Collapse, the Ordinary Daily Life of the Valkyries

How did Rita end up in such a dangerous situation all by herself? Fortunately, when she left, she had sent an emergency message to each Valkyrie that would trigger when they were in trouble:

"Are you free right now?"

In response to the captain's conversation, Rita peeked out from behind the brick wall. Tianming's reinforcements hadn't arrived yet, and the enemies outside couldn't get in.

"If you need to report, there may not be enough time, Captain."

"No, I mean for you to contact Theresa and call the Hyperion."

Gao Su was somewhat puzzled and began to edit the message asking Theresa to dispatch the Hyperion to rescue. However, Rita told him the news from the Destiny Headquarters:

"Bishop Theresa rejected Lady Yulandel's proposal for heavy armored vehicles."

"Furthermore, due to concerns that the introduction of large quantities of heavy equipment would further destabilize the situation and negatively impact public opinion, the Valkyrie troops were not authorized to carry heavy equipment on this mission."

This news made Gao Su scratch his head:

"We can't deploy heavy armored vehicles, what about Yulandel and the others?"

"Two Valkyrie airships were shot down by the enemy using RPGs equipped with specially designed Honkai warheads."

"Due to signal interference, the rescue convoy led by Lord Yulandel got lost in Mogadishu."

Rita said another piece of news that made Gao Su decide to take over the command system immediately. He turned over and sat on the windowsill.

Gao Su looked at the blue dots scattered on the map, surrounded by dense red dots, with a serious expression:

"Rita, I will now take over the command of all Valkyries on the battlefield."

Humans are not Honkai beasts or death warriors, and the street fighting in the city is a meat grinder.

Gao Su seemed to understand that this group of Valkyries, who were considered elite in fighting against Honkai, would be trapped in the city.

"You have been connected to the battlefield communications system, Captain."

Seeing the captain take over the command, Rita also breathed a sigh of relief. If there were a group of Honkai beasts and dead soldiers outside.

Then she, Yulandel, and Seele and Mei who came to rescue them could easily kill them.

However, the group outside is a terrorist organization that is threatening civilians and shooting behind them. They are bound by civilians and humanitarianism!

When the Valkyries first participated in the regional peacekeeping movement, the non-stop operation of the machines made the earth tremble, making people's blood boil and their souls nervous.

It is indeed exciting to be able to participate in it personally and to be a part of this powerful punch that shows the world the power of destiny.

They truly felt sorry for the enemies who were trying to stop a chariot with their bare hands. They were equipped with guns and ammunition, holding automatic weapons tightly, and their hearts were beating violently under their bulletproof vests.

They secretly checked one last time: repeating prayers, checking weapons again and again, practicing precise tactical moves, holding a brief departure ceremony... All of this was in preparation for the upcoming battle.

Everyone knew the journey was fraught with danger. This was a daring assault in broad daylight into the African region. It was the heart of Mogadishu, the core of the Habjid clan's sphere of influence and the stronghold of warlord Edidi.

The target was a three-story, flat-roofed stone building with whitewashed exterior walls. It was one of the few intact modern large buildings left in the city.

Surrounding it were small tin-roofed houses, and in the maze-like crisscrossing dirt roads, thousands of militants were lurking.

There are cacti planted on both sides of the streets, no official map available, and simple people. This is a pure African country.

"Attention all units. I, Captain Gao Su of the Hyperion, will now assume command of the battlefield."

In the afternoon sunshine, since Gao Su took over the command, Mogadishu has been like a painting on the hazy horizon of the desert, and it has gradually unfolded in the eyes of the Valkyries.

The scene was so bright, as if the aperture of the world's lens had suddenly been widened. In the distance, the streets were paved with ochre sand.

Spanish-style tiles and rusted tin roofs give this ancient port city a terracotta hue.

After years of civil war and plunder, the magnificent white mosque and ancient tower became the only tall building standing here.

Islam, which has a somewhat hostile relationship with the Church of Heaven, is the only thing that Somalis revere as sacred.

The surrounding area was covered with shrubs, and the tallest trees could barely cover the low roofs. On some stone walls, faint traces of yellow, pink, and gray were visible, which were the remnants of the vanished pre-war civilization.

