Chapter 7: The Dawn After the Sand
Heichen sat on a small bench in the infirmary, quietly watching Sally on the hospital bed, occasionally glancing at the desert and the sky outside. After the incineration plant was closed, the air outside was much better, and although there were frequent sandstorms that stained the sky yellow, it was much better than the oppressive gray of the ashes. However, there is nothing better than the view near the POW camp like it is now, with stars filling the night sky and the desert reflecting the silvery moonlight. Of course, all this is still based on the premise that the sandstorm stops.
"Sally......" Haiqin put her hand on Sally's hand, and then felt the coldness of those hands, "If you don't wake up, I'll ...... I'm going to be scared ......."
Suddenly, the sound of guns and cannons came from outside, and the entire prisoner of war camp was shaken by the sound, and Haiqin shrank even more in fright.
However, the explosion woke Sally too, and she opened her eyes to see the gray ceiling.
"Haiqin." Sally's voice was colder than her hands, "Am I ...... again"
"Hmm." Haiqin frowned and looked at Sally with concern, "Those medicines for post-war wounds won't work for you at all......"
"Then leave it alone." Sally didn't feel anything worried, she had seen soldiers with post-war trauma, and there were many who couldn't be cured, and she was relieved in this matter, as long as she didn't show symptoms of hurting others, it would be fine to simply faint for a while.
"By the way, what's going on just now?"
As soon as Sally finished speaking, the sound of gunfire came from outside, and she reflexively lifted the quilt, got out of bed at the speed of light, and put on the black military uniform she usually wore before Haiqin could organize her speech.
"Go to the watchtower, and when they're done we'll collect the prisoners."
"Ahh
Naturally, Varvara also noticed the explosion outside, it was the rebel army composed of the expeditionary force and the Linglan people who were fighting fiercely, and it happened that the battlefield was not far from them. However, its attention was not drawn to the battlefield, and it was still wondering why Sally was reluctant to open up to it or give it a modicum of trust.
"I've been with you for the longest time." It lay limply on its bed, its voice echoing in its head, "I...... My heart felt tighter...... I'm talking to myself anyway, what's so embarrassing? I, I'm very uncomfortable...... Yes, it's uncomfortable! ”
"Sir, get up." On the way to the watchtower, Haichen made a turn and told Varvara to go with him.
"Take prisoners of war, go yourself!" With that, Varvara covered her head with a large pillow and said, "Alas......
In the vast desert not far from the prisoner of war camp, there was a huge expeditionary force general warship, and behind it, there was a bright and huge full moon, and the moonlight was partially blocked by the main ship, so that a huge and narrow shadow appeared on the ground. Under the shadow cover, there are countless motherships that are much smaller, but their attack power is not inferior to that of the main battleship, and inside the mothership, it is full of agile and swift fighters, they are like hornets out of the nest, one after another, pouring out of the mothership, rushing to the ship at the edge of the shadows that is in opposition to them.
This spaceship was originally one of the motherships of the Expeditionary Force opposite, but now it has a new line of large characters sprayed on it: "Dawn Legion Desert", which hastily obscures the words "OSC C-43-873" below, OSC is the abbreviation of the Blue Python Group's English name on the earth, Oracular Serpent Corporation, C-43 indicates that this mothership belongs to the Blue Python C43 Expeditionary Force, and 873 is the mothership's own number.
In the face of the surging fighters, the Tamo also opened the hatch, and the Linglan Star soldiers who were piloting the fighters couldn't wait to rush out, and the Linglan Star people who lived in humiliation finally had the opportunity to compete with the Blue Python with the same level of weapons for the first time.
And in the command room of the Treading Desert, there was a short commander, with short black hair combed into a well-behaved doll head, big dark green eyes, and a cute baby fat on his face, which made people can't help but want to pinch it when they see it. But his body was thin, and the badge on his chest showing his identity was much thicker, and the name written on the badge by hand: Hamili Golivier Galier, there was still a hint of immaturity in the handwriting.
The skinny Hamili was in command at the moment, the smallest white commander's uniform was loosely worn over him, and the long sleeves almost covered the back of his hands. After all, he's only a ten-year-old.
