Age of Empires From Scratch - Chapter 580
[Chapter 577 Win-Win]
As the number of battles between humans and monsters increases, the monsters become stronger and stronger, the Jaguar mechas are constantly damaged, and the pilots are sacrificed one after another.
Different voices began to appear within the human race:
they were unwilling to continue to spend a lot of financial, human and material resources to fight the monsters endlessly, but wanted to build high walls and switch to a completely defensive posture.
They were also preparing to completely disband the Pacific Rim Joint Defense Force.
Marshal Steck-Pantcost had no choice but to concentrate all the remaining troops in the Broken Dome in Hong Kong.
This is also the last base that is still in operation, and the other bases will be closed one after another.
At this time, the entire Pacific Rim Joint Defense Force only had three normal Jaguar mechas, including the first-generation Jaguar mecha Cherno Alpha, the fourth-generation Jaguar mecha Storm Red, and the fifth-generation mecha Eureka Raider, which is still in Sydney and has not come to join. In addition,
there is a third-generation Jaguar mecha Dangerous Wanderer that is being repaired and upgraded, and it is expected to be able to resume combat power soon.
But the problem now is that there is no suitable driver.
“Who do you think will be the pilot of the Dangerous Wanderer?”
Because all the personnel came to the Xiangjiang base, Cai Tiantong, who was stationed in Anchorage, also followed and reunited with his old friends David, Kara and Hu Huishan.
Not long after the two sides met again, Cai Tiantong saw through everything: Wow, David really took both of them down! He
is simply an idol for life!
He was very curious, how did David manage to take down two women who knew each other at the same time and didn’t let them fight? Is the synaesthesia connection so magical?
It’s a pity that he couldn’t ask more useful content from David, so he talked to David about other things.
For example, the candidate for the pilot of the Dangerous Wanderer.
At present, all the personnel of the Joint Military Defense Force have gathered in the Broken Dome, not only the front-line combat personnel, but also aircraft pilots, ground crew, maintenance technicians, etc.
Naturally, it also includes a large number of reserve pilots, and Cai Tiantong knows the situation of these people.
“I think the Tang brothers are more likely?”
The Tang brothers are the drivers of Storm Red in the original plot, and they are triplets.
Over the years, the Tang brothers have been stationed in the base as the backup pilots of Storm Red. If David, Kara and Hu Huishan are killed, then the three brothers will become the official pilots of Storm Red.
Because they are triplets, their strength is similar and they have enough tacit understanding, they are the most suitable candidates for the three-person driving system.
On the contrary, David, Kara, and Hu Huishan, who seem to have nothing to do with each other and are “hard-assembled”, have such a magical performance, which is the real outlier.
But unfortunately, Storm Red has performed extremely well in the Xiangjiang base over the years, and it can return intact every time it attacks. No matter how the monsters that fight with Storm Red upgrade and become stronger, they can’t last too long in front of Storm Red.
The tacit understanding and combat effectiveness of the three people deeply shocked everyone in the joint military defense force. David is responsible for assisting fire control and ensuring the stability and balance of various systems, and Kara and Hu Huishan are the main and co-pilots, responsible for fighting wholeheartedly, which also makes everyone feel magical.
The two women were responsible for output, while David was responsible for watching the fun. In addition, Sasha, the main driver of the Cherno Alpha, was also a woman, and her husband Alexis was the one who played the auxiliary role. Many people sighed that the women who could become the pilots of the Jaeger were indeed more sturdy than each other.
“I don’t think Marshal Pantecoaster will choose the Tang brothers.” It is too difficult to find a triplet driver, and the marshal must keep a group of backups for Storm Red.
In addition to the Tang brothers, the other backup drivers have similar abilities and there are no particularly outstanding talents.
So David believes that Marshal Pantecoaster will most likely still find Raleigh Beckett back, and let Raleigh Beckett, an experienced veteran, take a novice to drive the Dangerous Wanderer to ensure that the Dangerous Wanderer can maximize its due combat power.
He has no time to wait for the rookie to grow up slowly, and the funds raised by personal relationships cannot support such a large base and long-term consumption of troops, so he can only choose to go all out, integrate all the forces in his hands, launch an attack on the crossing port, and eradicate the threat of monsters once and for all.
This battle plan is known to everyone present, so what David says now is not a spoiler.
“Under the current situation, the Marshal will definitely give priority to experienced old pilots.”
“Experienced? Now the only experienced pilots left in the base are you three, Sasha and Alexis. Are you going to separate the three of you? Each of you will bring a newcomer?”
