Cyberpunk: Spartan Walker

Will's throat felt so bitter that he fired his machine gun into the air to vent his grief and anger. The succubus ducked awkwardly. The machine gun can only hit targets within range. Now the Banshee is just a little outside the range of the two Warthogs, and Daisy is driving the tank wildly.

Isaac! he hissed at Isaac-039, who was sitting in the co-pilot of another Warthog troop carrier, I need support here!

He could order Daisy to get the multi-rocket launcher, but if Daisy followed Will's orders, she would have to stop the car. Once the troop carriers stop, they become easy targets for Banshee and Revenant mortars.

Will glanced towards the front of the car. The canyon was still some distance away from them. Although it didn't take long to pass, it was enough for the Covenant to blow them into a pulp.

Isaac, do something!

Will fired his machine gun again, his fingers numb. But it was no use, the Banshee flew too high and too fast.

Another beam of plasma hit the grass directly in front of the warthog, and heat surged in. Will's Thunder Hammer armor finally couldn't withstand the torment, and the energy shield crackled overloaded.

He roared and still insisted on shooting, but one of the elite pilots piloted the Banshee around his range and made a standard strafing dive towards them. Several of its plasma cannons were heating up and the energy was crackling. The sound indicates that it is about to be launched.

At this moment, the Revenant mortar on the opposite side suddenly misfired, and the head of the plasma machine gunner in front suddenly exploded, and the bloody body tissue splashed all over the vehicle.

The pilot in the Banshee fighter also splattered with blood, then leaned forward, and the throttle lever was pulled to the maximum gear. The Banshee came hurtling at full speed - crashing into the sheer wall next to Will and stumbling to the ground.

Judging from the blood splattered by the enemy pilot, the UNSC sniper successfully fired a bullet into the narrow gap in the cockpit, giving the pilot a fatal blow. Will tried to find his bearings. The bullet most likely came from the top of the canyon above and behind.

The trend of the canyon is staggered, and the peaks are one after another. One of them must be the hiding place of the sniper.

Linda? Will murmured to himself, because apart from her, among the Spartans in Phase II, Will could not imagine anyone else with such miraculous marksmanship. But it can't be her, because Linda went to the space station with the Master Chief to perform another mission.

The sound of a sniper rifle seemed to ring in the ears, and another Banshee fighter jet also fell to the ground, and its pilot died in another sniper bullet.

It was only then that the loud bangs of four sniper rifles exploded above Will's head, resounding throughout the sky.

Just as they drove into the canyon with twists and turns, Will opened the communication channel, This is Delta leader William-043, calling UNSC combatants, thank you for your support.

Instead of radioing back, the answer came something else—a new status light on Will's heads-up display lighting up green.

This confirmed Will's suspicion that the other party was a Spartan.

During the next journey, under the cover of the sound of sniper gunfire from time to time overhead, the Delta team successfully got rid of the Covenant pursuers and drove to the entrance of the castle base - a crater where the gatehouse used to be. It is now a secure entrance to an underground military intelligence base.

Will saw a Spartan warrior in Thunder Hammer armor holding a sniper rifle in front of the crater. He first looked to see if there were any pursuers behind them, and then waved to them.

When they stopped Will jumped out of the Warthog and waddled up to him and saluted. Just as the other party returned the greeting, Will carefully looked at the other party's armor, but was confused by the A266 on the other party's helmet - he didn't understand what the A meant, and he didn't remember any Spartan. The siblings are numbered so far down.

The other party reached out to support Will, who was almost unable to stand due to serious injuries, and spoke an unfamiliar name. Spartan Jun-A266, nice to meet you.

A name he had never heard before, and Will was completely confused by it.

William-043, Although he was a little hesitant, Will greeted him as friendly as possible, Have we met somewhere?

Jun chuckled softly, No, we have never met.

The sound of engines from a Covenant aircraft in the sky behind Will interrupted their conversation. He turned around, looking up from the frail bodies of his Spartans until he looked up at the sky. There was too much water vapor in the air, making it difficult to see anything clearly, but there was vague movement overhead: a few vague shadows sliding through the clouds.

The shadow above his head became clear. Three Covenant cruisers broke through the clouds and headed toward the generator set where Delta Team had arrived, their charged plasma cannons flashing.

Oh, no Will was speechless at this time, because the Beta team consisting of a dozen Spartans was guarding the generator unit.

His team communication channel was opened with a bang, and Fred, the leader of the Alpha team, yelled inside: Beta team, retreat! Retreat immediately!

There was a static buzz noise coming from the channel, mixed with two or three overlapping voices. Then he heard the voice of a Spartan - he couldn't identify which one - coming through the static.

Reactor No. 7 has been captured and we are retreating. Maybe Reactor No. 3 can be saved. The speaker stopped and shouted an order to the others: Detonate those explosives immediately!

Then Will heard Fred shouting again on the whole channel: Attention, Pillar of Autumn, the ground reactor is being captured, the orbital cannon is in danger, there is nothing we can do, there are too many enemies, we must use nuclear bombs. Attention , the orbital magnetic acceleration cannon is very likely to be paralyzed. Pillar of Autumn, did you receive it? Please answer!

More voices were blocked in the channel, and Will seemed to hear Lieutenant General Whitcomb's voice, but no matter what order he gave, it was unacceptable. Then there was only static, and then there was no sound on the communication channel.

Will tried to re-establish communications, but interference before the plasma cannon fired made it futile.

The plasma cannons of the cruisers fired together, and the sky was burned red. Heavy explosions were heard again and again in the distance, and a rumbling tremor was felt from the ground to the feet. Will tried to see if anyone was firing back, looking for any sign that the other Spartans were resisting or retreating. Their only hope was to retreat, where enemy fire would tear their position to pieces.
