Harrison Clark had long recognized his talent in the field of combat.
His current performance was just another proof that a transcendent strong person, even in a completely new environment, could still adapt to the new battlefield at an astonishingly fast speed, and once again shine and stand out quickly.
As his bullets kept hitting the flying machines, one after another, the pressure on the left defense formation was continuously relieved.
It was only after less than twenty seconds that he increased the human-machine battle damage ratio to 1:3.
The situation reversed.
And because the gap between the enemy and their firepower was constantly narrowing, the other fighters could finally counterattack more effectively, further widening the battle damage ratio.
In such small-scale encounters, an elite warrior like a sharp knife could indeed easily influence the outcome.
Nora Camp was truly an outstanding commander. Even while fighting on the front lines, she could still see and hear everything around her.
She quickly detected the sudden emergence of a super rookie in the central part of the formation and the impact on the battle situation.
The next second, Harrison Clark received a new order.
“Private Harrison Clark! Immediately transfer to support the right flank and assist your comrades in shooting down 300 mobile defense team warplanes in twenty-five seconds!”
“Received!”
Harrison Clark didn’t hesitate to leave his comrades behind and move to the new position.
Although losing his cover would put Lion and the others in a crisis, it was an order, and it was also in line with his own and Nora Camp’s judgment on the battle situation.
The left was stabilized, but the right was in grave danger.
If the right flank was broken through and the formation was forcibly divided into two, at least 400 of their remaining more than 700 comrades would have to be sacrificed.
The lives of Lion, Marthus, and other comrades all mattered!
Harrison Clark chose to believe in Lion and Marthus’ abilities.
Even the twenty-five-second timeline was within Harrison’s anticipation, as the second squadron responsible for rear defense could only hold out for another thirty seconds!
So, after helping the fourth squadron on the right, he would definitely have to move quickly to the rear to assist the rear defense troops.
“I’m here!”
Upon arriving at the right formation, he shouted to inspire the fighting spirit of his comrades there.
The spirits of the fourth squadron members were instantly uplifted, thinking their savior had arrived.
But the next moment, he unexpectedly controlled the Hawk Armor in space assault mode and dashed out of the combined shield, completely exposing himself to the enemy’s firepower.
His comrades were shocked.
Everyone thought that they couldn’t have just waited for their savior to arrive only to lose him so quickly, right?
Even Commander Nora Camp, who had a clear understanding of his strength, was taken aback, thinking that he was overly confident and about to die in vain.
Although the assault mode provided more power and shield performance due to changes in the circuit system, based on the simple lever principle, the larger size made it more difficult to maneuver and generate greater acceleration when doing high-intensity small-range movements, causing greater physical strain on the driver.
Hundreds of years ago, large single-soldier armor had already exhausted the human body’s ability to withstand high G-forces, and later, individual soldier armor became smaller and smaller, only expanding during space warfare for this reason.
So, Harrison Clark in assault mode would be almost impossible to evade the concentrated fire of the flying machines.
No matter how strong the shield, it would certainly not withstand the terrifying firepower of hundreds of machines on the right.
Just as everyone was worried, hundreds of “kites” and “sparrows” on the right periphery indeed turned their muzzles and quickly charged their energy.
But…
destruction did not happen as everyone feared.
The huge black assault Hawk Armor suddenly moved.
Harrison Clark spread his arms, and the compressed material grew into eight gun barrels pointing in different directions.
At the moment when the enemy’s concentrated fire swept across, the huge battle armor suddenly disappeared from its original position, reappearing only three meters away.
He had only moved a small distance but perfectly avoided the barrage.
At the moment of his evasion, the eight gun barrels simultaneously sprayed sparks and flames.
The intense gunfire sounded like thousands of firecrackers exploding.
The next second, he moved again, once again ingeniously avoiding enemy fire.
In the whole high-speed maneuvering process, the frequency of his gunfire did not weaken at all.
