From Titan Corporation to the Empire of Man - Chapter 417

c406 The end “arrival”

Late at night;

The capital town temporarily built by the Engineering Department has been completely occupied by the mobile infantry of the Federation Expeditionary Force.

More than a thousand DR-4 Viking landing craft are parked inside and outside the town to carry the mechanical skeletons, AMWS guns and corresponding ammunition and supplies collected by the mobile infantry.

The remaining two hundred clone soldiers were also captured by the mobile infantry and then imprisoned in the cabin of the Viking landing craft.

At the same time, high-energy beams and electromagnetic ballistic trajectories often flashed in the sky full of stars.

But at this moment, the mobile infantry, through the data stored in the clone individual computer, knew that the expedition fleet had already fallen as soon as they entered the atmosphere.

The reason why there is still a “fierce battle” in the near-Earth orbit is actually that the Blood Angels of the Human Empire are fighting against the space creature fleet of the Arach Zerg.

It was the sudden “visit” of the Arach Zerg that made the Blood Angels have no time for ground warfare, and they had to leave the clone auxiliary army to deal with their mobile infantry.

As for the federal warships and related personnel captured by the Blood Angels, they have been sent to various star ports on the surface one after another.

One of the star ports is the closest to their location, about 200 kilometers away.

In response, under the suggestion of Lyon, Maggie and others, everyone is ready to select a raiding force composed of elites to quickly seize the nearest star port.

In addition to releasing those crew members who were originally “high above”, they can also recapture the ships of the expeditionary fleet and use them as transportation for their evacuation of New Hope.

At this stage, the remaining more than 30,000 mobile infantry have regarded the non-commissioned officers headed by Lyon as the backbone.

Those colonels and lieutenants who were lucky enough to survive chose to cooperate throughout the process without any objections because of the greater power of Lyon and others, and even the commander Honard Thompson was dismissed.

After finalizing the plan, Lyon equipped the 226th Combat Platoon and the combat platoon guys who charged and fought with them with full-cover mechanical skeletons, as well as AMWS guns and .30cal smart machine guns.

In this way, the more than 2,000 mobile infantrymen who almost completely obeyed Lyon’s command and Maggie’s dispatch could be said to have “changed their guns for cannons”.

Even if those colonels and lieutenants wanted to launch another “mutiny”, the gap in strength between the two sides had already become a world of difference.

Then.

Lyon, together with Rico, Ace and several non-commissioned officers, acted as the command group, leading more than 1,000 mobile infantrymen equipped with new weapons and equipment to board the Viking landing craft to raid the star port closest to the town.

The remaining mobile infantry main force was on standby.

Once Lyon and his team sent a signal that the raid was successful, the remaining main force could directly board the Viking to arrive at the star port and transfer.

Soon, more than 20 Viking landing crafts carrying Lyon and his team disappeared into the night.

In fact.

The information and intelligence obtained by everyone were just deliberately left by the Investigation Department.

Where is the Zerg space creature fleet?

From the moment the Arach Zerg chose to intervene, they were “99%” destroyed by the Primarch’s Sojourner-class flagship.

The reason why millions of Zergs can successfully land is to allow the mobile infantry and clone soldiers to shake hands and make peace naturally, and to allow Leon to obtain intelligent AI and corresponding weapons and equipment.

In this way, the only thing left is how to safely evacuate more than 30,000 mobile infantry from New Hope.

So they provided false information to the mobile infantry, saying that there are multiple star ports on New Hope, and sent the ships of the Federation Expeditionary Fleet to different star ports.

But the fact is that the star port closest to everyone is also a temporary “show project”.

And the construction of a star port is much more convenient than a town, so the appearance and details look more real.

At this moment.

Fifteen kilometers south of the starport, the Viking landing craft unloaded thousands of marines including Lyon, Rico, and Ace, and then remained on standby.

The people who landed, relying on the speed increase provided by the mechanical skeleton, rushed across the desolate sand and headed straight for the starport more than ten kilometers away.

And Ace, who was following Lyon, couldn’t contain his excitement and praised in the team communication:

“Sergeant! This thing is easy to use and durable, so cool!”

“Indeed.”

Even Rico agreed.

