From cannon fodder to sweeping across thousands of stars

Chapter 317 Amber lets go

opened?

Yes, it's open.

The combat assistance of the powered armor has long been taken over by Lilith. Under her guidance, there is no possibility of a light-speed weapon such as a charged particle cannon missing.

So after Amber obtained Lilith, her attitude in battle has always been 'If there is a limit, why don't you fight? ’

The reflexes, spatial awareness, and aiming and locking abilities of a psychic agent are rarely even used.

Although the Quest for Truth Foundation can obtain a tactical nuclear strike HCP, it is impossible to obtain the key to fully control the launch. If this could be obtained, then the Federation should not be called the Federation now.

Because of this, their HCP uses some kind of mechanical detonation device.

Therefore, it is 'very simple' to prevent the nuclear bomb from detonating, just cut off the connection between the tactical nuclear bomb launch box and the body, and this is exactly what Amber is doing now.

In the last few seconds before breaking out of stealth, he found an excellent sideways position. The purple charged particle beam emitted by the charged particle cannon directly irradiated the most critical connection mechanism.

The two-second irradiation time directly cut off this part completely, and the entire launch box fell to the ground with a clang.

Seeing this scene, Amber secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If the Foundation thought about detonating a nuclear bomb again, it would have to send people to rush to the launch box and use the 'one-button detonation' mechanical device that came with the launch box to detonate it.

However, after breaking out of stealth, both Saleh, the puppet master, and the foundation soldiers noticed the existence of this third party.

Although Amber wanted to say, 'You keep fighting, leave me alone and don't use nuclear bombs~', the Foundation obviously didn't think so.

At this time, the puppet master couldn't figure out the origin of this sudden appearance of power armor.

Although he had indeed never seen a similar type of power armor, from the appearance it was clearly made by humans and not in the style of Forerunner creations.

In other words, someone entered the ruins in advance, or just followed their team.

Thinking of the optical stealth ability that the other party had just demonstrated, and the martial virtue of staring at his own 'victim' and accurately knocking out the nuclear bomb launch box, he believed that it was the latter possibility.

"Kill him!"

Facing this uninvited guest, the puppet master gave the attack order without hesitation.

In the Forerunner ruins, except for your own team, all other living creatures are enemies - this is something written in the "Execution Guidelines" of the Quest for Truth Foundation.

Fierce firepower immediately covered Amber's side, and at the same time, several people who looked like armed technicians rushed towards the nuclear bomb launch box.

Under the mind control of the puppet master, they planned to continue detonating the nuclear bomb without any hesitation.

Seeing this scene, the electromagnetic machine gun in Amber's hand and the charged particle cannon on her shoulder irradiated the past, accurately beating the armed technicians into a pile of burnt rotten flesh.

At the same time, the rocket launcher nest on the right shoulder shot out all the laser-guided rockets in the launcher nest like a goddess scattering flowers.

These rockets with plasma warheads, guided by multiple laser beams from the laser pointer on the head of the power armor, covered the Foundation team.

The only HCP squeezed into the sleeping area immediately fired up the close-range defense lasers on both sides of the head monitor to set up a temporary air defense net for the team.

Although some of the rockets were successfully detonated, another part of the rockets that escaped the close-range laser interception fell into the team. The high-temperature plasma fireball generated by the explosion instantly devoured all units within the range.

However, the explosion of the rocket was not the end. Before the high-temperature plasma fireball was completely extinguished, more than a dozen smoke bombs were fired. The smoke that spread quickly from the explosion of the missile covered a large area.

Upon seeing this, the puppet master raised his hand and swept over with a psychic shock that reduced the intensity but increased the range.

When the smoke was blown away, the Foundation soldiers who had just been shrouded in smoke just saw the scene in front of them clearly when they saw a blue-gray powered armor rushing towards them.

"Clang!"

The empty rocket nest was abandoned and fell to the ground.

"Click! Click! Click!"

