"Can your broken instrument be repaired?”The officer lowered his head and asked the Mechanic. The pirates in front of them were shooting at them with blasters.
The red pillar of light hit the items in the camp from time to time, causing considerable damage.
" I can do short-range communication. I just need to get close to our communication device here," the Mechanic replied as he connected the line." If you want, I can do it now..."
Before he finished speaking, a laser beam hit the toolbox in front of him.
"Hurry up and connect it. It's best if you can contact the base.”The officer threw him a radio communication device and left to stop the pirates.
" It's like this every time…" The Mechanic could not help but complain as he watched the squad officer leave quickly and rush into the battlefield.
After a while, he crawled to the ground and picked up the communication device. He skillfully disassembled it and pulled out the wires from the communicator to connect them one by one.
"Hey! Can you hear me?" The Mechanic spoke into the walkie-talkie, but for the first time, he received no response.
At this moment, there was indeed a faint wireless signal on the communicator of Nosa's group's turbine tank.
"What noise?" Andrew said nonchalantly from the driver's seat. However, he didn't dare to switch off the communicator like Wang Zhi.
"Hey! This was the Betty! We were attacked by pirates!" The Mechanic adjusted his equipment once again. The props and equipment on hand were limited. He felt that it would be difficult to contact people 20 kilometers away in this swamp. Moreover, they did not know where they had fallen to.
"I can hear you! Are you survivors of the Betty?”Nosa took Andrew's headset and replied to the person who sent the distress signal.
"Any reply?" Andrew asked Nosa. If they could bring them to the base, at least a portion of the troops would be replenished.
The Mechanic on the other end was so excited that he forgot to reply immediately. After a long while, he said to Nosa and the others,"Yes, yes, we need backup! There were many pirates here. Our military equipment here is not complete. At least half of our people do not have weapons.”
" They were attacked by pirates, and those pirates are also interested in Betty..." Nosa said to Andrew.
"We have to report to the base immediately and ask them to send out TIE reinforcements.”Andrew said calmly. The tank was still driving slowly. In order to protect the tank, the speed was even reduced.
It was obviously unrealistic for their tanks to race here. Moreover, they had entered the swamp terrain a few minutes ago. If they were to race here and get stuck in the mud, it would be even worse.
"I'll report to the base now!" Nosa switched the communication channel to the exclusive channel of the base. The intact communication equipment on the tank could provide a long-distance intercom.
"Base, base!" There are survivors near the Betty. They have received a large number of pirate attacks! They needed the base's TIE to take off for air support.”Nosa said a long string of words without any pause.
Because she trusted Wang Zhi. He would help them remotely through the walkie-talkie. He had said it before they set off.
Wang Zhi sat in the command center of the base with his head lowered, holding a walkie-talkie as he waited for Nosha to contact him. However, he never expected Nosha to contact him at this time.
He thought for a while and called the soldiers outside the door in. He told them that the base needed to take off two TIE as soon as possible and that they should be prepared to go to the wreckage of the Betty as soon as possible.
"I've already informed them to think of a way to hold on for a little longer.”After Wang Zhi finished giving his instructions, he pressed the button on the walkie-talkie to reply to Nosa. He didn't want his hope to turn into despair because of waiting.
Right now, Wang Zhi was the boss of the base, and Yunica had handed over her full authority. Not only did she want to flatter Wang Zhi, but she also wanted to take a gamble, hoping that he would not lead the base to death.
" He replied, but…" Nosha was very worried. If she were to pass on Wang Zhi's words, would it be too much of a blow?
"But what? Did he say something that demoralized us?" Andrew guessed it right. Then, he moved his hand on the communicator, indicating to tell them directly." Tell them everything without a word. Don't turn hope into lies. This is war. How many casualties do the Empire's army have every year? Why did the empire keep trillions of soldiers?”
"You guys need to hold on for a while longer. Flying support will arrive soon.”Nosa said into the microphone.
"Alright, thank you!"
The reply was very fast. They received the reply they deserved. No one knew the meaning of this sentence better than them, who were in a desperate situation.
"Sir! He had made contact! We still need to hold on for a while longer!”The Mechanic shouted at the squad officer who was fighting in the distance," Air support will be here soon…"
He did not have the chance to continue. A few red explosive energy beams hit him directly, and he became the target of everyone.
" Okay…" The officer looked at the only Mechanic in the camp and could not help but feel sorry. However, this was a battlefield where people could die at any time." We still need to hold on for some time. The air support from the base will arrive soon!"”
At this moment, the pirates had the upper hand on the battlefield. The heavy blasters on the shuttle quickly fired red explosive beams.
The attacks from the sky wantonly slaughtered the dynasty's assault team members on the ground.
"Someone shoot down that shuttle!”A commando team leader pointed at the hovering shuttle and said to his team members.
One of the commandos pulled out a plastic bomb from his waist, activated the bomb, entered the password, and threw it in a perfect arc.
"Boom!" The shuttle turned into a fireball.
The explosion sent metal shards flying everywhere, and many of them hit the pirates who had their backs to the shuttle and were not well-equipped.
Seeing this, the assault team immediately organized a counterattack. The unarmed assault team members picked up the guns of the dead.
" Buzz…" The roar of a TIE could be heard from afar.
" I've already targeted their shuttle..." a TIE pilot said to his companion in the communication channel.
They were the best at dealing with these unarmed shuttles.
"Gujiba scumbag." A pirate shouted through the communicator.
"We need to evacuate? Why?" The other pilot asked in confusion.
However, when the green energy beam from the TIE hit him and turned his shuttle into a fireball, no one would ask such a stupid question.
"Our air support has arrived!" The officer looked at the eagle in the sky and could not help but feel the might of the empire." Annihilate these pirates!”
The pirates on the ground were like a flock of wild chickens without the support of the shuttles. Under the brave counterattack of the commandos, they were quickly subdued.
