Chapter 86: Breakout from the Isles of Scilly

Chapter 86: Breakout from the Isles of Scilly

After the Paradox Project was launched, the question of where the Paradox Engine should run was actually discussed by the temporary command center.

The London Fortress is now mostly in ruins due to Epsilon's raid. The Destiny Hangar is the only intact building there. Since the assembly workshops and research institutes were destroyed, Sig and his team can no longer continue to improve the Paradox Engine.

Considering that the current Paradox Engine is idle in London, the top management decided to take the initiative and demolish the Epsilon headquarters first.

Considering that Epsilon has all the Topol launchers, the last MIDAS warhead may be in Yuri's hands.

"So we can't go to the European continent, right?"

"That's right, General Norrington. Without the protection of the Gladius Defense System, the Paradox Engine will be hit by MIDAS. We cannot afford this cost."

"General Granger is right. Since the device to counter the MIDAS warhead is not installed on the Paradox Engine, we cannot take the risk." Siegfried added.

"Then let's head towards the Atlantic Ocean. This will not only help us shake off our pursuers, but also allow us to support our troops in North Africa." Finally, Norrington made the decision and ended the meeting.

As the Paradox Engine moved towards the Scilly Isles, the Epsilon troops stationed there also received urgent news that a batch of Purgatory air defense platforms and Arkwell's newly developed mobile defense vehicles had already been stationed there.

At this time, the Paradox Engine had consumed a lot of electricity when it activated the time-stop device in London, so it now had no electricity to activate its weapon system and the hypersonic teleporter.

At this time, Mengzhi and others arrived at the Paradox Engine through hyperspace transmission after receiving the message.

"Commander, the mission briefing has been sent. Your first task is to command a space-time commando team to destroy the air defense forces of the Scilly Isles before the Paradox Engine arrives.

Next, our main force will split into three groups and eliminate the remaining troops here before recharging the Paradox Engine."

The adjutant said as he held up the combat briefing that had just arrived.

"understood."

Mengzhi started to connect the combat terminal after he finished speaking.

Military Operations: Bottleneck

———There is still half an hour until the Paradox Engine reaches the Isles of Scilly.

"So you have troops in the Scilly Isles?"

"I have used the Shenzhou transport boat to send a large number of Purgatory air defense platforms over there, and with the support of the Gatling guns and the fleet we have arranged there, we will be able to defeat the Paradox Engine as soon as it arrives."

"Wait, I remember there weren't many power plants there."

"Those Gatling guns are actually a type of mobile defense vehicle provided by Arkwell's engineers. When unfolded, they can be transformed into defense towers and have their own power generation equipment."

"According to the prisoner and the soldiers who joined our Chrononauts, this kind of equipment is very expensive to produce. It can be said that the current Meng army is one less if one dies."

"Keep your confession to this unlicensed anti-stealth unit, resist the harsher interrogation methods, and let the wild orcs continue to beat him up."

"But seriously, it would be nice if we still had that MIDAS warhead."

"Yes, as long as the aerial battleship leaves the protection range of the Dagger defense system, we can solve it once and for all."

At this time, Mengzhi looked at these soldiers of the Super Time Air Force and began to form a formation for them.

"Commander, we have conducted some reconnaissance here in advance, and now the location of a part of the Purgatory Platform has been marked."

"Good job guys, let's take care of these guys." Mengzhi said while looking at the five small islands marked on the map.

Looking at the area marked on the map, Mengzhi also commanded the troops and began to give orders.

The first thing is to clear out the enemy forces on the island where the Super Time Air Force Corps is located. Due to the terrain, there is only one Purgatory Platform and one Gatling gun on the beach.

"They are history." As beams of neutron light were emitted, the defenders of the island and the piranha submarines had to be teleported away.

Then Mengzhi divided the Super Time Air Force Corps into two teams. After arriving at the southeast island, they began to clear the technological air defense positions and Purgatory platforms here.

"Commander, a rotorcraft pilot has spotted us and will continue to pursue us."

After the adjutant's reminder, a rotorcraft pilot appeared at the commando's initial position and began to rush towards the commando.

"Which unit is that rotorcraft pilot from? Why did he set off without permission?"

"Yuri, I checked the internal communication. It seems that the frustrated Bidarski grabbed the equipment of the rotorcraft and took off directly. The pilot is still on the ground and doesn't understand what happened."

