"what happened?"
Anton dialed the communication on the bridge, and Jessica said: "There is a battle on the M7 route. It is expected to pass through the battle area in 2 o'clock."
"Can't we take a detour?"
Li Youde, who was next to Jessica, interjected: "Other routes to the earth are controlled by HER. It would take a month at the fastest to go around."
"So you have to force your way in, right? I understand."
"We may not take action. There is a colonial satellite Liangzhu near the M7 route. If we ask for help, they may help us cross the M7 route safely. Let me contact you and take a look."
"Understood."
Anton ended the communication and turned to Lin Ao: "Team A will be on the deck in a moment. You go and notify Edward and Natasha."
"Can machine No. 2 be used?" Lin Ao asked.
"Old Abdul has checked, HER hasn't done anything, it's ready to go, let's go!"
…
Half an hour later, the fire in the battle area could be clearly seen from the bridge of the Osiris. The communication sent by Li Youde to Liangzhu was only connected at this time:
"We are the Osiris of the colonial satellite Mycenae. Because there is a war on the M7 route, we need to pass through the area of your satellite. Can we let it go?"
There seems to be interference in the communication on the other side, there is only sound but no image:
"We are the 503rd Xingmi Regiment, fighting HER at the border of Liangzhu. Please wait patiently until the battle is over."
"Please, I see that your battle situation is not optimistic. I'm afraid that if you wait a few more hours, you will have to go far away! If you need help, we can join the battle as reinforcements."
There was silence on the other side for a moment, as if they were confirming the information of the Osiris, and then they said: "Thank you Mycenae for your kindness, but we can only rely on us now. If you are in a hurry to pass, please detour this route, it is in good condition." The back side of Nagisa is far away from the fighting area and safe.”
"Thank you! Good luck!"
The communication ended, and Jessica asked: "Why don't they want our help?"
Li Youde scratched his neck: "I don't want to owe any favors. Although the teacher hopes that I will find an opportunity to repay the kindness I received from Xing Mei, but since they don't appreciate it, forget it."
"Well, you can save yourself a fight." Jessica.
"However, if M7 is taken away by HER, the road from Mycenae to the earth will be difficult..." Li Youde.
…
"Liangzhu" is a colonial satellite group that is about the same size as Mycenae. The navigation route given by the Star Alliance is just "behind Liangzhu", and the other side is the battlefield. The Osiris was not alone on this route; many ships transporting asylum seekers also sailed here. Lin Ao, who saw these ships waiting on the deck, asked: "Lieutenant, will HER attack the colonial satellites?"
"It used to happen all the time, but it's rarely happened recently. It seems to me that this time HER just wants to seize the waterway and put pressure on the colonial satellite to surrender on its own. If it doesn't work, it will isolate it."
A moment later, the Osiris had sailed out of this channel. Just when Li Youde was about to give the order to leave here at full speed, he heard Anton's request.
"Wait a minute! I think I found something!"
On Anton's monitor, there were strange and unnatural light spots in the nearby planetary belt. His intuition told him that these were definitely not Xingmei things shining. After getting Li Youde's permission, he pulled the trigger on the shining place. The purple laser shot toward the planetary belt. There was no doubt that this shooting frightened the residents and defenders of "Liangzhu". They could see the dazzling laser beam through the transparent part of the satellite with their naked eyes. But what really frightened them was the explosion that followed. This was not the reaction that would occur if someone shot the stone.
"There's something in the planetary belt!"
Anton didn't know about the chaos in "Liangzhu". He shouted and fired two shots in succession towards the planetary belt. The Osiris also pointed its muzzle there. After several rounds of naval guns, the man hiding in the planet The Ying Yang style was used to kill him.
Li Youde stared at the monitor that enlarged the screen and exclaimed: "They are carrying siege rocket launchers! They are a special attack force on the colonial satellites. Don't let them enter the range. Help me contact the defenders here!"
Anton's body trembled when he heard the special attack force. The last time I heard of this kind of troops was in the early days of the war when HER was expanding in every possible way. On the contrary, if a colonial satellite refuses to cooperate with them, HER will send special attack troops equipped with equipment that can destroy the outer wall of the colonial satellite to attack that satellite. At that time, the Covenant did not have humanoid weapons, and it was difficult to intercept these Eagle-type weapons with only fighter jets and battleships. Once they get close to the satellite, the heavy rocket launchers will open holes in the colonial satellite, and the air, residents, and vehicles near the openings will be sucked into the universe. This force will not leave until they have exhausted all their ammunition, and it will take a long time for the colonial satellites to repair the damage they have caused. As a result, many satellites surrendered under this pressure, and those that persisted in not surrendering were also attacked, making it difficult for them to withstand HER's official attack in the future.