The entire city is built on the coast, with the desert to the east and the sparkling blue ocean to the west. It may have once been a quiet Mediterranean resort.

"Attention all units, the route has been given. Please evacuate to the designated location quickly according to the route."

"As ordered!"

Although it is very confusing why the commander was changed when the Qilinbawu master Liu Baqi (Seven) was in power, the Valkyries who came from the Tianming headquarters were taught that they should follow orders in all their actions.

The confluence point of the route is exactly the crash site of the Valkyrie airship that Rita went to rescue and was brought down by the modified RPG.

"Valkyrie airship unit, assist ground forces in evacuating."

The Valkyrie airship first flew over the city, then glided back close to the sea surface, then turned right and headed northwest along the west side.

Then, the horrific reality of Mogadishu began to unfold on the ground. It was a scene of devastation and decay.

The city looked as if it had been swept by a deadly plague, and the few paved streets were in ruins.

There were piles of garbage, debris, and burnt remains everywhere, including rusted car wreckage and pitch-black rubber tires.

The walls and buildings that hadn't yet been reduced to gray rubble were dotted with bullet holes, and utility poles jutted out at ominous angles.

It looked like a voodoo totem, with terrifying dreadlocks of hair sticking out from the top of the pole – the remnants of a stiff wire. As for the electrical wires, they had long been stripped and sold on the thriving black market.

Volume 2: Traveling in the Galaxy: Chapter 78: Successful Reunion

With the help of the map that Gao Su transmitted to the communication system, the Valkyries, who were originally blocked by satellite signals and could not see the map, found their target like headless flies.

The Valkyrie team, which already had excellent tactical coordination, quickly relied on their coordination and began to evacuate along the map.

"Be patient, reinforcements will arrive soon."

Rita reinforced the frost wall used to block the enemy, and she comforted the Valkyries and pilots who were seriously injured in the crash of the Valkyrie airship.

Eddie's troops will use the modified rqg rocket launcher correctly and dig a small hole in the ground to prevent the tail flame from spraying out.

When besieging the Valkyrie Squad, heavy firepower such as mortars and recoilless guns were used for bombardment.

This method is almost the same as that of the regular army, and is almost exactly the same as that of the several World Snake teams recruited by Tianming.

Soon, the rain-like gunshots and deafening bombardments outside gradually became sparse and finally disappeared.

Rita saw through the ice wall a figure holding a lance and riding a tall black horse, leading a well-organized Valkyrie rescue team to arrive here through the night.

"Erin, reply."

Until the voice of the command came from outside, Rita breathed a sigh of relief and replied:

"Descend. Five Seals, Baba Lingqi Liuyi"

"Troops, alert!"

Then the ice wall melted, and the two groups of people who came to rescue under the cover of night finally met successfully in this small African town.

The troops of Tianming have lofty aspirations, strict self-discipline, and strong physiques. They regard themselves as the most ambitious and outstanding troops.

Once given the opportunity, many people are eager to be promoted to the special forces, even if it means being selected to undergo the test of the most elite Immortal Blade Force.

Volume 2: Traveling the Galaxy: Chapter 79: Preparing for Evacuation

At night, due to the huge gap in equipment, the hostile forces in the Mogadishu area did not dare to attack the Valkyries at this time.

Yulandel, Rita, and Meiyi were having a small meeting with Gao Su. With the above words, the battlefield meeting began:

"We should continue the operation at night. While you are resting, the enemy is also taking advantage of the darkness to rest."

"And Tianming has standard night vision goggles. With the map I provide, we can fight at night."

However, as things stand now, it is not easy to find a driver who can drive a five-ton truck wearing night vision goggles.

Night vision goggles not only block the wearer's field of vision on both sides, but also greatly shorten the visual distance. It takes a long time to adapt to driving a vehicle with them:

"However, Theresa is truly remarkable for being able to include a Herrscher in the heavy weapon category. Let's not discuss this for now. Let's get you out first."

