"Jiu Long! How … how is this possible? "
Andrew, who had been standing behind Tessa, was stunned when he heard the name. However, his excellent military discipline and mentality allowed him to stabilize his state of mind. After glancing at everyone present, he maintained a calm appearance and chose to remain silent.
Of course Andrew knew Jiu Long. Both parties were extremely familiar with each other and even had a deep hatred. Previously, Andrew saw Xiangliang Sosuke send a bullet into his head in fact. Now that he heard about Jiu Long, Andrew felt like he was dreaming for a moment.
However, anything could happen on the battlefield. It was not unusual for people who were shot in the head to survive on the battlefield. Therefore, after a short moment of blindfolding his head, Andrew completely accepted this fact and adjusted his mentality.
Marl Amit, the person in charge of the intelligence department, remained silent for a moment. After glancing at Andrew, he asked Xiao Ran. "What about this man named Jiu Long?"
"He ran away." Xiao Ran shrugged his shoulders and said. "In that situation, after all, the other party's body only crashed. Unlike the Barbarian I was piloting, the other party chose to run away after exchanging blows with me. I couldn't pursue him alone in that situation."
Xiao Ran's words made everyone nod their heads. The Barbarian's situation wasn't good at that time. Not to mention both of its legs were broken, it was obvious that it fell from a high altitude. Without any cushioning, the cockpit would also be greatly shaken. The pilot must have suffered a great impact as well. Moreover, in a chaotic battlefield, it wasn't a wise choice to pursue lightly.
But no matter what, they didn't know that after Xiao Ran taught Jiu Long a lesson, he allowed Jiu Long to leave on his own. If Jiu Long didn't continue to cause trouble for Mithril, Xiao Ran wouldn't have had the opportunity to make Mithril owe him more favors and continue the plot.
Xiao Ran and the people from Mithril talked for more than two hours in Tessa's office, which laid a good foundation for this cooperation. They also gained the basic trust of Mithril and achieved the first step of their plan successfully. Xiao Ran also agreed to temporarily join Mithril's action force if necessary to help them with some difficult tasks. He also received the gratitude of Mithril.
After that, the people from Mithril left Xiao Ran, El Erf, and Law alone. After returning to the lounge specially prepared for Xiao Ran, Law was completely relaxed, much more relaxed than when he was in the office.
After all, after Law joined Mithril, he really didn't have anyone to talk to. He had to maintain the necessary caution at all times, which could be regarded as a way to relax his tense nerves.
Lying on the small bed in the lounge with a relaxed face, Law held his head and said easily, "This cooperation is settled, I won't be so tired over there in the future. I'm afraid that it will affect your actions here. Can we start the manufacturing plan of the transformation fighter directly now?"
"Almost." Xiao Ran looked at Law's appearance and shook his head with a smile. He sat on the chair and nodded. "After you go back, you can give them more things, such as PS Armor, Thermonuclear Energy Engine, SWAG Energy Armor, and other technologies that can be used. Directly use all these technologies on the Hell King, completely transform the Hell King, and completely analyze and learn the Lambda Driver technology." Xiao Ran looked at Law's appearance and shook his head with a smile.
"And it's best to promote them to create new types of airframes with these technologies, mass-produce them as soon as possible, and then fit them into the entire Mithril."
"King of Hell, your spoils of war. Good, good, good. When the time comes, I'll give you a better body." Law looked at the ceiling and sighed leisurely, "Hey, it's just that I'm going to be busy again in the next period of time."
Xiao Ran smiled slightly and reminded him, "But you don't have much time. Whether it's the transformation of the Hell King, the mass production plan of the new Mithril airframe, or the manufacturing of the transformation fighter, you have to do it all at the same time. You only have two months at most."
"Two months!" When Law heard Xiao Ran's words, he bounced up instantly as if his buttocks were on fire. He stared at Xiao Ran unhappily and complained, "Hey, hey, hey, you don't know how bad those guys are. Two months is too exaggerated."
"You know why, there's not much time left for us." Xiao Ran didn't pay attention to Law's complaints, just shrugged his shoulders and said, "And not just the airframe, but also the armor of the airframe. You have to work harder, we're all counting on you."
