Escorted by two light pickup trucks, Earl Ruskin, who was riding a motorcycle with his servant, drove back out of the city with a pale face.
With his arm resting on the car window, the Guards Captain sitting in the passenger seat of the pickup truck waved his hand, motioning for the driver to speed up and approach, and said with a smile to Earl Ruskin outside the car window.
"If you need help, remember to shout louder. We are not that stingy and will come to help you." "I don't need your help! Just stay away from me. Thank God!"
Glancing at the machine gun on the back of the pickup truck, Ruskin suddenly twitched his brows, turned his face to the roaring wind and roared, "Can you put that thing away! We are not going to fight...
Do you want to kill me?
What if those friends who came from afar misunderstood me?
The guard captain and the pilot exchanged glances with strange expressions, not quite understanding what he meant, but in the end they accepted this strange request.
He stretched his hand out of the window and patted the roof of the car. "Put away the machine gun first."
"Yes!" After hearing the captain's order, the machine gunner standing behind the pickup truck skillfully removed the 10mm heavy machine gun stuck on the bracket.
The same goes for another pickup truck.
At the same time, the two pickup trucks slowed down and kept a distance from Earl Ruskin, who was riding a motorcycle in front. Looking at the pickup trucks pulling away, Ruskin finally breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed a little.
.
Although he complained about the order of the Lord of Thain City, and although he knew that the pack of jackals would eat people without spitting out their bones, he still had a trace of fantasy in his heart.
What if there is any misunderstanding between the two parties?
If he could resolve the misunderstanding beautifully and turn the cannon into bread, he would undoubtedly become the hero of the mercenary fortress and even the hero who saved the kingdom.
The nobles of the mercenary fortress have always had a dream, that is, like Silver Moon City in the south, they can obtain the power of republican autonomy and get rid of the shackles of feudal contracts.
The mercenary family loyal to the royal family is the biggest obstacle.
If he can reach a friendly agreement with the legion through this, perhaps his family's long-cherished wish will be realized! This is of course full of risks. But it may not be an opportunity.
"Drive faster!" Count Petra regained his courage and regained his high-spirited expression. He looked at the dashboard of the motorcycle and urged the servant on the motorcycle, "Did you not eat? Or did you not fill up the motorcycle?"
Oil? Why is it only forty yards!"
"Sir... the road conditions here only allow you to drive up to forty yards. If we go any faster, we will be flying." The servant said in a dumbfounded voice.
"Useless stuff."
Hou Junlin cursed and knew it was useless to urge her, so she stopped talking.
A convoy of two Currans and a motorcycle quickly approached the area where Lost Valley was reached.
Crossing the stacked sand dunes and looking at the nearby valley looming in the yellow sand, Petra felt her heartbeat speeding up.
"Front! It's the front!" he shouted at the top of his voice.
The two Coran cars behind him came closer. The guard captain stuck his head out of the window and shouted at him, "Do you want us to follow?"
"No! You guys wait for me here! I'll be back soon!" Petra dropped these words and urged the servant to increase their power and continue moving forward.
Although the servant's shoulders trembled at the thought of the legion's camp ahead, he did not dare to obey the count's order, so he could only twist the accelerator.
The dust kicked up by the tires quickly attracted the attention of the other party. After a while, two three-wheeled motorcycles drove over from nearby.
Seeing the legion's flag, Petra's face was overjoyed, and just as she was about to wave and shout, two gunshots were fired from the opposite side. The bullets landed on the sand next to her, scaring the servant who was driving the motorcycle and hurriedly
He turned a corner, turned around and fled towards the way he came.
Petra was also startled. She didn't expect that the other side would shoot without saying hello. She quickly shouted behind her, "Don't shoot! I am Count Petra from the mercenary fortress! There may be a possibility between us."
Is there any misunderstanding? Why don't we sit down and talk?
However, the only response he received was the sound of gunshots.
Those people didn't even say hello, they opened fire when they saw someone. After approaching a distance of about a hundred meters, the machine gunner sitting in the passenger seat of the three-wheeled motorcycle pulled the trigger and opened fire. "Tu tu tu tu -
丶,
Thick tongues of fire spurted out, and the bullets whizzed across the sand dunes. Although they were not very accurate, they could not handle the large number. The severe pain in her legs made Petra tremble all over, and she almost fainted, and she lay down
On the servant's back. "Sir? Are you okay_
Looking at her bleeding left leg, Petra spat out broken words in a trembling voice. "Hurry...run away!'"
