"Kacha!! Rumble …. "
Lightning flashed across the dark clouds. As the flashing lightning tore through the darkness that enveloped the rainforest, it also illuminated Noris's solemn expression clearly.
"Colonel. What are you worried about? "
Massad ran back from the battlefield tent under the heavy rain. He didn't even have time to wipe off the rainwater on his hat when he saw Noris' serious face.
"Massad. How's the situation with the sonar? "
Noris didn't answer Massad's question. Instead, he looked at Massad with the same serious gaze and asked slowly.
Massad was stunned. He took off his hat that was soaked by the rain and sighed.
"The situation isn't good. The strong electromagnetic field brought by the thunderclouds and the heavy rain has reduced the effectiveness of the sonar to the point where it can't be used. Now, the only way we can monitor the outside world is to set up the sentries around this hidden stronghold. "
Noris nodded slowly but didn't say anything. However, when he turned his head to look at the dark clouds in the sky, there were also bolts of lightning flashing across them like snakes.
Looking at the dark clouds that covered the sky, Noris knew that the heavy rain wouldn't end in a short period of time.
"Massad. Does Major General Kenias have any instructions? "
Massad muttered to himself and then said:
"Yes! Colonel. The Major General does have instructions, but he still wants us to guard this stronghold until reinforcements arrive. "
"Reinforcements? Reinforcements in this damned weather? "Noris' mouth twitched, but he resisted the urge to curse in the end.
This damned weather not only paralyzed the sonar equipment, it also made the usually muddy roads in the rainforest even harder to walk on.
The huge humanoid MS had already lost the ability to walk in the rainforest in this heavy rain. If they took the risk and forcefully marched in this heavy rain, it would be normal for them to accidentally enter a swamp. What they were most afraid of was encountering the Federation Army and exposing this hidden stronghold.
"Massad."
"Yes!"
Massad who was carefully paying attention to the changes in Noris' expression immediately responded when Noris opened his mouth.
"Can you confirm the situation of the sentries around?"
"Yes!"
Massad hurriedly guaranteed.
"To be on the safe side, we mostly use wired communication when we set up hidden sentries. As long as we activate the corresponding communication line, we will be able to contact the hidden sentries in the surroundings. "
"Wired communication? Hehe. Well done! Go and confirm the situation of all the hidden sentries! Get them to be 200% focused. "Norris nodded approvingly and waved his hand.
"I have a hunch. I'm afraid this damned weather will bring us a lot of trouble. "
Norris Barkard.
The sigh of this man who had been through life and death countless times on the battlefield made Massad's heart tighten subconsciously.
He was afraid that this stronghold would not be peaceful before the storm ended.
"Rumble …"
Under Noris' solemn gaze, a twisted bolt of lightning flashed across the sky, striking down towards the distance.
Actually, in Noris' heart, the safety of this stronghold was not the most important thing. The only thing more important than this stronghold was the X3 engine that Massad mentioned.
"Let's hope we can reach here smoothly!"
Noris couldn't take his eyes off the streaks of lightning streaking across the sky as he sighed to himself.
Under the heavy rain, even the canopy that was usually so dense that sunlight couldn't penetrate it couldn't block the endless rainwater that flowed down from the top of the canopy.
"Tsk! What kind of damned weather is this? Why is it raining so heavily all of a sudden? This weather is far worse than SIDE2's. I've never seen SIDE2 have such heavy rain. "
A new recruit whose collar was unbuttoned was holding a small bucket in his hand. He was constantly filling up the water in the outpost and then pouring it outside. He was angrily cursing the heavens.
"Private. How long have you been in the army? "
Compared to the swearing new recruit, the man with a scar on the left side of his face was much more normal.
According to his resume, this scarred man, who was called "Sergeant" by the new recruit, was one of the first batch of veterans to participate in the landing operations of the Giweng Duchy.
To him, he was already used to the extreme weather changes in the rainforest, so he wouldn't make a fuss about it like this new recruit.
