Chapter 29: Assassination
The test work of the magnesium bomb was successfully concluded, and the confrontation drill of the Sky Wolf assault ship was also successful.
The servant saw all this in real time, and he was very satisfied, and when Hela and Suni returned from the ranch, they held a special welcome dinner, and greatly praised them.
Now that the new weapon has been successfully finalized, the Northern Alliance immediately began the production and installation of magnesium bullets.
The first batch was 1,000 magnesium-light bombs, which were designed in three models of ABC.
The Magnesium A is a large bomb that was installed on 200 giant warships sent to the south.
Micron B, a medium-sized bomb, was installed on 300 warships of its own production in the north.
Micron C, is a small bomb that is installed to the 500 assault ships of the Sky Wolf Samurai.
As for the deployment of this batch of weapons, the servant decided to divide them into two halves, half to be deployed in Hebei Ranch and half to the junction of the North-South Alliance.
Sihohira suggested holding a military parade as an opportunity to highlight the military might of the Northern Alliance.
The servant felt that it made sense, so he agreed.
As for the location, Hela thinks it should still be at the edge of the ranch; It is now a strategic location, and we must demonstrate our strong force and determination.
Two days later, in the morning, Taifu, Suni, Sihohela, and East Hoguna set off on the flagship Star, and behind the "Star" was a huge magnesium cannon starship phalanx.
The mighty starship phalanx constantly changed its array on the way: a long snake, a humanoid flying wing, a triangular attack, a circular defense; Under the starlight, groups of warships reflected a series of cold lights, demonstrating their powerful combat power.
When he arrived at the Bird Feather River Ranch, the servant found that the southern soldiers in the land of the river bend had also increased a lot, and now there were almost 10,000 garrisons, and there were hundreds of giant starships in the south, and it seemed that the south also felt the tension of the situation and replenished its troops.
The servants, Suni, Guna, and Hela stepped onto the main deck, with 500 of his ships large and small in front of them.
In the distance, a hundred kilometers away, is the land of the river, which is now guarded by the southerners, but it is the sad place of the northerners.
The servant gave a passionate and generous speech, calling on the soldiers to train hard, encouraging the people to be diligent and uplifting, and to remember the land where they once were.
After the speech, the next step was the military parade, and the starships, lined up in four columns, slowly passed in front of the flagship.
Everyone was engrossed in admiring the parade, and Hela made an excuse and quietly withdrew.
Towards the end of the military parade, suddenly, a hurried voice came from the headsets of the servant and Suni.
"Great Patriarch, get out of the way, an assault ship has left the queue and is flying towards your flagship!"
Both the servant and Suni realized that something might be wrong, so they urgently stopped watching and hurriedly retreated towards the cabin, followed by Guna, and several guards.
Dozens of seconds later, an assault ship suddenly appeared not far from the flagship, aimed at the flagship and fired a magnesium light bomb, directly hitting the position where the servant had just watched the ceremony.
With a "bang", the foredeck was blown up and quickly began to burn, and the guards used their bodies to block the flying debris, and several were killed on the spot.
Although the magnesium bullet that hit the flagship was a small one, the Star was ignited.
Seeing the raging fire around them, the servants, Suni, and Guna had nowhere to escape, so they had to get into the emergency evacuation boat on the flagship, which was piloted by a security officer and flew away from the flagship Star.
There was an assault ship in hot pursuit, and while pursuing, it was bombarded with machine guns.
Fortunately, the guard's driving level was extremely high, and he made several high-quality evasive maneuvers in a row, plus a series of rolls, so that he was not hit.
At this critical moment, two samurai drove the Sirius ship to rescue the servant, and the assault ship behind gave up the pursuit, turned two corners, and disappeared.
The first half of the flagship Star, which had almost been burned down, had finally been extinguished.
After this blow, the Star was completely scrapped; Of course, from one side, this also reflects the huge lethality of the magnesium light bullet, and a small magnesium light bullet destroyed the flagship.
After returning to the Chargan space base, the servant ordered a thorough investigation of the attack, and it was necessary to find out who was behind the attack.
Hela, of Siho, was also injured in this incident and is said to have been seen bleeding profusely as he came out of the toilet with a splinter hit in the abdomen.
Both the servant and Suni were slightly injured, but their flesh was cut, and there was no major problem.
The assault ship that carried out the attack, which was later found, had been blown to pieces, and the original pilot had died inexplicably; In short, the people involved are either dead or missing, and overnight, all kinds of clues are interrupted.
The investigation into the attack on the military parade was finally closed and no further investigation was carried out.
Due to the development and installation of the magnesium light bomb, Suni has received great appreciation and trust from the servant, who has regarded him as his right-hand man.
The servant gave him a position as a councillor in the inner house, so that he could serve regularly and help with ideas.
After the military parade, the Xiho patriarch Hela gradually lost the trust of the servant, and the servant rarely consulted him about anything.
In the blink of an eye, the servant hadn't summoned Hela for more than half a year.
On this day, the servant and Suni received a letter from Hela, inviting him to his private residence for a small gathering, in which Hela expressed her allegiance to the servant and looked forward to catching up together and increasing their affection for each other.
The servant is very embarrassed, go ahead, a little worried; If you don't go, you can't say anything, after all, the north is composed of three major tribes, and there will be no northern alliance without the unity of Sanhuo.
After much hesitation, I still have to go.
Suni didn't have much to think about, after all, Hela was the patriarch, and he himself had no right to refuse.
According to the agreed time, the servant and Suni rushed to Hela's house in an official airship.
Hella warmly greeted, entertained, and arranged more than a dozen important members of the clan to accompany them, in addition to eating, drinking and chatting, there were several singing and dancing performances.
The servant and Suni were wary at first, but as the banquet progressed, everything was normal, and Hela was very sincere, so naturally, they slowly relaxed their hearts.
When the feast was over, Hela and the others sent them out, warmly holding the hand of the servant, and sending them all the way away.
As when they came, the servant and Suni returned in their own official boats.
Suni's chauffeur, Tár, is a very sweet person of his own, and he is both loyal and attentive to Suni.
When Tal saw that Suni was seated, he started the official airship, which was not large and could only accommodate two passengers; It is comfortable to ride, extremely fast, and is the most comfortable option for short-distance transportation.
Halfway through the trip, there is another half an hour to get home, and Suni is napping at this time.
There was a jolt from side to side, shaking Suni awake.
Suni opened his eyes and found that Tal had his head tilted to the side and blood dripping from the corners of his mouth, but his eyes were still wide as he struggled to control the airship.
"Tár, what's wrong with you?"
"Master, I—no—" Tar said with difficulty, and passed out.
The airship, which lost control, immediately began to shake, flip over, and with a high probability of crashing quickly.
Suni hurriedly pushed Tal aside and tried to pilot the airship himself.
At this time, Suni discovers that the airship is out of control; The rudder and joystick are not working, the pointers on the dashboard are shaking, the red lights are flashing, and the alarm is constantly audible.
Suni quickly stepped into his seat behind him, fastened his seatbelt, put on his mask, and pressed the hidden button under the seat.
With a loud bang, the side doors on both sides quickly deformed and moved closer to the middle, wrapping Suni along with the seat to form a compact escape pod; The floor of the seat opened downward, and Suni was thrown out of the airship with a whoosh.
There was a "boom" sound, and the official airship behind him had been blown to pieces.
Fortunately, it was not far from home, and Suni drove the escape pod back home.
The modification of the official airship was carried out privately by Suni, and no one else knew about it.
In order to continue to stay in the Northern Alliance, Suni quietly concealed the distress on the way home this time, and did not tell the servant, or even his family.
