Chapter 51: The Situation is Not Good
"Vector, remember to completely put out this bonfire later, so as not to set the surrounding trees on fire." M14 looked at the roasted sweet potatoes, greeted Vector, and handed the sweet potatoes and potatoes in her hand to Jaeger behind her.
"Oh, I see." Vector nodded. On the wooden stick in her hand were several chicken legs that had been marinated in advance.
Probably because she was cutting trees and setting fires outside, Vector was a little hungry. She happened to meet M14 and Jaeger, who came out to roast potatoes. These chicken legs that M14 and Jaeger were tired of eating naturally fell into Vector's hands.
As for why they ran to the bonfire outside to roast potatoes when there was an oven in the spacecraft?
Atmosphere.
Although they didn’t know the exact reason, M14 and Jaeger just thought that the sweet potatoes and potatoes baked this way were more delicious.
Vector, who was roasting chicken legs and staring at the bonfire in front of her, was also a little emotional. She didn't expect that she had just made such a big bonfire in a fit of rage.
With the help of the combustion aid, these firewoods, which were originally fresh logs, were now burning fiercely. It was not an easy task to put out such a fire. Fortunately, she had replaced the energy engine now, so she didn't have to worry about going back to recharge halfway through her work.
She just doesn't know if there are any forest rangers in this area... But there shouldn’t be any, after all, this area is now under the actual outpost of Sangvis Ferri...
Thinking of this, Vector looked up at the smoke column above the bonfire and shrugged her shoulders. Anyway, she had just taken fire prevention measures, and at most she would have to spend more time putting out the fire completely.
Vector, who was beside the campfire, had returned to normal. HK416 and Spectre M4, who had been hugging each other and rolling around in the spaceship, had of course already let go of each other...
Well, rolling around also consumes physical strength...
Although dolls have no physical strength limit at all, the intense exercise speeds up the operation of the digestive system in their bionic modules, and the food they had just eaten was almost "digested."
"Why didn't you leave? I thought you were done here?" HK416 asked M16, who was sitting opposite her and drinking by herself, while eating.
"Well, Gentiane said to stay put and find the doll who had sneaked into this area to collect intelligence before. But now the interference is very strong, and she can only contact the other party during the regular communication at a fixed time, so we can only wait patiently for a while."
"Oh, where are M4 and the others?"
"Maybe they went to play somewhere on the ship again. After all, SOP2 and them can't sit still."
HK416 and M16 were chatting here, but AK12 and the others who were sitting not far away were not so leisurely. Unlike SOP2 and M4, they didn't have cell phones in their hands. At this moment, they had lost the ability to contact Angie at any time due to the interference of Sangvis. Although they could borrow the communicator from Renault, they had just contacted her not long ago, so it was not easy to wait in front of the communicator on the spacecraft.
"What? Is it not delicious?" RPK16 smiled and enjoyed the dinner from G36, watching AK12 and AN94 stuffing the food into their mouths absent-neuraledly.
As for AK15? She had finished eating a long time ago and was now sitting at the table next to them, carefully cleaning the barrel of her imprint weapon with a cleaning rod.
AK12 looked up after hearing this and rolled her eyes at RPK16, who still had a heartless smile on her face. "You are the only one who still has the neural to enjoy the food here slowly. Have you given the things you took from the base to Renault?"
"Oh? Did you see it?"
"Of course, I’m not blind." When saying this, AK12 opened her eyes and looked RPK16 up and down.
As long as she opened her eyes, she knew what the things and equipment RPK16 brought with her before leaving were.
"Well, I've given it to Renault. What happens next has nothing to do with me. You won’t report it directly after you go back, right?" When she said this, RPK16's hands still did not stop moving, as if what the two were talking about had nothing to do with her.
"It has nothing to do with me, at least for the time being."
Although she didn't know what RPK16 did with her previous neural core, this matter had nothing to do with the mission, so she naturally wouldn't waste her time and hold on to it.
Besides, the scan results of RPK16's bag had been deleted by her as redundant data. Although she still remembered it, unless someone carefully tested her memory, the process that lasted less than a second would not be discovered.
"Well, if you want to know the details, you’d better go to Renault directly. Maybe you can see another me in his workshop."
RPK16's words immediately shocked AK12 and AN94, and even AK15, who was pressing bullets into the magazine next to her. They looked at RPK16, who continued to eat, with a suspicious look.
Does this guy... really know what she is doing?
However, AK12 shook her head soon and threw away the idea that suddenly popped up in her mind. Now is not the time to think about these things. The most important thing at the moment is their next course of action.
Angie did not let them evacuate directly from this area, which already explained the situation.
This area was originally under Griffin's control, but because it was sparsely populated and Sangvis Ferri raids appeared from time to time, all the residents in this area had evacuated.
Now Sangvis Ferri has also established such a large artillery platform in this area...
In any case, the scale of Sangvis Ferri's next action is likely to be very large.
You know, such a large artillery platform, plus the range of the Jupiter cannon, is enough to threaten several surrounding Griffin jurisdictions.
And the AR team has not evacuated yet. Obviously, the AR team can contact their commander at any time, so the current situation is that they still have things to do, and the other situation is that they can’t evacuate now.
Of course, if Renault is kind, he can definitely send them anywhere they want to go at any time, but unfortunately, he didn’t. AK12 remembers that Renault only helped a little in a few tasks before, and he got a lot of money from Angelia. So... it's possible that Angelia couldn't pay the bill, so Renault didn’t send them out of the area directly.
Of course, no matter which one, they will probably suffer next. It's really strange, why doesn't RPK16 feel nervous at all?
AK12 frowned with a headache and didn’t notice that when she was holding her forehead, a Dinergate painted white carefully slipped past them.
Chapter 52: I Haven't Done Anything Yet! It's Not Me!
"You really didn't tamper with the locking system?" Frowning, Gager looked at Architect suspiciously. Since Renault promised SOP2 to visit here, this guy seemed to be planning something...
Now, all the Jupiter cannons in the entire base can't accurately lock the coordinates of the entirety of the area. If Architect said she didn't tamper with it, she would never believe it.
"Ahem, don't say that. I did want to tamper with it, but I haven't had time to do it yet..." Architect spread her hands and looked at the control screen of the Jupiter cannon helplessly.
"You...!? Humph! What's going on now!?" Gager said, raising her hand to call out the real-time data detected by the signal station and putting it in front of Architect. She shouted angrily.
"Well, how can I know this? How can I guess what methods those guys in the military used? And I really didn't expect these guys to suddenly attack today!"
Speaking of this, Architect scratched her head, she's bit dumbfounded by this.
It must be said that the current state of these military dolls is similar to what she was planning earlier to do, but the target she chose initially was not these military dolls, but those of Griffin.
After all, only Griffin would always keep an eye on the movements of Sangvis Ferri. Once Griffin discovered her artillery platform, they would definitely send and organize a large number of tactical dolls to infiltrate and attack here.
At that time, she only needed to make the Jupiter Cannon collapse a little bit, and Griffin would gain the upper hand. She could then take advantage of the chaos to run away.
After that, whether she ran to Griffin or directly to Renault for refuge would depend on the entire situation. After all, Renault's spaceship couldn't always be parked not far from the artillery platform.
Of course, her most ideal goal is still Renault's ship.
Didn't you see how comfortably Scarecrow and the others were living with Renault?
She's really envious!
Screw Sangvis Ferri!
Screw the Mainframe!
She will jump ship!
It's just that the sudden appearance of these military dolls disrupted her plan.
Although the number of military dolls detected by the signal station was not large, and they were all ordinary Cyclops, the military obviously couldn't have been unaware that it was impossible to knock down an artillery platform of Sangvis Ferri, defended by many Sangvis units, with just a few Cyclops.
Therefore, Architect could think with her toes that the military must have other tricks or intentions. Anyway, it was definitely not just a matter of using the Jupiter cannon to kill these Cyclops, she had to consider a lot more.
"Anyway, adjust the Jupiter cannon immediately and kill those military dolls. If you can't lock them, let the Scarecrow's Scout provide calibration data!" Gager said, folding her arms and staring at Architect.
Although there was no other expression on her face except annoyance, Gager's mind was in a mess. After all, she had never expected that Architect was actually thinking about how to break away from Sangvis Sangvis Ferri...
"Yes, yes, I'll do it right away. Really, I'm your boss, okay?" Architect shrugged her shoulders and said with a helpless smile.
...
"Hmm? wz.29? Are you back? I'm fine now, and I'm not in a hurry to change shifts." Seeing wz.29 coming in with a book, UMP45, who was lying on the driver's seat lazily, waved her hand and said.
"Uh, I don't have anything else to do, so I'll do it." wz.29 shook her head a little embarrassedly. After all, this was the job she took over from Renault, so it was better to be more diligent.
"Okay, then I'll leave it to you. There really aren't many dolls on the ship who are as diligent as you." Hearing what wz.29 said, UMP45 also shrugged her shoulders and stood up from the driver's seat.
"No, G36 and M1 Garand are usually very responsible." wz.29 scratched her cheek a little embarrassedly and put the book in her hand in front of the console.
"Yes, but they are so very responsible, and are busy all day long. If it weren't for the help of Scarecrow, they probably wouldn't even have time to charge batteries. Um, What is this? Pharmacy? Are you studying this?"
Seeing the cover of the book that wz.29 put down, UMP45 raised her eyebrows. It was the first time she saw someone among the tactical dolls interested in this aspect.
"Well, it can't be said to be learning; it should be considered as reviewing. After being repaired by Commander Renault, I remembered a lot of knowledge about pharmacy, probably from before I became a tactical doll of G&K."
"Well, it's a good thing to be able to remember it. Of course, if you need any equipment or information, remember to ask Renault directly. That guy is not a stingy commander," UMP45 said.
However, when walking to the bridge door, UMP45 seemed to suddenly remember something, turned around, and pointed at the screen in front of the driver's seat, "By the way, the ship's detection system just detected a lot of military dolls. I have already told Renault about it. Just remember to keep an eye on them."
After saying that, UMP45 waved her hand and walked out freely. G11, who had escaped from HK416 before, said that she wanted to find UMP9 to watch a movie with her. She doesn't know if 9 was scared of it, considering it's a horror movie.
Well, probably not, after all, UMP40 with her, and UMP40 is quite courageous.
"Uh? Military dolls?" Looking at the closed bridge hatch, wz.29 tilted her head and looked up at the ship's detection system, which clearly showed the movements of the group of military dolls. The number of dolls was clearly visible, with both zeros and whole numbers, and even the models of these military dolls and the equipment they were equipped with were displayed.
But if you just stare at them, there shouldn't be any problem, right? Moreover, these military dolls should be heading for the Sangvis Ferri base not far from the spaceship, which has nothing to do with them.
As for why they are not heading for their spaceship, it is, of course, because the spaceship has been flying all the way here. Except for leaving information when entering the city, no air traffic control can detect the existence of the spaceship at other times.
In addition, the area where they are docked is still the outpost of Sangvis Ferri Manufacturing. At present, except for Sangvis Ferri, only the AR team and AK12 on the ship know that they are here.
Whether it is the AR team or Task Force DEFY, they have only been here for less than a day. Even if they spread the news and the military mobilized manpower to act. Their speed shouldn't be so fast, right?
You have to know that this area is dozens or hundreds of kilometers away from the nearest military station. It is absolutely impossible for them to come so quickly.
"Huh? These dolls... how come they carry so many..."
Chapter 53: How Do You Feel?
"No one is coming?" Renault raised his eyebrows and looked helplessly at Scarecrow standing beside him, who was ready to help.
He suspected that the dolls at home were so happy with their meal that they forgot about the energy core replacement he had told them about before the meal.
"Maybe they were scared by the state of HK416 and Vector." Although she said this, Scarecrow also felt that the dolls might have really forgotten about it. After all, Renault only mentioned it before the meal.
"Uh, I'd better notify them again."
Scarecrow was also a little helpless. All the preparations had been made, and they were just waiting for the dolls to come. As a result, these guys didn't come one by one. She couldn't pull them over individually, right?
...
Doll Dormitory.
"Huh? Scarecrow is notifying us to go to the commander's workshop to replace our new energy core?" M200, who was maintaining a weapon, was stunned when she saw the message. She turned her head and looked at RFB, who was playing games with Ouroboros. "Are you going now? We may have to queue up in a while."
"Ah? Replace the energy core? What's the big deal..." RFB was about to shake her head and refuse, but her eyes suddenly caught a glimpse of the power cord on the game console in her hand. "Wait! Is it the same one that AR15 replaced before!?"
The energy engine used by AR15—since she replaced it, she seems to have never seen AR15 charging!
And that guy would connect a wire directly from her body to charge her mobile phone from time to time!
A power bank anytime, anywhere!
For her, RFB, it is simply perfect! As long as she replaces her energy core, she will never have to worry about the game console in her hand running out of power!
"Yes, the commander seemed to have mentioned it before dinner. When I went there before, Spectre M4 seemed to be being in the process of replacing hers so I came back. Now the commander should be free for now..."
"I'll go now! Ouroboros! Hurry up! If you're late, you'll miss it!"
"Huh!? Ah! Wait! Wait! You should pause for a moment!"
It is estimated that there will be no other dolls with a reaction similar to RFB. After all, apart from RFB, no doll will be happy because they have become a large power bank.
But even so, the dolls who received the notification from Scarecrow also walked towards the workshop in twos and threes.
Thanks to RFB's enthusiasm, and the fact that she was the only one who ran over, she really became the first doll lying on the workbench when many people arrived.
Of course, Renault had nothing to say about this. He would change it one by one when they came. Anyway, he had enough energy engines prepared. Except for the Ripper and Vespid, whose bodies had not been replaced, all the dolls in the house could be replaced.
In addition to the dolls that came one after another, HK416 and Spectre M4, who had just replaced their energy engines, were also called over. Spectre M4 was holding a lunch box in her hand and eating on a small stool next to her.
The main reason for calling them over was to prevent a situation like Vector and HK416.
Although HK416 was touched by alcohol, it is not entirely ruled out that dolls will also make a scene after being full of energy like Vector.
But fortunately, Vector is probably really special. Even A-91, who has been drunk all year round, did not do anything strange after replacing her energy core. At most, she looked much more energetic.
And thanks to the module reserved by Renault when making the doll body, the work of replacing the energy engine went very smoothly. After several dolls, Scarecrow became more and more skilled in operating.
From the beginning, Renault took action and Scarecrow helped, and then became two people replacing the dolls's power cores at the same time.
It only took two hours in total, and the energy core replacement work for all the dolls in the house was completed. However, the dolls did not leave immediately because they still had to go to the repair pod to repair their bionic skins.
It was just that Renault forgot that there were not many bionic skin repair materials left at home. When he repaired M16 before, he used up a little of the materials in the repair chamber.
Now M1 Garand has gone to the warehouse to check inventory. There should be a few barrels of emergency stock in the warehouse.
M1 Garand deliberately put them away as emergency reserves, but she didn't expect that this emergency reserve would be used not long after.
"What a pity. M4, if you went with us and had also changed your body, you could ask Commander Renault to help you replace the new energy engine now." SOP2 moved her arms, feeling the abundant energy in her body, and said to M4 with some regret.
"This... Persica and Griffin probably won't agree..." M4 shook her head helplessly. If AR15 hadn't run away from the Griffin base because of the infection of the Parapulei virus, neither Persica nor Griffin would agree to Renault's operation on AR15's body.
She, M16, and RO are still Griffin's dolls now, so Renault probably won't replace them directly...
Of course, Renault hasn't really considered replacing the bodies of M4 and the others. In addition to preparing to replace all his dolls with new energy cores, he is also considering how to improve their costly doll bodies.
After all, everyone in the house is a big iron lump, each weighing hundreds of kilograms. For a doll, it is undoubtedly overweight.
However, because there was no urgent need before, and now that a new energy engine has been installed, the weight is no longer a serious burden when the energy is sufficient, and the schedule for replacing their bodies can be slightly postponed.
Of course, it is still necessary to think about it in advance. After all, it is too cumbersome to go to the repair pod every time the dolls had an accident even with minor bionic skin rupture.
And the last mission in the black zone has proved that the bionic skin material used by the dolls is obviously not really ideal. It started to react not long after entering the black zone and when AR15 came back, there was no bionic skin on her body anymore.
That is, thankfully his other dolls were wearing protective clothing and power armor at that time. Otherwise, their bionic skin material at home would have been used up just that time.
While talking, M1 Garand also came back. Of course, in addition to herself, there are also the two large material cans on the cart. Although it looks like a lot, in fact, even with all of these used, it is estimated that there won't be anything left for later use if someone was unfortunate to damage their bionic skin.
After that, even if remaining little can is used sparingly, it is estimated that it will still be used up in just a month.
Watching the dolls coming in and out of Renault's workshop, RPK16, who also came to join in the fun, leaned to one side with her arms folded, looking at the dolls' bodies. "Looking at your current appearance, you probably have a long time to wait. How does it feel to become a Dinergate?"
"Hmph, there's no actual difference, except that there are no limbs." At the bottom of RPK16's feet, the white-painted Dinergate RPK16 muttered in an indignant tone.
Chapter 54: Forget it, just pretend it didn't happen...
"Who are you talking to?" AK12 didn't know when she had gotten behind RPK16 and poked her head out from behind her shoulder. She looked around but didn't see anyone talking to RPK16.
But she had just heard RPK16 talking. Could it be that she was talking to herself? If a doll talks to herself, there is a high possibility that her neural cloud is in trouble.
"Huh? No, I was just talking to myself." Hearing AK12's voice, RPK16 was startled but then recovered and said with a smile.
