Byron's Blade

After lunch, the march continued.The speed was even faster now, and the large army was advancing rapidly on the not spacious road, making a huge roar in the jungle.It is worth mentioning that the way the mecha advances is not running.All the mechs are in the driving mode, with their legs bent, as if they are kneeling on the ground, and the part of the calf bone is turned out of the wheels, so that they can move forward more quickly.The forward speed of the mech is very fast, and it is much more flexible than the bulky armored vehicle.

At about 5:[-] p.m., Mu Li, who was sitting in the armored vehicle, received a message from the whole army. The large forces of the third squadron had appeared on the radar and would meet up in [-] minutes.

After that, a large number of green punctuation points can be seen on the small map, forming two green ribbons on the map, like wild geese in herringbone formation, slowly approaching.

At 55:[-], Mu Li felt the car stop, and they finally joined the main force.

The car stopped for 5 minutes and still didn't start. Although the soldiers didn't make a commotion, they all had doubts in their hearts.About another minute later, a strange female voice came from Mu Li's earphones:

"Second Lieutenant Mu Li, and Sergeant Rogge, please get out of the car and come to the head of the line."

After hearing this, Rogge got up immediately, opened the door of the armored vehicle, and jumped down.Mu Li followed closely, and Rogge's excited voice sounded in the earphone:

"Second lieutenant, the captain is calling us, we can finally go back to our troops."

It turned out that the strange female voice just now was the voice of Chris Fussman, and it sounded quite cold.

Mu Li followed behind Rogge, running fast all the way, going to the front along the team.First, they ran past armored vehicles, and then left behind the neatly lined mecha teams. However, the five-meter-wide narrow road was already occupied by the teams, and the gravel road was still under their feet.The vegetation on both sides has been cleared out, but it is overgrown with weeds.Running all the way, winding and long, it is full of army green camouflage as far as the eye can see, like a giant steel dragon lying quietly in the virgin forest, the scene is quite spectacular.

After running for about two or three minutes, the road turned, indicating that they had already entered the road where the main force was.Not long after that, they saw the first giant armored vehicle, equipped with advanced weapons such as artillery, with a flag printed with the emblem of the Mech Brigade on it.Mu Li knew in his heart that this was probably the commanding vehicle of the third squadron.Behind the command vehicle, an empty mecha is pulled. Its style is different from Ares 3 and 1. It looks very beautiful, and its body is silver-white.It must not be ordinary soldiers who can own this kind of high-end mecha. Mu Li guessed that this is the car of Captain Chris.

They met the highest officer of the third squadron, Captain Chris Forsman, in the command vehicle.This is a beautiful woman with long black hair and brown eyes. She is tall, even half a head taller than Mu Li.She looked very young, but she just stood there briefly, but she showed a strong edge, worthy of being the commander of the ace division.

"Mu Li reports!"

"Roger report!"

The two saluted Captain Chrissy at the same time. At this moment, they had already removed their helmets, because there was oxygen supply in the commander's vehicle.

"Just come back." Captain Chris returned the military salute, her voice sounded much gentler than the radio.The car was very spacious, and there were two people standing beside her. One was Lieutenant Jill, and the other was a male officer of medium build, with an Asian face, short crew cut, firm lines, and a hard jaw. beard.

Mu Li couldn't help but look at him more, because he was his immediate boss, the squadron leader of the left wing squadron——Lieutenant Lu Diyun.

Lu Diyun, Chinese, 36 years old this year, has been in the army for 18 years, has never been to a military academy, and is a soldier who has come up step by step from the bottom.The Third Squadron does have factions, headed by Lieutenant Gill, and most of its officers and soldiers are American, known as the "academic faction".Led by Lu Diyun, most of his subordinates are officers and soldiers of Chinese descent, known as the "experienced faction".

Captain Chris, the boss of the Third Squadron, is American, also graduated from a military academy, and is rumored to have a very close relationship with Lieutenant Jill, so the academy faction is regarded as the dominant force in the Third Squadron, and is more valued.But Lu Diyun's left wing is not taking it easy. Chris is a smart person, she knows what checks and balances are, and the bowl of water is very smooth.

These are the messages Mu Li chatted with many soldiers during the bonfire party last night.

"Old Lu, your love general is back, hurry up and take her to the team, we'll be leaving in a while." Chris turned her head to Lu Diyun and said.

Lu Diyun nodded and stood at attention to express his orders.Immediately, he walked up to Mu Li and Rogge, stretched out his hand and patted their shoulders, put on his helmet first, and went to open the air pressure hatch of the lead car.

