(Sorry, sorry, I overslept, there is still another chapter Yi Zui to write slowly)
A battle started with an attack and ended at an extremely fast speed. With the enemy's real combat power limited and the commander dead at the first opportunity, no qualified enemies were encountered during the entire operation, and the goal was successfully achieved easily.
However, four aircraft, three Transport Aircrafts and three team members destroyed a tightly defended base. In the eyes of many people, it was an incredible thing, but the combat power of Xiao Ran and Variable Fighter turned this incredible into a real reality.
It also allowed these people to see what it meant to have the strength to confront an army head-on.
Three Transport Aircraft were dispatched together with Variable Fighter. When they returned to the freighter, the team seemed to have doubled. The number of transport helicopters became six, and the three ASs that went out also doubled on the freighter.
The three new ASs that have appeared are all third-generation ASs that are more advanced than the M6, and unlike ordinary ASs, these three specially shipped units are all special units equipped with λ-DRIVER. When used by the right people, the combat power they can exert is more powerful than ordinary third-generation ASs.
The three machines that were transported back were all things that Yulan dug out from the collapsed warehouse. They seemed a little dirty from the outside, and there were some dents in some places on Outer Armor. However, in fact, the integrity of the three machines was not affected at all.
It's just the fragments of a collapsed warehouse that can't really cause much damage to such an AS. Among the three machines, one is red and the other two are blue and gray. They are all made by Amalgam. They are the commander's special machine and the machine used by the Execution Unit elite. They were covered under the ruins before they could join the battle, completely cheapening Xiao Ran.
Xiao Ran naturally acquired these machines to enhance the strength of this plundering team. The M6 could not bring out the true strength of the twin sisters Yulan and Yufang. In addition, there was also a mercenary C. L who was formerly Execution Unit. It can be said that the owners of the three machines have been determined.
At the beginning, Xiao Ran originally brought the M6 as a transportation tool, and did not regard these three M6s as real combat forces at all.
After everything was contained, Xiao Ran controlled Fortress Mode and Variable Fighter also landed on the ground of the Gnaku, and the hatch above was slowly closed, blocking off the rising sun.
After getting off the Variable Fighter, Xiao Ran also shook his head slightly when he saw that the warehouse had become a lot crowded after just one operation. This cargo ship was not really built for loading AS, so even though it has an area the same size as the Danner's Son warehouse, it is actually not as capable of loading as the Danner's Son. The layout is not so reasonable due to the limitations of the hull.
The problem of the lifting platform alone is a big trouble. Not every AS and transport helicopter has an independent lifting platform. It is convenient for the AS to walk up to the lifting platform and contact the transport aircraft. However, the transport aircraft does not have such a function, so every time it is moved and recovered, it must be manually transported to the designated place by equipment, which is very troublesome.
At least when Xiao Ran left Gnaku, the entire Gnaku was very noisy. Everyone was busy seizing the time to deal with the tedious tasks brought to them by the completion of the operation.
Not long after returning to the room, Xiao Ran, who had just changed his clothes and took a shower, opened his door and let in the two sisters Hayashimizu Atsunobu, Luo, and Yufang Yulan who were waiting outside.
Hayashimizu Atsunobu still looks like a white suit. He always keeps his hair neat and meticulous at all times, and he also wears clothes of the same color but with slightly different styles.
The two sisters Luo and Yufang Yulan were not like Xiao Ran. They could just go back to their room and take a comfortable bath without caring about anything after returning to the freighter. Instead, they had to wait until they were almost busy with things in Gnaku and no longer needed them before they could leave.
Xiao Ran At this time, his upper body was just covered with a white towel, revealing the perfect muscles on his body that had been strengthened by Prometheus. Although he did not feel like a real muscular man, he looked very powerful.
After sitting on the sofa, Xiao Ran took a document from Hayashimizu Atsunobu's hand. When he opened it, it clearly listed all the results of their mission. Three Transport Aircrafts, three ASs, two boxes of gold and several sundries (famous paintings, wine, various collectibles). The information and data deliberately collected by the action team were still being processed, and there was no way to know if there was any important information.
Putting the file on the table casually, Xiao Ran glanced at the twin sisters standing in a row with expressionless faces, and then at Luo who was leaning against the wall in the back, bored, and finally said to Hayashimizu Atsunobu who was standing elegantly in front of him, "The biggest gain from this operation is that the three machines have actually tested our ability to move. At least for now, I think the results are pretty good."
"Although there is nothing too valuable in this stronghold, it is just a matter of convenience. As long as it is a stronghold of Amalgam, whether there is any harvest is not the key. The goal is to weaken the strength of Amalgam."
"Just watch and deal with those messy things. Just bring me some wine. I'll also try what the wine collected by Commander Amalgam tastes like."
Xiao Ran also smiled when he said this. Although Xiao Ran usually doesn't drink much, and even if he drinks, he will not get drunk like ordinary people, but it is common to drink some in his spare time. 0079 World, SEED World, and Fleet World Xiao Ran often have a few drinks for their own entertainment.
Xiao Ran is not sure when he developed this habit, but it seems that Cardias and Cruze really brought it up. Xiao Ran gradually fell in love with the feeling of stimulating the mouth and throat, so after seeing that there was a batch of fine wine in the harvest, Xiao Ran couldn't control his greed.
Two large boxes of gold and many famous paintings may be a huge amount of wealth to most people, but to people like Hayashimizu Atsunobu, they may not really be eye-catching, they just have a little value.