Cai Tiantong actually thought of another person, but that person has been missing for a long time, and he can’t…
Suddenly turning his head to look at Mori Mazi who was eating obediently next to him, Cai Tiantong believed that Mori Mazi must know more about the inside story than himself, after all, she is the Marshal’s adopted daughter.
“Mazi, don’t you know something?”
Mazi’s eyes dodged twice, and finally felt that there was really nothing to hide about this matter: “The Marshal went out this time just to bring back Raleigh Beckett.”
“Did you find him?”
“Well, although it took some time, we have determined his location.”
Asako Mori didn’t say more, but David knew that Raleigh Beckett was a wall builder at that time. Then he saw in the live broadcast how the monsters easily demolished the high wall that they spent a lot of time and effort to build, just like knocking down Lego blocks.
If he hadn’t seen with his own eyes that the work he had done for several years was all in vain, he wouldn’t have been so happy to come back to drive the Jaeger mecha.
Hearing that his good friend was coming back, Cai Tiantong was very happy and looked forward to the reunion of several people.
Before Raleigh Beckett returned to the army, the Eureka Raider and its two pilots, Herk Hansen and Chuck Hansen, also came to the Broken Dome of Xiangjiang.
“Finally, I see you in person.” Herk Hansen shook hands with David. He and David and several others had joined forces to deal with monsters, but as the main trump cards of the garrison, they had no chance to really meet: “You look younger in person than you do on the video communication.”
“Think you are praising me!”
David, Hu Huishan and Kara have lived in this world for many years. Even if they claimed that they were only twenty years old when they first came, they are now close to thirty.
However, the appearance of the three of them has hardly changed much. Fortunately, the time is not particularly long. If the three of them are still like this in more than ten years, it is estimated that suspicion will be aroused.
After greeting the Hansen father and son, David waited for Raleigh Beckett to return.
In other words, waiting for the key plot to start.
During the years of waiting quietly, Hu Huishan’s strength has greatly improved, and she finally learned the Holy Light not long ago.
It can be said that her purpose of coming to this world has been achieved. They did not leave directly, just to solve the problem of monsters. After
living for so many years and meeting so many friends, the two women have some feelings for this world and are unwilling to leave directly and leave a mess.
If you want to leave, you have to solve all the problems before leaving.
Not to mention, David also wants to catch all these people and pull them to Winter City!
“What are you going to do?”
Before the final plot came, the three people also held a small meeting in private. Hu Huishan and Kara knew that David wanted to poach people, but they were curious about his intention to persuade these people to leave their homes that they had to protect with their lives and go to Winter City to work for David.
“Tell the truth!”
“Are you going to tell them that you are actually the king of Winter City and are going to invite them to work in your kingdom?” Hu Huishan felt that this routine was very familiar. Wasn’t David inviting her in this way? “Do you do this to everyone who wants to poach someone?”
“Almost.” David didn’t think there was anything wrong with this method. Everyone was straightforward and made the situation clear. The choice was entirely in the hands of the other party. Isn’t this good?
If you use a deceptive method to fool people, you can’t guarantee what will happen in the future, which will be detrimental to the future.
Moreover, with the development of Winter City, the Kingdom of Winter is no longer the backward territory with little territory, few people, and inadequate infrastructure. The
current Winter City is not only no different from the modern Earth in daily life, but also has many more convenient things. During this period, the entertainment industry has begun to develop. In the future, the residents of Winter City don’t have to worry about the lack of leisure activities to relieve boredom on their days off.
Not to mention, people like Pantecost are terminally ill and dying soon.
As long as he could survive, Pantecost had no reason to refuse. He was not an old man who had let go of everything. The middle-aged Steck Pantecost would definitely not be reconciled.
“If these people accept your invitation, what positions do you plan to let them take?”
“To deal with the pioneers.”
“What do you mean?”
Seeing Hu Huishan and Kara were full of questions, David explained his thoughts a little.
This world not only has the human civilization of the earth, but also the pioneer civilization that sent monsters to invade the earth. Those people have very powerful biotechnology and space technology. David will certainly not let go of this good thing that is delivered to the door.
Using Pantecost and others to deal with these so-called pioneers is also protecting their own world in a way, and they will not refuse their invitation.
“The earth is safe! Winter City not only gained a group of excellent warriors, but also got the pioneer technology.” David clapped his hands happily: “Win-win!”
Hu Huishan and Kara were amazed at David’s idea. Could it be that when he first chose to join the Pacific Rim Joint Military Defense Force, he had this plan in mind? Make arrangements in advance to make friends with everyone to facilitate the subsequent showdown?
“As expected of a king!”
