Chapter 824: Military Arrangements
"I have a question." In the pause of Lyon, Alicia raised her hand and said loudly, "Uncle, from the photo, this building is completely exposed. Even if the army cannot approach easily, can't you find a way to use long-range missiles or rockets to destroy it? Even if this method doesn't work, there are high-altitude bombers? Why do you specially recruit superpowers from all over the world to perform this mission?"
"Although it is exposed, it also has the protection of a turtle shell." Lyon's face was a little painful and reached out to grab his scalp. "You should know that the enemy's warship has a strange protective cover, which was reported specifically in the news. Now, the haunted protective cover appears on this huge building. Some time ago, the coalition forces tried to destroy it with bombers that were difficult to intercept by the opponent as you said, but the guided bombs that were thrown down and the long-range missiles that were fired at the same time were blocked by those who could not kill Xiaoqiang with their bodies, and the remaining ones failed to penetrate the protective cover."
[So that's it. The demons also attach enough importance to the human air force. After successfully threatening the unknown building, did they launch a surprise attack on the airport and intend to destroy the fighter plane first...]
However, the others at the scene were not concerned about this, because they heard that large-scale bombing and missile attacks failed to penetrate the enemy's protective cover, and a buzzing voice immediately sounded in the hall.
"Cough!" Lyon clenched his fist and coughed to calm everyone down, and then said seriously with a stern face, "I know what you are wondering about - your ability is not as good as the size of the army, and it is very likely that your protective cover will not be able to penetrate the protective cover, so how can you destroy that building? Let me tell you the truth. The military does not expect you to destroy the building. Instead, it plans to send soldiers to cooperate with you to break through the enemy's defense. When the front line advances to a sufficient distance, then use artillery and other weapons to strike the building. In other words, letting you destroy the enemy's important buildings is just a high-sounding reason. Your real mission is to lead the army to penetrate the enemy's positions."
"I knew this from the beginning that the military would not place hope on a group of civilians - even these civilians could all be a hundred." A middle-aged man with glasses and beautiful eyes continued lightly, "But have you ever considered this possible trap set by the enemy on purpose? After our army penetrated into the enemy's formation, the other party jumped out of various hidden corners to launch a sudden attack, and took advantage of our chaos to launch a counterattack, which is not a fantasy."
Lyon couldn't help but smile bitterly, shrugging helplessly, "Sorry, the military cannot rule out the possibility you mentioned. These muscular men who rarely rely on mechanical weapons use ancient human sea tactics, and most of their soldiers are irrelevant cannon fodder, which seriously affects our reconnaissance efficiency. Unlike the war between humans, we are not unable to find the enemy on the battlefield, but... the other party is blatantly moving under their noses. The coalition forces cannot accurately judge their specific combat power. However, it is absolutely not wrong for the enemy to concentrate the large army on City A. There is enough reason to try to defeat and annihilate them to reduce the opponent's vitality."
"In short, we are actually trying the depth of the test, right?" Alicia stretched out her finger and wrapped her head around her dazed hair and said, "What a dangerous task, I ask for a double reward!"
"Will your family still lack money to spend, you are a rude loli who is unwilling to suffer any loss when you fall into money!" Uncle Lyon immediately said angrily and amusedly, "Although it is indeed as you said that the military is planning to let you take the lead in trying the depth, but it does not mean to treat you as a chess piece. Everyone present is the top human beings, the only last hope to confront those muscular men with bat wings. Even if the top politicians and officers are all fat-headed guys, they will not be brave enough to give them a hundred courage.
I dare to lose you casually. I have said before that your mission is to lead the army to break through the enemy's defensive positions - in fact, when the battle situation suddenly takes a sharp turn, the soldiers who follow you will give priority to escorting you out. Does anyone have any questions? No? Well, it will take a few days for the army to assemble. After the preparation is completed, I will be responsible for notifying you. Before that, whether you plan to chat and make friends or go to the front line to catch up with those strange monsters, please do whatever you want."
——————————————————————————————————————————————————————
"Alishiya, I don't understand very well." Mikoto, who was following the blonde girl, asked in confusion. "You should be quite familiar with the cannon fodder of the demons. Why do you still have to go to the front line?"
Yes, after the meeting, Alicia decisively took her friends out of the hall and rushed to the front line, making Lyon, who originally thought she would take advantage of the opportunity that others would not know her, and felt embarrassed and terrified on the spot.
"Oh, there is nothing I can do about it." The little queen spread her hands and sighed deeply, her expression on her face was full of melancholy and helplessness. "A girl as beautiful as me, if she stays in the hall, she will definitely be called out by countless people. You know that I am the most afraid of trouble, and Ilia is here, so it's better to leave as soon as possible."
