Over the Pacific Ocean, under the darkness of night, an iron cone-shaped cabin was moving at an extremely fast speed, its flight speed was close to Mach 1. This kind of cabin, called the "Iron Sting", is a special facility for the surprise attack force of free front-line delivery capabilities. When the cabin takes off, it is shot out like a cannonball. The Iron Sting is equipped with its own navigation and propulsion devices, and there is nothing on the aircraft that adds weight or affects the speed. The combat equipment only has some basic functions similar to a rescue capsule. The overall cost is about the same as a missile. The cost is not high, but it is very practical.
In this era, there are many advanced flying mechas and small air weapons, so high-precision, medium- and low-lethal anti-aircraft methods have also been developed along with it. This is an inevitable trend: can openers were invented only when cans were available in the world; only when smallpox occurred did people need smallpox vaccines; therefore, when air combat turned into a mechanical combat mode with extremely high technological content, "paratroopers" were also eliminated. The method of landing with a manned parachute after deployment is almost the same as a live target. The use of anti-aircraft cannons and firearms to shoot down paratroopers was a history of more than a hundred years ago. Now you want to drop a living person from the air into the opponent's formation. , then you have to use your brain carefully.
The Freedom Frontline has independently developed a flight cabin such as the "Iron Sting", but the prerequisite for its use is that only those with level 1 or above, or those with equivalent physical fitness can ride it. The reason is that the acceleration of this thing is too strong. Moreover, it usually ends in self-destruction when landing. This kind of supersonic flight device with simple design and low cost is likely to damage the internal organs of ordinary passengers...
It was four o'clock in the morning that day. It was about ten minutes after Jueying encountered the Blood Owl and the Divine Key. An iron thorn came to the sea very close to Tiandu, and was expected to rush into Tiandu's defense circle in one minute.
Before the transfer of the bookstore, Tianyi used the destiny system to force a communication with the approaching Freedom Front Army on the Tianjiu. He stated that he would assist the Freedom Front's attack in the next operation. But he needed "assistance" from the Freedom Frontline and hoped that they would send at least two ability users at least at the fierce level to rush to Tiandu in the shortest possible time. On the premise that the reverse cross can restrain the lord and Jueying, it will assist in interfering and destroying Tiandu's defense line.
The style of the Freedom Front is that interests come first, and those who can exchange interests are friends. When the ratio of risks and benefits is within the acceptable range, they will naturally make the deal. then. After Berg, who was under the command of Tianjiu in person, communicated and discussed with several other big bosses of the "Parliament", Leihuo and King Kong got on an Iron Thorn and were treated as a vanguard death squad and set out on the road.
These two people are equivalent to an investment, and the possible benefits in exchange are victory in this Tiandu offensive and defensive battle. If the lord and Jueying were really restrained and unable to take action as Tianyi said. Berg has a great chance of winning. He believes that Leihuo and King Kong will be able to completely overturn the defense on the east side of Tiandu. By then, the possibility of turning the long-range offensive into a landing operation is more than 70%. Once the long-range artillery confrontation turns into a street battle in Tiandu City, the lord's abilities will be basically useless. At that time, the troops of both sides are mixed together. There are civilians, soldiers, ordinary people, and capable people in the city. The lord has no way of distinguishing the forces to which these people belong. Then he can only attack the targets within sight, large-scale long-range The ability to control loses its meaning.
Berg believed and accepted Tianyi's proposal. The worst case scenario was that Tianyi lied, or the reverse cross failed to contain Tianwei at all. As a result, the Liberty Front lost two strong generals. But in terms of the possible benefits from this investment, it is undoubtedly worth the risk.
"We will arrive at the target location soon. I think the other party should have discovered us long ago." Lei Huo in the cabin looked at the simple display screen and said: "It is estimated that the bombardment will come at any time."
"The bombardment is not a problem. I only care about whether the lord and Jueying are really contained." King Kong replied: "If this is a trap set by Tianyi, you and I are just throwing an egg at a stone."
"Hmph...were you scared out of your wits in Atlantic City?" Lei Huo laughed.
"If the troops hadn't been withdrawn to the sea at that time, and there were blood owl and those monsters delaying time, the lord might have easily solved us." King Kong said: "Of course, a brainless person like you wouldn't Consider that situation.”