A three-section folded two-handed sword was taken off and unfolded by Amber, and light blue plasma light lit up along the edge of the blade.

This was the last sight these Foundation soldiers saw.

Amber's power armor showed agility that was completely inconsistent with his size. Whether it was his sprint or sword swing speed, it exceeded the limit that ordinary soldiers could capture.

The surrounding soldiers only saw a series of flashes of blue light, and the companions who were approached by Amber turned into stumps that fell to the ground.

Taking HCP's Heavy Sword as the prototype and using high-temperature plasma restrained by a directed magnetic field as the blade, this 'experimental fighting sword' used in the power armor successfully demonstrated the effect that everyone in the equipment research and development center wanted to see. .

Although the Foundation's soldiers are all equipped with combat exoskeletons and external armor plates, there is not much difference between the rapid slashes of this sword and their naked bodies.

Soon, the puppet master also guessed Amber's combat intentions. He planned to completely destroy the nuclear bomb launch box so that it would not be detonated again in a short time.

Thinking of this, the foundation's field executive stopped playing 'RTS'. He waved his hands and pulled out two psychic lightning bolts, and then rushed towards Amber's position.

"boom!"

Two figures that were almost blurred collided with each other, followed by a series of dazzling attacks.

Both of them activated their psychic shields to attack each other, and the light of the collision between psychic lightning and plasma blades rose and fell, and the collision of psychic shocks also continuously blasted out shock waves visible to the naked eye.

This was the strongest opponent that Amber had encountered in single-soldier combat since he came to this world, and the only one who could keep up with him for such a long time.

It was not that the battle with the puppeteer made Amber feel any pressure, but that he could finally go all out without any scruples and have a hearty psychic duel.

Although the surrounding Foundation soldiers also wanted to support the puppeteer, it was difficult for them to see the two figures clearly at the moment, let alone aim at the target.

Covering the attack was a feasible method, but wouldn't that cover the puppeteer as well?

So at this moment, a strange scene appeared on this battlefield-Amber and the puppeteer fought each other, and the other members of the Foundation and Saleh were "watching".

However, this situation did not last long. Amber, who was fighting with both hands and better equipped, gradually gained the upper hand.

Then he used a set of smooth combos to let the puppeteer see what the "gun and sword duality" in the era of power armor is.

The continuous slashing with a single-handed sword forced the puppeteer to give up the attack, followed by a round of volleys of electromagnetic machine guns and charged particle cannons, plus a psychic shock to the face. The psychic of the foundation finally lost his parry and could only block his hands in front of him with a shield.

When the attack was over, Amber was no longer in the position just now.

In just a few seconds, he had rushed to the position of the tactical nuclear bomb launch box. Or in other words, he had been intentionally guiding the "battlefield" to move here in the previous battle.

When the puppeteer watched Amber easily smash the mechanical control device of the launch box with a two-handed sword, he knew that the idea of ​​using a nuclear bomb to blow up here was miscalculated.

"Sat, take your people away."

Hearing this, Sat Ethan rushed to the gate with his men without thinking.

The remaining Foundation soldiers, under the control of the puppeteer, rushed towards Amber's position.

At the same time, a big hole was finally completely torn open at the door of the low-temperature hibernation area.

The HCP and main battle tanks that were previously blocked at the door now directly crushed the hibernation capsule on the ground and rushed in.

These mechanical units launched an attack on Amber with more fierce firepower, and the puppeteer took this opportunity to "float" to the gate and connected with the communication with the Foundation fleet outside.

"Prepare to receive the personnel evacuated from the ruins. Everyone will immediately detach after boarding the ship.

Recall all patrol fleets and prepare to focus on this ruins!"

As he spoke, Amber, who was covered by firepower, did not choose to resist, but rushed towards Saleh.

This pioneer who had slept for two million years was still not fully awake at this time. It was not until this backward power armor rushed past her that she finally reacted.

"Damn it! This guy wants to use me as a meat shield?!"

As this idea came to mind, the Foundation's attack also covered this area simultaneously.
