Two frigates, Eric each activated four Iron Soldiers.

But there were only four on the other ship, which Tony said was to test the ability to be completely unsupervised.

And here, in addition to the four that were activated, there were also four steel soldiers on the frigate, which were placed in the hangar as a backup.

There are a total of 12 steel soldiers, and theoretically the frontal firepower is enough to suppress an armored force, but in practice, it can only be said that they all underestimate their opponents.

If you only compare the strength on paper, the frontal combat ability of exoskeleton soldiers is still difficult to surpass these mechas, but combat is never firepower-only.

An unexpected surprise attack, a complex terrain that is not conducive to mecha action, a special equipment that restrains electronic equipment, is completely enough to erase the gap.

As for the other Navy soldiers, there is no need to count them in the combat power, as the battles on the ships show that they can't even properly target the super soldiers.

Yes, in Erik's opinion, those wearing high-tech exoskeletons are undoubtedly super soldiers.

Tart tart tart.

The footsteps were rapid and light, and in addition to his own footsteps, he could hear heavier footsteps behind him, and it was clear that the enemy's target was also the small speedboat at the bottom of the boat.

If he is an enemy, he will also choose to loot fuel and run away.

"Hah"

Eric quickly turned the corner and came to the "hangar" that had been temporarily converted before setting off -

Wow!

The door was opened, and he was supposed to race against time, but he was suddenly stunned when he saw the scene in the hangar:

"What the hell?!"

Several manipulators, which have been converted into assembly arms, slide quickly on the ground and operate

I saw that the four mechs had been dismantled, and these parts and armor were all smashed into a steel soldier in the center of the field.

The new Iron Soldier is prostrate on the ground, with more and more agile moving components, two overly thick arms, a missile bay that even slides across the surface of the body, and a machine gun that has been converted into a new twin machine gun

A robot, refitting itself?!

"Insufficient resistance to strikes, solution: concentrated armor, armor protection is being reconstructed, active defense systems are being loaded against weak points that could be attacked by special information warfare equipment."

"The combat environment is limited, the solution: control the body size, increase flexibility. Retrofit solution generation failed: lack of high-precision parts. ”

"Increase the power and improve the propulsion device."

"The fire control system is being readjusted"

"Combat plan re-planning, computing power is limited"

"Hello, Commander Colonel Stevenson."

Eric walked in with a confused expression: "What is this going on?" ”

"The Critical AI is adapting its equipment to the current battle, and the current goal: to obtain the cargo of the target cargo ship remains unchanged."

"No, it's changed!"

Eric quickly accepted this fact.

It's a bit amazing to say, but he's actually a top graduate of MIT, and he's learned a lot of AI knowledge after getting close to Tony.

Although he doesn't know exactly what happened to the Iron Soldier, he roughly understood the meaning of "Critical Combat Mode".

He walked quickly to the ship in the depths.

"Adjust the target, cover my retreat."

"Roger, the goal has changed: to cover the commander's retreat, and to capture the target cargo ship."

"I mean retreat!"

"The goals of the two are not at odds."

"How can you fight without a commander?"

After Eric finished speaking, he suddenly recalled this so-called "critical combat mode", which seemed to be an independent combat mode that set aside the commander's command.

"Forget it, whatever you want, I'm going to retreat."

Before he could finish speaking, the Iron Soldier suddenly raised his newly modified twin machine gun towards the gate!

Bang!

The exoskeleton stomped on the floor vigorously, and Frank suddenly stepped out of the threshold!

He was ready to kill the enemy here, but when he rushed out, he was greeted by an even greater steel soldier!

The twin machine guns in the hands of this giant mech have been activated-

Frank was instantly frightened, the exoskeleton under his feet quickly exerted force, and the whole person jumped backwards!

Neural activity is boosted to the extreme at this moment, the power of the neurostimulation component breaks through the safe threshold, and in perception, the time is extended.

It seemed that the trajectory of each bullet cutting through the air appeared in his mind, and the bullet slashed through his body with the cold wind

Bang!

Frank finally dodged the shot with unimaginable agility, the sound of the bullet crashing against the metal wall was like the roar of a behemoth, and each impact was accompanied by sparks of metal shards—

The narrow space was filled with the smell of gunsmoke and burning, and Frank hid farther away from the intersection, and immediately came to his senses, shooting out spider silk and running towards the upper floor!

