Fortress Attack Operation (2)

[It’s according to the location coordinates you gave me. As a result of checking the records left at the facility, it seems that it has already been in operation for over 3 days and has already cultivated artificial meat that is close to cloth. When we arrived, they were already cutting out living flesh as if they were human beings.]

“I understand. Was there anything special about it?”

[…] … I don’t know if I understood it correctly, but it seems that he intended to use it as a slaughter doll by inserting artificially set battle data into the brain of this cultivated artificial body

.

[To think that those who defended the Balkan defense line had fallen this far… … It’s so pitiful.

]

Hearing those words, the colonel distorted his hardened face and began to howl madly.

After being completely penetrated by the super vibrating spear, did he still have the strength to resist that much?

However, Lennok could understand the colonel’s thoughts to some extent.

Shame, humiliation, disgrace, lost honor, and honor and disgrace. All for one purpose.

But even so, pity is intolerable.

It was proof that they were just traitors who had already given up everything, unable to attach any meaning to what they had done so far.

The appearance of the colonel reaching out his hand while frantically struggling even with his body where the internal organs and blood vessels were crushed.

The moment Lennok stared blankly at him.

Awesome!

Illya, who was standing next to her, cut the colonel’s head cleanly like a flash war with her spear.

The superman’s body, which has already lost its fighting ability, is severed to the point of futility and tumbles to the ground.

Everyone in this place silently expressed their condolences at the end of a soldier who once defended their city.

Aris, who was watching him from the side with her arms crossed, asked.

“Would it have worked?”

“Certainly.”

Palad replied.

“It’s not that I haven’t put the Antares mercenaries on the front for nothing. The most elite armed group with a moderate temperament, but each member is of a high level… … . In order to use that power most effectively, the method Ban thought of was the best.”

It wasn’t that Dylan and Mila were suddenly busy with work that prevented them from helping Lennox all this time.

Rather, Lennok persuaded the Antares office, which was about to take up a position at Mayer’s call, and kept his activities thoroughly secret.

As long as they recognized that the purpose of the Defense Forces Command was not simply inside the city, it was necessary to hide a trump card to reverse the situation on this side as well.

And Lennok’s plan worked just fine.

As soon as he obtained the information on the location of the artificial meat breeding facility moved from the closed area, he dispatched a mercenary raiding force centered on the bird-headed giant Felix.

At the same time as attracting attention from this side, it succeeded in destroying the culture facility with a diversion operation.

It is not difficult to destroy the plan itself, as long as the Defense Forces Command and Gearside recognize that the reason they have been collecting battle data of freelancers inside the city is to supplement new manpower by fostering artificial humans through artificial meat cultivation.

The important thing is just how efficiently you can work in the process to minimize losses.

It would have been impossible if it hadn’t been for the mercenary’s infiltration operation that tricked even our allies.

[It’s not without losses on this side,]

Felix said in a slightly lowered voice.

[Ban] As you said, some of the gearside combatants were managing the facility. It would have been dangerous if the National Guard’s nerves hadn’t been focused there.]

“I know. From now on, things won’t be as easy as they were just now.”

As Lennok replied, he slowly turned his gaze toward the sky beyond the satellite city.

“In the end, if we can’t attack that, everything we’ve done so far will be meaningless.”

Whoooooooo!!

As the Antares mercenaries blow up the artificial meat breeding facility, the hot wind blows away the fog that has filled the city.

What appeared from the other side of the clearing fog was not a clear sky, but a formidable steel fortress.

Woooooo!!

Everyone holds their breath as the appearance of the mobile fortress that has arrived at the outermost edge of the satellite city begins to be revealed.

The majesty of the fortress, which had thousands of guns aimed at the ground while blocking the sky above the outskirts of the city, was overwhelming as if it had nothing to do with the fall of the defense forces.

It is only now that all preparations are beginning to be made to deal with strategic weapons in which all the forces of the National Defense Force are compressed.

* * *

In a dark room where even the direction and altitude cannot be determined.

The old man’s expression slightly distorted as he turned his gaze away from the scenery overlooking the window.

“Villen… … Did you die?”

[I don’t know the name.]

Beyond the heterogeneous communication mixed with mechanical sounds.

An emotionless voice replied.

[Anyway, it is true that the troops blocking the way into the satellite city were wiped out, and at the same time, the cultivation facility located in the rear right was destroyed.] “

… … .”

[In the process, our side who managed the culture facility suffered considerable damage. Part of the numbering that managed the data you collected was damaged.]

“… … Right.”

