Deep into the Desert!
Chapter 1867 Deep into the Desert! (Happy National Day!)
The northern defense line of the floating continent, the forward base of punishment.
After the air and ground forces successfully joined forces, He Ming dispatched several advance troops to support the northern defense line, while also ordering the newly arrived ground transport troops to begin construction of forward bases.
Furthermore, as the forward base was being established, more intelligence from the depths of the floating continent also arrived.
Among them, what He Ming cared about most was the MS that appeared deep in the floating continent and was fighting against the endless BETA.
From a satellite's perspective, within a radius of about one hundred, or even several hundred kilometers, centered on the coordinates of that MS, there are wreckage from the BETA.
Whether large or small, all of them were internalized into piles of corpses flowing with scarlet liquid within this land area of hundreds of square kilometers, equivalent to the size of a megacity.
From the satellite's perspective, what one sees is an extremely horrifying scene.
However, upon seeing this scene, He Ming gradually understood why the defenses on the floating continent had held out.
In addition to being hit by the shockwave of the falling asteroid, they also had this mysterious mobile suit hindering the BETA's attack near the floating continent's defense line.
Ultimately, compared to the immobile fortress defenses, this powerful and highly mobile MS, capable of easily shattering large BETA units such as Assault and Interceptor classes, is more worthy of the BETA mobilizing more forces to suppress it.
He Ming did not inform Li Xingke about the mysterious MS.
Whether from a public or private perspective, this MS has little to do with Li Xingke or the floating continent.
What He Ming needed to figure out was to rendezvous with this mysterious MS as soon as possible and find out from them why such a strange phenomenon as the floating continent had appeared.
Just start doing it once you have an idea.
Before the advance team could return, He Ming immediately began to muster his troops and demanded that the forward positions and the harbor base cooperate to control satellite monitoring of the entire situation and report the information about the mysterious MS to He Ming at any time and place through communication methods such as laser communication.
Not long after, just as Li Xingke was about to ask He Ming what had happened, realizing that the forward base seemed to be sending out another wave of troops, Banshee Gundam stepped onto the flight pedal and led two MS units and the Psycho Gundam out of the forward base.
"So what happened?"
Li Xingke had originally intended to come and thank He Ming specifically about the advance team.
Unexpectedly, He Ming left the forward base first.
"Officer Li, the colonel is currently en route to the BETA-occupied zone on a mission. If you have any matters you wish to discuss with the colonel, please come back later!"
Major Joseph had clearly received instructions from He Ming, and immediately offered an explanation upon seeing Li Xingke come to him.
"Alright then! I won't keep you any longer!"
Although Li Xingke had some doubts, he could only wait for He Ming's return.
Before long, when He Ming's team approached the northern defense line of the floating continent, it immediately attracted the attention of the garrison on the northern defense line.
The advance teams sent by He Ming had miraculously stabilized the northern defense line.
Watching the 18-meter-tall MS charging back and forth on the battle line on its flight ramps, constantly tearing those arrogant assault-class and interceptor-class ships in two with missiles and even beam rifles, everyone on the northern defense line felt that hope was within reach.
Under such circumstances, when they saw an even larger and more numerous formation than the advance team approaching from afar, skimming over the northern front and actively penetrating into the BETA-occupied territory, the entire northern defense line began to boil with excitement.
"My lord. This is an urgent telegram from Lord Li Xingke! He hopes that our army can hold the line and, if necessary, provide maximum support to the Punishment Army that is penetrating deep into the BETA-occupied area!" In the command post of the northern defense line, the urgent telegram from Li Xingke brought everyone into silence.
At first, they thought the Punishment Army was just there to help stabilize the front line, and that was how the advance team that He Ming had sent out before was doing the same thing. But no one expected that after the advance team started its operation, He Ming would personally lead the team deep into the BETA occupied zone.
"Get the brothers ready to provide support! We can't let our distinguished guest fall into danger!"
"Yes! Sir."
As they crossed the northern front, Alice Tina's GM II stood steadily on the flight ramp, closely following the right side of the Psycho Gundam. Her skillful control pleased He Ming.
If it weren't for her obsession with that final test, Alice would have been able to pilot the GM II into battle long ago.
However, it's not a big deal.
It's always a good thing to get more familiar with how to operate the Jim II.
"All units, be on high alert! Maintain uninterrupted laser communication and be prepared for the possibility of a light-level BETA at any time."
The moment the boundless desert filled the field of vision, He Ming's reminder was met with a response from everyone.
From satellite imagery, there are few signs of BETA activity within the area where the northern front has advanced several tens of kilometers.
Even if they did, they were killed by the advance team that had already launched the attack.
Therefore, the only thing to watch out for is the BETA's sneak attacks, as well as assaults from the more distant BETA army groups.
The former is a possibility, but the latter, judging from the satellite images that have been transmitted so far, seems to indicate that the more distant BETA Army Group has not taken the changes on the northern front seriously, but is instead surging towards that mysterious MS like a tide.
Ok!
After confirming the information conveyed by the satellite imagery was accurate, He Ming was almost certain that the exploration mission could be transformed into a rescue mission.
About 200 kilometers away from the MS force led by He Ming, on a sand dune, the mysterious MS was fighting against a densely packed BETA army, so numerous that it was enough to make one's scalp tingle, limbs tremble, and unable to move.
As the mysterious mobile suit swung its fists and feet, twelve streaks of purple light, like wolves responding to their alpha, fearlessly plunged into the dense BETA, bringing with them twelve trails of smoke that continuously burst forth with blood mist—a truly magnificent sight.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, several assault-class BETAs charged up from below the dunes, stepping over countless BETA wreckage, attempting to slip through. However, the motorized horses carrying the mysterious mobile suits reared up and stomped down on the dunes below. An invisible force instantly stirred up layers of air currents within the dunes, condensing the constantly flowing sand into sharp needles, instantly turning the assault-class BETAs into a skewer.
Blood was flowing, and the corpses of otherworldly monsters were piling up.
Under the onslaught of twelve purple beams unleashed by the mysterious MS, the seemingly endless BETA army, filling several square kilometers, was unable to conquer this small sand dune.
Even more remarkably, their remains quickly buried the small sand dune, replacing it with an ever-growing mountain of corpses, and... below, a sea of blood that gradually filled up.
The mysterious MS that had achieved such a terrifying victory suddenly seemed to sense something and looked in a certain direction.
"This feeling? Is it that person? Also, I didn't expect to see an old friend by that person's side. Fate is truly an unpredictable thing!"
Happy National Day everyone!! I have some things to take care of for the next two days, so I might not be able to update on time. I apologize in advance!
Updates will resume normally on the 4th, and there will be a make-up update! Please rest assured!
