After arranging the departure time of the mechanical mixed brigade in the afternoon, Xiao Ran re-exchanged the command here to Kojima, the captain of the mechanical mixed brigade who had not yet arrived, and he drove with the few members of the heretical MS brigade. As MS left this temporary base built for renovation and search and rescue, it was natural that he also brought with him Second Lieutenant Shiro Amada, who was already one of the members of the brigade.
About twenty mobile suits landed on the ground from the air about ten kilometers away from the Zeon Army base, and gradually approached the Zeon Army's base by marching on land. The closer to the base, the sparser the dense forest became. It was not until two peaks that were almost next to each other were seen in the distance that the MS troops stopped.
One of the two peaks appears to be flat-topped, while the other has a pointed top. The flat-topped one is where the Zeon military base in the intelligence is located, and the other one is the background mountain that was shot through by Apsaras 3 in Xiao Ran's memory.
Elf compared the current location of the team, calculated the distance and said to Xiao Ran in the communication channel: "This distance is about the same. Although there is interference from Mie particles, no matter how close we are, we will still break in." In their sight."
"The current distance is about ten kilometers. At our speed, it will take about twenty minutes to reach the target location and go directly into action. It will take me thirty minutes to penetrate and understand the Zeon military body, ten minutes for the operation, and one hour for you. Attack the Zeon military base on time to cause chaos and meet us.”
With that said, Elf sat in the cockpit of the aircraft, took off the helmet on his head, took out an assault rifle from behind the chair, held it in his hand and checked it, but he didn't know where it came from. I took out a few grenades somewhere. Two pistols were hung on the pilot's uniform.
Xiao Ran, who was sitting in the black heretic cockpit, looked at Elf's preparations and nodded: "Okay, I will start the attack on the Zeon military base on time in an hour. You should also be careful."
"I will pay attention to the safety of the newcomers. Bring them back one at a time." Elf nodded gently, but he was even more indifferent to his own safety. But after all, he is a participant with the blood of a demon. Elf's own abilities are terrifying enough. As a participant, his body value is completely beyond that of ordinary people. There is no problem at all with how many shots he gets. Coupled with the demon's bloodline ability, as long as you don't seek death yourself, it is really not easy to die in a gunfight.
Elf is like this, and Rukino Saki is certainly the same. As for the Basak people to be brought, that is, those Berserkers, although their self-recovery ability is not as strong as that of Demon Envoys, and as new humans, they do not have the different weird abilities of real participants, but they are still members of the Berserker clan. , even if you choose to use fists instead of firearms, it is very easy to deal with the soldiers of the Zeon Army.
Except for the communication between Xiao Ran and Al Elf, all other members remained silent at this time, until Al Elf contacted several other MSs and notified the people who had been selected long ago. In the silence, the cockpit suddenly opened. He left the machine body with the weapon, and under the leadership of Al Elf, he dived into the woods that had begun to become sparse, and soon disappeared without a trace.
No one left with Al Elf. Then he consciously surrounded the bodies of Al Elf and others, and quietly waited for the last hour that Xiao Ran sent a message from the communication to tell them. In this hour, it was time to close their eyes. Rest and rest, kill time when it is time, but do not forget to pay attention to maintain due vigilance within the enemy's sphere of influence.
Time passed slowly for more than fifty minutes. Xiao Ran, who had closed his eyes to cultivate himself, opened his eyes instantly as if he was awakened by an alarm. Looking at the one-hour countdown on the screen, he sat upright and placed his fingers on the body. Press on the operating platform. After connecting all the communication, he also said: "Leave three people to guard the machine. The rest take action and start attacking the Zeon military base!"
"yes."
"receive."
… …
Each voice gave feedback through the communication. The three people who voluntarily stayed behind also drove the machine and chose a new place to disperse, and began to guard the machine that Elf and others had left without anyone piloting it.
Xiao Ran stepped on the pedals, pressed twice on the operation panel, gently pulled the operating lever back with his right hand, and pushed forward with his left hand. The black heretic was directly under his control. The power of the whole body thrusters shot up into the sky. The thrusters behind the other MS suddenly exploded, and with the sudden squatting of their feet, they suddenly rushed into the sky, turned around in the air, reorganized their formation, and flew quickly in the direction of the Zeon military base.
Due to the loss of Elf and the others, the team of twenty mobile suits originally only had about ten mobile suits after including the three guards. Such a number of mobile suits attacked the Zeon army's base. It looked like a joke, but even though it looked like a joke, Zeon cooperated and acted out the joke.
Even when Xiao Ran and the other MSs rushed into the Zeon military base, no normal defense was organized here. Only a few MSs symbolically resisted for a while, and then they were attacked by the MS troops led by Xiao Ran. Falling to the ground, the defensive turrets and other means that were supposed to be effective also remained silent from beginning to end, not to mention the large mammoth that should have appeared.
From a distance, Xiao Ran saw Al Elf standing in front of a platform in the middle of the mountain peak that had been completely transformed into a military base. After calmly firing a signal flare representing safety, he turned around and walked in again. in the base.
"The entire base has been taken down, just Elf and the others?"
Xiao Ran raised his eyebrows, not that he doubted that El Elf didn't have this ability. Xiao Ran believed that as long as there was enough time to prepare, it would not be impossible for Al Elf to capture the base by just one person, but the key point was that How long did it take for the Zeon Army base to show no response at all
However, Xiao Ran didn't know how bad the situation of this base belonging to the Zeon army was. After Zeon's large-scale retreat from the universe, this base seemed to be forgotten. There is no longer any supplies, and all kinds of supplies are in serious shortage, including medicines. Food, ammunition, etc. In terms of personnel, seventy-eight percent of them were wounded at this time.
