After assigning the tasks, El Erf left with his team. With the participants' invisible storage bars, Ozma and the others turned into a human-shaped arsenal. Moreover, no matter how many firearms they carried, they would not be discovered by anyone and could be used at any time. Who knows how much convenience it would bring to El Erf's mission.
Although large weapons couldn't be stored in the storage bar, there was no need for large weapons in such an operation. At most, there were some rocket launchers and the like. Most of them were standard pistols, rifles, ammunition, grenades, and explosives. Moreover, for the storage bar, things like guns and ammunition could be stacked in one place. The ammunition and weapons in the storage bars of Nalor, Ozma, and the others were enough to support them in a small-scale war.
These weapons and ammunition were all provided by the Anaheim Company's military factory. The weapons and ammunition were transported from the military factory to the transport ship, and then from the transport ship, Nalor, Ozma, and the others put them into the storage bar.
After Elfrid and the others left, Xiao Ran explained the situation of the mission to the newcomers in the training center. He also told them about the situation where they voluntarily signed up. The difficulty of the mission had been explained, so these newcomers had a clearer understanding of the mission. More than 20 newcomers had signed up.
Although this world was the first world these newcomers had participated in, they were now clear about some of the rules of Prometheus. First, the greater the danger, the greater the reward. Since it was such a dangerous mission, there must be a corresponding reward in the mission. Even if it was just destroying the enemy's MS in the process of the mission, it would definitely be a huge reward. The slightly confident members would not let go of such an opportunity.
However, since Xiao Ran said that there would be ten people, then there would be ten people. Since all of them had signed up, Xiao Ran could directly choose from the newcomers' information sorted out by El Erf from the beginning to the end. He directly finalized the top ten newcomers with comprehensive scores judged by El Erf and immediately arranged for them to go to Xiaya's Granada base.
Xiao Ran's approach may disappoint those who were not selected. However, it was understandable that Xiao Ranzhi did this for the sake of their safety. Since this was an extremely difficult quest, it was only natural that the strongest members would have a high chance of surviving the quest. Otherwise, if they couldn't even protect themselves, they wouldn't even be able to obtain high rewards.
The remaining people naturally had something to do. Guyon would lead the remaining people to be active on the Federation's battlefield to complete the mission assigned by the Federation. Although it was also possible that there would be no mission, after all, although Xiao Ran and the others needed to hide their whereabouts and take a detour to a suitable place to wait for the cooperation of the fleet under Xiaya's control. It would take two to three days from start to finish.
But once they entered Guyon's territory and started the operation against Forana, they would have to seize every opportunity to complete it in the shortest time possible. According to Xiaya's estimation, three hours was the limit for transferring work. They would transfer as much as they could within three hours, but the priority was to transfer important technical information and personnel, including researchers and the people being researched.
After the start of the operation against Forana, these people would be heavily encircled and suppressed by Giweng's front army. In other words, they would have to face three hours of high-intensity defensive battle without rest, without any rest in between. Three hours of high-intensity battle may only make some elite ace pilots feel tired, but it wouldn't make them lose the ability to fight.
But after the transfer of defense against Forana was completed, the next step would be to protect the fleet's safety and carry out a breakaway battle. Breaking through Gu Wenjun's encirclement would also be a high-intensity battle, even more difficult than the transfer defense battle. This was because the pilots had to protect the fully loaded fleet during the breakaway process, and they couldn't let the fleet be attacked by Gu Wenjun. The whole process required 100% concentration, and it was impossible to estimate how much time this breakthrough would take, so Xiaya could only reduce the time needed for the transfer work as much as possible, and instead send more people to carry out the transfer work. This would reduce the pressure on the MS pilots.
Among the ten selected people, Bassac's people occupied three positions, and the remaining two people's overall score wasn't low, just a little bit higher than them. Nalor's people only occupied one position. From this, it could be seen that there was a gap between the berserker race and Nalor's people in terms of combat talent.
However, although Nalor's people couldn't be compared to the berserker race in terms of combat, it didn't mean that Nalor's people were necessarily inferior to the berserker race. Compared to the berserker race's single ability, each of Nalor's people had their own different awakened skills, such as Nalor's danger perception, or the berserker's talent that Xiao Ran had heard of before, and so on.
It was just that the talents of the two different races were different in terms of what they were good at. Berserkers were more suitable for head-on combat, and this kind of head-on mission was more suitable for them. On the other hand, Nalor's people were more suitable for more flexible missions, and they were also suitable to serve as support pilots and long-range sniper pilots to assist in combat.
The ten newcomers who could participate in the mission arrived at the Granada base under the arrangement of Xiao Ran. They had all heard about the mission from Xiao Ran before. This time, they couldn't pilot the M1 Heresy that they were used to, so they could only pilot the body prepared by the Granada base for them.
These newcomers naturally came to the Granada base to choose a suitable body for themselves, a row of tigers and space demons. However, compared to Gu Wenjun's standard body configuration, the body configuration in Xiaya's hands was much more varied in terms of weapon configuration.
For example, the Great Demon, which should only have a 360mm large rocket launcher and thermal saber, had a beam rocket launcher for ships, a 120mm machine gun for Zagu II, and a diffuse beam cannon. It wasn't that Guyon didn't prepare these weapon components for the Great Demon. After all, the things in Xiaya's hands were basically obtained from Guyon's side.