In mid-air, those flying machines that were fighting back while flipping seemed like a swarm of mosquitoes that had been sprayed with insecticide head-on, falling like raindrops to the ground.
His operation was not complicated. It seemed like a simple horizontal shift and abrupt stop, but it made it impossible for him to be hit.
His shooting skills were also quite ordinary, just a standard multibarrel air burst, but he managed to hit enemy aircrafts.
“This…”
The fourth squadron leader was dumbfounded and speechless.
Faced with this situation, his first reaction was that it was impossible.
Many things were impossible.
For example, the human body could not withstand the intense small-range movement of the assault Hawk Armor, as one’s body would be shattered.
It was said that Needham Brown could do it, but Needham Brown was not in the Giant Wave Vertical Team.
Also, could the original atmospheric Hawk Armor perform such high-intensity movements?
Could the assault mode maintain such maneuverability while delivering such powerful sustained firepower?
Oh, right, his shield generator should still occupy some power output.
Wait a minute!
This man didn’t even turn on his shield!
No wonder he could support such high-intensity power and firepower output simultaneously.
He must be insane!
This was truly an insane level of artistry and courage.
Thirteen seconds later, Harrison Clark jumped back into the protection range of his own combined shield.
Total enemy aircraft destroyed – 362, an overachievement of the task.
He believed that Nora Camp in the front had already known his battle results, so he waited for new orders.
As expected, less than a second later, a new order came, asking him to go to the rear where the pressure was the greatest.
As Harrison Clark was about to rush there, he heard Nora Camp’s voice in his mind.
“Wait, remember to replace your backup biological battery, you only have 30% energy left.”Harrison Clark replied, “No problem, switch once it’s at five percent.”
Thirty seconds later, the rear pursuers were initially defeated.
Harrison Clark, who arrived at the rear, was still unstoppable. He quickly and completely wiped out the rear enemy aircraft, then immediately led the second squadron forward to counterattack, assisting the third and fourth squadrons in clearing the battlefield.
Another two minutes later, the battle ended.
In less than five minutes of an encounter battle, the team had paid a price of nearly 400 lives, but they succeeded in escaping from the Costwoods Valley.
Here, it was a plain, seemingly available for unbridled speeding.
But no one dare relax.
The enemy’s Ocean Third Defense Team and the lab’s mobile defense team were completely different. They were the enemy’s main battle corps, with better establishment and stronger military strength. They were also said to be equipped with new phase metal bullet-shell ammunition capable of penetrating shielding and causing damage.
All this information could be found in the Hawk Amor’s intelligence system. When they reached the plains, it would pop up automatically. Harrison glanced at it briefly to keep himself informed.
He speculated on Nora Camp’s tactical thinking.
Just now, their whereabouts had been exposed in the valley. They had barely managed to shoot down more than 3,000 chasing aircraft,, so under these circumstances, Nora Camp should choose to re-enter a hidden state, carefully moving forward.
Actually, Harrison Clark wanted to look at more information, but the current situation was delicate, so he focused on the task at hand first.
Unexpectedly, a second later, Nora Camp formally gave the order, telling everyone to maintain the original plan, deliver full power, and quickly head west.
In the blink of an eye, more than 600 people took to the skies, breaking the sound barrier one after another and quickly reaching eight mach. The long, neat team advanced at low altitude in a strict formation.
Forty seconds later, the team had advanced about 100 kilometers.
The weather conditions deteriorated, and they entered a region covered by thunderclouds.
Ahead, dark clouds enveloped the area, and the air was humid and oppressive. Sunlight dimmed, and thunder rumbled occasionally, with lightning flashes that seemed to herald a torrential downpour at any moment.
Suddenly, a swarm of aircraft rose violently behind the mountain range in front.
Ambush! Again!
It was the enemy’s Ocean Third Defense Team!
“Harrison Clark, come to the front.”
Nora Camp said calmly.
