From Titan Corporation to the Empire of Man

Chapter 44 "Surrender or Die"

boom! ! !
  The deafening explosion resounded throughout the entire war zone, and the powerful shock wave spread from the center of the explosion to the surrounding areas at supersonic speeds, uprooting everything nearby and flying into the air.

The center bombed by the Valkyrie was the Na'vi sanctuary where the spiritual tree was located.

"Na...Na...(No...No...)!"

“Vitraya Ramunong (Tree of Souls)!!”

"Fwaì, oel ngati kameie (It's over, it's all over)!"

The Na'vi people outside the explosion's killing range found that their sanctuary was destroyed, and they all knelt down with their heads in their hands, but the expressions on their faces seemed to be more pain than sadness.

It seems that the destruction of the spirit tree by RDA and the loss of its "link" with Eva will make them sad and give them a lot of headaches.

This is simply the withdrawal reaction that occurs when you are dependent or addicted to something, but suddenly stop using it.

The ARS infantry who had swept into this area not only had a panoramic view of the Na'vi people's performance, but also used their helmet screens to take pictures and send them to the forward base hundreds of kilometers away.

The ARS infantry at the forefront had already pointed the muzzle of the rifle attached to the right arm of the machine at the Na'vi, and a sergeant with red shoulder armor used the helmet's external release device to shout loudly warned:
  "Attention all Na'vi people, please lie down on the ground and surrender immediately, otherwise we will take fatal measures. You only have three seconds to think, three...two...fire!"

“Tap-tap-tap!!!”

As soon as the words fell, the hundred ARS responsible for the first round of attack immediately launched a volley.

!!!

Putting aside whether these Na'vi people can understand human language, they don't even have time to make a decision in just three seconds.

puff! Bang!
  No matter how strong and hard the skin, muscles and bones are, the armor-free surface of 7.62mm, .50cal and 20mm is useless, and the flesh and blood clots are scattered everywhere.

"I go…"

"These guys are more efficient than us."

"Where did they come from?"

After witnessing the decisive and cold style of ARS, the RDA mercenaries on the left wing all expressed surprise and sighs.

One of the mercenaries was even more bold. He took a few more steps to come to the ARS line and asked the nearby ARS infantry:
  "Man, are you really leaving no one alive?"

Hearing this, ARS glanced at the mercenary, then continued to focus his gaze forward and said: "The order we received is to give the Na'vi people three seconds to think about it. Either surrender or die. There is no intention to leave any survivors." This statement, and the scene in front of them is their own choice, what does it have to do with us?"

"What the hell?"

The RDA mercenary was obviously shocked by the ARS infantry's remarks, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that... it probably made sense, so he nodded repeatedly and said:

"It's true. By the way, you were really too timely. If it had been half a minute later, we might have been swallowed up by the wave of wild beasts. But...where did you guys come from?"

"."

This time, the ARS infantry did not reply.

However, in their mission briefing, their superiors supported their efforts to negotiate and build relationships with the RDA mercenaries. However, they must not reveal any information about the main universe and the space gate to RDA until the foreign threat was completely resolved.

As for why their equipment and vehicles are so UDF, in fact, in the more than a year since the Atlas branch was established, the purchase of arms has not stopped at all.

In Universe Zero-1, the United Nations and the United Defense Forces unanimously decided to implement disarmament immediately. After all, the threat of mimicry has been eliminated, so there is no need to spend money on maintaining an overly large army. The laid-off UDF soldiers either returned to their hometowns with their retirement pay and chose to start a new life, or they could not accept the cruel reality and chose the mercenary profession and continued to work on the edge of a knife.

It was the transition period from war to peace that made Earth Zero-1 particularly chaotic in all aspects, but it also allowed the investigators who were the first to integrate into society to establish the Atlas branch without much hindrance.

In addition, the headquarters "provided money and food" behind the scenes, allowing the branch to take the opportunity to purchase a large amount of arms through the black market in the most chaotic Europe, especially Eastern Europe.

Without the enemy, the United Defense Force naturally does not want to keep too many vehicles and weapons. If they choose to seal them, they will need to pay additional care and maintenance costs. Even the cost of scrapping them is quite high, so it is better to sell them off.

As a result, a large amount of arms flowed into the black market, making it easier for the Atlas branch to purchase and reserve, or to serve the ARS for daily training, or for emergency use.

The main reason why ARS has not installed UDF mechanical skeletons on a large scale is because the mechanical skeletons produced by Atlas are more maneuverable, simpler, and more convenient for operators to perform tasks such as infiltration and reconnaissance.

For example, the Hunter Company, which is good at raids and assassinations, would rather wait in line for its own mechanical skeleton than use the old model of UDF.

However, in order to cope with Pandora's dangerous environment, the ARS company temporarily installed UDF skeletons and joined the battle on UDF air vehicles also purchased by the branch.

And this moment.

When the ARS infantry and RDA mercenaries temporarily cooperated and slowly advanced, they were in a dense forest a hundred meters away.

"No! No! Tia...Opara...is dead...all dead!"

Seeing that all her kind were shot to death and held captive, a female Na'vi cried loudly and roared with a hoarse voice.

call!call!
  Just when it didn't know what to do, there was a strong surge of air behind it.

It turned out that Jack Sally drove the phantom beast and landed in the woods, then turned over and jumped off the beast's back, ran towards the female Na'vi, took her into his arms, and said hurriedly:
  "Hey! Hey! Neytiri cheer up, now is not the time to be sad, our front has collapsed and we must retreat!"

This Na'vi named Neytiri was actually arranged by Eva to meet and fall in love with Jack Sally, and was one of the main factors in successfully bewitching Jack Sally.

But now Neytiri was obviously frightened, and all she could do was hug Jack and cry loudly.

Jack, who was also extremely panicked, had no choice but to pick up the opponent and prepare to escape from the battlefield on the Phantom Beast.

Whether it was defending the spiritual tree or the sanctuary, the current situation had already exceeded Jack's expectations, and apart from escaping for his life, Jack had no other thoughts at all. The reason why it betrayed humans was to be with Neytiri.

But when they were about to climb onto the Phantom Beast's back...

Rou——!!
  Along with the sound of breaking through the air, a metal spear drew a silver afterimage, and immediately pierced the Phantom Beast from top to bottom.

"Roar!!!" The severe pain made Phantom Beast roar to the sky uncontrollably.

? !
  Seeing this scene, Jack Sally didn't have time to think too much. He immediately threw Neytiri to the ground and prepared to hold the machine gun behind his back in his hands.

"Boom! Boom!"

But the unique continuous loud noise of .500 Magnum interrupted all Jack Sully's actions.

　New year, new atmosphere
