<Containment Control Begins with Umbrella>

Inside the aircraft carrier's airborne preparation cabin.

I saw that the troops gathered here and preparing to launch an orbital assault later were no longer Helljumpers, but the heavy-duty Marine Corps equipped with CMC.

Wearing CMC Power Armor's heavy equipment Marine Corps, the average height reached more than two meters.

The weapons they hold are no longer the traditional Pulse Series of Marine Corps, but the Gauss Series with extremely strong penetrating ability.

The overall coating of the armor is mainly dark gray, with the Red and White Umbrella logo printed on the shoulder pads on both sides, a typical Umbrella style.

One hundred and twenty heavily armed Marine Corps, in groups of three, boarded the Large Drop Pod specially designed for them.

The three people from Sparta Blue Team also put on their respective helmets and boarded into Large Drop Pod.

When all combatants were ready, the robotic arm on the top of the cabin began to operate and placed Drop Pod on the slide rail.

The cabin begins to depressurize.

The hatch in front of the slide rail opens.

Whoosh!

Forty-one Large Drop Pod ejected instantly, left the aircraft carrier and entered space, and fell towards Europe, which was already early morning.

Kogasi Island.

It is a large island in the Mediterranean Sea, an affiliated island south of France, 170 kilometers away from the French mainland.

But Corsica Island is only about a hundred kilometers away from the east coast of Italy.

There is a large nature reserve on the island, the forest covers a vast area, and it is sparsely populated.

Due to the distribution of agents in proportion to the population, Umbrella deployed fewer agents on the island, mainly concentrated in towns along the coastline.

The agents did not pay special attention to the forest and several abandoned castles in the central part of the island.

After all, there are thousands of castles in Europe, some of which can be purchased for only a few euros...

Of course, if the buyer can afford the high maintenance fees, then he can experience the noble life of the Middle Ages.

What's more, most of the castles are built on cliffs, cliffs and deep forests, and only a few castles with better geographical locations have been converted into tourist attractions.

And deep in the forest of Corsica Island, a huge castle is standing in it.

It is built on the top of a steep hill with only one entrance and exit from the south.

Moreover, the entrance and exit passage is overgrown with shrubs and weeds because it is inaccessible.

In front of the entrance of the castle is a rusty gate, with a no-entry warning sign written in English, French, and Italy on the left.

Viewed from the outside, all the windows of the castle are sealed, and it feels like it has been completely abandoned.

But this is only for ordinary people.

It cannot be said that we have a clear view of the agents lurking in the woods on the south side of the castle, but we can still find clues about the castle.

In the mask image of the individual agent system, there is a looming figure on the wall at the top of the castle.

Judging from the outline, each figure is holding a gun, so it can be judged that these people should be armed guards.

It seems that this is a base of Star of Light Church, and due to the failure of the plundering mission of Shia, the castle has also strengthened its security and seems to be preparing to evacuate.

The main task of the agents lurking here is to monitor and wait for the arrival of the heavy-duty Marine Corps and Sparta Blue Team.

Soon, the internal communication of the agents' helmets came with a reminder of John:

"All agents, please stay away from the target as soon as possible to avoid accidental injuries."

Upon hearing the reminder, all the agents looked up.

I saw forty-one meteors in the sky, falling towards the castle.

Upon seeing this, the senior agent in charge of this surveillance mission immediately stood up and replied, "Yes."

Then several agents stood up one after another, no longer considering the factor of concealment, and began to retreat quickly down the mountain using Mechanical Skeleton.

Soon...

"Boom! Boom!"

The Large Drop Pod, which can carry three heavily equipped Marine Corpss, hits the inside and outside of the castle, directly causing billowing smoke and dust to rise in the area.

"Click! Click!"

The three warehouse doors of Drop Pod were bounced open, and three heavily armed Marine Corps equipped with CMC Power Armor jumped out of the warehouse holding the exclusive large-caliber Gauss Rifle.

The three Heavy Marine ran towards the entrance of the castle, completely ignoring the trees blocking their progress, and directly used Power Armor to rush through.

Just over ten seconds after Drop Pod landed, a large number of heavily armed Marine Corps gathered on the road leading to the castle.

The castle was also attacked by four Drop Pods, including the Drop Pod that the three blue team members were riding.

The warehouse door popped open.

John and others immediately left Drop Pod, and led nine heavily armed Marine Corps to rush towards the interior of the castle.

.

"Ahem! Ahem!"

The armed guards on the city wall were choked by the smoke and dust rising from all directions.

Several of them saw John and others entering the castle. They wanted to use the intercom on their left shoulder to warn, but...

"Ta-ta-ta-ta!"

"Pfft!"

But with the gunfire of Spike Rounds, these people and other guards were dismembered one after another.

After all, Gauss Rifle is a high-penetration weapon used to deal with abnormal phenomena that are difficult to contain. Umbrella rarely uses it on ordinary humans.

For the same reason, pulse and Plasma Gun series are not recommended for use against humans.

Because it's too cruel.

But this Star of Light Church has Individual Equipment that is no less than aaes1, so we have to choose to reinstall Marine Corps and Gauss Rifle to deal with it.

But...

The more reason is that the father and son William and Andre did not want to be left alive at all, so they probably adopted the most brutal method.

Not long after, the armed guards outside the castle were wiped out by Heavy Soldier who were not of the same level.

Several Pelicans also appeared in the sky, carrying technicians and Recovery Unit, flying to the castle to prepare for landing.

At the same time.

The blue team and nine Heavy Soldier have broken into the interior of the castle, and there are no survivors wherever they go.

The visor of the John helmet shows the castle structure diagram of Pulse Scan in the upper left corner, and the Dynamic Detection function also marks possible enemies.

During this period, the voice of Cortana came from the communication. "Master Chief, a large space has been detected under the castle, and the indicator has been generated on your screen."

Since Cortana is still in charge of various matters on the Phantom, she does not follow the blue team, but she can still provide various assistance to the blue team.

John responded quietly, "Okay."

Subsequently, John led the crowd and moved forward according to the instructions given by Cortana.

During the trip, John also found that the interior of the castle was well maintained and the internal passages were clean and bright.

But apart from the ordinary mercenary guards, they did not encounter the elites who attacked the church.

"John, it seems that the group of transformed soldiers and what Star of Light Church wants to hide are all underground in this castle." Karl analyzed.

"It doesn't matter where you are." Mylon said, still full of anger. "You all will die."
