From Titan Corporation to the Empire of Man

Observed from the drone's bird's-eye view, we can see hundreds of extremists pouring out of the factory, hoping to engage in a head-on confrontation with ODST.

The weapons and equipment of this group of extremists completely match the current specifications of the UDF (United Defense Forces). Some elites even match the UDF's special forces.

Several main battle tanks and more than a dozen armored personnel carriers were also deployed near the factory, which was more than ten times the size of Quaritch, Carlos and others.

“Tap-tap-tap!!”

"Da da da!"

At the beginning of the confrontation, both sides started to use guns and artillery.

However, the extremists who should have had the numerical advantage suddenly became the "weak" party after the two sides exchanged fire. The extremists are losing their numbers so fast that they are like dominoes falling one after another.

Even with the help of mechanical skeletons and steel plates welded to key parts, it seems that every ODST is a "sharp shooter" who can accurately shoot through gaps and hit vital points.

Because the accuracy of ODST is indispensable with the modular AMWS firearms, the assisted calibration of the helmet screen, the strength increase of the mechanical skeleton, and ODST himself.

What's more, as Atlas's special forces, every ODST is an experienced veteran, and they can absolutely crush the mixed extremists.

Coupled with the .30cal smart bullets and 20mm high-explosive shotguns used by ODST machine gunners and blasters, extremists have nowhere to hide.

now.

Carlos's fourth combat group is advancing rapidly along with three mechas that look like AMPs but are more "heavy-equipped".

It was Carlos and the others who witnessed the arrest target of this operation, the head of the organization with a beard and wearing a green military uniform.

That guy knew that the second-in-command was under attack and realized that his hiding place was about to be exposed, so he was preparing to be transferred by helicopter.

However, when the leader of the organization saw the bloody scene of the guards being "torn apart" and "torn apart" by the Gauss cannon at close range, he chose to turn around and run away, returning to the factory.

If Carlos and others had received the order to "shoot to death," that guy would have been reduced to a pile of meat, with no chance of escaping.

The mecha using three-barreled 30mm Gauss cannons has a similar appearance to the AMP, but is taller, wider and larger than the AMP.

Height 5.2 meters.

Width 2.5 meters.

Weighs 8 tons.

The full name is "AMP-Assault Support Variant".

AMP-ASV is a variant of the AMP series. It removes the bionic arms and directly installs weapons such as three-barreled 30mm Gauss cannon and 60mm grenade launcher.

As its name suggests, the ASV was originally designed for orbital assault and was responsible for providing armored vehicle-level fire support to ODST.

And Atlas also needs to try its best to avoid being suppressed by enemy armored units due to the lack of "armored units" within the limited space and load conditions.

Therefore, the current general-purpose airdrop pod can accommodate ten ODSTs, two ASV mechas, or three fully armed tyrants.

For example, not long ago, as soon as Carlos and the others completed their landing, they attacked the factory in a formation of two people per team, maintaining a distance of ten meters.

However, the extremists' main battle tanks and armored personnel carriers relied on their armor protection to block Carlos's advance route, and they were also preparing to use 120mm tank guns and 25mm machine guns to counterattack.

The ODST grenadier carrying an anti-tank rocket launcher, combined with two ASV mechas, was the first to deal with the slow-moving "old antique".

The three-barreled 30mm Gauss cannon uses a chain configuration of three uranium needle bullets, one tracer bullet, and one high-explosive bullet for every five rounds, and has a muzzle velocity of 2630 meters per second. It can be described as an absolute "armored nemesis."

It is true that the ASV has powerful firepower output, but its thin defense measures, easy exposure of its own targets, and worrying survivability in open areas all indicate that the ASV is only a "heavy infantry" unit and cannot compete with a real main battle tank. Comparable.

Finally, there is the "heavy-armed" unit that also provides support for ODST, the Tyrant.

Heavy armor, heavy artillery, and giants are the first impressions the extremists have when they see these six tyrants. The visual impact and inner shock caused to the extremists are unmatched by ODST and ASV mechas.

After all, no matter how advanced the ODST's equipment is, it still seems to be in the human category, and the ASV, which is a mecha vehicle, is still within the acceptable range of extremists.

But when faced with a tyrant whose movements, postures and running methods are the same as those of humans, but is four and a half meters tall, the uncanny valley effect of extremists soars.

In addition, partners fell one after another in extremely tragic ways such as "explosion" and "collapse", which brought the extremists' psychological defenses to the point of collapse.

at this time.

The four combat teams cooperated with the ASV mecha and Tyrant, quickly closing the distance between them and the factory.

Immediately afterwards, the third combat group and Carlos' fourth group took the initiative to stay outside the factory and continued to eliminate the remaining extremists.

The four ASV mechas were too large to operate indoors, so they stayed on the outside to assist the third and fourth teams.

However, a Tyrant equipped with new weapons followed the first and second combat teams led by Quaritch into the factory.

...

"Da da!"

"what!"

"Forehead…"

Gunshots and screams echoed inside the factory.

Twenty ODSTs, including Quaritch, used the Tyrant as a mobile bunker and completed control of the factory in less than thirty seconds.

And everyone also found the gate leading to the lower facilities.

"Colonel, it's a blast door."

"I know." Quaritch turned to look at the tyrant with breastplate number 017, and waved his hand: "Hey, kid, use your cannon to blast this door open."

"."

After receiving the order, the driver controlled 017 to walk directly in front of the gate, picked up the small-caliber gun connected to the "bullet chain" and "ammunition box" with his left hand, and pulled the trigger.

Ri~——咻——!

Following a short burst of charging sound, the small-caliber cannon fired a high-energy cannon that emitted a dazzling blue light.

boom!

The moment the artillery regiment hit the gate, it "exploded" like water droplets hitting a hard object and splashed around.

Boo!

However, the extremely high-temperature artillery regiment successfully melted through the gate, and continued to expand the melting range, creating a gap with a diameter of two meters.

Seeing this scene, Quaritch waved his hand again: "Go and catch that guy. Remember, your actions should be clean and tidy to facilitate editing by colleagues in the public relations department."

"Yes."

Sixteen ODSTs, working in teams of two, passed through the gap one after another and entered the hiding facility below the factory.

As for the small-caliber cannon held by Tyrant 017, it is actually a plasma cannon, and its technology source comes from United Airlines (UAC).

The working principle is to instantly heat the ionized particles in the air to a high enough temperature to form plasma, and then release explosive energy.