After saying that, Gao Su began to make a plan on the spot:

"The road ahead was so blocked (trenches, wrecked car and truck hulls, stone piles, burning tires, and debris) that we had to use heavy vehicles to clear the way."

"Due to the current circumstances, the leading heavy vehicle can only be carried by Yulandel riding Krishna. You will create the escape route!"

It was already twelve o'clock at night.

The words of their captain made the three Valkyries present who had been promoted to the first level of command understand that the most dangerous moment of the night had arrived.

The moon hung high in the night sky, and as if Kiana was watching over them, the shooting around the crash site of the first Valkyrie airship had almost completely stopped.

Only one or two gunshots were heard occasionally, and the smoke and smell of gunpowder in the air had dissipated.

All that remained were the unique musky scent of the African continent, the faint smell of sand and dust, the iodine in the medical Valkyrie's kettle, and the lingering aftertaste of Yunnan Baiyao.

"Have they all been rescued?"

"The crews and Valkyries from the two Valkyrie airships that were shot down by the enemy have been rescued."

"However, due to the placement of the wounded, some Valkyries need to be evacuated on foot."

"We have made preliminary arrangements for Mei to lead the team on the left and Rita to lead the team on the right, following the convoy to evacuate out of the city."

Gao Su did not object to the information reported by Youlan Daier, and continued:

"That's it. Let the Valkyrie airship fire flares at the surrounding residential buildings."

There is a special lighting device inside the flare, which contains illuminant, which contains several substances such as metal combustibles, oxides and adhesives.

Metal combustibles are mainly made of magnesium powder and aluminum powder. When magnesium powder and aluminum powder burn, they can produce high temperatures of several thousand degrees Celsius and emit dazzling light.

The oxides are barium nitrate or sodium nitrate, which release a large amount of oxygen when burning, accelerating the combustion of magnesium and aluminum powder and enhancing the luminous brightness.

Adhesives are mostly made of natural drying oil, rosin, shellac and other raw materials. They can bond the medicine together, play a slow-burning role, and ensure that the lighting agent has a certain burning time.

What's more, in order to fight against the Honkai beasts and the dead soldiers at night, the flares of Destiny were enhanced with ingredients.

Firing flares towards the upper floors can not only illuminate their retreat route, but also prevent the enemy militia hiding inside the building from opening their eyes due to the light of the flares.

"Everyone, take some energy supplements and replenish your strength. We'll set off in half an hour. Now, full command is returned to you."

Gao Su looked at the three people over there who were covered in dust and dirt. Even when they were fighting against Honkai, it was hard to see them in this state.

"What's wrong, Captain?"

Youlandel heard Gao Su's giggle and asked, Gao Su shook his head:

"No, this should be considered weight training for you, right? You know, street fighting is the most brutal battlefield."

"It's already a remarkable achievement that you were able to escape from the street fighting without losing anyone."

Listening to her captain's words, Rita examined the place more carefully and meticulously.

In this residential area of ​​Mogadishu, each block is mainly composed of stone bungalows.

Several houses are crookedly gathered together to form small courtyards or open spaces.

There was a small courtyard in this block, and they were in it. The courtyard was probably only the length of two cars.

There is a two-story building on the south side and a bungalow on the north side. It was not until now that Rita realized that this should be the safest place to stay around.

Being able to understand the terrain and battlefield situation within just a few hours of taking over command was something even she could not achieve.

At this time, a donkey pulling a cart came running from somewhere. It slowly crossed the intersection along the slope and even passed through an area with the heaviest firepower.

After crossing the road unscathed, he walked back a few minutes later, obviously confused and disoriented.

This is ridiculous. No one would believe it, but the donkey was not shot at all:

"This stubborn donkey is really lucky."

Rita smiled, making the originally solemn atmosphere somewhat smoother, and Mei said:

"The captain spoke with unusual calmness."

"You'll get scolded."

Youlandel pursed her lips and looked up at the bright moon in the sky:

"We didn't even inform Kiana. Bishop Theresa made this decision rather hastily."

Rita shook her head.

"It was just that an unexpected situation occurred during the operation. Before that, we had been following our plan."

"But fortunately, we have corresponding plans for unexpected situations. We never fight a battle without preparation."
