"Boom!"
A spark suddenly exploded in the sky above the rainforest that had just escaped from the ravages of the rainstorm.
It was a Lugen tactical reconnaissance aircraft.
Not long after the Lugen 2 left, the Lugen 1 that was preparing to scout from another direction was suddenly blasted into smithereens by a missile that came from the dense rainforest below.
The battle had begun.
Ina immediately increased the altitude of Apusaras to avoid being hit by the missiles launched by the enemy hidden in the rainforest below.
"Enemy attack? As expected, the Federation Army has discovered our hidden stronghold! In addition to the combat helicopters, the Dora transport aircraft followed Apsalas up. Quick! "
Fortunately, Apsalas was high enough to give him enough time to pull up in the face of the threat from the rainforest.
What's more, the moment the attack happened, the pilots of the combat helicopters reacted quickly and fired a barrage of bullets at the location of the missile in order to buy time for Apsalas to pull up.
"Tsk! They're really fast! "
Elidoya from the eighth squad cursed in annoyance.
Elidoya had only informed Sandas to launch the missile after he had made the right decision.
He did not expect the enemy to react so quickly.
It was as if the enemy was prepared to retreat at any time from the beginning.
"Captain! What do we do now? "Sandas was a little uncomfortable after missing the first shot, but he still asked.
"Let's get rid of those annoying flies first! Captain Leonte! "
"Yes! Spread out, one to lure the enemy, two to ambush. Hide your tracks well! " Leonte glanced at Apsalas who was gradually rising. He knew that it was impossible to fight this big guy today.
If the enemy retreated so decisively, they would definitely not land again.
"Yes!"
At this time, not far away.
Lancelot, with its wings of light spread out, shuttled through the rainforest that dripped with water from time to time like a ghost.
It stopped on the canopy and turned on the infrared detector to scan the surrounding situation, and turned to look at Apsalas who was gradually rising in the sky.
"Has the encounter begun? Looks like this Apsalas is just a temporary truck driver, right? "
Lei Mingkai couldn't help but ponder as he watched Apsalas, who was surrounded by several Doras, once again fly toward the gradually thinning dark clouds above his head.
Even Ray Mingkai could not help but hesitate after seeing Apsalas pull up so decisively, let alone Leonte and Amada Shiro.
The mysterious cargo that Apsalas came to pick up, was it really not worth the risk for Apsalas to stay?
In fact, the gradually rising Apsalas seemed to indicate that this guess might be correct.
"Forget it. Let's search around here first! "
No matter what, since Lancelot had already been used, it was best to make full use of Lancelot's ability to freely travel through the dense tropical rainforest as much as possible.
"Beep!"
Suddenly, an image appeared on the infrared detector's screen.
From the thermal imaging, it should be an armored vehicle.
"Armored? If it's not from the Federation, then it should be Zeon's. "
The only ones who could move about in this rainforest were either the Federation or Ji Weng. As for the armed natives, they could not afford to feed a gas guzzler like an armored vehicle.
Lancelot retracted the light wings on his back. Amidst the splashing of water, Lancelot completed a beautiful landing.
Then, Lancelot raised his left arm, and the hook on his forearm popped out and pierced into the trunk of the tree next to him. At the same time, it also pulled Lancelot up.
In the next second, Lancelot once again alternated between using the guide wheel and the hook to quickly move in the rainforest. He quickly rushed toward the target that seemed to be an armored vehicle.
"Colonel. Are you okay? "
In the previous battle, Massad had not piloted a Land Type Zagu II. Instead, he had sat in an armored vehicle and brought two Land Type Zagu IIs to rescue Noris.
What he didn't expect was that this method allowed him to escape a calamity.
When Lancelot was fighting with the two Zagu I's, Massad mysteriously hid the armored vehicle carrying him and watched the whole process of Lancelot killing the two Zagu I's.
After Lancelot left, Massad, who was still in shock, quickly called the driver of the armored vehicle to rescue Noris from the half-paralyzed Zagu I.
