Volume 1 The Lost Wings Chapter 1 XXII

The huge floating battleship with a total length of more than 400 meters and a total weight of more than 70,000 tons moved.

The six-base jet engine in the tail spat out blue-white flames, propelling the massive hull forward slowly.

“…… The 37th Mobile Brigade commanded the landing force to make an emergency attack. At all costs, the enemy ship must be suppressed in fifteen minutes. The 19th Airborne Squadron immediately organized the evacuation of all personnel aboard the Jewel Princess. If the lifesaving barge can be driven away, drive away immediately! ”

"Yes! Yes, sir. ”

"Norman, Thor, Ellen, the remnants of the thieves are handed over to you. After the clearance is completed, escort the life-saving barge away. ”

"Understood!"

"Brother Safir ...... Lieutenant Colonel, what about you? ”

There was Ellen's worried gaze from the side.

"Me?" Angelus spread his wings, and the pitch-black wings that exuded a dark metallic luster suddenly added a bit of solemnity to him, "I will follow the Marines to suppress the enemy ships. Time is running out, act now! ”

"Yes!"

Like a sharp arrow off the string, Angelus plunged headlong into the pirate's assault machine formation. In the next moment, the flash of a huge blade of light and a magic cannon filled the entire airspace. And later, in a few seconds apart, three lines of silver-white light tore through the line of air thieves. Begin a more thorough and precise sweep.

……

“…… Lieutenant Colonel, the assault landing force Spiral Blade has successfully landed. ”

"Understood. Follow-up support units followed. Is the blasting specialist in place? ”

"Technical Captain Erich Manstein has landed with the Spiral Blade...... This is where the landing is located. A small model of a ship suddenly appeared in front of Angelus's eyes. At the back of the ship, an area is marked blue to represent our side. "It is expected to arrive at the engine room in seven minutes. The landing was met with almost no organized resistance, except for a few automatic turrets. Intelligence obtained through electronic warfare indicates that most of the pirates are massing towards the underside of the ship. There is a probability that the location of the assembly is a large hangar, more than seventy-three ......"

"Contact the 37th Mobile Brigade. Beware of pirate breakouts...... No! If the pirates put on a breakthrough posture, take the initiative to let them leave! ”

"Lieutenant Colonel! How do you ......"

"Uruka! It is impossible to annihilate Barbossa with the current combat power! And the pirate's strongest combat power, Alvet, did not show up! Once the 'Executioner' rises into the air, the situation will be unfavorable to our side, and the current combat effectiveness of the Shoshi troops is far from enough to fight the 'Executioner'! ”

As an instructor of the 37th Experimental Unit, Angelus was well aware of the combat effectiveness of the 37th Experimental Unit. The three rookie newcomers who have only undergone half a year of intensive training are far from meeting the requirements of a qualified Xiangshi in any aspect.

"But ......"

"Uruka Technical Lieutenant Colonel! Execute the command! All the consequences are at my own risk! ”

“…… Yes, sir. After a half-silence, Uruka spat out two words with difficulty, (...... This big idiot! Rotten good guy...... And as she reached out to switch the communication frequency, Angrus's sharp voice came from the communicator.

"Don't worry, Uruka. I know the small actions of those second ancestors. They can't deal with me just by their indiscriminate methods! ”

Communication was cut off from the other side.

"You big bastard! He knows everything and lets others worry about him! ”

After a brief moment of surprise, Uruka slammed his fist into the communicator.

"What's wrong? Aunt. An innocent voice interjected from the side at this time, "That, that, what's going on?" …… Woo! Woo! ”

Isha staggered over, and the god sent the ghost to put the two words that had been reciting in her heart on her lips

“…… What's the 'thing'!? Little girl! What did you call me just now! ”

Uruka, who was holding back her breath, grabbed her. Then he put his hands together and ravaged her little face vigorously. Obviously, Uruka was stimulated by the sound of "Big Mom" just now.

"Woo! Wow Tu ......" (Let go of me!) Let go of me! )

And just as Uruka was "discussing" with Isha who the "Big Mom" was, the Spiral Blade of the Assault Landing Force had successfully opened the way to the engine room.

The squad commander with the captain's armband quietly glanced into the hidden hatch, then made a throwing motion with his palm in his hands.

The soldiers behind him immediately understood. A round grenade silently rolled through the crack in the door into the cabin. With a dull thud, a little cloudy white smoke leaked through the crack in the door.

One, two, three.