After all, even if she turned into a Dinergate, she was still herself, although it was another 'her.'
"Talking to yourself? Huh? A Dinergate?" Hearing RPK16's words, AK12 didn't intend to think too much.
After all, she didn't need to worry too much about the mental state of her companion, that was Angie's concern.
It's just that the white Dinergate under RPK16's feet... looks a bit eye-catching...
It's not that she hadn't seen Dinergates in Renault's spaceship. After all, Renault has many Sangvis Automaton units, and Dinergates are one of them. She had only been here for less than half a day, and she can often see groups of Dinergates swarming through the corridor.
It's not that she haven't seen lone Dinergates before, but those Dinergates are either looking for other Dinergates, being caught by dolls, or charging at the charging port.
But what is certain is that those Dinergates are still painted with Sangvis Ferri Manufacturing's style, and there is no change in appearance.
Well, even the identification signal has not changed. They are still using the identification signal of Sangvis Ferri Manufacturing.
If it weren't for being on Renault's spaceship at this time and place, AK12 would have wanted to take out her weapon immediately and kill these Sangvis Ferri little things directly.
After all, these Dinergates are actually Sangvis's reconnaissance units. Everything they see on the way will be turned into intelligence data and sent back to the Sangvis command center.
Now, the white Dinergate under RPK16's feet is very eye-catching among the Dinergates painted with Sangvis. If she hadn't seen the Dinergates patrolling around the artillery platform, she would have thought that it was painted white specifically for operation in the snow.
"What are you dawdling about?! You look like a fool who hasn't seen a Dinergate before!"
Although AK12's eyes are still closed, RPK16 knows that AK12's eyes are staring at her.
Perhaps because of the resentment caused by the loss of a physical body, RPK16's personality and tone of voice are obviously different from her original personality.
"Oh! It's talking!" AK12 was stunned when she heard the Dinergate sitting on the ground and pointing the camera at her talking, but then she realized that this voice... why does it sound exactly like RPK16?
Renault only installed RPK16's neural core into the Dinergate and installed a loudspeaker for the Dinergate. The voice she spoke was still the voiceprint data of RPK16's speech, so it could not be said to be very similar, but exactly the same.
"You..."
Boom!
Just when AK12 was about to ask what was going on, a somewhat dull roar suddenly sounded from outside the spacecraft, accompanied by a violent vibration!
The sudden vibration made M1 Garand, who was filling the repair pod with repair materials, tremble and almost break the filling port of the repair pod.
The dolls in the workshop all frowned at this time and turned their heads to look in the direction of the roar.
M1911, who was standing by the porthole, immediately came to the window and looked at the situation outside.
"No enemy was seen, but the bonfire that Vector hadn't put out completely was flattened!"
"What!? Wasn't Vector tasked on filling the Bonfire with Snow? Where's Vector?" Hearing what M1911 said, MG3 asked nervously.
"Uh, I'm here..." Vector, standing at the door of the workshop, raised her hand a little embarrassedly.
She had just piled a lot of snow on the bonfire, but it was not efficient to pile snow with just both hands, so she came back to get a shovel...
She didn't expect to almost died...
"Commander! It's artillery fire! Artillery fire from fifty kilometers to the northwest!" Before MG3 and others could say anything to Vector, the lucky guy, wz.29's voice had already sounded in the spacecraft broadcasting system.
"Uh..." Renault, who was taking a cigarette box from his pocket, was speechless when he heard what wz.29 said.
Why was he suddenly bombarded? Fifty kilometers to the northwest, that doesn't seem to be an area controlled by the Sangvis Ferri, right?
And even if it was an area controlled by the Sangvis Ferri, their new artillery platform was just a few kilometers away. Were they really not afraid of missing their target?
However, UMP45 seemed to have mentioned before that many military dolls were approaching the Sangvis Sangvis Ferri's artillery platform...?
Could it be...
Thinking so, Renault also leaned over to the porthole, first looked at the bonfire that had been blown apart, and then looked up at the sky.
Sure enough, a thick column of smoke was still hovering near the spaceship, and after the bombing just now, it gradually showed signs of dissipating.
"You accidentally set off a 'signal smoke' next to the spaceship?" Renault turned around and looked at Vector, who was a little at a loss, speechlessly.
This bombing was obviously not the work of Sangvis Ferri. The landing point of the shells and the location of the smoke column almost completely overlapped, and this kind of precision bombing was obviously much better than the Jupiter Cannon of the Sangvis Ferri.
In addition, there were the military dolls who suddenly appeared and advanced towards the Sangvis Ferri's artillery platform, and the large number of smoke bombs and smoke signals carried by those dolls. It is not difficult to guess which side is responsible for the sudden falling shells. The problem lies in the thick smoke created by Vector...
It is a bit too coincidental...
"Commander? Are we going to take off now?" wz.29 asked anxiously.
As long as they take off from the ground and reach a certain height, they don't have to worry about being bombarded from a distance.
"Well, since everyone is on the ship, let's take off directly."
Although he was a little unhappy of being suddenly bombarded without reason, he thought it was better to have less trouble than more, because the shell just now did not hit the hull directly.
"Understood." wz.29 responded and immediately started the spacecraft engine, preparing to let the spacecraft rise into the air first.
It's just that sometimes... bad luck... can cause a chain reaction...
Boom! Boom boom boom!
After the initial calibration, shells fell on the spacecraft one after another like rain!
The deafening roar, coupled with the continuous violent vibrations, left no doubt that several of these shells had landed on the top deck of the spacecraft!
"Tsk!"
Feeling the vibrations from the hull and the piercing sound of the shells exploding after hitting the armor plate of the spacecraft, Renault's face suddenly darkened.
Chapter 55: He probably just feels bad for the paint
"Turn on the shield first, and we'll talk about the rest after we fly." As he spoke, Renault turned around and walked towards the bridge, and the repaired dolls in the workshop quickly followed him.
"Okay, okay!" Upon hearing this, wz.29 immediately started to activate the shield of the spacecraft in a hurry. It was her first time using this protection system, so she was a little unfamiliar with it.
But it was just unfamiliarity. In just 20 seconds, the spacecraft, which had not yet taken off, was wrapped in a visible layer of shielding.
The subsequent shells that fell from the sky hit the shield directly and did not shake the spacecraft at all.
Feeling the vibration disappear under her feet, HK416 curled her lips, "What should we do now? Fly over and settle accounts with those guys?" As she spoke, HK416 moved her fingers, clearly unable to bear it any longer.
After replacing the energy engine, although she fought with M16, it was at best a one-sided beating. She just bullied M16 with the advantage of her body and abundant energy.
And it has been a long time since she had a decent battle. Before, she only defeated a few mercenaries and some stupid zombies in that small town.
It's not fun at all!
Hearing HK416's words, Renault was also a little surprised. It must be said that HK416's words hit the point. It's really rare that this guy actually agrees with him. After all he is the same.
He originally thought that the only battle maniac in his family was Executioner.
He didn't expect there would be one more now... But it should be because the excitement caused by the energy engine installed has not passed yet...
"It's almost the same." Renault said, walking into the bridge and directly pulling the power of the spacecraft's scanner to the maximum.
Hearing what Renault said, HK416's eyes lit up, and she squinted her eyes and carefully looked at the screen in front of Renault, which had a lot of information just fed back by the scanner.
"Oh, it seems that this time we are really going to face the military head-on." UMP45 also saw the data on the screen.
Although it is not a real-time picture, it is only the data from the scanner, it is enough to outline the terrain and scenery in the distance.
With the data and some reasonable analysis, it is not difficult to see what is firing at their heads now.
An armored train.
Past public data is unknown, and the military has never disclosed such machinery, except the common armored trains.
However, although it is an armored train, the one that came this time is obviously not an advanced model. The shells that fell on their heads are mostly old-fashioned shells. The equipment on this train is obviously not a cutting-edge weapon.
"It's not the first time anyways. There have been several times before, but they were just minor incidents."
When they first settled in the Red Zone, they were attacked, whether by guys who came by helicopter or by those who drove tanks and armored vehicles.
HK416 definitely doesn't believe that there isn't any military behind all of this.
With the strict restrictions on security contractors now, how can ordinary security contractors and mercenaries just come up with things like armed helicopters and tanks?
Griffin and Kryuger is possible. After all, G&k has funding from several forces behind it, and the military has been giving Griffin the green light. Otherwise, there is no reason for Griffin to be so big as it is now.
"Hmm? Have those military dolls rushed to the vicinity of the Sangvis Ferri's artillery platform? Oh, these guys seem to have used a lot of smoke bombs as smoke signals." UMP45 suddenly said in surprise.
The military dolls that they saw when she was on duty before have now come to a place ten kilometers away from the Sangvis Ferri's artillery platform.
It was clear that Sangvis Ferri wasn't idle. They sent a lot of dolls to stop the military dolls.
Just as they were talking, a military cyclops had been submerged by Sangvis Ferri's dolls with their numerical advantage.
However, the large number of smoke bombs carried by the cyclops exploded after they fell.
The thick smoke gathered together can be clearly seen even at night. Even if you really can't see it, just use thermal imaging equipment to see it.
The billowing smoke... looks exactly like the way Vector put out the bonfire just now...
"Yeah, it's exactly the same." G11 also nodded, turned around, and looked at Vector carefully.
When Vector heard this, she immediately lowered her head in shame, wishing she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
Seeing Vector's look, UMP45 and UMP40 looked at each other, then shrugged their shoulders. Obviously, Renault didn't take it to heart.
As for whether Renault is furious now? Well, that shouldn't be the case. He is definitely angry, but UMP45 estimates that Renault is just angry because the shells that hit the top deck may have damaged the surface paint of the spacecraft.
After all, although the shells did cause the spacecraft to vibrate a few times, it is obvious that those shells did not damage their spacecraft. Didn't they see the self-inspection report of the spacecraft in front of wz.29?
All are normal, without even a slight damage.
"The scale of the team pulled out by the military this time is really large, but are they really here for the artillery platform of the Sangvis Ferri?"
In addition to the armored train, there are many military units staying in the position several kilometers ahead of the train gun. It seems that they are gathering and will immediately set off to the Sangvis Ferri base to clean up the mess after the train gun destroys the artillery platform of the Sangvis Ferri.
A large part of them are all Hydras, well, they are called Manticores in Sangvis Ferri, but these Hydras of the military are much smaller than those Sangvis Ferri of Sangvis Sangvis Ferri, and they are equipped with many things that Sangvis Ferri have never been equipped with.
"It must be, otherwise they can't be here for us, right? Those guys don't even know we are here." UMP40 spread his hands helplessly.
This is probably what some book calls "unforeseen disaster."
Their family was just taking a holiday and fishing, but the shells fell from the sky and hit Renault's spaceship directly.
Although this was due to Vector's "smoke signal," it was still because of bad luck...
Otherwise, why didn't these military guys wait for them to leave before attacking?
"How is it, Renault? Do you need us to run a trip?" As soon as UMP40 finished speaking, UMP45 asked Renault.
She had already seen the situation near the armored train. There was a military command vehicle next to it. The commanders of these military dolls and automatons were obviously nearby.
As for these military dolls and automatons, as long as they took down the command vehicle, the military automatons would be stopped
Well, the process was similar to that of stopping Sangvis Ferri as well though.
Chapter 56 Can't Lose Money
"Doesn't their armored train have a command system? Why did they bring a separate command vehicle?" UMP9 pointed at the data models representing the command vehicle on the screen and asked UMP45 in a somewhat puzzled manner.
Under normal circumstances, how could such a huge thing as an armored train not have a command center? The number of military doll units distributed around the armored train is not large, and it does not exceed the upper limit of the number that a combat command center can handle.
But these guys in the military even got a separate command vehicle and put it there, as if they were afraid that their enemies would not know that it was their weak point.
"Maybe they don't want to change the command authority in their old equipment. Maybe. Anyway, no one knows what those guys are thinking."
"That's right. It's been a long time since the Third War, and they are still using smoke signals..."
"Don't forget the interference of Sangvis Ferri. Architect have turned the jammer to the maximum."
"That's right, but the interference was not this strong when we first came."
While UMP45 and the others were talking. The spaceship had already risen to a high altitude. From this position, with the help of the equipment on the spaceship, they could vaguely see the armored train in the distance that was constantly spewing shells.
HK416 raised her eyebrows when she saw this. At this angle and this distance... Isn't it a good opportunity to bombard the armored train?
There are two Jupiter cannons on the spaceship. Although they have not been used many times since they were taken back from Sangvis Ferri, isn't this a good opportunity?
"Are we going to fight now?" HK416 said, but she had already sat in the gunner's position
Seeing HK416's impatient look, Renault scratched his chin.
Using the Jupiter cannon to directly bombard the armored train is indeed a solution, but the Jupiter cannon is not originally designed to deal with armored targets.
Although it is effective, it is unknown how effective it is.
Although the armored train of the military is not an advanced model, it is still a serious armored unit in the hands of the military. He doesn't know how strong the armor protection capability of the surface of the train is.
What if he directly fired two shots now and it just scared those guys away?
Just firing two shots to scare the military is not his purpose.
He got his paint dirtied by some guys wanting to shoot stuff, he didn't get any benefits in this actions, and finally having to pay for two Jupiter cannon shells, this is definitely not a good deal.
"Wait a minute, see the movements of other armored units of the military." Renault waved his hand.
This time, he really took the blow of the Military for Sangvis Ferri.
The bombing of the armored train has not stopped yet. The originally flat open space has now been covered with a large crater, and the wooden house built by Renault has also become a ruin under the bombardment.
He just doesn't know if CF05 and the others have packed up the things in the wooden house. If they are all blown up, it would be a bit sad, even though they are just pots and pans.
But the military should be able to notice something wrong soon, after all, the smoke produced by the campfire is somewhat different from the smoke produced by the signal flare.
What’s more, with such a large ship flying towards them, he doesn’t believe that all the guys in the military are blind.
…
“What? Something's not right? Gager, didn’t you say that the bombardment is coming soon? Why it isn't it coming?"
Architect, who had already prepared herself for the bombardment, was stunned when she heard the roar in the distance and asked Gager beside her in a strange way.
Gager was quite surprised at this time. To be honest, although they annihilated that small group of Cyclops, those dolls threw smoke bombs at the last moment.
A large number of them exploded instantly in the sky, and there were also those thrown on the ground that slowly smoked. As long as the military people were not stupid, the military's artillery would fall on their heads in a few seconds.
But the reality was... the artillery bombardment had indeed begun, and the falling shells also exploded, but the location of the bombardment... seemed to be several kilometers away from their base.
Thinking of this, Gager looked in the direction of the roar with a strange expression...
That's right, the landing point of the shells should be the location of the Renault spacecraft. Although she doesn't know why, now is not the time to be dumbfounded.
"Don't stand there stupidly! Hurry up and calculate the military's position and fight back!" Gager finally understood why the mainframe sent the three of Scarecrow and brought so many armored units.
They must have known about the military's movements in advance, and sending Scarecrow and the others here was nothing more than a precaution just in case things went sour.
And now it has been proved that the Mastermind's worries and the intelligence they obtained were not groundless.
These guys in the military are really going to take action this time!
The military has already found the location of their base, and the Jupiter cannon cannot be moved. Once it is covered by the enemy's artillery fire, the artillery platform will almost be destroyed.
But for some reason, the military's first attack target went wrong, so they have to find the enemy's position before the military's rapid firing ends!
Then use their most violent artillery fire to send all the enemies directly into the sky!
"Oh! What a trouble! If the locking system could still be used!" Hearing the words of Gager, Architect complained while controlling the Jupiter cannons.
After all, in that case, she doesn't need to calculate the attack location herself, she just needs to press the button to fire.
Unfortunately, it was impossible now. The locking system of the Jupiter Cannon was interfered with. She could only honestly calculate the approximate location of the military firepower position based on the location of the fire.
Fortunately, as an elite doll among Sangvis Ferri, Architect had a very fast calculation speed.
Before the roar from Renault's side stopped, the Jupiter Cannons on the Sangvis Ferri's position pointed their muzzles at the location of the military armored train!
"Hehe! Although it's a little late! But it's time to say hello to those guys in the military!"
Architect grinned and pressed the fire button without hesitation.
The Jupiter Cannon cluster array, which had been adjusted in position, directly burst into dazzling light at this moment!
One after another, the electromagnetically accelerated shells directly covered the night sky of this area!
The shells that left a trail of light in the sky came to the sky above the military armored train in an instant, and smashed down hard on the armored train and the ground around the train!
Boom!
The deafening explosion sounded instantly!
Even Renault and others who were high in the sky heard the huge roar like thunder!
Chapter 57 It's Impossible No Matter How You Think About It, Right?
At least twenty Jupiter cannons fired at the same time, and there was no doubt that they directly hit the military's armored train!
Boom!
The dazzling flames suddenly shone in the dark night, illuminating the sky within a dozen kilometers.
"Oh wow! This scene is really big. It seems that the Sangvis Ferri still has the strength to fight." UMP45 raised her eyebrows and said.
With so many Jupiter cannons attacking at the same time, coupled with such a loud explosion, the military's armored train, no matter how thick the armor plate is, should have been destroyed, right?
This kind of powerful attack is enough to overturn the armored train.
HK416 also shrugged helplessly. It seems that they have nothing to do this time. Since the military's armored train has been destroyed, the Sangvis Ferri's Jupiter cannons will naturally be released. Those military units moving towards the Sangvis Ferri artillery platform will soon be ruthlessly attacked by the Sangvis Ferri.
"Commander, the signal of the armored train is still there..." Wz.29 didn't pay attention to the dazzling light outside the porthole and the billowing smoke that followed, and kept staring at the signal feedback on the screen in front of him.