However, as the plundering operation continues, it is very likely that more wealth will be plundered in the next operation. If accumulated, it will be a considerable amount of income, so Hayashimizu Atsunobu does not really look down on these things.
The end of the first operation was a test of the combat strength of this plundering team, and it was confirmed that their temporary miscellaneous army indeed had the power to fight against an army. Of course, without Xiao Ran, the miscellaneous army would be just a miscellaneous army, and it would be impossible to have such power.
It also made Hayashimizu Atsunobu see the power and terror of Xiao Ran. What he witnessed with his own eyes was always more shocking than what he heard on the road, so he also became more respectful in his words and actions. This is a kind of respect that should be paid to the strong, but Whether Xiao Ran can convince him even more in the coming time, and convince the entire Lin Quan Family and all collaborators, will require Xiao Ran to show stronger power and better leadership skills.
Hayashimizu Atsunobu nodded and asked, "Then what is our next goal?"
Xiao Ran groaned and said, "Although this operation has achieved some gains, in my opinion, it has not achieved the goal I expected at all. Although I have been mentally prepared, the sooner we can get the important equipment and materials we need, the faster the development over there will be."
"The next operation will directly target the important facilities, factories or research institutes of amalgam. I will tell you after the specific targets are determined. There is no need to change our direction and we will continue to move towards the north."
Hayashimizu Atsunobu nodded. "Okay, I will inform you later."
"Well." Xiao Ran turned to look at the silent twin sisters and said, "Yulan and Yufang, you should have a better understanding of the three recovered ASs. Cooperate with Technicians on the ship to adjust the airframes to a level that you can use. The three airframes will be left to you two and C. L to drive, and the airframes will be allocated by yourself."
As the elder sister, she nodded expressionlessly. "Yes."
"Go." Xiao Ran waved to the two of them, and after the two sisters walked out of the room, he continued to say to Hayashimizu Atsunobu, "Let the following cooperate with them, but please pay more attention to these two people on the ship. If there is any abnormality, tell me or Luo."
Hayashimizu Atsunobu glanced at the closed door, nodded slightly and said, "These two people have always given me a very dangerous feeling. My heart tells me to be careful about them, so I will pay attention even if you don't tell me. But Mr. Xiao, can you feel at ease with such a person?"
"There's nothing to worry about. These two are just emotionless tools, loyal and fearless. But unfortunately, they never really obey my orders, but obey their teacher's words. The reason why they stay here is because that person told them to obey my arrangements, so as long as they don't get updated orders, there is no threat to us."
"For this, just disconnect them. What's more, they don't have any threat from this ability, so they can use it with confidence. As for that man, I can just give him what he expects, and before he has the power to resist me, he knows what he should and shouldn't do with his intelligence. You don't have to worry about these things. You just need to make people watch their every move."
After talking to Hayashimizu Atsunobu and asking him about the situation in Japan, Hayashimizu Atsunobu said goodbye and left, leaving only Xiao Ran and Luo in the room.
After all three unrelated people left, Luo sat directly opposite Xiao Ran and said helplessly, "Captain, one base has only completed 4% of the completion rate. Do we have to scan all the strongholds and bases of Amalgam to complete the mission?"
One of Amalgam's bases was destroyed by Xiao Ran himself, while Main Mission only achieved 4% more completion. There were still twenty-four such bases to be killed before the mission was completed.
This is what Luo is worried about. If the twenty-four bases are wiped out, their combat power can be said to be seriously insufficient, and various unplanned dangers will arise due to the prolongation of time. It is impossible for Amalgam to lay out twenty-four bases for them to attack one by one. After learning lessons, they will still be unprepared.
It will only become more difficult to deal with each time, and cause more trouble each time.
Let's not talk about whether Amalgam has so many such bases, but just one or two being wiped out like this is enough for Amalgam to pay attention. If you walk too much at night, you are afraid of meeting ghosts, not to mention that Amalgam is still planning to plunge the entire world into a fight. Maybe it will be ambushed by the other party at some point, and something may really happen.
However, Xiao Ran was not worried at all when looking at Main Mission II who had only 4% completion. So what if it was 4%. Even if it was only 1%, Xiao Ran would still have the confidence to complete the task. The weakening of the amalgam was necessary. The more their bases were dealt with, the less pressure they would have in the future.
The more materials that are plundered for amalgam, the stronger one's own strength will be. Simply relying on raiding amalgam strongholds is certainly not the best way to complete the task, and it is also the most dangerous, most labor-intensive and worst way.
The purpose of Xiao Ran this time is to complete Main Mission II, which is also to plunder the amalgam equipment, but the priority is of course to plunder the equipment. As for the task, of course it is to complete it while looting the equipment, and the speed and difficulty of completion are actually not as difficult as Luo thought.
When it comes to Hostile Faction, it is actually not just an amalgam. Xiao Ran, who has experienced so many missions, and understands the trends of various worlds, knows exactly what justice represents, and the most critical point is peace and protection.
Although it cannot be said that those who disturb the peace must be bad guys and evil, they are in opposition to peace and the protection of nature. Xiao Ran He only needs to determine his position, and then he can naturally try to see if all those who disturb the peace are part of the mission.
So if so, Soviet Union, the United States, the two countries that are preparing to provoke a world war, can also be counted among them. Dealing with Soviet Union, dealing with the United States is much easier than dealing with amalgam.
