A battle started with an attack and ended at an extremely fast speed. With the enemy's true combat power limited and the commander dead at the first opportunity, no qualified opponent was encountered during the entire operation. The enemy successfully achieved his goal easily.
However, four aircraft, three transport planes and three squad members destroyed a well-defended base. In the eyes of many people, it is an incredible thing, but Xiao Ran and the deformed fighter planes combined The subsequent fighting power turned this unbelievable into a real reality.
It also allowed these people to see what it meant to have the strength to confront an army head-on.
Three transport planes were dispatched together with the transforming fighter planes. When they returned to the freighter, the team seemed to have doubled. The transport helicopters had become six, and the three ASs that had gone out also doubled on the freighter. .
The three new ASs that appeared are all third-generation ASs that are more advanced than the M6, and unlike ordinary ASs, these three specially shipped units are all special units equipped with λ-DRIVER. When used by the right person, the combat power it can exert is more powerful than the ordinary third-generation AS.
The three machines that were transported back were all things that Yulan dug out from the collapsed warehouse. They seemed to be a little dirty from the outside, and there were some dents in some places on the outer armor, but in fact However, it did not affect the integrity of these three machines at all.
It's just the fragments of a collapsed warehouse that can't really cause much damage to such an AS. Among the three machines, one is red, and the two are blue and gray. They are all made by Amalgam. They are the machines used by commanders and execution force elites. They were covered under the ruins before they could join the battle. Xiao Ran was completely advantaged.
Xiao Ran got these machines back naturally to strengthen the strength of this plundering team. The M6 could not bring out the true strength of Yulan Yufang, the twin sisters. In addition, there was also a mercenary CL who was a former executive force, and the three It can be said that the owner of the machine has been determined.
At the beginning, Xiao Ran only brought the M6 as a transportation tool, and did not regard these three M6s as real combat forces at all.
After everything was contained and the deformed fighter plane controlled by Xiao Ran in the form of a fortress also landed on the ground in Gnaku, the hatch above was slowly closed, blocking off the rising sun.
After getting off the transforming fighter plane and looking at the crowded Gnaku after just one operation, Xiao Ran also shook his head slightly. This freighter was not really built to load AS, so even if It has an area the same as the Son of Danu's Gnaku, but in fact it is not as large as the Son of Danu's cargo capacity, and the layout is not so reasonable due to the limitations of the hull.
The problem of the lifting platform alone is a big trouble. Not every AS and transport helicopter has a lifting platform. It is convenient for the AS to walk up to the lifting platform and contact the transport aircraft, but the transport aircraft does not have such a function. Therefore, every time you move and recycle, you must manually rely on equipment to transport the transport aircraft to the designated place and put it away, which is very troublesome.
At least when Xiao Ran left Gnaku, the entire Gnaku was very noisy. Everyone was busy seizing the time to deal with the tedious tasks brought to them by completing the operation.
Not long after returning to the room, Xiao Ran, who had just changed his clothes and took a shower, opened his door and let in the two sisters Lin Quan Dunxin, Lang Ba, and Yu Fang Yulan who were waiting outside.
Atshin Hayashi is still wearing the same white suit. He always keeps his hair neat and meticulous at all times, and he also wears clothes of the same color but with slightly different styles.
The two sisters Langba and Yufang Yulan were not like Xiao Ran, who could just go back to their room and take a comfortable bath without caring about anything after returning to the freighter. Instead, they had to do things in Gnaku They can't leave until they are almost too busy and no longer needed.
Xiao Ran's upper body was only covered with a white towel at this time, revealing the perfect muscles strengthened by Prometheus. Although it did not feel like a real muscular man, it looked very powerful.
After sitting on the sofa, Xiao Ran took a document from Lin Quan Dunxin's hand, opened it and saw clearly listed all the results of their mission, three transport planes, three AS, There are two gold boxes of miscellaneous items (famous paintings, wine, various collectibles), and the information and data deliberately collected by the action team are still being processed. There is no way to know whether there is any important information.
Putting the file on the table casually, Xiao Ran glanced at the twin sisters standing in a row with expressionless faces, then at Lang Ba who was leaning against the wall in the back and looking bored, and finally faced the elegant girl standing in front of him. Lin Quan Dunxin said: "The biggest gain from this operation is that the three machines actually tested our mobility. At least for now, I think the results are pretty good."
"Although there is nothing too valuable in this stronghold, it is just a matter of convenience. As long as it is a stronghold of Amalgam, whether there is any gain is not the key. What is important is that we weaken the strength of Amalgam. Purpose."
"Just watch and deal with those messy things. Just bring me some wine. I'll also try what the wine collected by Commander Amalgam tastes like."
Xiao Ran also smiled when he said this. Although Xiao Ran usually doesn't drink much, and even if he drinks, he won't get drunk like ordinary people. However, drinking some in his spare time is a common thing. In the 0079 world, in the SEED world , in the crew world, Xiao Ran would often have a few drinks to entertain himself.
Xiao Ran couldn't say exactly when he developed this habit, but it seemed that it was Cartiers and Cruze who really brought it up, and Xiao Ran gradually fell in love with the feeling of stimulating the mouth and throat. , so after seeing that there was a batch of fine wine in the harvest, Xiao Ran couldn't control his greed.
Two large boxes of gold and many famous paintings may be a huge amount of wealth to most people, but to people like Lin Quan Dunxin, they may not really be eye-catching, just a little bit. Just value.
