Chapter 58 Extra Story. Chapter 35.6 Ambush
After two consecutive rounds of air burst bombs, the Crusaders ambush on the roof fell into temporary silence.Taking advantage of this gap, the Snake Eagle team quickly landed on the south side of the platform.

Under their feet, the entire south side of the platform looked like a plowed field, with metal fragments of pipes and cement fragments scattered everywhere, and buried inside were the bodies of several Crusaders who had also been blown to pieces.

Soon, gunfire rang out again on the platform.Another bullet was fired from the north side of the platform.

But this kind of firepower was like sporadic light rain compared to before, and the Snake Eagle team had already completed the reorganization at this time: the team members quickly took off their EXOS exoskeletons when they landed, and were controlled to transform into temporary bunkers.

The main purpose of the EXOS exoskeleton is to help move to the combat location faster and with less effort and increase the load capacity, but after all, it is impossible to perform various life-saving tactical actions while wearing it.However, even if EXOS is taken off, it can be combined and transformed into various useful forms.It can even move on its own and has another name - "Individual Armored Vehicle".

Sniper Snake Eagle [-] behind the bunker was assembling the anti-materiel rifle parts previously removed from the exoskeleton, and finally had time to complain: "The group's tactical plans are all rubbish, right?
"They said it nicely - 'According to predictions, the commander of the Crusaders will arrange for a small number of elites to guard the stairwell, and at the same time send the main force to the lower floors. First, quickly annihilate the SAT troops of the Metropolitan Police Department responsible for ground containment operations, and then turn back. To deal with you, it is a time lag tactic.'

"—But now I really want to go back and grab that kid, let him see with his own eyes whether the outpouring of firepower just now is called 'the elite few' and 'defense'. There is an entire standard action team of the Crusaders ambushing us! "

The team's dedicated encrypted communication channel soon received a response from Snake Eagle [-] in the opposite bunker: "So I would like to thank our operational commander, Your Excellency. If it weren't for this set of EXOS, if it weren't for those two fireworks, all of us would have landed. It will become a sieve."

"The commander of the other side also reacted very quickly. He should have given the order to cease fire and find bunkers as soon as he heard the sound of the flying shells?"

"If it was commanded by a warrior captain, it would be strange if it was not of this level."

"It's a pity that we didn't clean it up." Snake Eagle [-] also joined the discussion, "It would be better if we didn't deliberately reduce the amount of ammunition."

The south side of the platform was originally relatively empty, with only one main terrain - a layer of ground pipes divided into grids by half-person-high cement partitions.Therefore, the few militants originally deployed here could not find a bunker to block the air attack, and naturally they immediately became the corpses embedded in the rubble on the ground.

But to the north of the platform, there are taller cement buildings such as water tower stairwells.Therefore, the militants in the north had the opportunity to shrink behind these bunkers in time and save their lives from the two air blasts that reduced their power.

"...If we charge it normally, the top two floors of the theater should be gone. We won't be able to find a flat place to land."

"Then we don't need to land, because there is nothing left for us to suppress or rescue. The recovery personnel will just come directly tomorrow to sift the hostages out of this pile of rubble. If they work hard, they should be able to barely fit into one box."

"——And the day after tomorrow, the board of directors will ask the personnel department to put us into the box. Stop talking nonsense and get ready!" Captain Snake Eagle 1 snorted to end the topic, and then reported to Arthur, "Knight [-]. The team will be able to complete all preparations in [-] minute. Are our mission objectives and offensive lines still unchanged?"

Arthur is the only combat unit still wearing an exoskeleton. Although his night gray special exoskeleton is larger in appearance, it is more flexible and can make movements that are indistinguishable from humans.Therefore, he was squatting behind the bunker at this time, not much higher than the other team members.

Hearing Snake Eagle [-]'s question, Arthur first called the command headquarters: "Command Headquarters, our instance commander lady who is deep in the enemy camp - have our communications with her been restored now?

The command headquarters replied: "Still unable to contact."

"Are there any sources of interference that have not been destroyed?"

In fact, they were unable to confirm where the source of interference was in a short period of time.But there is always speculation - the Crusaders should have made use of existing high-power communication equipment and modified it.And since the communication was restored, it must have been destroyed in the air strike just now.

Arthur looked back at the original communication tower that had been melted into a twisted shape on the roof: "No, I think it must be for other reasons."

"So, what do we do?" Snake Eagle [-] asked again.

At this time, the Snake Eagle team had established a firm foothold and began to fight back to the north.Since the exoskeleton helped carry enough heavy individual equipment, their firepower clearly suppressed the opponent.

"Your mission has not changed. Break through the defense line of the Crusaders in front, enter the theater as soon as possible, and go to the coordinates agreed before." So Arthur thought for a while, and said, "The command of the team is handed over to Snake Eagle [-]. I will enter the guerrilla by myself. The position is good. So far we haven't found the warrior captain on the battlefield, right? No matter what he plans to do, I will deal with him."

"clear."

Another team member in the communication channel suddenly interjected: "Hey, the duel between the knight and the warrior captain... huh? How about we add the word 'long' to you? The knight captain sounds almost the same as the warrior captain. .”

"It's not the same." Arthur said loudly and seriously, "——The knight commander is much more handsome than the warrior commander!"

The channel burst into laughter.

"Shut up, all of you..." Captain Snake Eagle [-] had a headache hearing the voice.

