Chapter 617 The Glorious Moment of Metal Slug

When Cheng Tian first encountered Metal Slug 3, he used his saved allowance to become a coin-operated hero and confronted the fake modern world, and he was extremely disappointed.

The boss battle against the fake Modern and the large helicopter bomber Hyde is exactly the same as the final boss in Metal Slug 1.

But after Cheng Tian thwarted the fake Modern, he realized that everything was just beginning.

The final stage of Metal Gear 3 is equivalent to three stages in one; you can find that almost half of the video time is spent on this final stage if you look at any walkthrough video.

From the initial horizontal scrolling aerial shooting, to the action shooting of the fake modern BOSS battle, and then to the vertical scrolling space shooting after taking to the sky, it finally returned to the traditional action shooting.

The final stage of Metal Slug 3 is the pinnacle of the entire game series.

Regardless of their initial intentions, when the members of the Modern and Peregrine/Sparrow squads were captured, the two factions, who had been fighting to the death, immediately put aside their hatred and boarded a manned rocket together, soaring into the sky and heading towards the Martian mothership. The spectacular scene of thousands of arrows being fired simultaneously was deeply imprinted in Cheng Tian's heart, making him feel a strong surge of excitement.

At this very moment, Cheng Tian, ​​who was experiencing a strong push-back sensation, had become one of the many arrows being fired at him.

The Modern Army, or rather, the Earth side during the Alloy 3 era, had not yet developed the relevant skills for space warfare. Therefore, these large numbers of five-stage launch vehicles were only responsible for sending soldiers and supplies into outer space. As for how to bring them back... that was completely outside the Modern Army's consideration!
It can be said that the Modern Army was prepared to die and lose everything, putting all available soldiers and supplies on the line, hoping for only the slightest possibility of rescuing the general.

Even the seemingly reckless but actually brave and intelligent Sergeant Allen had a clearer understanding of the roles and responsibilities of his own Modern Army soldiers—

Cannon fodder! Every single one of them is cannon fodder!
Their mission was to provide cover for the real elites—the government forces and their own special forces—as they stormed the Martian mothership, even at the cost of their lives.

The Modern Army's launch vehicle is a five-stage segment. At the very top of the rocket, there is a reserved space large enough to store two "individual obstacle-breaking rockets" or supplies of equal volume. Cheng Tian and Eileen were on the same rocket.

Perhaps it was the influence of Brother Beast King's words, "Take a gamble, and you might turn a bicycle into a motorcycle," or perhaps it was the backlash from Cheng Tian's statement, "Giving up is also a kind of courage." Uncle Snow and Little P, who should have chosen to retreat gracefully and stay safely on the surface, were now experiencing the process of gradually going from being pushed back to breaking free from the constraints of gravity.

As for the Smart Head, who is nearly four meters tall including his armor, he has a specially made large single-soldier obstacle-breaking rocket and all the space of a five-stage launch vehicle.

This thing is clearly an arrangement made for him by the rules of space.

Of course, given Smart Head's piloting ability, the possibility of him actually keeping the individual rocket launcher is very low; its purpose is simply to shield Smart Head from some bullets.

Including Cheng Tian, ​​everyone was equipped with individual rockets and corresponding individual space combat suits. They were simple, but very powerful, and could be used with the help of dungeon-specific buffs.

The five-stage launch vehicle began to separate segment by segment, from the first to the fourth, until finally the rocket nose cone at the top of the rocket split in two, revealing its contents.

Cheng Tian and Eileen's rocket successfully separated from the last section below at the final moment. The blue and white high-temperature exhaust flames burst out below the single-soldier obstacle-breaking rocket, finally breaking free from the Earth's gravitational pull.

[Modern Army Individual Obstacle-Breaching Rocket: Purple Rare/Lv-, Space Rocket, Combat Vehicle, Single-Soldier Vehicle. Driving Requirements: None. Temporarily modified by Modern Army maintenance pilots, significantly lowering the driving requirements to allow more ordinary soldiers to pilot it, but also indirectly reducing the vehicle's own strength ceiling. Durability: 200/200*5. A space warfare-specialized individual combat vehicle, it is also a space missile capable of breaching obstacles. It is a special missile specifically designed for "boarding maneuvers," with almost no protective measures. It is imbued with the belief that once the arrow is released, there is no turning back; there are only two possibilities: successful boarding or death midway. There is no third option. Simply choosing to pilot it requires considerable resolve.]

12.6mm半自动火神机炮——安装在火箭顶部的唯一攻击手段，伤害45-55，备弹600/600。

Unguided missile launcher – a missile launcher mounted on both sides of the vehicle, dealing 220-270 damage, with 10/10 ammunition.

LV Mech Firepower Module – This module adds a special firepower design derived from the LV mech prototype stolen from the government forces. It allows the individual obstacle-breaching rocket to automatically adapt to all government special ammunition and apply it to vehicles. When picking up and adding government special ammunition, the weapon pods on both sides of the rocket will also unlock.

[Additional comment: This highly specialized vehicle, which began development two years ago, is very likely a project initiated by a research division within the Modern Army that already harbored concerns about the Martian forces.]

Like these two, all the rockets around them, which were carrying Modern Army soldiers and other players, also performed the same separation operation.

But at that very same moment, countless green beams of light rained down from the sky, engulfing the large number of Modern Army individual rockets on the battlefield—

That was a combined laser strike from small spaceships on the Martian mothership!
Some pilots with clearly inadequate piloting skills were hit on the spot, or their flight paths were deviated from due to debris, or they disintegrated in mid-air. In either case, it basically meant that they were dead.

Cheng Tian and Eileen were naturally also within the range of these laser attacks, but they avoided the laser attacks from above by barely moving, almost by grazing them.

Eileen, of course, lacked the necessary operational skills; she relied entirely on Cheng's chariot matrix for zero-latency remote micro-management.

In a sense, Eileen's life and fortune were entirely in Cheng Tian's hands.

The wind elemental spirit transformation can be used freely on Earth, but it's not so useful in outer space.

Because he had already foreseen the inevitable space battle scenario, Cheng Tian did not rush to summon Bazett and Utan, and Mina was also on standby.

"Remember to apply the Wind Walk buff at any time!"

"Smarty! Uncle Xue! Little P! All of you, come to me!"

"Triangle formation!"

Cheng Tian issued a series of commands through the communicator, and then the Tai Chi True Eye on his forehead immediately opened wide and began to rotate at a constant speed.

His mental energy passed through the vehicle's cover without any hindrance, filling and enveloping the ever-changing cosmic battlefield.
