Chapter 84: New Force Arkwell Appears
When Mengzhi went to Cairo to dismantle the mind control amplifier, and the commandos commanded by Samuel had not yet arrived at the London Fortress, a special commando team had already arrived at Mildenhall Air Force Base near London, which is also an important control center of the Dagger defense system.
"Brother, we left the NOD Brotherhood after receiving the leader's order and have been lurking until this moment. We will use helping Epsilon raid the London Fortress as our token of loyalty."
The commander of Arkville was named Lopez. He was originally an excellent military cadet, but because of his identity, those cute military students who disliked him would pick on him every day.
Sometimes they would beat him up on purpose after school. Even if he reported the case to the police later, those good-for-nothings in the puppet government would just ask them to apologize and pay compensation.
And on that day, Lopez encountered the most important turning point in his life.
That day, Lopez was preparing to go home after school, but when he got home he was arrested by some police officers on the grounds of secretly sheltering the rebels.
When Lopez was sent to prison, he found that his parents and sister were all there. The guard told him the bad news in a very calm manner.
"I'm sorry, but you may be publicly executed tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."
"What? But we..."
"I know what you want to say. You didn't do anything, right? But recently the resistance forces have been beating up the Moe Army. So the puppets will drag people like you out to serve as..."
"Hey, William, what are you doing here? Go away."
"Okay bro. Sorry kid, I can't help you."
The prison guard left in a hurry after he finished speaking. Lopez fell into despair after hearing this, and he also developed a huge hatred for the Meng Army.
As the Lopez family was preparing to have their last dinner, an explosion suddenly sounded and a commando team of the NOD Brotherhood launched an attack on the prison.
When an armed team rescued them, Lopez asked the leading captain.
"Can I join you?"
"Of course, we welcome every soldier who is willing to resist the tyranny of the Meng Army to join us. However, considering your status as a military cadet, we will give you some training. Do you agree to this?"
"I am willing."
"Deal, then you come with us, and we will take good care of your family."
Lopez also returned to the base in a Liquidator. After some training, he led his troops and successfully participated in the battle to overthrow the Eagle Army colony.
It can be said that Lopez is now an excellent commander who is extremely loyal to his leader. The captain who brought him in said with emotion: "Lopez's ability and loyalty are beyond doubt. It can be said that he is willing to sacrifice himself for his leader even if he holds explosives."
"Commander, Commander, stop being in a daze, it's time for us to act."
"Understood, Adjutant. So what is the goal of our operation this time?"
"One is to raid this air base to attract the attention of most of the Moe Army, and the other is to command our special Kamaz to carry out a decapitation operation."
"Understood." Lopez said and opened the combat terminal.
————Combat Control System Connected————
[Military Action: The Warlords]
After connecting to the combat terminal, several rocket soldiers and an engineer came to the outskirts of the air force base.
"Fire."
After the rocket soldiers blew a hole in the wall, the engineers immediately went in and occupied the nearby communication center to prevent the defenders from sending distress signals.
"Well done Commander, we have cut off their communications, but their reinforcements will arrive in half an hour. Hurry."
"Understood, Adjutant."
At this time, a group of heavy transport planes of the NOD Brotherhood began to continuously airdrop believers and berserkers.
"Commander, the Followers are our warriors equipped with simplified Black Hand equipment (note: they are not immune to flame weapons), while the Berserkers will use handheld howitzers to make enemy vehicles and drivers bow down at their feet."
"I see. This batch of reinforcements arrived just in time."
Then Lopez deployed enough troops from transport planes and commanded them to start the demolition work.
"Where did these guys come from?"
"Don't worry, we're safe in the house."
However, these cute soldiers hiding in civilian houses will soon regret their decision, because the believer squad can eliminate the garrison in the house, and the knight tanks and archon armored vehicles that come to support will also be destroyed by the berserkers.
Since the Meng army would never expect that the enemy would launch a surprise attack in their heartland, they only have a small number of defense towers and production buildings in this base, and there are no MCVs, only barracks and heavy industry.
In addition, the communications here have been cut off by the engineers arranged by Lopez, so when the commandos destroyed most of the power plants, those prism towers and GDI machine gun towers were turned into telephone poles.
"This commander really doesn't know how to set up a base. There are no troops defending the vicinity of the power plant." At this time, the commandos had already blown up all the Mengjun buildings into ruins.
"After all, no one would expect us to raid from their heartland. Okay, brother, destroy this control center to attract those guys here."
After the Dagger Control Center was destroyed, the commander stationed at the London Fortress immediately arranged a large force to rush to the air force base to repair the control center, but Lopez's troops had already evacuated.
————Three hours later————
"Adjutant, is our special Kamaz in place?"
"Don't worry Commander, I've already talked to the Mengjun intelligence officer, she will arrange the identity."
"That's good. With the help of the intelligence officer, this mission will be easier."
While the two were talking, an unmanned heavy-duty Kamaz followed a convoy carrying supplies into the city of London.
At this time, a large number of troops were rushing towards the air force base. Among them, Lopez also noticed the figures of Hades, Abrams, and Basalt Battle Fortress, and there were quite a few of them.
"With so many military movements, it seems like they have all been attracted there."
"This also buys us an opportunity to carry out our activities. Commander, please pay attention. We have to be careful of those Chrononauts and Charon Tanks."
"Got it. They don't usually come to check the transport trucks."
And just as Lopez said, these transport vehicles will basically not be stopped on the road. This Kamaz arrived at its destination right under the noses of the Charon tanks and the Chrono Legion soldiers.
"Let's use these high-ranking politicians to announce the birth of our Arkville."
After Lopez finished speaking, he pressed the detonation button, and the Kamaz suddenly exploded.
As a red mushroom cloud rose, a large amount of poisonous gas began to spread around the Congress.
———Ten minutes later——
After the poison gas dissipated, the rescue team of the Meng army entered. According to the autopsy report and the statements of the survivors, in addition to some of the victims being killed by the poison gas, some others died in sudden attacks by friendly forces.
After these two attacks, the surviving politicians began to ask the troops to protect them, and the Meng army had to strengthen the defense of the edge areas of the city.
This also left the defenses of the London fortress even more empty, which created conditions for the raid launched by Samuel later.