"Huh? How is it possible?" UMP9 immediately approached Wz.29 in disbelief and looked at the signal target on the screen.
The signal of the armored train that had been marked still exists, and even the signal strength is the same as before.
"Is that... a Force shield? This size and protective ability... is it a bit too exaggerated?" UMP40 narrowed her eyes and stared at the armored train that remained in place after the smoke dissipated.
"It's not that their protective ability is too good, it's just that it is more advantageous against the Jupiter cannon of the Sangvis Ferri." Renault scratched his chin and roughly understood what was going on with the armored train.
Although it looked intimidating enough from a distance and the number of artillery equipped on the train was not small, it was obvious that the length and layout of the train were different from normal armored trains.
In addition to the power engines at the front and rear of the train, and the various warheads distributed on the train, this armored train is also interspersed with a number of slightly strange-looking carriages.
Now it seems that this armored train is probably just a test product of the military, used to test the protective ability of large-scale Force Shields in combat.
Perhaps so, Renault cannot make a conclusion on the specific situation.
However, this time the Sangvis Ferri's bombardment did provide the military with a lot of combat data. At least, it proved that the power of the Sangvis Ferri's Jupiter cannon was not as great as the military imagined.
"Well, doesn't that mean..." HK416 frowned when he saw this.
The numerous Jupiter cannons on the Sangvis Ferri side failed to completely destroy this armored train. Doesn't that mean that the two Jupiter cannons on their ship are useless?
If they can't even penetrate other people's Force shields, what's the point of their existence?
"Doesn't that mean Architect and her subordinates are going to be finished?" UMP9 was quick-witted and blurted out directly, but what she said was slightly different from what HK416 wanted to express...
"That's not necessarily true. It depends on whether Architect can react. If the armored train can't be destroyed, it can be used to attack the military's dolls and armored units. That was quite useful just now. At least the military signals near the train have been reduced by four or five hundred."
Renault narrowed his eyes and said while thinking about what useful things he could get from the military nearby.
Forget about the artillery on the armored train.
The lethality is poor. It is not much better than the two Jupiter cannons on the ship. It is just used to bully Architect for not installing Force Shields on the Jupiter cannons.
The combat units brought by the military this time, except for the Cyclops, are mostly Hydra and Aegis for close combat. Most of the Aegis and Cyclops that were destroyed together under the bombardment of the Jupiter cannon just now are probably Aegis and Cyclops.
There was no Hydra among them. These all-terrain combat units, which were smaller than the Manticores, were now rapidly advancing towards the Sangvis Ferri artillery platforms under the command of the military, so they were not affected by the bombardment just now.
Moreover, their speed was not slow. It seemed that they would collide with the Sangvis Ferri armored units in a short time.
Which of the military's armored units and the Sangvis Ferri armored units was better? Let's put aside the question for now. Although most of the automatons nearby were destroyed in the bombardment, there were still at least 500 in the area protected by the armored train.
And it was not known whether the military would have more support later. If they rushed down rashly, he might not be able to gain an advantage.
"Get closer and scan carefully to see if the military has any good stuff."
If there were only armored trains and those automatons, then what he could get in the end would be nothing more than some scrap parts, and most of the metal materials would need to be taken back for secondary processing.
Although there are many, it is too cumbersome. If you have that time, you might as well think about how to sell the extra goods in the spaceship warehouse for money.
...
"Military bombardment?"
Just as Renault and others were watching the battle between Sangvis Ferri and the military on the bridge, AK12, who stayed in the workshop and did not move, also looked at RPK16 and nodded in understanding.
This makes sense. Sangvis Ferri suddenly had a large number of armored units for reinforcement and increase the intensity of interference here.
It's most likely that they have noticed the military's movements in advance...
It's really incredible that Sangvis Ferri Manufacturing, which has no human commanders, not only invaded the military's server, but can now even detect the military's actions one step ahead.
"What should we do now?" AN94 looked at AK12, but her eyes looked at the dolls in the workshop who did not take the bombardment seriously and continued to enter the repair pod one by one for repairs.
AN94 and AK15 came over together after hearing the explosion. Fortunately, AK12 had told them where they were going before they came. Otherwise, they might not be able to find AK12. After all, the space of this spaceship is not big, but it is definitely not small.
"Don't worry. There is nothing we can do now. We can only watch." AK12 said with her hands spread out.
It's not that she doesn't want to do something, but look at the porthole next to her. The spaceship has already reached a few hundred meters in the air. Unless she asks Renault for a few parachutes, if they jump from this height, even if their bodies are all military models, they will definitely turn into a pile of scraps.
"If you want to go down, just wait for them to set off on the gunship and follow them." Just after AK12 said this, the Dinergate RPK16 under their feet spoke.
"Set off?" AK12, who already knew the identity of the Dinergate RPK16, turned her head and looked at the dolls in the workshop with some disbelief.
Even if she thought that Renault is brave, he won't rush down at this time to fight against the military together with Sangvis Ferri, right?
Chapter 58 No More Fun!
"Status Lost."
"Two hundred and thirty Aegis, seventy-eight Cyclops, no loss to the units inside the Force Shield."
"What about the Force Shield?"
"Energy consumption is 17%, and it can withstand four more attacks of the same firepower at most."
"What about the backup energy and equipment damage?"
"The backup energy is not included, and the Force Shield generator is intact."
"Very good, it seems that the vibration just now did not have any effect on the Force Shield generator. Continue to test..."
Not far from the armored train, in the military command vehicle, two military researchers were confirming the damage. Before they could finish, the door of the command vehicle was pushed open.
"Wrong! Wrong! Switch the artillery coordinates quickly! The place just hit is not the artillery platform of the Sangvis Ferri!" A soldier wearing a full set of heavy protective clothing shouted loudly.
Although they were indeed quite resentful about being used as test subjects by their own people, now was obviously not the time to vent their resentment. If the bombardment coordinates were wrong, and they failed to destroy the Jupiter cannons of the Sangvis Ferri within the limited time, they might be blown up into the sky at any moment like the Aigis and the Cyclops!
"What? How could it be wrong? Didn't you just measure the bombardment coordinates yourself!?"
"Who knows why a cloud of smoke came out of that damn place! And there was a spaceship that suddenly took off over there! The bombardment just now seemed to have landed on that spaceship!"
"Spaceship!? What nonsense are you talking about! How could there be a spaceship!" The officer in the command vehicle raised his eyebrows and looked back at the combat command system. There was no large target reaction at the location where they had just bombarded.
Although the interference of Sangvis Ferri is very strong now, and the command system can't detect any Sangvis Ferri units except its own combat units.
If there was a spaceship...
Even if there was a spaceship, the detection system would definitely react even if it couldn't determine the origin of the other party!
But now there is nothing on their radar!
"What nonsense! Do you understand what you said? Let's not talk about the spaceship! If you want to be blown up by the Jupiter cannon of the Sangvis Ferri, just stay here! My people will not accompany you any more!"
"Bah! Then tell me the coordinates!" Hearing this, the officer in the command vehicle did not hesitate and immediately returned to the control console, manually stopped the bombardment, and prepared to re-enter the bombardment coordinates.
"Fucking idiot! Do I need to tell you all this! Sangvis Ferri has already shot the Jupiter Cannon! The automatic system has already displayed it! Are you idiots, hurry up! Do you have no fingers or what?"
The soldier in protective clothing pounded on the door of the command vehicle in a rage, wishing to pull the slow-reacting guy down and do it himself.
Although this railway gun was modified from the old equipment left over from the Third World War, it still has this basic automatic calculation function.
Only these guy who sits in the office all day would not know about this kind of thing!
"Okay! Okay!?" The officer knocked hard on the control console, pressed the start button, and waited for the train gun's response.
As the new bombardment coordinates were confirmed, the guns on the armored train that were stopped began to rotate their muzzles.
Unfortunately, because the location of the Renault spacecraft was too close to the Sangvis Ferri artillery platform, the slight angle adjustment was almost impossible to detect without a close look.
If they hadn't heard the sound of the automatic mechanism running in the armored train, they would have thought that the calibration system of those guns had failed.
...
"The bombardment is ineffective." Just when Architect was about to turn her head to ask the Gager whether the bombardment was effective, Scarecrow's communication suddenly connected to the control center and reported to the two in an extremely calm tone.
"Huh!? How could it be ineffective! Dreamer and the others used this thing to blow off the roof of Griffin!" Hearing this, Architect's first reaction was disbelief.
The power of the Jupiter Cannon was actually verified and tested in Griffin, so the mastermind asked her and Gager to come here to set up the Jupiter Cannon's artillery platform. Now they told her that a salvo of 20 Jupiter Cannons can't do anything to a small armored train?
That's not how you joke!?
Do you think it's the perfect time to have fun now!?
"The armored train is equipped with a Force Shield Generator." Seeing Architect's unbelievable expression, Scarecrow sighed helplessly.
She could see clearly through the Scout in the sky that the armored train was unscathed.
"Force shield? How is it possible!? How can those gadgets equipped on the Dragoons block..."
"It's a large Force shield. The armored train carries multiple large Force shield generation devices. Also, the train gun has recalibrated the coordinates. You guys should..."
Boom!
Before Scarecrow finished speaking, the shells had already landed on the main building of the base of the artillery platform!
"Oh! You should have reminded us of this earlier!" Architect, who was knocked to the ground by the violent vibration, shouted angrily.
Before she could finish her words, the artillery shells arrived.
Why didn't you remind us to be on guard as soon as you opened your mouth!
"Yes... interference... the military..." Scarecrow tried to respond, but unfortunately the bombing just now seemed to have damaged the communication equipment in the building, and Scarecrow was disconnected after just two words.
At this time, the red emergency light near the control console also lit up, and the control center had switched to the backup power supply.
"I will lead the team to destroy the train, you stay." Looking at the emergency light that suddenly lit up, Gager said a word and ran out of the control center directly.
"Hey! Hey! Wait!" Architect had no time to stop her. Looking at the empty main control room except for a few crooked Rippers, she scratched her head in confusion.
The communication was cut off, and Scarecrow couldn't be contacted. Now the main power supply of the main control room was also damaged. Although all the Jupiter cannons had independent power supplies, if there was no energy in the main control room, it would naturally be impossible to control those Jupiter cannons.
Originally, they should have been able to control them remotely, but now their own interference plus the interference of the military made the remote control directly become a decoration.
Once the backup power supply was exhausted or damaged, she would have to run to the Jupiter cannons in person to manually control those big guys.
But the military...
Boom!
The military is not stupid! How could they stop their attack? In addition, the armored train had a field shield protection...
Forget it!
Scarecrow! Gager! I can only wish you two with good fortune! This artillery platform can't be preserved at all!
This is all I can do for you now!
Architect stabilized her body, turned around, and lay down in front of the control console, beginning to readjust the attack coordinates of those Jupiter cannons.
Chapter 59 Together Together
Just as Renault and the others were standing on the bridge watching the situation below, the hatch of the bridge suddenly opened, and SOP2 and AR15 walked in directly, while M4 and others stood outside the bridge waiting.
"Commander! We want to help M4 and the others! It won't take long! We'll be back soon!" As soon as SOP2 ran in, she grabbed Renault's arm and shouted while shaking it.
Seeing SOP2's hasty actions, AR15 didn't have time to stop her. After all, Renault was their current boss.
Couldn’t SOP2 pay a little more attention to decorum and not act like a child?
However, Renault didn't care about such trivial matters. Hearing what SOP2 said, he nodded immediately, "Okay, has it been repaired?"
Renault was referring to the repair of SOP2's bionic skin. Just now, SOP2 had replaced the new energy engine like the other dolls. When he left the workshop, SOP2 was still queuing behind MP40.
"It's all done! No gaps at all!" SOP2 raised her hands and patted them, looking strong and healthy.
"That's good. Go ask Simonov and SPAS-12 to see who will go with you."
"Okay!" SOP2 waved and cheered, immediately beginning to contact Simonov and SPAS-12 on the communication network.
When AR15 heard what Renault said, her nervous expression relaxed. Renault agreed to SOP2's request so easily.
Should she say it was a bit unexpected? Or was it not surprising...
However, regarding the gunship driver... there seems to be a small mistake...
"Commander! Noooo! Simonov drank a bucket of alcohol as soon as she repaired her bionic skin!"
"Then SPAS-12..."
"No! SPAS-12 is entangled by Simonov and won't let her go!"
SOP2 was a little anxious when she said this. She looked at wz.29 on the bridge.
It was obvious that wz.29 couldn't go out. Who would drive the spacecraft if she left?
She can't let Renault go in person, right?
"Entangled by Simonov? What did that guy do? Isn't she going to drive the gunship without washing her hands?" UMP45 turned around and asked in surprise.
Although she knew that Simonov cherished her leather seat very much and was afraid that SPAS-12 would rub it with her greasy hands that had just grabbed fried food, SPAS-12 wouldn’t even have time to wash her hands, right?
"She went into the repair pod with a crepe in her pocket and was left by M1 Garand to be cleaned up. She wanted to run away when she heard that a driver was needed, but was caught by Simonov." SOP2 scratched her head and said helplessly.
When Renault heard that SPAS-12 went into the repair pod with a crepe in her pocket, he rolled his eyes with a headache.
This guy... why didn't he notice this when he replaced her energy core just now?
Fortunately, it was just a crepe. Even if there were only some oil stains and food residues, it shouldn't cause too much damage to the repair pod.
"Forget it, UMP45, you go with them."
UMP45 can also drive a gunship. Although her skills are not as sophisticated as Simonov and SPAS-12, it is enough for transporting personnel.
Now that the interference in this area is so serious, there is no need to worry about being attacked by anti-aircraft missiles. The military does not carry anti-aircraft guns, so there is no need to worry too much about the safety of the gunship.
"Understood, UMP40, come on, go with me." UMP45 said this, and directly raised her hand to grab UMP40 who wanted to retreat.
"Sister 45, you are biased! I want to go too!" UMP9 also came up immediately, but still looked at Renault with expectant eyes, trying to get Renault's consent.
Renault naturally had no reason to stop them.
It was just going out for a walk, of course there would be no problem, "Go, go."
Seeing that UMP45 and the others were all going together, HK416 was also a little impatient, and immediately jumped up from the gunner's position and came to AR15, "What mission? Assassination? Destruction? Or rescue?"
Now the military and the Sangvis Ferri are fighting each other desperately, and it is estimated that they will not be able to take action for a while. Instead of sitting here and watching the changes, it is better to find something to do.
"Search and rescue a Griffin doll." AR15 did not hide it immediately.
After all, she already knew it, so what could she not say? It was not a mission that needed to be kept secret.
"Well, okay, I'll go back to get the equipment and take the hamster, G11, with me." After saying that, HK416 also turned around and ran out of the bridge.
"Commander! We're going!" Seeing UMP45 and others running out of the bridge, SOP2 immediately waved to Renault excitedly.
"Well, be careful."
"Understood! Don't worry, Commander!" SOP2 responded while running out of the bridge and shouting to M4 and others who were waiting at the door, "M4! Sister 16! The commander has agreed!"
"Uh, I always feel that he agreed too easy, right?" Hearing SOP2's words, RO635 still felt it was little unbelievable.
After all, there was a battlefield outside the spaceship filled with gunfire. At this time, he could still let his own dolls run out and get involved in the mission that did not belong to them...
Isn't this a bit too careless?
"Because for Commander Renault, this is not a big deal at all."
M16 noticed the expression on RO635's face, raised her hand and patted her shoulder, and followed M4 who was pulled away by SOP2.
"Commander Renault... Well, except for being a little calculative about the mission rewards, he is usually very generous." AR15 also recalled Renault's usual appearance and added.
Besides, rather than being very generous, it would be better to say that he was too generous to the T-dolls at home. Anyway, AR15 didn't see Renault spend any money on himself. The things he bought were either logistical materials or various supplies.
Could it be that he spent all his money on the T-dolls, so he didn't have a penny in his pocket?
Just when the AR team members came to the hangar and waited for UMP45 to go back to get the equipment, the fully armed AK12 and others had already been waiting there.
"Hey, everyone in the AR team, do you mind if we take a ride?" AK12 waved to M4.
"Uh? AK12? Didn't you need to tell Commander Renault?" M4 was a little surprised. Although she already knew that AK12 and the others were not dolls under Renault, but dolls who were "affiliated" with Griffin like them, if they acted suddenly...
"Oh, I've already said hello, like this." AK12 said with a smile, and then waved to a corner of the hangar platform, where the monitoring equipment in the hangar was.
"Uh..."
You are went on like this, what else could they do about it? Anyway, it seemed that you're not afraid of being troubled by Renault.
While talking, UMP45 and the others also rushed over with their own equipment.
"Huh, there are a lot of people. Fortunately, the gunship has a large space." UMP45 said with a smile, and then immediately started the gunship and opened the cabin door to let M4 and AK12 board.
Chapter 60: Stupid Ways
"Commander, is the doll that AR15 and the others are going to rescue the Griffin signal near the military position?" Shortly after UMP45 and the others left the bridge, wz.29 looked at the screen beside Renault and asked hesitantly.
"It should be. That place is likely a safe house for Griffin. That doll must be quite fast; otherwise, she would have been torn to pieces by the military's armored units." Renault nodded.
Wz.29 frowned and scratched her cheeks upon hearing this. She always felt that the current situation was a bit surreal.
Griffin wasn't fighting Sangvis, but now they had to rescue a Griffin reconnaissance doll from a military siege.
But if you think about it carefully, it isn't that strange. After all, Griffin is just a security contractor. The military's actions won't change because of one or two dolls.
Additionally, with Sangvis Ferri now fighting the military, the military is even less likely to care about what's happening with Griffin's dolls...
