From cannon fodder to sweeping across thousands of stars.

Chapter 317 Amber lets go
opened?
Yes, it's open.

The combat assistance of the powered armor has long been taken over by Lilith. Under her guidance, there is no possibility of a light-speed weapon such as a charged particle cannon missing.

So after Amber obtained Lilith, her attitude in battle has always been 'If there is a limit, why don't you fight?' '

The reflexes, spatial awareness, and aiming and locking abilities of a psychic agent are rarely even used.

Although the Quest for Truth Foundation can obtain a tactical nuclear strike HCP, it is impossible to obtain the key to fully control the launch. If this could be obtained, then the Federation should not be called the Federation now.
Because of this, their HCP uses some kind of mechanical detonation device.

Therefore, it is 'very simple' to prevent a nuclear bomb from detonating, just cut off the connection between the tactical nuclear bomb launch box and the body, and this is exactly what Amber is doing now.

In the last few seconds before breaking out of stealth, he found an excellent sideways position. The purple charged particle beam emitted by the charged particle cannon directly irradiated the most critical connection mechanism.

The two-second irradiation time directly cut off this part completely, and the entire launch box fell to the ground with a clang.

Seeing this scene, Amber secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If the Foundation thought about detonating a nuclear bomb again, it would have to send people to rush to the launch box and use the 'one-button detonation' mechanical device that came with the launch box to detonate it.

However, after breaking out of stealth, Saleh, the puppet master, and the foundation soldiers all noticed the existence of this third party.

Under the mind control of the puppet master, they planned to continue detonating the nuclear bomb without any hesitation.

Seeing this scene, the electromagnetic machine gun in Amber's hand and the charged particle cannon on her shoulder irradiated the past, accurately beating the armed technicians into a pile of burnt rotten flesh.

At this time, the puppet master couldn't figure out the origin of this sudden appearance of power armor.

"Kill him!"

These rockets with plasma warheads, guided by multiple laser beams from the laser pointer on the head of the power armor, covered the Foundation team.

The only HCP squeezed into the sleeping area immediately fired up the close-range defense lasers on both sides of the head monitor to set up a temporary air defense net for the team.

Although he had indeed never seen a similar type of power armor, from the appearance it was clearly made by humans and not in the style of Forerunner creations.

Thinking of the optical stealth ability that the opponent had just demonstrated, and the martial virtue of staring at his own 'victim' and accurately knocking out the nuclear bomb launch box, he believed that it was the latter possibility.

Although Amber wanted to say, 'You keep fighting, leave me alone and don't use nuclear bombs~', the Foundation obviously didn't think so.

Facing this uninvited guest, the puppet master gave the attack order without hesitation.

When the smoke was blown away, the Foundation soldiers who had just been shrouded in smoke just saw the scene in front of them clearly when they saw a blue-gray powered armor rushing towards them.

Seeing this, the puppet master raised his hand and swept over with a psychic impact that reduced the intensity but increased the range.

The empty rocket nest was abandoned and fell to the ground.

"Click! Click! Click!"

"Bang!"

In the Forerunner ruins, except for your own team, all other living creatures are enemies - this is what the Quest for Truth Foundation wrote in the 'Execution Guidelines'.

At the same time, the rocket launcher nest on the right shoulder shot out all the laser-guided rockets in the launcher nest like a goddess scattering flowers.

Although some of the rockets were successfully detonated, another part of the rockets that escaped the close-range laser interception fell into the team. The high-temperature plasma fireball generated by the explosion instantly devoured all units within the range.

Fierce firepower immediately covered Amber's side, and at the same time, several people who looked like armed technicians rushed towards the nuclear bomb launch box.

In other words, someone entered the ruins in advance, or just followed their team.

However, the explosion of the rocket was not the end. Before the high-temperature plasma fireball was completely extinguished, more than a dozen smoke bombs were fired. The smoke that quickly spread with the help of the bomb explosion covered a large area.

A three-section folded two-handed sword was taken off and unfolded by Amber, and light blue plasma light lit up along the edge of the blade.

