The mission to Settlement Ten was not an official order, and the large forces of the Storm Corps were still stationed in the area of Dawning City, guarding against threats from inside and outside the Alliance, and by the way, bringing sprouts, so the spring did not bring many people.

In addition to the more than 300 veteran players, the remaining 200 or so members of the legion who have arrived at settlement 10 are newcomers who have only joined the group for less than two months.

After meeting with the manager, the Commander of the Spring returned to the vicinity of the save point, preparing to save a file for himself first, and then go back to the group to talk to everyone about the next step.

For example, how to play this scene that lures the snake out of the hole.

Then at this moment, he happened to bump into me, who had just returned from a mission outside, and his eyes suddenly lit up, and he stepped forward to stop this unlucky guy.

"Old Black! I've got a huge power armor here, can you wear it? ”

When I was stopped, I looked the darkest and confused, and I couldn't figure out what nerves were coming from this spring.

But seeing that eager expression, he instinctively became alert.

“…… I don't wear it. ”

Seeing that Lao Hei had grown his IQ and was not fooled, the spring commander hurriedly coaxed.

"Don't! The same power armor for the manager! This thing is not for sale, the opportunity must not be lost, and it will not come again! ”

I smiled and cursed.

“MMP！ Do you have good things to think of Lao Tzu? It must be the work of some giant chicken pit. ”

The Commander of the Springs was heartbroken.

"You're slandering me, when did I not think of you with a good thing?"

I smiled most unimpressedly.

"Hehe, which time?"

The air was quiet for a moment.

The spring commander scratched his ears and cheeks for a long time, and finally smiled at him awkwardly.

I sighed, raised two fingers, and gave him a step.

“…… 2000 credits. ”

The spring commander spoke without hesitation.

"Deal."

I'm the blackest: "......"

MMP！

It always feels like it's going to be less!

……

In Iwayama City, in a half-collapsed building, more than a dozen Willant people wearing urban camouflage uniforms are sitting in front of the terminal meticulously busy.

Since Wyatt was stationed in the area of Rock Mountain City, the General Staff of the Southern Corps has transferred equipment and many people one after another, and transformed this abandoned building into a temporary base for the "Guillotine" operation group to formulate a more detailed battle plan.

With the support of local marauders, the whole plan went well.

However, this is not enough.

Not only did they have to hand out their weapons to the men who were robbing with iron rifles, but they also had to teach them how to use them and how to fight more efficiently.

And for these things, you have to rely on the help of "professionals".

Fortunately, the eastward expansion of the Eastern Army came in handy in the dark line left by the Free State.

With the help of funds provided by the Southern Corps, Captain Kondravan easily met their request, sending weapons along with a group of experienced instructors.

Some of them were soldiers of the Eastward Expansion who had participated in the Battle of Luoxia, and some were officers who had been exiled to the Free State during the expeditionary force.

It is unrealistic to give the Marauders the combat power of a regular army in such a short period of time, but at least it allows them to play the value of cannon fodder.

If they alone can take out the management of the alliance, it is naturally the best.

No, they still have weapons of mass destruction as their last cards.

To this end, the General Staff has prepared two sets of action plans.

The first plan was to arrange for marauders to disguise themselves as outcasts and carry nuclear warheads into the settlements, and then arrange for two other teams of 1,000 men to attack Settlement 10.

As for the second option, it is to shoot down the transport plane on which it is traveling with man-portable anti-aircraft missiles when the administrators leave settlement 10.

Both options have their advantages and disadvantages, but Wyatt is still not satisfied.

He hopes to make the plan as foolproof as possible and try to leave no hidden dangers.

The operational meeting was discussed for a whole morning.

After the meeting, Wyatt walked over to the broken window and lit a cigarette to his mouth.

At this moment, an intelligence officer sitting in front of the terminal suddenly pushed away his chair and stood up, shouting in surprise.

"There's news!"

Hearing the movement behind him, Wyatt immediately snuffed out the cigarette he had just smoked twice, hurried behind the intelligence officer, and said in a hurry.

