The fleet had arrived long before Xiao Ran's mission deadline of three days. This gave Xiao Ran time to make arrangements and also time to deal with the advance fleet. The reconnaissance team had been sent out. First, to check if there were any suspicious situations in the surrounding star field. Second, to search for the wreckage of Fleet 117.
Xiao Ran looked at the storage device brought by Adjutant Perry alone. In fact, there wasn't much in it. It was just a video recording of the meeting with the participants. Of course, it also included what happened between the man named Roger and the woman named Lucy.
After watching the video recording bit by bit, Xiao Ran was surprised to find that when the participants said certain words, a noise would appear in the video recording, completely covering up the words the participants said. It was impossible to hear what the participants said at all. However, although Xiao Ran, who was also a participant, could only hear the noise on certain words, he could still determine what the participants were saying.
It was nothing more than battle achievement points, Prometheus, main mission, side mission, and other information about Prometheus were all covered up. Judging from the way these people spoke without any hesitation, it seemed like their battle achievement points weren't deducted at all.
But after giving it some thought, he roughly understood what was going on. After all, the surveillance equipment was only installed in the dormitory. It was completely unmanned. Besides, Xiao Ran had seen the video recording, and no one else had seen it under his orders. Naturally, there was no such thing as revealing information about Prometheus to the people in this world.
But Xiao Ran was suddenly curious. If it wasn't just a machine that monitored the participants but a human, what would the people in this world hear from the participants?
Xiao Ran touched the listening device behind his ear, deleted the video recording, and crushed the storage device. "Roger, Lucy, we have to pay more attention to these two people. But Roger actually found out that there's something wrong with me. Sure enough, these participants can't be underestimated. Even if there are some stupid ones, there are also smart ones. But you want to see if there's anything wrong with me? I can give you this opportunity, heh. "
Xiao Ran turned around and walked back to the bridge. He found Moses, who was preparing to head to Gaul's 4th vanguard base with Shirley, Lu, and Orchid. Moses arrived at the bridge. Xiao Ran asked directly, "Did you bring the receiver for the listening device on me?"
"Yes." Moses nodded and took out a small earring.
"Yes." Xiao Ran nodded and said, "From now on, it's on 24 hours a day."
"Ah?" Moses looked at Xiao Ran in surprise and asked in puzzlement, "But Sir, can't I hear your every move?"
"I'm fine." Xiao Ran waved his hand and looked at Gaule 4 floating in space through the big screen in the bridge. He said, "Are Sherry Dew and Orchid ready?"
"Yes, we're ready. We can go down at any time. But sir, are you really going to let the two ladies sing in the advanced fleet base? Won't it be too dangerous? "
"There will be some danger, but it'll be more dangerous if we don't deal with these rebels." Xiao Ran shook his head. "The rebels have taken control of the base's armory. There are some very dangerous things in there."
Xiao Ran thought of the things in the armory that were more powerful than ordinary nuclear bombs — large reaction warheads — and felt a headache coming. If they didn't deal with this matter properly and the rebels detonated it, the consequences would be severe.
Xiao Ran shook his head and looked at Commodore Perry. "Commodore Perry, contact the vanguard fleet on Gaul 4. We will send a team to protect Sherry Dew as she descends."
Commodore Perry smiled and nodded. He asked someone to contact the vanguard fleet and smiled at Xiao Ran. "I'm also looking forward to the performance of the two singers."
Xiao Ran stood up. "I'll go down too. Prepare two VF-25s for me. There should be some on this ship, right? Also, block all information about my body. Issue a gag order to the entire ship. Don't mention anything about me and my body. Also block the news of my departure. "
"Okay, got it." Commodore Perry also stood up.
"Also, send five fighter squads to protect us." Xiao Ran touched his ear and smiled. "Tell S.M.S.'s skeleton team to come and report with the mecha. Also, tell the people on that ship to prepare to protect us as we descend to Gaule 4."
Commodore Perry nodded and said, "We got the results from the technicians. Those people's bodies don't seem to have the ability to enter and exit the atmosphere alone. Will there be any problems? "
"That's true …" Xiao Ran frowned and said, "In that case, forget it."
"Lastly …" Xiao Ran turned to look at Gaul 4 on the big screen on the bridge and narrowed his eyes. "The MANF-class battleship of Investigation Team 117 is also on that planet. Find it in the shortest time possible. I'm guessing that the bugs' habitat should be near that battleship."
Commodore Perry's eyebrows twitched. He turned to look at Gaul 4 on the big screen. "I got it. If the singers' singing really makes those bugs come out, we need to be prepared for war."
