Roger Shaozo, 207 Guardian Training School 96th Class (Total Second Phase), A-01 Battle Otome Squadron Assault Guard.

In 97, Cheorwon was a big hit in the first battle, and in the subsequent Gwangju Operation, the empire's own operations were even more successful, although he was once ordered to break away from the battle sequence during the Kyoto Defense Battle, and carried out a secret mission single-handedly - it was rumored to be a mission escorted by General Masawei, but there is no official confirmation - but the number of crashes was still at the top of the squadron.

One of the heroes of the Star Battle, the Empire, and even the Humans.

After...... No, it should be said that on a par with another legendary hero.

……

This is the newcomers to the Otome Squadron, and they have been familiar with it since they entered the 207 Guardian School. But to be honest, in addition to the video materials, I'm afraid that the only one who has come into contact with this "hero" real person is Akane Suzumiya.

And it's not direct contact, it's just an indirect relationship between a friend of a sister's lover, or a lover of a sister's friend, or an indirect relationship between a sister's friend. That was at least two years ago.

Therefore, although I vaguely heard that there would be surprises from the private laughter of the seniors before and after the battle preparation meeting, the fact that the legendary human hero appeared so directly still slightly startled these girls.

Especially when no matter how they recalled, they didn't remember how Roger Shaozo threw those three-meter-tall intact light seeds over.

This kind of strength is enough to be called "terrifying...... If the empire could have a few more "monsters" like Roger Shaozuo, I'm afraid that BETA would have been driven back to the Pacific Ocean a long time ago, right?

However, they have also heard that before the star fights, not to mention the Empire, even if the entire United Nations Army is included, there are only two people with similar combat power.

And the other one of them......

Kashiwagi and Tsukiji vaguely knew each other as good friends, which was why Akane Suzumiya paused slightly when she called out the name of Roger Shaozo just now. Of course, this is also the reason why they didn't say much after that.

Fortunately, Lieutenant Hasase, who has always been very arrogant, put an end to the embarrassment in the communication channel, in fact, no matter whether it is new or old, everyone knows it, and only she can "evaluate" Roger Shaozo at will, without causing any opinions-okay, the Imperial Political Authority General who is far away in Tokyo sneezes half elegantly at this moment - and then when everyone sees the 02 machine pulling out his sword and rushing directly in the direction of Roger Shaozo, no one is even more surprised.

Roger himself wasn't much surprised, after all, the Type 74 long knife was better than the Type 87 assault gun, probably ...... Bar......

"Senotome 04, return to the team."

After simply raising his left arm to receive the ordinary slash of Shiranui, a voice that was unfamiliar to the newcomer or old man or had not been seen for a long time appeared in the team's channel.

"This is Senotome 01, welcome back."

Yes, welcome back.

Captain Isumi's response was gentle and decent, and in addition to Lieutenant Hasase, Lieutenant Munakata and Lieutenant Kazama, they also expressed similar intentions in the communication channel.

As for Akane Lianggong, they are still in the shock of that scene.

Receiving attacks from tactical aircraft with a human body and bare hands?!

Not to mention mechanized infantry equipment, not even reinforced suits ?!

Several girls couldn't figure out what kind of "sturdy" body was hidden under the uniform of the ordinary United Nations Army.

That's right, military uniforms.

The rank above is actually still a captain.

This is obviously not an oolong made up by the quartermaster department, but another rumor that is circulating in private, such as Shaozo himself and the deputy commander of the Yokohama base, and even the Mi army has a grudge against the dead......

But in any case, from the moment the phrase "Senotome 04" came into their ears, the newcomers felt a warmth in their hearts, and the manipulating Shiranui became more fluid and flexible in the next closing capture battle.

Soon, all 36 betas were captured.

Although the number of large species among them is not large, but to this extent with only twelve machines, it is already worthy of the title of Senotome, right?

Akane Suzumiya secretly thought with a little pride, until Lieutenant Hasase's laughing and scolding came from the communication channel again:

"I brought a few ordinary ray-level back, and the heavy ray-level didn't say anything, and I didn't even see the fortress level, are you embarrassed?"

"Who let them be too slow, they are still tall, and when the other beta is still twenty meters deep, most of the fortress level has already been exposed. Those who can escape the naval guns will not be able to reach out to me. ”

"Make fewer excuses."

"It's good to have the light class, do you want to replace the 56th fleet?"

……

What the?

The meaning of this dialogue is that as long as the objective conditions allow, can Roger Shaozo really be captured alive even at the fortress level?

The newcomers had an unbelievable expression on their faces at the moment, and some of them even opened a private channel to secretly consult with the senior of Zong Xiang Meiyan, although the latter also gave an affirmative answer, but this was also too unbelievable.

……

"Isn't it cool to be handsome in front of your juniors?" Also in the private channel, Mizuki Ase asked someone unceremoniously.

Roger really didn't deliberately pose today, and even he couldn't pose vividly under the 74-style long knife, and he had to remind himself not to be too distorted at all times. "A few slashes are almost enough, what do you mean you want to pull out another knife?"