"What's the situation?"

With an excited expression on his face, the intelligence officer handed the headset to the commander and opened his mouth to report.

"We listened to the news from the radio station of Settlement No. 1! According to what is on the news, Settlement 10 will build a new extension of the northern forest area! The Coalition Administrators intend to visit the area in person, and the time for the inspection is scheduled for nine o'clock tomorrow morning! ”

Standing next to Wyatt, the heavily armored lieutenant Og frowned.

"New extension of the city? Just that settlement of just over 2,000 people? ”

The intelligence officer nodded excitedly.

"That's right! According to the news, the new outreach was created to address the continued influx of Borneo and Wielant refugees...... I've already recorded the content! You put on your headphones and I'll put them on for you! ”

Settlement 10 does not have its own radio station, and the source of news is Settlement 1, which is hundreds of kilometers away.

As he spoke, the agent tapped twice on the touchscreen and replayed the recording he had just heard.

Wyatt, who put on the headphones, frowned and listened to the recording from beginning to end, and his serious expression gradually turned into joy.

After a few moments, he smiled and handed the headphones to Og's hand.

"It seems that even the heavens are on our side...... The previous two sets of action plans are no longer applicable, call our fighters now, I want to meet again! ”

Ogur, who took the headphones, looked slightly hesitant.

He didn't put the headphones on immediately, but looked at Wyatt and whispered.

"I always felt like things were a little weird...... We've been listening to the news of Settlement No. 1 before, but we haven't heard any information about it. ”

"It's not surprising, Settlement 10 doesn't often appear on the news channel of Settlement 1."

Looking at Og with worry written on his face, Wyatt said with a smile.

"And that guy who was so happy with his achievements was also wandering around like this when he was in Weifu City. It is reasonable to speculate that there is nothing to visit in Settlement 10, and the local officials, in order to make him happy, draw a cake for him so that he can cheat the funds...... This also makes logical sense. ”

Og smiled bitterly.

With what he knew about the Alliance, it was more like what would happen to the Southern Legion.

However, seeing that the chief had said so firmly, he didn't say anything more.

After all, it was the same when I was in Xifan Harbor.

He always felt that it was not reasonable to bet on a pack of unfed white-eyed wolves, but the end result was not bad.

Even if they did not bet on Absec, they still got the port of Saifan from the civilian clique, as well as the legitimate claim to fight in Borneo.

Maybe it's because I'm thinking too much......

Looking at the deputy who couldn't let go of his heart, Wyatt put his hand on his shoulder.

“…… Listen, Ogy, we can't wait until we're 100% sure before we do it, and if you're worried that the boiled duck will fly away, we can split up an air defense unit to the west of Settlement 10 and ambush them on the way to Settlement 9 and keep an eye on their transport planes. ”

Og smiled bitterly and nodded.

"Yes."

……

The next morning, when the sky was dark, the northern gate of settlement 10 suddenly opened.

A full six military off-road vehicles drove out from behind the door and drove quietly out into the wilderness to the north.

Although the movement of the convoy was low-key enough, it still did not escape the eyes of the marauders who had been hiding outside the settlement all night to keep watch.

Kicked by his companion next to him, the minion lying behind the dirt slope woke up and quickly took out his binoculars and looked in the direction of the convoy.

I saw that the off-road vehicle was full of soldiers wearing exoskeletons, including the machine gun position on the roof of the vehicle.

The appearance of being armed to the teeth makes people shudder.

If it was normal times, their rabble would definitely not dare to fight the idea of such a convoy, but now it is not usual, and they have the support of the Southern Army behind them.

Just win!

These cars and equipment are theirs!

Two pairs of greedy eyes stared at the convoy, and the marauders lying behind the dirt slope muttered to each other.

"In the middle! The fourth car from the front! Did you see that? ”

"I'll see...... Blue Power Armor! ”

"It's him! That's him! ”

"Call the boss!"

After confirming the target, one of the marauders quickly pulled out his walkie-talkie and reported his discovery to the leader in ambush in the rear.

And at the same time, twenty kilometers away near the wooded area.