The off-road performance of three-wheeled motorcycles is still worse than that of two-wheeled motorcycles. Fortunately, the guard captain who came with him heard the gunshots and brought people over in time to support him.
The machine gun was remounted on its fixed bracket.
The two Currans stopped on the nearest sand dune. The machine gunner untiedly loaded the gun bolt and unleashed heavy machine gun fire on the three-wheeled motorcycle crossing the dune.
Strings of dust splashed up on the desert, and the three-wheeled motorcycle rushing in front was instantly smashed into a sieve.
The driver died on the spot. The two crew members jumped out of the car and used the motorcycle as a cover to fire back at the Curran car on the sand dunes with rifles. However, they could not withstand the fierce firepower of the heavy machine gun and soon followed in the footsteps of the driver in front.
.
The other three-wheeled motorcycle escaped by chance and returned to the reverse slope of the dune behind it.
While the pursuers were suppressed by fire, Count Petra's servant rode a motorcycle, carrying his master, and fled toward the two Currans as if he was dying.
The master lying on his back had lost his voice. Just now
His master seemed to have received another shot in the back.
A signal flare was raised on the reverse slope of the desert. The guard captain sitting in the passenger seat of Curran's car frowned, stretched his right fist out of the window and waved back.
"Advance!"
Awesome campsite.
Seeing the signal flares rising into the sky and listening to the rattling of gunfire in the distance, General Ruskin, who was standing on the airport runway, frowned. He picked up his binoculars and glanced in the west direction, but couldn't see anything.
It was too far away here. He asked the officer standing aside, "What's going on over there."
The officer was obviously not vague about the situation, but he responded quickly and immediately replied. "That's the defense area that Centurion West is responsible for. His people should be patrolling that area today." General Ruskin put down his hands.
He has a telescope." Call him over. "Yes!" The officer turned and left.
Not long after, a powerful man came over, stood upright and gave a military salute.
"Report! There are two Curran cars and a motorcycle to the west, probably a caravan from the oasis in the distance. They killed three of our guards... I have sent people to chase them.'
When he heard that only a few of his subordinates had died, General Hou Junlin stopped asking any more questions. In the past two days, a blind businessman has been walking this way, "Hongshang, please leave it alone, and tell your people not to pursue too far, and pay attention to the defense zone."
Patrol, the plane will be coming soon. ""Yes!" West stood at attention and gave a military salute, turned around and trotted away. Watching him leave, General Ruskin frowned slightly. I don't know why·
A strong uneasiness always creeps into his heart from time to time.
However, this unfounded emotion soon disappeared as a silvery shadow appeared nearby. The temporary tower next to the runway received a landing request.
After the silver plane, which was more than ten meters long and had a wingspan of several dozen meters, approached the runway, it quickly lowered its landing gear and landed on the runway with billowing dust.
The plane stopped on the side of the runway, the ramp was lowered, and the ground staff quickly drove forklifts and fuel trucks to surround it. Of course, it is impossible for such a precious jet aircraft to be handed over to Hu Congjun to drive, and the pilots are all noble Weyland
Special person. The two pilots came down the gangway and walked in front of General Hou Junlin and performed a military salute. One of them raised his head and chest and said. "Hou Jun, captain of the 11th Army Aviation Squadron of the 10,000th Army and H55 main pilot, greets you.
Report!" General Ruskin raised his hand in return of a military salute, looked at the plane next to him, and couldn't help but beam with joy. H55 "Hurricane" bomber!
Twin jet engines, the fuselage is made of special alloy steel, and the ultimate speed can reach Mach 2!
Although the Army Command positions it as a tactical bomber to support frontline troops, it can also perform strategic bombing missions due to its high-strength fuselage armor and durability, as well as the weak breakthrough performance brought by its high-power engine.
Known as the flying tank! Or the butcher’s scalpel!
Immediately following the landing of the Hurricane bomber, there was also a wingman responsible for escorting, or attracting firepower - an H-44 "Saber" fighter jet.
Compared with the "Hurricane", it is undoubtedly much smaller in size. Not only does it have a single jet engine, but the fuselage is also made of lighter titanium alloy.