"Damn it! You really know how to order people around. " Law gritted his teeth and snorted. Finally, he sighed again: "I know, I know. You're the boss, and I'm just a little brother. Two months, I'll do my best. But with the technology of this world, it's impossible to completely copy VF-171 to make a transformational fighter."
"I've been learning about the industrial strength of Mithril during this period of time. Technically, it's possible to make an airframe similar to the VF-171, but some places need to be modified. After all, this is mainly an atmospheric battle, and the shape of the VF-171 is not so suitable."
"The technicians of Mithril don't need to fully understand, but can cooperate with me to realize those technologies, and improve the design of Mithril's new airframe, the design and manufacturing of the new transformation fighter, and transform your trophy. It's a bit troublesome for me to do it alone."
Xiao Ran also understood the problems mentioned by Law, and said with a smile, "I know you're working hard. After leaving here, I'll ask Mithril to help you bring Little Hachi over. Although Little Hachi is in the box, it's not convenient now."
Little Hachi can be regarded as Law's unique personal prop. A strong artificial intelligence with a super high IQ, feelings, jokes, technology, and MS piloting. It can be said that it's an AI version of Law. With the help of Little Hachi, Law's side will naturally be a lot more relaxed.
And now, Little Hachi is in Xiao Ran's inventory. In fact, it's a bit inappropriate to suddenly take it out and give it to Law when he didn't bring anything with him. Such a personal prop that belongs to Law is like carrying a PDA in this world, there are no restrictions at all.
Law smiled and said, "With Little Hachi's help, it'll be much easier."
The day passed peacefully. The next morning, Sosuke Xiangliang appeared in front of Xiao Ran again. He directly saluted Xiao Ran, then shouted a new name for Xiao Ran, "Instructor, Sergeant Sosuke Xiangliang reporting for duty. Please instruct me on today's training mission."
When Xiao Ran opened the door for Sagliang Sosuke, he still looked like he hadn't slept well. He hurriedly covered his face with his mask and opened the door for Sagliang Sosuke with only his underwear on his upper body. When he saw Sagliang Sosuke's serious, serious, and stubborn expression, he felt helpless.
He obviously didn't know the inside story, but he still followed the orders of the higher-ups and treated Xiao Ran as an instructor. He came to report early in the morning and disturbed Xiao Ran's sleep.
However, after shaking his head, Xiao Ran also woke himself up. He said to Sosuke Xiangliang directly, "Soldier, wait for me."
"Yes."
Facing this serious boy, Xiao Ran didn't feel uncomfortable. He quickly tidied up his personal hygiene. He found a Mithril uniform in the lounge's closet and put it on. He put on his boots and opened the door again. Sosuke Xiangliang stood facing the closed door with his hands behind his back. When the door opened again, he stood up straight.
"Well, let's eat something before training. Inform Colonel Tessa to bring the Mithril Lambda-Driver body to the training ground, and prepare another body for me." Xiao Ran said while patting Sosuke Xiangliang's shoulder.
After going to the next room and knocking on El Erf and Law's door, he waited for less than a minute, then went directly to the base's cafeteria with the two neatly dressed people. Even after the three left, Sosuke Xiangliang still had a serious expression, but the doubts in his eyes couldn't be hidden. He turned around and passed the message to Tessa.
When Xiao Ran took Law and El Erf to the training ground again, they saw a lot of people gathered there. Not only the Westpac team, but also the soldiers, technicians, logistics, and so on. Tessa, the commander, Jerome Boda, Al Kamet, and other people who had rested in the base for the night all ran over.
Xiao Ran suddenly thought of something and looked at El Erf, "If you have nothing to do, you can go and see Colonel Tessa and see how to strengthen the defense measures in this place. You can also do a drill. For example, if you are kidnapped, or if you sneak in, how to destroy the base or the Son of Dan Slave. Be professional and don't let them look down on you."
El Erf nodded, glanced in the direction of Tessa, and walked directly over. Xiao Ran walked towards the two AS that had been placed in the middle of the training ground, and Sosuke Xiangliang, who was standing in front of the AS and staring at the new model.
When he heard the footsteps, Sosuke Xiangliang quickly turned around and saluted Xiao Ran again. Xiao Ran also saluted back and looked at the two AS. One was a prototype ARX-7 crossbow, and the other was a Mithril standard M9.
