Him and their stars

Brigadier General Yeager Soback couldn't help but curl his lips, thinking that it's really hard for you guys to not shout out the words "enemy heraldic machine" after all.

Then, before he could give the order, a grenadier major beside him had already issued an order: "All tactical units, stay on alert and open the safety lock! The combat robots deploy."

Standing at the back of the team were two grenadiers wearing special mechas. They looked like they were doing technical work. After hearing this, they immediately knelt on the ground and opened the box equipment they were carrying. A dozen scorpion-sized robots crawled out from inside and quickly disappeared into the grass.

Drones hovering hundreds of meters in the air are also slowly gathering here - although the main function of these drones is exploration, they are creations of the imperial era after all, so naturally they carry weapons, and even It has the functions of dive impact and self-destruction, and can transform itself into a guided weapon in minutes.

At this time, numerous figures had already appeared in the viewport of Soback's heraldry machine. Just what could be caught with the naked eye were more than a dozen people, all wearing power armor. Among them are two special targets that are more than half a head taller than ordinary mechas and have gorgeous outlines. What else could they be if they weren't heraldic machines?

"Enemy found... Community Crest Machine 2, Blue Guard Class Type 2. Hussar Power Armor 14. Autonomous Power Vehicle 2, model unknown. Distance 2000, still moving forward."

As a result, all the imperial soldiers present pointed their loaded firearms straight ahead.

The situation at the scene suddenly became tense at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Your Excellency, please go to the third column and coordinate the overall situation!" the Grenadier Major said to Sobek. It was not that he doubted the latter's ability, but that he was meticulously implementing the tactical orders of the Imperial Armored Grenadier and Stormtroopers. When his own side had a certain advantage in numbers, equipment, and firepower, the highest commander on site would It should play a role in stabilizing the morale of all soldiers, rather than going to the front line to show off one's courage.

Soback nodded calmly, and while continuing to face the front, he operated the power skateboard of the heraldry machine and began to reverse. He and another psyker besides himself in the team, a Wulfling named Sir Winkton The Astral Knight passed by.

"Don't worry, Your Excellency, I will be the first to fight!" The middle-aged knight with rich fighting experience responded with a respectful expression, and then took out a molten battle ax as big as a wheel and unfolded it. He picked up a tower shield that could be used as a door panel and began to move forward, and soon stood at the front of the team like a mountain.

Soback felt that this man really didn't need to be so brave, but he still retreated behind the two technical sergeants who were still operating the combat robot.

At this time, all the armored grenadiers around them had closed their helmets, and the firemen holding heavy weapons were already conducting the final round of aiming adjustments.

Although the situation was tense, Soback really didn't feel particularly surprised. This RW114 plate continent is located exactly at the junction of the "control areas" of both sides of the world. Now that it is opened, it is equivalent to a new unexplored map in the game. How can the people on the opposite side of the earth not be tempted at all? Woolen cloth?

Moreover, although the two parties have divided their spheres of influence, it is only a verbal agreement between the two parties. How to divide the exploration area of ​​this ring, how and where to draw the center line, which continental plates belong to the empire, which belong to the community, and which should be given to the allies brought by each side... None of the above has been fully discussed. .

At first, some cautious people proposed that a basic policy should be formulated in advance and implemented on paper. Everyone feels that this is a mature and prudent suggestion. If it is implemented, it should be very positive in easing the situation on the scene. It's a pity that after such a long discussion, even the most basic terms have not been implemented.

Thinking about it this way, maybe the top leaders of both parties were prepared for friction from the very beginning.

You can figure this out by looking at the situation at the scene. The soldiers of the empire were obviously ready for interception operations. Of course, the soldiers on the opposite side of the earth also had to respond in kind, and they also raised their firearms. The two quadruped robots following them, which were only at the height of a person's chest and roughly similar in appearance to a powered stretcher, suddenly retracted their hydraulic groups, suspended in the air, and stretched out brackets filled with weapons.

The two sides just pointed their guns at each other and faced off across an open space of nearly 2,000 meters for at least more than a minute. At this time, Miss Viscount Serlu's voice sounded again in Soback's headset: "Your Excellency, at 4 o'clock, there is another group of Earthling troops moving in your direction. They should be preparing to fight with friendly forces. Come closer. I'll bring Group B over here. Also, do you want Groups C and D to gather as well?"