"It's okay, Your Excellency. According to the fuel gauge, this thing can still fly for at least three hours."

"Bidaski is such an idiot..."

"what happened?"

"To be honest, in order to prevent the enemy from easily conducting reverse engineering, Ceris wrote the manuals and instrument panels of the rotorcraft we got in classical Chinese."

"Classical Chinese?" When Samuel said this, he suddenly remembered the pain of learning classical Chinese in the military academy.

"Due to our limited technical staff, we have not yet completed the translation of this thing. We can only let those who can understand it operate it. The fuel gauge that Bidarski mentioned is actually the estimated time when the fuel will run out."

“Perhaps the only good news is that after our training, at least Bidusky can swim.”

While the two were communicating, the two teams successfully cleared out the garrison on the island. Perhaps the only threat was the sudden appearance of the psychic elite.

"Fortunately, the equipment of the Chrononaut Legion has a certain resistance to their weapons." Mengzhi said after getting rid of the psychic elite.

The next step is to go to the southeast island through the surrounding reefs to carry out cleanup work. If you encounter an invading UFO, avoid it. If you encounter a psychic elite, focus your fire on it and eliminate it. If it is out of blood, immediately throw a backtrack.

"Yuri, it looks like they have made new progress in hyperspace technology."

"You're right, heretic. Now the Meng army can actually restore the status of the troops by going back in time."

"But can't we just connect to the troops there?"

"No, there is no long-range radar station there, so if we want to get in touch, we either have to rely on Irkalla or use the Mengjun system directly. But Irkalla has been destroyed, and connecting to the Mengjun system will directly expose us, so..."

"understood."

When facing Bidaski who is chasing the commandos, Mengzhi will specifically send the commandos to islands that are relatively far away. By the time Bidaski arrives, they will have already cleared the Purgatory Platform there and moved on to the next position.

As for the Gatling tanks and Gatling guns that pose a greater threat to the Chrono Air Force Legion, Mengzhi will also use his range advantage and sandbag blocking to solve them without any damage.

However, there was a small incident in the process. Mengzhi pointed out that the commandos destroyed the totem there due to vision problems.

"Commander, we're still at war, can you be serious?"

"I'm not saying anything, Adjutant, it's like trying to find a crow in the dark. I just can't see clearly."

"But it's a blessing in disguise. We can now command the dreadnought."

After the adjutant finished speaking, the elite dreadnought docked at a nearby island came under the command of Commander Meng, with a firepower enhancement and armor enhancement next to it.

But for Mengzhi, the dreadnought was just a gift, what was really important were the two reinforcement boxes.

After seeing the terrifying robot on the southwest island, Mengzhi first asked a soldier from the Chrono Air Force to attract its attention and then let the others enter from the other side of the island.

"Commander, don't we have a dreadnought? Can you please not use such horrible tactics next time..." The Chrono Air Force soldier who was responsible for serving as bait said crying. If Mengzhi hadn't acted quickly, he would have been fed to the spider.

In order to speed up the demolition process, Mengzhi repeatedly sent the Super Time Air Force Regiment soldiers directly to the opposite air defense position and immediately arranged to return.

After the last few Purgatory platforms were wiped out, Yuri said helplessly.

"Well, it looks like our only air defense here are the 'highly technologically advanced' Piranha and Sea Wolf gunboats. Let them cooperate with the Typhoon submarines to set up an ambush."

After confirming that all the Purgatory Platforms were destroyed, there were still five minutes before the Paradox Engine arrived, and the adjutant also marked the locations of several naval docks for Mengzhi.

"Commander, you can act now, or you can wait until the main fleet arrives."

"No need, just destroy it now."

At this time, Mengzhi first divided the commandos into four teams and then asked them to teleport over and immediately destroy the dreadnoughts and Sea Wolf gunboats near the dock.

"Details. He knew the distance was far enough and still used a backtracking function on them. This guy Mengzhi is really good at using backtracking." Samuel said as he watched the commandos quickly clear out the dock.

After the commandos found a medical kit to replenish their health, there were still two minutes before the main force arrived.

"Is that enough time, Commander?"

"Two minutes is enough."

