From Titan Corporation to the Empire of Man

Outside Prison No. 12.

call out-! call out-!

The low-intensity sonic booms of warheads piercing the air at high speed resounded all around, and they were especially dense in the west.

I saw numerous soldiers wearing earth-brown cold weather clothing and holding 5.56 or 7.62 caliber firearms behind the alleyways and low walls of the main road. They cooperated with the few remaining diesel mechas to confront the AECS guarding the prison.

Bang—bang—!

But at this time, large-caliber anti-machine shells fired from the direction of the prison directly blasted holes in the waists of several mechas, forcing them to be scrapped.

The burning wreckage of personnel carriers and helicopters on the road, as well as the mutilated corpses and wailing injuries all showed that this group of soldiers had tried to launch a storm on the prison, but the end result was heavy losses.

At the entrance of the alley.

"This is the 3rd Battalion! Mission failed, repeat, mission failed! We alone cannot retake the prison, please support!"

A lieutenant colonel wearing a respirator and a black warm hat was loudly reporting the battle situation using individual soldier communications.

Suddenly, when the lieutenant colonel heard the words coming back from the communication line, his voice suddenly rose a few degrees: "What do you mean that more than a thousand people can't defeat a few hundred people?! You guys who have never been to the front line come over here on your own. Try it! Those people are not the PPDC (Pan Pacific Defense Forces), listen clearly! They are not the fucking PPDC! And they are backed by heavy weapons!

Don't you understand? If you want to continue broadcasting live executions, send armored support as soon as possible, our infantry battalion can't handle it! Don't make any sarcastic remarks there! "

At the end, the lieutenant colonel shut down the communication in anger. It seemed that the current command level was extremely chaotic.

Moreover, the conservative federal lieutenant colonel was still confused. Where did the PPDC find reinforcements?

The opponent was crushing them from all sides, and the terrain of the prison was easy to defend and difficult to attack. If there was no cover provided by heavy armor, they would almost die if they showed up.

Therefore, facing such a situation, the best solution is to mobilize heavy artillery, which can not only kill the enemy, but also avoid the continuous increase in casualties.

However, what they want is to continue live broadcasting executions to deter all radical forces lurking in the dark, and by the way, further weaken and collapse the people's resistance to the pioneers.

The lieutenant colonel is not a puppet cloned by pioneers and controlled by nerves. He is a real human being. The reason why he is willing to work for the conservatives is to keep the military power in his hands and enjoy the "high-class" life that military power brings. The few who benefit from the post-apocalypse.

If the Federation passes PPDC's mecha construction plan, the situation that has been stable for twenty years will be broken. This is something that the lieutenant colonel and the beneficiaries of the doomsday cannot tolerate.

For the sake of show, they rejected the heavy artillery plan, so they needed to send armored battalions to support, and infantry and tanks coordinated to launch a general attack on the prison.

And aviation brigade support.

Because it is surrounded by tall buildings, coupled with the excellent individual air defense capabilities of AECS, helicopters entering this area are equivalent to living targets.

But the reply from the command level was: "Your 1,600-person reinforced battalion is actually helpless to deal with the stinky fish and shrimps of 2-300 people? Where have you spent your money and supplies over the years?" ? Eat, drink, whore, and gamble?"

Hearing the undisguised doubts and ridicules made the lieutenant colonel extremely angry. But it was indeed the case. They alone could not defeat the well-equipped and experienced AECS, and he was reluctant to kill all the soldiers.

Fortunately, there were still "reasonable" officers at the command level. When they learned that the Lieutenant Colonel's attack was blocked, they immediately mobilized the nearest armored battalion to prepare for assistance.

Before long, nearly thirty main battle tanks equipped with 120mm smoothbore guns and more armored vehicles bypassed the intersection, appearing like several armored dragons on the main road, and also entered the sight of the lieutenant colonel and others. .

Seeing this, the lieutenant colonel immediately ordered on the communication: "Prepare the Bu-tan collaboration! Whoever can rush into the prison first, I will quintuple the promised bonus! A total of 50,000! Moreover, I will also reward him with an additional set High-rise apartment in Harbor Towers!”

"Oh!!! Yes! Sir!"

The morale of the federal soldiers was high. Every one of them rushed out of the bunker with red eyes, and cooperated with the armored convoy that came to support and continued to launch a fierce attack on the prison.