Lei Huo snorted coldly and replied: "Nonsense, nothing happened. It is useless to make any inferences. If the lord can really expand his territory to suppress an area as large as a city regardless of consumption, he can win the war by himself. The empire Will it still be like this? In the final analysis... the lord is just a person with abilities, just like us, as long as he is a human being, he can be defeated when his strength is exhausted."
King Kong said: "So. I don't want to meet him before he is exhausted and let myself become a bargaining chip that consumes his strength."
"Your worries are unnecessary." A third voice suddenly appeared in the cabin, coming from the communicator.
Both Leihuo and King Kong recognized this sound, having heard it in the celestial vulture just before they set off.
"Tianyi, are you... Are you addicted to hacking into other people's computer systems?" When King Kong spoke, he understood that all their conversations had been heard, and he had no doubt that the control of the Iron Thorn had fallen to Tianyi at this moment. One hand.
"Berg had his own reasons for sending you two as the advance team." Tianyi ignored King Kong's question and said directly: "Even if my words are not credible, he believes that with the strength and adaptability of the two of you, at least it will not happen. die."
"Do we still have to thank you for your compliment at this moment?" Lei Huo said, "By the way, thank you for your suggestion, which has allowed us to take the lead."
"Of course you have to thank me, but you are not thanking me." Tianyi replied: "The ones fighting the Heavenly Guard are the Blood Owl and the Divine Key... I'm just telling you, don't worry about being torn into pieces by the lord as soon as you land. But I I also want to remind you two that the experts in Tiandu are not just those two."
"You don't need to tell me about this kind of thing..." Before Lei Huo could finish his sentence, the cabin suddenly shook violently. The explosion penetrated the armor and hit the eardrums of the two people, making them deaf for more than ten seconds. The communication function was obviously It was broken and the call was interrupted.
Leihuo and King Kong clearly felt that the machine had deviated from its direction due to severe damage. And it is gradually falling. It can be seen that there is also a problem with the thruster.
In less than two seconds, there was another shock. This time, the sound of the explosion could no longer be heard. Being in the cabin, there was no way to tell whether the iron thorn was hit by a missile or a barrage of concussive bombs. Anyway, the crash was certain. .
Of course, as King Kong said just now, "shelling is not a problem." Although these two people often quarrel or even fight, it is precisely because of this. They know each other's strengths quite well. In this situation, Leihuo and King Kong didn't bother to care about their companions. They didn't think it was necessary. The two of them almost coincidentally broke through the iron spike armor plate in their own way and leaped out.
The moon has set. The sun has not yet risen, so it is said that in this darkest hour before dawn, it should be impossible to see any fingers on the sea. However, the two people who flew out of the cabin were high in the sky, and Tiandu was less than a kilometer away in front of them. The lights of the city never went out, like a lighthouse over the Pacific Ocean, which made the two people suddenly see something. .
Lei Huo's abilities are very strong. In terms of staying in the air, speed, and destructive power, he is considered the best among ability users. In this situation of falling from a high altitude. He is naturally very calm; King Kong has some troubles. He will not fall to death or drown. He can go to deep seas that even submarines cannot go. The pressure that his body can withstand is amazing, but his problem is his ability to stay in the air. . He had not yet reached the madness level and his abilities were limited, so he couldn't find any good solution when he fell in mid-air.
"Why don't you let me help you..." Lei Huo appeared next to King Kong with malicious intentions.
"Just what I want." King Kong fully understood what the other party was going to do. When he heard the words, he had already raised his energy to defend himself.
But I saw lightning bursting out in the air. Lei Huo unceremoniously sent King Kong off with a blast of thunder, and the latter rushed towards Tiandu like a rapidly falling meteorite.
Tiandu's defense capabilities are not just a display. Large and small artillery, laser weapons, energy fields, and even sound energy devices are all activated at the same time, and a flood of attacks pours in. King Kong received an unknown number of blows before he landed, and his entire body within ten meters was almost always exposed to the heat of the explosion and the raging impact. He also managed to penetrate the electric energy defense field by impact.