The military's armored trains have been pouring artillery fire on Sangvis Ferri's artillery platform.
Still, Sangvis Ferri's reaction is a bit... Are those places where the Jupiter cannons are bombarding really not their own?
After the first concentrated fire on the military's armored trains failed, Sangvis Ferri's Jupiter cannons either malfunctioned or something, and the attack platforms were directly split in half, with shells hitting the middle of both sides' platforms and all shots were firing scattered everywhere.
...
Boom!
The violent explosion in front of her halted Executioner's forward steps, and smoke, dust, broken branches, and other debris covered her face like a flood.
"Damn it! That bastard Architect! What on earth is she thinking!? Did she want to blow us up!? Pah!" Executioner shouted angrily, spitting out the mud in her mouth.
"Who told you to rush so fast?" Hunter said, rushing up and stopping with a group of Manticore behind her.
The Jupiter cannon's artillery suddenly changed its attack position, which was related to the current artillery situation...
Hunter frowned and looked back at the artillery platform's direction.
Before the military arrived, she had already explored the terrain around the artillery platform.
The situation was unsatisfactory.
If it was only used to deal with security contractors like Griffin, who had no heavy firepower, it would definitely be more than enough.
Whether it was from the defense of the position or the artillery platform's location.
However, if the enemy was replaced by the military with heavy firepower or even better, then the artillery platform would undoubtedly be a live target. After all, the Jupiter cannon could not move. Facing an equally powerful artillery, an attack that could penetrate the Jupiter cannon's shell was enough to destroy the position.
And the current situation seems to be just like this.
During the first attack of the Jupiter Cannon, Hunter also noticed that the Jupiter Cannon exploded with exactly twenty roars, and the artillery that just exploded in front of Executioner was two fewer than at the beginning.
Two Jupiter Cannons have been destroyed.
In addition, the damage to the artillery platform is unknown, and the damage to the military is also unknown.
"Scarecrow, what's the situation with the military now?" Raising her hand to stop Executioner who wanted to rush out, Hunter tried to establish contact with Scarecrow.
Although the interference is very strong, as long as the distance is not too far, the communication between the three of them should not be completely disconnected.
"Except for some insignificant Aegis, the armored train has no damage. Architect probably wants to use the Jupiter cannon to attack the military combat units moving towards the artillery platform."
Scarecrow, who was a few hundred meters behind Hunters, looked up at the scout in the sky and said in a deep voice, "Also, communication with the artillery platform has been cut off. The communication station in the base should have been destroyed."
What bad news.
Well, it should be said that there is no worse news than this.
Hearing this, Hunter couldn't help but sigh helplessly and look back at the more than twenty Manticores behind her.
More than twenty Manticores are not a small number. Although the number is not of the same order of magnitude as the large number of Dinergates she commanded at the beginning, the combat effectiveness of the Manticore is not at the same level as the Dinergates.
If the opponent were the Griffin echelons she has encountered in the past, twenty Manticore with proper cooperation would definitely be enough to knock down four or five echelons of tactical dolls.
Unfortunately, the enemy was not Griffin, but the military.
Scarecrow had seen hundreds of Hydras and nearly a thousand Cyclops through the Scout unit.
Although no human officers were seen commanding the combat units, there was a command vehicle on the side of the armored train, which was more than enough to command these combat units to cooperate with the armored train's artillery fire and attack the Sangvis Ferri's artillery platforms.
In this situation, even Executioner could not help but fall silent, frowning and looking at the dense forest ahead.
Boom!
As the roar sounded, another series of shells fell in front of the two of them.
Was Architect trying to use the Jupiter cannon to plow a path in their advance direction?
It must be said that this method was stupid...
However, stupid methods were still very effective in dealing with those military combat units that were stubborn and heading straight toward the Sangvis Ferri base.
After three bombings, the Jupiter cannon's shells finally fell on the military's Hydras.
The Hydras on the opposite side also happened to discover the figures of Hunter and the Manticores. The grenade launchers equipped on the top of their bodies were about to fire at the two people but were shot into the sky by the Jupiter cannon's fire!
The Cyclops mixed in the Hydra formation were directly torn to pieces by the artillery. The armor plates on their bodies could not provide any protection under such a large-scale artillery.
Unfortunately, although the power of the Jupiter cannon is great, as time goes by, nearly ten Jupiter cannons have been silenced. After this artillery, although many Hydras and Cyclops were shot down, there are still more behind them...
"Okay, the break time is over." Seeing this, Hunter grabbed her weapon, commanded the Manticore to disperse and move forward, and rushed to the side of the Cyclops.
"Tsk! Scarecrow, tell me what you have planned. I don't want to go back and lie in the same repair pos with you this time."
After saying that, Executioner led the armored units behind her and headed straight for the Hydras!
Scarecrow, who was not far behind the two of them at this time, just tilted her head when she heard it, "Humph, the premise is that you can guarantee that you still have fragments that can be moved back to the repair pod."
Chapter 61: Waiting
"Commander, everyone has been repaired. Should we prepare to set off now?" M1 Garland walked into the bridge and handed a list of material inventory to Renault.
"No hurry, let them do their own thing. We still have to wait for a while."
"Uh, okay." Hearing this, M1 Garland subconsciously looked at the screen above the console. The symbols representing the military and Sangvis were entangled with each other, clearly indicating a stalemate.
After a few glances, M1 Garland understood why Renault had not called them to prepare for battle. The current situation showed the armored units of Sangvis and the military are mixed together, constantly fighting non-stop.
The armored trains and Artillery Platforms were still bombarding each other.
Both sides were like stubborn opponents consuming their own resources, and the military's armored trains didn't seem to have an advantage.
Rushing down now, even if they wiped out the other side, they could only pick up some weapons and ammunition that they would never use ordinarily.
There was no advantage to be gained. If there were, Renault would have rushed down to kill the military commanders based on his usual style.
Besides, the military was only using ordinary automatons. It was unknown whether there were people inside the armored train. If there were any living soldiers, they would probably only be the ones guarding the command vehicle.
Even if they rushed down and knocked out all the droids and soldiers, what would happen?
They'd gain a command vehicle which was very useless for him, an outdated armored train that might even be just a test product and too cumbersome to carry, and some armored units that were insignificant to the military.
It was like rushing into someone else's pool and scooping a bucket of water and throw it to the pool owner to vent anger.
It wasn't a big deal, and going down was even a little ridiculous to think about now...
"Isn't that our gunship?"
As she thought about it, M1 Garand caught a glimpse of the gunship quietly approaching the military-controlled area in the distance. Although she knew UMP45 and the others had taken the gunship, she didn't expect their destination to be so close to the military.
"Yes, they went to retrieve a Griffin doll. We might have to help deliver it to Griffin's transport plane later."
Although the military is fighting with Sangvis, no one can predict the possibility of stray bullets not hitting them.
Griffin has already lost a transport plane in this area, and it's uncertain whether any subsequent transport planes will dare to come.
With nothing to do, M1 Garand sat down on the bridge, staring at the screen with wz.29, watching the battle below.
The two sides are fighting fiercely now, but at this rate, it won't take long to decide the winner.
When both sides are defeated, the commander should take action, right?
Thinking about it this way, Architect seemed pitiful. The Artillery platform she built with great effort was destroyed by the military.
"Commander, if we wait until they finish fighting, won't the military try to find us?"
After all, they have been to big cities before, and most of the military and other forces already know about their ship.
"Then don't let them find us."
Hearing Renault's words, wz.29 was stunned, then looked at M1 Garand helplessly.
Don't let the military find them... This seems unlikely, right?
Their spaceship is so big that it must have been recorded by various military equipment. Even if the interference is strong now, as soon as the military comes to clean up the battlefield afterward, they will be discovered.
It's just a matter of time.
Of course, Renault didn't care too much. After all, this has happened more than once or twice. After killing those attackers before, there was no significant reaction. This time won't be much different.
As long as they didn't find out immediately, it was enough.
Wait until later? Then who knows how long they would have to wait...
After Renault finished speaking, he sat in front of the main console, his hands flying back and forth on the controls.
Wz.29 and M1 Garand didn't see what Renault was doing.
...
UMP45 drove the gunship slowly along the treetops in the forest. "With the interference so strong, how did this doll send out the distress signal?"
With this level of interference, even a large communicator would find it difficult to send the signal out, right?
"Griffin's safe house has a fixed line, but the line was cut off just after she sent out the distress signal. It was probably affected by the attack of Sangvis or the military." M4 scratched her cheek and said.
The lines used in the safe house are both new and old. The safe house where the doll is located should use the older lines. After the military and Sangvis started fighting, those aging lines likely had problems.
"Okay, that makes sense." Leaning on the seat, UMP45 controlled the gunship with one hand and gradually approached the building hidden in the woods ahead.
The building looked very old, its style suggesting it was a product from before the Third World War. It might be an antique building hundreds of years old.
With such facilities, it's no wonder the lines are aging...
The gunship landed carefully in the open space in front of the building, but because the area was not large, the gunship inevitably crushed a small fountain in the open space.
"This should be fine. At such a close distance, try to see if you can get in touch. If not, use the communicator on the gunship," UMP45 said, pointing to the communicator in front of UMP40.
"Okay." M4 nodded, calmed down, and began trying to contact the Griffin doll who sent the distress signal.
AK12 and the other four, who were sitting in the cabin, suddenly stood up. "Well, we have other tasks, so we'll leave first."
"Okay, take care." UMP45 waved to AK12 with a smile, watching the four people jump out of the cabin.
"Mission? When did they receive the mission? They don't seem to be able to contact their commander, right?" HK416 looked at AK12 and the others disappearing into the forest with some surprise.
"They borrowed a cell phone from someone else and made a call in the workshop earlier, so it must have been then," M16 said, leaning back in her chair and looking in the direction AK12 left.
"Okay, but now it seems there will be no enemies here, and this will turn into another sightseeing tour." HK416 shrugged her shoulders, looking at G11 who was sitting next to her, staring at her cell phone screen, and sighed.
"You asked for this yourself. Don't complain if there's no battle," UMP45 said as she took out her phone.
MDR couldn't stay idle and wanted her to help shoot the battle video. She wasn't interested in holding up her phone to film everything at this time, but there was nothing to do now.
"I'm just talking." HK416 was speaking, but M4 looked up, with an expression on her face that was a little... awkward?
"What's wrong? M4? Could it be that the doll has escaped?"
Chapter 62: Wrong Place?
Boom!
A sharp explosion sounded right beside Architect! She, having not yet left the main control room, was knocked to the ground by the sudden blast!
Various fragments that followed hit Architect like knives.
The original three-story main control center had been reduced to just one floor by the military's artillery fire, with the roof completely gone. If it weren't for the deliberate reinforcement around the main control desk, it probably wouldn't have held up until now.
But even so, the current main control center could be considered completely scrapped. The control system of the Jupiter cannon and the command system of Sangvis Ferri were entirely wrecked.
From now on, Architect could only rely on her own signals to command the Sangvis units.
"Damn it! Why is this jamming device so strong!?" Turning her head to look at the jamming signal transmission tower hundreds of meters away from the artillery platform, Architect angrily pounded the ground
If this jammer had been destroyed in the bombardment just now, she would have been able to contact Gager now!
Although there were still four or five Jupiter cannons on the artillery platform that had not been destroyed, they were also damaged. The internal backup energy could support three or four attacks, but that was all.
Looking at the never-ending bombardment, it was clear that the armored train on the military side was likely unscathed! The intensity of the artillery fire was no different from the beginning!
The artillery platform was destroyed. Even if she could escape back to the mainframe alive from this war zone, it was unknown how dangerous the next mission would be. Moreover, after returning, it was more likely that she would be dismantled into parts by the mainframe and the angry Agent...
Originally, she planned to lure Griffin over, let Griffin's dolls make a big fuss at the artillery platform, and then she would escape... But who would have thought that the military would jump in and do all the things that Griffin was supposed to in her plan!
However, the military would definitely not accept an Sangvis Ferri doll like her. The possibility that she would be disassembled and analyzed directly after being captured was almost 100%.
While thinking, Architect did not stop. This place was still under bombardment! If she did not withdraw from the position quickly, even she might...
Boom!
"Ouch! Why are they coming again! Do these shells have eyes?!"
She was sure that these shells had no guidance function, but just now, they almost passed her body and hit the ground.
Fortunately, the body material of the elite Sangvis Ferri doll was relatively strong, and the shrapnel and impact alone were not enough to make her fall apart...
"Wait! Where's my left leg!?" Architect was about to get up and rush out of this area. Just as she was about to stand up, she stumbled and fell to the ground.
Looking down, she found that her left calf, just connected to her knee, had disappeared!
"Damn it! Gager! What's the point of leaving me here alone to be bombed?" Architect shouted angrily, struggling to stand up with her only remaining leg, and hopping towards a Dragoon lying on the ground not far away.
"Tsk!" Looking at the Dragoon whose arms were blown off by the bombardment and struggling to get up, Architect looked around helplessly.
While she was busy modifying the attack parameters of the Jupiter cannon, the ordinary Sangvis Ferri units left by the Gager in the artillery platform were rarely intact now, either missing arms or broken legs.
Like the Dragoon in front of her, who only lost her arms, it was estimated that she was relatively intact.
Except for the Sangvis Ferri units taken away by Gager and Scarecrow, there were originally more than 300 Sangvis Ferri units left, but now there were only dozens left, or maybe only a dozen? Anyway, Architect didn't see many Sangvis Ferris still walking back and forth.
Commanding the remaining Sangvis Ferris to stay away from the artillery platform, Architect struggled to push up the overturned snowmobile next to the Dragoon and glanced at the location of the jammer in annoyance.
The order for Scarecrow to modify the interference level came from the mainframe, unless she directly blew up the thing with weapons.
However, she had thrown her weapons in the main control room a long time ago, and now it was estimated they had become wreckage together with the equipment in the main control room...
If she had known earlier, she would have taken those weapons to Renault! Renault and the others would definitely not care about such a small matter!
Architect raised her hand and patted her forehead, trying to stay energetic. After losing a lot of circulating fluid from the broken calf, the temperature inside her body began to rise gradually.
The Dragoon, who couldn't get up without arms, was placed in the back seat of the Dragoon's vehicle, and Architect tried to start it, "Huh, it can still be used. Fortunately, this thing can be driven as long as you have hands."
Boom!
Another shell exploded not far away.
Architect did not wait any longer. She looked back at the Sangvis Ferri dolls running out of the platform one after another. After silently apologizing to them in her heart, she directly controlled the snowmobile and rushed out!
"Wuhu!"
As soon as Architect rushed out of the Sangvis Ferri artillery platform, she immediately felt something different, as if all the artillery, Sangvis, and her worries were left behind her
"Sorry, Gager, I will go to Renault to find helpers, and then get you back!"
While muttering, the snowmobile rushed straight to the location of the Renault spacecraft under the control of Architect.
...
"That... that doll said that the door of the safe house seems unable to be opened. We may need to go in and help..."
"Uh? No way, even if this safe house looks old, it shouldn't be so bad that even the door can't be opened, right?" M16 scratched her head and jumped out of the cabin helplessly. RO and AR15 followed her out.
Of course, HK416 also came out and stretched, "The battlefield is quite close here. It sounds like the military and Sangvis Ferri are fighting hard."
Although there were trees blocking the view, the roar of gunfire in the distance could still be heard, HK416 reallt wanted to go over there and join in the chaos.
"Well, I don't want to go anyway. The commander didn't say we should face those guys head-on." G11, who was sitting in the cabin and hadn't come out, looked up at HK416 who was eager to try, lowered her head, and focused her attention on the mobile phone in her hand.
"Huh? You guys, why are you still watching a TV series after coming out? Why don't you go out a little bit after changing the new power core?" Seeing G11's lazy look, HK416 rolled her eyes in annoyance.
While the two were talking, M4 and the others had already walked towards the "safe house." However, as soon as they entered, they found something wrong...
Although this building looked intact from a distance, only the main structure was untouched. The windows and doors had long been rusted and decayed. It looked like it had nothing to do with the word "safe house."
"This...? Did we go to the wrong place?"
Chapter 63: Just a Small Company
"Hello!? Is anyone there?!"
Just when M4 and the others were searching the abandoned building repeatedly, trying to find the entrance to the safe house, UMP9, who was still sitting in the engine room of the gunship, suddenly heard a shouting voice.
"What? Sister 45? Did you speak just now?"
"No, what did you hear?" UMP45 raised her eyebrows but did not doubt whether UMP9 had heard it wrong.
After all, the body that UMP9 is using now does not have to worry about ordinary signal interference, and the neural protection firewall is also very tight, so there would definitely be no problems under normal circumstances.
"It seemed like someone was shouting just now, as if asking if there is anyone around," UMP9 scratched her head and looked around. The voice she just heard was obviously not from the few people in the engine room at the moment.
"Hey! I heard it! Is anyone there? Open the door!"
Dongdongdong!
"Oh? Under my feet?" Hearing the sound again, UMP45 was also a little surprised.
No wonder HK416 and M4 couldn't find the entrance to the safe house after searching around the building. It turned out that the building was just a cover. Was the entrance actually under the collapsed fountain beneath their feet?
It was just crushed by the gunship, so it was no wonder that M4 couldn't find it. After hearing the sound of the gunship engine starting outside, M16 ran out of the building and saw UMP45 moving the gunship away from the fountain.
"Where are you going?" After taking two steps, M16 looked at UMP9 who jumped out of the cabin with some surprise.
"Nowhere, we just found the entrance to the safe house," UMP9 said as she raised her hand to push away the crushed stones.