Although this fighter is positioned to compete for air supremacy and solve high-threat targets that propeller aircraft cannot deal with, because this equipment was designed by a research institute under the Army Command, its ground support capabilities are also not weak.
The 20mm cannon mounted on the nose has an astonishing two thousand rounds of ammunition, and two expensive TV bombs are mounted under the wings.
As for why they don’t use air-to-air bombs? Because Luoxia Province doesn’t even have propeller aircraft.
If it had been known that there was an alliance in the River Valley Province, and if it had been known later that the Pioneer was planning to go to the desert to find Vault 0, the Legion might have been prepared to send some from the west.
It's a pity that there is no if.
General Ruskin stretched out his right hand, shook hands with the two tall pilots, and said with joy. "The stage is ready for you! Let those bugs see what hell is on earth!" Sisi grinned.
Smiling, he took the unfortunate general's right hand and shook it. "That's what I'm here to do."
Although Griffin did not delay telling Ruskin the full details of the plan, he was still a colleague who had cooperated with him for so many years. Ruskin knew what the sly skunk was planning to do when he looked at the cunning skunk.
There is no doubt that the bomb on the bomber is a nuclear bomb - a three-phase bomb with a yield of one million tons!
At this time, a few sporadic gunshots were heard nearby, and Sisi, who was holding hands with General Ruskin, subconsciously turned back and glanced in the west direction.
"What's going on?" General Ruskin said with a smile.
"They are probably the wastelanders who have already done it. This place is close to Oasis No. 4, don't worry about them..., those cowards don't dare to interfere with our affairs. By the way, before I came here, I got the smell from Griffin..."
The old guy got some bottles of red wine, do you want to try them?
Si waved his hands quickly and declined with a smile.
"No... there is still a mission in the evening, let's wait until we get back to drink the wine of failure!" The best time for the bombing was when the Heart of Steel left the River Valley Province.
However, this does not mean that the mission is risk-free.
There is also an old survivor force in the southern part of the River Valley province, called Boulder City, which I heard is also part of the alliance. There are a lot of equipment left by the post-war reconstruction committee deployed there. The combat effectiveness is a question mark. It is hard to say whether it will be correct." Hurricane
"Bombers pose a threat.
This was the only nuclear bomb that had been transported from tens of thousands of kilometers away. In order to ensure nothing went wrong, they planned to wait until dark and carry out the bombing mission under the cover of darkness.
Nuclear strikes are different from tactical bombings. They do not require too precise coordinates or visual observation of the ground. You only need to fly to the approximate location, press the switch, and then step on the accelerator to the bottom.
When he heard that the mission was to be carried out in the evening, Ruskin was overjoyed and laughed knowingly. "Then I'll wait for your good news!" -
He couldn't help but feel happy when he thought that the bugs who climbed onto his airship would soon be burned to ashes under the shock wave of the nuclear explosion. It was a pity.
I can't see their trembling faces before the end of the world.
the other side.
Hou Junlin Fortress, the gate of the heavily guarded prison.
Accompanied by several guards, a muscular and gray-faced man passed through the tall stone door and was let out. "Remember to watch your mouth, you won't be so lucky next time."
Giving the big man a warning look, the guard captain with a beard waved his hand and walked in with his subordinates:
The door slammed shut.
When the footsteps were no longer heard, the man spat on the ground and turned around with a curse. And just as he turned around, he saw two people and a bear standing at the intersection not far away.
, the expression on his face suddenly became awkward.
So firm.
After rubbing the back of his head, he finally stepped forward, greeted his employers, and muttered, "Sorry, boss, things went wrong..." "It's okay."
Looking at his gray face, Pica couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and looked at the prison behind him, "They beat you up?"
The man said embarrassedly. "..." It was because of what happened before. Pika's expression was slightly disappointed.
It's a pity that the bruises were not caused while in custody, otherwise I could have gotten a compensation from the city lord. However, it doesn't matter if I don't have it. A contented person will live longer. Nodding to express understanding, Pika continued, "There will be more in the future.
What are your plans?" the man said with a wry smile.
"I plan to go to Silver Moon City in the south to try my luck... I probably won't be able to stay here."
After he was sent in, several brothers from the mercenary group quickly revealed his identity as the main culprit. This brother definitely had no choice but to do anything.
In fact, they weren't even brothers at first.