Currently, there are 147 imperial troops currently conducting preliminary exploration in the RW114 continental plate, divided into four unit squads, with two astral knights in each unit. The above troops are all under the unified command of Yeager Soback.

Although the mission is to conduct preliminary exploration, Soback believes that safety always comes first. Therefore, under his arrangement, the distance between the four group units was within 10 kilometers. Once danger occurs, within a quarter of an hour, everyone can completely gather into a company that includes high-altitude suppression of drones and various types of heavy firepower. Eight astral knights can even form two "four elephant formations".

No matter what kind of danger they encounter, such a force should be able to hold on until backup arrives.

Soback looked at the front of his field of vision and found that the Earth soldiers on the opposite side were also in a defensive posture. However, one of the figures wearing a heraldry machine had already left his own queue and walked towards him with a careless and even flawed pace.

He carried a long pole more than three meters long on his back, which seemed to be a large weapon such as an impact spear, but he did not carry it in his hand. The Vulcan cannon was hung on the weapon rack on the shoulder, but the muzzle of the gun was always pointed towards the ground.

Well, these details are enough to show the other party's attitude. After all, it is still unrealistic for a psyker wearing a heraldry machine to fly a white flag.

"Stay alert and don't fire without my order." Soback ordered everyone.

"Also, let the other three groups of people come over. Just come here as normal. Don't do anything like outflanking or blocking the back road." He used another communication channel and ordered Miss Serlu.

The Viscountess paused, as if she didn't understand, but she still forwarded the order.

At this time, the "knight" of the earth was almost within the optimal killing range of the power armor rifle. As he walked, he took off his helmet, revealing the face of a young man in his mid-twenties. .

His facial lines are very sculptural, and he has a bronze complexion, blue-gray hair, and dark yellow eyes.

To alien races, humans actually all look similar, but humans themselves can actually easily tell the difference between Earthlings, Gai humans, and Tirero humans.

And now this young man wearing an earth-style coat of arms has a very typical Tirero face.

The imperial soldiers present suddenly hesitated.

"I am Lieutenant Colonel Long Yuan of the Blue Star Community. I dare to ask, is it Mr. Suo who is facing me?" The young man reported a very ancient name in a very ancient tone.

It took Soback nearly five or six seconds to realize that this "Sougong" should refer to himself.

At this time, the young man who looked very polite and capable showed a very reassuring expression: "Is Mr. Suo really here? That's so lucky! We will soon find out the problem, and we will correct it." It’s up to Suo Gong to take charge of the overall situation!”

Immediately, the soldiers next to him also understood who "So Gong" was, and they all looked at Sobek who looked confused.

This, no matter what, at least shows that the other party has no malicious intent.

So, three minutes later, the young man who called himself "Long Yuan" came to him and brought some new exploration information.

"That is to say, there is a large lake in the direction you came from, and there is an obvious life reaction in it?" Soback asked curiously.

"Yes, according to the gravity detection, it is at least a big guy with a body length of more than 100 meters and a weight of more than 2,000 tons. This should be the first animal we found on the ring, right?" Long Yuan said.

Miss Viscount Serlu nodded and said: "If your information is true, then it is true."

So far, all known continents around the world are in a state of equilibrium that is most suitable for carbon-based biological production, whether in terms of humidity, oxygen content, or microbial populations.

However, so far, the scientific research departments of both sides have found hundreds of unseen microorganisms and plants, but no new animals have been found. This has to be said to be a pity.

"So, do you want to cooperate with us to capture this unknown creature?"

"The lake it lives in is only about 60 square kilometers. Logically speaking, it should not be able to support the ecological environment of such a large animal. It is difficult to say that this thing does not have some psychic abilities. Our exploration team this time only has one company. There are too many risks in taking action rashly." Lieutenant Colonel Long Yuan said.

"You can definitely wait for the reinforcements to arrive." Miss Viscount Serlu always had a suspicious look on her face.

"Yes, that's what we do. But aren't you just reinforcements?" Lieutenant Colonel Long Yuan said in a matter-of-fact tone: "Aren't we allied forces? Could it be that the allied forces are not reinforcements?"

Looking at the other party's innocent and innocent yellow jade eyes, Miss Serlu was immediately speechless.
