Chapter 1657 The Second Battle of Davos, on the Eve!
Southeast Asia, the second Davao City Cluster.
The Second Davao City Cluster, located in the tropics, is in the rainy season. As torrential rains wash away the ruins of this city cluster, they also wash away the blood that has spread among the broken walls, making the entire street filled with a glaring red color, and making the monster remains ravaged by cannonballs and beams look particularly terrifying.
Especially under the thunder and lightning, the increasingly pale monster corpses under the constantly flashing lightning sent chills down the spines of the Earth Federation soldiers guarding the front line.
"Pat-pat...pat-pat..."
A series of hurried footsteps, pattering through the rain, made everyone inside the tent look up at the tent entrance.
The next second, a slender figure wearing a wet raincoat that was dripping with rain stepped into the tent.
"When is this rain going to stop?!"
As the complaints arose and the raincoats came off, the people inside the tent saw familiar faces, followed by a burst of laughter.
"Hahaha!! See! I knew it! Even though the torrential rain is a problem, Miss Iruma will still deliver the food here on time."
"Yeah, yeah! Tsk tsk! I never expected that you, Amuro, would steal the flowers of our Calaba! It's absolutely outrageous!!"
Facing the boisterous laughter of a group of burly men in black jackets gathered around the tactical platform, the blonde woman, having hung up her raincoat and picked up her lunchbox, walked calmly to the edge of the platform. She then looked around, her gaze gradually sharpening.
(Betotija Iruma)
The elite pilots, who dared to risk their lives on the battlefield and regarded death as nothing, immediately stood at attention, winked at the man standing below the map, apologized, and then walked out of the tent in groups.
Watching his close friends and comrades-in-arms, who were also inseparable companions, walk out of the tent in the pouring rain while cheering him on, the man standing below the map sighed helplessly and looked at the blonde woman who placed the lunchbox in front of him.
“Bertigia, you don’t actually need to bring the food on time. Now is not the time to eat on time.”
Before the man could finish speaking, the other person pressed a finger to his mouth.
"No! That's precisely why you need to eat properly, eat your fill! Otherwise, what if you suddenly get hungry during the battle?"
After speaking, the blonde woman named Bertiga Iruma withdrew her finger, smiled gently, leaned against the tactical platform, and squinted at the man.
"Or is the legendary Amuro Ray the kind of ruthless character who doesn't feel hunger during battle?"
"Beltija, I..."
The man opened his mouth, about to explain, and even wanted to bring up his past experiences in the war as evidence, but suddenly he became speechless.
"Fine. I give up. Bertiga. I'll start eating now! But after I finish eating, you'd better leave here obediently so our strategic meeting can continue."
Amuro Ray sighed helplessly, picked up the lunchbox, and was immediately stunned.
"Hehe. How is it? Today's meals are all your favorites! I made them myself."
Bertiga smiled smugly, then picked up a fork and brought a piece of beef covered in sauce to Amuro's mouth.
Come on! Ah~~
“I, I’m not a child, Bertiga!”
Amuro Ray's brow furrowed, and he quickly said...
Little did he know that his somewhat unprepared expression after being hit only made Bertiga even more smug.
"What does it matter? Come on! Ah~" Amuro Ray's gaze wandered around and he suddenly noticed that there seemed to be several figures swaying back and forth outside the tent. He was at a loss and could only bite the bullet and accept Bertiga's kindness so that she could leave the tent as soon as possible.
"Hmm~ That's right! You need to eat well to have the energy to fight! And..."
Bertiga stopped teasing Amuro Ray and casually placed the fork in his hand before reaching out to touch his tightly furrowed brow.
"Isn't the reinforcement that General Rebil mentioned already on its way? I believe the situation will improve soon."
Amuro Ray, who was not so resistant to Bertiga's affectionate touch on his forehead, gradually closed his eyes and slowly responded to Bertiga's words.
“I know. However, because of this torrential rain, our operation to retake the city’s outskirts has been delayed far too long. If this continues, I’m afraid the second Davao city cluster will end up like the third Tokyo city cluster.”
“But look, Amuro. Colonel Ming, personally recommended by General Reibir, has already recaptured the Third Tokyo urban cluster, hasn’t he? So, Amuro, you don’t need to push yourself like this!”
As Bertiga massaged his head, Amuro's tense mind gradually relaxed.
But he remained determined to complete the operation to recapture the city's outskirts as soon as possible.
“I know! But if we can recapture the city’s outskirts sooner, then after Colonel Ming’s reinforcements arrive, we will face fewer enemies and be able to achieve final victory more easily.”
Bertiga looked with heartache at the man who had opened his eyes again and was frantically picking at his food to finish his meal so that they could continue the tactical meeting. She sighed inwardly and then relayed the information she had just received.
"Amro. According to the weather department's forecast, there will be a 5-hour window in the next 68 hours."
"real?!"
Amro asked in surprise.
"Yes. But it won't be more than five hours."
"Good! That's enough! As long as there's a window of opportunity of more than four hours, I'm confident I can retake the outer areas of the city!"
"Boom!!!"
As we approached the waters surrounding the island where the Second Davao is located, the previously clear sky suddenly became overcast, with thunder and lightning, and even the calm, azure sea below became turbulent.
"Can they make it to Davao?"
He Ming arrived at the bridge of the Garuda and asked.
"Yes, Colonel Ming. We can guarantee the completion of the mission. However, judging from the current changes in the surrounding environment, the airspace conditions in this area will likely become even more severe in the next few hours."
The helmsman responded.
"It's alright! Do as you see fit! As long as we can reach the Second Davao, that's fine. If necessary, we can land in a slightly calmer body of water."
"Yes, Colonel Ming."
After giving some instructions, He Ming stood by the porthole, looking at the dark horizon in the distance.
Such thunder and lightning are not a good omen!