Everyone just joins together to make money and live together. There are only six or seven people in the mercenary group. It is difficult to get together, so they will break up if they want to.
Pika nodded, not surprised by this, and continued.
"If you have nowhere to go, just work with Old Boomer. The White Bear Knights' station needs security... Well, if you are interested, go there and become the security captain."
The mercenary city lord plans to designate a base for the White Bear Knights to help them more conveniently carry out their charitable deeds of rescuing refugees. To be honest, there is a lot of misunderstanding in this. For example, she actually wants to take advantage of this rare opportunity to help everyone.
Let's fish it out
But if you say it out loud, it will be too late to take it back.
"They came here to rescue those poor people under the guidance of the gods" - this was what she said herself. The moment she heard this, the man was stunned and looked at the young lady in front of him with an expression of disbelief.
, even broke his voice with excitement.
"...You still want me?"
Looking at the man who took a step forward, Pika took a step back in disgust and glanced at this guy. "Don't say such strange things, or I will change my mind." "No, no, I didn't disrespect you.
the meaning of!"
The job opportunity he received almost slipped away because of his gossip. Boss McClun hurriedly explained, his voice becoming incoherent.
"I just... don't quite understand. I obviously messed up what you told me -
"Everyone has a first time, and everyone goes from being new to becoming more capable," Pica interrupted him, looking at the grateful guy, he continued, "Of course, you have already used up one opportunity. If you next
I screwed up again -
"Just kill me! No, you don't need to do anything, I will bury myself in front of you!"
The mercenary leader looked loyal and said in a sincere and respectful tone, "You may not remember my name anymore, my name is Jodi! It's an honor to continue to serve you."
Regardless of whether the loyal expression was fake or genuine, Pica nodded with satisfaction.
The regional reputation of the White Bear Knights will probably reach its peak after this war. In fact, they have already gained the trust of the local city lord.
However, they cannot stay here forever to manage the fixed assets that cannot be taken away. They have agreed to travel to more distant places.
Therefore, the best option is to find a reliable local person to help you manage it.
For example, Old Boomer is a good choice. She lies, is capable, has devout beliefs, and owes them her life. But even so, she is still unwilling to use interests to test human nature and leave everything in the hands of one person.
.It would be better for money and guns to be managed by two different people.
Afterwards, she will hire an NPC from the Merchant Guild in Dawn City to take care of the accounts, so that she can keep abreast of the situation here at any time.
Since this game claims to be 100% real, she naturally has to do her best to make it foolproof. When she heard McClun's name, Tails suddenly said, "Oh! Jody! Have you considered changing your name?" McClun said immediately, "Please."
Please give me your name, Miss!"
Just waiting for these words, Taili gave a thumbs up with shining eyes. "From now on, you will be called Qiao Qiao!" McClun looked confused, but still nodded. "Okay, miss... from now on, I will call you Qiao Qiao."
Joe." Rourou: Pica said with a subtle expression.
"Awei's naming skills are as good as those of the managers." Taiwei looked at Pika in surprise.
"Eh?! Is my name so awesome?" Hou Jun raised his hand. "Oh! It's awesome!" Rourou urged, dumbfounded.
"In short, the matter is done. Let's go back quickly. It's too pitiful for Sesame paste to be left there alone. No matter whether the city lord and those nobles are completely convinced of Pica's lies, at least the old man in the white robe has been deceived.
Lame.
I heard that he plans to write a letter to the royal capital and tell the respected high priest and His Majesty the King that the Silver Moon Goddess has performed a miracle to protect her people! Is there anything more exciting than this?
This is indeed an exciting thing for the believers of the Silver Moon Sect, but not necessarily for them. She always has a bad feeling. Trouble is still to come·
At the same time, Count Petra, who was on an envoy to the Lost Valley, was carried back by the captain of the personal guard of the Lord of Thane.
Petra was shot in the leg and back respectively. Petra was lying on the stretcher and was dying. Excessive blood loss made his face even paler.
The castle lord's court.
The nobles gathered here were silent. Even the one who usually had the loudest voice was convinced by this tragic scene that he couldn't bear to look at.
Sitting on the stone chair, Thain admired the expressions on the faces of these cowards with satisfaction, and could not help but raise a cold smile at the corner of his mouth.
Qianxian. This is the fate of cowards.
Petra's lips trembled, and she forced out a frightened and angry voice.