The previous sniper attack on the federal army during the air defense battle was already considered to be the majority of the force that this base could invest. Its main purpose was also to gain the final completion time for the killer machine in the base, but The machine body was completed, but I didn't expect that at the last moment, Elf and a swarm of people would pick it up, and all the preparations were in vain.
Xiao Ran piloted the Black Heretic and landed from the middle of the mountain at the Zeon Army Base. He almost watched the huge machine land on the Zeon Army's MS launch platform from beginning to end, and stopped right next to the huge machine. . Compared to the huge reminder of Apsaras 3, the Black Heretic is just a tiny person standing next to this ma. The difference in body shape is really too big.
Grasping the lifting rope, he came down from the cockpit of the Black Heretic and landed next to Rukino Saki, who had been waiting for him again. Only then did Xiao Ran ask strangely: "What's going on?"
Rukino Saki naturally knew what Xiao Ran was asking. He didn't know what he thought of and sighed softly. He shook his head and said: "There are not many people in this base, except for a few soldiers who can still fight." , most of them were wounded soldiers who had lost their ability to fight, and we occupied this base without much resistance."
"In this base. There is also a ship launch platform. When we came, the wounded soldiers and logistics personnel in the base were preparing to board the ship and evacuate. There were only a few people in the entire base carrying out activities. So there was no It took too much effort to get the situation under control, especially since El Elf took control of the control systems of this base.”
It sounds like a fantasy for less than ten people to occupy a base, but if you take into account Elf's ability, the strength of the participants, and the current situation of the Zeon military base, and the many conditions are added together, then It's not impossible.
Xiao Ran nodded and asked, "What about the technicians?"
"Technical staff..." Rukino Saki shook his head again and said: "There are no technical staff anymore, but we found one in charge of the developer and the commander of this base. At that time, he was standing next to the machine body with a bloody head. "
"Huh?" Xiao Ran glanced at Ruminosaki in confusion, not understanding what Ruminosaki meant. Although I know a lot of things about this plot, after all, I can only dig it out from my memory. Xiao Ran really couldn't remember many unimportant details.
In the development of an airframe, in addition to one person who is the chief supervisor and is in charge of the entire airframe development process, there are also many technical personnel who will join in the development work. In addition to people like Luo who cannot be described by common sense, In addition, it is simply impossible for one person to develop a machine. Even Luo had no experience in developing a machine before becoming Xiao Ran's follower.
Xiao Ran knew that this MA was developed by Aina Sakhalin's brother. Of course, being able to preside over the development of a project is enough to prove that this man has extremely excellent technical strength. Naturally, the person caught by Rukino Saki and the others is It would be enough for this man to catch such a technician, but it would be best if there were more technicians for this project. Therefore, Xiao Ran's statement to Rukino Saki that there were no technicians was indeed a bit baffling. .
"what happened?"
"They are all dead. They were poisoned." Rukino Saki looked at Xiao Ran, shook his head and said, "It seems that everyone in the canteen of this base was poisoned to death during a celebration party. In addition to the technical staff, this one was also included. Many other people in the base, including some officers, were the reason why we encountered almost no resistance when we invaded. It was unbelievable that they would be poisoned to death by their own commanders."
"Is he the one who poisoned me?" Xiao Ran was stunned for a moment, and several blurry images suddenly flashed through his mind. In his memory, Xiao Ran felt that the man was a crazy person, but he didn't know where this knowledge came from. Yes, in addition to killing his own sister, it seems that poisoning his colleagues was also the key reason.
"Yes." Rukino Saki nodded, and said with one hand on his chest and one on his head: "That's him. This man looks crazy just looking at him. I never expected that he would be crazy enough to do such a thing."
"Judging from the information found in this base, this man's name is Gillias Sakhalin, and the development of this MA was ordered to stop by Zeon long ago, and this base should have been abandoned and returned to the universe long ago. , but I don’t know why I still stay here to develop this ma.”
"For merit and honor." Al Elf's voice suddenly intervened in the conversation between the two, and Xiao Ran saw Al Elf's figure turning out of a corner and walking towards him: "Because he feels that the aircraft he created can change the situation of this war and destroy the federal army's Gabro Base. In fact, this aircraft does have such capabilities."
"If this machine succeeds in destroying Gabro Base, then he will become a hero of Zeon, will receive huge credit and countless honors, and will be able to bring his family, which has begun to perish, back on its feet. Get up. And killing those people with poison is not only to eliminate the opponents, but also to monopolize all the credit after success."
Xiao Ran really forgot that Gillias Sakhalin poisoned his colleagues, which seemed to have been reflected in the plot. He only remembered that this guy was really crazy for the purpose of re-growing the family, but he didn't expect that The madness reached such an extent that Xiao Ran frowned slightly.
Speaking of which, this guy should be a chuunibyou patient living in his own world. Compared to a real crazy conspirator like Cruze, his level is still much lower, but Xiao Ran can accept a real crazy conspirator like Cruze. A crazy conspirator, how could a mere chuunibyou patient not accept it? Some people who were insignificant and had nothing to do with him died. It was just a joke to say that there would be any fluctuations in Xiao Ran's heart. Xiao Ran What I worry about is whether such people can be controlled well or not.
But for a person who can achieve this level of success for the sake of family development, how can such an obvious shortcoming not be easy to utilize and control? (.)
