Chapter 22: Encountering the Enemy

After Qin Lun and Alex ran to the mecha cabin, they found that the ordnance officers and ground crew on the ship were all in place, and more than half of the Apostles and their partner Guise flight officers had also arrived, and everyone's faces were filled with a little excitement and nervousness before the battle.

Unlike the Faith, the Attack is an independent warship, and the small size of the Attack is expensive, and it is impossible for the soldier mecha to have a separate cabin. All 50 Soldier Mechs stood in two columns, with only a simple metal armor wall in the middle, and the back of the mechs was mounted directly on small ejection rails.

Not only does the Attack look like a submarine from the old century of Earth, but even the way the mecha catapults like those nuclear submarines. There are more than 50 hatches on the shell of the middle section of the battleship, which will be opened in batches when ejected, and the soldiers and mechs will be ejected in turn.

Of course, the ejection trajectory of the independent battleship does not have the performance of traveling through faster-than-light space-time, but it is only a high-load ejection, which catapults the soldiers at high speed to an area of about one or two hundred light-seconds away from the battleship, allowing them to fight within the radar command range of the battleship.

Qin Lun nodded at the excited young ordnance officer Sherlock, then grabbed the drawbridge and slid down to the spherical cockpit, where he was sent into the soldier's body. After activating the mech, he immediately connected to the battleship's main control room.

Unlike the Faith, the Independence Battleship must be in place once it is in combat mechanics to receive information about the enemy situation in the mech. If you need to attack, you will directly accept the captain's order to eject, and you don't need to attack, just wait quietly in the mecha for the alert to be lifted.

"Quiet...... Robin, how's it going? As soon as he entered the mecha, Qin Lun heard the chaotic sound of inquiries from the communication channel.

These voices belong to the Apostles who have already entered the mech, but the Gise Pilot Officer who is in charge of cooperating with them has good discipline and will not speak without orders.

Hearing Qin Lun's voice, the other apostles suddenly realized something, and immediately quieted down. The Apostle was not a soldier after all, and he was used to working together in small teams in the past, so it is understandable to have such an appearance.

"The display of bioradar is not very clear, and now it is only known that there are more than ten dynamic targets in the detection range, and it is impossible to distinguish whether they belong to the enemy." Robin's soft voice rang in his ears.

"What about Dongyue's opinion?"

As the three apostles who need to stay on the ship most of the time, they have generally received brief training for their respective positions, and Robin has also been trained as a captain. It's just that at this time, the opinion of Fuyutsuki must be consulted, after all, she is the official lieutenant of Captain Marquez.

"Chief Qin Lun, I have two Jianyi to provide reference, one is to send two teams to approach the reconnaissance corresponding to the detected targets, and the other is to wait and see, waiting for those targets to enter the detection range of the momentum radar." Dongyue's voice was unremarkable, and as an experienced fleet lieutenant, this situation could no longer make her feel emotional.

"Wait for the target to come into the detection range of the momentum radar?" Dongyue's words were a little strange, but Qin Lun immediately understood. It turned out that it was not the Attack that detected the enemy target, but Robin himself.

As a bio-modified battleship, the Attack is different from other Guise warships, and is also based on the cloned samples of Robin, Sava and Bobby, and Jannamer's biological tissue as the material, equipped with some "parts" that can exert the ability of the three apostles to be replaced, and the biodetection radar is one of them.

Robin's own apostolic profession is that of a soul caller, and most of her apostolic skills cannot be used in this world. However, the powerful spiritual power that the evoker was able to communicate with the spirit body was brought in. With the cooperation of more powerful bioradar, Robin's detection range is two or three times farther than that of the Attack itself.

There is no need to say much about the role of detection distance in battle, which is also the main reason why Qin Lun built the three Robins to stay on the battleship at that time. Of course, the reliability of this new biological device has not been tested.

The first Jian yì given by Dongyue is actually the most normal mechanism for receiving enemies, while the second Jian yì is that the beautiful adjutant still has some doubts about Robin's ability. As small independent warships, they carry limited materials, and each sortie consumes a lot, and of course they don't attack if they can.

Thinking of this, Qin Lun's face sank, and he frowned and said, "Robin, I'll go out with Frank's two teams to have a look, and order the war room to start the attack mode!" ”

"Bang bang bang!" About ten hatches above the Attack were opened one after another, and ten soldiers burst into space with the catapult light and flames, quickly turning into ten small points of light and disappearing into the depths of the universe.

"Vera, Merry, and Phils, form a four-machine protection mode with me!" Alex's gentle voice came from the communication channel.

"Understood! Understand ......" channel quickly resounded with the calm voices of several other people.

Although the apostles are all captains of their respective crews, the relevant air tactics are still commanded by the Guise flight officer, after all, the apostles can master the air combat maneuvers in a short period of time, which does not mean that they have the talent of air combat command.