"Chop the stuffing."

“……”

In any case, the 2001 class of 207A detachment graduates, the first battle of the Otome squadron was successfully completed.

casualties, 0.

This record is as impressive as in the tradition of the Otome squadron, and even Roger has to admit that if he doesn't show up in this battle, I'm afraid there will be no changes, at best, the captured beta is slightly mutilated.

Anyway, it's used as a laboratory animal, and it's not like that with one more leg and one less leg.

Although Roger still didn't understand why Xiang Yuexi called that woman a woman, why would she suddenly be interested in the living BETA - it should be the so-called Ji Lu Draw Four needs, right?

"That's a nice thing to say, but you didn't mean to bring the Light and Fortress levels over." As usual, DG hit the nail on the head.

"You've been reminding me to be careful of Xiangyue Xihu, right?" This is Roger's return salute.

Naturally, this kind of conversation was inaudible to even Ase Mizuki, who had already jumped off the ignorant fire as quickly as possible, and then dragged Roger into a certain logistics vehicle amid the coaxing of Munakata Mitsuki, and then the enclosed truck, which was originally used for ammunition transportation, shook a few times.

(It's just that Ase Mizuki continues to use violence.,If you want to be crooked, please face the wall yourself.。 ）

In short, after the battle, the newcomers who disembarked one after another got a precious opportunity to get up close and personal with the human heroes. Although this hero is not overly peculiar in appearance, the more this is the case, the more memorable the contrast between his inhuman performances on the battlefield just now.

This contact didn't last long, except for Lieutenant Hasase who had been staring at him from the side, and Lieutenant Munakata, who deliberately pretended to be ignorant, dragged Lieutenant Kazama over. After that, Captain Izu, who was usually gentle and stern, joined in the excitement a little. No matter how excited the newcomers were, they still consciously retreated to a slightly lower position.

In fact, they can also see that although the seniors all look happy to reunite after a long absence, in fact, if they listen carefully, they can occasionally pick out a little choked up from the words. Especially Lieutenant Kazama, when Lieutenant Muneaka has been gagging beside her, her eyes are still a little red......

"I heard my sister occasionally mention that Roger Shaozo seems to have not appeared in public in the otome squadron for about two years." This is Akane Ryomiya's explanation at the newcomer's gathering afterwards.

Needless to say, the other newcomers could experience a little strangeness while feeling the usual warmth of the Senotome squadron.

Because after that, Roger Shaozo did not return to the Yokohama base with the team.

Before he even reached the North Kanto Absolute Defense Line, Roger Shaozo said goodbye to Squadron Leader Izu.

This time, even Lieutenant Hasase didn't hold him too long.

Although Lieutenant Munakata still pretended to be heartless, saying things like "You might as well just sit down in Tokyo and go down, you don't have to hide anything" that the newcomers didn't understand at all, and then she was taught a good lesson by Lieutenant Hasase who pounced on her for some reason, but it seemed to be just a simple lively atmosphere.

Isn't he doing something that only he can accomplish?

Most of the newcomers think so, only Akane Suzumiya is slightly different. But she is not to blame, because Roger Shaozuo obviously said a few more words to her than to others in the "meeting time" just now.

Although it was the expected "say hello to Liang Gong for me" and the like, Liang Gong Akane didn't think it was just a simple politeness, after all, she had actually noticed that the sister of the CP general in this battle should have been there in person, but then apparently for some special reasons, my sister found some dignified excuses to apply for recusal.

Maybe Roger Shaozo's side, is there also any reason why he is reluctant to return to the Yokohama base?

The cheerful Akane Tsuyomiya didn't waste too much time on this matter, the first battle went well, the rank of second lieutenant was successfully obtained, all the comrades were safe and sound, and there was a chance to watch the human heroes up close...... With this series of happy things, it is too easy to dilute the few girly sentimentalities in her.

……

……

"Why don't you just take the opportunity to find a step back to Yokohama? Or are you embarrassed to go to Tokyo in front of Hasase Mizugetsu. DG is still dutifully sarcastic.

This level of malice didn't affect Roger much, and he was clearly moving in the exact opposite direction. "Maybe we should go to Sado Island, it's a bit strange this time the BETA is moving."

In theory, he's right.

After synthesizing the detailed information obtained by Xiangyue Xihu, Roger really didn't understand why the BETA would launch this attack.

Today's DG already has the ability to shield the BETA perception, and in the same way, even if Xiangyue Xihu occasionally activates the supercomputer power from the MF world, he will find the DG in advance for necessary shielding and the like. Especially since Bai Yinwu made the prediction on November 11, whether it was him Roger or Xiangyue Xihu, they deliberately "shut down" to reduce uncertainty and observe the effect of the prediction......

In this case, what exactly drives BETA?

The goal of Sado Island BETA is Yokohama, a detail that Takeshi Baiyin has repeatedly emphasized. His memory is vague in some respects, but he certainly mentions details such as the BETA landing, the fierce battle with the Imperial Army, and then the dispersion of the group to regroup and advance in the direction of Yokohama.

