Starting from the Planetary Governor - Chapter 245

245. Chapter 245, Peace of Mind Comes from My Son

. What does security do?

Prevent assassinations, prevent unrest, protect the master… They may have better training and better equipment than the army, and are more professional in some tasks of protecting important persons. However, when the scene becomes a large-scale war, the difference in specialization level, training methods, and weapons and equipment becomes a weakness.

The security forces lack heavy firepower and anti-armor power. Facing artillery, it is not easy to counter; facing the so-called Kingdom Knights, those sentinel mechas equipped with two Ranger-class Knight Titans, they are even more at a disadvantage.

Their number is far less than that of the opposite side. Under the impact of the opponent’s huge cannon fodder soldiers, they have to resist the bombardment of artillery, and suffer the key assault led by the Knight Titan and many sentinel mechas. The defense line of Gu’s security is constantly compressed and broken.

The situation soon became precarious.

At this time, Wang Qi made another decision that she regretted afterwards and might be a wrong decision: to stick to the spot.

She hoped to wait until the rescue of the Angry Owl Star Army in the town outside the city; in addition, they also contacted the Chamber of Commerce fleet in the sky to provide orbital support and send landing spacecraft to pick up people from the air.

But soon, bad news from all sides came one after another.

The Angry Owl Star Army in the suburban town was also attacked and is currently fighting fiercely;

there was a rebellion on the Chamber of Commerce fleet in the space around the planet. Among the eight Chamber of Commerce fleets controlled by Wang Qi, each had a small or large turmoil in the fleet. The four fleets directly under her control were okay, but the other four fleets that were allies had bigger problems.

In addition, the four armed merchant fleets controlled by Gu Ming were also threatening them, making it impossible for them to occupy the orbit of the planet.

What’s more worth mentioning is that the Black Arrow Star is not a place without air defense capabilities. It may be a big problem to go elsewhere, but in the city of Pinsel where the war broke out, there is an orbital air defense system imported by the Kingdom of Luman at a high price.

Unable to occupy orbit and conduct accurate orbital strikes; even if the several spacecrafts forcibly sent out passed the interference and hijacking of Gu Ming’s ships, they would be locked by the orbital air defense system of Pinsel City in the process of entering the atmosphere, and then destroyed in mid-air.

Reinforcements could not arrive, and air evacuation could not be achieved. The Knights of the Kingdom of Luman were advancing triumphantly, and the defense line was broken into pieces… At this time, Wang Qi realized that it was impossible to defend to the death, and she had to break through.

However, it was a little late to prepare for the breakout at this time.

Even when the decision to break out was made, the three sentinel mechas, as pioneers, blasted open the door and rushed into the banquet hall!

Everything became extremely chaotic.

The three sentinel mechas were eventually killed. Wang Qi was not very clear about how they were killed. She just remembered that when she turned her head and ran away with her bodyguards, she saw three wreckages.

But the breakout process was still not smooth sailing. They were intercepted and attacked many times, and her bodyguards died one by one. When she was almost at the end of her rope and had to launch the last means of saving her life, Lakrosa, who had fought his way out of the siege, arrived with dozens of special forces soldiers.

The 10th Special Operations Brigade deployed about 500 people to join the expeditionary force. The main force among them, together with the legion, are in the small town outside the city of Pinsel. Only the fifty most elite among them, led by Lakrosa, formed a team and entered Wang Qi’s close security team.

But from beginning to end, their role was not important. They existed more as a communication channel between the security force and the main force of the Angry Owl Star in the suburbs. In essence, they are “outsiders” and are not of the same type as the security team. On the one hand, they are not subordinate to each other, and they feel a little excluded; on the other hand, Lakrosa and other special warfare elites are essentially soldiers and soldiers, and protecting important people is not their specialty.

But now, it is a war.

This is within their professional scope.

Lakrosa led his men to eliminate the enemy troops that were entangled with Wang Qi, and then continued to protect her and headed out of the city.

During this process, the number of enemies was always not small.

They sacrificed one comrade after another, and had to overcome difficulties by dividing their forces to attract the enemy’s attention again and again.

Until now, Lakrosa has brought her to the edge of the city. They rested in an empty alley and argued a few words. Wang Qi herself was not safe yet, but she was still thinking about how to save the lords of the Chamber of Commerce Fleet who were now unknown whether they were alive or dead.

As a result, not only did Lakrosa completely reject her request, but they also ran into trouble again.

Appearing outside the alley was a “Kingdom Knight”, a sentinel mecha.

Wang Qi was ready to assist at any time.

In her opinion, this young man named Lakrosa, although he was outstanding in skills, was now alone. How could he deal with a steel machine?

Not to mention, there were seven fully armed soldiers around this sentinel mecha.

They had also encountered sentinel mechas during their previous breakouts and escapes. But when they encountered such situations, they usually avoided them if they could; if they could not avoid them, they would usually split up and let another team attract the target away before evacuating.

They had always been very cautious and had never tried to confront the sentinel mechas head-on.

But now, there was no escape.

Wang Qi was also ready to use the last means of life-saving, and used the psychic flintlock rifle in her hand, which had only four chances to be used, to help Lacrosse fight.

However, this young soldier from the Angry Owl Star, who had just claimed to her that he would only save her life and not obey her orders, used a series of performances to make her dumbfounded.

His figure showed extreme agility even in an alley.

A sentinel mecha used a double-barreled machine gun to rapidly fire in a narrow alley. What a desperate scene it would be?

But Lacrosse just dodged it all.

He could be called flying over the eaves and walls, stepping on the wall and running more than two meters high.

The Kingdom Knight chased him and shot, the bullets followed his heels, but none of them hit him. Even if the Kingdom Knight changed his method and planned to predict and block all possible routes of Lacrosse with a high rate of fire, he would be dodged in another incredible way.