Huntclaw, hiding in an abandoned town, has a sinister smile on his face.

When he first came here to ambush last night, he happened to bump into several mutated tigers, and with the help of the modified combat prosthesis, he disemboweled them all in three strokes and divided them by two.

At this moment, he is like a humanoid claw of death, and he can't wait for the battle to come.

If it weren't for the fact that the financiers of the Southern Legion had to make that battle plan, he would have wanted to rush into the settlement with his people last night and kill him with a lot of joy!

“…… That guy is mine, don't rob me. ”

Looking at the bloodthirsty appearance of the leader, the little leaders standing on the side couldn't help but shudder, and immediately responded with a smile on their faces.

"Don't worry, boss, we won't rob you!"

"We'll help you hold his hands down!"

Huntpaw sneered and said in a hoarse voice.

"I don't need you to make a move, I'm going to fight him alone!"

This will be a battle for him to become a god.

He shook his right hand and looked at the claws that popped out of the back of his hand, and an intoxicated smile appeared on his face.

At the same time, on the off-road vehicle speeding north, I, dressed in canned food, moved my neck with the blackest difficulty, and couldn't help but curse.

"...... What do managers usually wear? Fool Nima! ”

This Nima is not the one worn by managers at all!

Wrong!

To be precise, this thing can't be called power armor at all! It's a completely skin-modified exoskeleton!

In fact, it is.

The standard for power armor is a nuclear power battery, and this kind of disposable iron bump is naturally impossible.

And with someone's thrifty personality, it is unlikely that his equipment will be used for such a bait scheme.

Although power armor has three defense capabilities, I have not heard of any power armor that can carry a nuclear bomb.

It's not so bad to have money.

As early as when he was in Weifu City, Chu Guang knew that someone had his own idea, and at that time, he arranged for the Boulder Military Industry to use the K-10 "Iron Wall" exoskeleton as a framework to copy a reduced version of the P-10A "Order" power armor.

And the so-called imitation is basically an imitation of the shape.

Including four Raptor-1 supercharged thrusters and a Hippo-1 portable fusion reactor, all the power components were removed, and after replacing them with metallic hydrogen batteries, they were painted with Klein Blue.

The appearance of the whole set of armor looks exactly the same as what Chu Guang usually wears, as for the performance or something, needless to say, they are completely two things, not on the same channel at all.

Listening to my darkest complaints in the communication channel, the spring commander said with a hippie smile.

"You don't care if it's or not, you can't see it from the outside anyway."

The ass was turned upside down, and I pulled the corners of my mouth in the darkest and complained.

"So what exactly is our mission?"

The spring brother was silent for a while, and then said with a sigh.

“…… You've done this task so far, can't you see it? ”

As I was talking, I suddenly noticed that the brethren who were riding in the same car as him were wearing the classic "Type 5" exoskeleton of the Alliance, and the exoskeleton also had the same livery and badge as the Guards Corps.

And so on –

The same style as the Guards Corps!

Previously, his attention had been on the crumbling armor, and he hadn't even noticed the equipment on the others.

It was only then that he suddenly reacted.

"! Could it be—"

Seeing that he had already guessed it, the spring commander smiled and revealed the mystery.

"Small things, when the fight starts later, you are responsible for attracting firepower, just don't die too quickly, don't worry about the rest...... Of course, it's best to survive. ”

I'm the blackest: "......@#%!" ”

Listening to the curse voice, Izumi also felt a little embarrassed, and coughed and said.

"Alright...... Further ahead is the battle zone, where we've detected Marauder activity nearby, and radio silence is now on. ”

"Good luck!"

At the same time as the words fell, the spring water turned off the wheat for the whole team, and the old black's cursing was instantly broken.

At the same time, at the Iwasan City Action Base 100 kilometers away, an intelligence officer sitting in front of the terminal suddenly frowned.

He stood up from his seat and reported to Og, who was standing by the window not far away.

"We've detected a radio signal ......"

Og immediately looked at him and said.

"Can you parse the content?"

The man's face was grimacing.

