One, two... a total of four aircraft models that Lin Ao and Luke had never seen before left the Black Sea and landed on their island. These four mysterious aircraft models were all black, with conical heads and outer armor. The shape is rounded, and on the left shoulder, there is a line of text written by Lin Ao that he has never seen before: τριήρης.
"Trireme..." Luke, a top student at Oxford University, saw that it was Greek text.
After the four humanoid weapons landed, they moved towards the other side of the coast, which was the blind spot of Luke's sight. In order to catch up with them, Luke awkwardly jumped off the No. 4 machine. Fortunately, he did not make too much noise. When Luke climbed to a cliff on the coast, he was surprised to find that there was a 40-meter-high cave under the cliff, and four humanoid weapons walked in one after another.
"this……"
Luke hesitated, should he catch up? He was single and weak, and the "Phoenix" was severely damaged. If he ran back to call Lin Ao, he would probably miss important information, and he had just pointed his gun at Lin Ao...
While he was hesitating, Lin Ao also ran over, leaned next to Luke and asked him what was going on. Seeing that Lin Ao didn't hate him, Luke told him everything: "Judging from the painting, these four aircraft are probably developed by HER. If they are testing any new weapons, I must report this information to Superior!"
"But where are they now?"
"When we enter the cave underground, you stay here and I'll go down and have a look!"
Luke said this very simply, but his climbing down movements were not crisp at all. Every move was trembling. Two minutes had passed and he had only gone down half a meter.
"Well..." Lin Ao said, "How about I do it."
Luke blinked in surprise. The thin boy of the same age in front of him climbed down the cliff with ease. His hands and feet were as nimble as an ape. He had climbed down several meters in a minute.
Luke asked him quietly: "Can you rock climb?"
Lin Ao chuckled: "I used to live in a canyon, and I once climbed over the cliff with my friends."
Within a few minutes, Lin Ao had climbed to the entrance of the cave. He clapped his hands, lowered his body, panting and hid beside a piece of granite at the entrance of the cave.
The interior of this cave is like a natural hangar. Four new aircraft are standing in it in an orderly manner, and the hatches are all open. Four soldiers wearing black driving uniforms were sitting in their respective aircrafts, as if they were debugging some data.
"Jennis, Dechen, how is your 'Terry Reese'?" A man asked standing on the hatch.
Because of the echo in the cave, Lin Ao could hear their conversation clearly.
"Warrant Officer, I dived a little too deep just now, and the instruments were a little confused."
"After all, it's still a test machine." said the person who just asked.
"Warrant Officer Lawn, New Moscow Principality really didn't discover us!" said a female soldier.
The man named Warrant Officer Lawn took off his helmet and said proudly:
"New Muscovy and the Empire have declared war. Although they have fought in the universe, on Earth, in order to avoid being involved in a multi-front war and the Empire invading their territory, New Muscovy has relaxed its vigilance."
A soldier took out a 25 cm long rectangular metal bar and pressed it. A VR operation interface popped up on the left side of the metal bar. He fiddled with the VR tablet and said: "Warrant Officer Lawn, we are only a few meters away from Batumi City. We have reached 3 nautical miles, and it is expected that a patrol ship from the New Moscow Principality will appear nearby in the evening.”
Warrant Officer Lawn nodded: "It doesn't matter, let's take a rest and launch a surprise attack on the port of Batumi City in the early morning as planned. Remember, we must use new EU-shaped torpedoes!"
"Yes!" The other three replied in unison.
…
Seeing that they said nothing, Lin Ao climbed to the cliff again.
"Huh... I'm so exhausted." Lin Ao, who climbed to the cliff, lay on the ground and gasped. Although he could climb rocks, he was still too thin. Going back and forth on a cliff forty or fifty meters high was quite strenuous. .
"Did you hear anything?"
"There are four people, led by Warrant Officer HER. On a cloudy day, they want to attack the port of Batumi City. They also said that they will use your new EU torpedoes to launch the attack."
"These cosmic locusts!" Luke punched the ground. "HER wants to sow discord between the new EU and the new Muscovy!"
Lin Ao sat up and asked: "People in New Muscovy won't easily believe HER's tricks, right?"
"You are an outsider and don't understand the situation. The new European Union and the new Principality of Moscow have been dissatisfied with each other for decades because of border territorial issues and colonial satellite issues."
"What should we do?"
"If the two forces really start a war because of HER's instigation, I can't sit idly by and do nothing. Did you hear anything else?"
"They seem to say that there will be patrol ships from the New Muscovy Principality passing nearby in the evening."
"Ah, then we have to wait until evening before we can act. It's no joke if we are discovered..." Luke said, scratching his head.
"What are you going to do?".
Luke sighed: "I lied to you before about waiting for rescue, but in fact I sent distress signals several times, but there was no response. What about you?"
Lin Ao looked confused: "Well, I just woke up and met you."
"Then why are you still standing there! Send a distress signal quickly!"
…
Luke and Lin Ao ran back to the hidden location of Unit 2 and saw Lin Ao sitting in the cockpit. Luke also wanted to get in, but was sprayed with water.
"You don't need to come in, just stay outside." AI said.
Luke wiped his face angrily, Lin Ao smiled awkwardly, and began to try to connect to the Osiris.
After about 10 minutes, the signal finally came through.
"Is it Lin Ao? I'm the communications officer Jessica, where are you now!"
