two of them were lying.

After only a few steps, Sue grabbed Enzo's right upper arm with his backhand, lifted it up, and then began to speed up! Enzo felt his body immediately lighten by half, and his speed increased by at least half. Although his right arm was carried by Su and it was a little difficult to move, his left arm and left shoulder were bleeding so much that he couldn't move at all, and he couldn't shake his arm to help him run.

The depths of Su Bise's pupils continued to flicker, and the hidden power in her body was exerted bit by bit, carrying Enzo faster and faster. Dense explosions continued to sound behind them, but they were getting farther and farther away.

"Why did you hold me down just now, my body is obviously stronger than you." As the danger faded away, Sue could finally ask the question that she had endured for so long.

"Because I'm better equipped than you! I have armor and you don't. Second Lieutenant Su, you don't think your flesh is harder than my armor, do you? Enzo's tone was as cold and hard as ever, even though there was a weakness in his voice that could not be concealed. The two of them were still running, the edge of Pendulum City was in front, but the blue scorpion was still chasing after him closely, leaving no time for Sue and Enzo to stop and treat their wounds.

"I didn't think anyone in the Dark Dragoon would really help me." Su Xiaoxiao said.

Lieutenant Enzo frowned and said sternly: "This is on the battlefield, and we are now comrades-in-arms!" Second Lieutenant Sue, I've heard about you, but Fabregas only speaks for themselves. In the Dark Dragoon, there are quite a few real soldiers! ”