Fortunately, after being rescued, Noris did not pursue Massad's responsibility. Instead, he urged Massad to contact Apsaras and the escort force of the so-called X3 engine.
Therefore, while contacting Apsaras and the escort force of the X3 engine, Noris, Massad, and the others tried their best to get closer to the approximate location of the escort force.
However.
Unfortunately, Noris, who was lucky enough to escape from the Scythe of the Grim Reaper, did not have the luck of surviving a disaster. Instead, he encountered Lancelot once again.
However, Noris did not expect this to happen.
"Buzz!"
A beam of light appeared out of nowhere and hit the half meter deep water in front of the armored vehicle.
"Boom!"
The water splashed several meters high, and the mud mixed in the water covered the front windshield of the armored vehicle. The driver, whose vision was blocked, panicked and ran into a big tree next to him.
"What's going on! What are you doing?! "
Massad, whose head was bleeding from the violent collision, did not even have time to hold his fallen eye as he cursed.
"Shut up! We're being watched! "
Noris took a deep breath.
"Let's get out! They don't want to kill us now. "
Once he got out of the car, Noris was stunned.
There was no one outside, and there was no MS as Noris imagined.
It was as if the collision of the armored vehicle was caused by the driver's carelessness.
However, Noris had clearly heard the sound of a huge explosion.
Looking back, the front of the car that had crashed into the tree trunk was still covered in mud.
It was not a place that could be hit by the mud when driving normally.
After looking around, Noris turned around and asked Massad.
"How far are we from our destination?"
Massad just took out a handkerchief and covered the wound on his forehead. He looked around and shook his head slightly.
Seeing this, Noris returned to the car and looked at the driver who was trying to restore the armored vehicle to normal.
The driver, who was trying to restart the armored vehicle and leave this place as soon as possible, shouted with sweat dripping down his forehead.
"Colonel. I need some time. "
Noris nodded.
"Go do it!"
At this moment, Noris was anxious, but he did not show much emotion on his face. But the anxious Noris did not know that he had once again dodged the scythe of the Grim Reaper.
The explosion just now was undoubtedly from the VARIS rifle in Lancelot's hands.
But, when Lancelot fired the first bullet to force the armored vehicle to stop, Lancelot's infrared detector seemed to have discovered some new targets.
After weighing the pros and cons, Ray Mingkai decided to let go of the poor armored vehicle and moved further ahead.
While moving quickly, Ray Mingkai was even more surprised to see that Apsalas, which should have risen above the clouds, was actually showing signs of descending again.
"Could it be that cargo?"
In an instant, Ray Mingkai connected the dots.
After thinking carefully, Ray Mingkai could not help but increase the speed of Lancelot. He even opened the light wings again and flew like lightning in the rainforest.
"Signal confirmed. Identity confirmed. It is indeed what Major General Kenias wants. Send out a Dora transport plane. Apsalas is in charge of guarding. "
After many attempts, Ina finally managed to contact the escort team that was supposed to transport the X3 engine to the secret base, but was blocked by the heavy rain on the way.
Looking from the sky, the road ahead had been completely blocked by the flood. The only feasible solution was to use the accompanying Dora transport plane to load the cargo and return to the base as quickly as possible.
Apsalas, on the other hand, had become a cover for the X3 engine due to Ina's decision.
She had reason to believe that as long as any Federation army saw Apsalas' huge body, they would all focus their attention on him. Therefore, the Dora transport plane would also quietly send the X3 engine back to the base under Apsalas' cover.
Moreover, when the Dora transport plane began to descend, there was some noise, but the general meaning of the communication could be heard clearly in the internal communication channel.
"This … this … this is Noris Barkard! Who is commanding the Gion Army over there! Please answer me! Right now, you are sending yourself to death! Tell me, who do you belong to! "
"Noris Barkard?!"
Hearing this somewhat chaotic and unfamiliar male voice, Ina was suddenly stunned, but she quickly remembered that Kenias mentioned a certain guard that was specially assigned to her.
And this guard's name was Noris Barkard.
