129 Five mechs ready for battle
"General, the people from the TV station are here!" In the Luoshanji temporary command center, Scott frowned slightly when he heard the assistant's report.
Now half an hour before the monster lands, all the forces in the North American branch were thinking about the tilt of Luoshan Rock. Scott had just issued a deployment when he heard news from someone coming to the TV station.
At this time, Scott was reluctant to let the TV station broadcast the battle live, because Newton was out of control, the previous trap had been scrapped, and the battle was likely to evolve into an unpredictable direction.
In the past, in the face of such unpredictable battles, the Pacific Rim Defense Organization chose not to broadcast live to avoid the failure of the battle causing panic among the public.
But this time, the arrow was on the string and had to be fired.
[Echo Saber] was made into a hero mecha. When monsters invade Luoshanji, it must fight. Monsters invade, there are dangers and opportunities, and dangers and opportunities coexist.
This battle is very important to [Echo Sabre], also to the Eddie Brothers, and equally important to the Pacific Rim Defense Organization.
After all, this is the first battle after the Eddie brothers were made into heroes. They are only allowed to succeed and not fail. They can only use the corpses of monsters to respond to the doubts of some people.
But Scott always had a bad premonition. The source of this premonition was the recent performance of the Eddie brothers. As the war approached, he became increasingly worried about the two brothers.
Because the Eddie brothers have been so proud recently.
Failure is the mother of success, and pride is the mother of failure.
Scott was worried that the Eddie Brothers would make the battle a mess because of their arrogance and pride.
So he nodded to his assistant, "I get it, go call Brother Eddie. The TV station's people should do a simple pre-war interview later. I have some things to explain to them."
"Okay! General."
After the assistant left, he quickly brought the Eddie brothers into the command center.
The two brothers were talking and laughing while walking, without any sense of tension as before the battle.
This made Scott frown again. Not being surprised by honor and disgrace is the characteristic that heroes should have. Why do they learn from the style of media interviews?
"Ahem!" Scott interrupted the two brothers' chat and laughter, stared at them, and said seriously: "Do you know what to say in the TV station's interview later?"
"Don't worry, General Scott, we have prepared the draft."
Seeing the two of them looking at their disregard, Scott was even more worried: "I believe you can have a good performance in front of the audience, but I hope you can have a better performance in front of monsters. Only the performance of fighting with monsters is the foundation for you, not the capital bragging about by the media."
The two brothers tasted it a little and nodded at the same time.
"I know, General Scott."
Although the two agreed happily, Scott still saw in their eyes the disregarded and self-righteous attitude.
Scott knew that it was powerless to do anything just by saying a few words. It was easy to go from frugality to extravagance, and it was even more difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. These two brothers have been corrupted by capital.
Scott waved his hand powerlessly.
"Okay, you guys go down!"
"Yeah! Goodbye! General!"
After the two brothers left, Scott immediately called his assistant.
"We must re-arrange the combat plan, and we cannot let the [Return to God Sword] take the lead."
Luoshanji is a big city with a long coastal line. Scott's previous strategic deployment allowed three fourth-generation mechas to be in front, while three third-generation mechas to support the rear row.
But now...
"Change the Sword of God to the support mecha, and the front row only allows [Sword Athena] and [Dangerous Wanderer] to fight."
The assistant asked in confusion: "What should the public do if they question..."
"If [Dangerous Wanderer] and [Sabre Athena] can kill monsters, then let the TV station explain that the monsters are too weak and do not require heroes to fight. Even if the five mechas cannot kill monsters, it can still be severely damaged. At that time, you can let [Echo Saber] fight, kill them together, and clean up the battlefield."
This is the temporary plan that Scott came up with, because this is the first battle between Eddie and his brothers becoming heroes, and they cannot be lost.
Instead of letting the two brothers escape, it is better to find a bargain in the end. Although they will still be questioned, at least the scene will be more beautiful.
"Okay, general, I'll inform you now!"
.............
US time, at 2:46 pm on February 3rd, there are still 15 minutes before the monster lands.
Six mechas in the North American branch arrived at the battlefield in turn.
"Mazi, this time we are the main fighter mecha, we can't be as careless as last time!" Beckett controlled the [Dangerous Wanderer], and while stepping on the huge waves to the front line, he actually had the intention to instruct his partner Mazi.
I have to say that Beckett's life is really hard. Last battle, his brother died. He was fine. Last battle in Jiangcheng, he fell off the shoulder of a 60-meter mecha, but he still didn't die.
"Okay, Beckett!" Mazi's firm tone had a touch of warmth. In the three months after Beckett fell into the water and recovered from a wound, they changed from colleagues to lovers.
Also walking side by side with [Dangerous Wanderer] is [Saberial Athena].
[Saberio Athena] The bright orange design, combined with the curved figure, under the sun, it is like the arrival of the Greek goddess of sea water, Tarasa.
Following the two mechas are three third-generation mechas, with [Berserker] and [Thor Shield] on both sides, while [Melancholy Romeo] in the center.
The huge steel bodies of the five mechas slashed across the water, like a giant ship passing by, shaking long white splashes of water on the sea.
Wherever the mecha passed, the water was rolling, and the collision of steel and sea water caused a rain screen dozens of meters high on the sea surface.
This rain screen greatly reduces the vision of [Thunder Shield], because the cockpit of [Thunder Shield] is on the belly of the mecha.
It is precisely for this reason that ordinary mechas rarely set the cockpit on the abdomen of the mecha, but there are always a few who like to design it like that.
In just five minutes, the five mechas arrived at the reserved combat position, divided into two rows, and the distance between the two mechas was about 3 kilometers. Looking from a high altitude, the defense line of the five mechas was like the hands stretched out from the earth, holding the entire Luoshanji in the palm of his hand.
As for [Echo Sabre], it has been deliberately forgotten by Scott at the temporary base.
Of course, facing the TV station's questions, Scott explained that [Echo Sabre] is an ace mecha and first needs to protect the safety of the command center.
Under the scattered explanation of the TV host, the audience unswervingly believed it.
Just like in ancient times, the strongest force was not necessarily the pioneer general, but also the escort general who protected the central army's tent.
However, Scott's actions caused some people to question him, believing that this was a sign of fear of death.
Scott may know the result of this explanation, but he doesn't care. As long as he wins this battle, he can get a record of [Echo Sabre], whatever others say.
Anyway, I like it, and some slandering words can't affect his status as a general.
Chapter completed!