It was just that there were many people on Guyon's side, so for convenience and simplicity, the standard equipment for the Great Demon was naturally set. Only some valued ace pilots or elite pilots were eligible to use different equipment. But on Xiaya's side, especially for this mission's special preparation, Xiaya naturally took out all the weapons that the Great Demon could use and let Xiao Ran's subordinates choose.
The increase in the variety of weapons also allowed them to have more combat means during the operation. It also prevented the lack of ammunition due to a single weapon, and the need to return multiple times to resupply. All the newcomer participants uniformly chose the Great Demon as the body to use for this mission. As for the tiger, no one chose it at all.
Basically, there were some differences in the selection of weapons under the decision of these newcomer participants. The main weapon was basically either a 120mm machine gun or a 360mm large rocket launcher. Generally speaking, the 120mm machine gun was chosen more, and the large rocket launcher was chosen less. After all, there was still a beam rocket launcher to choose from. In addition, everyone also chose the diffuse beam cannon.
As for the three Berserkers, because of their own combat skills. They gave up on the beam rocket launcher and only chose the 120mm machine gun as a long-range weapon. There was also the diffuse beam cannon that did not affect too much but could play a great role in close combat. They also chose one more shield than the others, and finally, they either chose one more thermal saber, or changed their close combat weapons to an axe or a long saber. The shield aspect was easy to solve. The warrior's shield was a consumable item, and if there was an extra one, there would be no problem in using it directly. As for the change of close combat weapons, it was even less of a problem.
And there were still about ten hours before the official departure time. Although time was tight, it was completely enough. The newcomers chose their bodies and weapons. While the Granada technicians began to be busy configuring their weapons, the newcomers also seized the time to familiarize themselves with the operation of the other Great Demons, familiarizing themselves with the operation of the weapons and bodies.
The three GN-X were also quietly loaded into the transport aircraft from Anaheim Company and sent to the Granada base. In addition to the three bodies, three metal boxes the size of shipping containers were also sent along with the bodies.
For this operation, Xiao Ran's side only sent three GN-X and manpower, while Xiaya's side booked the rest, including the battleships and even more MS. In nearly ten hours, the Granada base fully prepared everything for the pilots and the marines. Everything needed for the operation was arranged properly.
All the MS had already boarded the ship. All kinds of materials and combat supplies were also transported. As long as they passed the final inspection, they could set off at any time. After such a long time of preparation, El Erf's team was also ready to arrive at the Granada base.
El Erf walked at the front very easily. There was nothing wrong with him at all, but looking at Ozma and the others walking with heavy steps, in fact, there was nothing else on them except for a bag containing Prometheus's pilot uniform and daily necessities. But it gave people the feeling that they were carrying a lot of heavy things on their backs.
Although it couldn't be seen from the outside, the storage slots of the official participants were filled with various explosives, grenades, howitzers, and various different weapons because of El Erf's arrangement. However, two-thirds of the items were things that could explode. Everyone who had a storage slot was the same, without exception.
However, as a staff officer, El Erf naturally wouldn't let everyone carry only combat supplies. He also prepared some medical kits and food.
Although the new participants did not have many storage slots, the fact that they could be stacked was enough to allow the same type of item to carry a lot of things. With so many explosives in the storage slots of Ozma and the other newcomers, it felt like they were pressing on their heads, hugging their chests, or carrying so many dangerous explosives. Of course, they would feel an indescribable pressure in their hearts, causing their expressions and footsteps to be slightly heavy.
This was especially true for Nalor and Ryukino. Although one of them was a follower and the other was a participant, they had known each other for a long time. In the revolutionary world, the two had spent a lot of time together, so they knew quite a lot about El Erf. After seeing El Erf pick so many explosives, they roughly understood what El Erf was thinking.
This guy didn't intend to use only the Zabi Family members to create chaos and reduce the trouble of moving to Flanagan. Instead, he used the entire satellite where the Zabi Family Mansion was located as a huge bargaining chip to threaten Gu Wenjun, who had lost his command. Especially since the satellite where the Zabi Family Mansion was located, where only the privileged class of the Duchy of Guyon lived, this guy planned to use all the higher-ups of the Duchy of Guyon as hostages and bargaining chips.
Fortunately, they were participants and had super cheats like the inventory. That was how they managed to smuggle so many munitions and explosives into the satellite where Zaar's family was located without anyone noticing. Otherwise, based on the amount of munitions each of them was carrying, it would be an impossible task to smuggle them into the satellite without anyone noticing. That was because the amount of munitions they had was simply too large.
It was so huge that if they took it all out, they could directly blow the satellite into pieces.
Xiao Ran didn't know that El Erf had brought so many explosives, so naturally, he didn't know that El Erf was actually planning to wipe out the privileged class of the Guyon Family in one fell swoop. After telling Katyas that they would temporarily leave after this mission to receive a special airframe and welcome the other members of the Resistance Army, they arrived at the Granada base before the operation's departure time and boarded the flagship of the operation fleet.
For this operation, Xiaya had tried to reduce the size of the team as much as possible and used all the pilots above the elite-level, but in fact, it was still about the size of half a standard fleet. The battleships took off from the Granada base, and at the moment when the time reached zero, they officially set off under Xiaya's command and slowly flew towards Guyon.