Bad news is constantly coming: the fighter plane of General XX fell, the central part of the expeditionary force was dispatched, some fighters lost contact, and the fighters of the expeditionary force began to approach on a large scale...... But he is just making annotations on the hand-drawn map with a blank face, and with a childish face, it looks a bit like he is casually writing homework.
At this time, the vanguard of the expeditionary force had successfully infiltrated the Desert and was about to attack Hamili's command room, which was already filled with guns and shouts, but he was unmoved, just carefully observed the yellow sand blown by the wind, and transmitted the last message before the signal was cut off by the expeditionary force - the wind was about to roar.
Outside the command room, a strong man with medium and long brown hair and pigtails on his sideburns resisted wave after wave of attacks, and the laser bullets that bounced in the air reflected a ray of light on his golden sunglasses, although he had never seen the weapon in his hand, but it was just very easy to use, and the purple light bullet illuminated the already bright corridor.
This man was the one who had not seen the real face of Sally in the wind and sand, and he was once a robber in all directions, but now he was the squire of the Dawn Legion Hamili.
"Captain Ship, Captain Ship! Request support! How could the team leader have thought that his team had not been discovered all the way, but when he arrived at the corridor at the door of the command room, he was blocked by a thief who had stolen the equipment of the expeditionary force.
"This yellow guy ......" The team member complained in a low voice, while using the blue light shield on his arm to resist the attack, the yellow guy in his mouth was Kotu Sachi wearing gold-plated armor, although the armor style was similar to that of the expeditionary force, but it was plated with a layer of gold, which made the soldier feel a little unhappy.
"Thatch, it's time." At this moment, Hamili's voice came from the command room, which sounded exceptionally young and even childish, which inevitably made the expeditionary force on the scene stunned for a moment, but soon they entered the command room with Kotusaqi, who had fought and retreated.
The light bombs rained down on Hamiri, and the smoke and sparks flew everywhere, but when the smoke cleared, the expeditionary forces saw Hamili with his back to them, unscathed, and Kotusachi who was holding a shield of light and mocking them.
"Without those warships, that's all you can do, right? I'm not as good as a bandit! Hahahahaha! ”
The expeditionary force that led the expedition tried to target Hamili again, but the little man was held back by Kotusaqi's tall body and shield in his hand.
Due to the protection of Kotusage, they both kept their distance from Hamili, and a semicircle of clearing formed behind Hamili, and on the console in front of him, the indicator light flashed and flashed, and the little song humming by Hamili was just right to match the rhythm.
"Little guy, do you think you can beat the blue python's interstellar army with a bandit?" The team leader smiled and put away the gun, and spoke in a tone that seemed to care about a child.
And Hamili seemed a little unhappy, "Maybe I can't beat you, but I can still humiliate you before I die." ”
"Milky kid, go home and change diapers and come back hahahaha!" The soldiers behind the leader taunted him, but Hamili didn't rush out angrily as they thought, giving his life in vain.
"Don't forget, you're aggressors." Hamili quickly stabilized his emotions, "The wind of Linglan will never help outsiders. ”
With that, he pressed a white button on the console, and the entire mothership immediately fell to the ground, and both the expeditionary force and Hamili fell hard.
On the opposite side was the main ship of the C43 Expeditionary Force, and its commander Jason was overjoyed when he saw the spacecraft on the opposite side falling, he thought that the vanguard had succeeded in its operation, so he immediately ordered all of them to go out and snatch back their own spaceship.
Suddenly, the mothership and the fighters poured out, densely rushing to the Tamina, but halfway through the flight, suddenly some people began to feel that something was wrong, first of all, these fighters, as if out of control, turned to other positions, and some even collided with their own mothership, and then the slightly more bulky mothership actually spun in place.
"What are they doing?" Jason looked at the flying ship and thought he had accidentally taken the hallucinogenic drug he had brought from Earth before commanding.
"Report!"
"Speak!" Jason wanted the messenger to explain the bizarre event.
"A giant sandstorm suddenly formed on the battlefield where the two armies were fighting!"
"Sand ......" Jason turned around in surprise, "The weather forecast didn't say anything!" ”
"The weather forecast is inaccurate."
These words almost made Jason vomit blood, because he has the habit of reading the weather forecast every day, and he looks lonely.