"I'll leave this to you, Commodore Perry." Xiao Ran nodded to Commodore Perry and said, "After I leave, you'll be in charge of commanding the battle."
"Yes, sir."
After the two saluted each other, Xiao Ran took Moses and left the bridge. He said to Moses, "You pilot a fighter as well. Just equip it with a loudspeaker pod. When the time comes, let Sherry Dew sit in your fighter. If anything goes wrong, take Sherry Dew and leave immediately."
"Yes, sir." Moses knew that Xiao Ran was thinking about her and Sherry Dew's safety. He also knew how good Xiao Ran's piloting skills were, so he didn't raise any objections and directly agreed.
Ten minutes later, Xiao Ran also changed into a pilot's suit and a mask and appeared in the warship's hangar. At this time, the five members of the Skeleton Squad were all present. Including Brera, they all held their helmets and stood next to 20 commanders and mecha pilots who were also preparing to attack. Moses also wore a pilot's suit and stood next to Sherry Dew and Orchid.
Xiao Ran looked at everyone present and saluted them. After everyone saluted Xiao Ran, Xiao Ran nodded and said, "The mission this time is not to fight. Our goal is to quell the rebellion of the vanguard fleet on Gaul 4 and take back the occupied armory. However, before the singers start singing, no one is allowed to attack without my order. Your mission is to protect the fighter that the singers are on."
Everyone replied loudly after Xiao Ran finished speaking, "Yes, sir!"
Xiao Ran looked in the direction of the Skeleton Squad and said, "Michelle, your mecha is equipped with a sound amplifier pod. Orchid will take your mecha and land on Gaul 4."
Michelle replied loudly, "Yes, sir."
"Brera, follow Michelle's mecha and protect her."
Brera nodded calmly and said, "Roger."
Xiao Ran looked at the time and waved his hand lightly. "That's all. Get ready. We'll set off in five minutes."
The group of pilots immediately spread out and got into their own mecha. The mechas of the United States Army were all the same VF-17. There were only some slight differences in the models. Brera was piloting the black VF-25 that Xiao Ran had used before, while Xiao Ran and Moses were piloting the mass-produced VF-25 model.
Five minutes later, 20 soldiers of the United States Army were the first to attack, followed by the four members of the Skeleton Squad other than Michelle, including Brera. After he joined S.M.S., he was already a member of the Skeleton Squad. Next was Xiao Ran. The last to attack were Moses, who was carrying Sherry Dew, and Michelle, who was carrying Orchid.
More than 20 mechas gathered together and flew towards Gaul 4, leaving a long trail behind them.
Xiao Ran piloted the VF-25 mass produced fighter and flew into the gravitational range of Gaule 4 together with the other fighters and gradually began to descend. Although Xiao Ran could feel that the body of the fighter was shaking a lot, there were no problems with the control of the fighter due to the vibration of the body itself. Moreover, after entering the atmosphere, he quickly controlled the body of the fighter without any problems from beginning to end.
"It's also a C-grade mecha, but in MS, even if it's a Gundam, there are really too few mechas of the same grade that can descend into the atmosphere without any damage. At least, the Sacred Lightning Shield and the Dark Heresy can't do it." Xiao Ran controlled the VF-25 mecha that was not damaged due to the descent. He sighed in his heart. "The advantage of a shapeshifting mecha is also very obvious."
"We've almost arrived at the forward base of the advance fleet. Major Ogete of the 33rd Division Marine Corps has sent a message, welcoming us to Gaul 4. He hopes that we won't all enter the forward base to avoid causing misunderstandings."
Listening to Luca's voice in his ear, Xiao Ran nodded and ordered, "Michelle, Moses, Brera, and I will head to the forward base. The rest of the mechas, maintain a distance and hover nearby."
"Nora Team, roger."
"Prius Team, roger."
"Skeleton Team, roger."
…
The formation of more than 20 mechas split into six. They spread out and did not head towards the forward base. Instead, they circled around the area of the forward base. Under the escort of Xiao Ran and Brera, they quickly arrived above the forward base. Through the monitor screen, Xiao Ran could see that the team waiting below was clearly divided into two sides, guarding against each other. However, one side looked very disciplined, while the other side was very undisciplined. They gathered in groups of two or three with their weapons raised. Most of them also raised the weapons in their hands and pointed them at Xiao Ran's four mechas.
"Michelle, Moses, turn on the loudspeaker pods." Xiao Ran connected the two mechas at the same time. Looking at the four avatars that appeared on the screen, Xiao Ran smiled slightly. "Sherry Dew, Orchid, the song of the Milky Way starts from here. Your songs can bring peace and the future. Start singing!"
