Chapter 41 The limelight is on the rise

4692 October 21, Matargrad, the fifth surface defense line, temple

"Don't have insomnia? Come on, the last two cans." Bai Yu walked to Anita in front of the steps, and sat down next to her.

"I never suffer from insomnia, I just breathe the wind, can't you sleep?" Anita put the gun in her arms aside and took the drink handed over by Bai Yu.

"Haha, why is it? It's just that my stomach is a little uncomfortable." Bai Yu looked up at the huge satellites in the sky and the stars in the sky.

"Just let's give the food you brought to the child, but you still have the canned food you don't eat. I have to exchange the ratio with that herdsman. It's really impressed you. We don't care, how can you stand it." Anita got angry when she heard that she was feeling uncomfortable in her stomach. Today, Bai Yu took the ration she had just received for 3 days and exchanged it with a herdsman who was about to enter the temple to take refuge. She exchanged about 6 kilograms of sand wheat granules.

"That herderer has two children, don't you see it? How can you eat enough? And is the emotional core of Ora short-circuited? How to distribute grains? The sand wheat particles are mixed with crushed plant rhizomes. They can't cook for a long time. They finally cooked them until they are cooked. They taste like chopped dead grass." Bai Yu complained.

Anita smiled and said, "Don't blame Ola, this is General Alger's order, and there is such a provision in the wartime regulations of the Republic. The rationing is divided into third-class according to the advantages and disadvantages. Officers and front-line soldiers are the best, second-line soldiers and reserve personnel are the medium, and non-combatants are the lowest. This is also to ensure the needs of combatants. Who has time to cook? By the way, there will definitely be more than half of the straw crushed grains of sand wheat, because that thing was originally used to... feed animals."

Bai Yu's eyes widened: "Feed animals? Those sand camels? Oh my God, this is also considered food?"

"How could it not count! Don't look at its rough taste, but it is rich in nutrients, and the most abundant is this, because those idiots in Emmada will not eat them even if they starve to death, so this is the only food that cannot be destroyed. A long time ago, when it came to disaster or invasion of Emmada, the sand maize particles saved many lives, but now few people will eat this kind of food. I heard that Pador has a restaurant called "Ancient Memories" that also serves this kind of food. Oh, by the way, during the Patriotic War, these sand maize particles were not eaten. Non-combatants, each person could only get 150 grams of cold and hard bread or biscuits a day. As a result, at the end of the war, 200 million people starved to death." Evelyn explained.

Bai Yu took a sip of Kufei and said, "Fortunately, there is this, I don't care. At least the two children don't have to eat this thing anymore. Speaking of which, it's so cold here at night."

"Yes, this is the desert climate. It's so hot during the day, but it's the opposite at night. But it's very comfortable if you calculate the average temperature." Anita smiled and said, "I don't think you're afraid of heat?"

"It's not true." Bai Yu pulled open the collar and exposed the inside of the clothes: "This dress has an internal air conditioning device, so it doesn't feel obvious."

"Wow, that's really good." Anita put her hand into Baiyu's clothes in a prank.

"Ah! Your hands are so cold." Bai Yu screamed and jumped up and ran around to avoid it.

Anita smiled and chased afterwards, suddenly she found Bai Yu was carrying only a projectile submachine gun, and there were three magazines inserted on her belt: "Where is your magnetic track assault rifle?"

"Ah, it's gone, all of them were divided by Ola. Some of them were used by Ola's robotic arms, responsible for harassing the enemy in the city and delaying their propulsion speed. The other part was assigned to combat soldiers. They were responsible for fire support. Even the laser pistol was temporarily lent to Major Oma. The ground communication was interrupted. He is now the general's messenger. It's too troublesome to run around and carry such a heavy rifle." Bai Yu smiled.

"Oh my God, why didn't she leave you one? What should I do if I encounter danger?" Anita asked.

Bai Yu mocked himself: "Why do the general hiding behind want such a good gun? Give it to the warriors in need."

Anita didn't say anything, and the two sat quietly, looking at the quiet city and the cold moonlight.

"The casualties in the second and third stages will be very high." Bai Yu said worriedly.

Anita sighed: "It's already very good. If it were the past, she could only defend the maze of the dungeon to wait for support."

"I really hope the supplies can arrive earlier, maybe our casualties will be very small." Bai Yu looked at the sky and said.

"You have saved many people, how can you win without blood?" Anita comforted.

"The casualties are too great. Ola calculated that even if the progress of each stage is smooth, the casualties are around 50,000, and 80% are the second stage, but no one has a better way."

"Save a person is like saving sentient beings." Anita whispered.

"What?" Bai Yu didn't hear it clearly.

"nothing."

"Let's rest early, it's not a few hours before dawn." Bai Yu said.

Anita nodded, picked up her rifle, and followed Bai Yu into the temple.

"Where are you sleeping?" Anita asked.