"Sergeant! I'm Giweng's private who was ordered to land on Earth three months ago! "
Hearing the scarred man's words, the new recruit who was pouring water with a small bucket immediately stood up and replied loudly.
However, it seemed that the new recruit had used too much force and accidentally kicked the puddles of water high up into the air, almost drenching the communicator on the table.
The scarred man looked at the water that slid down from the communicator to the table. His mouth twitched a few times, but he still shook his head helplessly.
"Private, don't pour it. Get a rag and wipe it! "
"Yes!"
While the new recruit was looking for a rag in the water that had already reached his heels, the scarred man suddenly noticed that the silent communicator suddenly lit up with a red indicator light.
"Mission."
The scarred man's heart skipped a beat, but before he could pick up the communicator to respond, the new recruit who went to look for a rag suddenly screamed.
"Ah!!"
"What happened? Recruit!! "
The scarred man roared loudly.
Because of the communicator, the scarred man couldn't immediately stand up to look for the new recruit.
"I hope you don't cause any trouble for me."
The scarred man clenched his teeth and finally chose the most important option for the mission.
"This is 03 Silencer."
Picking up the communicator, the scarred man reported a code name and then silently listened to the voice from the other side of the communicator. When the voice stopped, the scarred man spoke again.
"Yes! Now, everything … "
However,
Without waiting for the scarred man to finish speaking, the flustered recruit rushed into the room amidst the splashing of water.
"Huala!"
In the dirty water that was full of fallen leaves, the new recruit with a panicked face laid on the ground and pointed at the corridor outside with his trembling right hand.
The scarred man frowned and shouted loudly.
"What happened? Right now, I'm reporting the situation to the rear! What are you doing? Recruit! "
"Bai … Bai …"
The scarred man's shout didn't make the new recruit come back to his senses. He still pointed outside with a panicked expression, as if there was something terrifying approaching from outside.
"Bai? Bai what? Recruit! If you continue to disturb me reporting the situation to the rear, we'll see! "
The scarred man looked at the corridor that was filled with rain but no one. After reprimanding the new recruit, he turned back and said to the communicator.
"No. It's just that the new recruit isn't used to the weather here. There's nothing unusual! Yes! I'll be more vigilant! Yes! Understood! Then, I'll hang up first! "
"Ta!"
The scarred man put down the communicator, stood up, and walked to the front of the new recruit. He reached out and grabbed the new recruit's collar and lifted him up.
"Recruit! Although the weather here is strange for people born on a colonial satellite, you don't have to be so panicked! Next time, if you do this again, I'll teach you a lesson!! "
"No. It's not! There's really something!! It's Bai … Bai … "
Facing the scarred man's threat, the new recruit shook his head, but the panic on his face was still there.
"Bai? Bai what?! If you talk nonsense again, be careful of me … "
"Boom!"
Before the scarred man finished speaking, the solid concrete dome above his head suddenly exploded violently. In the blink of an eye, the scarred man and the panicked new recruit were swallowed.
In the next second, the huge amount of water brought by the heavy rain rushed down from the huge hole that had just been blasted open by the explosion. It quickly submerged the hidden sentry post in the rainforest in the muddy water mixed with fallen leaves and broken branches.
Next to the gap, two faint arcs of light quietly rotated for a while before disappearing in the heavy rain.
"The third one. Hmph. I didn't expect Kineas to set up so many hidden sentries nearby. In just a short distance of less than one kilometer, there were three hidden sentries. How cautious. "
In front of his eyes was the rainwater that constantly streaked across the screen, and in his ears was the frantic patter of the rain hitting the cold armor.
Ray Mingkai stretched out his hand and nodded on the keyboard. A floor plan marked with dozens of red crosses appeared in front of his eyes.
This was the suspected target discovered during the reconnaissance just now.
However, due to this damned torrential rain, they could only use close contact to eliminate these hidden sentries that were scattered along the path they had to pass through.
