Not long after, countless drones flew out from the fleet and war fortress. These drones have certain combat capabilities, especially in terms of mobility, but their main function is still for reconnaissance. , so they also have special features in terms of stealth capabilities. These drones are all upgraded and transformed from the former ghost drones. They also have the ability to jump alone and transmit ultra-long distance information, and are dedicated to wide areas or The control system of the small machine developed through in-depth investigation is not a super AI, but just a normal intelligent AI.
There were a lot of unmanned reconnaissance drones flying out from various warships and war fortresses. It could be said that they were densely packed. After flying for a certain distance, they got into the fold channel that appeared in front one by one. Some relatively conspicuous movements were briefly made, but they quickly disappeared without a trace. They jumped directly to the designated location through fold, lurking or patrolling to observe all situations. These drones spread out, at least in the next connection. For a long time, the situation of the Burning Legion in this solar system will not become truly deaf and blind.
Not long after the drone left, the reconnaissance team that went to the moon for reconnaissance also sent a letter back, confirming that there was nothing unusual on the back of the moon. Then the entire fleet's jump began, and the entrance to the huge fold channel appeared in front of the fleet. After all the warships and war fortresses entered, they slowly disappeared, and then reappeared on the back of the moon.
The back side of the moon, the side that always faces away from the earth, is the most typical dark place under the lamp for the earth. Such a huge fleet and a war fortress appeared here, and the earth side did not even notice the slightest sign. Little did they know that a terrifying force capable of suppressing the entire earth had fallen upon them.
After coming out of the fold jump channel, Xiao Ran stood up from his position, put his hand on Ma Liu's shoulder beside him, and said: "I'll leave it to you to make arrangements here. Leonard and I will bring some first. People travel to Earth and stay in communication at all times.”
"Yes." Ma Liu nodded and turned to look at Xiao Ran: "How many people need to be taken down, and do you need to make any special preparations."
"It's not necessary for the time being. It's not appropriate to make too much noise when we go down this time. We need to investigate the situation on Earth first, contact various forces, and find a ship to go down to cooperate with us." Xiao Ran shook his head and said: "In terms of personnel, I, Leonard, Al Elf, Kane, and Shinye will just lead some intelligence personnel and landing operators."
"If you don't mind, I would also like to go and have a look." Kruse came over and said: "You might as well bring Basak with you. Since we are not going to make too much noise for the time being, we must consider the situation when we are not driving the machine. situations that may arise.”
Basak was still napping when he suddenly opened his eyes when he heard his name. His two big eyes looked innocently in Xiao Ran's direction.
Xiao Ran looked at Cruze and Basak, nodded and said, "Okay, in that case, Saki and Yujian Mingye will follow me down."
Yujian Mingye, who had not appeared for a long time, got the opportunity to appear again. As a disciple of Zeng Jia and also a bodyguard of Xiao Ran, Yujian Mingye now also has good strength, and he has considerable abilities without piloting the machine. Combat power, it can be useful if something happens to the earth.
Of course, if anything happens, it shouldn't be a problem. A normal landing force for small situations is completely sufficient. That's the Burning Legion's landing force. Everyone has a standard man-made Tejaman armor. It's enough to fight against AS in a one-on-one fight. If there really is a bigger situation where the machine is directly teleported from the far side of the moon to the front, everything will be solved. Now that the legion has mastered a certain degree of space technology, in fact, even if it carries the machine It's just a small storage terminal, and there is no need to consider security at all.
The main purpose of going down this time is to contact and investigate the condition of the earth first, and then use this to confirm the next step. When the time comes, more people may be allowed to go to the earth.
The matter was settled in this way, and the people whose names were called began to prepare. Elf and Kane would be the main force in the preliminary investigation. Of course, they would not be the only two people, and a group of professional and qualified intelligence would be selected. Personnel is a must. It didn't take long for an intelligence team composed entirely of magic envoys to be selected by the two of them. The group of people plus sufficient members of the landing force transferred to another small Macross-class battleship. After breaking away from the fleet, it was completely invisible and began to fly towards the earth.
