The Terra Travel Diary of Neither Sacred, Rhea, nor Terra

“The city blocks are decoupled?”

Each mobile city is made up of several to dozens of urban blocks, such as the infected block where the Rhine Life Factory is located.

These blocks vary in size, but the smallest one is more than ten square kilometers, and the largest one is hundreds of square kilometers.

These blocks are usually closely linked together to create the effect of an entire city.

When a natural disaster strikes, these city blocks will decouple from each other and move away from the disaster's impact area at the fastest speed in different directions.

After the natural disaster is over, they will be merged together again to form a new city.

The decoupling of this block now is definitely not to avoid natural disasters. Wouldn’t the earth spirit who has been on duty in the observation room for several days know whether there is a natural disaster or not?

Putting aside this possibility, the remaining possibility is that the city managers chose to decouple this block for some other purposes.

The manager of Tikarendo is naturally only John's mother, who is entrenched here and is fighting a corporate war with Rhine Life.

"Are we going to give up even a block for a corporate war?" Di Ling wondered whether he should find a safer place to hide.

Decoupling so quickly is definitely not a normal decoupling, but a destructive forced decoupling.

This is usually done only when a mobile city needs to abandon a block.

The war that can sacrifice a block shows how intense the next battle will be.

However, Di Ling thought about it and found that the observation room he was in was the safest.

No matter how safe it is, it's not safe at all. Should I hide next to Miku?

After analyzing the situation, the Earth Spirit decided to continue to stick to his post in the observation room and observe the natural disaster clouds in the distance.

But a few minutes later, Di Ling rushed out of the observation room in a panic and ran all the way to the command center where Miku and Kristen were.

When the local spirits rushed into the command center, Kal'tsit and Amiya were there. In addition to them, the Sakota engineer, whom Miku called 16 pigeons, was also reporting to Miku and Kristen.

"John's mother forcibly decoupled the infected block. Because of the forced decoupling, it did not enter the internal circulation, and a small amount of sewage underground backflowed. However, it is being processed and there is no major problem at the moment."

"How's the defense line? There's no way the other party is simply decoupling the land." Christen asked, not surprised that the other party reacted so quickly after the negotiation failed.

"Everything is ready. We are just waiting for them to come..." As 16 Pigeon said this, the communicator hanging on her shoulder flashed red several times.

Knowing what was going on, Pigeon 16 immediately said:

"It looks like they're already here."

Accompanying 16 Ge's words was a series of explosions outside the observation window of the command room.

Urged by the order to attack, John's mother's soldiers fought in groups against the bombardment of automatic crossbow machines and garrison artillery.

After leaving behind a pile of corpses, forcing a breakthrough was useless.

A high voltage electrical gate.

According to the tactical deduction of Commander John's mother, as long as enough troops can break in, those powerful garrison artillery will lose their deterrent effect.

Those guys from Rhine Life can't just blow up their own factories, right?

It just so happened that John's mother's army stationed in this area had accumulated enough troops, including some very powerful red-label mercenaries.

That's why we can use such tactics.

However, waiting for the soldiers who broke through were the newly formed Rhine Life Guard Army.

The Crusader siege soldiers who had been ready for battle after the failure of the negotiations had long been waiting at the tactical positions assigned by Instructor Dobin himself, with siege crossbows more than a meter tall in their hands set up.

With the help of the power of prosthetic transformation, these attackers easily pulled the crossbow strings that previously only races with strong physical strength like Vaifan could pull.

Crossbow arrows used for armor-piercing or explosive functions were placed on siege crossbows at different positions according to the orders of the battlefield command and dispatch system.

The siege fighters who were ready to shoot moved their crossbows, keeping their crosshairs on the preview circle on the screen in front of them.

The moment the pre-aiming circles turned green, the siege fighters immediately pulled the triggers and shot crossbow arrows at the soldiers who rushed into the factory.

The thick armor-piercing crossbow arrow pierced through the heavily-armored vanguard holding a shield who was rushing in the front.

Even some heavily armored mercenaries reacted quickly and waved their large shields to block one or two armor-piercing crossbow arrows.

They would also be followed closely by more armor-piercing crossbow arrows, turning them into hedgehogs.