Rumble!

The heat accumulated in the walls eventually caused a large area to soften, and the bullets slammed it through!

A large wall smashed down where Frank had just stood.

The gunfire stopped, leaving only the red-hot twin barrels to rattle.

Click.

A piece of metal slowly tore and fell, and Eric stood aside and was stunned.

The rate of fire of the twin machine guns had completely exceeded the theoretical rate of fire, and it was only then that he realized that Tony Stark was not completely honest.

If their soldiers on the frontal battlefield had this kind of suppressive power, it would be really awesome.

Click!

With a loud bang, the huge steel soldier began to stand up, and the small space was squeezed open by it with two additional arms—

The engine roared, the metal screamed at a distance, and the passage was opened wide by it!

The huge armor just held itself against the surrounding walls and walked towards the stairwell, faster and faster, and even started running!

Rumble!

The mech arrives in the stairwell, is activated by a patchwork of thrusters, and the behemoth climbs the stairs and walls in pursuit of the enemy!

Various structural pieces fell, and Eric swallowed.

In this battle, the limitations of the Iron Soldier were exposed: this kind of soldier is still an armored unit after all, although it is smaller in size and can be used in more scenarios than tanks, but it still has the problem of low flexibility and easy to be restrained by special electronic equipment.

But for now.

This new behemoth moves like an orangutan!

If this environment can't limit it, its size is an advantage.

Everyone knows that the development of weapons of war is to be bigger, stronger, and better.

[ATLS-007: What's going on?] 】

[Frank: A group retreats, overloads the power room, blows up and sinks this ship!] 】

[Frank: Two groups, control the ship's guns, and sink this ship. 】

[Frank: Get the target ship out of the way!] 】

[Click! 】

Rumble!

The rocket exploded behind him, and the massive impact nearly knocked Frank to the ground!

"Frank!"

At the door of the power room, Garner ran out of the room, still carrying an RPG launcher on his shoulder: "That's it!" What's down there? ”

"Shoot straight!"

Ghana did not hesitate and immediately pulled the trigger -

A huge mechanical fixing palm protrudes from the hole in the lower deck, firmly holding the blasted live opening.

The red sensor observes the flying rocket, and a short-headed interceptor missile suddenly pops up around the sensor, directly knocking the RPG into the air!

Rumble!

In the rising flames, the entire mecha reached the upper level under the traction of the mechanical arm and the lift of the thruster, and the two powerful expansion arms easily smashed through the ceiling and wall, clearing the way for the mecha to move forward.

The scene was terrifying, the hard metal walls were as fragile as paper, and they couldn't stop it from moving forward!

The missile bay glides on the mech's back and quickly adjusts to the front.

Seeing this, Garner's face changed, and he pulled Frank up, and the thrusters on the backs of the two brothers started

Rumble!

This explosion directly pierced the side of the ship, and flames erupted!

Both the second group and the Celtic rover on the other ship saw this scene!

The three boats were now within 300 meters of each other, and the second group had reached below the Celtic rover in a dinghy, with a long oil hose connecting the dinghy to the boat.

Several Atlas soldiers were attached to the hull, and it was clear that they were responsible for the "manual docking" of the hoses.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry!"

Entering the hatch, Kurt directed his comrades to carry the wounded away, while Clint stood in the boat and instructed his men to transport the wounded.

Clint stood in the lower hatch and instructed his men to transport the wounded while saying to Kurt, "Thank you for your support"

Before the words fell, a huge metal plate smashed nearby, splashing a large splash!

"Now is not the time to talk about this!" Kurt paused, "Withdraw, withdraw!" Get out of here, we're going to sink that warship! ”

Clint's expression changed subtly: they were going to sink this Berry Nation warship?!

Rumble!

Before the words fell, a huge explosion occurred on the upper deck of the warship again!

Bang!

"Grass"

The shockwave propelled him and Garner out of the lower space and slammed them down the deck.

Multiple nerve irritations combined with shockwave damage caused the two to spit out a mouthful of blood each.

They were back on deck again.

The air on the sea is extremely changeable, and the wind was calm before they jumped, but now, the clouds have covered the sun, and the wind is blowing!

