Biggs ordered his men to systematically move forward to Queen's hideout. Every 200-300 meters he will use the air cannon, and artillery as well as the tanks to clear a path for him and his men. And soon he was already in front of Queen's lair.
Queen's lair is an underground bunker located in the natural cave system that forms after the war. The entrance is 10 meters wide, and judging by its looks. The inside is heavily renovated and converted into a maze of tunnels and corridors.
"What an annoying base," said Wedge in frustration.
His heavy machinery has no use inside this kind of terrain. "Send in the drones and have them map up the area, and bring me someone that can give us an idea what to expect inside, also request 500 combat droids from base to be sent here." Ordered Wedge.
"Right away sir."
Soon the drones immediately entered Queen's lair, but soon after they were greeted by a rain of bullets and have no choice but to retreat.
Biggs hearing the report frowned. His men give him the reports from the interrogation, they now have a basic knowledge of Queens Lair.
"Have our men shoot as many tear gas inside the lair and blow it using air canon the lowest settings to spread the gas inside" ordered Biggs.
"Yes, sir."
Soon enough more and more tear gas was shot inside the lair. Heavy red smoke from the tear gas can be seen from the entrance to the lair. Boom. Air canon in the lowest setting blows all the gas further inside the lair.
Biggs looks at it and smiles "let see how long they can last. Unfortunately, we didn't know if this cave system has other entrance besides here." He said in his mind.
"Keep going let's see how much tear gas that lair can hold. And tell the Shadow Unit to look for red gas coming from the ground as we don't know how many exits this cave have"
"Yes, sir."
"Oh, and increased the scout drones range of patrol and have it pay attention to red smokes."
"Of course sir."
Biggs comes out of the mobile command center. And stand in front of the soldiers.
"Gear up! And ready to assault the Queen's lair. Don't forget to bring an extra oxygen cylinder. For they might be more than tear gas inside its better to not breathe the air inside at all."
He looks at the eyes of the soldiers and saw no fear but anticipations he smiles. "Good" he whispered.
"You have 30mins to prepare.
"Yes sir"
Biggs addressed the lieutenants in front of him, "When the droids get here you can lead them to assault the lair. I'll give you command over them the five of you will form five teams each team can have 100 combat droids use them well."
The 5 lieutenant saluted. "Yes, Sir."
Biggs salutes back. "Go make preparation droids will be here in 30 minutes, you guys will begin the assault then."
"Yes, Sir."
"I really want to join them, but I need to be here to command, it's really annoying if Eve's not here as we can't move as much as we want, sigh," Biggs grumbled.
....
Inside the lair, Queen and her trusted men are having a meeting.
"My Queen, they are already in front of our base. And shooting a crazy amount of tear gas inside, and using their air canon the tear gas is spreading fast inside our base we don't have enough gas mask for everyone."
Queen is having a headache listening to the reports the cave is a natural fortress and a maze it took her several years to completely map up the cave. There are only one entrance and one secret exit, but in order to use the exit she needs the device from Homura, she sent 3 of her best men Emma, Pia, and Jiro but none returned.
"Shit" she cursed in her mind. "If only that bastard Homura didn't spend too much time in creating that device I would already have it here." She notices that over the past few years her self-control that she develops as Special Agent is starting to crumble little by little.
"My Queen what should we do?"
Hmm, she woke up from her thinking. "Don't worry this cave our base is very big it will take them a long time to completely navigate it, especially since we have planted many traps inside."
Her men listen to her with a fanatic look in their eyes. This is Queen's most trusted men they won't falter and lose faith in her no matter what.
She looks at them one by one and said: "believe in me, we can in this fight."
"Yes my Queen" all of them kneeled down.
Queen smiles these men are her pride and joy her greatest creation. "Send the men who didn't have a gas mask back inside the cave, they'll serve as reinforcements the rest make preparation to welcome our uninvited guests."
"Yes my Queen all of them shouted."
It's a shame to lose them all but my life is far more important. As long as I'm alive I can always rebuild and create more devoted followers.
She looks at the back of the cave that's the deepest part of the cave a golden door was blocking the way inside. That door can only be accessed by her, not even her most-trusted men can go inside it's the holiest place inside the cave. Of course, there's nothing holy about it, it's just that the door leads to the secret exit in the cave.
"I'm going to meditate don't disturb me. Krista, you are in charge while I meditate."
"Yes, my Queen" Krista keeled.
Queen turn around and enter the golden door. The door is equipped with a biometric scanner so the moment her hand touches the door her biometrics are scanned, the door automatically opened when the scan is completed.
Inside a narrow path that only a single person can walk at a time can be seen. Lights automatically turn on. Like a guiding light, she follows the tunnels and after walking for about 30 meters a small lake can be seen the lake is only about 100 square meters in diameters a small pier can be seen connected to the lake in front of her.
The device being developed by Homura is a portable inflatable submarine that can hold up to 40 people. Unfortunately, Homura takes too long to make it and only a prototype was made. That was what she's trying to retrieve in Homura's building where it was kept, as even though it was only a prototype it can still be used and hold up to 20 people, but too bad the retrieval failed, so now she can only use her one person mini-sub that can only hold 1 person, it is the same model being developed by Homura, she brought this device along with other devices when she escaped HFA special agent HQ.