"Arge and his friends arranged for me to sleep in the dungeon, but I didn't recognize the road at all. You know that the maze was too difficult to walk, and they removed the signposts, so I'd better sleep in it." Bai Yu pointed to his own container in the center of the hall. Because it was too large to transport it into the dungeon, Ola placed her in the center of the hall. During combat, it could also be used as a large bunker to cover the gravel generated by the impact of the rail gun. After all, the streets of Matargrad are paved with stones.

"Follow me to the temple of 'Ariel Amy Reda', where most of the female soldiers rest." Anita suggested.

"OK."

4692 October 21, Emma Empire, somewhere in the Queen's Palace Group

"Thank you for your help, Her Majesty the Queen."

Queen Sophia looked at the three-dimensional projection in front of her, waved her hand and smiled, "Ola, everyone is so familiar, don't be so polite, and you gave me such a good gift, I thank you for not having time."

Ola smiled softly: "I am also thinking about Bai Yu and myself. If you can take advantage of their empty troops and suddenly launch an attack on the entire territory of Emmada, I believe our pressure will be much less."

"Hmph, I would have disliked them for a long time. If I hadn't said the wrong thing back then and left the Royal Fleet without the commander, I would have destroyed those disgusting Nevadas three hundred years ago." Sophia said a little resentful.

Ola said: "I'm really sorry, you know Bai Yu's various bad tempers very well. She is a person who wants to do whatever she thinks of, and never takes into account other people's good intentions."

"Haha, you are getting more and more able to speak." Sophia smiled and shivered: "Are you sure she is safe now? If you can't hold on, I will immediately let one... no, two royal fleets go to Odatrick to help, but don't worry, I will keep my promise 300 years ago with Bai Yu, and will not get involved in Mimatal's territory, and the fleet will be fully instructed by her."

"Your Majesty is joking. This may awaken her dusty memory. I can't take this risk." Ora said lightly.

"You can't let her lose all your life. If you want, I can even completely obey her orders." Sophia smiled softly and patted her seat armrest and said, "It's not a problem to give it to her."

"You are so generous. My Majesty, you know that she is not interested in your chair." Ora was not shocked by Sophia's words.

"Even if this will make her past wish come true in advance?" Sophia asked.

"Yes, your majesty, everything is her own choice, and I can only obey." Ola said.

Sophia shook her head and said firmly: "Don't forget that as long as you have the chance, I will let her wake up completely."

"I believe, but before that, you can only be Evelyn." Ola said with a smile: "Please don't forget our agreement."

Sophia gritted her silver teeth and looked at Ora quietly, silent.

Ola smiled and said, "Then good night, Her Majesty the Queen."

4692 October 22, Matargrad, Helend Temple, temporary command of the local garrison troops

"How is the situation?" Alger asked.

"General, they have airborne from all directions of the city at the same time, with a total of 16,000 people. Now they have broken through three defense lines outside the city, but they have little casualties and are undergoing renovations. At the same time, all their warships are adjusting their angles and are expected to be ready to carry out a carpet bombardment in the city again." Major Oma's head and right hand were wrapped in bandages, pointing to the electronic map and said.

"It is not cost-effective to withdraw all troops directly into the temple and consume them in the city. The material fleet set sail 14 hours ago and arrived at the latest this evening. At that time, we need enough counterattack power." Ola said.

"But the surface defense lines in the city are useless?" Alger said with a frown.

Ola smiled: "No, let the soldiers hand over the magnetic track assault rifle in their hands to my robotic arm. I can drag them for a while, and the more the line of defense shrinks, the greater the effect."

"Okay, I'll send an order immediately, all troops will withdraw from the surface defense line and enter the temple, leaving only the observation post on the fifth surface defense line." Alger ordered.

Oma immediately turned around and ran out of the temple and sent an order.

"Their propulsion speed is still too fast." Bai Yu said with his lips pursed.

"There is no way. If there are major casualties now, our second phase of counterattack will be very difficult." Ola said.

"But you can't hold it out for too long, and the remaining robotic arms can only be harassing. If the airborne armored soldiers directly advance between the fourth and fifth lines of defense and build a simple defense behind them, the robotic arms will not play a big role." Bai Yu thought for a while and said.

"That's the worst case, but Commander Emmada is all idiots, and he couldn't think of this." General Alger comforted himself.

"No, a matter of time. If your target is right in front of you, and there are harassment nearby that causes sporadic casualties, the easiest way is to advance and directly attack the final target." Bai Yu said, pointing to the defensive circle drawn on the map.

"Now I can only walk around and watch. I will try my best to bring them into the minefield in the house, so that even if they understand, they will not be able to get out for the time being." Ola said.

The rail bombardment began again, and continuous fireballs hit the ground from the sky, and flames and explosions kept rising in the city. The dense and sharp whistling sounded like a scalp was numb, just like someone first scraping crystal quartz cores back and forth over your head with countless blades, and then detonating super-mine explosives in your ears.

