Chapter 245, peace of mind comes from son
What is security for?
Prevent assassinations, prevent unrest, protect masters... They may have better training and better equipment than the army, and are more professional in certain tasks of protecting important personnel. However, when the scene turns into a large-scale war, the differences in expertise levels, training methods, and weapons and equipment become a weakness.
The security forces lack heavy firepower and anti-armor capabilities. Facing the artillery, it was difficult to counterattack; facing the so-called Kingdom Knights, those sentinel mechas equipped with two Ranger-class Knight Titans were at a complete disadvantage.
Their numbers are far inferior to those on the opposite side. Under the impact of the opponent's huge cannon fodder, having to withstand the artillery bombardment, and having to suffer key assaults led by the Knight Titan and numerous sentinel mechas among them, Gu's security defense line was continuously compressed and broken through.
The situation soon became dangerous.
At this time, Wang Qi made another decision that she later regretted and may have been wrong: to stay put.
She hoped to be able to hold on until the rescue of the Angry Owl Legion in the town outside the city; in addition, they also contacted the Chamber of Commerce fleet in the sky to provide orbital support and send a landing spacecraft to pick up people from the air.
But soon, bad news from all sides came one after another.
The Raging Star army in a suburban town was also raided and is currently fighting fiercely;
There is a rebellion on the Chamber of Commerce fleet in space around the planet. Among the eight chamber of commerce fleets controlled by Wang Qi, each has its own internal turmoil. The four fleets directly under her control are okay, but the other four fleets that are allies have bigger problems.
In addition, the four armed merchant fleets controlled by Gu Ming were also threatening them, making it impossible for them to occupy the orbit of the planet.
What's more worth mentioning is that Black Arrow Star is not a place without any air defense capabilities. It might be a big problem to go elsewhere, but in Pinser City where the war broke out, there was an orbital air defense system imported by the Luman Kingdom at a large price.
It is impossible to occupy the orbit and carry out accurate orbital strikes; even if the several spacecrafts forcibly dispatched escape the interference and attack of Gu Ming's ships, they will be locked by Pinser City's orbital air defense system during the process of entering the atmosphere. Live, and then the volley was wiped out.
Reinforcements could not arrive, and air evacuation could not be realized. The knights of the Luman Kingdom were advancing in full swing, and the defense line was smashed to pieces... Only then did Wang Qi realize that it was impossible to defend and she had to break out.
However, it was a little late to prepare for a breakout at this time.
Even when the decision was made to break out, three Sentinel mechas acted as vanguards, opened the door and rushed into the banquet hall!
Everything became extremely chaotic.
The three Sentinel mechas were finally killed. Wang Qi didn't know exactly how they were killed. She just remembered that when she turned around to look while she was being protected by her bodyguards and ran away, she saw three wreckage.
But the breakout process was not smooth sailing. They were intercepted and attacked many times, and her bodyguards died one by one. When she was almost at the end of the road, when she had to take the last resort to save her life, La Crocha, who broke out of the tight siege and led dozens of special forces soldiers, arrived.
The 10th Special Forces Brigade deployed about 500 people to join the expeditionary force. The main force among them, together with the legion, are in the small town on the outskirts of Pinser City. Only the fifty most elite among them, led by La Crocha, formed a team and entered Wang Qi's close security team.
But throughout, their roles are unimportant. More of it exists as a communication channel between the security forces and the main force of the angry owl star in the suburbs. The fundamental reason is that they are 'outsiders' who are not on the same level as the security team. On the one hand, they are not subordinate to each other and feel a bit excluded. On the other hand, La Crocha and other special operations elites are essentially soldiers. , are soldiers, and protecting VIPs is not their specialty.
But now, it's war.
This falls within their professional scope.
La Crocia led his men to eliminate the enemy troops entangled with Wang Qi, and then continued to protect her and headed out of the city.
During this process, the number of enemies has never been small.
They sacrificed one comrade after another, and had to divide their forces to attract the enemy's attention time and time again to survive the difficulties.
Until now, La Crocia has brought her to the edge of the city. They rested in a deserted alley and argued for a few words. Wang Qi herself was not yet safe, but she was still thinking about how to save the Chamber of Commerce fleet lords who didn't know whether they were alive or dead.
As a result, not only did La Crocia completely reject her request, but they also ran into trouble again.
What appeared outside the alley was a 'Kingdom Knight', a sentry mecha.
Wang Qi is ready to assist at any time.
In her opinion, although this young man named La Crocha has outstanding skills, how can he deal with a steel machine when he is alone now?
Not to mention, there are seven fully armed soldiers beside this sentry mecha.
They had also encountered Sentinel mechas during their previous breakouts and escapes. But when they encounter this situation, they usually avoid it if they can; if they can't avoid it, they usually divide their troops and let another team attract the target away, and then evacuate.
They were always very cautious and never tried to have a head-on confrontation with the Sentinel mecha.
But now, there is no escape.
Wang Qi was also ready to use the last resort to save her life, and used the psychic flintlock in her hand, which could only be used four times, to help La Crocia fight.
However, this young soldier from the Raging Star, who had just claimed to himself that he only wanted to save her life and would not obey her orders, used a series of performances to leave her speechless.
Even in an alley, his figure showed extreme agility.
A Sentinel mecha uses a double-barreled machine gun to fire rapidly into a narrow alley. What a desperate scene must this be?
But La Crocha just avoided it all.
He could be said to be flying over a wall, stepping on the wall and running up to a height of more than two meters.
The kingdom knight chased him and shot, the bullets following his heels, but none of them hit. And even if the Kingdom Knight changed his approach and planned to use high-speed fire to block all possible routes of action of La Crocha, he would still be able to avoid him in another incredible way.