With Qin Lun's Seventeenth Fallen Angel as the core, the other four quickly formed a four-cornered formation to protect him like a cube. The men led by Frank followed them a short distance to their right, covering the flanks.

This is the two-person reconnaissance mode that the apostles came up with after many exercises, using Qin Lun's reconnaissance ability with another powerful shield.

Qin Lun has the detection ability of the Horn of the Horn, unlike Robin's large-range long-range psychic power detection that relies on bioradar, his Horn of the Horn is slightly closer, but it is more sensitive and more suitable for use on the mecha.

As for the shield apostles, there were two people in their team, both of whom were originally MT attributes, one was a second-order fire biao, and the other was Frank. Qin Lun brought Frank instead of the stronger Huo Biao, because he had the confidence to not cover, and it was also to train Frank.

If you do run into an enemy, it is likely that the other two alliances will chase after the apostolic team. They were there to defeat the team of Rangers and show their strength before poaching them from the Order Alliance.

Therefore, these people will not be the first to die, such a good opportunity to exercise, of course Qin Lun has to give Frank first.

After the two crew members ejected, they flew for nearly ten minutes, and finally saw the object detected by Robin, which was more than a dozen large insects like bumblebees, their wings glowed with a crystal shimmer, similar to the light flame that propelled the soldiers, sprinkling pieces of powder-like fluorescence in the starry sky.

"Alex, what is this?" Qin Lun passed the scene of his reconnaissance to several other companions through the silver screen.

"It's Zerg Napasa, Captain Robin is right, we're going to notify the Attack right away!" Alex looked at the big bug on the silver screen, his whole body was agitated, and his face suddenly turned ugly, "Sir, please be careful, these things are very difficult to entangle." ”

"This is Napasa? Doesn't it look like the projection image we see? Qin Lun raised his eyebrows, since that exercise knew that the Zerg was also nearby, Captain Marquez had sent some information to the apostles, so that they could distinguish the combat effectiveness of various Zerg on the battlefield.

Napasa, like the Black Crab, is a kind of Scout of the Zerg. It's just that the black crab is large and more suitable for long-distance cruising, while the napasa is a highly mobile patrol reconnaissance sapper. It's just that it seems that Captain Marquez's information is a little lagging behind, and after so many years, the Zerg has obviously changed a lot.

The discovery of the Zerg's scout sapper at this distance also means that Captain Márquez's previous judgment was not wrong, and the X-352 planet really has a Zerg base.

"Alex, if they see the soldiers, they won't have time to notify the Zerg on the planet." Qin Lun asked cautiously.

"Unlikely, the Zerg's bio-waves have a distance limit, they fly a bit far. Judging by conventional wisdom, this distance should not be too late to notify the Zerg on planet X-352. Alex thought for a moment and said flatly.

"Sir, do you want to destroy this Napasa?" Vera suddenly interjected and asked, "These bugs are highly mobile, no less than our half-biological mechs. Although the persistence is insufficient, it is no problem to hold on to the planet X-352. And there are a bit of a lot of them, and we only have two all-creature mechas, so it's impossible to miss one of them. ”

"Hehe, I remember mentioning in the information that the Zerg are fierce by nature, and as long as they subconsciously think that the enemy is not strong, they will not take the initiative to escape!" Qin Lun's eyes flashed, and he said with a smile, "Then let's give them an illusion and make them think that this is just a beautiful encounter with other wandering creatures in the universe!" ”

"Sir, you want to go it alone? It's dangerous......" Alex was startled and hurriedly dissuaded.

"The Faith and Márquez have high hopes for our apostle, and have provided us with such good soldiers. If you can't even solve a few Zerg scouts, won't it seem that everyone is too useless? ”

Qin Lun said with a light smile, "It's so decided, in the simulation training, it seems that everyone hasn't seen the unique abilities of our advent apostles, I'll make up for you now!" ”

As he spoke, the Seventeenth Fallen Angel burst out of the formation and pounced on the eight Napasas in the distance, who had not yet seen soldiers.

In the swift assault, the Jannamer biological armor plate on the back of the Seventeenth Fallen Angel's shoulder swelled violently, bulging high, shortening the legs, and thickening the muscles. At the same time, the jaw, which was already particularly hideous, protruded slightly forward, and the closed mouth suddenly opened, revealing a mouthful of feline fangs.

In an instant, the humanoid soldier mecha turned into a giant feline, and its toned muscles scurried around its body like a mouse.

What's even more amazing is that while the mecha is transforming, a trace of bloodthirsty light lights up in its eyes, and a layer of water ripple-like shadows flow all over its body, and its body quickly becomes transparent. In just a few seconds, the giant feline disappeared from everyone's radar screens, merging with the dark cosmic starry sky.

Qin Lun's second apostle replacement ability was finally revealed in front of everyone, the beast form of the seventeenth fallen angel - the Shadow Wind Leopard!