Everyone who arrived on the transfer, including Xiao Ran, received a 'gift' from Luo, a customized artificial Tiejiaman armor. In fact, Xiao Ran's artificial Tiejiaman armor had been customized a long time ago, but it was never available. I have used it, Saki has it, and Mitsurugi Meiya has it. If there is no one, it is Aiba Shinno. The intelligence team and the people in the landing force have their own armor, but it is just a mass-produced standard version. That’s all.
Xiao Ran, Cruze's Iron Man armor emphasizes firepower, Elf and Kane emphasize speed and weirdness, Basak and Yujian Mingye emphasize close combat capabilities, and Leonard's armor is made by himself. Manufacturing, unlike others, has a lambda system, but other aspects are relatively balanced.
In order not to cause panic and chaos on the earth, Xiao Ran and the others first interfered with the satellite and then landed on the ocean, and finally landed on the ocean.
In the bridge, Xiao Ran looked at Leonard, who seemed a little silent, and asked, "Reynard, what are your plans?"
"First, we need to confirm how much the current situation on earth has changed from when we left. I'm going to find people who have been exposed to amalgam and use the power of amalgam for my own use again. Mithril... No, Tessa's side is It’s up to you to make contact, and then determine whether an interloper has appeared on Earth.”
Xiao Ran nodded: "Who do you want to cooperate with you?"
Leonard glanced at the people on the bridge and said: "Cruze, Kane, Basak, I will take another landing force."
"good."
Cruze and Kane are very suitable to deal with the amalgam matter together with Leonard. As for Basak, he is purely a representative of force. Regarding the current situation of amalgam, Xiao Ran and Leonard have no thought at all. This situation will no longer exist after Amalgam. The organization Amalgam is like Hydra in the Marvel world. It is not so easy to be completely eliminated, even if Xiao Ran gave them a disaster when he was in this world. , but how can the amalgam, which has already penetrated every corner of the world with its power, be completely eliminated? Xiao Ran's departure gave them a chance to breathe, and as long as they have this opportunity, they can develop again.
The amalgam situation must also be very complicated. It’s unclear what it will look like now. With Cruze and Kane assisting Leonard, it will be easier with the abilities of these two guys. Arrange the amalgam up and down.
There was Leonard and the others on the Amalgam side, but what was the situation on the Mithril side? Leonard asked Xiao Ran to get in touch with Mithril. He didn't know how to face his sister, but at the same time Leonard I also know that if Xiao Ran is watching Tessa, Tessa will definitely not be in danger. Finally, Leonard knows something about his sister, and letting Xiao Ran go can slow down Tessa's lovesickness. Sad.
Leonard did not stay in the battleship for too long. After some preparations, he, Cruze, Kane, and Basak, along with some intelligence personnel and a landing combat force, approached an unmanned area on the ship. After reaching the coastline, we left directly under the cover of night. Without any nonsense or reluctance, we quickly disappeared into the darkness.
"El Elf, first collect relevant information from the Internet and see if you can get in touch with Mithril."
Elf nodded and started to operate, while Xiao Ran sat on the seat under the captain's seat, thinking about the next move.
It is necessary to contact Mithril first. When there are intruders in this world, it is priority to contact Mithril first to confirm Tessa's safety. This is obtained from Mithril for Leonard's sake. The information will be more and more accurate than the current self-investigation in a short period of time, and Xiao Ran also needs to determine the location of Chidori, find Chidori and take it into his own hands.
At the same time, Xiao Ran was also thinking about what the intruder that appeared this time would be. The previous intruder in the 0079 world was somewhat beyond imagination but seemed to be reasonable. After all, Idian did have There have been special entanglements with the 0079 world, but what about the Full Metal Panic world? What does this world have similar entanglements with
If I have to say it, there must be a lot. After all, the Full Metal series has also joined the mecha war. The mecha war v that I have experienced before and the mecha war j that has become a territory are all the same. Will there be intruders? Maybe it comes from some worlds like this? If this is the case, then there are countless intruders who are likely to appear.