"It's a siege crossbow!" The Red Label mercenary with rich combat experience immediately understood what kind of opponent he was facing.

The archers and warlocks who were not targeted by the armor-piercing crossbows raised their weapons and aimed at the direction where the crossbows were fired.

However, before they could find their target, explosive crossbow arrows rained down upon them.

A series of explosions also splashed up a series of smoke and dust, blocking the mercenaries' vision.

When the guards among the mercenaries broke through the smoke, with the help of the factory's own pipeline buildings and the unique physical advantages of the Terrans, they jumped several dozen meters deep to the tactical position of the Crusader siege crossbowmen.

The siege crossbowmen stationed here had already put away their siege crossbows and moved to the next position.

Only these guards who jumped in were left alone.

To be precise, it is a trigger-type anti-personnel broadsword mine made by a Rhine Life engineer of the Luper clan and named "Loneliness".

In order to avoid being blown into briquettes by the "Lonely" anti-personnel mine, the mercenary captain, who had fallen and eaten mud, shouted to his men:

"Ignore them and go inside the factory!"

The mercenaries gave up fighting the long-range troops head-on, and after suffering nearly half of their casualties while enduring all kinds of siege crossbows fired from all directions, they rushed into a corridor with fewer tactical shooting positions.

The mercenary captain who ordered his subordinates to make a brief correction spat angrily: "Hetui, just f*cking (Sarkaz swear word) knows that this money is not easy to take."

At first, this mercenary had no intention of accepting the offer from John's mother. After all, the opponent was Rhine Life, an arms dealer of the same level as Thor Industries.

Who knows what magical thing the other party will take out to grind you into meat paste.

But John's mother signed the employment agreement and ended the dark history, forcing these mercenaries to sign the red-label employment agreement.

Fortunately, it is a red label. Unlike other employment methods that pay money afterwards, the red label pays money directly before the battle, and the money is paid according to the pension amount for deaths in battle.

It is equivalent to the money for buying one's life in the mercenary world.

Now that your life has been bought, let’s fight.

The scar left after the head fell off is only the size of a bowl. For these Sarkaz mercenaries who have long put their heads on their waistbands, death is not scary.

Not to mention that after the fight, you can get the same amount of money again... provided you finish the fight alive and win.

How many mercenaries want to sign the red label but don’t have the ability to do so?

"Boss, are there any Rhine Life robots popping out of here?"

The mercenary at the side said with some concern.

"Don't you know how to say anything nice?"

Then there was a series of Sarkaz swear words, all without repetition and with a dialect accent.

The mercenary captain reacted so strongly because he was also afraid of encountering Rhine Life's robots.

Although this group of mercenaries that had just signed the employment agreement did not participate in the previous exploratory attacks and had not met the Rhine life robots in the underground pipeline area.

However, in the tactical intelligence obtained before the war, emphasis was placed on those powerful and seemingly indestructible Rhine life robots.

Because there was no useful intelligence, the only evaluation in the tactical intelligence was "extremely dangerous".

The more this was the case, the more the mercenary captain didn't want to encounter such an enemy. He didn't want his team to become a line in the tactical intelligence that was used to remind others how dangerous that thing was.

The mercenary captain's prayers seemed to have some effect...or rather, almost all the mecha units in this factory were deployed underground.

Only a small part

Arranged at key locations of above-ground buildings.

At the same time, this factory, which is mainly used to produce stockings, does not have the technology and equipment to manufacture those mechas.

Unfortunately, the mercenary captain's prayer was only half effective.

This group of mercenaries did not encounter mechas, but they also encountered enemies that they could not deal with.

With the sound of heavy footsteps, heavily armored Crusaders holding nearly two-meter-high tower shields appeared in the corridor in a row.

Compared with the shields in the hands of these heavily armored warriors, the shields in the hands of these heavily armored mercenaries are like freshly baked pancakes.

"Could it be the shield guard??"

The mercenary captain gasped when he saw the appearance of these heavily armored warriors and was reminded of the famous heavy armored troops of Ursus.

But regardless of whether these people were shield guards or not, the mercenary captain shouted without hesitation:

"Warlocks, line up! Get ready to cast spells!"