Mu Li and Rogge followed closely and got out of the leading car. When the door was closed, Mu Li glanced at the scene inside the car for the last time, and vaguely saw Lieutenant Jill approaching Captain Chrissy's ear, and the two were in a close relationship talking about something.

Is there really something between these two people?While gossiping in his mind, Mu Li followed closely behind Lu Diyun who was striding forward.

Lu Diyun said without turning his head: "Xiaomu, Rogge, there is a lot of luck in your ability to survive this danger. It was bad luck to encounter the swarm of insects, and it is a blessing in misfortune to escape from death. I also do it for you. Squeezed a sweat."

"Trouble for the lieutenant." Mu Li said politely.

"No, it's my lack of command ability. The situation was chaotic at the time. It was my responsibility that you and Rogge were dispersed." Lu Diyun said, "You lost your mecha, so take the lead armor on the left wing. Coincidentally, Rui Qiao Just wait there, you hurry up and meet her, she is worried about you to death."

Unexpectedly, Lieutenant Lu, who looked resolute and serious, spoke quite heart-warmingly.He led the two of them to the front armor on the left wing, and pointed to a female officer standing near the armored vehicle.

Mu Li looked in the direction he pointed, and saw a female officer about the same height as her standing straight at the door of the car, with the rank of second lieutenant on the epaulets of the camouflage uniform.Before approaching, the excited voice of that person came from the earphone:

"Ali! You are back! Why don't you contact me, and you don't reply when I send you a message?"

After that, the man strode forward and hugged Mu Li fiercely.

Mu Li was frightened by her enthusiasm, a little at a loss, and replied:

"Sorry...uh...it's been a rough couple of days..."

"How is it? Is your injury better? I heard that you were poisoned." She said again.

"It's okay, it's all over now." Mu Li comforted.

This female officer is Rui Qiao, another deputy captain of the left wing, Mu Li's partner, and Lu Diyun's right-hand man.Because she is wearing a helmet now, Mu Li can't see her face, but Mu Li has seen the photos in her profile before, and knows that she is a Chinese female officer with short black hair and dark brown eyes. She doesn't look very beautiful, but It also has good facial features, and a small black mole at the corner of the mouth is the biggest feature.She has an extroverted and cheerful personality, with a relatively flamboyant temperament, which is in great contrast with Mu Li's personality.

Rui Qiao exchanged pleasantries with Roger again, when Lu Diyun's voice sounded in the three people's earphones:

"Okay, those who should get on the car get on the car, those who should get on the mech get on the mecha, and they are about to leave. If you have anything to say, wait until you return to the city."

Everyone stopped talking, Lu Diyun and Rui Qiao boarded the armored cabin again, Mu Li and Rogge also got into the armored vehicle on the left wing, this time there were only the two of them in the vehicle, and the driver in front, there were only three people .

It wasn't long before the peloton began to move.After experiencing this accident, the entire No. [-] Squadron finally reunited after untold hardships, continued to complete the journey back to the city, and completed this mission.

On the way here, Mu Li didn't see where the target item they were escorting was, and he didn't know what the secret military supplies were, so it was worth the trouble of the ace master.It is reasonable to arrange the scientific research base outside the seven major city-states. Many military scientific research projects are extremely dangerous. If the test base is in a city-state, if an accident occurs, there will definitely be a large number of casualties.And if it is located outside the city, danger can be avoided, losses can be reduced, and at the same time, the confidentiality of military scientific research can be enhanced.

During the march, Mu Li fell into a drowsy state again. Her body was still not fully recovered. The long-distance march was bumpy and tiring, and she was always carrying a heavy load on her body. She was very tired, so her mental state was not good.But before she fell asleep, she heard Rui Qiao's voice coming from the earphone:

"Ari, how's it going? Stayed in Jill's team for a day."

Mu Li woke up startled, reacted for a moment, and then replied:

"They are very enthusiastic..."

"Of course you are enthusiastic. You are a hero and idol. It's just that Jill probably wants to win you over."

Mu Li didn't answer the words, and said instead:

"Is it really okay for the two of us to occupy the channel to chat privately?"

"Oh, I opened a private chat channel, just the two of us chatting, no one else knows."

"Lieutenant Lu knows, he has higher authority than us." Mu Li replied.

"The lieutenant doesn't care." Rui Qiao vowed, and then complained, "You lawful and neutral people are too rigid, relax."

Mu Li's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and after thinking about it for a moment, he remembered that Rui Qiao's information said that she was not from the lawful neutral camp.She is of neutral good alignment, not as disciplined as lawful neutral, but one of the alignments the army is geared toward recruiting.