After counting three times in his mind, the team commander rolled and slammed open the hidden hatch and stormed the cabin. The soldiers behind him jumped up and quickly rushed into the cabin.

The cabin was empty.

"Safety!"

The squad commander raised one hand above his head and shook his arm a few times with his fingers outstretched. (Sign language: vigilance, attention)

The soldiers immediately divided into two groups, one to guard the hatch and the other to search the cabin.

The squad commander pressed the communication button on the outside of the helmet: "This is Beta Squad 4, which has occupied the engine room. This is the fourth squad of Beta, which has occupied the engine room......" A soldier wearing a cross plum insignia on his arm stood up slightly and gestured to the squad commander with a fist. “…… Dangerous explosives have been detected. Dangerous explosives have been detected. ”

"Understood! Beta Squad 4 stands by on standby. Wait for the follow-up troops. ”

"Stand by and understand." The squad commander ended the communication and turned to the soldier who was checking the explosives, "How's it going?" Is it possible to do advanced treatment? ”

“…… It is a timed detonation device that is triggered at a timed time...... It was erected in a hurry, and even most of the detonating devices were not well hidden, not very fine. However, the slightest shock can cause an explosion......"

"Can you unload the bomb along with the stuff behind it?"

“…… I'm afraid not. The soldier took off his helmet and lay on all fours to observe carefully, "This should be...... It should be installed directly above the reactor. If you want to unload the whole thing together...... The reactor will first explode because the outer wall will shatter. And ......"

A crashing vibration came from somewhere in the hull. The numbers on the countdown display suddenly jumped.

The soldier's face turned pale in an instant. It wasn't until the numbers on the display stabilized again that he raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat and continued: "...... And the slightest shock may directly lead to an explosion. ”

“…… Is it ......" The squad commander's face also turned ugly in an instant. Apparently he also realized that the Grim Reaper had quietly walked past them just now, "...... Maintain close monitoring...... Liaison with the command and report the situation. ”

"Yes!"

……

“…… Any shock can cause an explosion!? ”

Uruka was shocked, and Bonlaide was equally dumbfounded.

"Technical Captain Manstein is trying to defuse the bomb, it will take some time. The countdown to the explosion is currently seven minutes and thirty-four seconds......"

After a brief shock, Uruka immediately calmed down: "Contact the Elfa team and ask them to suppress the bridge as soon as possible." What about the evacuation on the cruise ship...... Ten more minutes! No, five minutes, please......"

"The triggered delayed initiation device is initiated by an electrical signal...... Signal...... Holographic scanning! Send the scan data over! Stunned, Bonrider suddenly came back to his senses.

Uruka also thought at the same time: "Yes! Fast! Holographic scanning! Holographic scanning in the highest definition! Just find that detonation line! ”

After just a few seconds, a huge amount of holographic scan information began to be sent back. However, before the two magicians could begin to use their instruments for analysis, Captain Manstein's communication came first: "Sir, there is bad news. ”

"The pirates used old powder bombs. Gunpowder belongs to a branch of herbalism, its composition is not very stable, in addition to the current stimulation of the initiating device, the rise in temperature will cause the internal components of gunpowder to oxidize violently in a short period of time, and then cause explosion. Even if the detonator is removed immediately, the increasing temperature of the Magic Furnace will detonate the explosives......"

“…… What about recommendations? Uruka was unusually calm at the moment.

"Technical support on knowledge is needed. Major Zhang Zhi, who was stationed in the 1st Fleet, was very good at gunpowder weapons. However, he has now returned to Valhasa on vacation and cannot be contacted......"

"Are there any of his friends who know his personal tastes?"

"It's not very clear. However, it is said that there is a magician from the experimental unit who has a very close relationship with him. The two often go to bars together for drinks......"

“…… I know who that man is. Uruka's expression became more serious, and she operated the magic guide terminal with her hands quickly. All kinds of data and information continued to refresh the virtual condensation screen, "Belon Bonryder, that person is you." ”

"Ahaha...... Ha, haha......" Bonrider scratched his head with a sneer, and reluctantly nodded in acknowledgement, "That's me...... But the guy was fiddling with chemical-powered weapons. I don't know anything about those toys. ”

"Damn! There was no information on gunpowder in Sararod. ”

Uruka slammed his fist hard into the terminal.

"How much time is left for the explosion?"

“…… Six minutes and seventeen seconds, sixteen seconds, and fifteen seconds......"
