Chapter 974 ‘Friends’ from the Abyss (please vote for the big chapter)
The flames lit up the night sky like fireworks, streaks of light streaked across the sky, and the flashing lasers were like swords piercing the sky, tearing apart the alien beasts flying in the sky and the roaring Dragoon fighter planes.
The flaming shells streaked across the low altitude like raindrops, trailing densely with their long tails, passing through the swaying woods, and then were hit by small anti-aircraft shells one after another, blooming densely in the sky like secondary explosions of fireworks.
of flame.
The scorching wind blew through the woods, causing a violent rustling sound.
The roaring beasts fled quickly between the towering trees, avoiding the roaring flames in the sky and the steel fragments that exploded and fell like raindrops, shattering the rocks.
The huge sound spread along the darkness, disturbing life in an area of hundreds of kilometers at the same time.
And behind the towering wall, the people living in the city also raised their heads and looked at the source of the roar.
"White Jasmine Palace reminds all citizens of Yilan City that Yilan City is being attacked by the mercenary group of the Ivis Space System. Please stay indoors or in the nearest building and do not walk through the streets."
"As a reminder, Yilan City is being attacked by the mercenary group of the Ives Space System. Please stay indoors or in the nearest building and do not walk through the streets."
"Special reminder, citizens near the South Gate, if there are air defense facilities near you, please take refuge in the air defense facilities immediately."
"Remind again···"
"here we go?"
Accompanied by piercing sirens and roaring explosions, the young officer who was leaning on a half-collapsed low wall turned back and looked at the high wall behind him.
His body felt unnaturally tight.
"Don't be nervous, it's just a tentative attack now,"
Another officer next to the young officer, who was a bit stout, said, "A real fight would be louder and more violent."
Hearing the fat officer's words, the young officer's face froze, "Your words don't sound like comforting words."
"It's okay, we will win."
The fat officer glanced at the high wall behind him and took out a cigarette, but after thinking about it, he still didn't light it and put the cigarette in his pocket.
"Is the Ivis space system really crazy?"
The young officer still felt a little sad. He looked at the towering city wall behind him. A faint light emerged from the top of the city wall, and the flames of the war almost turned the entire sky white.
"Who knows what these bastards are thinking?"
The fat officer sighed.
He turned his head and looked at the old man who was also leaning against the low wall in a corner on the other side. He seemed to be no different from other soldiers. "We don't need to think so much. We can just follow General Covey to kill the enemy. What do you think?"
Too much will lead to lack of determination on the battlefield, and it is easier to die quickly."
"Be prepared, the target is coming."
At this moment, a hoarse and old voice sounded in everyone's tactical headphones.
The fat officer and young officer immediately came to their senses and leaned tightly against the low wall.
The fat officer picked up the infrared night vision telescope on the side, raised it to his eyes, and looked into the distance under the night.
Amidst the roar of artillery fire behind the high wall, a mixed convoy of medium-sized trucks, heavy-duty trucks and off-road vehicles was slowly driving towards here along the dilapidated road.

Nancheng Command Center
The burly officer raised the telescope in his hand and looked at the small floating fighter plane painted in black that slowly emerged in the darkness ahead.
Unlike the weapons of the city defense army with the white jasmine emblem printed on them, the fighter planes that emerged in the distance were all solid color without any emblem.
Under the floating fighter plane, there are small armored vehicles equipped with electromagnetic guns, as well as 'soldiers' dressed as gang members wearing exoskeleton armor, holding Gauss rifles, hiding behind the armored vehicles.
This team quickly approached here along the night sky.
"What the hell, is our city security check already so loose?"
The burly officer raised his binoculars and looked at the aerial fighters and armored vehicles, "How did these bastards transport all these things into the city? Even if they were broken into parts, these things shouldn't be transported into the city.
"
He raised his binoculars and looked behind these fighters. Several Hell Apostle mechas were approaching behind these troops.
He spat, "The bastard who let these things in should really put a gun to his head and give himself a couple of bangs."
Then he raised his hand and said, "Follow my command, the automatic defense system starts, the defensive mecha team fires, and the enemy is alert to the use of electromagnetic pulse bombs."
