Chapter 1420: Black Sheep

Earth.

Spring is the season for all things to grow. The sun shining from behind the thin clouds is bright but not dazzling, warm and warm. The golden light is continuous like brocade, sprinkled among the rolling hills below, injecting vitality and vitality into the earth. After tens of millions of years of precipitation and a series of geological changes, it finally became a place with undulating mountains, covered with a new layer of green due to the arrival of spring. From a distance, it seems to be covered with emerald green carpets.

On this green carpet, there are flowers and plants of various colors such as light yellow, light purple, pink, and cherry. Among the flowers and plants, insects and birds are singing, full of vitality.

A unicorn flew up the jagged leaves of a fern cluster, and a troop of ants passed by, and suddenly a praying mantis appeared in front of it. The praying mantis is not interested in the unicorn. Its goal is two fat green worms in the distance. Just as it was about to pounce on the two fat worms, the sky suddenly darkened, and a huge shadow shrouded it. The praying mantis raised its head, and a gigantic figure was reflected in those small eyes.

It was a starship, the fish-like hull was undulating up and down, and on the wings with fins on both sides, each probe was shining with bursts of fluorescent light, and it slid across the sky gracefully. A section of the gun barrel spewed out from the front of the hull, and rays of light lit up in the muzzle. The buzzing sound of energy transmission resounded in the sky, and then a ball of brilliance was spit out from the muzzle. The ball of light fell on a mountain peak in the distance as if nothing had happened, and the light immediately lit up when it collided, and the energy storm released from it multiplied geometrically. Intense brilliance flooded this mountain area like a tide, and then a terrifying shock wave came.

Rocks, trees, flowers and even insects were all set off by the shock wave, and then thrown towards the outer circle of the explosion.

The praying mantis, which was supposed to catch caterpillars, was thrown into the air, and then it was blasted in mid-air by the shock wave. As for the unicorn, it unexpectedly survived and fell to the ground following the falling gravel. After a while, the Unicorn Immortal crawled out from the chaotic rocks. When it looked ahead, the originally continuous mountains had disappeared. The mountainous area is like a huge and ugly hole dug out by an invisible giant shovel, a mushroom cloud is rising from that hole, and after releasing energy and flames, it becomes a thick black cloud pillar.

In that gigantic crater measuring square kilometers, the fish-like starship in the sky was sliding over, and then slowly landed in the center of the crater, which was almost the same as flat ground. After falling, the components that fixed the hull protruded from the stern and sides of the starship, and they firmly grasped the ground, thus fixing the starship down. After landing completely, the fins on both sides of the starship retracted into the hull, and the other armor on the hull began to unfold, spreading out around the starship. When the outer armor on the top of the starship is fully opened, it can be seen that the interior of the starship's hull is also deforming simultaneously.

A moment later, a ground base appeared in the mountains. At this time, multiple gates of the base were raised, and many combat ships, collection vehicles, transport vehicles, and teams of fully armed Nirm soldiers emerged from the inside. The battleships and soldiers began to establish air and ground defenses around the blast pit, and the collection vehicles went according to the predetermined coordinates. They will dig and collect the rich deposits in this mountainous area, and then send them to the base by transport vehicles. Become the energy used for the operation of this base.

Soon there was a busy scene in the giant pit. In addition to the passing vehicles and soldiers, another group of engineering vehicles drove out of the base and began to build turrets, bunkers, energy storage wells and factories around the giant pit. thing. At this time, Nirm soldiers began to leave the base, and after their formation dispersed, they began to hunt and kill the surrounding life. All these pictures were seen by the unicorn. It was quietly lying on a stone, and several groups of soldiers had already passed by it, but who would care about a harmless insect?

In the tactical hall of a certain federal ground base, a light screen is reflecting what the unicorn fairy saw. In the picture, the ground base of the Nirm has already taken shape. In front of the light screen, a colonel stood up straight with his hands behind his back and said, "This is the picture transmitted by our bio-robot five minutes ago.

It is not difficult to see from the screen that the Nilm people have already started to build the forward base. According to our war manual for colonial planets, the Nirm invasion has undoubtedly reached the second stage. Build forward bases, collect planetary resources and use them in turn to deal with the natives of the planet, that is, us. "

"Colonel Roman, according to your observations, how long will it take for the enemy base to be built?" Mobit's voice sounded in the tactical hall. The Federation President looked a lot thinner, but his eyes were still as sharp as an eagle.

The colonel nodded: "Judging from their progress, a forward base with self-protection capability and long-term operation can be basically formed in no more than 48 hours. Everyone, I think these buildings should be factory facilities, whether it is an arsenal or an arsenal. Ordnance factories. Once they are completed and operational, it means that the Nirms will be supplied, which is not good news for us."

