A spark suddenly exploded over the tropical rain forest that had just escaped from the raging rain.
It's a Ruggen tactical reconnaissance aircraft.
Not long after the Lugen tactical reconnaissance aircraft named Lugen 2 left, the Lugen 1, which was preparing to conduct reconnaissance from another direction, was suddenly blown to pieces by missiles that shot up from the dense rainforest below.
At this moment, the battle started.
Aina immediately raised the height of Apsaras to avoid being hit by missiles launched by enemies lurking in the rainforest below.
"Enemy attack? The federal army has indeed discovered our stronghold hidden here! In addition to combat helicopters, Dora transport planes are following Apsaras. Hurry!"
Fortunately, Apsaras is high enough to give it enough time to ascend when faced with threats in the dense forest.
What's more, as soon as the attack occurred, the pilots of the combat helicopters who responded quickly immediately fired a series of barrages in a two-plane formation towards the location where the missile appeared, boosting Apsaras's success.
Create time.
"Tch! He ran really fast!"
Aledoa from Team 8 cursed in displeasure.
The missile firing just now was made by Aledoa after making sufficient judgment and notifying Sandas to launch the missile.
But I didn't expect the other party's reaction to be so quick.
It was as if the opponent was ready to retreat at any time from the beginning.
"Captain! What should we do now?" Sandas, who missed the attack, was inevitably a little uncomfortable, but finally asked.
"Get rid of those annoying flies first! Captain Leot!"
"Yes! The planes spread out, one plane lures the enemy, and two planes ambush. Hide your whereabouts!" Leot glanced at Apsaras, who was gradually rising, and knew that it would be impossible to fight with this big guy today.
Already.
If the opponent's retreat is so decisive, they will definitely not land again later.
"yes!"
At this time, not far away.
In the rainforest that was slipping and dripping from time to time, Lancelot spread his wings of light and shuttled through it casually like a ghost.
I saw it sometimes stopping on the tree crown, turning on the infrared detector, scanning the surrounding situation, and sometimes turning around to look at the Apsaras that was gradually rising in the sky.
"Has the encounter begun? It seems that Apsaras is a temporary guest truck, right?"
Lei Mingkai couldn't help but think as he looked at Apsaras, surrounded by several Doras, once again flying towards the thinning dark clouds above his head.
Not to mention Leot and Shirou Amada, even Lei Mingkai couldn't help but hesitate a little after seeing Apsaras's decisive promotion and withdrawal.
To use the mysterious cargo that Apsalas came to greet, is there really no value in letting Apsalas take risks?
In fact, the gradually rising Apsaras seems to indicate that this guess may be correct.
"No matter what. Let's search around here first!"
No matter what, since Lancelot has been used, let's maximize the role of Lancelot, a small machine that can freely shuttle through this dense tropical rain forest.
"drop!"
Suddenly, an image appeared on the screen of the infrared detector.
Judging from the thermal imaging, it should be an armored vehicle.
"Armored vehicle? If it's not from the Federation, then it should be from Zeon."
Those who can move in this rainforest are either the Federation or Zeon. As for the armed natives, they cannot afford to maintain oil tigers like armored vehicles.
As soon as the light wings on his back were retracted, water splashed, and Lancelot completed a beautiful landing action.
Then, Lancelot raised his left arm, and the hook on his forearm popped out. While piercing the trunk of the big tree next to him, it also pulled Lancelot up.
The next second, Lanceroye once again relied on the alternate use of the guide wheels and hooks to move quickly through the rain forest and rushed towards the target that was suspected to be an armored vehicle.
"Colonel, are you okay?"
In the previous battle, Massad did not drive the land combat Zaku II, but sat in an armored vehicle and brought two land combat Zaku II to rescue Norris.
Unexpectedly, this approach allowed him to escape.
When Lancelot was fighting the two land-based Zaku IIs, Massad made the armored vehicle carrying him hide aside, watching helplessly as Lancelot slaughtered the two land-based Zaku IIs.
The whole process of fighting type Zaku II.
After Lancelot left, Massad, still in shock, quickly called the driver of the armored vehicle to rescue Norris from the semi-paralyzed Zaku II.