"The whole army gives up the attack! Evacuate the sandstorm area first! Jason shouted into the microphone, at this time the outside was already full of yellow sand, and there was nothing to see, such a scene, he didn't have to think about it to know, the loss was heavy.
Occasionally, a few expeditionary planes would rush out of the whirling sandstorm, but they were soon shot down by the Dawn Legion guarding outside the sandstorm.
At the same time, Sally on the lookout looked at the whirling sandstorm and the falling warplane, and couldn't help but smile, "Haiqin, the commander of the rebels is very lucky. The earth has Zhuge Liang borrowing the east wind, and Linglan has a commander borrowing sandstorms. It's getting more and more interesting here. ”
With that, she moved her shoulders slightly, "But some of them will inevitably get hurt." Let's go, 'escort' them here. ”
The sandstorm gradually dissipated, and when Jason could see something, he found that countless warplanes and a dozen motherships were buried in the thick yellow sand, and his own main ship was also slowly tilting because of the large amount of sand accumulated on one side.
"Hurry up! Are you standing here waiting to be beaten! He shouted at his men, but the strong sandstorm interfered with the signal, and even if he shouted to the sky, those people might not be able to hear it.
"Mr. Jason." Hamili didn't even look at the expeditionary force team behind him, but stared at the huge main ship of the Second Expeditionary Force through the glass, "Thank you for these motherships." ”
"Little brat! You ......" Before the leader of the small expeditionary force in Hamili's command room finished speaking, a dense and deafening burst of gunfire rang out behind him, and he suddenly felt a heat in his back, and his body trembled and fell down in disobedience, and with him fell his teammates, all of whom were beaten into a sieve by the sudden attack from behind.
"Hammy!" The subordinates who arrived at the door in time took their guns and stepped on the corpses of the expeditionary force to check on Hamili's situation.
"Take the others to grab the spaceship! Little Hammy has me, who dares to touch him? Kotusatch patted the brothers on the back of the shoulder and kicked them out of the command room.
After a while, Jason saw another number of fighters pouring out of the Desert, mercilessly concentrating on one mothership after another, the mothership and fighters that were tightly squeezed by the sand were difficult to move, and the expeditionary force inside was as helpless as lambs to the slaughter in the face of the Dawn Legion with the same equipment, and was killed in a short time.
Soon, several motherships between Jason and Hamiley were running again, and the laser cannons were charging, and even though some of the motherships' muzzles were still buried under the desert, the light blue halo produced when charging was still faintly visible.
"Wait, wait!" Jason yelled, though not necessarily audible, "Wait! Hamili! I let you go! ”
"Boom!"
The light shone brighter than the rising sun, and the sky was bright, and Jason only felt that his eyes were white, and when he saw things again, he found that it was pitch black outside, because his main ship had been blown up and plunged into the thick desert.
The balance system was turned off, and the mothership that fired the high-energy laser cannon loosened a lot of sand around them because of the huge recoil force naturally generated, and Hamili gave an order, and the mothership and fighter plane that were grabbed slowly rose up.
Seeing the spaceship levitating again, as well as the main ship that was blown out of the distance, Sally couldn't help but complain: "Is the level of C-class command so poor?" Blind to such a good general ship. ”
Haiqin, who had never been on the battlefield, didn't know how Sally could see the level of command, she was only worried about her safety for a while, "Will it be dangerous to go now?" ”
"Let's drive slowly, they should be leaving, but it is estimated that some people will be left behind, after all, it is easy to stay and sleep a lot, and there is no need."
"How do you know?" It's another judgment that Haiqin can't understand, isn't it good to chase after victory at this time? The main ship of the expeditionary force on the opposite side is already like a duck on the board!
"The commander of the rebels was in no hurry to win the battle, or he had no intention of doing so. I think he himself knows that the little Linglan Star can't win against the Blue Python, so he wants to accumulate strength and show his ability, thinking that in this way he will have a chance to be recruited by the Blue Python. There were too many conflicts with the blue python, and even a grudge, which was not conducive to him joining. Sally sighed, "The reason why I say this is because from his battle plan, I don't see the slightest hatred for the expeditionary force, but it seems to be shaking his wit and teasing the expeditionary force." ”
Indeed, just as Sally had guessed, the tail of the old and new warships of the Dawn Corps spewed out a faint blue light towards Jason, and flew away leisurely towards the newly rising sun.
