Before the sun had completely risen, everyone in the camp had already opened their eyes and started to get busy. Although the new participants who were used to the real life of war did not wake up late, most of them were still very uncomfortable with the environment. Compared to the White Fortress in space, they had independent rooms, clean toilets, and professional chefs to prepare meals for them. But now, they did not even have a place to wash up, and the clean water source was not for them to wash up with.
It was Xiao Ran's first time enjoying breakfast in such an environment. In every mission, Xiao Ran was always provided with good food and drinks. Even in the newbie world of the Gundam SEED world, except for the period of time in the Archangel which was a little more difficult, the food and drinks were basically arranged by someone else. This time, looking at the canned food roasting on the bonfire, Xiao Ran blinked his eyes and smiled bitterly at the yellow lump inside the canned food.
However, after experiencing so many things and different environments, Xiao Ran's ability to adapt was quite good. In fact, although the canned food did not look good, it smelled pretty good. The Earth Federation did not mistreat these low-level soldiers in this aspect.
El Erf calmly used a pair of tongs to hold the canned food, and calmly put it into his mouth with a spoon. After seeing Xiao Ran's expression, he also understood Xiao Ran's meaning, so he said, "It tastes pretty good."
"Since you said so, it seems that I have to try it." Xiao Ran smiled, picked up a shelf by the fire, and picked up the canned food leaning against the fire, stirred it twice, and fed himself a mouthful. The taste in his mouth and the smell were not much different. Xiao Ran also nodded, "It tastes pretty good, completely different from what it looks like."
Elelv said calmly, "That's how military rations usually look like. It's also for the convenience of storage. However, the taste and nutrition are also specially prepared. Even if it's compressed food, it can still satisfy a soldier's daily energy consumption."
"Okay." Xiao Ran nodded, finished the food in a few bites, and took out the communicator and handed it to Xiao Ran. The latter glanced at Xiao Ran, took the communicator, and opened it directly. After seeing the content, he looked at Xiao Ran, "The exact time. The location and route are within the range of Gu Wenjun's position. Do you want us to attack these places? However, there are two coordinates that are very far away. We must split up to attack at the specified time. "
El Erf never acted unprepared, so he had already memorized the map and coordinates of all the nearby areas in his mind and tablet. He saw a few coordinates and understood the meaning behind them.
"Well, you plan." Xiao Ran and said, "The team will be divided into four teams. You, Ryukino, and Nalor will each lead a team. There's no need for too many people to go. It's enough. "
Xiao Ran said and thought of what Guyon had said. Guyon's side was already planning to target him. He couldn't help but slightly narrow his eyes. "I will lead the Skeleton Squad to specifically target Gu Wenjun's trump card. Dugus and Gramsci will lead the rest of the people to help the Earth Army stabilize the battlefront. Without my order, they are not allowed to rashly advance. Also, remind the others to pay more attention today. If the situation is not right, immediately retreat. "
El Erf nodded. "Yesterday's action was not only noticed by the Federation. Yesterday, we caused such a big loss to Gu Wenjun. Today, they will definitely start to target us. I will tell them to pay attention. In addition, if we don't end the battle today, with our heretical weapons standards, Jim's weapons and ammunition will not be able to be used, and our own supplies are about to run out. "
"The completion rate is already 40%. When the completion rate reaches 60%, Guyon's side may announce a retreat. We should be able to finish it today after sending the newcomers back. We will continue to complete the mission to 100%. "
Xiao Ran stretched and stood up, walking towards the direction where the MS was parked. Xiao Ran's movement caused all the surrounding participants to also stand up, and soon they stood together in a neat formation. Xiao Ran glanced at everyone and nodded slightly. "El Erf, Ryukino, and Nalor, each select a team member. Today, you will act separately. El Erf will tell you the target of the operation."
"Skeleton Squad will act with me today and continue to snipe Gu Wenjun's trump card team."
"Dugus. Gramsci, you will lead the rest of the people. Today's mission is only to stabilize the Federation Army's attack line. Remember, your action today is only to support and not the main force. Any Federation Army's orders can be ignored without my permission. "
"Yes."