Because it is an encrypted signal, the signal is somewhat intermittent.
"The pilot of the New European Union and I crashed on a small island. We are all fine. But there are new HER aircraft on the island. They plan to sneak attack the port of the New Muscovy Principality and blame the New European Union!"
"I know, I'll transfer it to Captain Xue Pad."
An old voice appeared: "Lin Ao, I am Shepard, the driver of the new EU is with you?"
"Yes."
"Very well, I heard what you just said, and I also know your position. I will ask Bart and the others to rescue you."
Luke spoke: "Sorry, let me interrupt. It's 5 p.m. in the afternoon. The patrol ship of the New Muscovy Principality will appear nearby in the evening. You'd better come at night! What are you going to do about HER?"
"I called Mr. An Dongzhong here to listen to his suggestions."
The voice on the other end of the communication became Anton again: "Lin Ao, I probably know the situation. Your location is too close to the New Muscovy Principality. We can only send the smallest number of people to rescue you. Likewise, It’s up to you to deal with the HER forces on the island.”
"How to deal with it……"
"Don't use laser rifles. Destroy the enemy's weapons. Too much movement will attract new Moss and Co.. Isn't your No. 2 machine equipped with laser and light knives? My suggestion is to use smoke bombs to disturb enemy lines and use laser knives. Deal with them quickly, but the specific situation is up to you two to judge."
The communication ended, and Luke asked Lin Ao: "Do you have smoke bombs?"
Lin Ao rummaged through the box and found a smoke bomb for individual soldiers.
"This is too small...it's not enough. Ask the AI."
"Sorry, the No. 2 machine is not equipped with any throwing or grenade weapons." AI said.
Luke looked out worriedly. When he saw "Unit 4", he had an idea and shouted happily: "Eureka! There is an electromagnetic pulse missile on the Phoenix. I will remove it. You drive the second The No. 1 aircraft is holding the missile and slamming it down from the cliff. It should be able to paralyze their equipment, and then you can jump down and kill them!"
"Is this feasible?" Lin Ao felt that it was not very reliable to hold a missile and throw it down.
"I can adjust the detonation device of the missile, no problem!" Luke looked very confident.
…
At night, Lin Ao piloted the No. 2 aircraft, carefully holding the missile Luke handed him, and stood on the cliff.
"There is a cave under this cliff. Isn't it unable to support the weight of Unit 2..."
Lin Ao was still thinking wildly, but Luke was ready. He pinched his watch and started counting down: "10, 9, 8, 7... 2, 1, throw it away!"
Lin Ao controlled the No. 2 aircraft and threw the missile head down. There was a loud noise, curses and the sound of rock collapse coming from the cave.
"Jump! Hurry up!"
The sound after the explosion of the electromagnetic pulse missile was louder than expected. It is likely to attract the attention of the New Muscovy Principality, and a quick victory is needed.
Unit No. 2 drew out its laser saber and jumped off the cliff. This jump caused the rock that had just been loosened by the explosion to crack.
Warrant Officer Lawn of HER saw a jet-black aircraft with two curved horns appearing immediately after the explosion. He knew that he had been attacked by surprise without even thinking about it. He stood on the hatch to avoid the falling rocks and ordered to his men: "Everyone, attack! Attack!"
The three of them had already entered the cockpit after the explosion, but Lin Ao had the first advantage after all and chopped off the head of a 'Terry Reith' with one knife. It's just that he has too little combat experience, so he doesn't know that cutting off the head will at most cause the camera to malfunction for a while. A skilled pilot can quickly switch to the camera elsewhere on the fuselage, so this is not a fatal injury. But this group of HER soldiers had never seen the No. 2 machine, nor had they seen a laser melee weapon.
"What kind of machine is this? Is it a new machine from the New Principality of Moscow? Is it a laser knife in its hand?"
"What are you doing standing still? Fight back!" Warrant Officer Lawn took out his machine gun and fired at the No. 2 machine. Because of the structure of the cave, it was easy for the people inside to attack the outside. Without the ability to use the laser rifle, Lin Ao had no choice but to face the machine gun bullets and slash at them again with his knife.
This time Lin Ao hit the central system of one "Terry Reith". Seeing that they were defeated, the other three units pushed Lin Ao out of the cave with all their strength.
"Don't let them get away!" Luke shouted from the cliff.
At this time, Lin Ao and Luke didn't bother to think about why HER's new machine was not interfered by electromagnetic pulses and could still be operated freely. The most important thing now was not to let them go. The three "Terry Reese" got up and ran to the sea. Lin Ao pressed the "mouth cannon" button, and a bright light flashed on the beach. It interfered with the sight of three "Terry Reese" and almost blinded Luke who was watching the battle on the cliff.
"Damn, this is the second time!" Luke fell to the ground and rubbed his eyes in pain.
Warrant Officer Lawn couldn't see anything anymore, but he didn't give up resistance: "Don't be afraid! Don't change direction, continue to the sea!"
The three "Terry Reese" continued to run into the sea, but their movements were still affected. Lin Ao caught up with him in a few steps, raised his knife and dropped it, and the two "Terry Reese" were cut in half.
"Damn it! I remember you, horned one. One day I will avenge my men!"
Warrant Officer Lawn's "Terry Reese" jumped into the sea first. Lin Ao couldn't catch up and could only watch it disappear into the sea.