Of course, what La Crocha did was not to dodge bullets, but essentially to predict and dodge before the machine gun came.
Moreover, no matter how exaggerated his physical fitness and reaction speed were, he couldn't really keep hiding like this. But it's only two or three seconds, and that's enough.
During this process, the bolter in La Crocha's hand also fired a string of bullets, accurately killing all the accompanying soldiers around the Sentinel mecha, and at the same time, the bullets hit the Sentinel mecha. On the observation scope.
Only a dozen explosive bombs were fired in total, but he did all this with extremely precise shooting skills while the snakeskin was moving.
It didn't even take seven bullets to kill the seven accompanying soldiers. Taking advantage of the micro-explosive properties of the explosive bombs, four bullets were enough; the remaining ten were all hit on the observation sight of the sentinel mecha. .
The sight structure of the Sentinel mecha is still strong enough, but it cannot withstand ten precise bursts of fire.
On its head, a position similar to a human eye, was blown to pieces. Suddenly, the sentinel mecha's attack became chaotic and unbridled - the kingdom knights inside could no longer see the situation outside.
Now, the operator inside was pulling on the lever, which put him in a very embarrassing situation.
He can lift up the Sentinel's visor. Although it integrates quite a few auxiliary system functions and observation functions, since it has been accurately exploded, it must be given up. Later, he can also fight with his naked eyes.
But...he didn't dare.
In the battle just now, he had personally experienced that the enemy he was facing had almost completely accurate shooting skills. He had never seen anything like this in his life. He was no longer just a sharpshooter.
He was afraid that as soon as the helmet was lifted up, he would be hit by a bullet in the head.
Then he would end up with the same fate as the person who just fell down next to him in two seconds.
However, soon he no longer had to think about this issue.
After a moment, an extremely burning feeling passed through his chest.
In the ultra-narrow cockpit of the Sentinel mecha, the Kingdom Knight couldn't even lower his head to look at his injuries. But he could feel that his heart and left lung had been completely burned through.
……
Watching the Sentinel mecha fall, La Crocha confirmed that it had completely lost its combat capabilities.
He put the fully charged plasma pistol back into the gun bag on his leg, turned around and found Wang Qi again.
The shock on Wang Qi's face has not dissipated: "You... do all the soldiers under your governor have your strength?"
"Uh..." La Crocia really thought about it, and then said seriously: "No."
"I was overthinking it. How could there really be so many warriors like you? However, since you have the ability to destroy a Sentinel mecha, why didn't you use it before?"
"Because of the risk." La Crocha said, "As long as I made a mistake just now, I would be the one who died. I don't mind life and death that much, but if I die, the task of protecting you will not be completed. So, no I didn’t want to take the risk in the situation I was forced into just now.”
"So that's it... It's a pity for those soldiers who divided their forces to attract the enemy's attention."
"It's no pity, this is their mission." La Crocha said, then he thought for a moment and added, "And don't act like they have sacrificed, they are all the most elite warriors. , it’s not that easy to die. I have left our special mark for them along the way. If they see it, they will follow us all the way.”
"I hope so."
Saying this, Wang Qi actually didn't have high hopes.
La Crocha didn't say much, just urging him to get on his way quickly.
A fight just broke out here and it's no longer safe.
And dozens of minutes later, a scene that surprised Wang Qi happened.
Not only did La Crocha take him almost out of the city of Pinser, but as he said, his comrades actually came looking for him.
There were fifty people in total, and when we returned to the team, there were still forty-two. Although they looked a little embarrassed, they were able to perform the task of attracting the enemy's attention and get away. After that, they only lost eight of them all the way here. And according to the intelligence exchange between them, they were here At least two hundred enemy soldiers were killed along the way.
This is quite an exaggerated performance, and Wang Qi is already a little numb.
She originally thought that warriors like La Crocha were unique. But he didn't expect that although these comrades of his were not that powerful, they were all so strong.
——How can it not be strong? Those whom La Crocha selected and brought to her were the most elite soldiers of the 10th Brigade. And this means that these soldiers are all T2 level warriors trained by Gu Hang in the military card system. They were eliminated at the last stage of the process of selecting new blood of space warriors. Each of them spent eleven points of gifts from Gu Hang. And not everyone has the potential to be trained to this level.
In comparison, those security forces around Wang Qi who were hired at high prices and focused on cultivating loyal security forces were not very successful. None of them betrayed, but almost all of them were wiped out.
Under the current situation, Wang Qi had no other ideas. She just followed La Crocia and others and continued to break out.
Midway, they also contacted the headquarters of the Alliance Expeditionary Force again and learned that a surprise response force was on the way.
After spending some time, they finally connected with the army.
That was a team from the 38th Mechanical Brigade.
All 18 Lion tanks of the entire brigade were pulled out, along with more than 100 infantry fighting vehicles, and more than 2,000 mechanized or motorized infantrymen, racing all the way.
After the two sides met, Wang Qi was protected by the army, and she finally put her hanging heart back into her stomach.
But then, she had a rather strange feeling: when she looked around, everyone was unfamiliar.
She can be considered as unfamiliar with the people around her.
None of these people are her subordinates. Her needs will be met as much as possible, but in reality, no one will follow her orders directly.
These are all the wealth accumulated by her good-for-nothing son who used to hate iron but not steel. Now, if she wants to survive in this alien land, she depends on these people.
However, besides the feeling of being 'uncomfortable', she also felt an inexplicable sense of peace of mind.
This peace of mind comes from super soldiers like La Crocha; from the outstanding individual strength of special teams; from steel monsters such as Lion tanks and infantry fighting vehicles...
From her son.