"Legion... they don't intend to talk to us at all! Those barbarians! No, they are beasts! There is no way to communicate with them using the language of civilized people!" He stood up from the stone chair.
Thain walked to the bottom of the steps, glanced at Petra lying on the stretcher, and said calmly, "You have to thank that lady for giving you a chance to come back alive."
If he was riding a horse, he would have no chance of escaping.
Petra's face was full of humiliation. She turned her face to look at the woman standing in the corner of the crowd and almost squeezed out those words through her teeth.
"Thanks·
Pica shrugged and said nothing, and the expression on his face remained unchanged.
In fact, she just doesn't want to waste time on such an insignificant NPC. His life and death will obviously not have any impact on the subsequent game plot.
But if you ride there, it will probably take a lot of time, and it will probably be two or three days before Hou Junlin Fortress discovers his body.
"What did you see there?" Sion looked at his personal guard captain.
The reason why this person was sent out of the city with Count Petra was not so much to monitor whether the idiot was doing his job properly, but rather to find out what was going on in the Lost Valley.
As early as when Petra left the city, he had already ordered the troops in the fortress to prepare. The guard captain gave a military salute.
"The garrison size is about 10,000 troops, and the construction on the north side of the camp has been suspended and is probably completed. Before leaving there, I noticed a plane flying from the northwest, and it seemed to be landing there.
"Plane?" Thain frowned. A commotion immediately spread among the surrounding crowd.
Fear, anxiety and anger were written all over Zhang Zhang's face. Even people who had previously expressed belief in the prophecy now showed expressions of surprise.
"Airplane...are they building an airstrip there?" "Those people are really planning to attack the mercenary fortress!" "Has the Lion Kingdom fallen?"
"By the Spirit of the Sand Sea... those greedy barbarians really can't get enough to feed!" "We shouldn't have waited so long! We should have taken action long ago!"
Listening to the indignant conversations of the people around them, everyone in the White Bear Knights also had expressions of surprise on their faces. Pulling on the flesh next to them, Tail asked in a low voice, "Did the official website say it was building an airport?" She patronized.
I've posted a few posts now. I didn't read those posts carelessly.
Rourou was filling the water seriously, but after recalling it carelessly for a while, he had no impression. He shook his furry head and said, "Okay... No." Taitail was startled.
"Giao! Could it be that...the treasure has been found by them?" Rourou couldn't laugh or cry. "How did you come to this conclusion?" Taili gestured with his hands with a serious look on his face.
"Think about it, the armor of the God of the Sky... must be huge! It's so big, it can't be transported by truck, right? Maybe they built the airport to transport the treasure away.
Listening to this random analysis, an expression of sudden realization gradually appeared on Rourou's face, and his expression became serious. "...Maybe it's really possible!" Sesame Paste, who was standing aside, couldn't laugh or cry.
"I think if it is really the armor of the God of the Sky, let alone an airplane, even a train can't drag it away... Without hearing the whispers of his teammates, Pika frowned slightly,
Although she didn't see any discussion about that airport on the forum, she always felt that the airport was not that complicated. Oasis No. 9 has not fallen yet.
Moreover, in the past two days, the managers also brought the Heart of Steel and the Stormtroopers to the Lion Kingdom for reinforcements. Although the Legion and the Falcon Kingdom were in decline, they would not take the initiative to fight on two fronts.
Band by band::
A glimmer of understanding appeared in her eyes, as if she had thought of something. "That 'scepter'... maybe they have really found it." Pairs of eyes looked at her.
Pika looked at Lord Sion and said seriously.
"The scepter falling from the sky sealed the evil god and destroyed the oasis. I'm afraid the evil ritual has reached its final step. We don't have time to be firm. You must make a decision immediately!" Thain showed a kind smile on his face. "
It seems we thought of going together."
After that, he looked at the ministers in the palace, suddenly stopped joking, and looked solemn. "I heard the call in the yellow sand, the small will is calling us, our kingdom is facing the most serious crisis in history.
A severe test. Whether our enemy is a legion or an ancient demon, the mercenaries will be the strongest shield of the kingdom!
As he spoke, he pulled out the saber on his waist and looked at the captain of the Guards and the officers with equally solemn expressions on the side. "Gather your men__" "Get ready to fight!"
(Thanks to the leader of "East China Sea Small Fishing Village" for the reward!)