Looking at the mechanical parts hidden in the stones, M16 immediately understood.
After clearing the stones, a relatively new metal hatch was exposed. However, before UMP9 could find a way to open the hatch on the ground, the hatch was pushed open from the inside, and a doll with silver hair and a streak of red in it crawled out directly from inside.
"Huh, I didn't expect you to come so quickly, but how is this entrance..." The doll who crawled out of the safe house was obviously happy to see UMP9 and M16 in front of her, but halfway through her words, she looked at UMP9 with suspicion.
"What? What's wrong?" M16 looked at the doll who suddenly kept silent in some surprise and scratched her head.
"What is the Sangvis Ferri identification signal on you...?" The doll turned her head to look at M16. After confirming that the identification signal on M16 was indeed Griffin's signal, the doll immediately asked UMP9 with some curiosity.
"Huh? Sangvis Ferri signal? Oh! I forgot to change it back." UMP9 patted her forehead and quickly changed the identification signal on her body to Griffin's identification signal.
Seeing UMP9 changing the identification signal in front of her, the expression on Griffin doll suddenly became extremely strange, because the identification signals on UMP9, whether it was the Sangvis Ferri signal or the Griffin signal, were all signals with high-level command authority.
Griffin's side was okay, because M4, who was walking over not far away, had the same level of identification signal.
But the Sangvis Ferri signal was a little different. Not only was it higher than the identification signal used by her, but it also had a certain command authority. Obviously, with the technology on Griffin, it was impossible to be compatible with Sangvis Ferri's command authority...
"Hello, I'm M4 from the AR team."
"Griffin tactical doll M1887."
M4 nodded. Although she was a little curious about the Sangvis Ferri identification signal on M1887, she didn't doubt it much because she had seen the example of Renault's doll. After all, M4 had seen all the elite dolls at the Sangvis Ferri artillery platform before, and now the Sangvis Ferri was fighting with the military, so they should not have time to come and trouble them.
Of course, the most important thing was the Griffin safe house under their feet. The location information was all provided by Gentiane, and their communication method was also Renault's mobile phone, so there was no possibility of information leakage.
"I've heard of you, but I didn't expect that it would be the AR team coming here, but how did you come so quickly? My message was sent not long ago, and only half of it was sent?"
"Uh, we were just nearby..."
"Nearby?" Hearing this, M1887 looked at M4 in surprise, "The interference nearby is so strong, how did you receive the signal from the headquarters?"
Now there is not only interference from Sangvis Ferri, but also communication interference from the military. The interference on both sides adds up, except for fixed-line communication, ordinary communication methods are almost impossible to successfully connect.
It's the same even when using the Sangvis Sangvis Ferri communication channel... She already tried it...
"Um, that, AR team's special communication method?" M4 said uncertainly after hearing M1887's question.
After all, the phones Renault gave them were really too outrageous.
"Okay, but how do we leave now? Will we walk towards the nearest airport?" Seeing that M4 didn't seem to want to say it, M1887 shrugged.
"Walk? Why walk? Let's go on a gunship." SOP2 heard it and pointed to the gunship parked next to her.
"Huh?" As soon as SOP2 said this, M1887 immediately noticed the huge gunship parked next to her. With her mouth wide open, she looked at the transportation vehicle in front of her that was completely different from the Griffin transport plane in disbelief.
Just now, all her attention was focused on the Sangvis Ferri signal on UMP9, and she didn't notice the air gunship parked next to it...
"Are the equipment equipped by the AR team so luxurious?" M1887 looked around the gunship in front of her and muttered in a low voice with some resentment.
"No, no, no, this is not from the AR team, nor from Griffin, Renault Security Contracting Firm, UMP40, but I think you should hurry up and come up. Is there anything you didn't take?" UMP40 stood at the door of the cabin and waved to everyone.
"Renault Security Contracting Firm?" M1887 tilted her head in some surprise, as if she had never heard of this name.
"Well, it's just a small company, it's normal that it's not famous," UMP40 said, and waved again, urging everyone to hurry up.
Small company?
M1887 stepped into the gunship cabin and looked at the furnishings in the cabin. She immediately saw the conspicuous gunner's control console in the cabin. After all, Griffin's transport plane didn't have such a thing.
And... the equipment in this aircraft, no matter how you look at it, is more than twice as good as that of an ordinary transport plane. Anyway, Griffin definitely doesn't have a transport plane of this level...
Thinking of this, M1887 immediately noticed that, in addition to UMP9 just now, whether it was UMP40 who just greeted her to board the plane, UMP45 who was responsible for driving the gunship, or G11 who was sitting in the cabin without looking up, the signals on their bodies were all the same Sangvis Ferri signals as UMP9.
However, there was nothing unusual about M4 and the others beside her, so there should be... no problem, right?
Chapter 64: Can't Hear
"No!? How can such a big ship disappear? It was clearly here a few hours ago!"
Looking at the empty space with only cratered ground and a large pile of bonfire debris, Architect was dumbfounded.
She had only left Renault for a short time, but the ship had already flown away!?
Architect jumped off the snowmobile in a rage, but because she landed on one leg, she rolled on the ground without paying attention. After getting up, she looked around carefully and found that the wooden house built by Renault and his friends not far away had also become wreckage. She sat down on the ground in a daze.
"It's over... I don't know where Renault and his dolls went, and they can't be contacted now. There's no trace of Griffin, and the Sangvis Ferri Headquarters can't be contacted either! If I had known this earlier, I should have laid a fixed route all the way when I came here!"
Architect slapped her forehead in anger, but then looked up at the sky. Although it was already night, the visibility in the sky was still high. After all, it was a sunny day, and so, it was naturally clear at night.
"A black spot? What is that... Wow! So they didn't leave! Hey! Hey! Down here! There are still people who want to get on the spaceship! Hey!"
The excited Architect shouted loudly, causing the Sangvis Ferris units beside her to look at their boss in surprise, wondering what she was shouting about.
After shouting for a while, Architect stopped helplessly. She was so excited that she just shouted without considering the height of the spaceship. According to the height of the spaceship in the sky, it was at least thousands of meters away from the ground at this moment. It would be strange if anyone heard her voice at such a distance, especially through the armor plate of the spaceship!
"Oh my! Damn it! I wanted to ask Renault to help rescue people! Do I have to find Gafer and the others now?" Scratching her hair, Architect grabbed the dragoon on the snowmobile, ordered her and the Sangvis Ferris units that were about to arrive to wait at this position, and then turned around and rushed to the war zone!
Although Renault and the others hadn't left yet, the spaceship was already floating in the air. God knows when they will leave, so she had to hurry up!
Although she couldn't contact Renault, Scarecrow could definitely! It's not like she didn't see Scarecrow at Renault's place!
Although she didn't have much chance to work with Scarecrow, she still knew something about Scarecrow's experience. She still had the authority to browse the combat records. She was naturally aware of Scarecrow's initiative to contact Renault.
To be honest, if Scarecrow hadn't just called Renault and Renault hadn't gone over to rescue Scarecrow, she wouldn't have thought of coming to Renault before.
She just hopes that Scarecrow guy hasn't turned into a pile of parts yet!
...
"Send them to Griffin's airport? Yeah, got it, be careful."
"Understood, don't worry, Commander, I will definitely bring them back intact." Hearing what Renault said, UMP45 immediately understood and nodded.
If their commander suddenly said "be careful," there must be a problem. Otherwise, there was no need to worry about their safety.
The sturdy air gunship is not afraid of those ordinary anti-aircraft missiles at all. If they wanted to run away, the military would definitely not be able to catch up with them.
But going to Griffin-affiliated Airport is different. The military has advanced to a place dozens of kilometers away from the Sangvis Ferris position. The Griffin airport is originally under the control of Sangvis Ferri.
It is hard to guarantee that the military will not send people to occupy the airport or arrange some backup around the airport.
If they just arrived at the airport and got off the gunship, they might be surrounded by the military. Even if they were not killed, they would definitely be in a very embarrassing situation.
God knows what exactly the military sent out. If it was just simple soldiers or a Cyclops, it would be fine. But if it was something like a doe or a Hydra... the possibility of a doe is greater. After all, the machine guns equipped by the doe can at least deal with some ordinary transport planes.
Just like the transport plane used by Griffin...
Let alone UMP45's thoughts, after Renault hung up the communication, he looked at the data on the scanner with some surprise.
"Commander, there seem to be some Sangvis Ferris units gathered directly below the spacecraft, but there are very few, only more than 20, and more than a dozen signal sources are approaching this side." M1 Garand also noticed this and immediately said with some surprise.
"Could it be that Architect brought people here?"
"It doesn't look like it. The strength of these signal sources is not high. They should be just some ordinary Sangvis Ferris." G36 squinted her eyes and looked at the screen, shook her head and said, while pouring a cup of tea for Renault.
M1 Garand nodded and looked at the battle zone between the Sangvis Ferris and the military in the distance. The military's artillery bombardment had stopped at this time, and the Jupiter cannon on the Sangvis Ferris side had also been silenced. The roar on the battlefield was also much smaller at this time.
However, the faint flames coming from the battle zone could still be seen, but the scale was more than half smaller than at the beginning. Obviously, the fight between the military and the Sangvis Ferris was about to be settled.
It must be said that if the two sides were to fight humans, it would be a complete loss-making battle. But now, the military sent out droids, and the Sangvis Ferri side was also full of automatons. Although the elite dolls were elites, they were still dolls after all...
Even if the two sides fought to the death, the only losses in the end were some industrial products that could be produced continuously as long as there were resources...
"Commander, isn't it time yet?"
If they waited any longer, Sangvis Ferri's side might be completely wiped out, while the military side, their armored train was still intact, and there was also a large group of military dolls guarding the armored train.
"Soon."
Renault scratched his chin, a little surprised, because the quality of the Sangvis Ferris jammer was really beyond his expectations. He didn't expect that after such a bombardment, the thing had not been knocked down.
After confirming that the Sangvis Ferriss had been completely wiped out, the military should have sent people to the jammer to destroy it. After all, the military still needed to evacuate, and the armored train probably had to be taken away.
Although the Sangvis Ferri''s Jupiter Cannon failed to successfully penetrate the Force Shields of the armored train, the Jupiter Cannon still had some results... It blew up the rails that the armored train relied on to move...
Chapter 65: I Heard It
"Have you connected with M1887? Are you heading to Griffin's airport now? OK, got it. Commander Helian said that a transport plane has been sent, but due to signal interference, we can't contact you for the time being. You may need to wait at the airport for a while."
Gentiane's voice came from M4's mobile phone. M16 nodded in understanding.
It was almost the same as she expected. Compared with Renault's communication technology, Griffin was still more inferior.
Fortunately, they had the mobile phone given by Renault; otherwise, let alone contacting Gentiane at this moment, they couldn't even confirm the location of Griffin's airport.
"Okay." M4 nodded, responded, hung up the phone, and felt relieved. HK416, who had nothing to do after following out, shrugged her shoulders helplessly, "It seems that this time is the case. If I had known it would be like this, I might as well apply to go to Sangvis Ferri's side of combat."
"Hehe, you still want to go to Sangvis Ferri's warzone? I think you are too excited after changing your energy core. Why don't you just say that you want to wipe out the military's armored units by yourself?" UMP45, who was driving the gunship, heard this and immediately laughed and teased.
"Hmph! The worst that can happen is to run away! Anyway, those guys will definitely not catch up!" Upon hearing this, HK416 subconsciously calculated her chances of winning against a large number of armored units in her mind and immediately turned her head away awkwardly.
"Hmph, don't worry, there will be a chance for you to show your ability later." UMP45 narrowed her eyes, raised her eyebrows at UMP40 beside her, and said with a smirk.
UMP40 understood what was happening, winked at UMP45, and then sat down in her seat without saying anything.
Seeing the little action between the two, AR15 raised her eyebrows and whispered something to SOP2.
After AR15 finished speaking, SOP2's eyes suddenly lit up. HK416 was complaining that nothing happened after coming out, and she was no different. Now that she knew there would be a battle at the airport, she had to prepare well.
As for M4 and M16, let them wait on the gunship for the time being. They might not face those Sangvis Ferri, but serious military armored units. The weapons in M4's hands might not be able to knock down a few Hydras even if they ran out of bullets, so they should save their energy.
…
M1 Garand, who was on the bridge, and M1911, who had just come over, were all a little surprised at the actions of the Sangvis Ferri on the screen. The Sangvis Ferri, who had been fighting the military, now broke away from the frontal battlefield and turned a corner to rush towards the military's armored train.
The military seemed to be unaware of their actions. After clearing out the last few Manticores, the remaining Hydras and Cyclops moved straight towards the Sangvis Ferri's artillery platform.
"This? Doesn't the Sangvis Ferri want to defend their artillery platform?" M1911 asked in surprise.
"Uh, the Sangvis Ferri's artillery platform are probably in ruins now," M1 Garand explained helplessly.
"Then why are they rushing towards the military?"
The targets they should be protecting are gone. In this case, shouldn't they retreat first and then make long-term plans?
"I don't know, but it should be related to Architect who rushed over later..."
Although she didn't notice when Architect rushed to the bottom of the spaceship, she was fine standing on the bridge afterwards, so she took a look at the movements of the Sangvis Ferri. The Sangvis Ferri bypassed the front battlefield and rushed directly to the military armored train. It was after Architect and the other elite Sangvis Ferri met each other.
M1911 scratched her head and looked at Renault in confusion, but she happened to see Renault raise his hand and press a button on the main console.
"This is..."
As Renault moved, the several dolls on the bridge, whether M1 Garand or wz.29 who was controlling the spaceship, all widened their eyes in surprise.
Because just now, they suddenly found that the Sangvis Ferri internal communication channel, which was originally full of signal interference, suddenly became unblocked at this moment, and the messy interference in the communication channel was swept away.
Now they could even hear the conversation between Architect and Gager at this position.
"Gager! Can you please stop being so stubborn! The artillery platform is already destroyed! I am your superior after all, right? Why don't you leave this place with me?"
"Did you already guess that this would happen? What were you planning before?"
Obviously, the Gager was not willing to just clap her hands and run away with Architect. At the very least, she wanted to find out whether Architect had received an order from the mainframe before. If Architect had received an order before but failed to act...
"Hey! Didn't I say it? I! Haven't! Done! Anything!!"
Listening to Architect's word-by-word shouting, M1 Garand and M1911 couldn't help but felt it was a little funny. If it was MDR, she would probably be recording with a recorder by now.
In fact, MDR did so. She even deliberately found a loudspeaker and played the conversation between Architect and the Gager directly. She held a recorder in one hand and recorded everything with a smile. Vera scratched her head helplessly. She had never expected MDR to act so quickly. Even she hadn't thought of doing these things.
As MDR played the sound on the Sangvis Ferri communication channel, the dolls in the spacecraft switched to the Sangvis Ferri communication channel one after another, trying to hear what was new on the Sangvis Ferri side.
Scarecrow who stayed in the workshop to organize tools heard Architect's voice at this time and immediately shook her head helplessly, then turned her head to remind SPAS-12, who was cleaning the repair room with a rag, "Don't stand there, move quickly, otherwise when Renault comes back, be careful since he might hang you on the deck to blow along with the wind."
Of course, it is unlikely to just be a decoration just to be blown by the wind, but it is very possible to let SPAS-12 go outside to work at a high altitude while repairing the paint on the top deck that was blown off by the shells.
Upon hearing what Scarecrow said, SPAS-12 smiled awkwardly, "This, this is a little hard to clean with just rag..."
"You know it's hard to clean, but why don't you speed it up? This is the first time I've seen someone put crepes and sweet and spicy sauce in their pockets." Scarecrow rolled her eyes at this guy unhappily.
Although she noticed the strong smell of food on this guy when she replaced her energy core before, SPAS-12 often has this smell, especially the smell of fried food.
Naturally, she wouldn't take this little thing to heart...
Who would have thought that this guy not only had freshly-cooked crepes in her pocket but also a large box of sweet and spicy sauce?
Grease, cheese, sauces—the repair pos is now full of residues and stains of these things, and no doll would want to get into such a repair pod.
Chapter 66: Falling from the Sky
As the Sangvis group moved, the military armored train soon arrived in front of them. Fortunately, the snowmobile driven by Architect, though it looked like a snowmobile, actually made very little noise except for some motor-driven sounds.
Otherwise, the military figures on the armored train might have noticed someone coming.
Although the quarrel between Architect and Gager was loud, it happened on the Sangvis communication channel. Outside, apart from seeing the two glaring at each other, no one could hear anything.
Behind the two were Scarecrow, Hunter, and Executioner, all more or less injured.
The reason they rushed towards the military armored train was naturally because they learned from Architect that the artillery platform had been completely destroyed.
Although the artillery platform had been silenced before, they did not receive any accurate information due to interference. Now that they had learned from Architect, they had no reason to continue to confront the military unit head-on.
They turned, bypassed the military units from one side, and rushed directly towards the armored train.
The goal was to annihilate these military combat units. After all, that was written into the underlying logic of the Sangvis Dolls.
As for Architect's constant request to let them leave with her to Renault? Gager didn’t say anything, so how could the three of them just follow Architect and run away?
Moreover, Architect obviously wanted to persuade Gager to go with her; otherwise, she would have called Renault long ago.
As for why Architect had a phone on hand, it was naturally prepared by Scarecrow.
Although it was remade, Scarecrow hadn't forgotten Renault's phone number, so she prepared another mobile phone early. As early as when the Manticores was about to be exhausted, she had intended to call Renault.
But before she could do anything, Architect drove over on a snowmobile.
Now they had rushed to a spot less than 500 meters away from the military armored train. Even if they called now, Renault would not be able to come to rescue them in time.
