Part 108: Mission #40: Olde English 800
Mission #40: Olde English 800Into the poorly defended innards of Tianlei!
: I've been waiting.
: You!
: I haven't forgotten the pain you've caused me.
: Get out of my way!
: Hmph, over my dead body!
Can do.
: I guess we're fighting then.
The game forces you to use the same squad as last time, so it's Kazuki, Emma, Ryogo and Linny once again. The enemy has a few more rifle Shangdis, and Lan in a Tieqi 4 armed with a flamethrower. I guess it's better than a rifle, but not much.
Once again, it's not much of a contest. Shangdis simply can't survive close combat, and the small size of the map doesn't allow any other option.
Well, that hurt. Flamethrower will occasionally have times when they do things like this and wipe out half of a wanzer's health. Still, I'm not overly concerned.
Emma has been on somewhat of a cold streak of late. Still, Lan losing her legs does effectively immobilize her, as it means that Ryogo can gun her down with impunity since his range is two more than her flamethrower and she can only move one space a turn.
Excellent, let's wipe out the other rifle wanzers, then.
Damned rifle wanzers.
Like all problems in life, the sustained application of firepower cures all crises.
I force-eject a pilot with Linny, and send Ryogo in for the kill. I guess he comes close.
I've let Lan live long enough, but this is the penultimate action of the mission, so it's time to close things down.
: This cannot be!
Nothing like overkill to end a mission.
Not bad. Ryogo gets MVP, though I'm not sure anyone really deserves it for this mission.
: Kazuki, you okay?
: Yeah......is what I'd like to say, but it's really getting tough.
: We're almost there. Hang on.
: You don't have to tell me. I know.
: Get to the lowest level from there.
: The engine room's there?
: Yes.
Next Time: Sudden Death Overtime!