"You have all heard it, and you must use all your strength to stop them!"
"yes!!"
All members of Team Z realized that this was no joke. Different from the previous battles, the enemy's target this time was not them and they would actively avoid fighting. Team Z must act like a goalkeeper to guard against anyone who lets the enemy score a goal. Chance.
"Natasha!"
"knew!"
After Anton shouted, Natasha pressed the launch button towards the direction where the enemy plane appeared. The dense barrage blasted the dark space in front of her eyes, which hindered the HER's advance. They bought some reaction time.
Turning back to HER, Commander Heinrich, the commander of HER who was still fighting with the Covenant forces on the front battlefield, was pinching his curvy beard and wondering why he hadn't waited for a response from the special attack force. According to the plan, the special attack force should have created chaos by now, and he could take advantage of the chaos to launch a general attack.
"Captain! The captain of the special attack force is calling!"
"Connected!"
"Colonel Heinrich, I am the captain of the special attack force. I'm sorry that we were discovered!"
"What? How did you do it!"
"For some reason a warship appeared in the attack area. I wanted to wait for them to pass before taking action, but they discovered us! They also have humanoid weapons that can shoot lasers!"
"It's the Osiris..."
"We request a retreat."
"No! The soldiers on the front line are still waiting for you. Even one of you should blow up the satellite for me!"
"Yes!! For the Lin Kingdom!"
Heinrich snorted angrily. Not long ago, his boss Zhuge Daozi said that if he discovered the movements of the Osiris, he would report it, but he did not expect to encounter the Osiris at this juncture.
"It's really strange why Colonel Michiko couldn't attack the Osiris when he encountered it." Heinrich said to himself.
…
"There are three more special attack aircraft!"
"They are about to disperse. Take the initiative to pester them and don't let them go!"
After the smoke and dust from the explosion dispersed, HER's special attack force did not give up, and continued to kill towards Liangzhu amid the barrage of the Osiris. Now Anton decided to bet his luck on the performance of the Ten Swords machine and let Lin Ao and Edward use the high maneuverability of the machine to deal with them. After the two flew off the deck, Natasha fired three missiles in the direction of a special attack aircraft, and the HER pilot easily dodged it. Just when he breathed a sigh of relief, Edward used the blind spot created by the missile explosion to kill him. Before he could react, Edward shot him dead.
Lin Ao chased two enemy planes alone. Seeing the enemies fleeing in two directions, Lin Ao used his characteristic of carrying many weapons to interfere with their movement. One enemy aircraft that focused entirely on dodging Lin Ao's attack was sniped by Anton on the deck, while the other was caught up and shot down by Lin Ao.
"call…"
Anton breathed a sigh of relief, loosened his grip on the sweaty aiming device, took off his helmet and wiped the sweat from his neck.
"It's been a long time since I fought against this kind of troops. I'm so nervous."
…
The news that the special attack force was completely wiped out reached Heinrich's ears. He angrily kicked the adjutant next to him and ordered a retreat with a curse. Without a surprise attack by the special attack force, even if he could seize the M7 route, he would not be able to defend it.
"Damn it, I've been deploying this battle for so long, and it was all messed up by the nosy Osiris!"
He walked back and forth in the captain's room angrily, and thought for a while that he should tell Zhuge Daozi about the news about the Osiris. If he didn't report it, the empire's intelligence department would announce the news. Then wouldn't he lose an opportunity to show off in front of his superiors?
He contacted Zhuge Daozi. In the picture, Zhuge Daozi frowned and seemed to be in a bad mood. Heinrich swallowed. He didn't know whether what he was about to report was bad news or good news for Michiko.
"Colonel Zhuge Daozi! Hello! I am Heinrich, and I discovered the movement of the Osiris! They just appeared near Liangzhu."
"What!? Did you guys fight? Show me the video!"
Heinrich showed the video uneasily. He was worried that Michiko would criticize him for easily killing several Yingyang-types. To his surprise, for some reason Michiko smiled when he saw Juken Unit 2 appearing.
"I understand, thank you for the information. Heinrich, I am currently supervising the final project of HAL. I need you to help me keep an eye on the Osiris, but you are not allowed to attack them!"
"Eh? You're not allowed to attack them?"
"Because I want to sink it myself! Well, if you perform well, I will reward you!"
"yes!"
When the communication ended, Heinrich felt relieved. Although he didn't know why the colonel ordered him not to attack, it was much easier to just follow a ship than to fight.
