From cannon fodder to sweeping across thousands of stars

Chapter 70 Tactical transition

Amber was really surprised when he heard that Isabel was also in the armored vehicle. He really didn't expect that the female spy would be so desperate.

"No, Captain, why did she escape into this armored vehicle?"

Amber rushed over immediately, and then temporarily put Randall and Tom on the ground, ready to help save people.

"Sir, the commander of this vehicle went to relieve himself in the woods, but when the Empire HCP attacked, he was killed before he could get into the vehicle."

The mobile infantry running in front was slightly shocked by Amber's physical resistance to the two people, and then continued:

"Just seeing that you were in danger, Captain Margaret ran to the car to control the chain gun, and then rushed out with him."

"Huh? The captain can also operate a chain gun?"

After hearing the words of the mobile infantry, Amber didn't know what to say for a moment.

Amber has always treated Isabel with a temporary cooperation mentality.

After all, the other party's identity is a spy of the Star Dragon Empire, and he also comes from a noble family.

In terms of ideology, compared to Amber, it can be said that he lives on a completely different plane.

Therefore, Amber has always been careful to keep a distance from Isabel, and at most she occasionally pinches her face.

Some of the interactions between the two parties seemed more like some kind of 'playing on the spot' in Amber's opinion.

But now that she heard that this girl dared to sit in an armored vehicle and charge an HCP, Amber suddenly felt that the actual situation was different from what she thought?

"Master, your heart rate is elevated."

Lilith's voice suddenly appeared in her mind. After being temporarily stored in the microprocessor on the back of Amber's neck, Lilith could let Amber hear her voice directly without even using headphones.

At this moment, the AI's voice was filled with a hint of joking.

"I'm tired from carrying two fat navy pigs for such a long distance! Don't let your imagination run wild."

Amber didn't change her expression and communicated directly with Lilith in her mind.

"Master~ Did I say anything? I just reminded you that your heart rate has increased. Is there something secret in your mind that makes you think I'm imagining something else?"

After calling Amber ‘Master’ once before, Lilith seemed not to change her title.

But to Amber at this moment, this tone made him want to drag Lilith to the real world, and then press her on his knees to punish her.

Unfortunately, he can't do it for the time being, and he can't shut this guy down yet.

After storing it in her microprocessor, Amber discovered that Lilith was directly connected to her nerves and brain through the superconducting fibers in her body.

Unless he turns off the microprocessor, there's really no way to quiet this guy down.

"I was careless. I will definitely change the processor in the future."

Ignoring Lilith's thoughts in her mind, "I'm just flat with A, why did you use the ultimate move?" ’ and other taunts, Amber walked to the side of the armored vehicle.

He and the two mobile infantrymen watched for a long time and found that in the previous battle, several hatches of the armored vehicle had deformed to a certain extent during the collision and rolling process, and they could not be opened through normal means.

"What kind of quality is this? It's too outrageous."

Amber frowned as if doing embroidery, and released a psychic blast, shattering the connection points at the tail hatch.

Two mobile infantrymen immediately stepped forward, slightly increased the power of the exoskeleton, and removed the entire tail hatch.

Amber, who was relatively flexible, immediately got in. After confirming that the driver's condition and vital signs were still stable, he opened the driver's hatch from the inside, and then carefully sent the unconscious driver out of the hatch. Got out.

Then, he returned to the captain's seat at the back and took Isabel out of the captain's seat.

Fortunately, the woman remembered to put on her driving helmet and fasten her cross seat belt. Although she fell to pieces with the armored vehicle, she seemed to have just fainted.

The space inside the armored vehicle was not very large, so Amber turned around and dragged Isabel to the door of the tail cabin, and then carried the female spy out in a princess hug.

At this moment, a series of screams came from the sky.

Amber looked up and saw dozens of rockets trailing long trails across the sky, finally landing in the mountains and forests in the northeast, bursting out with bursts of fire. A moment later, the loud sound of a plasma rocket hitting the ground and exploding came. Isabel in Amber's arms seemed to be awakened by the sound. She said softly, "Hmm~", and then slowly opened her eyes.

When she saw Amber hugging her, her eyes lit up at first, and then dimmed.

"Amber, it turns out you are dead too"

"."

Amber was speechless for a moment. He reached out and pinched Isabel's face with a little force.

"Bah, bah, bah, what a crow's mouth! Neither of us are dead yet!"

"Oh, it hurts, it hurts!"

Isabel instantly put on a mask of pain.

"As long as you know the pain, can you still move around? The long-range fire cover from the friendly forces has just landed. We must seize the time to retreat from here."

Amber glanced at the fire that had been ignited in the forest in the distance. He knew that the time that a wildfire alone could delay was limited.

"Put me down and I'll see if I can still walk."

Isabel, whose face was slightly red, struggled to stand up from Amber's 'princess hug', but she felt dizzy when her feet touched the ground and she almost fell to the ground.

Obviously, the whole person has not recovered from the impact and roll just now.

"Well, well, don't be so pushy."

Amber, who didn't want to waste any more time, was just about to lift Isabel up when she suddenly thought of two people lying on the ground.

But at this time, the other two mobile infantrymen quickly understood the meaning of the phrase 'pay attention to the timing of entry'.

They didn't even need to communicate. They carried Randall and Tom on their shoulders one by one in a tacit understanding. Then they took off a folding stretcher mounted on their backs, unfolded it and put the armored vehicle driver on it.

One of the mobile infantry looked at Amber and said resolutely:

"Sir, you are responsible for carrying Captain Margaret. We both wear exoskeletons, so there is no problem in carrying the three of them!"

After saying that, the two men strode directly towards the evacuation direction with the three wounded people.

Amber carried Isabel on her back and endured Lilith's constant "Who is this woman?" ’, ‘What’s her relationship with you? ’ and other inquiries, he and the other two motorized infantry quickly rushed to the temporary assembly point of their remaining soldiers.

After checking the personnel situation in the command interface and confirming that all the people who were still alive and able to move had arrived, Amber took the remaining people and set off in the direction of friendly forces.

After this battle, Amber's remnant soldiers could be said to have become "the remnant soldiers among the remnant soldiers" and suffered heavy losses.

In terms of vehicles, only four armored vehicles and two transport trucks were left, and in terms of personnel, only 42 people were left, including more than a dozen wounded.

The luckiest thing in this misfortune may be that the transport truck carrying the 'Breaker 2' exoskeleton survived.

After weighing for a moment, Amber retained only the minimum reserves of fuel, ammunition, food, a full amount of medical supplies and drinking water, and brought the 'Breaker 2'.

The remaining supplies were discarded directly on the spot, so that the free transport trucks could carry all the wounded.

The other soldiers who could move squeezed into the armored vehicle with Amber.

For this reason, several mobile infantrymen had to temporarily take off their exoskeleton and throw it into the transport truck, and then they reluctantly allowed everyone to enter the vehicle.

Amber and the others quickly set off again, heading towards the planned evacuation position 45 kilometers away, where there was already a leading force of friendly forces waiting to respond.

Not long after the convoy drove out, there were violent explosions in the woodland where they had fought and in the area where they had just assembled.

Amber looked to the rear through the commander's mirror and saw several huge mushroom clouds rising into the sky.