As he finished speaking, the sound of mechanical operation sounded in the dark night, and huge cannon muzzles rotated under the night, aiming at the approaching troops in front.
Then he scratched his head, seemed to remember something, and clicked the headphones on his ears, "By the way, send them a warning, damn, I almost forgot about the process. General Covey said we have to do the process well to avoid leaving any traces."
Get the handle, hurry up, don't worry about whether they can hear clearly or not, let's just go through the process."
The huge loudspeaker placed at the front of the muzzle changed its direction, pointed at the approaching troops in front, and played a somewhat nervous recorded voice, "Warning, you are approaching a military restricted area, stop your actions, otherwise you will be responsible for the consequences."
,warn···"
Almost as soon as they heard this sound, the team in the dark speeded up their approach.
"No one can cross this line today!"
Seeing this scene, the burly man raised his hands and shouted loudly, "Fire!"

city council building
"Members of Parliament are requested to take refuge in underground air-raid shelters immediately. Members of Parliament are requested to take refuge in underground air-raid shelters immediately."
With the piercing alarm echoing in the wide corridor.
The man in the white shirt hurriedly put on his coat and followed the man with the cigar, "Holy shit, what are these consortiums doing? Are they crazy? Didn't they just say they wanted to cooperate with us in the morning? What does he want to do now?"
"Cooperating with us is cooperation, using force is force,"
The cigar man took a deep breath and quickly followed the route prompted by the surrounding alarms to escape. "They never considered that they could succeed solely with our help."
"What the hell,"
The man in the white shirt scratched his hair and looked to the south. There was a faint violent sound coming from the south. "The Federation has not fought a war for many years. A consortium and mercenary group are attacking the city? What do they want to do? Rule directly by force.
Cities? Overthrow the city government by force? Do they want to destroy the Union? These bastards!"
"It shouldn't be so extreme,"
The cigar man took off the cigar from his mouth and quickly went down the stairs, "They will probably put two layers of paper on their faces to make dough and cover it up with federal rules. As long as they make a loud voice and don't do too much,
If we influence the Federal Parliament again, this matter will finally be settled."
He stopped and looked up to the east, "It's just that our old mayor should be doomed this time."
Then he looked back at the man in the white shirt behind him and said slowly,
"Don't worry, 'collaborators' of the consortium like us might still have the opportunity to enter the city cabinet and make a lot of money, but I'm afraid I won't be able to do things behind the back of the consortium again. After this is done,
, probably no one dares to openly confront these consortiums. In the future, the city council and city government will directly become their puppets. These guys are too ruthless."
Hearing his words, the man in the white shirt looked back at the gorgeous decoration of the parliament building behind him, and then spat on the ground, "What the hell, this fucking world."

"Welcome everyone to today's Irons Newsletter, with an urgent message now,"
The young man carrying the silver suitcase walked along the steel plates connecting the low-rise buildings. Along with the roar of cannons outside the high wall, the gentle and immersive host's voice also came from his bracelet.
"A few minutes ago, the headquarters of Ivis Space Systems Group in Irons held an emergency press conference.
"It was announced that the leader of the Ives First Mercenary Group to which the group belongs is suspected to have been bewitched by the evil god and has hijacked the entire mercenary group, as well as another aviation unit belonging to the group that often cooperates with the mercenary group.
"Ives Space System claims that the force is now completely out of control, and all the group's communications to its mercenary group have been cut off. The group reminds all cities in the federation to be wary of attacks by the out-of-control mercenary group.
"It is reported that the mercenary group that went out of control this time was a fully mechanized mercenary group equipped with the latest equipment of the Ivis space system, and the aviation unit it held hostage was equipped with an aviation formation of three aerial behemoths, and
A large number of the latest large bombers and sonic fighters.
"According to relevant sources within the Ivis space system, the comprehensive combat power and equipment quality of the out-of-control troops are much higher than those of most small and medium-sized city defense forces in the Federation. The equipment they possess can even easily break through the high walls of small cities.