"Although the proud boastful lines made me feel very unhappy, let's forget it." Sister Pao shook her hand casually and said indifferently, and then stared at the beautiful girl in front of her seriously. "So, what are your real words?"
"Oh hehe, actually, I really wanted to experience the pleasure of shooting the enemy with an assault rifle for myself!"
"Get back and play your cod honestly! In reality, the only guns suitable for cute girls are pistols and sniper rifles. Girls who hold assault rifles and heavy machine guns and do not see any incongruity at all are those flying pants!"
"Gu! You're going to die..."
Looking at the scene of Mikoto gritting her teeth and struggling hard from behind, Ilya, who was standing nearby, didn't know whether she should go up to save her beloved girl or continue to act as a wooden man next to her. Fortunately, Mikoto finally let go of her in time before Alya was spitting out a white soul, and the boy's heart was falling back.
After marriage, Photon shook the fan in his hand gracefully and said, "Well, senior Misaka, it's not bad to get to know the enemy first. Although we have a strong ability, we don't cooperate with each other. It's good to take this opportunity to practice."
[This guy's technique of playing with folding fans seems to have obtained Sophia's true teachings.]
After a little emotion, Alicia calmed down her breath and stood up and said, "All in all, I have to confirm some things with my own eyes. The army cannot judge the combat power of the demon troops, but we have known the latter for a long time. Should the cannon fodder on the front line be prepared to defend on the spot and block the army's pace of progress, or be prepared to pretend to collapse at any time under the command of the demon, and you will know after careful observation."
"Are you also worried that this is a devil's trap?" Shirai couldn't help but ask in surprise when he heard this, "This group of devils had been hit by the Dragon Clan and nuclear bombs before, and they were obviously in a state of insufficient troops. Do they still have the ability to set up such a big trap?"
"Who knows." Alicia rubbed her forehead with a headache and said, "It is precisely because of insufficient troops and continue to drag on it, it will sooner or later be eliminated by the human army with home advantage. The demons are more likely to take extreme actions, right? And don't forget that the original purpose of this team of demons was to secretly land in the north of the Western Continent. If they did not have a backhand, I wouldn't believe it."
While speaking, the little queen and her group had left the village and came to the fields outside. The human army built a solid defensive position here, with various bunkers, trenches and firepower points everywhere, and even many anti-tank guns and various types of combat vehicles - a standard ancient-style layout, just like the position of Blue Star during World War II.
If you fight modern wars with this position, you will definitely seek death, but it is used to deal with the sea of cannon fodder used to deal with the demon clan. There have been thousands of low-level monsters, transformed monsters and creatures infected by the undead magic, falling in front of this line of defense, turning this field into a real meat grinder.
Alicia and others, who were dressed and looked obviously out of place with the surroundings, were quickly interrogated by patrol soldiers. However, after showing the temporary documents sent by Uncle Lyon to each superpowered person, the soldiers decisively saluted everyone and let them go.
"If Satoshi was here, he would definitely be so excited that he would scream." Mikoto murmured as she looked around the steel weapons, "By the way, what else can we do if the other party doesn't attack? We can't just attack the other party actively..."
When Sister Pao said this, she got stuck in an instant, and the cold sweat on her forehead suddenly burst out.
Shirai, who had always been thinking quickly, also thought of something, and then he fell into a deep terrifying state. He pointed at Alicea in shock and said in a trembling voice: "It's hard, is it possible..."
"I didn't say anything yet. Why do you look like you're seeing ghosts in broad daylight?" Alicia tilted her head and made countless colorful bubbles around her body, smiling and acting cute.
"No, no, no, just looking at your expression is enough to explain the problem!" Mikoto almost rushed down the blonde girl's shoulder.
"Meow? What does it mean?" Alicia tilted her head and continued to act cute. However, this time the tilted direction was changed to the other side.
"You don't really plan to just play firepower reconnaissance, are you?" Sister Pao shook the girl's slender body fiercely and wanted to shake her apart directly. "There must be a limit to do things randomly, hey!"
"Don't, don't shake Sister Mikoto, I'm going to be dizzy." Alicia, who had mosquito-coiled eyes, raised her hand weakly and begged, "Okay, okay, I admit that she does have similar plans, but if everyone objected, then forget it. Firepower reconnaissance is not something that must be done now, and it's not too late to do it on the day of the official attack. Besides, Puro Ye, who is responsible for reconnaissance, should notice the abnormality in City A, and she will probably bring us some more practical information."