Fortunately, after being rescued, Norris did not hold Massad accountable. Instead, he urged Massad to contact Apsaras and the escort unit that escorted the so-called x3 engine.
Therefore, Norris, Massad and others, who were in contact with Apsaras and the escort force of the x3 engine, moved as close as possible to the approximate direction of the escort force.
However.
Unfortunately, Norris, who was lucky enough to escape from the death scythe, did not usher in the luck of the rest of his life. Instead, he encountered Lancelot again.
But this encounter was something that Norris could not match.
"Buzz!"
A beam of light appeared across the sky and hit the water half a meter deep in front of the armored vehicle.
"boom!"
There was a loud explosion of water splashing several meters high, and the mud mixed in it completely covered the front glass of the armored vehicle. The driver, whose vision was blocked, panicked and crashed into a big tree next to him.
"What's going on! What are you doing?!"
Massad, who was hit hard by the violent impact and suffered a bloody head, suddenly cursed before he could hold his fallen eyes.
"Shut up! We're being targeted!"
Norris took a deep breath.
"Go down! The other side doesn't want to kill us now."
As soon as he got off the car, Norris was stunned.
Outside, no one exists, let alone the MS that Norris imagined.
It seems that the impact of the armored vehicle was only caused by the driver's carelessness.
However, Norris clearly heard a huge explosion just now.
Looking back, I saw that there was still mud splashed on the front of the car that had crashed into the trunk of the tree.
That is not a place that can be splashed during normal driving.
After looking around for a week, Norris turned back, looked at Massad and asked.
"How far is it from the destination?"
Massad just took out a handkerchief, covered the wound on his forehead, looked around, and shook his head slightly.
Seeing this, Norris returned to the car and looked at the driver who was trying to restore the armored vehicle to normal.
The driver, who was trying to restart the armored vehicle and leave this hellish place as quickly as possible, shouted loudly and was sweating profusely.
"Colonel. I need some time."
Norris nodded.
“Just do it!”
Norris was anxious at this moment, but he didn't show much emotion on his face. It's just that the anxious Norris didn't know that he had escaped the scythe of death again.
The explosion just now undoubtedly came from the Varis rifle in Lancelot's hand.
However, when Lancelot fired the first bullet to force the armored vehicle to a stop, Lancelot's infrared detector seemed to have discovered some new targets.
After weighing the situation, Lei Mingkai decided to let the poor armored vehicle go and move further forward.
While moving quickly, Lei Mingkai was even more surprised to see that Apsaras, which should have risen above the clouds, had a faint tendency to descend again.
"Could it be that cargo?"
In an instant, Lei Mingkai thought of the key point.
After thinking carefully, Lei Mingkai couldn't help but increase Lancelot's speed, and directly opened the light wings again, flying through the rain forest like lightning.
"Signal confirmation. Identity confirmation. It is indeed what Major General Kinias wants. A Dora transport plane is sent, and Apsaras is on guard."
After many attempts, Aina finally reluctantly contacted the escort unit that was originally transporting the x3 engine to a secret stronghold, but heavy rain blocked the way.
From the mid-air view, the road ahead has been blocked by floods. The only feasible solution is to use the accompanying Dora transport plane to load the cargo onto the plane and return to the base as quickly as possible.
Apsaras, on the other hand, became a target to cover the x3 engine due to Aina's own initiative.
She has reason to believe that as long as any federal army sees the huge body of Apsalas, they will invariably focus all their attention on it. Therefore, the Dora transport plane will also be under the cover of Apsalas.
, quietly returning the x3 engine to base.
What's more, when the Dora transport plane began to send signals downwards, a somewhat noisy, but clearly understandable communication sounded in the internal communication channel.
"This, this, this is Norris Backard! Who is commanding the Zeon army over there! Please answer me! Now, you are dying! Tell me quickly, where you belong!"
"Norris Backard?!"
As soon as she heard this somewhat messy and unfamiliar man's voice, Aina was suddenly stunned, but soon she remembered a certain guard specially assigned to her that Kineas had mentioned to her before.