Mengzhi was not wrong. Two minutes later, the commandos really wiped out the naval forces stationed in the dock and its surrounding areas.

At this time, Bidarski, who was driving the rotorcraft, found that the time had reset to zero, and then he fell and hit a tree.

"It looks like this guy has run out of fuel. This stubborn guy, we finally got rid of him." The adjutant sighed after watching it.

In the command center, Bidarski also said in confusion.

"Why did this thing run out of fuel in less than half an hour?"

"Um, Bidarski, actually that time refers to the consumption time in normal cruising mode. If you drive at full speed all the time, the fuel consumption must be very fast."

"But Bidarsky, don't I remember that you can swim?"

"My Lord Bishop, I hit a tree when I crashed."

"........."

After the countdown reached zero, a dozen Harrier fighters appeared in the southeast corner of the map as pioneers.

"No, don't we have satellites? Why not use them to explore the way?"

“No way, Commander. Due to time constraints, the Paradox Engine has not had time to install the Mercury satellite terminal and radar station.

At this time, the Paradox Engine slowly entered the scene under the cover of the Super Thor Gunboat and the Final Thunder Gunboat. There were several fleets following on the water, and there were also several Super Apocalypse Tanks inside.

"That air battleship has arrived. If we just drop MIDAS on this thing, it will be fine."

"Unfortunately, there are no ifs in all this. Also, Yuri, after our commandos captured the London Fortress, we discovered that the thing was called the Paradox Engine, and it is now being used as the airborne headquarters of the Moe Army."

"Is that so... Perhaps the only good news is that the Moe Army is unable to produce a second one."

When they discovered that there were more defenders here than expected, the Meng army decided to change the plan and let the Paradox Engine charge while flying. After leaving here and entering a safe area, they would stop the ship and charge the battery at full power.

“Commander, the other two fleets will be commanded by Commanders Orlando and Norrington. You need to command the central fleet to cooperate with them to protect the safety of the Paradox Engine.

In addition, the Final Thunder Gunship and Super Apocalypse Tank will also be under your command."

"I understand. This is a good opportunity for me to experience their power."

After obtaining these powerful weapons, Mengzhi also commanded them to quickly eliminate the enemies along the way.

Although Yuri also arranged an ambush to try to intercept Paradox, their troops simply disappeared like snowflakes when facing the Final Thunder gunboat.

After the Paradox Engine left the battlefield, the Cute Army immediately launched a time stop to eliminate the remaining troops here.

After the last Sea Wolf gunboat was sent into the sea by the Super Apocalypse Tank, the familiar words "Mission Accomplished" appeared on the combat terminal.

"It's finally done. Maybe I can take a break now."

After Mengzhi finished speaking, the adjutant came over with a plate and said.

"Commander, I asked General Norrington for some tea and cakes. You can fill your stomach."

"Thanks, Eva."

After seeing the Meng army wipe out the defenders of the Scilly Isles, Yuri said to Samuel.

"Pagan, we have to speed up our actions. The Meng army is expected to launch a surprise attack on North Africa. We have to ensure that the prototype of the research base there can be transferred smoothly."

"I see. By the way, who are the defenders there?"

"They are basically all members of the Scorpio Organization."

…………

In this battle, Mengzhi used these Chrono Air Force Legion soldiers to quickly eliminate most of the air defense forces of the Scilly Isles, which ensured the safety of the Paradox Engine to a great extent.

Although there were some mistakes in the plan, the Paradox Engine successfully broke through the Epsilon blockade, and the Moe Army also used time to stop to eliminate the Epsilon Army and the Puppet Army that came to pursue them.

It can be said that the power of the Paradox Engine is worthy of the efforts and sacrifices of the Mengjun army in recent years.

After this battle, because the Paradox Engine was wandering in the Atlantic Ocean and the Epsilon Army lacked sufficient space-based satellite networks, Yuri was unable to locate the specific location of the Paradox Engine.

After the initiative was transferred to the Moe Army, they first attacked the Epsilon base in Banya. The cloning base and logistics center built by the headquarters guard in Zaragoza were also captured by the Moe Army.

In addition, the Meng Army also successfully took away the Gallic rebels and those dispatched troops fighting on the European continent. These elite troops and those excellent commanders will become the backbone of the Meng Army in the future.

And then it’s the turn of the cute army.