Hearing the captain's order, the warlocks who had just been devastated by the attack of explosive crossbow arrows hurriedly dragged their injured bodies, raised their hands high and gathered energy.

Most of the Sarkaz mercenaries are infected, and they do not need the help of spellcasting units when casting spells.

Using warlocks to fight against heavy tanks is considered a basic operation among Terrans, because most heavy tanks' spell resistance is not very high.

For archers or guards, fighting this kind of profession is basically just scratching the surface... Of course, this excludes heavy archers or siege fighters.

However, the mercenary captain felt that even if heavy archers or siege soldiers came, they might not be able to break the shields in the hands of these heavily armored warriors.

Now I just hope that the career branches of these heavy-armored warriors are not guardians who are biased towards spell confrontation.

The mercenary captain was thinking this while also looking around, hoping to find a way to escape.

Unfortunately, their opponents, this heavily armored force did not give him this opportunity, nor did they even give his warlocks the chance to cast spells on their shields.

Behind the heavily armed troops lined up in a row were two rows of fortress guards, also heavily armed and carrying siege crossbows.

These sub-professions are the fortress's heavy-armored crusaders, and they have an extra shield compared to other siege fighters.

At the same time, the only crossbows they are equipped with are explosive crossbows.

The siege crossbow was placed on the shield, and the explosive crossbow arrows were placed in the magazine.

Unlike siege fighters, these fortresses did not need to take too much aim, as they could just pull the trigger at the command.

Along with the sound of crossbow arrows flying in the air, they continued to install explosive crossbows in an orderly manner and continued to pull the triggers.

Soon, the mercenaries who had just formed their positions were knocked to the ground by the series of explosions.

The mercenary captain relied on his own strength, withstood the saturation attack, and rushed to the front of the position dragging his greatsword, looking as if he was ready to fight to the death.

However, in the heavy armored line, the heavy hammer, who was nearly 30 centimeters taller than his companions, raised the shield in his hand and smashed the mercenary captain into the ground with a "duang".

Then he lifted his foot which was made up of mechanical prosthetic limbs and stepped down hard, rolling it back and forth a few times.

After confirming that the mercenaries that rushed into the factory had been completely wiped out, Heavy Hammer said in the communication:

"Area A has been processed."

"As you command, move the front immediately."

After receiving the new order, Heavy Hammer led his troops to other battlefields. After they left, several cleaning robots drove out of the corridor and cleaned up the corpses to prevent the Originium dust from turning into secondary pollution to the factory area after the infected mercenaries died.

Such scenes are happening at almost every outer defense line of the factory.

From this we can determine that John's mother's attack was launched from all directions simultaneously.

"It's just a test. Let everyone stay at their posts and don't pursue." Miku said after receiving this information.

"Everything is going as planned, Chief Engineer." As a Sakota who is considered to be a martial people among the Terra people, 16 pigeons did not become nervous at all because of John's mother's all-round attack.

If it wasn't her duty that required her to report here, she would have already raised the M16 guard rifle behind her and let those soldiers of John's mother experience what Rutland brand shower gel is.

"Have the subsequent tactical arrangements been made?" Miku asked, knowing that the gun-wielding angel in front of him was eager to try.

"Instructor Doberman has already prepared several tactical arrangements for dealing with different situations, and the treatment department is also ready at all times, so there won't be too many casualties." 16 Pigeons replied.

"Don't worry too much about casualties, this is war." Miku said to the 16th pigeon in a very Babel-like way.

"I understand. This is a war." 16 Pigeons nodded immediately.

The reason why they prepared such a comprehensive logistical and medical support is, on the one hand, because Rhine Life excels in fighting with a small number of troops against a large one, relying on high technology.

On the other hand, there are those infected workers who have been transformed into Skitarii, each of whom has written one or even several papers.

How can we let them sacrifice so easily...

Seriously speaking, this is what the Rhine Life engineers, led by 16 pigeons, really think.

Miku did not correct 16 pigeons' idea too much, because it was also in line with the style of the Mechanicus.

Having released 16 pigeons, Micoud finally turned his attention to the first

After rushing in, he asked the earth spirit who was waiting beside him without saying a word:
