Venice, one of the most romantic and beautiful cities in the world, is known as the "Yin Pearl of the Adriatic". This floating city is not just beautiful to look at. The "Republic of Venice", which was run by merchants, was born here and once became the dominant power in the Mediterranean.
But that is all in the past, because the continuous deterioration of the earth's environment has caused the melting of glaciers and the rise of sea levels. In the past, Venice was almost submerged by the sea water. People had to build a new Venice at a higher altitude and move the "Bridge of Sighs", "Doge's Palace" and other monuments to the new city. If you want to see the Venice of the past, you are welcome to sign up for a one-day diving tour of Old Venice. If you can’t swim, you can also use VR equipment to visit virtual Venice.
Because the old city was submerged, New Venice could not become a neutral historical city like Athens, so HER's troops dared to attack the city unscrupulously.
There are a total of six Yingyangs in the city, and as the vanguard, they have controlled most of the city. Deputy Speaker Robert of the New European Union (NEU) was hiding in a basement under the cover of bodyguards. Also trapped with him was the mayor of Wisney.
The mayor was restless and kept looking at his watch. The Osiris that came to rescue them should have arrived.
"Mr. Deputy Speaker, the sun is about to set, why hasn't the Osiris arrived yet? In my opinion, it's better to ask for help from the Frankish Legion of NUE!"
Deputy Speaker Robert sighed and said: "Why do you think I didn't ask for help from my own army, but instead entrusted the Osiris? HER airborne a large number of troops last night. There are battlefields everywhere in Central Europe. The Frankish Army can't control it. Or did they suggest me Go ask for help from the Osiris."
The mayor scratched his head impatiently: "HER only invaded the Crimean Peninsula before, I thought the city of Venice would sit back and relax!"
"This is their strategy. If they invade other parts of Europe first, once the war situation becomes stalemate, there is no guarantee that the New Muscovy Principality in the east will not take the opportunity to expand under the banner of rescuing us. So their first step is to attack the Crimean Peninsula. , to make it look like a long-term operation. Firstly, we can first make preparations to resist the new Principality of Moscow, and secondly, we can draw our military power eastward, causing the defense in other areas to be relatively empty."
"So how many areas does NEU still control now?"
"I don't know, I was stuck here last night..."
The liaison bodyguard suddenly raised his head and said to the deputy speaker: "Sir, the Osiris has arrived in the Bay of Venice!"
"It's finally here!" The deputy speaker and the mayor jumped up happily.
The Osiris flew over the old city that was flooded by seawater, and dropped three lifeguards and "Hundred Steps" into the new city. This is the entire combat effectiveness of the Osiris. The drivers of these three lifeguards are: Bart, Li Si and Old Jack.
Bart and the others formed a three-person queue and moved towards the controlled area of the city. The enemy had already discovered their movements. Liutai Yingyangshi took the initiative to move closer, preparing to encircle and suppress the three of them.
Bart and the others moved to a small square, each looking for bunkers to prepare to defend themselves against the enemy.
"It would be great if we also had shields." Li Si said.
"Go back and ask the captain to buy a shield for each of us, but first we have to deal with the enemy in front of us. One person can deal with two Yingyangs, is that okay?"
"no problem!"
The enemy did not attack rashly. They first greeted Bart and the others with grenades. Faced with the bombing of grenades, the three of them could only grit their teeth and hold on. Soon, half of the houses around them that could be used as bunkers were destroyed.
A Yingyang equipped with a rocket launcher jumped to a high place and aimed at the square. As long as he fires one shot, the entire square will be blown up.
However, before the pilot could pull the trigger, a laser beam was fired from a higher place, burning a big hole in the chest of the Eagle. The pilot quickly abandoned the plane and ran for his life. This laser was fired by Anton who was hiding on a high-rise building in the city.
"Sergeant Anton has found a place to cover us, there are still five stations left!"
The first part of the tactic is to gather the enemies guarding various places for counter-encirclement and suppression. Now it was time to change from passive to active. Three lifeguards rushed out of the square and launched an attack on the two enemy planes guarding an intersection. The enemy who was originally hiding behind the three people showed up and tried to flank them, but ended up being exposed and sniped by Anton.
Bart rushed into the intersection quickly. As soon as the enemy turned around to grab the entrance, Li Si, who was following close behind, broke his arm with a machine gun at close range. Bart took the opportunity to crash another Eagle into a nearby building, and Old Jack, who finally appeared, paralyzed it with a knife.
The pilots of the two Yingyangs went out and surrendered, and now only two enemy planes were left. Seeing that the battle situation was not going well, they began to move to other parts of the city and tried to rely on bunkers to avoid being sniped.
If they really retreat to a troublesome place, it will be difficult to deal with. The three Barts followed the Osiris's command in the air and pursued the enemy from another way.
However, to their surprise, the two Yingyangs did not find a place to fight a positional battle. Instead, they took Bart and the others in a large circle and retreated to the outside of the city.
Bart contacted the Osiris and said, "Do you need us to pursue it?"
"No need, Deputy Speaker Robert just informed us of his and the Mayor of Venice's locations. You go to the rescue first."
Ten minutes later, Bart and the others rescued the deputy speaker and the mayor, and the Osiris sent fighter jets to pick them up on the ship.
After getting off the plane, Deputy Speaker Robert gratefully held the hand of Captain Shepard, who was already waiting for him in the hangar.
"Thank you! If it weren't for you, I don't know how long I would have been trapped!" Robert shook the hands they held tightly.
The mayor of Venice also came over to shake hands with Shepard, showing an expression of asking for help and said: "Next, I will also ask the Osiris to help defend Venice..."
Shepard didn't understand, so he asked: "What's going on? Didn't we repel the enemy?"
"According to the intelligence report, you just repelled the first wave of enemies. Around the early morning, more troops will attack Venice..."
Shepard was in trouble: "But the Osiris has just escaped death. What you have seen is its full combat power. There is still one that has not returned yet..."
"I have no choice. The NEU troops are fighting fires everywhere. The only ones who can save the citizens of Venice now are the Osiris and you!"
Mayor Wisney bowed deeply to Shepard, and Shepard looked at Deputy Speaker Robert. After all, he had only agreed to take the Deputy Speaker to Turin before. Robert's response was a nod, indicating that he was willing to wait until the Osiris held Venice before going to Corin.
"Mr. Mayor, there is no need to be so polite. The Osiris will defend the city of Venice."
"Thank you!" the mayor beamed.
"But the dirty talk is ahead. Accepting this commission is also vital to the survival of the entire crew of the Osiris. I want to receive the reward."
The mayor agreed readily: "No problem! Deputy Speaker Robert will be the witness. If Venice can hold on, I am willing to give Osiris half a year's financial revenue of the city of Venice and a year's salary of mine!"
Shepard nodded, turned around and ordered to the crew: "The Osiris will defend Venice next, everyone be prepared, we must not lose this time!"