"Yes, yes...... But I couldn't understand what they were saying. ”

“……”

Og was speechless for a moment and looked out the window.

He always had a sense of foreboding in his heart, but it was too late to make adjustments at this juncture.

Wyatt had already gone with all the fighters to the vicinity of the ambush site.

Including the nuclear bomb they bought from an arms dealer.

Meanwhile, a container ship carrying 20,000 soldiers was on its way to the port of French fries.

Whether or not the "guillotine" operation they planned can go as smoothly as planned, a new war is already on the way.

Hope it all goes well.

He prayed silently in his heart.

At the same time, on the coastline west of Settlement Ten, a man who should not have been here was inspecting under the escort of a group of guards.

This person is none other than Chu Guang.

After throwing the task of suppressing the bandits to the spring, he took Lu Bei to the outside of the settlement early in the morning.

After all, no one can guarantee that there will be no marauders or Southern legions in the settlement.

Until the plan to lure the snake out of the hole is successful, it is better for him not to show his face.

And to be honest, the scale of Settlement 10 is too small, and there is really nothing worth seeing, but there are many landmarks worth noting outside the settlement.

For example, on the beach not far from the wall of the settlement, a wrecked ship covered with seagrass runs aground.

The ship was so intact that the anti-rust paint on the surface hadn't even fallen off, except for a huge hole in the bottom of the ship.

The ship's name was the Gold Coast, and it was the same ship that the South China Sea Alliance had sunk by the Torch Church.

At that time, the ship planned to land in the northeastern coastal area of Haiya Province and set up a research station to observe the situation of the "heavenly kingdom" of the Torch Church, but before it could land, it was suddenly attacked by aquatic mutants.

Later, with the development of the Death Coast by the alliance and the rise of the seabed salvage business, the wrecked ship was also fished up by the scavengers of Settlement Ten and dragged to the shore.

The South China Sea Alliance had plans to buy it back and transform it into a museum to warn future generations, but considering the small size of the island, it was finally decided to build the museum in Settlement 10.

This is also the fulfillment of the last wish of the Golden Coast and the crew.

Workers at Settlement 10 are currently cleaning up seaweed and shellfish from the ship, and construction of the museum will probably begin when this work is completed.

In addition to the ruins of the research ship Gold Coast, a few dozen kilometers to the southwest from here, there is a glittering coast.

Chu Guang had previously learned from Li Jinrong that the place was called the Luminous Sea, and it was said to be a crater left by a radioactive weapon during a strategic bombing mission against the mutant slime brood.

It is said that two hundred years ago, the glowing ocean would have been even more spectacular, with an endless stream of light filling the entire Dead Coast.

But now there is not much radioactive material left there.

According to the investigation of the scientific expedition team, the current luminescence phenomenon of the luminous sea is mainly caused by the aggregation of some mutated shellfish organisms that like radioactive elements.

And for the research of those mutated organisms, the biological research institute of the alliance has been established.

When he first heard the news, Chu Guang was actually a little disappointed.

He had expected to be able to fish out of that place for some pre-war equipment or helium-triple fuel, but he didn't expect to find only a pile of shells.

Hopefully, one day in the future, the biological research institute led by Hea will bring him new surprises.

But that's another story.

Walking a little further along the beach, Chu Guang saw a small wooden house located on the beach.

The owner of the hut built a shelter from the rain and a simple fishing boat dock out of wood.

This is supposed to be a supply depot for local fishermen to shelter from the storm or something like that.

Chu Guang saw an old man drying fishing nets next to the wooden house.

Just when he saw the old man, the old man obviously saw him too, and the whole person was stunned.

Seeing that others had noticed him, Chu Guang didn't deliberately hide, but walked straight up.

The expression on the old man's face was slightly panicked, but there was also a bit of excitement and curiosity.

"You...... Could it be Mr. Manager? ”

Chu Guang said with a smile.

"I didn't expect you to recognize it."

The old man smiled embarrassedly and scratched the back of his head with a dry hand.

"You're kidding, there's anyone here who doesn't know you."