Harrison Clark thought she was asking him to go to the front of the formation, so he immediately sped up a little and asked, “What does the General need me for?”
Nora Camp was taken aback. “General? No, call me Team Leader.”
“Oh, oh, alright.”
Harrison Clark felt a twinge of sadness in his heart.
He had tested the waters.
She really had been demoted to Team Leader.
That meant humans really were not in a good position in this conflict.
“Don’t change direction! Keep moving straight ahead! In fifteen seconds, pass the hidden soldiers directly!”
Nora Camp loudly issued orders to the entire army again, then turned to Harrison Clark and said, “I’ve seen your records, but you weren’t this outstanding before.”
Her tone held a hint of scrutiny and doubt, with perhaps even a hint of caution.
Harrison Clark knew what she was worried about. “But after all, I have a clear background, right? And who wants to be mediocre for a lifetime? I suddenly realized that I have this ability, so I unreservedly display it. My goal is only to save a few more brothers from dying.”
Nora Camp thought for three seconds, “That’s true; I now appoint you as the Captain of the Giant Wave Vertical Team’s Special Operations Team. Your mission is to lead the 20 most elite soldiers remaining in our forces and show up at the most dangerous part of the battlefield, taking on the role of attacking. Do you accept?”
“No problem.”
Harrison Clark replied straightforwardly.
The next moment, a prompt sounded in his Hawk Armor.
His personal assistant system had been upgraded by one level.
Harrison Clark was satisfied, considering it not bad of a battlefield promotion.
“Do we have to engage in close combat with the hidden soldiers ahead?”
They were getting closer and closer, and Harrison Clark asked.
Nora Camp shook her head, “No, we have reinforcements. From now on, we are only responsible for escaping!”
“Huh?”
Nora Camp’s words had not yet fallen.
In the sky, dozens of battleships of various shapes, sizes, and disparate models brutally broke through the dense cloud layer, carrying dense lightning across their hulls and plunged down harshly!
These dense clouds were not a natural weather phenomenon, but a storm created by battleships lurking within the human-made thunderclouds!
Instantly, more than ten thousand Eagle Strike Warriors jumped out of the bays of those dozens of battleships.
As Harrison Clark looked forward with joy on his face, relieved that reinforcements had arrived just in time, he heard Nora Camp suddenly yell, “Head North! Everyone turn 90 degrees! Flee north!”
Amidst her roaring, dozens of huge, dazzling beams of light suddenly shone from the sky above, piercing through more than ten battleships that had descended to the ground.
The battleships’ shielding was shattered like rotten wood, hitting the hull before exploding one after another. The explosive shockwaves generated by the explosions caused hurricane-like winds and wavy ripples on the ground.
The ground was flying non-stop, like a typhoon sweeping across the sea.
Not only that, through the dazzling light in the sky, Harrison Clark saw tens of thousands of battleships breaking out of space, fighting fiercely against the more than ten massive space-based weapons.
The violent shockwaves even burst open the atmosphere, allowing him to see through the hole into the fierce battle taking place in space on low-Earth orbits and the vast, dark starry sky!
The battle escalated in an instant, from a small-scale special squad engagement to an all-out war!
Ignoring the threat from their descent, the Third Defense Team from behind the mountains began to pour firepower onto the Giant Wave Vertical Team from a distance.
Nora Camp continued to lead the team, flipping and madly rushing north.
“Don’t linger over the battle! Charge north! Charge!”
Harrison Clark followed closely behind her, only occasionally looking back because of the flash behind him.
The more than ten reinforcements had already turned into several gigantic flowers of flame on the ground.
The tens of thousands of reinforcements were now engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the Third Defense Team.
These reinforcements had no way out.
They were using their lives to hold back their foes.
What was the mission of our Giant Wave Vertical Team after all?
Who was the enemy?
With great uncertainty, Harrison Clark finally opened the mission instructions using his Special Operations Team Captain’s personal system..