"Although it's a bit troublesome, I'm now piloting a Lancelot and not a Marine Gao Da."
Yes.
Previously, Ray Mingkai was able to confidently take on the mission of outflanking the enemy from the small path because of the Lancelot.
After Ray Mingkai came to this world, the Lancelot that was hidden in the rainforest by MACROSS Demoness was activated. This rainforest might not be a stumbling block for Ray Mingkai anymore.
Compared to the 18 meters tall Marine Gao Da, the 4.5 meters tall Lancelot would not be hindered by the dense rainforest. Even the Lancelot equipped with the light wing system could fly over the canopy and reach its destination.
However, this was not Ray Mingkai's purpose.
"More than ten kilometers away from the target, continue forward!"
Lancelot, who was shrouded in the rainstorm, put away the two infrared detectors and quietly disappeared into the darkness.
From this moment on, Lancelot seemed to have become a dark assassin, constantly setting off waves of silent killings in this rainforest.
One,
Two,
Three,
… …
The rumbling thunder drowned out the sound of the hidden sentries being destroyed by Lancelot.
The heavy downpour that covered the sky and earth erased the traces of the hidden sentries' existence.
The only thing that proved that they still existed was the sealed communication line that extended from the depths of the rainforest.
However, even if the rumbling thunder in the sky did not stop, and the rainstorm showed no signs of calming down, the soldiers guarding the communication device still discovered something strange.
"Colonel. There's a situation. " The cold sweat on Massad's forehead was almost like the rainstorm outside the door, constantly dripping down from his cheeks.
"Speak!"
The solemn expression on Norris' face did not fade from the beginning.
"The hidden sentries that we placed outside seem to have lost contact. Right now, we are confirming the situation. However, what we can confirm is that we have lost at least ten of our hidden sentries. "
Upon hearing this news, a cold light flashed across Norris' eyes.
"No need to say anymore! I know! Right now, notify everyone. Everyone, get ready for battle! "
After saying that, Norris did not care about Massad's reaction and walked out of the door in large strides. Braving the heavy rain, he walked towards the Zagu I that he was driving.
"Go … Colonel."
Massad was not stupid. Under Norris' clear command, Massad already knew what he should do.
"Everyone, get ready for battle! The enemy is here! "
Under the command, the entire hidden stronghold moved.
Rain, human figures, and the constantly lit headlights, as well as the huge humanoid weapon that slowly stood up in the heavy rain, became the main theme at this moment.
This movement was naturally discovered by Ray Mingkai who was stealthily nearby.
"Have we been discovered?"
Under the forest, Lancelot turned on the infrared detector on his chest.
At this distance, Lancelot's infrared detector was able to directly observe the movement of this hidden stronghold.
Especially when the Land Type Zagu I was activated, it emitted an astonishing amount of heat. The heat was like a small sun on the infrared detector, making it impossible for people to ignore its existence.
"One, two, three. Three Zagu I? Hehe. Seems like the military strength of this hidden stronghold is not small! "
With a rough look, other than the three brightest figures, there were more than ten figures that looked like armored vehicles, as well as hundreds of people running around.
Looking at the Land Type Zagu I that was already activated and gathered together, Ray Mingkai muttered to himself for a moment. After looking up at the heavy rain that was still not subsiding, he came to a conclusion in his heart.
"Weng!"
The high-speed rotation of the guide wheel caused high splashes as it pushed Lancelot into the shadows of the forest.
"Colonel! The battle preparations are complete! Please give the order! "
Norris casually placed his wet clothes to the side and silently looked at the image on the screen. He did not immediately reply to Massad's request.
After a while, Norris opened his mouth and gave the first order.
"Everyone, disperse the formation and surround the stronghold to defend!"
"Yes! Colonel! "
Under Norris' command, the three Land Type Zagu I split up and led the armored vehicles to the triangle of the stronghold. They firmly controlled the best position to attack the stronghold.
However, as time passed by, the enemy that Norris expected did not seem to show any signs of appearing.