Chu Guang smiled and continued to ask.

"You're from the Prancing Horse."

The old man nodded and said with a smile.

"The town of Liuxi in the province of Prancing Horse is also on the seaside, and half a year ago, when I was fishing, I fiddled with the radio and heard the announcement, so I came here to take a look, and then moved my home."

Chu Guang said in a chatty tone.

"How did you feel when you came? How does it compare to where you used to be? ”

The old man said with heartfelt emotion.

"That's so much better, at least the fish you catch are your own, you don't have to give it to the mayor's family, and the market on the side of the road has trucks to collect it regularly, so you don't have to worry about selling it."

"It's not just the fish, my two grandsons and granddaughters also go to the school in the settlement, and the teacher teaches arithmetic and writing every day, and I don't charge money, and sometimes I feel weird and embarrassed...... Textbooks have to cost some money, and we don't have them. ”

Looking at the old man's simple appearance, Chu Guang said with a smile.

"Don't be embarrassed, your grandchildren will be the pillars of the alliance in the future, and the future of the alliance will depend on them.

"Hey, you're laughing again," the old man smiled with a red face, "How can those little guys in my family have that kind of talent, it would be good if they didn't cause trouble for the alliance in the future." ”

"That's not good, there's still a long way to go." Chu Guang smiled, and then continued, "By the way, old man, is there anything inconvenient in your life?" ”

"Inconvenient place...... I really can't think of that," the old man thought for a moment, frowning, "but I've heard the drivers of the fish in the market complain that quite a few marauders have recently migrated from the Prancing Horse Province, and they now have to take two security guards with them on the way." ”

Chu Guang asked with a move in his heart.

"Do you know where they're hiding?"

The old man shook his head.

"Truth be told, these guys are like cockroaches, everywhere, and not just in one place...... You want to know exactly where they're hiding, it's really not that easy. ”

Speaking of this, the old man smiled embarrassedly and said.

"But then again, those house-raiders are all over the wasteland, and it's not just here...... Compared to other settlements, our settlements are safe enough! ”

Looking at the satisfied smile on the old man's face, Chu Guang said with a smile.

"You may think it's enough, but in my opinion it's not enough. But don't worry, old man, we're here to solve this problem! ”

While saying this, Lu Bei suddenly walked over from not far away and said in a deep voice.

"Sir, we have found a group of unidentified militants to the west...... They were armed with an exoskeleton of an unidentified model, as well as an off-road vehicle with a missile mount mounted. Judging by the shape of the radar on the missile launcher, it is suspected to be an anti-aircraft missile. ”

Chu Guang's expression was slightly strange.

"How many of them are there?"

Lu Bei said in a deep voice.

"There's probably a company that's been discovered."

Chu Guang thought for a moment and said.

"Take me over and have a look."

Lu Bei hesitated, but seeing that Chu Guang didn't plan to discuss with him, he finally nodded.

"Yes!"

At the same time, about 20 kilometers north of the settlement, the blackest SUV carrying me finally reached the edge of the ambush.

The Storm Legion players had arrived at their combat positions, and I, dressed like a can, stepped out of the car with a smirk of swearing.

Looking at the guy's staggering appearance, Wyatt, who was hiding in the shadows, suddenly frowned.

I heard that the daily travel of the administrators of the alliance is almost inseparable from the blue power armor, and it stands to reason that they should have been accustomed to the operation of the power armor for a long time.

However, the housekeeper in the blue power armor in the distance walked out of the footsteps that the six relatives did not recognize as soon as he got out of the car.

He was still excited a second ago, and a trace of foreboding suddenly welled up in his heart.

But there was no time for him to think.

At the same time as the management of the alliance appeared, a certain anxious guy had already sounded the horn of attack uncontrollably.

Looking at the prey that was close at hand, the suddenly burst hunting claws roared excitedly.

"That's the guy!"

"Rush forward! Crush them! ”

"Except for that blue can, leave it to me!"

——

(Thanks to the leader of the alliance of "Leaving the Fire" for the reward!! ）