A bonus of fifty thousand is fine, but a high-rise apartment in Harbor Building is a life-changing opportunity!

Bang—bang—!

Several main battle tanks also used 120mm smoothbore guns to blast open the prison's main entrance and part of the wall.

Looking at the AECS side;

boom-! boom-!

Deafening explosions resounded everywhere.

call out-! call out-!

Coupled with the intensive whistling, the AECS stationed on the high wall faced a veritable "rain of bullets."

Without order from the team leader, several demolition soldiers took off the disposable anti-tank "bazooka" carried on their backs, carried it on their shoulders, aimed at the target, and shouted:

"Confirm safety!"

"confirm!"

After hearing the replies from his teammates, the demolition soldier pulled the trigger.

Ri~咻——!

With a short energy-accumulating sound, the "bazooka" actually fired plasma that emitted dazzling blue light, and the extremely high-temperature cannon was more effective than traditional rockets, directly melting through the composite armor of the main battle tank.

Boom. Boom~——!

One shell even hit the ammunition depot inside the tank, causing a cascade explosion and blasting the turret several meters high.

Hiss.

As for the plasma cannon that began to deform and twist due to the high temperature, it was directly discarded by the demolition soldiers.

At this time, the demolition soldiers seemed to have done something ordinary, with almost no big change in expression. They picked up the AMWS rifle with a 40mm grenade launcher and returned to the battle.

As elite members of the AECS, their psychological quality and combat experience are indeed overwhelming the federal soldiers outside.

What's more, their weapons and equipment are also the most advanced. For example, the modified BFG used by the leader of the special combat team deployed here is enough to pose a fatal threat to traditional armored tanks.

Da! Dada!

At this time, Jaynes Thompson, who was in the sentry tower on the right side of the west gate, was controlling the .30cal smart machine gun in his hand to carry out precise fire suppression with long and short bursts.

The expression under the helmet screen was slightly tense and solemn due to the fierce battle, but there was no panic. You know, he had experienced the wars in the 04 and 05 universes, and was responsible for the construction and protection of the front-line base. He was definitely an elite veteran.

However, under the comprehensive siege of two battalions and nearly 4,000 people, they gradually felt overwhelmed. The ammunition had been consumed by more than half, the number of people was more than ten times different, and all kinds of pressures seemed to be concentrated at one point in an instant.

However, since the order was to act as bait, defend the prison and ensure the personal safety of the PPDC generals, they would execute it to the end without hesitation.

After all, Magnus led the hunters straight to the control center of the Iron City, while the main force was on the way to transport.

!

Suddenly, he and his comrades beside him noticed that the two tanks had left the obstruction of sight, and then turned their guns to aim at the sentry tower where they were.

"Retreat!"

Everyone turned around and jumped towards the exercise yard in the prison.

Boom! Boom!

As soon as they left, the sentry tower was blown up by two 120mm high-explosive bombs.

After Jaynes and several comrades jumped out of the sentry tower, they used mechanical skeletons to buffer and rolled forward to successfully unload the force.

"Huh!" Jaynes was lying on the ground. After confirming that the status of his comrades was green and yellow through the helmet screen, he was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief and laughed: "It's so thrilling! Are you all still alive? Hahaha."

"Alive, shut up." The comrade numbered three, the old friend with a son and a daughter, replied: "The team leader marked the new defense position and asked us to assist the second group whose situation is not optimistic."

"Yes, let's go." Jaynes knew that this was not the time to joke, and prepared to get up and go to the east side of the prison.

"This is ODST, please pay attention to the dangerous distance of the ground forces, over."

?

!

A simple reminder on the communication channel made Jaynes and others stunned at first, but they immediately realized that this was the prelude to the arrival of the main force!

Looking up, you can see the "meteor shower" all over the night sky.

However, only ten of the friendly forces identified on the helmet screen are medium-sized airdrop pods carrying ODST, Tyrant and combat mecha.

Boom. Boom.!

And there are faint explosions everywhere in the city, which indirectly indicates that the ghost fighters that adopt beyond visual range combat are dealing with the defense facilities inside the Iron City and the federal army that obeys the conservatives.

Suddenly!

Two explosions resounded around the prison, bringing the originally fierce gunfight to an abrupt end.

