(I've been a little busy these past two days, and Yi Zui caught a cold because of the weather, so I'll only update one chapter for the time being.)
The successive explosions on the island, especially the explosion at the military base, also made the retreating Mithril AS troops, as well as the people on the Dannu's Son who were observing all this from afar, realize that the incident at the base on the island might be just as Xiao Ran said. From the beginning to the end, it was a conspiracy against Mithril and Xiao Ran.
If it weren't for Xiao Ran ordering the AS troops to retreat, once they entered the military base under such circumstances, even if the AS troops were patrolling nearby, the final result was completely imaginable.
Therefore, everyone's expression at this time was not very good. They also thought that there might be more ambushes nearby, which also made these people who were retreating a little nervous. Until Xiao Ran's shapeshifting fighter landed at the back of the team, more than a dozen airframes suddenly turned around and aimed their weapons at the shapeshifting fighter.
Xiao Ran was piloting the shapeshifting fighter in the form of an MS. After seeing the movements of the airframes, he also said, "It's me."
Captain Makaran deliberately slowed down his movements and landed next to the shapeshifting fighter. He asked in a deep voice, "Mr. Alex, you're back. What happened? I just heard that there seems to be a battle over there? "
"The hostages in the base were all dead before we arrived. Everything was to attract us, or rather, it was just bait." Xiao Ran answered while paying attention to the situation behind from the rear monitor, and said, "There's no time to talk so much now. Hurry up and evacuate. Someone is chasing at high speed from behind. They will catch up with you in two minutes at most."
Captain Makaran frowned, looked at the surrounding situation, then pounded the screen in front of him with his hand, and said angrily, "Damn it, this mission failed without even knowing who the enemy is, and so many people in the base were killed. We must not let these guys go easily!"
Xiao Ran understood Makaran's thoughts. After all, Mithril had been entrusted to deal with this matter. However, he had been forced to leave in a hurry without doing anything, and the mission was a complete failure. As one of the most powerful forces in the world, how could Makaran accept this so easily? Furthermore, it seemed that the root cause of all this was them.
After less than three seconds of silence, Xiao Ran rejected Captain Makalan's idea and said, "The other party is not a simple character. Next, I, Xiangliang, and Langba will cover you guys. Everyone else, retreat immediately. This is an order."
"Yes." Although Captain Makalan was reluctant, he couldn't disobey Xiao Ran's orders as the battle commander. Besides, he had the obligation to bring his team members out of Mithril and safely return to the Son of Dannu.
In a short period of time, Xiao Ran also saw the thoughts of Nine Dragons, who were currently chasing after the enemy, through the things that happened on the island.
Not to mention other things, if he didn't come here with Mithril's team today, even if Xiangliang was in the AS team, the 10 completely different blue AS Lords of Hell and 2 red AS Lords of Hell weren't something Mithril's team could deal with.
The more likely possibility was that after Mithril's team broke through the layers of defense and entered the base, they would encounter the explosion while searching inside. As for how many people would be left in the end, these people would definitely become the Amalgam's hostages again, forcing Mithril to send out troops to rescue the remaining people.
The more likely possibility was to ask him, who was also a collaborator of Mithril, to join the rescue operation. At that time, he would inevitably agree to Mithril's request, and then fall into the enemy's carefully prepared encirclement again. It could be said that Amalgam's move was aimed at Mithril, but it was also aimed at Xiao Ran.
But in today's preparation, in fact, they did take Xiao Ran into consideration, and even the existence of the shapeshifting fighters into consideration. Otherwise, why would they deliberately prepare three air defense positions? Although it wasn't clear what happened to Nine Dragons, Xiao Ran's strength was strong, and he easily destroyed the two lines of defense, which did indeed disrupt the enemy's plan. This was also a fact.
"That kind of blue-gray AS seems to be a mass-produced model that appeared later. It should carry the lambda-driver model. Of the two red Lords of Hell, one of them must be Kowloon's, then the second one … Wait, if it's Kowloon, it won't commit such a crime of blowing up its own air defense base."
"I'm afraid only that Golden Hair idiot in Amalgam would be able to do something like this. Two generations of BOSSes, they really think highly of me. I just don't know if there's a participant in those ten machines."
Xiao Ran controlled the shapeshifting fighter to stop and said, "Lang Ba, Zongjie, stay here and cover their retreat."
Xiangliang Zongjie: "Understood."
Lang Ba: "Okay."
The two instantly controlled their machines to stop and watched the members of the Mithril team retreat at full speed. Xiao Ran also took the two to find cover and hid behind it.
"Pay attention. Among the pursuers, two of them are confirmed to have lambda-driver. Ten of them may have lambda-DRVER mass produced models. Don't let your guard down. Once they catch up, your teammates won't be able to resist lambda-DRVER. You know the consequences."
"No matter what, we have to intercept all these enemies. I will try my best to kill as many of them as possible in the shortest amount of time. You two have to work hard, or else you might really be finished here."
When the two heard Xiao Ran's words, they felt cold sweat dripping down their backs. The twelve-to-three ratio put a lot of pressure on them, especially when they heard Xiao Ran say that it was possible that all twelve of the machines were equipped with the Lambda Driver.
Xiangliang Zongjie had used the Lambda Driver before, so he knew very well how powerful this thing could be. He also knew that his teammates couldn't possibly be a match for the Lambda Driver, so he had to bear the pressure of sacrificing both the enemy and his teammates.
For Lang Ba, he was just a new participant who had experienced the third world. He was piloting a machine that he wasn't familiar with. Facing four times the number of enemies, he also felt a lot of pressure. He even received a C-rank side mission that Xiao Ran didn't receive, which was to protect Xiangliang Zongjie and the Mithril team and leave safely. This was a C-rank mission for him.