Lyon’s helmet screen showed various data and physical conditions, and even had simple text prompts or voice teaching.

People like Lyon who are used to Atlas products are not counted. Mobile infantry like Rico and Ace can easily get started after adapting.

After all, Atlas’s individual equipment and individual systems have basically achieved automation, and the wearer and user are just “components” responsible for implementing actions and pulling the trigger.

Therefore, the overall quality of the thousand mobile infantry equipped with new weapons and equipment is no less than that of the armed security before the establishment of the human empire.

And this group of mobile infantry is even better at fighting against the Zerg than the armed security.

“Keep quiet, it’s not time to celebrate yet, wait until you escape from New Hope before you say the word “cool.”

Leon didn’t comment too much, just reminded Ace.

“Oh yes, Sergeant.”

The rest of the group kept quiet, and it didn’t take long for them to easily cross more than ten kilometers of desert.

If it were in the past, the mobile infantry would have lost half of their combat capability before the battle officially started.

Now, they only consumed about 1% to 3% of the power of the mechanical skeleton.

When they crawled to the top of a sand dune, they could just see the temporary starport in front of them.

Twelve escort transport ships were moored on both sides of the main building of the starport.

There was even a “wounded” Paris-class frigate being repaired by Hex robots.

Seeing this, Leon didn’t need to guess too much, he knew that the Paris-class was deliberately destroyed and then stranded in this temporary starport.

After all, the firepower of the Paris-class is enough to fight against more than ten federal escort transport ships at the same time.

The reason why the investigation department left this Paris-class to him was to give him and Maggie and others enough “rebellion” capital.

And Leon was also ready to use the intelligence provided by the smart AI to select another frontier galaxy for “repair” and “rest”.

If the Federation holds this accountable, then the smart AI can make a big publicity and publish the incompetent behavior of Honald Thompson on the Internet to undermine the reputation of the Federation.

However, the guards in the starport are all clone soldiers with biological weapons, and there is no auxiliary army with “living” identity, or adult Blood Angels.

And there are only more than 200 clones stationed in the starport, and more than half of them are still guarding the Federation crew members detained here.

Using the visual assistance of the helmet screen to estimate, there are at least 2,000 prisoners, who are detained on the open space of the starport.

Fortunately, the Blood Angels have no habit of abusing prisoners. Even if the detention environment is a bit poor, there is everything to eat and drink.

If you want to go to the toilet, you can go directly to the bathroom in the building.

Of course, the prisoners did not take advantage of the opportunity to go to the bathroom to escape, but they could not escape at all.

Not to mention that they didn’t have the right weapons, the surveillance cameras installed everywhere exposed their whereabouts to the clones.

And it was a pipe dream to fight against the “cheap super soldiers” who were fully armed with bare hands.

So the captives had to stay where they were and “wait for their fate”.

Seeing that the starport was weakly guarded, Rico analyzed:

“It seems that the Zerg fleet has put a strain on the human empire’s military strength, otherwise, how could such an important facility as the starport be guarded by only so many people.”

“Well, maybe there is an ambush?” Ace asked back.

“We have occupied the capital town of New Hope, and we haven’t seen any response from the human empire, but it’s really a bit strange.” Rico was also afraid that there was an ambush in the starport.

But the various information and real-time data displayed on the helmet screen showed that the more than 200 clone soldiers they saw were all the defense forces in the starport.

Leon held the AMWS rifle in his hand, stood up and walked forward, saying:

“This shows that the human empire can distinguish between the important and the unimportant. We are compatriots and the same race to them, but the bugs are undoubtedly alien enemies to all humans.

Snipers, first deal with the clones on guard, and the precision shooters are responsible for cover.

The rest of the people will disperse from each other in small teams and raid the starport together. All defense forces must be eliminated within ten minutes.”

“Yes, Sergeant.”

After that, everyone acted as Leon ordered.

More than a dozen snipers equipped with large-caliber AMWS sniper rifles were still lying on the top of the sand dunes, and with the assistance of the individual soldier system, they accurately locked the clones on guard at the periphery.

Bang-bang-bang-!

As Leon and his men heard the deafening gunshots behind them, all the clones on guard were shot in the head.

Da-da-da-da–!

The precision shooters also began to fire long and short bursts to provide cover for everyone.