And the name of this guard is Norris Backard.
"Colonel Norris Backard, right! I am Aina Sakhalin! I am currently on a mission to recover the x3 engine, please assist me!"
After confirming the identity of the other party, Aina immediately felt confident. Perhaps, she should be able to successfully complete this recovery mission.
However, Aina didn't know that after she took the initiative to reveal her identity, Norris, who had half of his body removed from the armored vehicle that was struggling to drive on the bad road that was flooded by 1-meter-deep floods, also looked at Apsa in the sky with surprise on his face.
Lars.
"Aina? Aina Sakhalin?!"
"Colonel. That is Aina Sakhalin, the sister of Major General Kinias! I didn't expect that this beautiful lady would come to perform the mission in person!"
Massad's voice came from inside the armored vehicle.
It doesn't matter if you don't say it. When Massad said this, Norris's heart tightened.
"Miss Aina! Leave this area immediately. Let us handle it here!"
After Norris issued a warning quickly, he decisively recounted everything they had encountered before in the most concise words.
"What? Short ms? How is that possible?"
The small mobile phone that Norris mentioned was only less than 5 meters long, no, it could already be described as ultra-small. From the perspective of Aina, the test pilot, it was simply impossible.
What's more, Aina herself has a brother with genius abilities, and Jinias is the backing of knowledge. Therefore, under various familiar MS rules, Aina does not believe that there are MSs less than 5 meters in this world.
.
At least, not yet.
"Masad. The escort force should be escorted by Zaku, right?"
Silently putting down the intercom, Norris was silent for a while, then returned to the cabin, looked at Massad and asked.
"Yes! There should be! However, I don't know the current situation, and I can't guarantee whether the strength of the escort troops is still intact."
The uncertainty in Madesa's tone did not dispel Norris's plan at this time, but made him firmer in his thoughts.
"Go at full speed! Find the escort troops as soon as possible before Apsaras encounters an enemy attack. Now, I need a Zaku!"
Next, the search process was smooth.
As long as Norris and the others raised their heads slightly, they could see the slowly landing Dora transport plane, and they would use it as a target to quickly move towards their destination.
As a result, amid the constant wailing of the armored vehicle whose front was severely damaged and even started to seep water, Norris and the others finally joined the escorting troops when the Dora transport plane slowly landed on a flat land that had not been flooded by too much water.
Converged.
"Quick! Give me that Zaku! Then prepare as many high-explosive bombs as possible for me!"
As soon as he got out of the car, Norris waved his hand, shouted his order loudly, and took possession of the land combat type Zaku II squatting not far away.
Although the soldiers escorting the troops were a little confused, after seeing the logo on Norris's collar and heart, they resigned and began to prepare.
The pilot whose body was snatched away by Norris also stood up straight, gave Norris a military salute, and simply turned around and left.
"Colonel! Do you still want to fight that white demon?!"
As soon as Massad, who was one step behind, saw Norris walking towards the land combat type Zaku II again, he immediately rushed forward and tried to stop Norris.
"Yes! I just want to settle a score with that white devil!" Norris's voice was very hoarse, but it was full of fighting spirit.
"You know, my previous defeat was not just a result of being beaten in vain! Massad. Maybe I have discovered the weakness of that white devil!"
Norris raised his head and glanced at Apsalas, who was still hovering in the sky.
At this moment, Norris, who had calmed down, guessed Aina's intention. So, as his first day in office, and as Aina Sakhalin's bodyguard, Norris felt that he had to make his first day in office the most perfect.
status.
"Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!"
The nuclear furnace of the land-based Zaku II emitted a low hum, and several bright lights lit up in front of Norris's eyes, reflecting all the scenery outside.
Immediately afterwards, under the control of Norris, the land-based Zaku II, which had a new owner, picked up a 120mm machine gun filled with high-explosive bombs in both hands and stood up from the flood, heading towards the rainforest ahead again.
Norris didn't know where the white devil would be, but he knew that as long as Apsalas was flying in the sky for one minute, the white devil would definitely appear in front of him.
"Come on! White Devil! This time, let me see if the scythe of death will hit me again!"