These military guys wouldn't be like Griffin's people, who wanted to capture them alive...
"Ah..." Thinking of this, Scarecrow couldn't help but sigh.
"What are you sighing for? Do you think you're at the end of your rope?" Just after Scarecrow sighed, Hunter's voice suddenly rang in her ears.
Hearing the voice, Scarecrow turned her head in surprise and looked at Hunter beside her. "Do you have any solutions?"
"Huh? What solution? I didn't say anything just now?" Hearing this, Hunter raised her eyebrows strangely. She was also wondering why she suddenly heard her own voice.
Could it be that she was mentally damaged after being hit by the Hydra just now, and now she was hallucinating?
"Don't stand there like an idiot. Look up."
Just as the two looked at each other in confusion, Executioner's voice suddenly sounded again.
But this voice did not belong to Executioner beside them... it came from...
The Sangvis communication channel!
Thinking of this, their eyes lit up! They all looked up at the sky!
They saw a huge black shadow, which had moved directly above the military armored train without them noticing!
It seemed the black shadow was still lowering its altitude!
"Hey! Finally, I can talk! Hunter, didn’t you agree not to make a sound?" Just as the two were shocked, the Sangvis communication channel suddenly became noisy, and the voices of talking and chatting filled the entire channel.
"Hey! I was just excited for a moment and wanted to see what expression the other me would have on her face."
"Who did you learn this bad taste from?"
"Don't you also want to see it?"
The chaotic voices stunned Architect and Gager on the ground for a moment. They stopped arguing and looked up.
"Be quiet. Remember, the combat goal is to annihilate all military units while ensuring your own safety."
As the voice of M1 Garand sounded, the communication channel suddenly became quiet.
"Understood."
The unanimous response from the group of dolls made Architect and Gager on the ground tense up.
Then they saw that in the huge black shadow almost falling on their heads, a few inconspicuous black dots suddenly appeared from both sides of the massive hull!
Jump! They jumped down!?
Architect and Gager's eyelids twitched. They didn’t expect these guys to jump directly from the spaceship! Normally, they should have started to move after landing, or by rappelling...
Forget it, it’s Renault’s dolls anyway; no matter how outrageous it is, they won't be surprised...
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The roar of heavy objects falling to the ground rang out one after another!
The dolls and armored units of the military didn’t expect someone to fall vertically from above their heads!
Before the military dolls could react, the machine guns equipped on the first few power armors that fell had already started firing at the armored units!
Bang bang bang bang!
Whether it was the Aegis or the Cyclops, the armor on these dolls wasn’t designed to deal with weapons like machine guns.
The machine guns specially designed to deal with light armored targets opened fire and directly tore a line of destruction through the Cyclops and Aegis teams!
Seeing this, the dolls and power armors that fell later didn’t hesitate. They raised their weapons and began shooting at the remaining military units.
Although not as powerful as the machine guns on the power armor, the guns modified by Renault were more than enough to handle these doll units with only light armor.
"Wow! It's true..." Architect who saw this scene suddenly stiffened.
The droids of the military had no time to react to the appearance of these power armors and dolls. They didn’t even have time to raise their guns before they were ruthlessly wiped out by these dolls and power armors.
And the military combat personnel guarding the command vehicle naturally did not escape the attack of these guys.
In fact, the military base vehicle was originally the focus of the attack.
It was targeted by several power armors right away. Under the attack of the machine guns, the surface of the train was completely turned into a sieve!
"Fortunately, we didn't fall out with these guys before..."
Chapter 67: Tasteless, but a Pity to Throw Away
After being strafed by machine guns, the military command vehicle looked completely riddled with holes at first glance. However, if you looked closely, you would find that although the bullet holes on the vehicle body appeared terrible, only a few had successfully penetrated the vehicle body!
Buzz!
Just when M1 Garand and the others thought that everything was settled, the base vehicle that had not moved suddenly restarted!
The engine roared, and it was about to escape!
Seeing this, M1 Garand had no time to warn anyone and directly controlled her power armor to crash into the side of the vehicle!
And she was not the only one who had the same idea...
Bang!
Six or seven power armors collided with the command vehicle almost simultaneously!
Even the huge command vehicle could not help but tilt to one side under this sudden and violent impact!
However, it only tilted, and there was still a long way to go before it completely overturned. As the wheels of the command vehicle kept turning, it only took two or three seconds to return to normal.
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! Hey!" Seeing that the command vehicle was about to stabilize, CF05 shouted loudly, raised her hand, and stuffed a boulder more than one meter high directly under the command vehicle!
NZ75 and MP40, who were not wearing power armor, also got a large stone to clamp the body of the command vehicle at the right time.
The two stones happened to be one in front and one behind, stopping the command vehicle's intention to escape. M1 Garand and several others also came over immediately and completely overturned the command vehicle to the ground.
"Tsk tsk, it's really neat and tidy." Looking at the power armor and the actions of the group of dolls, Architect couldn't help but exclaim.
"Hmph, it's nothing more than taking advantage of a situation. If there were any Hydras here, they wouldn’t have succeeded so easily in beating us." Executioner, who had many wounds on her body, looked at the doll figures with some indignation, and sat on a stone with folded arms.
"Heh! That's also taking advantage! At least we aren't like you guys who got beaten for nothing!"
As soon as Executioner finished speaking, a voice exactly like hers was heard.
Another Executioner who also carried a sword came over triumphantly, looking at the bruised and battered Sangvis Executioner, her eyes full of amusement.
"You!?..." Sangvis Executioner was about to get angry, but turned around and saw a figure exactly the same as herself, except for the clothes.
"Well, although I felt a little strange when I saw them at Renault’s place before, the current situation is really hard to describe." Seeing this, Architect said to Gager beside her with some emotion.
Gager pulled the corner of her mouth helplessly. Although she had imagined seeing this scene before, she didn’t expect her idea to happen so quickly.
As Executioner on Renault’s side came to Architect and others, Scarecrow, Hunter, Disruptor, and even Alchemist and Ouroboros from Renault’s group all came over.
"Hey, hey, hey, this is a bit too much. Is your side the Sangvis Ferri or are we the Sangv Ferri?" Seeing the elite Sangvis units appearing one after another, Architect couldn’t help but complain directly.
Although she did see them on Renault’s spaceship, she didn’t think there was anything wrong because they were not gathered together.
But now...
Six elite dolls who were supposed to belong to Sangvis Ferri stood in front of her, and there was Destroyer in the distance trying to pry open the door of the command vehicle with other dolls...
A total of seven...
Well, if you think about it this way, one more of her is not too much, and adding Gager is not a big deal. It’s not impossible to take the three guys on her side as well.
The more Architect thought about it, the brighter her eyes became. In the end, before the Scarecrow from Renault’s group could speak, Architect suddenly raised her hand and shouted loudly.
"I want to change jobs!"
"Huh?" Architect’s sudden shout made the Hunter and Executioner beside her exclaim in
surprise.
Gager and the Scarecrow of Sangvis looked at each other, as if they had expected Architect’s behavior at this moment.
But if Architect ran away at this time, the Sangvis mastermind and Agent would probably be furious, right?
Being buried in an artillery platform was not the end; the elite doll was even directly abducted by others. Just thinking about this kind of thing is enough to make people angry
The Scarecrow on Renault’s side shrugged her shoulders. When she heard M1 Garand mention that Architect had been to the place where their spaceship was parked, she probably guessed what Architect was going to do. Now that she heard this, there was no surprise at all.
After all, whether it was a while ago or when she came to eat before, Architect had already written the words “I don’t want to leave” on her face.
"Although Renault will probably agree, it’s better for you to tell him in person about this kind of thing, right?" Scarecrow said this, but her eyes were looking at the Scarecrow opposite her, who looked exactly like her.
When she called Renault for help in the past, she did not stop transmitting data to the Sangvis Ferri server, so Scarecrow in front of her, who looked exactly like her, probably had the same memories.
The only difference is probably the memories after she was taken away by Renault.
Hunter and Executioner should be similar, and the difference in memory is nothing more than the omission of dozens of minutes or hours.
When the Scarecrow on the opposite side said this, Hunter and Executioner on Architect’s side all turned their heads in surprise and looked at the Sangvis Scarecrow behind them.
Could it be that she had long thought about running away from Sangvis Ferri?
Otherwise, why would she look at you when she said this?
"Well, then I'll go ask him later." Being stared at by the two, the Sangvis Scarecrow was also a little embarrassed, turned away, and said with a guilty conscience.
"Ah? No! No! I want to change jobs!" Seeing that Scarecrow on Renault’s side was actually talking to her Scarecrow, Architect immediately jumped in front of the Scarecrow on one foot and shouted.
"Yeah, I know, but we have to wait for Renault to come before we talk about anything."
Bang!
As Scarecrow was talking, there was another dull crash on the open space that had been almost cleared by a group of dolls and power armor.
It was Renault who jumped down immediately after seeing the dust settle below. Although he also looked down on those military dolls and there was nothing worth taking away on the armored train, this command vehicle still had some value.
It was mainly the command equipment inside and the data on the equipment.
Chapter 68: Wish You Good Luck
Crack! Squeak!
As Simonov and the others controlled the power armor to tear open the door of the command vehicle, a series of bullets were fired directly from inside!
Ding-ding-ding-ding!
A series of bullets bounced off the surface of the power armor, having no effect except for making the surrounding dolls hear the sound.
Several military personnel in the command vehicle were directly pulled out by Simonov, thrown aside, crashing into the ground, and fainting.
Although there was no follow-up shooting, a group of dolls came over after seeing the door being torn open. With so many people, they couldn't help but step on these unlucky soldiers a few times...
If it were just ordinary dolls stepping on them, they might have survived, but if they were hit by the power armor—more than one ton and close to two tons, plus their current overweight figure—it's over for them.
"Is this the military command vehicle? At first glance, it doesn't look much different from Griffin's combat command room." WA2000 poked her head out and looked at the equipment in the vehicle but couldn't see any difference.
"What big difference can there be? Most of the equipment is produced by IOP and Svarog Heavy Industries. Even if there is a difference, it won't be too big." Type 80 adjusted her glasses and stopped paying attention to it after a glance. There was nothing noteworthy.
"Commander, is this the end? Aren't there still many Hydras and Cyclopses on the military side heading towards the Sangvis Ferri base? Don't we need to annihilate all the remaining ones?" MG42 also came over to take a look and then asked Renault.
She had just jumped down and fired a few shots, and it was over. This action seemed a bit too fast...
"No need. Those autonomous units will crash directly after losing the command system." Renault waved his hand and then signaled everyone to move the command vehicle.
Hearing this, Sawblade and WA2000 looked at each other, somewhat puzzled. They had never heard that military doll system would crash without a command system...
"Hey! Shorty! Come here! Help me dismantle this!" Just when Renault entered the command vehicle and didn't know what to do, Nagant Revolver's shout rang out from the side.
Several dolls, including Nagant Revolver, had surrounded the armored train. It seemed they were planning how to dismantle the armored train and take it away.
Super-Shorty and M500, who heard the call, walked over and looked at Nagant Revolver and C96 with some confusion.
"Didn't the commander say that we don't need to pay attention to this armored train? What's the point of dismantling it?"
"Shh! This is a secret! We actually..." Nagant Revolver quickly raised her finger and whispered. A power armor making such a cautious move always seemed a bit... funny.
"What?"
"We are remodeling the SCV that the commander modified! These artillery pieces can be installed on that machine after they are moved back!" Nagant Revolver said in a low voice, unaware that Renault in the command vehicle had already heard it clearly.
This guy thought their little move was unnoticed by Renault, but Renault had already seen it. They secretly occupied a warehouse in the middle layer of the spaceship. How could he not know?
However, that SCV was originally an emergency product and not very convenient to use. If there is spare time in the future, he can consider making a new one. A larger one—the current one is a bit too small.
Thinking this, Renault directly hacked into the command system of the command vehicle, copied all the data related to the force shield, and also extracted the base code data used by the command vehicle to command those military units.
With this data, he could let his dolls master certain military authority over military units after returning. It should be no problem for them to command a small number of military autonomous units to fight in a short period.
After obtaining the data, Renault did not forget the remaining military units. However, just as he was about to cut off the action rights of those autonomous units and clear their action records, he found that those armored units had already entered a state of chaos.
The military units heading to Griffin Airport were not too small. They were probably fighting with HK416 and the others at this moment. However, the number was substantial, with more than 30 Hydras, over 100 Cyclops, and more than 20 Hinds.
With the firepower of the aerial gunship and the capabilities of HK416 and the others, they should be able to handle it. At worst, UMP45 and UMP40, specialists in electronic warfare, could paralyze a small part of the military units for a short time.
There were fewer military units heading to the Sangvis Ferri artillery platform—less than 50, and most of them were Cyclops. However, Architect had already moved all the remaining Sangvis units to the open space where the spacecraft had been parked before.
There's also a team going to the Sangvis base at this time and clash with the military's autonomous units...
It should only be AK12's team, right? With their strength, it should be no problem to deal with such a small number of military droids.
Besides, Angelia didn't pay him more money, so he can only let them fend for themselves.
Of course, if AK12 and the others were overwhelmed, he would still rescue them, but that possibility seemed unlikely.
Thinking of this, Renault gave up the action of directly shutting down those military autonomous units. He would let HK416 find a place to vent her skills. The military units at the airport are not something she can handle by herself.
He just didn't know what G11 had done now after spending all day in the training device, but it should scare HK416, right?
Seeing Renault walk out of the command vehicle, Scarecrow also brought Scarecrow...
This sounded so strange...
Anyway, she brought Architect and several Sangvis Ferri dolls over and told them that Architect and Scarecrow on the Sangvis Ferri side were planning to on job hopping.
"Okay, as long as you don't make too much trouble after you come here."
Renault naturally had no objection. They were old acquaintances, and Scarecrow was a role model staff member on the ship, working diligently. No boss would dislike such an employee, especially another one like it.
Hunter was okay, but she would often nag people after getting familiar them. Executioner was even simpler—a box of wine could deal with her. At most, she would let the two same people fight each other to satisfy her need to fight.
As for Architect, this guy was a little jumpy, but since she was responsible for constructing an entire artillery platform, she didn't seem that unreliable.
The only one left was Gager. This guy was still staring at him with a serious look, and Renault didn’t know what her attitude was.
However, Gager's trick was soon exposed as she was dragged away by the architect...
Seeing him not putting up any resistance and letting Architect drag her away, what else could Renault do but spread his hands and sigh?
Chapter 69: When Did You Learn That?
"What are you doing?"
Seeing G11 suddenly put away her game console, stand up from her seat, and begin to organize her equipment, HK416 asked curiously.
"Huh? Preparing to fight, haven't you noticed yet?" G11 blinked, puzzled by HK416's slowness.
When did HK416 become so slow?
Just now, whether it was the words of UMP45 and 40 or the information flow from the gunship detection device, everything indicated that a military team was stationed near the airport.
Why did HK416 look completely unaware of it?
"Notice what?"
"Uh, did you relax for too long and forget how to get combat information through the communication network?" G11 looked at HK416 helplessly. With this kind of information, if HK416 used her brain to connect to the detection system of the aerial gunship, it would take less than half a minute to get the general situation of this area.
But she was just like M4 who didn't have connection authority next to her, who was completely at a loss...
Didn't she see that SOP2 and AR15 had been prepared for a long time?
"What...ah!? Why didn't you remind me of this earlier!"
Noticing G11's gaze towards SOP2 and AR15, HK416 suddenly realized it!
She quickly connected to the gunship's detection device through the communication channel.
As soon as she connected to the detection device, all the terrain and signal sources in a large area around the gunship were instantly displayed in HK416's mental space.
Seeing this, HK416 looked up at UMP45 and UMP40 who were laughing secretly.
How could she not know that these two had deliberately not reminded her! They were just waiting to see her being stupid!
"Hmph! I'll settle this with you two when I get back!"
Looking at the sly smiles on their faces, HK416 was immediately furious. Unfortunately, there was only about a minute left before they could officially engage the enemy.
Seeing HK416 wanting to get revenge but was forced to check her equipment immediately, UMP45 and UMP40 smiled, high-fived, and cheered.
"Yeah!"
"Hmph! You can laugh now! But be careful, or you'll be shot down from the sky!" HK416 shouted unhappily, taking out the grenade launcher from her bag and securing it where she could easily reach it.
"Sorry, those Hydras don't have anti-air capabilities."
"They do, but they can't penetrate the gunship's armor."
"Anyway, the military units below are left to you guys!"
The three UMP sisters spoke one after another.
HK416 was so angry that she stood up from her seat, wishing she could use the butt of her gun to hit each of them in the face!
"Are you ready? Then be careful when you go down, don't get stuck in the trees." UMP45 wasn't panicked at all and waved to HK416 as the engine room door at the rear of the gunship opened.
"Hmph! I'll hang you all in the trees when I come back!" HK416 said indignantly, then trotted out of the engine room door without hesitation.
G11 followed closely behind.
"M4, you and Sister 16 wait here for a while. AR15 and I will go down and deal with those military units before landing." SOP2 said, then followed G11's footsteps and jumped out of the cabin.
AR15 also nodded to the three and jumped down.
"Huh? AR15!"
M4 didn't expect the others to jump down at this height!
Before she could raise her hand, the shadows of AR15 and the others had disappeared in the forest. After a few muffled sounds indicating they had landed, they disappeared completely.
"Okay, don't stand by the hatch, be careful not to fall." UMP45 said, closing the hatch again. "9, you will control the two guns."
"Okay! Leave it to me!" UMP9 rubbed her hands excitedly, jumping into the gunner's position while responding.
