Sixty soldiers of the Riptide Battalion dressed in "Barbarian" mechs sat in four rows facing each other on iron chairs. Their front hatches are open to each other, so that the two people who are chatting face-to-face can see each other's faces.

"Stand up, three minutes to eject ready!"

"Wow!" the soldiers stood up neatly, closed the hatch, turned around, and walked towards the catapult in an orderly manner.

"Equipment Inspection Status Report. ”

"The twelfth inspection is complete!"

"Check the 10th complete!"

The report is to be carried out once and will continue until the first one.

"Major, Major Angelina!"

"Huh?"

I was assisting the soldiers in checking their equipment when I suddenly heard my full name called. I glanced back and found that the soldier staring at the captain's epaulette was not from the second battalion.

"You are?"

"Sorry I forgot to introduce myself, I'm the battalion staff officer of the 1st Battalion, Hathaway Noah. ”

"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm a little busy here. ”

It turned out to be a battalion of people, no wonder it felt so familiar. I don't know what he's looking for me, but I don't have time to think about it now, because the catapult has already started calling me to prepare.

Seeing me turn around, Hathaway hurriedly said, "Major, can you give me a minute?"

After looking at the soldiers waiting in front of the catapult, he turned back to Hathaway and said, "Okay! ”

"Actually, on behalf of all the soldiers of the first battalion, I have come to thank you. What you do during the day on the roof of the ammunition depot ......"

It turned out that the shells I intercepted during the day not only saved a battalion, but all the people in this position.

The ammunition depot wasn't just a superficial storage of ammunition, the tunnels dug beneath it were like spider webs, hollowing out almost the entire underground of the position. And the support points of each aisle are arranged*, and the lead of the entire demolition company is the ammunition depot. As soon as the ammunition depot is detonated, everyone who stays here will be buried.

"Major!"

"Oh?"

"It's your turn!"

"I see. I replied to the rectifier urging me to board the plane, and then continued to say to Hathaway, "I'm sorry, we'll talk when the mission is over!"

"Oh!"

On the side of the catapult, my "fierce poison" has long been fixed on the catapult frame. He took the helmet handed over by the mechanic and put it on, used the escalator to quickly drill into the fuselage, and closed the hatch.

[Major!Can you hear me?]

"Hmm!"

[Clearance has been handed over, and the timing of the ejection is up to you.] ]

"Understood!"

The guards quickly cleared the field so as not to be accidentally injured by the air currents generated by the ejection of the "Lancers".

Angelina - Hussar - Poison, fire.

Like a glider, a lancer with a glider on its back shoulder could remain in the air for a long time until we flew to the air above the intended destination.

Caen, here we come!

Under the cover of night, the soldiers on the city defense did not seem to notice that we had crossed the walls of Caen. However, even if they found out, they had nothing to do before we landed. After all, because of the problem of elevation angle, those artillery pieces pose a fundamental threat to us in the air.

As soon as I landed, I spotted a soldier seconded from a battalion. Although they are all "barbarians", the outer armor of each unit is sprayed differently, and the same can be sewn out.

The soldier was now sitting on the ground like a big fat man.

"Soldiers?"

"I'm sorry, sir, my leg seems to be broken!"

The soldier said with a hint of crying.

It turned out that when the soldier landed, he did not grasp the reaction force deployment time of the air cushion, and the body was almost in direct contact with the ground. Just short legs, lucky enough for this soldier.

"Relax, relax. Can you try it, can you still stand up?"

"Stand...... Can't stand up!"

The soldier's voice trembled.

When the others landed, they were quickly approaching me.

"Unpack his gear. ”

A soldier came over and dismantled the weapons and ammunition from the "barbarians" and carried them on their backs.

"Don't ...... Don't leave me here. ”

"The RED team continued to advance towards the Doge's Palace, and the blue and gold teams set up positions on the spot to block reinforcements. ”

"Understood!"

"Follow me, Maurice. Empty the nearby streets of civilians. ”

"Yes!"

Once the war starts, accidental injuries cannot be avoided, and it is one of them to avoid some indifferent casualties as much as possible. The second is that the enemy may send shooters, if mixed with the civilians, will make everyone have some scruples in acting.

The other side

Sipke used his connections to send Lizzie into Caen, but because of the rearmament of the entire army of his heavy army, he did not catch up with the battle on the outer line of Caen. Otherwise, Sipke would really be Anna's captive again.

Because of the movement outside, Lizzie, who had just fallen asleep, did it again, and when she put on her coat and walked to the window to check, she happened to see the side face of "Fierce Poison".

"We are the ...... of the Riptide Battalion of the Imperial 501st Regiment. ”

Lizzy didn't hear what she was saying, but she could be sure it was a woman's voice coming from a PA, and it sounded unusually familiar to her.

She was tempted to continue looking, but the shaking of the ground forced her to crouch on the ground to keep her balance.

"We have no intention of endangering civilians in general, and what is happening now is caused by the hostile acts of your country. We Rapids Camp ......"

The lancer outside the window took a few steps forward, then taxied down the street to continue what he had just shouted.

"Is that her?"

Judging by the direction of the voice's movement, the female voice came from the body. Although it was not the same as the body seen in Catang, Lizzie could confirm that it was the girl sitting inside.

Lizzy had just finished changing her clothes when she heard a knock on the door.

It's Sipuk.

"Did you hear that, too?"

"Well, it's her. She was trying to persuade residents of a few nearby streets to leave. ”

"To do that, it's not exposing themselves in advance. Tell each other that they're here?"

Although she is grateful to Anna for doing this, Lizzy is a little unaware of Anna's approach.

"Who knows? It's kind of ironic, isn't it?"

The Empire and Britannia are at war, and in the end it is indeed a bit ironic that the Imperial soldiers are evacuating the civilians of Great Britannia.

Outside, on the street was a carriage prepared by Sipke, and Lizzie was on it almost empty-handed. In fact, there is nothing to take, and her stuff is basically left in Catang.

The two sat side by side, and as soon as the carriage pulled out of the intersection, the two of them saw Phyllis. Because of his fat body, it is really too conspicuous.

"Yo, Phyllis, do you want a ride. ”

Hearing that it was Sipke's voice, Phyllis hurriedly beckoned to the shadows, and several young girls walked out tremblingly.

"I just wanted to have a party at home, but it ended up being this kind of thing. By the way, where are you going?"

"Take refuge, in short, get out of here first. ”

"Really, do you want to hear from me? ”

"Of course it's the best!"

"Go to the south, it's a civilian area, and according to the old urine nature of the Imperial Army, they will fight as far away from civilians as possible. Phyllis said as she beckoned the girls into the carriage.

As a boy, Phyllis is still a gentleman, and he chooses to be the last one to get on the bus. Then, sitting among the girls, "I'll just say, follow Uncle Ben, I won't let you get hurt." ”

Lizzy and Sipke in front of them still kept throwing a lot of "hygiene balls".

"Boom !!"

A nearby bomb exploded, causing Phyllis to choke back the rest of his words. shouted, "These bastards don't even give me time to leave." ”

"Let's go!"

For the explosion, the girls could only cover their ears and lower their heads, snuggling up to each other.

Along the way, they encountered several more civilians who had fled. Of course, girls are the majority. After all, their weak bodies are not as fast as men, and in the face of life and death, not everyone can be a gentleman.

"Hello! My name is Leah Maliba. ”

"Sam!"

Everyone shook hands cordially and introduced themselves to each other. Even Phyllis did not show the arrogance of his nobility.

Until the carriage drove away, Lizzie's ears were squeaking. Sipke told her it was tinnitus caused by the loud explosion.