"A base that can run for a long time and can supplement the consumption of the front line is a huge threat to us." Mobit stood up and said to the people behind him: "Gentlemen, we must act. Now Idahua star The fleet is trying to help us solve the threat of outer space, so the crisis on the ground needs to be solved by ourselves. We must take action within 48 hours. This time, I hope the Golden Lion can continue to support it as always.”

At the end of the speech, Morbit landed on a person.

Capro.

The wild lion looked silent, and Capulo was biting his cigar, the flickering flame of the cigarette butt was like the ups and downs of everyone's mood at the moment. After a while, Capulo said in a hoarse voice: "The Star Destroyer that attacked the Nirms fell to the ground last time. My people suffered heavy losses and have not recovered yet. This time, I can only give you a thousand people." .”

There was an uproar in the tactical hall, and everyone knew that for such an action, a thousand people would be perfunctory. Moreover, according to Capulo's tone, he will not dispatch a general-level force, and probably only three or two colonels will be dispatched. Some people complained: "The last time we acted, could it be that only you, the Golden Lion, suffered losses, and how few of us Sirius died?"

There are not many people in the entire Federation who dare to contradict Capulo like this, and Windsor Bello is definitely one of them. The female marshal bombarded the space base of the Nilm people in the last operation, and Windsor Bellow attracted much attention after that war. Coupled with Capulo's withdrawal from the Federation, the popularity of Marshal Tanlang in the Federation Army is now the same. Capulo said indifferently: "Marshal Greedy Wolf, do you want me to remind you? The Golden Lion no longer belongs to the federal army. I asked myself that I had fulfilled my duty as an ally in the last operation. As for the next operation, how many troops will be invested, I will decide on my own. There are calculations. But in summary, how much power the golden lion should contribute is no longer your federation's final say."

Windsor Bello raised her eyebrows, wanting to say something. Mobit raised her hand and shook her head before she sat down. Mobit said in a deep voice: "Mr. Capulo is right, but now that the enemy is facing us, we should cooperate sincerely."

Kaprow met the president's gaze and smiled: "Okay, then I will invest another two thousand people and a general to participate. This is my bottom line. I'm sorry, I still have something to do, so I will leave first. Within hours, my people will arrive on time, so please rest assured."

Then get up and leave.

After the door of the tactical hall was closed, Windsor Bello said coldly: "He cherishes his wings so much and refuses to make any effort. He must have a plan. Maybe after expelling the Nirms, allies will become enemies."

Mobit sighed softly: "That was after the expulsion of the Nilm people. As for now, in the face of common interests, even if Kaprow is unwilling to do his best, he will not hold us back. It's just that this number is not enough , we have several fronts fighting at the same time, it is difficult to tell the manpower."

"Then let us make up for the remaining amount." Horn, who had been silent all this time, stood up and said with a smile, "Our family can provide two thousand soldiers. If necessary, I can go there myself."

After the first battle on the Nilm Star Destroyer, Horn's evaluation in the Federation was extremely high, and even Bethkind's reputation also rose, and there was a hidden tendency to catch up with the three giants. With Beth Keld's participation, especially if Horn himself is involved, the operation will be sure. Mobit happily said: "Then trouble Mr. Horn."

"No trouble, I also want to walk around outside. People are a little dull after staying too long."

Mobit nodded again, walked to the light screen in the tactical hall, glanced at the base in the light screen, and said solemnly: "Then the code name of this operation should be called Black Sheep!"

After the meeting, Horn returned to the camp assigned to Bethkind by the Federation. Roddy had just completed physical training with the soldiers, and when he heard that Horn was back, he changed his clothes and went to see him. When he saw Horn in the room, he immediately said, "Father, when will you take back the position of patriarch?"

Horn glared at him and said, "What do you think a patriarch is, you can give it if you say it, and you can pay it back if you say it?"

"But I'm really uncomfortable sitting, I'd rather you sit back in this position, I still like to go to the battlefield to fight." Roddy laughed dryly.

Horn shook his head and said: "Whether you want to believe it or not, my time has passed. You are also a member of Bethkind, so you should shoulder your due responsibilities. You are you, I am me, You don’t have to learn from me. You just have to do it with your heart, like you are training with soldiers, which is something I have never done before, which is very good and can make soldiers more loyal to you and the family.”

He paused, and then said: "Speaking of soldiers, I just promised Mobit that I will take out our family's army to participate in an operation."

"What action?"

...