Looking around, the Celtic Rover is already very close to this warship!

Before Frank could get up, he shouted over the radio:

[Frank: Don't stay any longer!] Get the ship out of here! 】

Call!

The exaggerated thrusters roared, and the black smoke and flames were extremely thick, but they still couldn't hide it.

Bang!

The mech revealed its true face in the sunlight.

The original Iron Soldier was only about 2.5 meters tall, and in order to ensure a certain amount of mobility, there was no large amount of frontal armor attached to the whole.

But this is too different, it has a height of more than 3 meters, has four more flexible leg structures, and the machine gun is all converted into twin gun groups hanging on the sides.

In addition to this, there are two stout arms that are used to clear obstacles on the road and provide an important function of "rock climbing".

It's hard to imagine how the arms could be connected to the body, as Frank saw the two arms rotate around the body several times, adjusting their positions.

If you just look at the appearance, it doesn't look like a human-designed product at all.

"The operation continues, the target has been locked, and the ship is ready to be boarded."

The giant mech turned its sensors to the distant cargo ship - the cargo was on the deck, and the whole ship was a giant container.

Frank looked at Garner, and then at the second frigate in the distance—

Now on the three ships, they are the only ones still fighting.

But the most powerful firepower they have at hand is rocket artillery, and they can't break through this big guy's close defense system at all!

So they can only solve the problem in another way: this big guy has a lot of firepower, but it's a land combat machine after all-

On another warship, the main gun has been turned to the muzzle.

At this point, it was impossible to think about the international implications - it was the pirates who sank the warship anyway.

"Ghana." Frank took a deep breath, the latter nodded, and the two immediately turned around and made a sprint position, "Run!" ”

[Frank: Fire!] 】

Rumble!

76-mm shells grazed the deck in an instant, and exaggerated sparks scattered like a rainstorm!

The entire ship shook violently, and the giant mech, which was still advancing, suddenly stopped, and two of its legs quickly turned into fixtures and were nailed deep into the deck!

Frank and Garner are firmly attached to the surface with the help of magnetic attachments, trying to overcome the imbalance caused by the shaking and take a step forward!

But the swaying of the ship became more and more intense—

[ATLS-014: You must get off the ship!] It's windy! It's hard for me to guarantee the accuracy of the cannon! 】

[Frank: Keep firing!] 】

Frank grabbed the edge of the boat with one hand, bent his legs sharply, grabbed Garner's arm, and shouted backwards, "You jump first!" ”

"I'm heavier, it's supposed to be me."

"Yes, so you jump first! Three, two"

"Falk squid, Frank!"

"One!"

The ship was hit once, swaying like a tumbler under the rough waves and high winds.

When Frank shouted one, the edge of the boat suddenly sank, and they could even see the dinghy waiting to be picked up on the sea!

The power of the exoskeleton was raised to the extreme at this moment, and Frank blushed-

The exoskeleton is no longer enough to counteract this flick!

Yikes!

The electrostatic adsorption kit slid suddenly, and Garner's whole person followed Frank's pull, and the two exoskeletons violently jumped high towards the outer edge of the boat!

Bang!

Exactly landed on the speedboat!

Rumble!

The second shell pierced the ship's power room!

The chain explosion instantly covered the hull of the ship, and the whole ship was disintegrating!

The whole ship began to roll over in reverse, and the answering skiff disappeared in front of Frank's eyes in an instant, and his front gradually turned into the sky!

As the magnetic adsorption device was restarting, Frank looked back and saw that the giant mecha had made a magical move:

Its outer armor and heavy vitality pod smashed to the ground like undressing.

In this way, the thrusters in parallel are enough for it to take off!

Frank immediately gave up restarting the adsorption device, the pulley of his footsteps, and the spider silk shot out of his two arms, and quickly slid towards the mecha with the help of traction-

And in this huge mecha, all the computing power has been invested in the renewal of the mech, and into the calculation of how to deal with the current scene.

It didn't notice it at all, Frank had already pulled out the data knife and struck quickly!

Rumble!

A huge fireball rises from below deck, and the entire ship capsizes towards the sea!

Thank you for the rewards of the drowning resentful soul, the flawless Huaxia limic, the book friend 20230503202346819, and the book friend 20231206042849147