"Well, you are in good spirits." Xiao Ran nodded. He didn't exaggerate and asked the Mithril side to change the M9 to the M6. He smiled and patted Sosuke Xiangliang's shoulder, then said, "We won't be so serious in the first training, but we still have to show you the difference between you and a real ace."
"The content of the training this time is actual combat. Let them equip the body with live ammunition. Oh right, I need two main weapons. The secondary weapons are a longsword and a dagger. I don't need grenades or anything like that."
"Live ammunition?" Sosuke Xiangliang frowned slightly when he heard Xiao Ran's words. However, Tessa had already told Sosuke Xiangliang that he must fully obey Xiao Ran's orders in the following training time. Therefore, he nodded and replied loudly, then quickly ran to the nearby technicians who were ready to watch the show.
After hearing Xiao Ran's request, Tessa also covered her mouth cutely and showed a surprised expression. She was hesitating whether to follow Xiao Ran's instructions to equip the two AS with live ammunition. However, under Jerome's approval, she still ordered the technicians to equip the two AS with live ammunition.
The people nearby all ran away at once after hearing that there was going to be live ammunition training. However, it wasn't that they didn't pay attention to the live ammunition test. Instead, they all ran to a large room in the base and stared at the big screens in the room as if they were watching some gossip. Even Jerome, Tessa, and others also entered the room.
While waiting for the weapons to be replaced, El Erf and Law also entered the huge lounge. El Erf went directly to Tessa and repeated Xiao Ran's words completely.
"Colonel Tessa, the lord asked me to cooperate with you to improve the base's defense. It's best to conduct a practical test. In the case of infiltration and capture, I will infiltrate and destroy your base and the Dan Slave's Son. After getting the final result, I will organize a detailed upgrade plan for you."
"In addition, in my opinion, the lord's request is completely reasonable. Your defensive measures and means are really too poor. It's impossible to defend in a sudden event. If you use me as the test target, it will take less than an hour to infiltrate and destroy this base."
"As our collaborators, we must pay more attention to this."
"Uh …" Tessa looked at El Erf blankly, scratched her head and asked, "Infiltration test?"
El Erf nodded, "Yes."
El Erf's words were heard by El Erf. He showed a rare surprised expression and looked at El Erf, "Did you just say an hour?"
"Yes, an hour." El Erf nodded and replied, "The entire test will be conducted using a drill bullet. It will be conducted according to the standard drill method until we take over the base, the Dan Slave's Son, or subdue your commanders."
El Erf became even more interested. Even Jerome pricked up his ears, "What about the number of people? I mean, if we start the test, how many people do you need? "
"Although I can do it alone …" El Erf looked at El Erf and said in an inconvenient tone, "But in order to not waste time and fully understand the loopholes in your defense, I can bring no more than five people."
El Erf nodded, but he did not bypass Jerome to make this decision. Jerome thought for a moment and nodded lightly, "I agree. Although I never thought that the Mithril base would be attacked, this is indeed something we have to prepare for. But is five people enough? There are many people in this base."
"I just said that I can do it alone."
His domineering words made the expressions of several people in the room suddenly stagnate. Fortunately, because of their identity, the other people in the lounge were far away from them and did not hear what El Erf said. Otherwise, a live version of the base's suppression would have happened immediately.
El Erf's calm expression did not change, "After the selection of people, we will temporarily leave the base. Please prepare the drill equipment we need. We will decide the time of the attack."
After that, El Erf coldly ignored the high-ranking Mithril officials. Instead, he sat directly next to Law and looked at the big screen in front of him.
El Erf was really not worried about sneaking in or attacking. After all, he had a terrifying physical fitness and terrifying special agent abilities. A person who could turn the Mithril base upside down when he was heavily surrounded and captured really had the ability to turn the base upside down again. The name of a solo exploration team was not just for show.
In a complex building like the base, many powerful and lethal weapons could not be used. The personal quality of the combatants was more important. Therefore, in such a situation, as long as El Erf was willing, he could definitely bring terrible losses to the Mithril side by spending a little more time.