"This is the Phantom formation. The bombing mission has been completed. We are currently speeding to the Iron City and preparing to use machine guns to assist friendly units in the war zone first. If there are difficult targets, please mark them for us. Over."

"Support is finally here!"

"Don't forget the mission. We have to help the brothers in Group 2."

"Yes, yes."

Jaynes and others who reacted only cheered briefly and hurriedly climbed the high wall on the east side of the prison.

It's just that the AECS Second Special Operations Team doesn't need any help at all, or in other words, all the AECS in the prison are no longer "stressed" in an instant.

Looking down from the sky.

The conservative federal army, which had already posed a serious threat to the AECS, was directly hit by two missiles, and even the lieutenant colonel died on the spot.

This caused the morale of the federal soldiers to plummet, and their desire for a 100,000 bonus and a high-end apartment was greatly reduced. More than half of them were only concerned with escaping.

After the ten airdrop pods completed the landing, the situation on the prison side was completely in the hands of Atlas.

Continuing to increase the altitude, you can see that the large transport formation mainly composed of the Silver Gull and Luna transport boats has arrived above the Iron City.

After two months of infiltration and investigation, the transport formation transported the fully armed ARS, AECS and clones to the location of the federal representatives, officials and generals, and quickly launched a surprise attack.

Among them, the clones commanded by the AECS team adopted an "aggressive" combat style, executing tactical actions such as alternating shooting and alternating cover to move forward quickly, leaving the defenders no chance to react.

Of course, if the situation permits, the AECS leader will issue the order to the clones to "prioritize the enemy's ability to move", and the clones who receive the order will shoot the federal soldiers in the shoulders, legs and abdomen as much as possible, and then Whether they live or die can only depend on the luck of the federal soldiers.

ARS and AECS still performed stably, and Titans and Killer main battle tanks formed a small-scale armored torrent.

Faced with such an offensive, the federal army, which had no mechanical skeleton and no automatic calibration function, was retreating steadily. What's more, the attention of the federal high-level officials was attracted by Prison No. 12 in the Southern District and the hydrogen bomb explosion in North America, and they had no time to deal with Atlas. A surprise attack by Sri Lanka's main force.

In addition, Magnus and Hunter occupied the main control center of the Iron City, causing the internal communication and command system to be paralyzed. The two ships were extremely visually impactful and were regarded as "sky behemoths" by the locals. The arrival of the assault boats was the last straw for the federal army.

With internal chaos and powerful enemies outside, the federal soldiers completely collapsed. They either surrendered voluntarily or chose to flee to the mixed buffer zone.

But before the federal soldiers completely collapsed, Atlas had already completed its main goal——

Capture top federal officials.

Forty hours later.

Oak Building.

In a living unit on the twenty-eighth floor;

"Ugh." A little girl of thirteen or fourteen years old walked out of the bedroom sleepily.

She walked straight into the living room, leaned back on the sofa, picked up the remote control, and turned on the TV, only to find that the screen was still like snowflakes. She couldn't help but mutter:

"When can I watch TV?"

"When you finish brushing your teeth and washing your face, there will be a signal." Mother, who was preparing breakfast in the kitchen, reminded with a smile.

"You still treat me as a child?" The girl didn't believe it.

But the girl said that, but her body acted honestly.

The family's residence does not seem to be much different from the lower floors of other buildings.

But once you enter the kitchen, you will find a variety of seasonings and sauces, and breakfast consists of fresh fruits and vegetables, as well as sandwiches made of lunch meat and bread slices, and even milk brewed with milk powder.

Low-rise residents in other areas usually choose to eat black protein blocks and soaked noodles with synthetic meat or mouse meat. In comparison, the girl's family's breakfast can be described as "luxury".

The price of this sandwich breakfast alone is worth two lunches in the high-rise area.

Sudden;

"Everyone! I am Sui Yang, the founder of Atlas. From now on, Atlas will be responsible for everything in the City of Steel."

? !

The girl who had just finished brushing her teeth suddenly heard the powerful opening introduction sound coming from the TV, and rushed out of the bathroom.

Returning to the living room, she found that the TV screen was no longer a snowflake screen, but a live broadcast of the Federal Parliament lobby. As for the man who claimed to be the founder of Atlas, he was standing in the center of the lobby.

What surprised the girl was that standing next to the man was actually the manager of their building, the leader of the Titan Gang, Magnus.

What's happening here? ?