In the army, there are several camps that do not exist. The first is the chaotic camp. Whether it is chaotic good, chaotic neutral, or chaotic evil, people who do not obey orders are a taboo for military strategists.Secondly, neutral evil cannot enter the army. Such a person is considered to do evil in the disciplined army, and belongs to the category of shit-stirring people.Lawful evil needs to pass a strict review before joining the army, and undergo regular psychological evaluations, which is equivalent to having their brains monitored. People of this camp only exist in a small part of the army.

Therefore, in the army, the four camps of lawful good, lawful neutral, neutral good, and absolute neutral accounted for the vast majority.

Among them, lawful neutral and neutral good accounted for the vast majority. There are very few people who are lawful and good. They belong to the kind of people with lofty moral concepts and personal heroism. In the army, such people are either very popular. Welcome, or very annoying.And the absolutely neutral person seems to be a transparent person wherever he goes, without any sense of existence.But it is also possible to have both sides and have better interpersonal relationships.

When it comes to the absolute neutral camp, I have to mention Lani Friesman. Mu Li checked her information before and found that this female major is actually a member of the absolute neutral camp, which made her feel a little incredible.She looks so strong, she should have a very distinctive personality and self-assertion, but it's just the opposite.Absolutely neutral people have no claim of their own, or their claim is neutrality.When experiencing something, you often choose to be wise and protect yourself.Could it be that this female major is so timid?Or, in fact, she has an absolutely calm attitude towards the world, is impartial, has no emotional tendencies of her own, and is so cold to the point of indifference?

When Mu Li's thoughts were flying, suddenly, a piercing siren sounded in the intercom earphone, which made her tremble with fright, and the armored vehicle also braked suddenly, and Mu Li directly hit the partition on the back of the driver's seat due to inertia. board.Immediately afterwards, Captain Chris's stern yet calm voice sounded through the earphones:

"Enemy attack! The whole army immediately enters the first-level combat state!"

What?Enemy attack!

Mu Li was taken aback, and then saw that on the small map of the mask, the green light spots began to scatter rapidly, and a red light spot suddenly rushed into the team, and it was right near Mu Li's own blue arrow. .

The ground roared, and Mu Li clearly felt that the armored vehicle he was riding was shaking.The terrified curse of the armored vehicle driver in front came from the earphones:

"Damn it, damn it! It's a violent dragon!"

"Second Lieutenant! Get out of the car!" At the same time, Rogge's anxious voice rang in Mu Li's ear, and before Mu Li could react, Rogge had already rushed to the car door, ready to open it and go out.

However, it was too late, there was only an ear-piercing loud noise, and a huge black spike pierced through the roof of the car, and stuck straight into Rogge's back. Fortunately, Rogge dodged in time, but the back armor was cut When it broke, it happened to be where the oxygen cylinder was, and the precious oxygen leaked out immediately.And the sawtooth on the side of the huge spike was less than three centimeters away from Mu Li's nose, and it was close to sawing Mu Li's head in half.

Cold sweat came down Mu Li's body, his body trembled involuntarily, and he froze in place for a moment because of the strong shock.And the huge black spike slowly lifted up and left the car, leaving a terrifying huge hole on the roof, from which one could see the hazy sky above.

The sound of dense artillery fire exploded in the ears like firecrackers at close range, and the shrill scream made Mu Li's hairs stand on end. However, Rogge pushed the car door and jumped out, shouting at the top of his lungs:

"Second Lieutenant! Run!!!"

Mu Li bit the tip of his tongue hard, bleeding directly from the bite.The severe pain made her finally get rid of the stiffness and trembling, and the next second she struggled to get up from the seat, and rushed directly to the outside of the car door.

The moment she just fell out of the armored vehicle, the entire vehicle was pierced from bottom to top behind her, directly hitting the air ten meters high, the battery panels were penetrated, sparks shot out, and the car exploded in mid-air.

Mu Li fell hard to the ground, rolled three times before finally losing the momentum, the unhealed wound on her left arm was torn again, she seemed to hear her ankle "click" and became numb.

Kneeling on the ground, she gasped and raised her head to look at the scene in front of her, then took a deep breath.

A huge and terrifyingly ugly black centipede was standing upright against their armored vehicle. The part exposed to the ground was more than ten meters long, and most of its body was buried under the ground.The densely packed sharp claws on both sides of the body have red and black markings, and the hard body has a cold light, making Mu Li's goosebumps stand up.

"fuc [beep——]!" Mu Li violently yelled, and then directly reached behind his back, and quickly took off his submachine gun/gun.
