Chapter 111: Going to Space

Seeing the friendly machine being destroyed, Red Wolf's first reaction was to deploy his heavy particle cannon and fire at Amber's position.

But when he saw Amber's position and the space elevator base behind him, Red Wolf gave up the idea.

The combat mission was to take down the space elevator base area, not to destroy it.

Gauss rifles and charged particle cannons or high-energy laser beams were fine, as the structural strength of the space elevator base area could still resist.

But shooting with heavy particle cannons was more or less challenging.

Thinking of the damage caused by the destruction of the entire space elevator if the base was damaged, Red Wolf felt that weapons like heavy particle cannons should be used with caution.

"Everyone, be careful of the radiation when using the heavy particle cannon, and never affect the structure of the space elevator base area!"

Looking at Amber who was approaching him again along the edge of the platform, Red Wolf added:

"The other pilot is very strong, everyone move towards my position immediately!"

As soon as the voice fell, Red Wolf saw the Steppenwolf running wildly at a high altitude leap up, holding up the heavy sword and making a thirty-meter jump towards his position.

"Boom!"

In the smoke and dust stirred up by the Steppenwolf's landing, Red Wolf narrowly avoided the attack and avoided being split in half with the machine.

But before he could catch his breath, the Steppenwolf in the smoke and dust swung his sword again and pounced on him.

"Fuck! Why do federal pilots like to draw their swords in close combat so much?"

Red Wolf, who had no time to distance himself, had to get into close combat with Amber.

After a few moves with the swords, Red Wolf felt the pressure was full, and he might be feverish.

As Amber had guessed before, although Red Wolf, the ACE, was not at the level of the ‘2000th Man’, he was not much different.

As a member of the Blood Dragon Corps under Viscount Ankarin, Red Wolf’s basic skills were not bad, but rather solid.

At the same time, he also participated in many actual combats with the Blood Dragon Corps, and the title of ACE was also obtained on the battlefield, not the kind of Void Ace who stayed in the training ground all day.

But the problem actually lies here.

In the actual combats that Red Wolf participated in before, he rarely encountered enemy HCPs, let alone dancing ‘cheek-to-cheek’ with them at close range.

In addition, Red Wolf had a lot of experience in long-range firepower support, and his combat style was more inclined to long-range shooting, so all the results of this ACE were achieved by heavy particle cannons and charged particle cannons.

This also led to his combat level not meeting the ACE standard.

In a trance, Red Wolf, who blocked Amber’s sword, was bypassed by Amber to the side of the machine.

Red Wolf came to his senses and held his shield in front of him in shock.

Then Amber kicked him sideways, causing the aircraft to lose balance and fall to the ground.

Although the icon representing the left leg of the aircraft on the screen in Amber's cockpit immediately turned yellow, indicating "fault".

But the Red Wolf who was kicked away felt even worse.

The propulsion array on the back sprayed a little before falling to the ground to buffer, but the nearly 100-ton aircraft still fell firmly to the ground.

Not to mention the steel demon with dark red marks on the external armor on the panoramic display, who made a sword flower and pounced on him again.

At this critical moment, the Steppe Wolf suddenly made a stiff turn, and then two charged particle beams and several high-speed piercing rods hit its deflection field.

"Sir Red Wolf, we are here to support you!"

In the distance, two HCPs rushed towards this side one after another, and they were the members who participated in the encirclement and suppression of Amber.

From hell to heaven often takes only a moment. Red Wolf, who just thought he might die here, suddenly came back to life.

He immediately called two friendly forces to prepare for a "justice group fight" against Amber.

But several messages suddenly came from the communication channel, forcing him to give up this idea.

After a part of the HCP was drawn out to besiege Amber, the pressure on the front line of the imperial army increased a lot.

At the same time, there was an electronic warfare virus of unknown origin that spread in various terminals of the imperial army.

Although after the electronic warfare technicians discovered this situation, the entire army immediately took emergency measures to suppress the spread of the electronic virus.

But its impact on the front-line troops cannot be ignored, especially many infantry units have experienced interference with the exoskeleton fire control unit or communication interruption.

This also allowed the federal forces to seize the opportunity, with the support of a small number of long-range rocket launchers and self-propelled artillery, with the help of a round of wide-area electronic interference, to launch a wave of full-line attacks, pushing the front line a lot in the direction of the imperial army.

So at this time, the commander of the ground forces of the empire could not take care of the task of encircling Amber.

If the HCP is not transferred back, the entire battle line may be in big trouble.

At the same time, Amber also received the message from Isabel and the others that the core control room in the base area had been captured by the assault team.

After receiving this message, Amber no longer wanted to fight with the HCP pretending to be ACE in front of her.

A wonderful tacit understanding suddenly emerged between the two sides.

Under the fire suppression of the two HCPs of the other side, Amber "fought hard but failed, and retreated while fighting", and after Red Wolf resumed his HCP posture, he also symbolically fired a few shots with the Gauss rifle.

Amber and Red Wolf threw several anti-infrared smoke bombs almost at the same time, and then broke contact in the smoke that quickly covered the battlefield.

"The assault team called HQ and has completed the breakthrough of the core control area!"

Taking advantage of this time, Amber also contacted the brigade.

After hearing the news, Lieutenant Colonel Dallas immediately arranged several small teams carrying heavy weapons to go to the core area. They will defend this area while the assault team carries out subsequent tasks.

By the time Amber drove the HCP to the core control area, Major Randall had completed the authentication of all permissions, and the only thing left was to unlock the space elevator again with the key.

"I think except for the wounded who can't carry out the next stage of the mission, and Major Randall and I, everyone else will take the transfer elevator to the launch area and defend on the spot!"

Including the two rookie HCPs, all those who can continue to fight in the assault team boarded the large transfer elevator leading to the launch area.

Before the battle today, Amber had conducted a "pre-war mobilization" with them and informed them of the specific combat plan.

Including the final battle to the Lansford military port.

So for the next battle, they had mixed emotions, both anticipation and fear.

At the same time, they were a little excited that Warrant Officer Amber was going to take them into space and into the space station.