"Have all the soldiers retreated?" Alger was disturbed by the huge bombardment and could only yell.

Aola showed a line of words on the three-dimensional projection: "There has been withdrawn, with zero casualties. Except for the last tunnel of the defense line, the others are in the temple hall and several side halls outside. They only bombarded our first four surface defense lines, and the temple and the surrounding 5 kilometers were not attacked."

"Why don't you bombard the temple and the surroundings?" Bai Yu patted General Alger and wrote quickly on the notebook.

'They want to capture us alive to slaughter and have fun. If they are killed by rail cannons now, they will not be able to do what they want.' When Alger wrote the word "全全全", his pen tip suddenly cut through several pages of paper.

Bai Yu lowered her head and thought. After a long time, she gritted her teeth and lifted her pen to write on the paper: "Soldiers are on standby and are not allowed to shoot at will. I will find a way to delay time." Then she patted Alger on the shoulder and walked out of Helende's temple. Bai Yu grabbed a soldier who had just retreated. In his surprised gaze, she tore off Mimatal's national flag from his military sleeve, with the tail of a desert scorpion on it, and then walked into the container in the hall.

After the door of the container was closed, the harsh sound of the rail cannon and the explosion suddenly became much smaller.

"What do you want to do?" Ora asked.

"Since they want to have fun, I will give them this opportunity to warm up my armored combat suit and stick this to my chest." Bai Yu ordered.

"You're crazy." Ora said incredulously.

"No, I am the only one here who has Kronto. Your plan has been arranged. Now you can just buy time." Bai Yu said with his head tilted.

Ola sighed and began to activate her armored combat suit. At this time, Anita ran in and asked as she looked at Bai Yu.

"What are your plans? I'll go with you."

"No, but you can help me." Bai Yu smiled and pointed to the armored combat suit: "It's hard to wear this thing alone."

"You're going to fight them in close combat?" Anita said in disbelief.

"You think I'm stupid? It's just a duel, just delaying time. My armored combat uniform is specially made and it's hard to destroy. Don't worry, this is for you." Bai Yu rolled his eyes, and after saying that, he took off the portable terminal on his arm and handed it to Anita.

"But..." Anita still wanted to stop Bai Yu.

"It's nothing, but the track bombardment is over soon, hurry up." Bai Yu urged.

Ola said angrily: "Let this idiot go, anyway, she has Kronto, and she can't die. Maybe she'll be comfortable drinking Kufei in the bathtub before you win."

Anita stopped talking, buckled Bai Yu's portable terminal on her arm, silently put on Bai Yu's armored combat suit according to Ora's instructions, and finally put on the chest of the armored suit, put the piece of Mimatal's armband on her. Bai Yu moved his limbs, dragged out a slender bag from the corner of the container, carried it onto his shoulders, and walked out of the container. The soldiers resting around were stunned and stood up to look at Bai Yu. Bai Yu opened the bag, took out the Longinus gun accessories made by Lyon forged the Longinus gun on her, and started to assemble it. In order to facilitate portability, Lyon forged the three edges, the knife and gun handle on both sides respectively. As long as it is simply assembled, it can be made into a 3-meter-long Longinus gun. Although the barrel and part of the gun head are hollow, Lyon installed a clever inertial amplification device inside. The power not only did not decrease due to the weight reduction, but increased a lot.

The Mimatal soldiers who saw the Longineus gun were immediately in anger. Some cheered and more people knelt on one knee and bowed to Baiyu.

Bai Yu stared at the soldiers around him blankly and asked Aola: [What's wrong with them?]

Ola smiled cunningly and said: [Perhaps I was shocked by your spirit, okay, the track bombardment has stopped, go, don't embarrass you.]

Bai Yu walked out of the temple with a spear in his arms. The Mimatal soldiers cheered and surrounded her. When the soldiers in the outer defense line of the temple saw it, Bai Yu, who was standing at the top of the stairs, was wearing a white armored combat suit, and holding a silver spear, jumped up from the tunnel cover and cheered, and everyone's expressions seemed to have already won.

Bai Yu looked around and suddenly recalled the words before Captain Ebul's disappearance, held up the Longinus gun and shouted: "Long live Mimatal!"

Ola, who was fanning the flames, broadcasted this sentence to the city's broadcast system.

The crowd became even more excited, and a large number of soldiers began to fire their guns into the sky, "Long live Mimatal!"' roars repeatedly resounded through the sky.

"God, His Highness Helend, the Holy Spear." Anita said with tears in her eyes covering her mouth.

"What era is it? I still learn from the ancient knights to fight." Ora's voice came from the terminal on Anita's arm.

"Who is she?" Anita asked in a trembling voice.

Ola said angrily: "What, a major general of the '25' who was fired by the Federal Navy yesterday, but now it is your Mimatal."

Bai Yu obviously didn't know about the conversation between Ora and Anita. After sneezing in the armored combat suit, he smiled to himself and said, "Hehe, the limelight is getting big..."