Mikoto immediately breathed a sigh of relief, stretched out her index finger and gently flicked the little queen's forehead: "I know you want to seize the time to clean up the demons here and go back quickly. But you can't take the risk yourself. Leave the demons to the military to deal with them, it doesn't matter if you relax a little."
"Well, that's right. Haste is not enough." Alicia said as she relaxed her body. "Then let me find a trench to get in and ask the soldiers inside to borrow a rifle to play with it!"
"I said it, I'll go back to play the game!"
Finally, even with the obstruction of Sister Cannon, Alicia still tricked her dream of assault rifle from a team of soldiers with her peerless beauty and skillful cuteness, and started to play with it in a good manner in the distance. Of course, because of the girl's unconscious height, she was held in her arms by Ilia and raised her gun to the top of the trench.
The black-haired boy was once again gaze from the gritted teeth of the characters around him, but he decisively ignored it.
"Oh, heavier than I thought." After returning the rifle to its original owner, Elya, who was put back on the ground by Ilia, said with satisfaction while slapped off the dust on his clothes, "I really want to shoot two shots. It would be great if the group of crawlers on the opposite side took the initiative to attack."
"You save money." Mikoto knocked the girl on the head, "It's the quietness before the storm. It's just that the gun can fire and trigger a fierce confrontation, which is something that neither side wants to see."
Aliceya knew this in her heart, so she didn't say anything else. She waved goodbye to the soldiers in the trench with a little regret, preparing to return to the command center - it should have been that way. But on the way back, the blonde girl unexpectedly saw an acquaintance.
Of course, it’s not Uncle Lyon. This guy is arranging accommodation for superpowers in the command center.
When he was attacked by the Sageron Zerg led by Hannah in the city where everyone lived, he led a company of troops to "rescue" Locklepus and his two precious sisters, unfortunately met Alice again.
Looking at the beautiful blonde girl who waved to him, the lieutenant who leaned out of the hatch cover of the tank felt a pain for no reason.
"Miss Harris, we're meeting again." Ignoring this little beauty who will attract a lot of attention no matter where she stands, will definitely be questioned by her subordinates. The lieutenant had to stop his team and nodded politely to her, "You and your superpower friends have also come here, which is great. I have always remembered your performance in Akihabara."
Although the cute girl in front of her was as beautiful as a rare treasure, her personality was so dark that she couldn't help but burst into tears. If she could, the lieutenant wished she could stay away from Alicea immediately. As expected, the first sentence of this girl almost made the poor lieutenant spit out a mouthful of old blood on the spot and twenty meters away.
"Oh, hello uncle. Why did you still have a rank of lieutenant after a series of fierce battles? Is it because the interpersonal relationships above are not well managed?"
The lieutenant clearly heard the subordinates in the cockpit below "punch". He had sufficient reason to believe that this was definitely not the fart that these guys hurriedly hid behind a big rock when their teammates were destroyed by a monster when they landed on the moon, but they thought they had escaped, but they were sad to be discovered by the other party because of a certain physiological phenomenon.
The lieutenant, whose big blue veins bulged out from his forehead, took a deep breath and tidied up his mood and said, "You are joking. But if you can come forward to help me with your acquaintance, I will be very grateful."
"That kind of trouble is better off." Alicia waved her hand immediately, then tilted her head curiously, "Nah, look at the posture. Are you going to go on a mission?"
In addition to the lieutenant's tank, there were also several armored personnel carriers and reconnaissance vehicles, which were obviously sent by the command center to expand their horizons. They were out for reconnaissance.
"Ah, a routine reconnaissance mission will come back tomorrow at noon." Anyway, it was not an important military secret, so the lieutenant told the girl in front of him generously, "The large-scale battle is about to start, and we must try our best to figure out the situation of the enemy - what the people above said. But for us, this mission is just to appreciate the cute looks of the strange monsters up close and dislike them to save food. Are you interested in coming together?"
The lieutenant just wanted to tease the girl by the way, and was not really inviting her to join the team; however, to the lieutenant's surprise, Alicia actually nodded and promised: "Okay, anyway, there will be a few days to launch a large-scale attack. I'll go with you."
Mikoto was a little relieved with the army. She did not stop her anymore but chose to agree: "Okay, I'll go too."
"Wait, huh huh? Are you serious??" The lieutenant was stunned, "I'm just kidding, you don't have to take it too seriously."
"A real man, I want to confirm something with my own eyes." Alicia had already jumped and jumped up onto the tank while speaking. "It's too dangerous for us to be the only one, so everyone didn't agree before; but it doesn't matter if you are with you, and you can also get transportation and observation equipment for free, so why not do it?"
After a while of silence, the lieutenant nodded vigorously and said seriously: "I understand, then let's come together."
Chapter completed!
