Chapter 305 Skyline (1)
With Tanya's team successfully completing the mission, the Meng Army's Supreme Command, no longer having any worries, can also begin operations in North Africa.
According to the intelligence obtained from Siegfried and the Meng Army intelligence agents, before the war begins, the Meng Army's North African Legion will not only plunder the resources here, but also protect the Origin Technology Laboratory in Giza.
The scientists here are researching a special technology that, if used properly, could turn the tide of a war.
However, all this came to an abrupt end with Yuri's mind control over North Africa. Although Yuri has not yet learned the specific location of the research institute, if the cute army does not take action, the laboratory and the data stored in it will be destroyed due to the self-destruction program.
Therefore, Zi Yu’s next task is to command a guard team with MCV to reach the Origin Technology Laboratory and terminate the self-destruction program.
"Commander, according to intelligence, in addition to Yuri's Epsilon, there are also some mind-controlled Moe troops here. Don't show mercy. All we can do is send them to be freed."
"understood."

[Military Operation: Skyline, Location: A and Giza]
The adjutant first marked the specific location of the Origin Technology Laboratory to Zi Yu, which was in the northwest corner of the map, and the initial position of the assault force was in the southeast corner.
"Reinforcements have arrived."
Samuel took a look at the composition of this guard team. In addition to the basic Phantoms, Knights and Maintenance Archons, there were even T3 Paladins and Prisms.
However, what attracted Samuel the most were the two largest tanks in the escort. One of them was the heavy tank developed by the Meng Army at the end of the Mental Omega War - the Massacre Tank. It used the same magnetic energy amplified artillery as the Apocalypse Tank, and its armor was not inferior to the Apocalypse. The only regret was that before the final battle, the few prototypes that were finally produced were smashed by Vidis.
As for the other one, the code name given by Mengjun is—Lion of Freedom, which looks a bit like a Paladin PLUS version.
"Commander, the Slaughter Tanks and Freedom Lions are the most advanced heavy assault units we have. Please make good use of them to break through the Epsilon positions."
At this time, the escort team had arrived outside an Epsilon outpost and easily wiped them out with oil barrels. However, the pagan also received a reminder from his adjutant and arranged an exploration team composed of dune cavalry and wild orcs to test the details of the cute army.
Who would have thought that before those airborne infantrymen even landed, the Light Prism Paladins and the Lions of Liberty wiped them out along with their planes.
"Adjutant, do we have to escort the MCV to the laboratory?"
"Commander, you are right. Only in this way can we use the MCV's equipment to shut down the self-destruct program in the laboratory."
"Then I understand how long we have."
"About fifteen minutes, wait...what are you doing?"
"No big deal. Since Epsilon already knows we're coming, let's make a bigger noise."
Zi Yu acted immediately and commanded the escort team to move westward and found an Epsilon outpost.
For this outpost with complete production facilities, Zi Yu started the demolition operation based on the principle of "since we are already here",
Thanks to the Epsilon logistics department's preference for placing a large number of oil drums around the outpost, the guards quickly completed the demolition work and gave the local Epsilon forces a generous demolition fee.
However, during the demolition work, Zi Yu also noticed some differences, small ones like the Gatling cannon which was only responsible for air defense, and the ground attack was a kind of strangely shaped turret; and big ones like the fact that the Tyrant in the EP base actually had its own blood recovery aura, and the weapon's firing rate and power far exceeded that of the Tyrant in the original world.
"The power of this tyrant should not be underestimated." Zi Yu complained as he looked at the two knight tanks in the escort team that were almost scrapped.
After completing the demolition work, Zi Yu also started to get down to business. The guard team protected the MCV along the highway in Giza City and approached the laboratory.
Of course, the road is definitely not smooth. Basically, you will encounter Epsilon interception troops every two steps, such as a group of recruits and archers jumping out of an abandoned factory; or orcs, Gatling guns and Ops tanks rushing from both sides of the road.
Of course, the threat posed by these vehicles is not very obvious. The only ones that pose a serious threat to the guards are the tyrants hiding in the dark who occasionally jump out, and the pagans will also command them to move in groups of three or five.
Taking into account the Tyrant's extremely strong anti-armor toxin cannon, in order to prevent the leading armored troops from becoming garbage in an instant, Zi Yu could only let the thick-skinned Freedom Lions and Slaughter Tanks take the lead and rear. Although this is a little slower, it is enough to arrive there before the laboratory self-destructs.
When seeing that Zi Yu's guards were about to enter the city, the pagan ordered the puppet troops to slow down the Meng army's pace, and at the same time arranged some plague catapults to give Zi Yu a surprise.
————Two minutes later
Soon Zi Yu encountered the surprise that the pagan had arranged for her. Two plague catapults, in cooperation with the thermal towers and some basic troops, successfully caused damage to the guards. A knight tank was destroyed by the thermal tower in just a few seconds.
In this case, Zi Yu could only annihilate all the enemy troops to avenge his sacrificed subordinates.
"Commander, we have arrived at the Giza Pyramids. Although Epsilon has not yet learned the exact location of the institute, with our arrival, the truth will surely be revealed."
"Got it. We'll give these Epsilon guys a surprise." Zi Yu said as he directed the guards to wipe out a pagan slave mine, along with the surrounding defense towers and patrol teams.
As a result, at this time, an IFV convoy suddenly approached the escort team, and the Freedom Lion fired a shot to successfully attract their attention.
"Commander, this is the Lion of Liberty, we are under attack by some puppet forces."
"Lions of Liberty, open fire immediately to free our companions."
"clear."
Soon, with the cooperation of the Freedom Lion, Slaughter Tank and Paladin Tank, these empty IFVs were quickly wiped out, and their fog missiles only scratched the paint of the Freedom Lion.
After dealing with the IFV convoy, the escort team finally arrived at their destination—the Giza Pyramids. The Origin Technology laboratory was located in the center of the pyramids.
As the MCV unfolded, the adjutant told Zi Yu that it would take another fifteen minutes to analyze the technology here, and during this period no Epsilon enemy must be allowed to approach the laboratory.
"Commander, please be careful. The enemies in Giza will surely charge at us like a tide."
"understood."
