Greed is one of the greatest original sins of mankind. Almost all wars and atrocities accompanying human history are related to greed, just like what is happening in the Free Port of Toltai at this moment.
The jump thrusters of the three starships all need major or minor repairs, which will take a lot of time. Although traveling through the subspace may seem as simple as walking from inside to outside the house, in fact there are countless interstellar craft lost in the world of subspace throughout history, and no one knows where they are or what happened to them. Yi Lexiang didn't want himself and the special mecha regiment that had just escaped from the clutches of the Empire to fall into this unknown danger. He and Liu Geng got into the bottom of the starship's deck and started repairing the starship. No one but the two of them could help them with this delicate work.
People of unknown origin in the Starship Dockyard are gradually gathering over time, and it is easy to see from their twinkling eyes that these people have evil intentions. News that the Kador defense line may collapse began to spread, which intensified these people's desire to acquire advanced mecha skills. At first, some small groups tried to cross the soldiers' cordon and approach the starship docked at the dock. Then they withdrew under the threats of soldiers' scoldings and warning shots.
"Let the soldiers withdraw." Chen Yatian has been paying attention to the development of the situation through the external monitor. He had dealt with similar things when he was in the special operations team, and soon the temptation from the outside would evolve into a real attack, especially when the first drop of blood began to flow, the attack would start to become crazy, and then become more and more violent as the blood began to flow. The flow goes from madness to terror to eventual collapse.
Xin Qiang wore a piece of heavy individual armor and shouted the retreat order loudly. Although he was in the command cabin and there was an external communication terminal in front of him, he still liked to issue orders through airborne communications. It seemed that doing so made him There is an immersive feeling. Chen Yatian was unable to stop Xin Qiang's behavior, so he had to arrange for two guards to keep a close eye on him. Such a big guy wandering around in the command cabin was not only annoying, but also the individual armor equipped with an internal small mobile drive was very difficult for the precision of the command cabin. Instruments are also a big threat. But before it was time to deploy this "big killer", he still had to endure this "big guy" dancing around in the command module for the time being. The fun had just begun.
Inside the starship, which is invisible to people, hundreds of mechas are ready to go. The light from the top of the corridor shines on the mecha's black crystal cockpit, and the smooth shell reflects the cold light. Soon this place will become a place. A bloody slaughterhouse. Behind the mecha, soldiers in dozens of heavy tanks started the self-inspection program of the tanks, made a gentle beeping sound, and got ready together.
In a metal house outside the dock, dozens of leaders from several small groups were arguing endlessly over who would launch the first attack. Most of the people here are exiled pirates, and a small group of criminal groups in another metal room not far from this building are also holding the same meeting.
The real big families in Freeport have not appeared here. Compared with the madness of these criminals and pirates, these big families have more things to consider, especially the strength of the fugitive soldiers mentioned by the Xiayan family is their real concern. . Since there are people willing to be cannon fodder now, it is of course the best. There are seven or eight unmanned detectors floating in the sky above the dock. Obviously, there are many people paying attention to the situation in the dock.
¡°Boss, why don¡¯t we get involved?¡± A young man with a cigarette in his mouth and a puff of smoke controlled the unmanned detector and said without looking back.
Hearing the young man¡¯s words, several lazy strong men half-lying on the sofa looked at him at the same time. The young man felt as if he was being targeted by some kind of beast, and he shuddered involuntarily. "You're kidding, you're kidding, don't take it so seriously. Seriously, haven't you guys left the army a long time ago?"
A big man with only half a bottle of red wine left in his hand stood up and walked behind the young man, "Boy, you don't understand. Keep your eyes on the screen, maybe we can help them."
"Oh my god, there are "Wolf", "One Eye" and "Flower of the Stars" there. Damn it, these are Toltai's leading small groups. Do we need to be so desperate?" The young man kept manipulating. He watched the unmanned detector pass over the dock, "Look what else I found. This is the emblem of the "Tumo Family". Damn, there are also members of the "Team of Heaven". I bet the other families are there too. Pay attention here." The young man shouted in surprise, pointing at the several unmanned detectors that had just passed by on the screen.
There was a gloomy look on the big man's face, and it seemed that there were many people interested in Charno's defeated army in the dock. Are these Charno soldiers crazy? The news of having advanced mecha skills revealed in Freeport is undoubtedly a lone wolf entering a hungry pack of wolves, and may soon be torn to pieces. He hesitantly looked back at the big men behind him.
