"We currently have a special operations team and several squads on their way to the Sangvis Ferri communication node. We request your support," Helian said to G36 with a stern face, suppressing the urge to roll her eyes.
"Understood." Upon hearing Helian's words, G36 didn't insist on demanding the commission fee further. Instead, she turned around and contacted Renault while gesturing to CF05 and the others, indicating that they could stand down.
Receiving the message from G36, Renault immediately called Simonov and the others, who were still hovering over the Griffin base, to provide support.
After all, it was just a communication node, and with the speed of aircraft, it wouldn't take more than fifteen minutes to finish.
Meanwhile, Gentiane and the others in the Griffin base watched as G36 and the rest left swiftly. It felt somewhat surreal.
Just twenty minutes ago, they were facing a life-threatening situation, but now it had been completely quelled. If it weren't for the gunfire still audible from the opening above the base, they would have doubted if it had all been real.
"Anyway, let's have a few doll squads go down to the surface to assess the situation. Don't withdraw the defenses of the base temporarily to avoid any changes in the situation."
Kryuger breathed a sigh of relief and began to speculate slightly about the Sangvis Ferri's actions.
Could it be that the Sangvis Ferri had discovered his presence here and hastily gathered a large force to attack?
Helian nodded in agreement and immediately began to make arrangements.
The Griffin commanders and Tactical Dolls, who had been catching their breath in place, also started to move. Several intact squads climbed up towards the surface under the leadership of a few commanders, following the direction G36 and the others had left.
With most of the upper buildings in the base now collapsed, and the elevators directly broken, the only way to reach the surface was by using their legs, just like G36 and the others.
However, G36 and her team didn't climb up leisurely. Their jumping ability far surpassed that of the human commanders and Tactical Dolls wearing exoskeletons, leaping up in a few bounds.
The Griffins could only climb up slowly. The emergency stairs should still be usable, but whether there were any areas that had collapsed or fallen was unknown.
"So, what's the deal with those T-Dolls? Why is their combat effectiveness so much higher than ours?"
As they climbed, several Griffin commanders chatted.
"They've probably undergone some extreme modifications. Did you not see how they could jump tens of meters?"
"Yeah, it's extreme indeed. Military droids don't have this level of performance."
"Exactly, who knows what modifications they've undergone."
...
"We still can't go back? How long will these scattered Sangvis Ferri units last?"
Nagant Revolver felt bored as she occasionally fired her machine gun to take down a few popping-up Sangvis Ferri Dolls..
A large number of Sangvis Ferri unit remnants had already piled up into a small hill in front of them, serving as cover.
Although the approaching Sangvis Ferri forces were not numerous, they kept popping up intermittently. While not posing a threat to them, it was annoying.
If these Sangvis Ferri units kept appearing every few minutes, wouldn't they have to stay here indefinitely?
"Simonov and the others have already left to support the Griffin team responsible for destroying the communication node. We should be able to go back soon." M1 Garand counted the remaining ammunition in the ammo box while hanging several empty boxes on hooks for the Rippers in the spacecraft cabin to take back.
"That's good, but it's already mealtime. Haven't G36 and the others finished yet?"
"They're done. Look, there they are." MDR pointed in the direction of the Griffin base.
G36 and her team had just jumped out from under the crack. Seeing M1 Garand and the others here, they waved in greeting.
But before G36 could speak, Renault's voice suddenly sounded in the communication channel, and the spacecraft hovering in the air slowly descended to a nearby flat ground.
"Alright, pack up and return to the ship. Leave two people to keep an eye on those scattered Sangvis Ferri units. The rest can go back to rest and rotate shifts later."
Listening to Renault's words, the Doll units immediately jumped into the spacecraft through the open hatch.
HK416 and RFB, on the other hand, took their equipment and went to the top deck of the spacecraft, standing at the edge of the deck sniping at the scattered Sangvis Ferri units.
Since they were in relatively good condition, they would hold the fort for a while, and others would come to replace them later.
Meanwhile, in the spacecraft's dining room, Executioner sat by the bar, curiously eyeing Renault's direction.
"Hunter, are you sure the Commander can cook?" Glancing at Renault, Executioner asked Hunter beside her.
It was the first time she had seen Renault rolling up his sleeves and walking into the kitchen.
And Renault's cooking style appeared completely different from G36 and G3's...
What was with that two-meter-wide pot? Was he using a shovel to stir-fry?
"Of course, before G36 arrived, it was always the Commander who cooked for us." Scarecrow nodded, "And the Commander's cooking is also very good, just different from what G36 and G3 make."
G36 and G3's cooking was always meticulous and exquisite, both in appearance and taste.
But Renault's cooking was different. Although it was also delicious, it wa a bit 'rough' compared to G36 and G3's.
"Hunter, take this pot out." As they spoke, Renault had already put the cooked food into a large pot one meter long, indicating Hunter to help carry it out.
In addition to this freshly cooked pot, Hunter had already carried out five large pots of food, two buckets of soup, and several buckets of steamed rice.
"Here we go!" Watching the cheerful Hunter run out to help, Executioner and Scarecrow glanced at each other. Smelling the fragrant aroma of meat in the air, they couldn't wait any longer.
Scarecrow picked a bowl, sifted the container and left for a nearb table to eat.
"Go call them for dinner." Instructing a few Dinergates at her feet, Executioner ordered them to run towards the hangar.
As they ran, they repeatedly played Renault's words through their respective communication devices, "Dinner! Dinner!"
Meanwhile, Renault didn't wait for G36 and the others to come over. Carrying his bowl and chopsticks from the cabinet, he served himself some food, picked up his bowl, and a folding stool, then went straight to the top deck.
Before leaving, he threw a sentence to Executioner and the others, "If you want to eat, do it yourself, don't just stand there."