However, as the plundering operation continues, it is very likely that more wealth will be plundered in the next operation. If accumulated, it will be a considerable amount of income, so Lin Quanduxin does not really look down on these. something.
The end of the first operation was a test of the combat strength of this plundering team, confirming that their temporary miscellaneous army indeed had the power to fight against an army. Of course, if it were not for Xiao Ran, the miscellaneous army would be just It is impossible for a miscellaneous army to have such power.
It also made Lin Quan Dunxin see how powerful and terrifying Xiao Ran was. What he witnessed with his own eyes was always more shocking than what he heard about on the road, so he also became more respectful in his words and actions. This is a kind of respect for the strong. Due respect, but whether Xiao Ran can convince him even more in the next time, and convince the entire Lin Quan family and all collaborators, will require Xiao Ran to show stronger strength and better leadership skills. .
Lin Quandunxin nodded and asked: "Then what is our next goal?"
Xiao Ran groaned and said: "Although this operation has achieved some gains, in my opinion, it has not achieved the goal I expected. Although I have been mentally prepared, the sooner we can get the important equipment and materials we need, , the development speed there will be faster.”
"The next operation will directly target the important facilities, factories or research institutes of amalgam. I will tell you after the specific targets are determined. There is no need to change our direction and we will continue to move towards the north."
Lin Quandun nodded: "Okay, I will inform you later."
"Well." Xiao Ran turned to look at the silent twin sisters and said: "Yulan Yufang, you should have a better understanding of the three recovered ASs, and cooperate with the technicians on the ship to adjust the bodies to what you can use. To that extent, the three airframes will be piloted by the two of you and CL, and the airframes will be allocated by yourself."
As the elder sister, she nodded expressionlessly: "Yes."
"Go." Xiao Ran waved his hands to the two of them, and after the two sisters walked out of the room, he continued to say to Lin Quan Dunxin: "Let the people below cooperate with them, but let the people on the ship pay more attention to these two people. If there is anything unusual, just tell me or Lang Ba."
Lin Quan Dunxin glanced at the closed door, nodded slightly and said: "These two people have always given me a very dangerous feeling. My heart tells me to be careful about them, so I will pay attention even if you don't tell me. But Xiao Sir, can you feel at ease with such a person?"
"There's nothing to worry about. These two are just emotionless tools, loyal and fearless. But it's a pity that they never really obey my orders, but obey their teacher's words. The reason for staying here is also that They were told to follow my arrangements, so as long as they don't get updated orders, there is no threat to us."
"For this, just disconnect them. What's more, they don't have any threat from this ability, so they can use it with confidence. As for that man, I can just give him what he expects, and he has no power to resist me. Before, he knew what he should and shouldn't do because of his intelligence, so you don't have to worry about these things, you just need to make people watch their every move."
After talking to Lin Quan Dunxin and asking him about the situation in Japan, Lin Quan Dunxin also said goodbye and left, leaving Xiao Ran and Lang Ba in the room.
After all three unrelated people left, Lang Ba sat directly opposite Xiao Ran and said helplessly: "Captain, a base has only completed 4% of the completion rate. Do you want us to move it?" You need to scan all of Amalgam’s strongholds and bases to complete the mission.”
One of Amalgam's bases was destroyed by Xiao Ran himself, but the main mission was only completed by 4%. There were still twenty-four such bases to be killed before the mission was completed.
This is what Lang Ba is worried about. If the twenty-four bases are swept down, their combat power can be said to be seriously insufficient, and various unplanned dangers will arise due to the prolongation of time. Amalgam cannot be eliminated. Twenty-four bases were set out for them to attack one by one. After having learned a lesson, they would still be unprepared.
It will only become more difficult to deal with each time, and cause more trouble each time.
Let’s not talk about whether Amalgam has so many such bases, but just one or two being destroyed like this is enough for Amalgam to pay attention to it. If you walk too much at night, you are afraid of meeting ghosts, not to mention that they are still planning to let the entire The world has been plunged into an amalgam of fighting. Maybe at some point we will be ambushed by the other party, and something might really happen.
However, Xiao Ran was not worried at all when he saw that the main quest 2 was only completed at 4%. So what if it was 4%. Even if it was only 1%, Xiao Ran still had the confidence to complete the task well. The weakening of the amalgam was necessary. Yes, the more bases they deal with, the less pressure there will be later.
The more materials that are plundered for amalgam, the stronger one's own strength will be. Simply relying on raiding amalgam strongholds is certainly not the best way to complete the task, and it is also the most dangerous and laborious. The worst way.
Xiao Ran's purpose this time is to complete the second main task, which is also to plunder the amalgam equipment, but the priority is of course to plunder the equipment. As for the task, of course it is to plunder the equipment and complete it at the same time, and the speed of completion The difficulty is actually not as difficult as Langba thought.
When it comes to hostile forces, there is actually more than just Amalgam. Xiao Ran, who has experienced so many missions and understands the trends of various worlds, knows very well what justice represents, and the most critical one is The most important thing is peace and protection.
Although it cannot be said that those who disturb the peace must be bad guys and evil, they are in opposition to peace and the protection of nature. Xiao Ran only needs to determine his own position, then naturally he can try all the guys who disturb the peace to see if they belong to the mission. part.
If so, the Soviet Union and the United States, two countries that are preparing to provoke a world war, can also be counted among them. Dealing with the Soviet Union and the United States is much easier than dealing with amalgam.