How many years???, the Empire invaded Charno, and they who were stationed in the star system on the edge of Charno were instantly defeated by the surging Imperial army. He fled with his brothers and escaped the encirclement and suppression of the imperial army. Later, they were shocked to find that one-third of the star field in Charno had become an occupied area. From then on, they changed from soldiers to pirates until today.
It is not easy to survive in this chaotic era. Now it is just because the other party is a Charno soldier. Is it worth fighting for these strangers? He hesitated.
But then his doubts were dispelled by the determined faces of the team members. Perhaps only soldiers can understand the heart of a soldier. A bright smile appeared on his face, and he raised the bottle in his hand and drank hard. A few sips of wine.
¡°What a bunch of lunatics.¡± The young man who witnessed all this muttered to himself, feeling an inexplicable warmth flow through his heart. A year ago, this group of tough men rescued him from a group of vicious interstellar pirates. At that moment, his life no longer belonged to him. "Just fight, my life no longer belongs to me." "He muttered, and a hearty smile filled the room.
The small group that spied on the defeated army of Charno in the dock began to feel tired of this aimless waiting. The docked starships may complete their overhaul at any time and fly away from Toltai. The Autonomous Association of Freeport may not interfere with their actions on the ground, but it is different in space. The Autonomous Council will never allow a blatant attack to take place over the Free Port. It will cause irreparable damage to the reputation of the Free Port, so everything must be done on the ground.
Finally, the pirate group took action first. Several light "Leopard II" land armored vehicles rushed out of the street and rushed towards the starship docked at the dock. Dozens of pirates wearing various individual armors followed closely behind, howling. This was a tentative attack. More pirates were hiding in the metal room near the airport, watching their surroundings with vigilance.
"Let them be gentle, the general is still waiting to catch the big fish." Chen Yatian ordered calmly, with a faint sneer on his face. What really worries them is the Interstellar Free Army of the Autonomous Association. According to the spying of the special reconnaissance team, Toltai's Free Army has about two hundred starships. For a mecha regiment with only three starships, this is considered a small force. Not a small threat. What's more important is that the soldiers driving the starship at this moment are all land combat soldiers, which can ensure normal driving. If an interstellar war really breaks out, it is still unclear who will win. Yi Lexiang hopes everything will be resolved on the ground.
As the pirates approached, dozens of soldiers wearing Charno standard individual armor suddenly appeared near the starship, and for a while, intensive gunshots rang out over the dock. The outer shield of the light armored vehicle made a crisp sound of bullet impact, and the pirates following the armored vehicle began to approach the starship.
"Damn, you guys are acting a little too much." Xin Qiang watched the "Wild Leopard Type II" getting closer and closer, and couldn't help but muttered a few words.
"That's a bit much. Let them knock off the Leopard that sticks out of the formation." Chen Yatian nodded. These pirates must be kept away from the sidelines that can threaten the safety of the starship.
Just as the pirates were advancing confidently and confidently, several ground-to-ground individual guided missiles trailing black smoke were suddenly shot out from the simple fortifications in front of them. The armored vehicle rushing at the front instantly turned into a burning flame, incandescent. The flames also engulfed several pirates hiding behind the vehicle.
The roar of the armored vehicle explosion made all the attacking pirates startled. It seemed that what happened before them was beyond their expectations. It wasn't until this moment that they suddenly realized that they were not facing the criminal gangs fighting for territory on the streets in the past, but a group of regular troops armed to the teeth. After a moment of silence, the remaining "Wild Leopard II" armored vehicles and the remaining dozens of pirates turned around and retreated in the direction of their own people.
The pirate attack lasted only ten minutes and ended in failure. The remains of the "Leopard II" armored vehicle were still burning on the smooth tarmac. Thick black smoke rose to the metal isolation layer and spread along the isolation layer in all directions. , the exhaust system operates automatically, and soon the smoke that obstructs the view begins to dissipate.
The failed attack did not dismay the pirates. All this was expected by them. After all, the Charno army in front of them was a regular army that had just experienced the war. If they wanted to take advantage of them, they had to be prepared to die. "One-Eyed Jack" is the leader of this group of pirates who have temporarily gathered together. He stares at the starship in the distance with his only one eye. From the short battle just now, it is not difficult to see that the defeated army the Xia Yan family talked about is not What is easy to handle is a soft persimmon. This made him feel like he had been deceived. This time, they might have become the training stone in the hands of the big family.
