Chapter 245, Peace of Mind Comes From the Son

What is security for?

Prevent assassination, prevent turmoil, protect the master... They may have better training and equipment than the army, and they are more professional in certain tasks of protecting important officials. However, when the scene turns into a large-scale war, different levels of specialization, different training methods, and different weapons and equipment become a weakness.

Security forces lack heavy firepower and lack anti-armor forces. Facing the artillery, it was difficult to counter it; facing the so-called Kingdom Knights, those sentinel mechs paired with the impact of two ranger-level knight titans, it fell into a comprehensive disadvantage.

Their number is far less than that of the opposite side. Under the impact of the opponent's huge cannon fodder and miscellaneous soldiers, they had to bear the bombardment of the artillery to resist, and they also had to suffer the key assaults led by the knight Tai Tan and many sentinel mechas. The defense line of Gu's security was constantly compressed and broken through.

The situation quickly became dire.

At this time, Wang Qi made another decision that she regretted afterwards, which might have been a mistake: stick to the spot.

She hoped to be rescued by the Fury Star Legion in the small town outside the city; in addition, they also contacted the Chamber of Commerce fleet in the sky to provide orbital support and send a landing spacecraft to pick up people from the air.

But soon, bad news from all parties came one after another.

The Angry Owl Star army in the suburban town was also raided and is currently fighting fiercely;

There is a rebellion on the Chamber fleet in space around the planet. Among the eight merchant fleets controlled by Wang Qi, there was turmoil in each fleet of moderate size. The four fleets that are directly under her control are okay, but the other four fleets that are allies are more problematic.

In addition, the four armed merchant fleets controlled by Gu Ming are also threatening nearby, making it impossible for them to occupy the orbit of the planet.

What's more worth mentioning is that Black Arrow Star is not a place without air defense capabilities. It may be a problem to go elsewhere, but in the city of Pinthel where the war broke out, there is an orbital air defense system imported by the Kingdom of Luman at a large price.

Unable to occupy the orbit and carry out accurate orbital strikes; the few spaceships dispatched forcibly, even if they pass through the interference and robbery of Gu Ming's ships, will be locked by the orbital air defense system of Pinthel City during the process of entering the atmosphere Live, and then the volley was wiped out.

The reinforcements couldn't arrive, the air evacuation couldn't be realized, the knights of the Luman Kingdom were marching forward even more, and the defense line was smashed to pieces... At this time, Wang Qi realized that it was impossible to stick to it, and she had to break through.

However, it was too late to prepare to break through at this time.

Even, when the decision was made to break through, three sentinel mechas, as the vanguard, blasted open the gate and rushed into the banquet hall!

Everything became extremely chaotic.

The three sentinel mechas were finally killed, and Wang Qi didn't know exactly how it ended. She just remembered that when she was protected by her bodyguards and ran away, she turned her head and saw three wreckages.

But the process of breaking out was still not smooth sailing. They were intercepted and attacked many times, and her bodyguards died one by one. When she was almost at the end of the road, when she had to use the last resort to save her life, Lacroxa, who broke out of the siege, arrived with dozens of special forces soldiers.

The 10th Special Operations Brigade deployed about 500 people to join the expeditionary force. The main force among them, together with the legion, is in the small town on the outskirts of Pinthel City. Only fifty of the most elite among them, led by Lacroxia, formed a team and entered Wang Qi's close security team.

But throughout, their roles don't matter. Most of them still exist as a communication channel between the security forces and the main force of the Fury Star in the outskirts. The fundamental reason is that they are 'outsiders', and they are not in the same way as the security team. On the one hand, they are not subordinate to each other, which means they are squeezed out; , They are soldiers, and protecting important officials is not their specialty.

But now, it's war.

This is within their area of ​​expertise.

Lacroxia led people to eliminate the enemy army entangled Wang Qi, and then continued to protect her, heading out of the city.

During this process, the number of enemies has never been small.

They sacrificed one comrade after another, and had to spend time and time again by dividing their troops to attract the attention of the enemy.

Until now, Lacroxia has brought her to the edge of the city. They rested in a deserted alley, arguing a few words by the way, Wang Qi herself was not safe yet, but she was still thinking about how to save those Chamber of Commerce fleet lords who didn't know if they were alive or dead.

As a result, not only did Lacroxia completely reject her request, but they also ran into trouble again.

Appearing outside the alley was a 'kingdom knight', a sentinel mech.

Wang Qi is ready to assist at any time.

From her point of view, this young man named Lacroxa was outstanding in skill, but now he was alone, how could he deal with a steel machine?

Not to mention, there are seven fully armed soldiers beside this sentry mecha.

They also encountered sentinel mechas on the way to break out and escape. But when encountering this kind of situation, they usually avoid it if they can; if they can't avoid it, then they usually divide their troops and let another team attract the target away, and then evacuate.

They have always been very careful not to try head-to-head with the Sentinel.

But now, it was inevitable.

Wang Qi also prepared the last means of life-saving, and used the psionic flintlock in her hand, which had only four chances to use, to help Lacroxia fight.

However, this young soldier from Nu Xiaoxing who had just claimed to himself that he only wanted to protect her life and would not obey her orders used a series of performances to make her dumbfounded.

Even in an alley, his figure showed extreme agility.

A Sentinel mech shoots rapidly at a narrow alleyway with its double-barreled cannon. What a desperate scene is this?

But Lacroxia just avoided it all.

He can be said to be flying over the wall, stepping on the wall and running to a height of more than two meters.

The kingdom knight chased after him and shot, and the bullets followed his heels, but none of them hit. And even if the knight of the kingdom changed his method and planned to make predictions and use a high rate of fire to block all possible routes of action of Lacroxia, he would avoid him in another unimaginable way.

