"The Osiris began to slow down, engines No. 6, 5, and 4 stopped operating, and the power of the remaining engines was reduced by half. The status of each engine is normal, and the energy reserve module is operating normally. It is expected to enter the commercial port of the Moore Chamber of Commerce in an hour."
In the bridge, Baron Humphrey was standing next to Captain Shepard's "command bed" as a guide. He couldn't suppress his joy: "Rear Admiral, please allow me to make a promise to you on behalf of the Moore Chamber of Commerce. Your ship will definitely receive the best maintenance in our commercial port. With just one month of transformation, we can leave the earth, a world of right and wrong." The earth has returned to the universe!”
Captain Shepard also breathed a sigh of relief. He heard that after the death of Sasaki Musashi in the North American HER army, the officers had internal strife in order to compete for resources and rights. Shepard had been worried that HER troops would intercept the Osiris in order to avenge Sasaki Musashi, but now that he is in Mexico, the high-speed moving warship has not been attacked. It seems that the rumors are true.
He relaxed his shoulders and leaned on the bed, looking up to admire the scenery of the Copper Valley on the giant monitor. He didn't know how long it had been since he had enjoyed the natural scenery in such a relaxed way. Now that I am old and the Osiris is about to return to the universe, I wonder if I will ever have the opportunity to appreciate the scenery of the earth like this in this life.
"Human beings are still children of the earth."
Humphrey and the crew did not hear Shepard's muttering, but they all heard the captain's next sentence: "There is a situation in the valley to the southeast!"
Everyone looked in the direction of Shepard on the screen, and sure enough they saw several black smoke rising into the sky from the valley on the ground. However, the cloud cover was extremely thick, and Captain Shepard was able to detect the black smoke earlier than others. The intuition honed during his decades of military career was truly admirable.
"Jessica, zoom in!"
"yes!"
The picture of the area where the black smoke was rising was enlarged. Although the complete situation could not be seen due to the interference of clouds, everyone already understood the situation: a village in the valley was robbed by the army of the New Republic of Gran Colombia (RC). Some people Set fire to the village.
"Captain! There are civilian settlements in the valley being attacked by RC troops!"
Baron Humphrey saw Captain Shepard change from a relaxed demeanor to a alert one, and said: "Don't worry about this kind of thing, let us continue to the commercial port."
Hearing what Humphrey said, Jessica glared at him angrily and asked: "What are you? Do you want us to witness atrocities but pretend that nothing happened, and sit back and watch civilians being bullied!?"
Humphrey said lightly: "Dear lady, I understand your mood. But recklessness and compassion cannot help you defeat HER. You know how many such things happen on earth. You should deal with this kind of thing, When will the war end?”
Jessica pointed at Humphrey and almost cursed: "You...you have no conscience!"
"My conscience is to guide you to the commercial port safely, not to encourage you to have enmity with the RC army. Right, Captain Shepard, you wouldn't care about such a thing, would you?"
Humphrey thought he would get Captain Shepard's approval, but he heard Shepard: "We can't let this happen! Yamaguchi, let the ship lower to combat height immediately. Jessica, let the people on standby Team B goes to repel the marauding RC army!”
"Yes!" Jessica replied happily, and gave Baron Humphrey a proud look. Humphrey shook his head helplessly.
The members of Team B who received the order in the hangar were already in place, waiting for the Osiris to land at a suitable height before attacking. Captain Jack reminded everyone: "It is still unclear the size of the RC army, maybe it is just a group of infantry. Now the reconnaissance plane has gone to investigate first, and we will decide the number we dispatch depending on the number of enemies. Of course, no matter how many enemies there are, try our best. Force the opponent back and avoid direct conflict!"
"Understood!" Team B members responded in unison.
At this moment, the hangar suddenly became noisy. It turned out that the unmanned reconnaissance aircraft that had set off first was destroyed. Judging from the attack, the enemy had humanoid weapons. Now Team B was definitely going to dispatch all of them.
Old Jack didn't dare to neglect. After receiving Jessica's order to attack, he put on his helmet and ordered: "Team B, attack!"
The Osiris looked down like a giant whale soaring in the clouds, and its huge shadow instantly covered a large valley.
"Oh, what a big guy."
Jacques Vaguera was sitting in his cockpit observing the Osiris. He threw the can he had eaten away, the soup splashed everywhere, and then the can fell into the garbage drain at the bottom of the cabin with a clanging sound. The garbage will be simply processed inside, and odors and other things that may reveal the driver's information will be removed as much as possible before being discharged outside the body.
It's a blessing that Tojak is so slovenly. The filthiness of his cockpit is second to none among the armies in the entire Earth Circle. The terrible thing is that he has adapted to this dirty environment. If his men are too clean when cleaning, they will be scolded by him. As time passed, this confined space was almost no place for people to stay, and his subordinates all suspected that Jacques had lost his sense of smell.
In addition to being dirty, his cockpit was also filled with all kinds of unnecessary things. The beauty posters are pretty good, but the decorative pendants hanging on the ceiling are confusing. These things are shaky and may interfere with the driver's combat, and their style of painting does not match the rough Jacques. If anyone else dared to mess with their cockpit like this, they would have been punished long ago, but it was obvious that no one dared to criticize Jacques.
The voice of his subordinate Abu came over: "Boss, the Osiris has sent out humanoid weapons, five of them in total!"
"I saw it, continue the operation!"
Old Jack led the team to land one kilometer away from the attacked village, removed the parachute and began to move. But after only moving for a moment, he stopped the others: "No, the village in front is located in a canyon. If it is attacked, intruders and refugees will have to pass through the muddy road under our feet. But look at the footprints and There are no ruts! Let’s be vigilant first..."
Before Old Jack finished speaking, he heard a deafening explosion. The explosion occurred very close to the mountain wall next to their team. A "lifeguard" had its head blown off. The rest of the machine including Old Jack He was also overturned by this sudden explosion. Old Jack yelled that it was not good. The ambush point and detonation time of this explosive were very cruel. It must have been done by an experienced person! The way he came had been destroyed. He wanted to call the team members to run to the opposite direction of the village and retreat, but found that it was difficult for the team members to get up immediately.
At this moment, a second explosion came from the front, smoke and dust rushed across the village, and the road ahead was blocked.
Seeing that the explosion was very effective, Abu was excited: "Boss, your plan worked! You can trap them for a while!"
Yako said with interest: "Hehe... the rumors are indeed true, the Osiris really likes to meddle in other people's business! This way there is no need for Plan B. They will definitely not leave their companions on the ground alone."
"Boss, let me do the last hit!"
"Okay, but don't go too far. Just kill a few."
"knew!"
Abu jumped out of the forest in his own body. This RC standard body looks very strange. Its torso and armor resemble the shell of an insect, and its head also resembles a praying mantis, hence its nickname "Flying Mantis". Apart from the shape, the biggest feature of this aircraft is that both shoulders are equipped with foldable propellers, allowing the aircraft to hover in the air.
At this time, Old Jack was helping a teammate remove a boulder that was pressing on the aircraft body. Suddenly he heard the noise that could only be made by a propeller. This noise made him feel uneasy. As soon as he looked up, he saw a "Flying Mantis" appearing above his head.
"not good!!"
Old Jack reacted quickly and raised his shield to protect himself and his teammates. But others are not so lucky. "Flying Mantis" fired at them with machine guns mercilessly, and disappeared only after a bunch of bullets were empty.
"Hey! Hey! Are you okay? Talk back! O'Neal, Muhammad, Ivan, if you heard this, please talk back quickly! Hey!"
Old Jack shouted the names of the team members at the top of his lungs, but no one responded to him.
