In the early morning of July 19, the highway from Oak Forest to Howe Fortress.
A layer of white frost condenses on the Turasis thorn bushes on both sides of the road. Under the pale light of the car lights, it emits a crystal-clear light, like a work of art. In the deep darkness, hungry polar beasts
Roaring far away, the icy wind brought the smell of blood and gunpowder.
The first class of heavy armored vehicles drove at the front, with a clanking Camorian KM flag welded next to the right rearview mirror. The driver was Augustus, and the co-pilot was sitting in the third row.
Lieutenant Colonel Reagan, the container truck behind them was filled with a group of fully armed Marines.
As the distance to Howe Fortress got closer and closer, the craters on the road ahead gradually became denser, and Augustus's armored vehicles sometimes had to carefully circumvent several craters before they could continue to move forward.
"We are only one mile away from the first outpost of Fortress Hawe. Marines, be vigilant." In the platoon's communication channel, Reagan said while looking at the navigation on the console.
“Load the bullet.” Augustus said a few words in a very calm voice on the communication channel of his class.
Augustus responded with wordless silence and neat clicking sounds. While waiting calmly, everyone could feel their hearts beating.
A mile of road is not too long for the armored vehicles driving at high speed. When Augustus and Reagan saw the first destroyed roadblock, there was a tall steel tower, a semicircular bunker and a cold road next to the road.
The shadow of the outpost consisting of gray circular protective walls slowly emerged.
“We are passing through outpost 020.” When the speed of the armored vehicle increased significantly, Reagan’s voice rang again, and Augustus and others could clearly feel his breathing becoming rapid.
Augustus's armored vehicle sped past the outpost. Under the car lights, the walls of the outpost building shone with the heat-insulating coating on their surfaces. However, as he had expected earlier, the outpost was already deserted. Some of the outpost buildings were already empty.
The interior of the main building was still burning, but the flames were not easily visible.
“Keep moving forward, the outpost is unguarded. The roadblock has been destroyed and the front is clear.” Reagan told the entire platoon.
“We have twenty minutes to reach Howe Fortress.”
At this time, Augustus could clearly hear the roar of Kemerian's iconic large-caliber mortars, and there were often bright, momentary light spots flashing away.
The road ahead was unexpectedly smooth, so Augustus accelerated all the way forward. He was about to pretend that a reinforcement force was coming quickly to support. Gradually, the outline of the towering hexagonal tower of Howe Fortress began to appear.
Vaguely, Augustus could see a high-pressure airlock door studded with spikes directly in front of him, which was constantly enlarging in his eyes.
“There are two Kemorian soldiers at the door.” Regan said, “Would you like to stop and be questioned by them?”
In Augustus' eyes, the airlock door of the fortress suddenly opened. Two Seagoron Legion soldiers wearing dark blue power armor and black wing badges on their chests were gesturing to get Augustus's vehicle.
stop.
“The more you talk to them, the easier it is to be exposed.” Augustus Mosuo turned the steering wheel: “Second Lieutenant, my suggestion is...”
“Full the accelerator.”
Originally, the two Haigelong soldiers were also very confused about the sudden appearance of the convoy, because they knew very well that there could be no other attacking troops tonight. Since the nearby Haigelong assault teams have all arrived, these KM
Where did the flag troops come from?
But in any case, they did not dare to shoot at Augustus, what if he was really one of their own?
They dare not take responsibility.
However, when Augustus's armored car rushed towards them without slowing down, it was too late for the two Seagoron Legionnaires to escape.
In the sight of Augustus and Regan, the two Hygoron soldiers seemed to have crashed into the car. They were hanging on the front window of the armored car, with their helmets sticking tightly to it. A few seconds later
, their feet were caught under the wheels, and their bodies disappeared in the blink of an eye. The armored vehicle weighing dozens of tons jumped and ran over their bodies.
Another heavy armored vehicle followed closely and knocked the two unconscious soldiers away again. This time, they never got up again.
“Boss, your driving skills are really bad, did you hit the trash can?” Hanak asked on the Class 1 channel.
“Wrong, it’s two evil dragons.”
Augustus turned the steering wheel, and the armored vehicle immediately turned into another lane. At the end of this lane, the gunfire became more and more intensive, but except for the destroyed armored vehicles and the bodies of some federal marines, they had not yet encountered any
Have been to the enemy or your own troops.
"Where are you going?" Next to him, Reagan turned his head to look at the road signs. Many streetlights had been smashed, and the speed of the car was so fast that he couldn't see clearly: "Officer's Wives Club? Wrestling Fighting
Training Course?"
“Dear Reagan, you perfectly avoided all the correct answers.” Augustus’s armored vehicle turned at an intersection, when Reagan finally saw a new road sign - parking platform.
“I originally thought we were going to the command center or the armory,” Reagan said.
"These two places must be the primary attack targets of the Camorians." Augustus said: "It has been more than six hours since the attack on Hawe Fortress, and the possibility that it has not been lost is very low. And we
The company's barracks are at the other end of the fortress, which is actually closer to the equally strategically important parking platform."
“Think about it, if Fortress Hawe was destined to fail, what would Lieutenant Colonel Vanderspup do?”
“If it’s Captain Warfield, he will definitely choose to defend his position.” Reagan said: “But if it’s Vanderspu, I think there is a high probability that he will escape.”
“Yes, but if he wants to escape, he only has one option left, and that is to take a spaceship.”
Augustus’ car drove up an upward ramp. At this time, the vast parking platform was already in sight.
About a dozen soldiers of the Seagoron Legion in dark blue paint were on the road a few hundred yards away from Augustus, running with their backs to him towards the parking platform. Further away, they could easily
I saw two different troops shooting at each other on the platform.
An APOD-33 transport aircraft capable of carrying seven or eight Marines rose from a barrage of spike bullets, and its thrusters emitted two dazzling blue beams. The spacecraft was quickly locked, and it was parked next to the landing platform.
An anti-aircraft missile tower controlled by soldiers of the Seagoron Legion fired a series of missiles before it rose into the sky.
Almost instantly, with a thunderous roar, the transport ship exploded, and the fragments of the ship fell from the sky wrapped in flames, like blooming summer fireworks.
