Counterfeit Hero

"Fatty landing, coordinate position 1045.2207, safe. Latecomers move towards me."

[Fatty] was Tian Xingjian's well-deserved nickname. Originally, Rashid wanted to call him [Jerk], but Fatty vehemently refused. He said, "Either call me a hero or just call me Fatty."

There's no hero as lousy as you; that medal of yours doesn't prove anything. Everyone agreed, let's just call him Fatty.

Generally, deputies are vanguards among reconnaissance soldiers. In a squad operation, the Deputy Squad Leader is at the forefront; in a platoon operation, the Deputy Platoon Leader is at the forefront. Of course, Deputy Battalion Commanders or higher are not included in this. In other words, the highest-ranking officer at the forefront during an operation would be the Deputy Company Commander.

Feeling quite annoyed, Fatty opened the hatch and spat hard. The air outside had a damp smell. The sky was buzzing with the sounds of mechas from the First Company. The boosters on the mechas were maximized, making roaring noises; the rapidly descending mechas appeared to be supported by an invisible hand about fifty meters from the ground, which was the thrust from the boosters acting on the ground.

These mechas were the best standard equipment of the Leray Federation. Due to the special nature of the Special Forces, almost all the weapons and mechas that could be mass-equipped were given priority to the Special Forces.

The mechas equipped by the First Company came in three models, the most common being the 7th generation Warrior Mechas. These were Single Soldier Mechas but possessed extremely high mobility and defense capabilities, enough to contend with the 6th Generation medium-sized mechas. Ordinary soldiers piloted the general model Warrior Pioneers, but Hillard piloted the same Leader model as Special Forces Camp Commander Grant, which he acquired from Nadal. Nadal used his Private Mecha, which had undergone professional modifications and had numerous personalized configurations, making its combat power superior to the standard mechas.

Another type was the two medium-sized anti-joint quadruped Beast-shaped Mechas used by the communications squad. These mechas, known as [Antenna] in the military, were primarily used to maintain contact with the rear and coordinate with the Air Force. In battle, their main function was electromagnetic interference, capable of severing enemy communications and attacking radars, mechanical computers, scanners, and locators, causing them to malfunction or become chaotic.

The final type was the Anger-class heavy fire support mechas, with four such mechas equipped in the First Company. The Anger was also a 7th generation mecha, a scaled-down version of the 6th generation heavy mechas. Despite the size reduction, its power increased. These five-person mechas were equipped with an indirect fire gun, three energy machine guns, a missile launcher, a body made of stronger alloys, extremely strong attached armor defenses, and a large energy shield, effectively making them a moving fortress with fierce firepower.