"Contacted."
Xiao Ran raised his head and looked at Elf: "What's the situation?"
El Elf said without looking back: "We have contacted the Son of Danu, who requested us to have a video call."
"Put it through." Xiao Ran nodded and looked towards the front of the bridge. A virtual screen suddenly appeared. The figure displayed on it was Tessa with the same silver hair as Leonard. Tessa and Xiao Ran's memories in the screen Tessa in the movie is already a little different. Her childish face has become a little more mature, although not much but it is more obvious, and she has also grown a little taller.
The expression on Tessa's face seemed a little excited. She crossed her palms on her chest, and her eyes seemed to be staring at Xiao Ran from the other side: "Mr. Xiao... Xiao Ran... is it really you?"
Xiao Ran stood up from the chair and smiled slightly, with a calmer attitude than Tessa: "It's me, long time no see."
Tessa was about to smile, but suddenly stopped: "Eyes... your eyes?"
Xiao Ran smiled: "A small problem will not affect anything."
Rukino Saki did not appear in the scene. He stood aside and looked at the girl on the screen. Leonard's appearance naturally appeared in his mind. He tilted his head and pursed his lips and snickered, then looked at Xiao Ran with an unpredictable smile. Toru revealed what she was thinking.
Tessa nodded gently, without blinking, and remained silent for a few seconds. Suddenly her expression became a little more serious: "Mr. Xiao Ran, I hope to ask you for help."
Xiao Ran frowned slightly: "What's going on?"
Elf turned his head and glanced at Xiao Ran. After typing a few times on the keyboard in front of him, Tessa's screen suddenly shrunk and several different screens popped up. All of these screens showed the battle situation, among which The protagonists who appeared on one side were all huge monsters, while on the other side they were AS in this world. They even flashed through some mobile suits and transforming fighters that could be called MS several times.
In the first video, the time marked is the current time. Several huge monsters are also fighting with the AS, MS and transforming fighter teams.
MS and transforming fighters, related technologies, Xiao Ran had already mastered mithril when he came to this world. It is not surprising that they would appear in this world. As long as there are participants in most worlds, there will be some mess. Change, it is completely normal for these bodies to appear in this world, but the technology is still relatively backward.
Xiao Ran's eyes were focused on these monsters that appeared. Most of these dragon-like monsters made Xiao Ran frown tightly. They felt a little familiar but quite strange. They were not anything he had ever seen before. It's a kind of monster, but it seems that there is such a fleeting impression deep in the memory.
Black, gold, gray, and there are things like gorgeous gems on the body. It always feels a bit familiar, and it is definitely not a native product of this world.
Not only Xiao Ran, but everyone in the bridge looked at the scene created by Elf. Now they at least knew what the intruder was.
Xiao Ran frowned and asked, "What is this?"
When Tessa heard these two words from Xiao Ran, a flash of understanding flashed in her eyes, and she said: "We call this kind of monster a dimensional beast. It is not something that exists in this world. After Mr. Xiao Ran and Leonard disappeared together, In the past six months, this kind of dimensional beast monster appeared for the first time, and that time it brought extremely serious consequences. And until now, almost a month has passed since one or two dimensional beasts appeared in the early stage mode. Over the past year and a half, it has become an evolutionary pattern that appears multiple times.”
"Now all countries have united with all their strength to eliminate dimensional beasts, but so far we have not found any pattern of the appearance of dimensional beasts. We only know that when a dimensional gate similar to that of a dimensional gate appears in the sky and earth, that is when these monsters appear. "
"Dimensional beast." Xiao Ran groaned, nodded and said, "I understand, Elf, confirm the position, captain, prepare to fold and jump."
