Chapter 331: Protecting the Statue of Liberty vs. Blowing Up the Statue of Liberty
Strong explosions echoed one after another in the center of New York City. The rebels' airstrikes and bombings caused the Blood Armor Squad and the Chosen Squad, who had just arrived and were still on the shuttle, to show different states.
Yes, the Blood Armor and Chosen teams were forcibly recalled by the Earth Federation and were immediately deployed to the front lines of the battle.
The two countries' arms race was actually similar in terms of strength, and the performance of their space shuttles was almost the same, so when the Earth Federation contacted the Blood Armor Team, even if they set off immediately, it would take 6 hours for them to return to Earth and arrive in New York.
It is obvious that neither country has mastered any space-folding technology.
However, because Azriel has adjusted his tactical strategy, the number of casualties in ordinary civilian areas of New York City has dropped sharply in the past few hours. Instead, various military-related buildings and facilities have been targeted, seawater has flooded back, and many areas have become flooded swamps.
"Why did we have to come all this way back to fight? Six hours, my friend! Six hours!"
Tiger, an outspoken and outspoken extreme player, complained in the communication channel.
Of course, he still had to be restrained for the time being. He hadn't said that six hours of full-scale invasion was enough for several deaths in the city.
"Because of that worthless treaty, most of the old machines on the Earth Federation side have been scrapped and sealed.
Currently, the most elite second- and third-generation aircraft in the entire Federation are only possessed by our 81st Squad and your 82nd Squad, so it is our responsibility to provide immediate support to every most dangerous war zone."
Captain Glenn of Goulding answered calmly.
The reason why his emotions are so stable is, on the one hand, because Glenn is a veteran and has long learned in the war to suppress his emotional fluctuations as much as possible so that he can better protect himself and his team members.
On the other hand…he's Canadian.
The Earth Federation obviously hasn't been able to make Glenn love America as much as he loves Canada. If it was Toronto that was invaded, Glenn would probably have exploded with emotion, but it was the Twister that was bombed, so Glenn's emotions were somewhat less so... Everyone should understand the reason.
Oh, by the way, Glenn is actually most afraid of Las Vegas being invaded rather than Toronto.
This burly veteran is a heavy gambler. No matter which city he is in, he will habitually go to the casino first. According to other teammates, "he is beyond help."
After hearing Glenn's explanation, the tiger smacked his lips and remained silent.
Although the others had found out some things before, hearing the exact answer from Glenn explained why the two elite teams were being used like universal screwdrivers.
Xiaolan, whose car was taken away by Cheng Tian in front of her and who was forced to replace it with a first-generation Gates, sighed instinctively and had actually started to back down in her heart.
But Jeff, the American "native" in both teams, looked like a volcano about to erupt.
As for the target of venting his anger, it was naturally Leia's rebels.
However, just as the rebel airstrike stopped, a new rumble attracted the attention of the two teams.
As I looked over, the Twin Towers, which represented New York and even one of the symbols of the American spirit, were slowly tilting down and crashing down resolutely towards the deformed streets that had collapsed and were flooded!
Perhaps because there was a lot of sea water acting as a buffer, the collapsed twin towers absorbed a lot of kinetic energy, and the large amount of dust and debris that should have been stirred up was also neutralized by the sea water. However, the collapse of the twin towers has become a fact.
Unlike most of the others who were filled with mixed emotions such as surprise, anger, and fear, Jeff, as a local, was finally relieved.
However, there was one person in the crowd whose eyes lit up slightly, and he used strong muscle control to prevent himself from smiling.
The scene of the collapse of the Twin Towers obviously made Irene think of Mr. Cheng at the first time.
Many people may have had similar ideas about demolishing the Twin Towers, but the only one who thought of it, deliberately took the time to put it into action in the copy, and had the ability to complete it at that time was Cheng Tian, a weirdo.
Although Irene herself also gained 1 point of legend because of this, the hatred value she and Cheng Tian suffered in this regard was completely different. In other words, under the attraction of Cheng Tian's sky-high American hatred, no one noticed Irene's small hatred value at all, otherwise she would not have been assigned to the Earth Federation in this main storyline.
Witnessing the collapse of the second pair of twin towers once again made Irene think of another possibility.
That is, if the person who demolished the tower was still Cheng Tian, then he would most likely demolish the Statue of Liberty as well, just like what he did in the Dino Crisis world.
As expected, the news of the collapse of the Twin Towers was immediately spread across all existing communication channels. Whether it was the civilians hiding in underground air defense facilities or the senior officials sitting in the clouds, they all looked as if they had lost their parents.
These senior officials who deliberately let the rebels in could not believe that Azrael dared to break the contract and attack the Twin Towers!
But while they were angry, the top executives immediately thought of another possibility.
If the rebels' goal is to destroy the symbol of New York, doesn't that mean the Statue of Liberty, also a symbol, will inevitably be the rebels' next target?!
Thinking of this, the senior management immediately contacted the Blood Armor Squad and the Chosen Squad and issued them a new second phase mainline mission -
Protect the Statue of Liberty!
Now with the local United Army's Third Division to contain the rebels, they will be suppressed outside the target front line, but this cannot prevent the other side from sending a special team to destroy the goddess statue.
We have already lost a symbol of balance, we cannot lose the symbol of freedom!
The Blood Armor Team responded immediately, and the Chosen Team followed suit decisively, and were ready to clash with the opposing team.
Based on past dungeon experience and the rules of faction confrontation, this type of mission usually involves one side guarding and the other destroying, and there is a high probability that the player teams of both sides will run into each other.
And now, it's a race against time.
Just as the Blood Armor and Chosen teams were rushing to the Freedom Island where the goddess statue was located at the fastest speed, an orange octopus-shaped mecha climbed out of the water using all six legs, aiming directly at the goddess statue!
Rey's machine fired a charged laser cannon, but before it hit the octopus, it was blocked by a familiar regular hexagonal barrier.
Now both teams knew that this octopus was probably an "old acquaintance"!
But at this moment, the heroic voice of "Burns", the exclusive mechanic of the Blood Armor team, came from the communicator of the Blood Armor and the Chosen Team.
"Hey! Your combined weapons have arrived! Remember to sign for them!"
