Earth Alliance Headquarters.
This huge military base built under the huge pressure from the Mars Weise Empire finally welcomed its first real combat since its construction after Princess Iseliram's global broadcast.
However, in the face of the meteorite attack launched by Yanglu City, even the thick rock walls and a powerful shell made of high-tech materials that could withstand the bombardment of nuclear bombs were still so powerless.
The moment Zazbarum's Yanglu City tore through the sky and landed on the Earth Alliance Headquarters, the earth-penetrating missiles, which were specially designed for underground bunkers and had long been ready to fire, rose into the air on the spot. Amidst the smoke that tore through the cold wind, they rushed into the sky, then turned around and went straight down — — the underground base hidden hundreds of meters underground.
First floor.
Second floor.
Third floor.
… …
The bunker rock formation that the Earth Alliance Headquarters had high hopes for was powerless in the face of the earth-penetrating missiles launched by Yanglu City. It couldn't even meet the performance targets determined at the beginning of the design. The earth-penetrating missiles could only cut through the defense line like melons and vegetables, until they broke through the rock formation and directly launched a bombardment on the underground base of the Earth Alliance Headquarters.
"Boom!!"
The moment the earth-penetrating missiles broke through the rock formation, a burst of violent explosions exploded in the scattered sand and stones, swallowing the citizens and soldiers who couldn't escape in time.
In an instant, the citizens who thought that they could finally wait for the end of the war in the underground base of the Earth Alliance Headquarters suffered heavy casualties on the spot.
The explosions that kept echoing in this underground space baptized the underground space again and again. It also made Iseliram, who survived the rubble, feel both angry and sad.
"Did I do something wrong?"
The white gauze dress was stained by the dust raised by the explosion, and her clean and beautiful hairstyle had become messy.
In the previous global broadcast, her bright eyes also had a trace of uncertainty at this moment.
Especially when Iseliram saw the soldier of the Earth Alliance lying next to her, buried by the rubble collapsed by the explosion, a trace of unbearable pain appeared on her face.
At the moment of the explosion, if the soldier hadn't appeared in time and pushed Iseliram away from the podium, the person buried in the rubble would have been Iseliram.
"Your Royal Highness."
Edellizo, who stood on the side, was far less calm than Iseliram. Just looking at the soldier of the Earth Alliance who was instantly buried alive by the rubble and died tragically, she, who was only 12 years old, could hardly control her hands and feet. She could only force her trembling body to remind Iseliram of the current situation.
"Edellizo. Did I do something wrong? "
His ears were filled with the sounds of explosions that reverberated in the underground space, as well as screams of agony.
There was no need to look,
There was no need to think,
Iseliram already knew what kind of situation her global broadcast had caused.
"No! Your Royal Highness Princess Iseliram did not do anything wrong! It's those bad guys! If it weren't for those bad guys, Weise, Weise would would have signed signed Weise!! "
Even though the petite Edellizo was very scared, she kept cheering for Iseliram.
However, the involuntary trembling voice had already exposed Edellizo's current emotions.
"Is that so?"
Iseliram looked at the soldier of the Earth Alliance who was buried alive by the rubble and silently thanked him.
"Thank you! If it weren't for you, I might have died. Now, I will do what I should do!! "
The moment this sentence sounded in Iseliram's heart, her white gauze dress that was stained with gravel moved, and Iseliram's voice passed into Edellizo's ears.
"Let's go! Edellizo. Now, we have more important things to do. We have to end this war! "
There were deafening explosions in the corridor leading to the dock, but Iseliram's eyes became more and more firm.
"Ms. Euphemia. Could it be that you've seen through everything from the very beginning and predicted that all of this would happen? "
As her footsteps quickened, Iseliram couldn't help but recall the conversation with Euphemia before.
At that time, Iseliram didn't find any clues. At this moment, when Zazbarum dared to attack a member of the Weise Royal Family, Iseliram finally understood what Euphemia wanted to convey to her at that time.
"Sure enough, am I too naive?"
Although Euphemia didn't say it clearly at that time, as long as Iseliram thought about it a little deeper, she would definitely understand. However, at that time, Iseliram only wanted to use her identity as the first princess of the Weise Empire to stop the war.
She never thought that the person who launched the assassination was probably hiding among the orbital Knight who swore loyalty to the Weise Emperor.
"Your Royal Highness! Quick, come here! "
Edellizo, who was behind Iseliram, suddenly had a flash in his eyes, and he quickly pointed to the intersection not far away.
A Hummer happened to be parked there.
Judging from the half-open car door, the driver must have forgotten to close the car door when he was trying to escape from the attack.
"Mhmm. I'm counting on you! Edellizo! "
When Iseliram and Edellizo rushed to the dock at full speed to meet with the battleship Gnacou, Ray Mingkai had already boarded his Arion and stood at the exit of Gnacou.
"Bridge! Open Gnacou, let me go out to cover Deucalion's flight. "
As soon as Ray Mingkai's communication was connected to the bridge, Darzana frowned on the spot.
Isn't Ray Mingkai's reaction too fast?
When everyone was a little flustered by this surprise attack, Ray Mingkai actually boarded Arion and made the next decision?
With this thought in mind, Darzana looked up and looked at Euphemia, who had just returned to her post at CIC.
From her expression, Euphemia must have made corresponding preparations for this surprise attack, just like Ray Mingkai.
"It seems that I still underestimated you! Miss Euphemia, inform Mastan 11 to approve his request. Also, inform Mastan 11 to return to Deucalion as soon as possible under the premise of completing the cover mission. "
"Understood!"
Euphemia nodded and then opened the communication with Ray Mingkai.