Because of this, the Yokohama base was on alert on the day of his world.

It shouldn't be that Xiangyue Xihu is hurting others and not benefiting himself, right?

Roger was really a little uncertain on his side, especially in the past two years, he still knew more or less about the four plans.

If you think about it more carefully, in fact, not only Xiangyue Xihu is unreliable, but even DG may have quietly reached some secret deal with someone, and similar things have not happened. It was obvious that both sides of the deal valued their respective interests above anything else, and Chen Yi had already been sacrificed......

"You're thinking too much." DG interrupted someone's further expansion.

"The more you say that, the more I think you're stealing the bell." Someone returns the salute.

Then, Roger re-entered the Niigata area.

The battlefield had been cleared by the engineering troops, and even in the areas that had not been cleared, there were a large number of people running back and forth, which made it difficult for Roger to come forward openly.

Although with his current status, no matter where he appears, he will not be subject to confidentiality or anything like that. But he's a human hero after all, isn't he?

The little girls of the Senotome squadron are already so enthusiastic today that Suase Mizugetsu wants to beat people, they still have more opportunities to contact heroes than ordinary people, and Senotome herself is still a hero unit. In this case, it is impossible to resist the star effect, and it is conceivable what the inevitable result will be if Roger openly appears in the ordinary engineer unit.

So, let's cross the sea first, right?

Casually follow the traces of a group of beta landings, with DG with you, there is nothing wrong with diving to the bottom of the sea with your bare hands, and you can also observe the BETA footprints by the way, as well as the corpses of the BETA that fell into the sea under the bombardment of the fleet and could not be handled by the engineer troops.

You can give it to DG to swallow, inspect, and wait for the rabbit to see if there is a beta on Sado Island to carry out the recovery operation.

Among the BETA habits mastered by the human side now, there is no need to emphasize the recovery of corpses, this thing Roger knew in 97 - well, he was reminded in Tieyuan back then to remember it deeply, theoretically this thing 96 Jingu Division instructor must have talked about in class - but since Beta had never conducted a cross-sea operation before 98, whether some research results need to be overturned or improved now is still a relatively new topic.

Beta doesn't have a lot of cold to water, and it's easy to put away corpses on land, so will they make a special trip under the sea?

The answer is yes.

Roger didn't even have to wait long for a small number of betas to appear from the direction of Sado Island.

It was obviously impossible for these guys to land and go to Yokohama, so Roger didn't take the initiative or take the initiative, but just watched Beta drag the body in the direction of HIVE, planning to follow behind to see some excitement and so on.

By the way, these corpses that were dragged away by the BETA were all disposed of by DG beforehand. Previously, Roger used some inhuman abilities when dealing with the light species, so since these things were observed and memorized by the unknown BETA before he died, and the entity was dragged to Sado Island, it was equivalent to providing information to HIVE, so DG had searched it in advance.

This kind of caution is a must, although the main quest has now been opened, but the evolution speed of the BETA is still unknown, and Bai Yinwu doesn't even have the memory of the actual battle with the BETA, from this point of view, it is not only Xiangyue Xihu who is disappointed.

As long as that traverser can bring more useful information, it doesn't need to be the weakness of the BETA, as long as the BETA is not so strong in some aspects, he Roger can handle the rest alone!

But now that the protagonist of the plane has been disappointed, everything has to be done according to the original process.

So Roger reluctantly walked back to Sado Island, and then, as expected, found nothing.

No, it can't be said that nothing was found.

Although he has not really penetrated into any of HIVE in the past two years, he has basically been able to go around the periphery, and the conclusions of long-range observation are not too many, and there is basically no big difference from the existing information in the possession of human beings.

But here on Sado Island, it's clearly different!

Not to mention anything else, Sado Island HIVE, which is now marked as the fourth stage, has observed Roger at the moment with more BETA than in the data, and conservatively estimates that there is a difference of nearly 50%, which is not a small number.

A level 4 HIVE, the number of BETA is in the hundreds of thousands. Suddenly, there are tens of thousands of more legions, and if there is another large-scale landing, it will not be a problem to directly threaten Tokyo again, and it will probably not be a problem to drive straight to the Yokohama base. So the crux of the matter is to investigate what is attracting BETA in the Yokohama direction?

"If you want to go back, just say it, why are you looking for so many reasons?" After stepping back on the ground in Niigata, DG's routine lecture began.

There was no need to answer such words, so Roger pretended not to hear and hurried away.

"But if you go back to the Yokohama base now, you may not find anyone."

The latter sentence is a bit valuable, simply put, it's time for the comprehensive tactical make-up exam of the 207B detachment, so the battle otome squadron doesn't care. From Xiangyue Xihu to the instructor of the Divine Palace, as well as the plane and his harem, it should not be inside the base now, but on a small island in a nearby routine examination place.

"If you want to see the excitement, not only do you have to find the right one, but also get it early."

This is the summary made by the DG at the end of the intelligence.