When Leon and his men rushed to the star port, and the machine gunners holding .30cal smart machine guns began to fire in bursts and bursts, the whole raid was coming to an end.

Rico, Ace and others didn’t know that the clones had already noticed them when they arrived at the top of the dune and secretly observed.

But in order to perform a “sudden attack” drama, they had to die.

However, they didn’t have any resentment. Maybe death was the best destination for clones.

Moreover, in order to cooperate with the “performance” of the Investigation Department, the 1st Company of the Blood Angels “wasted” nearly 7,000 clones.

Fortunately, the Investigation Department said that it would provide the assistance of elite investigators “free of charge” and signed a series of mutual assistance agreements, so that the 1st Company of the Blood Angels did not “make trouble”.

As for the clones killed and consumed, the Blood Angels only need to submit orders to the Atlas headquarters in the main universe to complete the establishment. In theory, there is not much loss.

The only frigate that was deliberately left here was purchased by the Investigation Department at the Mars Foundry in the main universe.

Then, it was transported here by the Engineering Department.

No matter how good the relationship between the Blood Angels and the Investigation Department is, and no matter how important the mission of subversion and infiltration is, they cannot use the so-called cooperation, assistance, and agreement to make the 1st Company give up a Paris-class ship as a prop.

The price and maintenance cost of a frigate are not comparable to that of 7,000 clone soldiers, not to mention that many crew members and auxiliary troops have feelings for the ship and believe that the ship itself has a certain luck, so how could they give it up directly?

Leon knew the details behind it, but in order to disintegrate the federation from the inside out, he just issued an order:

“Brother Rui, go and rescue your captured colleagues. Ace, contact the main force and ask them to rush to the star port immediately and prepare to evacuate.

The rest of the people followed me to conduct a comprehensive sweep of the starport to ensure that no hidden dangers were left, and to search for any weapons and materials worth recycling, especially the Human Empire ship.

If the Human Empire ship can be captured, the expedition will not be a complete failure. ”

“Yes, Sergeant.”

Everyone took orders and acted separately.

Rigo, who was responsible for rescuing the prisoners, met old acquaintances, namely Carmen Ibanez and Xander Barrow.

And the crew members of the Roger Young were also detained here.

Carmen and others, who were originally panicked and didn’t know what to do, heard Ruige using the helmet’s external speaker function to loudly remind everyone, “Attention everyone! We are expeditionary mobile infantry, not the enemy! Please don’t panic or fear.” After his words, he finally calmed down a little.

Especially Carmen, who heard Ruige’s voice, ran forward regardless of Xander’s obstruction, waved her arms and said loudly:

“Johnny! Johnny! I’m here!”

?

Brother Rui heard the sound and went away, and through the helmet screen, he accurately captured Carmen’s figure.

But under the helmet, Brother Rui didn’t have much emotion on his face.

There is neither the joy of reunion nor the revengeful mentality of “it wasn’t me who saved you in the end.”

After experiencing previous battles, especially fighting with clones, Rui Ge naturally began to think that “fighting for humanity as a whole” should be his primary goal in joining the army, not to please his ex-girlfriend or to advance in military rank.

In this way, the emotions between men and women are really an insignificant “thing” to Rui Ge.

So Rui Ge once again used his helmet to put it out and reminded:

“Please bridge members, as well as crew engineers and maintenance technicians, rush to the ship parked in the star port immediately. We must evacuate the New Hope Galaxy as soon as possible!”

After saying that, Rui Ge commanded the infantry to help the prisoners board the ship quickly and be ready to take off at any time.

It didn’t take long.

Thousands of DR-4 landing craft and the remaining hundreds of Thunder attack aircraft arrived at the star port where Lyon, Ruige and others were.

Then, more than 30,000 people crowded into twelve frigate transport ships and one Paris-class frigate, and successfully escaped from the surface of New Hope.

But on the grounds of “getting rid of the fleet of the Human Empire as soon as possible”, Lyon asked the fleet to directly start the warp engine and rush to the nearest frontier colony.

At this point, the Investigation Department has completed key steps in its plan to reduce integrated casualties.

At the same time——

Leon, who was in the universe numbered “13”, seemed to sense that a brother was “falling from the sky”.