"Colonel Noris Barkard, right? I am Ina Sakhalin! I am currently carrying out the mission of recovering the X3 engine, please assist me! "
After confirming the other party's identity, Ina immediately felt a surge of confidence in her heart. Perhaps, she should be able to successfully complete this recovery mission.
But what Ina didn't know was that after she revealed her identity, Noris, who was struggling to get out of the armored vehicle that was submerged in the one-meter-deep flood, was also looking at Apsalas in the sky with a face full of surprise.
"Ina? Ina Sakhalin?! "
"Colonel. That is Major General Kenias' sister, Ina Sakhalin! I didn't expect this beautiful lady to personally come to carry out the mission! "
Massad's voice came out from the armored vehicle.
It didn't matter if he didn't say it, but when Massad said it, Noris' heart tightened.
"Miss Ina! Leave this area immediately. Leave this to us! "
After Noris quickly issued his warning, he decisively recounted everything that had happened to them in the shortest and most concise manner possible.
"What? A small MS? How is that possible? "
The small MS that Noris mentioned was less than five meters, no, it could already be described as a super small MS. In the eyes of Ina, the test pilot, it was simply impossible.
Not to mention, Ina herself had a genius brother, Kenias, as the backing of knowledge. Therefore, under the familiar rules of the MS, Ina didn't believe that there would be an MS that was less than five meters in this world.
At least, there wouldn't be one yet.
"Massad. The escort team should be escorted by Zagu, right? "
Noris silently put down the communicator, and after a moment of silence, he returned to the cabin and asked Massad while looking at him.
"Yes! There should be! But, with the current situation, I'm not sure, and I can't guarantee that the escort team's strength is still intact. "
The uncertainty in Massad's tone didn't dispel Noris' plan at this time, but instead made him more determined.
"Full speed ahead! Find the escort team as soon as possible before Apsaras is attacked. Now, I need a Zagu! "
Next, the search process was smooth.
As long as Noris and the others slightly raised their heads, they could see the Dora transport plane slowly descending, and using it as a target, they quickly approached their destination.
In the end, under the continuous wailing of the heavily damaged armored vehicle that even began to leak water, Noris and the others finally met up with the escort team when the Dora transport plane slowly landed on a flat area that wasn't flooded yet.
"Quick! Give me that Zagu! Then, prepare as many high explosive bombs as possible! "
As soon as he jumped out of the car, Noris waved his hand and shouted his order loudly. He then took the Land Zagu I that was squatting not far away.
Although the soldiers of the escort team were somewhat confused, after seeing the logo on Noris' collar and chest, they began to prepare.
Meanwhile, the pilot whose Mech Body was snatched away by Noris also stood up straight. After giving Noris a military salute, he simply turned around and left.
"Colonel! Do you still want to fight that White Demon?! "
Massad, who was one step behind, saw Noris once again walking towards the Land Zagu I, and immediately rushed up to try to stop Noris.
"Yes! I want to settle the score with that White Demon! "Noris' voice was very hoarse, but it was full of fighting spirit.
"You know, my previous failure wasn't for nothing! Massad. Maybe, I've already found the weakness of that White Demon! "
Noris looked up at Apsaras that was still hovering in the sky.
At this moment, Noris, who had already calmed down, guessed Ina's intention. Then, on the first day of his job, and as Ina Sakhalin's guard, Noris felt that he had to be in the most perfect state on the first day of his job.
"Hum! Hum! Hum! "
The Land Type Zagu II's nuclear furnace let out a series of low humming noises. Several rays of light lit up in front of Noris' eyes, and the scenery outside was reflected in his eyes.
Then, under Noris' control, the Land Zagu I that had a new owner picked up the 120mm machine gun filled with high explosive bombs and stood up from the flood, and once again walked towards the rainforest in front of it.
Noris didn't know where the White Demon would be, but he knew that as long as Apsaras was flying in the sky for a minute, then the White Demon would inevitably appear in front of him.
"Come on! White Demon! This time, let me see if the Grim Reaper's scythe will still come for me! "