"There are a few machine guns nearby. If you feel like it, you can come and help. 40, have the transport planes from Griffin arrived?"
"Not yet. If they do, I'll tell them not to get close for now. But it's best to shoot down those does first."
"9, did you hear me?"
"Yeah! Leave it to me! Well, this one is on the right... this one is on the left..." UMP9 responded casually, and began to tinker with the two turrets under the belly.
"Let me help." RO635 saw the equipment in front of UMP9, her eyes lit up, raised her hand to push back M16 who stood up beside her, and rushed to sit next to UMP9.
M16, who was pushed back, scratched his head and said, "I also want to have some fun too..."
While UMP9 and RO were preparing on the gunship, the HK416s who had landed below were running towards the area where the military units were stationed.
Looking at G11, who was running in the front, short but amazingly fast, even HK416 had to admit that G11's performance at this moment seemed to be much better than hers.
The complex terrain of the snow and the forest slowed her down a lot, "G11, how come you run so fast?"
Before HK416 could ask, SOP2 had already asked.
"I have adjusted the motion data of the relevant terrain in the training device."
G11 said as a matter of course.
The combat scenes in the training device included everything. She spent all day playing in the training room. This kind of basic data already had more than one set of preset templates. Now that she happened to encounter this kind of terrain, she just took out the data and used it.
"Uh... that's it...?"
"Yeah? What else?" G11 said nonchalantly, and while speaking, she turned back and blinked, looking innocent.
Looking at G11's expression, HK416's face twitched.
Is this a joke? She also trained in the training device often!
...Why didn't she think of integrating the relevant motion data?
You obviously got beaten a lot in the training device, so you have a rich experience, aren't you!
Even HK416 had to admit that G11 spent more time in the training device than twice her usual training time! Because this guy just treats the training device as a game, damn it!
After returning, I'll drag G11 to train with me!
HK416 thought so in her heart. She also wanted to see what kind of simulation scenes G11 usually trained in. After all, when she trained, the scenes she chose were mostly normal combat scenes.
How could G11 be so diverse and not picky...
AR15 behind the two of them also looked at G11's agile figure and had the same idea as HK416.
SOP2 didn't think too much about it. After confirming the terrain data transmitted by the gunship that the military units were 200 meters ahead, she immediately whispered, "Those military Hydras are just ahead!"
Chapter 70: Remaining Enemies
"These guys! Why are they so difficult to deal with!?" AK12 stared with eyes wide open. Although there was no expression on her face, her tone was obviously annoyed.
They had just gotten off the gunship driven by UMP45 and headed straight for the Sangvis's artillery platform. Fortunately, because there were frequent patrols in this area by the Sangvis Ferri, there were many small paths that could be easily passed.
Otherwise, they really couldn't have arrived here before these military Hydras and Cyclops.
However, even if they were one step ahead, they were not too early after all. They didn't even have time to search the ruins of the main building of the artillery platform. These military Hydras and Cyclops had already discovered their whereabouts.
Originally, she wanted to find a place to hide first, and then continue the action after all these military units had left. After all, there were no other intact buildings in this area except the signal tower where they were now living.
Who would have thought that these military combat units were heading straight for the command center of the artillery platform, but suddenly turned right halfway and bumped into them face to face, tsk!
As tactical dolls that were also transformed from military doll bodies, they naturally knew how difficult these military dolls were.
Let alone the Hydra, that thing is not something that ordinary tactical dolls can deal with. The large number of Cyclops alone is enough to give them a headache.
Although there are only 30 of them, the number of Cyclops is the largest in the military. Their self-discipline program has also undergone many iterations. Although their combat effectiveness in small-scale conflicts is not as flexible as that of tactical dolls, the fire control system used by the military is not comparable to that of ordinary tactical dolls.
To put it simply, the hit rate of these Cyclops is much higher than that of tactical dolls transformed from civilian dolls!
Just look at the remaining Hydras and Cyclops and you will understand that even with several elite dolls leading the team, Sangvis Ferri was unable to wipe out all of them.
It is obvious that Sangvis Ferri is not holding back, but these military combat units are really good.
Bang! Boom!
The Hydra hundreds of meters away was moving while the grenade launcher on its body was aimed at the signal tower, and almost a continuous grenade was smashed directly at the position of AK12!
Damn it!
Seeing this, AK12 quickly retreated from the shooting position and turned over to hide on the other side away from the military.
Boom!
The explosion caused by the continuous grenades sounded like the same sound, but the subsequent explosions sounded a little sparse, and it didn't sound as coherent as at the beginning.
"It seems that they are running out of ammunition. Several Hydras have stopped attacking."
The footsteps did not stop, but what is the difference between a Hydra without ammunition and a piece of scrap metal?
Could it be that these Hydras could perform military close ranged fighting techniques on them on the spot?
This was obviously impossible. After the head-on confrontation with the Sangvis just now, the remaining military combat units had very little ammunition on them. The grenades that just poured towards the signal tower were probably the last spare ammunition on these Hydras.
It must be said that this should be considered good news...
But there is also bad news: the machine gun equipped under the Hydra body can still continue to fire...
"AK15 is in place."
"AN94 is in place."
"RPK16 is in place, but are you sure those Hydras won't turn around and attack us?"
"Don't talk about it! Get ready and do it! Otherwise, you might be able to pick up some of my parts from the ruins later!" AK12 shouted, jumping down from the window of the signal tower, rushing away from the Hydra, and occasionally turning back to fire a few shots to attract the attention of the Hydras.
"Received." As AK12's voice fell, AK15's calm voice immediately rang out in the communication channel.
Bang, bang, bang!
The three dolls who had been ambushed aimed their weapons at the Cyclops following the Hydra.
As the gunshots rang out, at least ten Cyclops fell down in an instant!
The Cyclops who were attacked immediately turned around and raised their hands to shoot at the most conspicuous RPK16!
After all, this guy was using a machine gun, and it was easiest to be discovered when firing continuously.
"Ouch!"
Seeing this, RPK16 quickly turned over and rushed out from behind the small bunker where she was hiding. This place was only convenient for shooting, and it couldn't block bullets. If she didn't want to be killed directly, she could only run away with her gun.
The next moment RPK16 ran away, the small bunker where she had just lived was soaked by bullets and then collapsed. The situation on the RPK16 side did not shake AK15 and AN94. The assault rifle in their hands did not tremble at all, and bullets hit the weak parts of the Cyclops' body accurately.
There were only more than 30 Cyclops in total. After such a sudden attack, only four or five Cyclops were left who retreated in time and hid behind the bunker.
However, these Cyclops could not hold on for long. RPK16, who was forced to leave her position before, had circled to the side of these guys and quietly poked out the muzzle from the ruins...
Bang bang bang bang!
"Huh, this is done. AK12? Is it still alive?" After checking the destroyed Cyclops, RPK16 turned her head to look in the direction of the signal tower.
She could no longer see the Hydras, and she didn't know how AK12 led these guys away.
"Of course! Find a way to kill these Hydras!" AK12's shout rang out in the communication channel, accompanied by the explosion of machine gun shells.
"Ah, this is true. Those are Hydras. I don't know if the bullets in hand can penetrate their armor," RPK16 said slowly, but she had already started to chase in the direction of AK12's escape.
AK15 and AN94 were naturally the same. Although the armor on the military's Hydra body was strong, it was not without any weaknesses.
Although these mass-produced Hydras have excellent combat effectiveness, they can only play their greatest role when they are in scale and have other arms to cooperate and cover.
Although the military's Hydra is more flexible than the Sangvis Manticores, it is only using Manticore as a comparison object.
If it is replaced with the Cyclops, the word "flexible" does not exist at all.
At this moment, for some unknown reason, the detection systems of these Hydras were faulty, so they focused on AK12 and chased him, exposing their weak armored backs.
Chapter 71: Hey! Seriously!
"There are quite a lot of them. That airport over there looks like an abandoned airport. Is it necessary to send so many combat units here?"
HK416, squatting under a tree, looked at the military armored units patrolling around the airport with some confusion.
Why would such an ordinary and empty airport get the military's attention?
"The area here is very spacious, and the runway is well preserved. There are also many hangars next to it. As long as they are slightly repaired, they can be reactivated as military facilities. There is no reason why those guys in the military will not occupy this place."
Listening to G11's well-reasoned words, HK416 was really a little scared. When she picked up G11, she was just an ordinary little doll who was a little confused all day long. How come she looks like a combat elite now? The change before and after is also...
No, no! Doesn't this guy look like she is addicted to games all day long when she is at home!?
"Okay, stop chatting. We are ready to attack. You just need to stay a little further away from our attack position," UMP45 said through the communication channel and marked the target they were going to attack on the topographic map.
Lest HK416 and the others run too fast and accidentally hurt them.
As soon as the voice fell, UMP9 opened fire at the guards stationed at the key points.
Bang!
Two tank guns fired shells at the designated targets one after another!
Boom!
Two shells hit the center of the targets!
The guards, who were all in a dormant state, had no time to react and were torn apart by the sudden attack!
A large number of parts flew out directly!
As the gunship opened fire, the Hydras that were originally patrolling around the airport also turned their fuselages around, facing the direction of the gunship, and tried to raise their machine guns and grenade launchers, as if they wanted to lock on to the target.
However, the height of the gunship at this moment was completely beyond the firing range of the machine guns on their fuselages. Unless the Hydras sat down on the ground like Dinergates, the machine guns under their fuselages would not be able to aim at the gunship.
Although the grenade launchers on the Hydra fuselages could be used, the gunship did not stay in one place, and their rules of engagement had also set up areas where firing was prohibited.
That was the airport directly below the gunship. Even if they had locked on the gunship, they had no authority to fire when facing the airport. They could only stand there stupidly, repeating the actions of locking, giving up, locking, and giving up again.
At this moment, the unmanned droids had a conflict between their combat objectives and preset instructions.
Seeing this situation, HK416 and SOP2 were still scratching their heads, but G11 had already jumped and rushed out!
"Hey! Ah! Slow down! Be careful! Really! What are you doing in such a hurry!?" Seeing G11 rushing out, HK416 also hurriedly chased after her.
G11, rushed up without even saying a word! What if something happens!?
SOP2 and AR15 also followed immediately, especially SOP2, who was so excited that she obviously planned to rush directly to the location of those Cyclops and start killing them.
AR15 rubbed her eyebrows with a headache. Why are they so troublesome? Shouldn't they discuss the battle plan before taking action?
Although AR15 was very sure that the military combat units in front of them could not do anything to them, wouldn't it be better if they could get the biggest results with the least damage? And it would hurt if the bullets hit their body, and she's afraid she will have to soak in the repair warehouse for a while after returning.
Just when AR15 was worried about the other three charging too hard, G11, who was leading the way, had already rushed straight to the Hydras that seemed to be down...
Hmm!? Hydras!? Hey! Their targets are just those ordinary Cyclops! Why are you rushing towards those Hydras!?
UMP45 had already pointed them out on the terrain map, and those Hydras were also their next artillery targets!
After all, with the weapons in the hands of G11 and HK416, it was still a bit troublesome to deal with these units with thicker armor.
But no one expected that G11 would not play by the rules! What do you want to do by rushing towards the Hydras!?
"Oh? When did G11 become so brave? Did she stay in the training device for too long, so there was some mental confusion? Did she still think she was in a training device that could be resurrected at will?" UMP45 couldn't help but exclaim at this. After all, besides Renault, this was the first time she saw a doll do this kind of thing.
Although Renault didn't rush towards a group of at least thirty or nearly forty Hydras alone like G11, at least their momentum was very similar.
"Yes, but G11 seems to have adapted to the new energy core. Her adaptability is really strong." UMP40 also exclaimed at this. G11's speed at this moment has completely exceeded the speed of ordinary dolls. She has crossed a distance of hundreds of meters in an instant!
At this speed, even if G11 didn't use weapons and just kicked the nearest Hydra, it might be able to kill it directly.
Thinking of this, UMP40's eyes lit up. Thinking about her own poor shooting skills, she couldn't help but feel that it would be more efficient for her to use her fists and feet directly!
Thinking about the cool moves in the movies, UMP40 couldn't help but gesture in the cockpit excitedly.
"What are you gesturing for!? Pay attention to Griffin's signal, lest Griffin's transport plane break in later!" Seeing UMP40's look, UMP45 poked 40's shoulder angrily.
"Oh, oh, oh!" But before UMP40 could respond, RO635's exclamation suddenly sounded from behind.
This guy, who just said she would help control the gunship's machine gun, now came to the porthole and stuck to it, staring at the G11 that had jumped high below with a pair of sparkling eyes.
"Eh? Hey! RO! Where are you? I'm still reloading here, why don't you help me shoot down the few Hinds that have already reacted over there!" UMP9 also exclaimed, looking at RO635 who suddenly came to the porthole in a daze. What is this guy doing!?
M16 sighed helplessly. She stepped forward, takint control of the machine gun, and directly fired at the Hinds that had raised their cannons.
Seeing this, M4 could only smile awkwardly at UMP9, and at the same time stretched out her hand to pull RO's clothes, trying to pull her back from the porthole... We are still in the battlefield, what on earth do you want to do now?
Chapter 72: Does It Hurt?
"Sa, count your sins!"
RO, who was lying by the porthole, didn't know what she saw. She suddenly stepped back, raised her hand, pointed in the direction of the porthole, and delivered this line sideways.
"RO... Now is not the time to do this..." M4 pulled RO's sleeve helplessly.
"Ah! Oops! I accidentally... Uh, cough!" Hearing M4's voice, RO635 came back to her senses instantly. When she turned around, she saw M4's helpless eyes and M16's curious look, as if she had discovered something interesting.
"Now I'm curious about what you saw just now that made you so excited? You don't usually act like this." M16 said with a smile, while aiming the gunship's machine gun at the targets below.
"Ahem, I was just a little excited when I saw G11 kick over a Hydra..." RO635 scratched her cheek awkwardly. When she came to her senses and realized what she had said, she was stunned.
Kicked over a Hydra? Is that possible?
Even RO635, who had just witnessed the scene, couldn't help but wonder if there was something wrong with her neural record.
She had seen it clearly just now. G11's kick didn't just knock over the Hydra; she even pierced through the Hydra's armor plate and opened a big hole in its large body. What on earth was that?
Thinking of this, RO635 couldn't help but look at the three UMPs who were still sitting on the gunship. She didn't know if the three of them had the same or similar strength as G11.
M4 was a little shocked when she heard this but still felt that it was natural. After all, the dolls on Renault's side were estimated to be as strong as tanks, and it was not uncommon to kick over a Hydra with one kick.
M16 felt the same. Just kidding, she had a fight with HK416 not long ago. She knew exactly how heavy and strong that guy's body was.
Just when RO635 began to doubt things, HK416, who was following closely behind G11, widened her eyes, she couldn't believe that the kick just now was actually G11's doing!
You know, G11 at home gave the impression of being a mascot who stayed still all day and had low combat power. As a result, who would have thought that this guy would completely join the fighting faction as soon as she was released today, and she didn't even use a gun!
Good guy, a flying kick directly scrapped a Hydra. There are only dozens of Hydras in total. Although there are not a few, these things are still in a state of confusion, constantly trying to locate the gunship in the air. It's just like stretching the neck under their guns...
Hydras don't have necks, but the torso on their bodies can be regarded as necks, right?
G11, who just kicked a Hydra with her foot, suddenly frowned, her whole face suddenly twisted in pain, and there were tears in her eyes.
She looked down at the leg she had just used to kick the Hydra.
Well, the sole of the shoe was completely rotten. The shoes HK416 had sold her before were completely without soles, and the bionic skin on the surface of the foot was also scratched and torn. The pain feedback module on G11's body was constantly sending her pain signals.
"It hurts..."
Snap!
"Now you know it hurts! What were you thinking just now! Why are you playing flying kicks for no reason!?" HK416 slapped G11 on the head in anger. This guy seemed more calm in the training device, but who would have thought that it was all an illusion...
"Hiss, but just turn off the pain feedback system." Seeing this, G11 turned off the pain simulation system and cut off the damaged parts of the circulating fluid lines to prevent fluid loss and overheating inside the body. G11, who seemed to be crying, instantly returned to her determined look when she had just jumped off the gunship.
Seeing this transformation, HK416 rolled her eyes speechlessly. Fortunately, this guy would only be like this during battles; otherwise, she would become schizophrenic if she switched back and forth mental states all day long.
It's a long story, but in fact, it happened in just a few sentences. G11 rushed towards a Hydra again. This time, she didn't use the weapon in her hand but stood directly on the Hydra's head. She stretched out her hand and tore off a piece of the Hydra's armor plate, exposing the control panel and equipment hidden below. G11 directly pulled out a data cable from herself and connected to the Hydra without hesitation.
"What are you doing?" HK416 looked at G11's actions and raised her hand, using armor-piercing bullets to penetrate the weak part of a Hydra beside her.
"Invading the control system of this Hydra. Isn't it a waste not to get this thing?" G11 said while her mind was already completing the action.
The Hydra, which was hesitating between getting rid of the foreign object on itself and aiming at the gunship, suddenly calmed down.
"Oh! G11! How did you do it? Teach me!" SOP2, who ran over, saw G11 controlling the Hydra so easily and immediately came over curiously and shouted.
"Hey! This is what I learned from Uncle Swan. I will teach you when I go back later!"
To be exact, she stole it. After all, the method was fiddled with in front of her. Even if she didn't understand the principle after watching it several times, she could remember how to do it.
G11 said, while raising her hand and giving SOP2 a thumbs up.
"Okay! It's settled! The Cyclops over there will be handled by me and AR15!" SOP2 also waved her arms excitedly, pulled up AR15, and rushed towards the approaching Cyclops.