El Erf and the other two who were called immediately began to select their own team members. El Erf and the other two also selected four people from the crowd, forming a five-person team and sitting in their own MS.
Captain Jeffrey, who was not far away, did not follow the young man. Instead, he slowly exhaled a puff of white smoke from his big pipe. There was also a circle of people sitting around him, including Millay and Frau, who were brought from the universe. There were also technicians and support personnel sent by the Anaheim Corporation for this battle, as well as the pilots of the transport spacecraft.
In yesterday's battle, Captain Jeffrey personally piloted the Mech into battle. However, he had abandoned piloting the Mech for so many years, and he was not young anymore, so he decided not to continue fighting personally. Once the Mission Completion Rate reached 60%, the Mission Completion Rate would be completed. He did not need to do anything himself to complete the Mission Completion Rate, so it was better for him to return to his old profession and lead the transport fleet behind to fight.
Seeing that Xiao Ran and the others did not seem to need the transport fleet today, Captain Vry stood up and looked in the direction of the battlefield. After pondering for a while, he turned around and said, "There's nothing for us to do today. There's no need for logistics teams like us to stay on the frontline. Everyone, move out. We're retreating."
Just as Jeffree was getting his men to prepare for departure, the MS fighter jets began to take off and fly toward their respective targets. Only Xiao Ran and the members of the Skeleton Squad stayed behind for the time being. They waited for the transport fleet to leave before piloting the MS fighter jets to take action.
Half an hour later, Arte was sitting in his Airframe, feeling a little baffled. Xiao Ran had not told them what they were going to do, nor had they lifted off to a certain place. He had also ordered everyone to shut down all communications except for the team. Sitting in the cockpit, the Airframe moved on its own, aimlessly heading to an unknown place. Arte was not sure where he was going.
Compared to Arte's confusion and boredom, the rest of the Skull Squad was very calm. They just quietly followed behind Xiao Ran, who was the leader of the MS helicopter. The little boy Luca was also constantly paying attention to the detection equipment on the MS helicopter. He did not relax at all to monitor the situation around him.
"Um … Mr. President, are we going to carry out some special mission?" After waiting for a long time, Arte finally couldn't help but ask out of curiosity and boredom.
Arte's voice suddenly sounded in the communication channel, which had been silent for a long time. The oppressive atmosphere eased a little. However, everyone in the team had different expressions on their faces. Michelle rolled her eyes helplessly, Luca covered his mouth and laughed secretly, Brera shook his head with a cold expression, and Ozma sighed.
Xiao Ran heard Arte's voice and chuckled, "You can't help it."
"Ha." Arte laughed awkwardly.
Xiao Ran said with a smile, "Yesterday, I learned from Mr. Xiaya that Guyon has mobilized elite troops to form a special team to deal with us. At this time, El Erf and the other teams should have already appeared in Guyon's eyes. However, their targets can retreat without wasting too much time, so the team formed to deal with us definitely won't be able to catch them."
"Although we are heading towards a remote place where there are no battles, we have already entered Gu Wenjun's sphere of influence a long time ago. We can be considered the front of the team. Do you think Guyon and the Federation don't have any people in this place where there are no battles? We should have already entered Gu Wenjun's sight. Maybe many of Gu Wenjun's troops have already rushed over to annihilate our team."
"We are the bait?" Arte immediately understood what Xiao Ran meant, "Mr. President, you want us to be the bait to let the other teams complete their mission safely?"
Xiao Ran nodded and said, "Although this is part of the consideration, the real reason is to choose a suitable battlefield to annihilate the trump card team formed by Guyon and complete the third main mission."
Arte nodded, a serious look flashing in his eyes.
At this moment, Xiao Ran's Mech suddenly stopped. Arte instantly became alert. The Mech raised its weapons, but Xiao Ran's next words made the corners of Arte's mouth twitch unconsciously.
Xiao Ran glanced at the route on the civilian map and steered his Mech to change direction, "We have been moving in a straight line for so long. If we continue moving forward, we may fall into the enemy's trap. Let's change direction and continue moving forward, forcing the enemy to encounter us."