Once he accepted this mission, he definitely couldn't leave before Xiangliang Zongjie left safely. Xiangliang Zongjie's current attitude meant that he was willing to risk his life to protect the safety of his teammates. In other words, Lang Ba would have to fight to the death here because of this mission. While Lang Ba was hesitating, he suddenly thought of something.
"C-rank mission difficulty?" Lang Ba was stunned for a moment. He looked at the motionless transforming machine through the screen and patted his head lightly. He thought to himself, "Three times the combat power, and every enemy has a machine with their own skills. Maybe there are participants like us on the other side. Even so, it's only C-rank mission difficulty. Maybe it's because of this mysterious captain. If that's the case, this mission doesn't seem to be that difficult."
Thinking of this, Lang Ba opened a private communication channel and said, "Captain, I triggered a C-rank side mission. Protect Xiangliang Zongjie and the Mithril team and leave safely."
"Huh?" Hearing Lang Ba's words, Xiao Ran was also stunned for a moment. He flipped through his mission log, but there was no mission notification at all.
Xiao Ran was also a little confused. In fact, they were members of the same team, but there was a situation where one of them had a mission and the other didn't. Moreover, the two of them had triggered the same event in the same place. Logically speaking, this should have been triggered by the team.
Xiao Ran felt that he didn't quite understand, but he still said, "Accept it. The mission requirements are the same as our goal. There's no need to let it go."
"Got it." After hearing Xiao Ran's words, Lang Ba breathed a sigh of relief. He directly accepted the C-rank side mission. To him, the reward was quite good. With Xiao Ran around, he felt a lot more at ease.
After hanging up, Xiao Ran stroked his chin. "Could it be that the Amalgam's goal was originally me, and actually has nothing to do with Mithril? Or could it be that if I wasn't here this time, the mission I received would be to rescue the Mithril team that was almost tricked by the Amalgam? "
But before Xiao Ran could confirm this thought, a voice suddenly popped up in his mind. "C-rank side mission triggered. Repel, destroy or capture all pursuers. Mission success will reward 3000 war points, action inclination will be shifted to righteous, and Mithril's favorability will be greatly increased. Mission failure will result in a deduction of 5000 war points, action inclination will be shifted to evil, and Mithril's favorability will be greatly decreased."
"Accept." Xiao Ran accepted the mission without hesitation. At the same time Xiao Ran accepted the mission, Lang Ba was also forced to accept it because of his relationship with Xiao Ran. Originally, he only wanted to ensure that the Mithril team retreated and let Sosuke Xiangliang leave safely. But now, he had to defeat all the pursuers, which made Lang Ba a little scared.
From the description of the mission, it could be seen that Xiao Ran's C-rank mission was much more difficult than Lang Ba's. In one mission, he only needed to hold on for a while and then escape, while in the other mission, he had to kill the pursuers to complete the mission. It was just a C-rank mission, and it gave Xiao Ran a vague hint about the strength of the pursuers. How could Xiao Ran, who could even complete an A-rank side mission, be scared by a C-rank side mission?
Killing the pursuers and stopping the pursuers were two completely different concepts. But the 5000 war points from the two missions made Lang Ba a little excited, especially when he was hugging a big leg. It was as if he was about to pick up 5000 war points for free. It was very tempting.
The moment he accepted the mission, the beeping sound from the cockpit and Sosuke Xiangliang's steady voice rang in Xiao Ran's ears at the same time. "They're here!"
The position chosen by Xiao Ran and the other two was almost flat. Except for some boulders that could be used as cover, there was nothing else. Xiao Ran could even hear the mechanical sound of dozens of AS-class mechs running fast, jumping high and landing on the ground. His eyes suddenly lit up, emitting a dazzling golden light. His hands turned into a blur as he began to control the shapeshifting fighter again.
Under the control of Xiao Ran, the shapeshifting fighter instantly turned into a dark shadow and flew straight towards the sun. The sudden appearance of the shapeshifting fighter made the 12 AS-class mechs raise their guns and shoot at the shapeshifting fighter at the same time. At the same time, the Crossbowman piloted by Sosuke Xiangliang and the Demon King mech piloted by Lang Ba also jumped out from behind the boulders at the same time. They raised their guns and launched attacks at the pursuers who were also scattered in all directions.
Countless bullets could only fly past the shapeshifting fighter under Xiao Ran's agile reaction and powerful operating ability. They could not really hit the shapeshifting fighter at all. With the help of the dazzling light emitted by the sun hanging in the sky, Xiao Ran also abruptly controlled the shapeshifting fighter to transform. After it turned around and transformed, it rushed straight towards the ground.
The two beam guns on the wings and the Gatling Gun hanging under the body also launched a charge attack towards the ground from top to bottom at the same time. In Xiao Ran's eyes, everything he saw became so slow. He could see every bullet that flew towards him, and he could also see every blade of grass that was raised by his attack.
He nimbly controlled the body to make one move after another to avoid those bullets. He also accurately adjusted the angle of attack of the three weapons. At the same time, he spat out a cold sentence from his mouth, "Lang Ba, report your value at any time."
When Lang Ba heard Xiao Ran's words, his hand movements caused the body to stop attacking for a moment. Then, he saw two blue AS-class mechs rushing towards him while shooting in his direction. He quickly controlled the Demon King mech to hide behind cover and continue attacking.
However, he also understood what the value that Xiao Ran asked was, so he replied loudly, "50!"
What Xiao Ran asked was the energy index of the super system participant, but because of Sosuke Xiangliang's relationship, it was convenient for him to explain it too clearly.