"The spokesperson of Ivis Space System said that such an out-of-control and unstable force may have an irreparable negative impact on the peace situation of the entire federation. They are very 'regretful' that this incident happened.
and 'deplore'.
"At the same time, the group also claimed that they are actively looking for ways to take back control of the mercenary group and prevent the situation from developing into a worse situation.
"Currently, the group has issued a bounty order to the entire federation, offering a high bounty of 90 million federal dollars for the leader of the mercenary group, Crossway.
"You can check through the FBI's official website that the FBI has listed Crosway as a Class A wanted fugitive, the highest level on the wanted list.
"At the same time, the FBI has also classified the out-of-control mercenary group in the Ivis space system as a Class A dangerous force.
"According to the 'Federal Security Act', Class A dangerous forces are defined as 'extreme dangers that may subvert most cities.' All federally registered mercenary groups and urban defense forces are obliged to recruit or recruit such dangerous forces.
exterminate.
"It is reported that the Federal Ministry of Defense is considering mobilizing the federal central army to encircle and suppress the mercenary group.
"For more news, please continue to pay attention to our reports."
As the announcement on the bracelet gradually came to an end, the steps of the young man carrying the suitcase gradually stopped.
He raised his bracelet and quit the news broadcast, then raised his head and glanced at the high wall that was making a roaring sound.
Night shrouded everything around, and the streets where people used to flow were now like dead silence. Only the factories in the distance were still rumbling, mixed with the sound of artillery fire, forming a pure background sound in the darkness.
The huge and magnificent wall stood there, like an eternal giant, dividing the inside of the city from the outside.
The young man withdrew his gaze, walked from the rooftop of the low building at his feet, and looked ahead.
At this moment, the road under his feet had reached its end, and a round abandoned building appeared in front of him.
A breach only for one or two people was opened in the wall of the circular building. A steel plate was placed between the breach and the rooftop at the young man's feet, forming a simple and thin bridge to connect the two buildings.
Through the gap in the wall of the circular building, you can vaguely see some scattered iron tables and some simple signs on the tables.
This seems to be a small trading market, but the market is already empty at this moment.
There were only scattered iron tables, some "merchandise" that had fallen nearby that had not yet been picked up, and rubbish placed chaotically on the ground, indicating that people here were walking in a hurry.
When the flames of war ignite outside the city wall, no one will want to stay near the city wall.
The young man did not stay in the circular building, but turned his gaze slightly and looked behind the circular building.
There, a building built against high walls and brightly lit, vaguely outlined in the darkness.
That is the command center of the Nancheng City Defense Army, the core of the entire Nancheng City Defense Army.
Staring at the building, the young man picked up his suitcase and jumped directly from the rooftop with a slight leap.
With a slight muffled sound, he landed on the old ground near a pile of old steel pipes.
The sound of artillery could be faintly heard from the north, and it seemed that the city defense troops guarding the command center were exchanging fire with some troops.
The young man stood up straight, patted the dust on his body, and walked slowly forward.
Soon, he walked around the circular building.
The slightly dim lights and the Nancheng Command Center building not far away appeared in front of him almost simultaneously.
But he did not continue forward. Instead, he stopped under the streetlight and looked across the street at the dim intersection leading to the Nancheng Command Center.
A silver-blue old-fashioned luxury car was parked at the edge of the intersection. He was wearing a neat gray suit and straight clothes. He was holding a brass cane. An old man with gray but meticulously groomed hair was quietly leaning on the edge of the hood of the vehicle.
.
At this moment, the old man also raised his head, looking at the young man calmly with his cloudy eyes.
The dim streetlight illuminated the old man's profile, as if he had been standing here, waiting for a long time.
"first meet,"
He Ao held the brass cane in his hand, looked at the young man, and said hoarsely, "Lynn."
"Wells."
The young man held the silver suitcase in his hand and stared back at He Ao.
The dim streetlight illuminated his pale cheeks, dragging the shadows behind him into twisted and huge shapes.
"Nice to meet you,"
He Ao looked at the young man calmly, then punched the cane in his hand into the ground, and said in an old and hoarse voice, "The 'Great Coach' from the abyss."