But the next work was not delayed. The EXOS array switched from bunker mode to quadruped mode, and was deployed at the front of the team as a mobile shield. The team members followed behind, advancing the front towards the water tower as a whole.

Arthur took advantage of the sudden and violent firepower of the Snake Eagle team to completely suppress the opponent and jumped out from behind the bunker.The steel body in the night was faster and more violent than the human body, but it did not lose its flexibility and lightness. After several ups and downs, it arrived at the east side of the team's position.This is the edge of the battlefield, but a bright color somewhere has caught Arthur's attention before.Now that he had the chance to take a closer look, Arthur finally saw clearly what this bright color was - the clothes on a corpse buried in the rubble on the ground.

However, that shouldn't be the body of a militant.Because what the corpse was wearing was not a combat uniform, but... jeans and a red and black plaid shirt.

Arthur carefully stretched out his sword, inserted it into the gravel under the corpse, and picked up the corpse.The sand and gravel leaked out, and the body's originally covered head and hands were immediately exposed - a head as bare as an egg, glass eyes, a movable jaw, and each knuckle carefully made with ball joints. hand.This is not a human body, but a large life-size doll.

...Doll?Arthur frowned, and then connected the communication from the headquarters: "Command, according to the existing intelligence, how many apostles have been dispatched by the Crusaders? In addition to the already identified 'Warrior Captain'."

"——Just about to contact you. The latest news from the Intelligence Department is that the 'Artisan' may also be here."

Arthur was stunned for a moment, Zhenjian quickly shook off the puppet, and at the same time turned to look in the direction of the Snake Eagle Team.

The Snake Eagle team is advancing slowly to the north side of the forward platform.To the left of the direction of their movement, a pair of pale yellow dresses could be vaguely seen.Also buried in the rubble on the right was a brightly dressed corpse, which suddenly moved.Behind - amidst the deafening sound of gunfire, dozens of figures with puppet-like movements are climbing up from the ruins.

At the same time, he felt his right hand suddenly sink. Arthur quickly turned around and backed away, and shouted in the team channel: "Formation [-]!!"

When he lowered his head, he was shocked to see that the puppet he shook off just now was hugging his sword tightly, with its head resting on the jaw of the sword, shaking the mechanism at a high frequency "kokoko". Chin, seemed to be laughing at him.

Arthur let go of his sword without hesitation, and quickly retreated with his shield in front of him.

The moment Jian Shang was suspended in mid-air, a ball of flame suddenly swelled from the bottom of the glass eyeball of the puppet holding the sword, and in the blink of an eye it became a huge fireball that swallowed everything and exploded.

The gray armor also flew out.Although Arthur was not injured due to the defensive effect of the active shield, he could not avoid being blown away by the huge wind pressure of the explosion.

After a few meters, Night Knight's assist foot finally touched the ground.Arthur hurriedly moved a pair of mechanical arms to adjust his posture, trying to rebalance his body.

But at the same time, a particularly heavy gunshot sounded from the smoke that had not yet dissipated.

——With a "bang", the weakest elbow joint of Arthur's right mechanical arm that originally held the sword exploded, and the waving upper arm flew out directly.The broken pipe immediately sprayed out golden brown high-pressure hydraulic oil, which was like human blood.

Arthur immediately gave up his balancing act and fell down.A tactical knife that was about to cut across his throat also narrowly missed his chest armor, making an unpleasant metal friction sound.

The armor continued to slide on the ground for several meters before stopping.Arthur hid his shield in front of him and looked warily at the figure slowly emerging from the smoke - an ancient monk holding a hand cannon and a tactical knife and wearing a linen robe.

——The warrior captain finally appeared.

……

On the side of the Snake Eagle Team, they were still half a beat slower after hearing Arthur's order.It wasn't until the explosion sounded from Arthur's side that they began to change their formations in a hurry, dismantling the team members and EXOS arrays that were originally focused on charging forward, and redistributing them to formations for on-site defense in all directions.Then they found themselves surrounded.

To the south and east and west, dozens of dolls wearing human clothes stood around the team, each of them moving their mechanical jaws "click-click-click" crazily.

As if ordered by something, the puppets rushed towards the Snake Sculpture Team in various inhuman poses.

Although the situation was strange, the Snake Eagle Team was a battle-hardened STF. Without the captain's orders, as soon as the puppets rushed to a suitable distance, they were immediately greeted by a dense fire net with heavy firepower.I don’t know what materials these dolls were made of. They were still able to move under such firepower, not to mention not being shattered instantly.But the impact of the bullets poured down like a heavy rain was enough to knock them back two steps, and the impact was instantly shattered.

But Snake Eagle [-] became anxious and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Don't hit the head, don't hit the head! Just hit the lower body as much as possible to make them incapacitated and don't get close!!"

Certainly not because of humanitarianism.But they also saw the explosion on Arthur's side.Although I don’t know the specific situation, no fool can guess what tricks these dolls might be hiding.

The team members were stunned, and suddenly the firepower they had poured out as if they were free suddenly became restrained.

So, the dolls started moving forward again.This time it was two steps forward and one step back. Although it was slow but steady, it started to advance towards the snake eagle team.

To make matters worse, as soon as the firepower of the Snake Eagle Team to the north weakened, the Crusader Action Team, which had been completely suppressed, began to poke their heads out one by one, and cooperated with the puppets to press over.

Attack and defense are instantly interchanged.The Snake Eagle team huddled behind the EXOS position, and was beaten for a while and could only struggle to hold on.