"Mastan 11. Attack approved! Please note the return time. "
"Mastan 11, roger! Right. Captain, it's best to contact Princess Iseliram. Maybe she has a way to stop this battle. "
The moment the hatch opened, Ray Mingkai gave a hint.
"Her Royal Highness has a way to stop this battle?"
Darzana was taken aback. Obviously, she didn't have time to think.
“Aldnoah。 Princess Iseliram has the ability to forcibly shut down the Aldnoah reactor. This is the trump card of the Weise Royal Family to balance the orbit Knight. "
Euphemia softly explained Ray Mingkai's plan.
"I see! Contact Princess Ethelam when she is gone. Perhaps, as Mastan 11 said, this battle still needs to be ended by Princess Iseliram! "
"Roger!"
In the roar of the mechanical gears, Deucalion's hatch opened.
But at the same time, it was greeted with a barrage of comments.
It turned out that the moment the penetrating missile tore through the rock layer of the bunker, the landing force of Zazbarum Yanglu City followed behind. Under the lead of the carrier aircraft, they landed in this underground base.
"Ding Ding Ding Ding!"
The assault rifle equipped by the individual soldier couldn't penetrate the armor equipped by Arion. It only created bursts of sparks and meaningless clanks.
"Everyone else, hurry up and find cover."
While Lei Mingkai's warning sounded, Arrion also raised the 50mm submachine gun in his hand and fired at the Mars Vese soldiers hiding behind cover in an advantageous position.
In an instant, the Weise soldiers that created bursts of sparks on Arion's armor were met with Arion's counterattack.
However, Arion's counterattack was ten times more powerful than the Weise soldiers.
"Da Da Da Da Da!"
The shell casings of the 50mm submachine gun were crazily thrown out of the casings. The HE bullets whistled as they pounced towards the bunker. With an incomparably tyrannical posture, they directly set off a series of explosions on the bunker.
In this frenzied bombardment, no matter how well the bunker protected the Weise soldiers, it couldn't fully resist the power of the 50mm submachine gun.
Therefore, in less than a few seconds, when the 50mm submachine gun stopped firing, the Weise soldiers in front of Arion had already suffered heavy casualties.
"Sorry! This is an asymmetrical battle. "
After taking care of the enemies in front of him, Arion jumped down from the battleship Deucalion and landed firmly on the ground.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, Ray Mingkai was alerted.
He subconsciously pulled his right hand back, and Arion, who had just landed, suddenly leaned back and narrowly avoided the anti-armor missile that came from the right.
He didn't secretly rejoice.
The moment the anti-armor missile flew past him and hit the dome in vain, Ray Mingkai raised his right hand, and the 50mm submachine gun in his hand once again created a flower of death that was intertwined with blood and fire.
"Boom!"
At this moment, the anti-armor missile and 50mm submachine gun created an explosion of light, one up and one down. It was dazzling.
In less than a few minutes, the Martian Weise soldiers besieging the battleship Deucalion suffered great losses after the appearance of the Arion piloted by Lei Mingkai. This greatly impacted the morale of the surviving Martian Weise soldiers.
The anti-armor missile that could cause damage to the Iron Cavalry was unable to pose any threat to Arion.
No matter how well the Weise soldiers cooperated, they couldn't hit Arion that was protecting Deucalion.
It was as if its body was full of eyes.
No matter which blind spot the Weise soldiers attacked from, Arion could easily avoid them.
Then …
The Martian Weise soldiers were greeted by the death song played by the 50mm submachine gun.
"Area clearing completed. Safe! "
When a wisp of smoke slowly rose from the 50mm submachine gun's muzzle, the Weise soldiers besieging the battleship Deucalion were all dead.
"Bridge! Have you contacted Princess Iselam? "
After re-checking the surroundings and confirming that there were no survivors, Ray Mingkai asked the bridge again.
"I have contacted her. Princess Iselam is now on her way! "
"Understood!"
The wait didn't last long.
When the roar of a motor came from afar, a Hummer appeared at the intersection monitored by Arion's electronic eyes.
"Deucalion. This is Iselam! I have a plan! Please assist me in completing it! "
When the Hummer appeared, Eseyram's voice was also transmitted to Deucalion's bridge.
However, before Iselam could say her plan, Darzana spoke first.
"Your Highness Princess Ethelam. If you're talking about using your own ability to forcibly shut down Aldnoah, then this plan will be handed over to Deucalion to assist you in completing it!! "
Darzana's unreserved agreement made Iselam stunned for a moment.
But in the next moment, Ethelam found out who had told Darzana about the plan in advance.
"Is it Warrant Officer Lei and Miss Euphemia? Did they already know that I would make such a decision from the beginning? "
Iselam was once again surprised by Ray Mingkai and Euphemia's ability to predict the future.
The process of recovering the Hummer and Deucalion went smoothly.
Without the threat of the pursuers, the warship Deucalion took off without a hitch.
However, the command center of this underground base still could not escape the fate of being captured by Mars' Vese soldiers. Warship Deucalion once again used the main cannon to blast open the dome and rushed out of the underground base to begin the next step of the plan against Zazbarum's Yanglu City.
"Count Zazbarum. The ship is out! "
News of Deucalion's appearance quickly reached Zazbarum's ears as he led his team into the underground base.
"Is that so? Warship Deucalion. What an ominous existence! Hmph. Now, let it be buried with Princess Iselam! "
Zazbarum glanced at the underground base that had been mostly suppressed by his side, then looked at the screen in front of him and looked at the face that he missed.
"Fiana. Attack! Before I return, delay the enemy's attack. I'm afraid that Princess Ethelam is aiming for the Aldnoah Reactor in Yanglu City! "
"Yes! Count Zazbarum! "