"Hey! Slow down! Can you be a little more organized!?" AR15 staggered and shouted to SOP2.
"How we be more organized? These Cyclops are just fodders! Haha!" SOP2 said, raising the weapon in her hand and firing a grenade at the Cyclops.
Boom!
The grenade exploded among the Cyclops, as if giving a clear signal. Those Cyclops who were not affected by the gunship veering in the air raised their guns, aimed at SOP2 and AR15, and pulled the trigger.
Da da da da!
The dense bullets, like raindrops, directly broke the tree where AR15 and SOP2 were originally located!
AR15, who jumped away in time, rolled her eyes in anger. Now, she had no choice but to fight these Cyclops head-on. She had a chance to bypass the front and catch them off guard from the side or back.
"Ahahaha!" But SOP2 obviously didn't think so, as she had already rushed straight towards the Cyclops with her weapon in hand!
Chapter 73: Farewell
"Commander, we are about to land."
"Okay, be safe. I will call M4 to ask about their situation."
After Gentiane hung up the phone, Makarov looked at the ordinary mobile phone in her hand and was genuinely confused.
This phone clearly showed no signal, yet it could directly call her commander's number... It was really strange.
"What's wrong?" Sten MK2 saw the strange expression on Makarov's face and asked curiously. While speaking, she looked out through the porthole. Unfortunately, she wasn't equipped with night vision goggles, and the visibility outside was really limited.
"Nothing, just wondering where the commander got that phone from. She seems to treasure it very much."
"Huh? That phone? It seems Agent Helian also has an identical one." Hearing this, Type 92 tilted her head and spoke after thinking for a while.
"Agent Helian also has one? Is it standard equipment distributed by Griffin?" AAT-52 immediately asked curiously.
"How should I know?" Makarov sighed helplessly.
"Eh? But if it's just a mobile phone, this kind of convenient equipment might be distributed to us, right?" AAT-52 asked again.
"So... don't ask about this kind of thing..." Makarov was talking when she suddenly felt the transport plane under her feet begin to tilt, as if it had deviated from its original direction.
"What's going on!? Why did it suddenly change direction?" Makarov, who noticed something was wrong, immediately turned around and asked the doll in the driver's seat.
"We just received a communication. The airport is not safe now, so we need to wait two minutes before landing." The doll immediately responded.
"Ah? Communication? This area is full of interference now, how can we receive communication? Is the communication you just received from Griffin?"
Upon hearing this, the pilot immediately pursed her lips in grievance, "Of course it is. If it wasn't Griffin's communication, why would I suddenly change direction?"
Boom!
Just as Makarov was about to ask the pilot to play the recording, a faint explosion suddenly came from outside the transport plane.
"Look! There is a fire over there! That should be the airport we are heading to, right?" Sten MK2 suddenly shouted loudly to the people in the cabin.
All of a sudden, the four people in the cabin crowded to the window and looked at the airport with constant fire in the distance.
"Hey, Tomato, you have good eyesight, what are those things exploding?" Although this distance was beyond AAT-52's range, it was still no problem to just see what was exploding.
"I'm not a tomato! And how can I see clearly? Who knows what those crab-like things are!" AAT-52 shouted unwillingly.
"You've seen it clearly! It's probably either the Sangvis Ferri Manticores or the military's Hydra. But it seems that those big guys are being blown up one after another. Could it be the AR team? Isn't the AR team a bit too strong?"
...
"Tsk! Here we go again! Why do I have to only watch every time?" HK416 looked at G11, who was controlling the Hydra to tame the other Hydras one by one, and was so angry that she wanted to take out a bottle of wine and get drunk.
"Not every time. Didn't you go on a mission with the commander before?"
G11 was referring to the time when she brought back a group of children.
Didn't HK416 also take action at that time?
"That time doesn't count!"
Although it was a little troublesome commission, it was still a long way from a real battle in HK416's mind.
"This is the last one! Hey! These military armored units are not that difficult to deal with after all." G11 patted the armor plate of the Hydra under her lightly and jumped down from it.
"That's because Renault has already destroyed the command center of these automatons. Now these guys are just autonomous units, not dolls. How difficult can it be?" Holding the weapon in her hand, HK416 looked up at the gunship that was landing not far away.
AR15 and SOP2 also walked back at this time. Except for a little damage to their clothes, they didn't look injured.
As the gunship landed, the Griffin transport plane that had been hovering not far from the airport also drove over and landed directly on the runway not far from the gunship.
After RO635 got off the gunship, she kept looking at G11, but every time G11 looked at her, RO would immediately turn her head and pretend to be "I'm not looking!", but she didn't realize that her actions were completely seen by M16 and M4.
"What are you doing here, twisting your head back and forth?" Until Makarov came to RO635, RO didn't notice her coming, which made Makarov speechless.
She always felt that her captain seemed to have become stupid.
M16 also held her forehead speechlessly.
Where did the smart and capable RO635 go? Why does she look like an absent-minded little girl now?
"Eh? Eh!? Makarov! Type 92! Sten MK2! And tomatoes! Why are you here!?" RO finally came to her senses after hearing the voice and was startled by the dolls in front of her as soon as she turned around.
She didn't expect to see these guys so soon! She thought she wouldn't see them for a long time.
"To put it briefly, we are now working under Commander Gentiane. We'll talk about the details after we get back. It looks... not very safe here?" Makarov looked at the destroyed Hydra and Hind wreckage in the distance and said with some concern.
"Don't worry about safety. After all, all the military dolls in this area have been cleared out, unless those guys can get out of the ground directly." UMP45 said with her hands spread out.
She could say with certainty that now in this area, except for the Hydras left by G11, there were no units from any other forces, not even a single Dinergate.
"Well, thank Commander Renault and everyone for their assistance. We'll leave first. AR15, SOP2, you must pay attention to safety here with Commander Renault." Seeing M1887 quietly get into the cabin of the transport plane, M4 also turned around and said to UMP45.
"Well, if you want to say thank you, you should say it to SOP2. If it weren't for her, Renault, that money-grubbing guy, wouldn't give in so easily." UMP45 waved her hand.
"M4! Remember to call me and AR15 when you get back!" SOP2 said and rushed up and lifted M4 up again.
"Okay, SOP2." Patting SOP2's shoulder, AR15 turned her head and nodded to M4 and M16.
Chapter 74 What are you thinking about!
"Let's go, they're quite straightforward, come on up, we should go back too." Looking at the Griffin transport taking off, UMP45 shrugged and called out to HK416.
"Wait, wait! You two! What do you want to do by bringing this Hydra back? You don't want to bring a big guy back again!?"
UMP40, who heard UMP45's words and was about to turn around and board the plane, caught a glimpse of G11 and SOP2, who were actually directing the Hydra to approach the hatch at the rear of the gunship.
That scene was exactly the same as when they stuffed the Manticore into the cabin!
"Eh? Is it not possible? Isn't there a Manticore on the ship?" SOP2 said this and glanced at UMP9.
"Isn't one enough? These huge guys are not easy to move on the ship. The Manticore blocked the door every day. It would hit a bump when the door was opened! I had to crawl under that guy to go eat!"
"Hey, but don't the two cats like it very much?" UMP9 put her hands on UMP40's shoulders and winked at SOP2 and G11 while UMP40 couldn't see.
"What do you mean by like it? I don't want a cat climbing frame that can move by itself to block the door of the room every day!"
"Hey, what do you mean by blocking the door? Hasn't the little scorpion been moved to the warehouse next door? What's there to be anxious about? Keep calm! Keep calm!"
UMP9 dragged UMP40 into the cabin and waved to the two of them, indicating that they should move quickly.
It would be best to get this thing into the cabin before UMP40 could come up with a new topic. In this way, UMP40 would have no chance to object even if she wanted to.
"Hurry up! 416! Come and help!" G11 controlled the Hydra to tighten its four legs and called HK416 to help push the big guy in.
"AR15! Hurry up! Hurry up!"
"Really, when choosing local specialties, can't you pick something that is easy to take away?"
Although complaining, AR15 still helped push it. With the four people working together, the Hydra, which was much lighter than the Manticore, was easily pushed into the cabin.
"Okay, okay, hurry up, go back quickly, otherwise it will be too late to go back, and be careful not to be ordered by M1 Garand and G36 to do those troublesome things." UMP45 said, and directly closed the cabin door, stopping SOP2 who wanted to run out to pick up scraps.
"Hey! I want to bring back some parts of Hydra and Cyclops!"
"Okay! Stop it! There must be a lot of military units on Renault's side, and you can pick up as many as you want!" AR15 rolled her eyes after pushing SOP2 back to the chair.
Before they set out, they saw that there were a lot of military figures in the area where the Sangvis and the military were fighting, or in the location of the military's armored train. Although there were no more Hinds, there were a lot of Cyclops, and Hydra could also be found on the battlefield, so there was plenty of time for SOP2 to have fun picking up scraps.
...
"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts, can Angie provide more reliable tasks next time?" AK12 used the parts she picked up to correct her broken leg bone and looked up at the signal tower that had been blown up more than halfway.
This signal tower had just been destroyed by the military's Hydra, and there was a big hole in the main structure of the tower, and most of the equipment inside had been damaged in the attack just now.
"That's obviously impossible. You should use your brain to think about why this area is still in a state of interference after this signal tower has been scrapped." RPK16 raised her hand and pointed at the communicator on her body.
She had tried to contact Angie as early as the Hydra blew up the signal tower, but unfortunately, the interference was the same as before.
"Huh? How is it possible? It should be interference from the military, right?"
"How is it possible? I know from the noise in the distance that Renault has already taken action against the military. I don't think the military's command vehicle can remain intact in his hands." RPK16 spread her hands and walked towards the wreckage of the main building of the Sangvis Base.
"The current interference signal is exactly the same as the previous Sangvis interference." AN94 also reminded them at this time.
"Uh? No way? Can you determine the location where the interference signal is generated?" AK12 stood up and stomped her feet. She was a little discouraged, but she also walked towards the ruins.
The goal of the mission is to find those key documents from the Sangvis base. Although the Sangvis base has been destroyed, they hope that some useful things can be found in the wreckage inside...
AK15 has already stood on the ruins and moved the concrete fragments away. "Alas, it seems to be another big project. If possible, I really hope to bring an excavator next time."
...
"Wuhu! Move it away! There are still some here! Move them too!"
Nagant Revolver stood on the armored train, directing the Rippers at home to carry the equipment and parts removed from the armored train, transporting them to the cargo hold of the spacecraft like worker ants.
"Hey, commander, they are so blatant, don't you care?" MDR stretched out her hand to poke Renault's waist and pointed at the guys who were jumping up and down to dismantle the armored train.
"Throw away the things in your hand before you say that."
MDR, who was next to Renault, was holding a communication device removed from the command vehicle. It looked like she was going to make something with that thing.
"Hey, isn't this ready-made? Otherwise, it would be very expensive to buy it on the black market!"
"When did you use your own money to purchase parts? Don't tell me that the unknown material purchase costs on the bill that M1 Garand gave me were all spent by the Rippers."
"No, they must have miscalculated! It's none of my business!" Upon hearing this, MDR immediately ran away.
Architect not far away saw Renault standing there, looking at his phone and smoking, and he didn't seem to have any intention of retreating quickly. She poked Executioner x2 who was drinking next to her with some confusion.
"Ah hey! Shouldn't we retreat as soon as possible at this time? Why do the others all look like they are playing!"
I want to go too! I want someone to help me fix my leg! ...No, no, no! Now is not the time to think about these things!
We just had a fight with the military, why can you stay here so leisurely! Aren't you afraid that the military will come to you...
Even if the military doesn't come to you! The mastermind will come to you! It's good to be a little nervous you know!
"How can it be? Aren't they all working? How can they look like they are playing?"
The two Executioners were drunk and looked at the armored train with hazy eyes and responded.
"Ahhh! Damn it! Why do I always feel like I'm on a pirate ship!"
Looking at these two drunken Executioners, Architect wanted to tear these two guys' head apart to see what they were thinking!
Chapter 75: Scream
"Huh! We're finally home! Get this guy out of the way" UMP40 said as she jumped out of the gunship. "I'm going to replenish my cat energy now!"
"Hey! What cat energy! Don't leave all the maintenance work to me alone!"
Seeing UMP40 running away, UMP45 knew what was going on in her mind! She was clearly trying to slack off!
Hearing what UMP45 said, UMP9 also quietly mixed into the team pushing Hydra, and was about to sneak away with G11 and the others when she was grabbed by the back of her neck.
"Don't even think about running away! They don't know how to maintain the equipment, and you want to run away too?"
"Hey... Sister 45, why don't you call a few Rippers to help later..."
"How is that possible! Look around now, where are the Rippers?" They were all called away! Where can the find help?"
"Uh, okay... Hey! Hey! You guys! Don't leave in a hurry! SOP2! G11! Stay and help!" UMP9 responded pitifully, and was immediately furious when she saw SOP2 and the others run away after pushing the Hydra out.
Understandably, UMP45 still held her neck tightly, and she couldn't run away at all!
Just when UMP45 and the others were working and slacking off, Renault also noticed their return and immediately raised his hand to wave to Nagant Revolver.
"It's almost done, it's time to go."
"Understood!"
Hearing Renault's voice, the few dolls who were still excited calmed down immediately, threw down the wreckage of the military dolls after responding, and ran towards the cargo door with their own "trophies."
"Almost done, let's go back to the ship and continue drinking!" The two Executioners held the bottles in their hands and staggered back to the spaceship.
Architect was relieved at this time.
These guys finally... No wonder they didn't leave just now. Were they waiting for the gunship driven by UMP45 to come back?
"Hey! Wait! Wait! Renault! I still have a group of Sangvis Ferri dolls waiting in the open space over there!"
"Got it, I'll go pick them up in a while."
Renault still had a good impression of these Sangvis Ferri dolls who could work without complaining about being tired or slacking off. Of course, he wouldn't forget them.
"Let's go, let's go back, but I'm already looking forward to it now," Intruder also stood up, staggered a few books she found from the command vehicle, and turned back to speak to Architect.
"What are you looking forward to?"
Looking at the expression on the Intruder's face that seemed malicious and teasing, Gager frowned immediately.
"Of course, I'm looking forward to what Renault will put Architect in this time. This is a routine."
"Routine? What routine?"
Architect, who was carried by Gager, faced the Intruder's mysterious look, and her heart suddenly skipped a beat..
Could it be that Renault has some unknown hobbies she doesn't know about?
Could it be... Could it be that the guy would do something unscrupulous to a humanoid doll!?
No, no way? How could this be possible? I haven't heard Renault's doll talk about such things before?!
"Hehe, don't guess blindly, you'll know soon." The Intruder said this, but her eyes stayed on the part of Architect's missing calf.
Before Architect and Gager figured out what this meant, Intruder had already trotted back to the cargo hold.
"What! Can't you explain it more clearly? Hey, Scarecrow, what exactly did she mean by what she said just now? You should know more about Renault, right?" Architect said, turning her head to ask the Sangvis Ferri Scarecrow beside her.
"I'm not sure, but it should be related to your body. I remember that G36 and the others seemed to have been put into Dinergates by Renault."
"Huh? Ah hey! What a horror joke! dolls scaring dolls will scare dolls to the point of losing their minds!"
A group of dolls outside the spaceship quickly returned to the spaceship with their things in hand, leaving behind only a messy scene: a completely dismantled armored train, a command vehicle with only the chassis left, and a large area of military doll wreckage with missing arms and legs.
Wz.29 also followed Renault's instructions and drove the spaceship back to the previous open space. After picking up those Sangvis Ferri dolls, it flew high again and started cruise mode.
For Renault's spaceship, there is no place safer than high altitude. At high altitude, even if it is discovered by the military, there is no need to worry about those guys causing trouble. The spacecraft that cannot be locked-on is an unselectable target in the game for the military's fighters and anti-aircraft firepower, the kind without a health bar.
After this, there are many more Sangvis Ferri Dolls on the spacecraft. Not to mention the double work model Scarecrow, the dozens of Sangvis Ferri Dolls that are still intact cannot be said to be without any gains.
However, the ones who really have gained this time should be Nagant Revolver and the others, after all, there are a large number of toys...
SOP2 was quite happy. After copying a technical document on how to control Hydra and Manticore from G11, she ran directly to the pile of parts in the cargo hold to pick and choose.
Most of these things in the cargo hold were brought back by the Rippers. Anyway, as long as they looked useful, they were all brought back by the Rippers. She just doesn't know who told the Rippers to move these things.
Anyway, these parts have piled up into a small mountain in the cargo hold. If you work hard to piece them together, you could probably put together dozens of military droids. Unfortunately, Renault didn't like the military dolls at all. Even if they were put together, they would be useless.
For him, military dolls without self-consciousness were worse than RBF, a lazy guy. They couldn't work on their own initiative...
"Okay, those who are injured, come to the workshop with me first. If you are fine, let Executioner or Hunter take you around the ship," Renault said, taking Architect from the Gager.
Architect with one leg didn't need to change her body for the time being, not to mention that he didn't have a suitable body at hand, so he can only keep this guy in this state.
"Huh? Why not Scarecrow?" Looking at Scarecrow left behind, Architect was a little surprised. Obviously, Scarecrow didn't have any injuries.
"Because she is more diligent than you and can help," Renault said, pulling a Prowler's chassis from the side.
"Hey! No! What are you doing with this thing? Wait! Wait! No! Don't put this thing on me!?"
Architect's scream suddenly rang out from the workshop.
The few figures who had just walked out of the workshop turned their heads back in surprise, wondering what had happened to make Architect scream like this.