Of course, what Lacroxia did was not to dodge the bullets, but in essence to predict the dodge before the machine gun hits.

Moreover, no matter how exaggerated his physical fitness and reaction speed are, it is impossible for him to hide like this forever. But just two or three seconds, that's enough.

During this process, the bolter in Lacroxia's hand also fired a string of bullets, accurately killing all the accompanying soldiers around the Sentry Mech, and at the same time hitting the bullets on the Sentinel Mech's body. Watch on the sight.

It was only a dozen rounds of explosive shells fired in total, but he did it all with extremely precise shooting skills while the snake skin was moving.

Even killing the seven accompanying soldiers didn't require seven bullets. Using the micro-explosive properties of the explosive bombs, four bullets were enough; the remaining ten bullets were all hit on the observation sights of the sentinel mecha. .

The sight structure of the Sentinel mecha is still strong enough, but it can't withstand ten precise bursts.

On its head, where it resembled a human eye, it was blown to pieces.

On its head, where it resembled a human eye, it was blown to pieces.

Immediately, the attack of the sentinel mech became chaotic—the kingdom knights inside could no longer see what was going on outside.

Now, the operator inside pulled the lever and fell into a very embarrassing situation.

He can lift the visor of the Sentinel. Although a considerable part of the auxiliary system functions and observation functions are integrated in it, since it has been accurately detonated by someone, it must be abandoned. Later, he can also fight with his naked eyes.

But...he didn't dare.

In the battle just now, he has personally experienced the enemy he is facing now, and has almost completely accurate shooting skills. He had never seen anything like this in his life, and it was not just as simple as a sharpshooter.

He was afraid that as soon as the helmet was lifted, he would be shot in the head.

That would end up in the same fate as the person beside him who lay down in two seconds just now.

Soon, however, he no longer had to think about it.

A moment later, an extremely hot feeling passed through his chest.

In the extremely narrow cockpit of the sentinel, the kingdom knight couldn't even lower his head to look at his injuries. But he could feel that his heart and left lung had been completely burned through.

…

Watching the Sentinel Mecha fall, Lacroxia confirmed that it had completely lost its ability to fight.

He put the fully charged plasma pistol back into the pouch on his leg, turned around and found Wang Qi again.

The shock on Wang Qi's face has not dissipated: "You...do all the soldiers under your governor have your strength?"

"Uh..." Lacroxia really thought about it for a while, and then said very rigorously: "Not really."

"I was thinking too much. How could there really be so many fighters like you? However, since you have the ability to destroy a sentry mecha, why didn't you use it before?"

"Because of the risk." Lacroxia said, "As long as I made a mistake just now, I would be the one who died. I don't care so much about life and death, but if I die, the task of protecting you will not be completed. So, if you don't I don’t want to take any risks in such a forced situation just now.”

"It turned out to be like this... It's a pity for those soldiers who divide their troops to attract the attention of the enemy."

"It's nothing to regret, this is their mission." Lacroxia said, and then he thought for a while, and added, "And you don't want to look like they have already sacrificed, they are all the most elite fighters , It’s not that easy to die. Along the way, I have left them our special mark, and if they see it, they will follow along.”

"hope so."

Saying so, Wang Qi actually didn't have much hope.

Lacroxia didn't say much, just urged to get on the road quickly.

Fighting just broke out here, and it's no longer safe.

After dozens of minutes, a scene that surprised Wang Qi happened.

Not only did Lacroxia lead him almost out of the city of Pincell, but as he said, his comrades really came here just looking for something.

There were fifty people in total, and when they returned to the team, there were still forty-two. Although they looked a bit embarrassed, they were able to carry out the task of attracting the enemy's attention, and they were able to get rid of it. After going all the way here, they only lost eight of them, and according to the information exchange between them, they were here. At least two hundred enemy soldiers were killed along the way.

This is quite an exaggerated performance, Wang Qi is already a little numb.

She originally thought that a fighter like Lacroxia was already unique. But he didn't expect that although these comrades of his were not that powerful, they were all so strong.

——Can it be strong? The ones that Lacroxia picked out to bring to her were all the most elite soldiers from the Tenth Brigade. And this means that these soldiers are all T2-level fighters trained by Gu Hang in the soldier card system, and they were eliminated in the final stage of the process of screening new blood of interstellar fighters. Each of them spent eleven points of Gu Hang's gift. And not everyone has the potential to be trained to this level.

In contrast, the high-priced employment around Wang Qi and the emphasis on cultivating loyal security forces are not very good. None of them betrayed, but almost all of them were wiped out.

Now that this is the case, Wang Qi has no other ideas, just follow Lacroxia and others honestly, and continue to break out.

Halfway through, they also contacted the headquarters of the Alliance Expeditionary Force again, and learned that there was a surprise response force on the way.

It took some more time, and they finally caught up with the force.

It was a team of the 38th Mechanical Brigade.

All 18 lion tanks in the brigade were pulled out, and more than 100 infantry fighting vehicles, and more than 2,000 mechanized or motorized infantrymen came all the way.

After the two sides met, Wang Qi was under the protection of the army, and finally put the hanging heart back into her stomach.

But then, she had a rather strange feeling: looking around, everyone was completely strange.

She doesn't know the people around her.

None of these people are her subordinates. Her needs will be met as much as possible, but in reality, no one will follow her orders directly.

These are all the wealth accumulated by her useless son who hated iron and steel in the past, but now, she depends on these people if she wants to survive on this alien land.

However, apart from the feeling of 'uncomfortable', she also felt an inexplicable sense of relief.

This peace of mind comes from a super soldier king like Lacroxia; from the outstanding individual strength of the special team; from the steel monsters such as lion tanks and infantry combat vehicles...

from her son.