This was the last sight these Foundation soldiers saw.

Amber's power armor showed agility that was completely inconsistent with his size. Whether it was his sprint or sword swing speed, it exceeded the limit that ordinary soldiers could capture. The surrounding soldiers only saw a series of flashes of blue light, and the companions who were approached by Amber turned into stumps that fell to the ground.

Taking HCP's Heavy Sword as the prototype and using high-temperature plasma restrained by a directed magnetic field as the blade, this 'experimental fighting sword' used in the power armor successfully demonstrated the effect that everyone in the equipment research and development center wanted to see. .

Although the Foundation's soldiers are all equipped with combat exoskeletons and external armor plates, there is not much difference between the rapid slashes of this sword and their naked bodies.

Soon, the puppet master also guessed Amber's combat intentions. He planned to completely destroy the nuclear bomb launch box so that it would not be detonated again in a short time.

Thinking of this, the foundation's on-site executive stopped playing 'RTS'. He waved his hands and pulled out two psychic lightning bolts, and then rushed towards Amber's position.

"boom!"

The two blurry figures collided together, followed by a series of dazzling attacks.

Both of them activated their psychic shields to attack. The collision of psychic lightning and plasma blades produced rays of light one after another, and the collision of psychic shocks also continuously blasted out shock waves visible to the naked eye.

This is the strongest opponent Amber has encountered in single combat since she came to this world, and she is also the one who can maintain a confrontation with him for such a long time.

It's not that the battle with the puppet made Amber feel any pressure, but that he could finally go all out without any scruples and have a hearty psychic duel.

Although the surrounding Foundation soldiers also wanted to support the puppet master, it was difficult for them to see the two figures clearly at the moment, let alone aim at the target.

Covering attacks is a feasible method, but wouldn’t that also cover the puppet master?

So at this moment, a strange scene appeared on the battlefield - Amber and the puppet master were fighting, while other members of the Foundation and Saleh were 'watching'.

However, this scene did not last long. Amber, who was fighting with his hands free and better equipped, gradually gained the upper hand.

Then he used a set of smooth combos to show the puppet master what it meant to be a "double sword and gun" in the era of powered armor.

Continuous slashes with one hand holding the sword forced the puppet master to give up the attack, followed by a volley of electromagnetic machine guns and charged particle cannons, plus a face-shaking psychic impact. The Foundation psyker finally Losing his ability to parry, he could only put his hands in front of his body and use a shield to resist.

By the time the attack was over, Amber was no longer where she was.

In just a few seconds, he had already rushed to the position of the tactical nuclear bomb launch box. In other words, he had been deliberately guiding the 'battlefield' to this side during the battle just now.

When the puppet master watched Amber easily smash the mechanical control device of the launch box with his two-handed sword, he knew that the idea of ​​blasting this place with a nuclear bomb was miscalculated.

"Sart, take your people and leave."

Upon hearing this, Sater Isen rushed towards the gate with his men without thinking.

The remaining Foundation soldiers, under the control of the puppet master, rushed towards Amber's position one after another.

At the same time, a big hole was finally removed from the door of the cryogenic dormancy area.

The HCP and main battle tanks that were blocked at the door before will now directly crush the dormant cabin on the ground and rush in.

These mechanical units launched an attack on Amber with stronger firepower, and the Puppet Master also took this opportunity to 'float' to the gate and connect the communication with the outer Foundation fleet.

"Be prepared to receive the people evacuated from the ruins. Everyone will disengage immediately after boarding the ship.

Recall all patrol fleets and prepare to focus on setting fire to this ruins! "

While he was speaking, Amber, who was covered by fire, did not choose to resist, but rushed in the direction of Saleh.

This Forerunner, who had been sleeping for two million years, was still not fully awake. It was not until this backward powered armor rushed past her that she finally reacted.

"Damn it! This guy wants to use me as a human shield?!"

At the same time that the idea came to mind, the Foundation's attack simultaneously covered the area.