Of course, Lacrosse was not dodging bullets, but essentially predicting and dodging before the machine gun came.

Moreover, no matter how exaggerated his physical fitness and reaction speed were, he couldn’t really hide like this. But only two or three seconds was enough.

During this process, the grenade launcher in Lacrosse’s hand also fired a string of bullets, accurately killing all the accompanying soldiers around the sentinel mecha, and at the same time hitting the observation sight of the sentinel mecha.

Only ten or so rounds of explosive bombs were fired, but he did it all with extremely accurate shooting skills while Snake Skin was moving.

Even to kill the seven accompanying attendants, he didn’t need seven bullets. Using the micro-explosion characteristics of the explosive bombs, four bullets were enough; the remaining ten bullets all hit the observation sight of the sentinel mecha.

The sight structure of the sentinel mecha was still strong enough, but it couldn’t withstand ten rounds of accurate bursts.

The part of its head similar to the human eye was blown to pieces.

Suddenly, the attack of the Sentinel mecha became chaotic and unrestrained – the Kingdom Knight inside could not see the situation outside.

Now, the operator inside pulled the lever and fell into a very embarrassing situation.

He could lift up the visor of the Sentinel mecha. Although it integrated a considerable part of the auxiliary system functions and observation functions, since it had been accurately detonated, it must be abandoned. Afterwards, he could also fight with his own n*ked eyes.

But… he didn’t dare.

In the previous battle, he had personally experienced that the enemy he was facing had almost completely accurate shooting skills. He had never seen such a thing in his life, and it was not just a sharpshooter. He

was afraid that if the helmet was lifted up, his own forehead would be hit by a bullet.

That would be the same fate as the people next to him who just fell down in two seconds.

However, he soon didn’t have to think about this problem.

A moment later, a very burning feeling passed through his chest.

In the ultra-narrow cockpit of the Sentinel mecha, the Kingdom Knight couldn’t even lower his head to see his injuries. But he could feel that his heart and left lung had been completely burned through.

…

Watching the Sentinel Mech fall, Lacroxia confirmed that it had completely lost its combat capability.

He put the fully charged plasma pistol back into the gun bag on his leg, turned around and found Wang Qi again.

The shock on Wang Qi’s face has not dissipated yet: “You… do all the soldiers under your governor have the strength like you?”

“Uh…” Lacrosse actually thought about it, and then said very seriously: “Not really.”

“I thought too much, how could there be so many soldiers like you? However, since you have the ability to destroy a sentinel mecha, why didn’t you use it before?”

“Because of the risk.” Lacrosse said, “Just now, if I had made a mistake, I would have been the one to die. I don’t mind life and death so much, but if I die, the task of protecting you will not be completed. So, unless it’s a last resort like just now, I don’t want to take risks.”

“So that’s the case… It’s a pity for those soldiers who were divided to attract the enemy’s attention.”

“It’s nothing to pity, this is their mission.” Lacrosse said, then he thought about it, and added, “And don’t act like they have sacrificed. They are all the most elite soldiers and it’s not so easy to die. Along the way, I have left them our special marks. If they see it, they will follow us all the way.”

“I hope so.”

Although Wang Qi said this, he didn’t actually hold much hope.

Lakrosa didn’t say much, just urged to hurry up and get on the road.

A battle just broke out here, it’s not safe anymore.

And a few dozen minutes later, a scene that surprised Wang Qi happened.

Lakrosa not only took him almost out of the city of Pinsel, but also, as he said, his comrades really found him.

There were a total of fifty people, and there were still forty-two when they returned to the team. Although they looked a little embarrassed, they were able to perform the task of attracting the enemy’s attention and get rid of it. After that, they only lost eight people all the way here, and according to the intelligence exchange between them, they killed at least two hundred enemy soldiers along the way.

This was a very exaggerated performance, and Wang Qi was a little numb.

She originally thought that warriors like Lakrosa were unique. But unexpectedly, these comrades of his, although not so powerful, were also so strong.

——How could they not be strong? The soldiers that Lakrosa picked out and brought to her were all the most elite soldiers of the 10th Brigade. This means that these soldiers are all T2-level warriors trained by Gu Hang in the soldier card system. They were eliminated only after reaching the last stage in the process of selecting new blood for the Space Marines. Each of them spent eleven points of Gu Hang’s gift. And not everyone has the potential to be trained to this level.

In comparison, the security forces around Wang Qi, who were hired at high prices and focused on cultivating loyalty, are not so good. None of them betrayed, but they were almost wiped out.

At this point, Wang Qi had no other ideas. He just followed Lakrosa and others and continued to break out.

On the way, they contacted the headquarters of the Alliance Expeditionary Force again and learned that a support force was on the way.

It took some time for them to finally connect with that force.

It was a team of the 38th Mechanized Brigade.

All 18 Lion tanks of the brigade were pulled out, with more than 100 infantry fighting vehicles and more than 2,000 mechanized or motorized infantry, racing all the way.

After the two sides reunited, Wang Qi was protected by the army, and she finally put her heart back into her stomach.

But then, she had a rather strange feeling: looking around, everyone was unfamiliar.

She didn’t even know the people around her.

None of these people were her subordinates. She would try her best to meet her needs, but in fact, no one would obey her orders directly.

These were the assets accumulated by her useless son who she used to hate, and now, if she wanted to survive on this alien land, she had to rely on these people.

However, in addition to this feeling of “uncomfortable”, she also felt an inexplicable sense of security.

This sense of security came from super soldiers like Lacroxia; from the outstanding individual strength of the special forces; from steel monsters such as the Lion tank and the infantry fighting vehicle cluster…

from her son.