When he landed, his body made a large crater several meters in diameter on the metal ground. There were bursts of black smoke rising from the center of the pit. Even so, King Kong still stood up from the pit. He was fine, but the suit he was wearing was beaten to pieces. Without the protection of his own energy, he would probably have only a few rags left in his body. Now, I can still see the shape of the clothes, but the suit has become a short-sleeved sweatshirt, and the trousers have become six-quarter pants.
A bolt of thunder struck the ground with a screeching sound, and Thunder Fire stood beside King Kong intact, looking energetic, with a bit of ridicule at the corner of his mouth. He wore a yellow one-piece sportswear for this operation, the kind with a black line along the seam of the pants. Everyone knew who he was modeling, and he almost had nunchucks in his hands. Fooled.
"Are you okay?" Lei Huo asked in a mocking tone.
"Hmph... At this level, warming up is not even considered." King Kong casually grabbed a broken piece of metal on the ground and ate it like an apple. He smacked his lips as he ate, wondering what this thing was. Delicious food.
"Strange..." Lei Huo looked at the situation around him and mused, "It is normal that the lord and Jueying have not arrived, but shouldn't we be surrounded by the defense forces at this moment?"
King Kong didn't answer because he didn't know the reason. He just chewed iron blocks to reserve energy and physical strength to prepare for any unknown situation that might happen next.
"I ordered the troops to stay away from you. It is too dangerous and meaningless for ordinary people to approach here." An officer in HL uniform came out of a dark corner. When his face came into the light, Lei Huo He and King Kong both recognized this long-famous master - Jason Luca.
"Enemies who can't be hurt by heavy weapons should not consider using guns to solve the problem." A man with flaming paper patterns floating on half of his face, wearing a windbreaker and a hat, walked out from the other side. On this day when the new emperor ascended the throne, Paper Man deliberately did not wear the uniform with the words "supreme royal power" on it, because he felt that these four words were not what Krauser, who was about to ascend the throne, was pursuing.
"Speaking of which, we are really carrying the burden. As soon as the war in Shuangying County ended, others took over the defense of the western front. And we were transferred to such a high-pressure place of right and wrong, and we just happened to catch up in front of us. These two uninvited guests came to visit." Luka sighed in a rather sad tone: "I don't want to die here. Do you guys know the number of my pension?"
/>
"Then do you know how much taxpayers' pensions have been scooped up and spent by your masters?" King Kong's expression looked very serious, without any of his usual joking intentions: "The powerful people spent one night, For a commoner, it may be the result of several years of hard work. For some people, it is easy to get something for nothing, but for others, it is a luxury." He threw away the leftover iron in his hand: "As a Don’t you, the lackeys, not know anything about it? Or, are you simply not ashamed, but proud of it?”
Luka shrugged: "You can curse me, I've heard it a lot, but I'm just a soldier. I can't change the empire's system. What I can do is fulfill my duties and use my strengths to maintain the established order. People In this life, it is not easy to be alone. This world is inherently unfair. Those "commoners" you call them, their scraps of food may be able to save several hungry people in even more miserable situations. Is it possible? Do those hungry people have the right to rush into people’s houses, kill all those who waste food, and get what they need?”
"What kind of order are you maintaining?" Lei Huo's tone was even harsher than King Kong's: "The order you are maintaining is just a rule set up by the royal family to enslave and exploit the people. We just want to replace that order and kill That group of people!"
Paper Man sneered: "Hmph... don't think that your 'parliament' is more noble than the royal family. If they had no selfish motives, they would not choose today to attack Tiandu at all costs." He paused and sighed. : "In fact, it is useless to continue arguing. No one knows what the future will bring. You believe that your parliament will change the world, and I believe that Krauser Wittstock is the person who deserves the most high hopes.
Everyone has something he believes in. If this obsession can be easily changed by a few words or a few things, it only means that... the few of us are just a bunch of mediocre people. "
King Kong said: "Well said, Paper Man..." He smiled: "Since everyone is their own master, there is no right or wrong, only success or failure!"
This statement seemed to put a stop to the conversation between the four people and set a conclusion.
In an instant, the fighting spirit arose, and the murderous intention surged. Four figures rushed together, and the violent energy fought in one place and turned into a physical entity. Using the ability of thunder and fire as a guide, the brilliance appeared, the light exploded, and in a few seconds, the energy exploded. The surrounding streets and the outer wall armor on the Tiandu side were blasted into a mess. (To be continued.