Anyway, El Erf conveyed Xiao Ran's words, and the other party agreed to hold such a drill. El Erf sat directly next to him and did not say a word. The reason why Xiao Ran wanted to hold such a drill was entirely because of the amalgam attack on Mithril in his memory. Since Mithril had become his collaborator, Xiao Ran naturally did not want that to happen again.
On the drill field of the base, Xiao Ran and Sosuke Xiangliang were both sitting in their respective Airframes. Xiao Ran was driving an M9 equipped with two machine cannons, a longsword, and a dagger on its back. After sitting in the Airframe, Xiao Ran immediately began to make new adjustments to the Airframe's system parameters, adjusting the Airframe's parameters to suit his needs.
Sosuke Xiangliang was driving the ARX-7 crossbow that he was destined to get. In terms of weaponry, it was the standard configuration. One machine cannon, one dagger. It looked much more impressive than Xiao Ran's M9.
However, it was not that Xiao Ran's choice of two weapons was due to his poor skills. It was because Xiao Ran was used to being equipped with such weapons. Every Airframe he used in the past was equipped with such weapons. Even if it was a single-handed weapon, he would definitely equip it with the GN Dragoon, which had greater firepower.
After the people in the lounge saw this scene, many people who were proficient in AS piloting were surprised when they saw the two machine cannons in Xiao Ran's hands.
"He's actually equipped with two weapons. Isn't he afraid that it will affect the Airframe's balance and operation?"
"It seems difficult to aim with two weapons at the same time. Even with the assistance of the Airframe's computer, one person can't aim with two weapons at the same time."
"Let's see. I say, let's make a bet. I bet 100 on Sosuke Xiangliang winning."
"Hey, I bet 100 on Sergeant Sosuke Xiangliang too."
"Then I'll bet on the masked man. If he didn't have some ability, how could Colonel Tessa let him be Sergeant Sosuke Xiangliang's instructor? A bunch of fools. I bet 100 on him."
All of a sudden, the entire lounge became lively. But less than a minute later, two huge figures appeared next to the crossbow driven by Sagara Sosuke. They were two identical M9s. One of them was armed with a machine gun and a longsword, while the other was armed with an AS sniper rifle and a dagger on its back.
The three mecha models looked rather imposing when placed side by side. On the other hand, Xiao Ran's M9 looked a little lonely.
Law watched a large group of people hurriedly suppress the other two Airframes after they appeared. He directly hugged his head with both hands and turned in circles. Except for a glance at the screen at the beginning, El Erf put his attention on his computer from the beginning to the end. He didn't even look at the situation on the practice field at all.
In the eyes of Tessa and other senior officers, the two looked bored. They also saw their confidence in Xiao Ran, or rather, their disdain for the strength of their own team. They didn't put Xiao Ran in their eyes at all, as if they already knew the outcome from the beginning.
The two extra mechs were naturally piloted by Melissa Mao and Cruz from Xiangliang Sosuke's team. Xiao Ran felt that since he had a slight advantage in terms of weapons, he might as well let the three members of Xiangliang Sosuke's team attack together. This would let them feel the gap between them and himself.
At the same time, Xiao Ran also made Melissa Mao and Cruz suffer a little, making Sosuke Xiangliang take the initiative to activate the super power of the Lambda Driver.
After adjusting his Airframe, Xiao Ran also looked up at the three Airframes on the battle screen and said directly, "Are you ready?"
"Mhmm." Sosuke Xiangliang nodded, while Melissa Mao shouted in the cockpit with a face full of displeasure, "I want to show you, this arrogant person, how dare you take on the three of us alone. If you lose, you'll have to run naked. If we lose, we'll run naked."
Cruz smiled bitterly and said faintly, "Haha … Big sister, it's better not to say such things casually."
"Go to hell, are you still a man! If you lose, you'll have to run naked with a sign saying 'You're a woman' on your back! "
Kirrlutz instantly shut up and stopped talking. The conversation between them was also transmitted to the entire lounge at the same time, causing the lounge to be noisy again.
However, Xiao Ran didn't care about what the hot-tempered Melissa Mao said, and simply said, "Then I won't be lenient with you guys in the following test. I'll only guarantee your safety to a minimum. Remember, all of you are equipped with live ammunition. Treat this as a real battle."