[Lieutenant General Treffen, how are you going to take responsibility for this damage?]

A gray-haired old man with a sharp look.

Lieutenant General Treppen, who was the supreme decision maker of the headquarters and the position of Lieutenant General of the Defense Forces, who had the outer front under his hand.

But now, I just sit in the command room of the mobile fortress and watch and listen to the current situation.

Since when did things become like this? I don’t know now why I was the only one who fell behind like this.

Except for the fact that by the time this position he so longed for was his own, everything was already too late.

The reduction and collapse of the National Guard was unstoppable.

He thought it was inevitable that his subordinates decided to retire and leave the military.

However, he could not bear the fact that this seat he had worked so hard to obtain was fading.

That is why they did not refuse their outstretched hand.

Even if he completely betrayed the values he had kept, the status of the headquarters had to be maintained.

Because that is the only way to prove that his time devoted to the military was not wasted.

[I think it’s time to review the last proposal we gave you.] If the

hard mechanical voice sounded like a sweet temptation, would it be an illusion?

[Lieutenant General Treppen. With your will, this whole situation can be dramatically reversed.]

“… … .”

[Don’t you know how much effort we put into preparing for this job? It won’t take long. there will be no pain But that wish will last forever.]

Only then did Treffen understand why they were nicknamed the Machine Church despite not having the form of a religion.

A proposal from a superhuman who obtained perfect intellect and wisdom through magical engineering research.

The offer, which I thought was not even worth considering when I first received it, is now starting to sound like more reasonable and rational advice than anything else.

Treffen’s head tilted very slowly.

Only then did the voice begin to emanate something other than conveying a message for the first time.

[yes… … . I knew I couldn’t refuse. You will be able to become one with your symbol that you have longed for so much.]

The scenery of a heavy mobile fortress was faintly reflected behind Trepen, who lowered his head.

* * *

Immediately after occupying the road leading to the center of the satellite city, the party immediately entered into a brief meeting.

In the meantime, communication was not easy due to the magnetic storm that raged nearby.

The moment this amount of forces gathered in one place, it was necessary to explain the operation and move as quickly as possible.

“Five high-ranking people. Dozens of level 6 military powers. There are hundreds of battle-hardened veterans and agents.”

Palad spat out grandiose words with a face without even a hint of inspiration.

“It’s the first time since I started wearing ties that I’ve been commanding an army of superhumans of this size. It’s not enough, but I’ll do my best.”

“Stop talking nonsense and get to the point.”

Hina cut off his nonsense with a cold face. Palad, who had licked his lips, corrected himself again.

“It’s fortunate that Ban’s plan worked and narrowed down the targets to one. Originally, we would have had to divide our forces to attack the artificial meat breeding facility and the mobile fortress at the same time.”

In the previous battle, the Antares mercenary corps had not a few achievements in destroying the cultivation facilities.

In the meantime, it was not enough to overshadow the activities of the Defense Force’s spy unit, which had been secretly moving inside the city, and in fact, it was no different than blocking the possibility of further expansion of the Defense Force’s power.

It was very meaningful to reduce two positive variables to the opposing side in the mobile fortress attack operation.

“Since I deliberately left the colonel alive and told him the story, related information must have flowed to Command and Gearside.”

Hina fixed her glasses and answered.

“If we realized that we had obtained the location information of the relocated facility in the closed area, we wouldn’t be able to recklessly divert power there either.”

“All that’s left is to continue to squeeze into the satellite city from now on and narrow the battlefield.”

Lennok nodded as he rubbed the leftover tobacco.

“The narrower the battlefield, the less room for mobile fortresses to play. Reduce the range where firepower can be projected to a minimum and directly deal with the generals of the National Guard to gain control of the fortress.”

National Guard coup.

Its core is the mobile fortress itself, which projects enough firepower to establish and maintain a single front with just its existence.

Without the presence and firepower of a fort, even the requirements of the National Defense Command to hold the citizens of the Balkans hostage would not have much meaning.

Naturally, it becomes possible to block Gearside’s plan to cooperate with the command.

“If we put aside the scattered defense forces near the satellite city and think about it, there are three things we need to do right away.”

Lennok raised his pen over the operation table that had been taken out of the command vehicle.

“How to access the mobile fortress, how to take control of it, and… … .”

“It must be a matter of how to deal with the generals of the headquarters.”

Aris answered naturally.

She met Lennok’s gaze and continued.

“As is known, there are as many as three major generals who have reached the rank of senior, including Lieutenant General Treppen… … If you take into account the power on the gear side, this side will be inferior.”

“It’s okay not to worry.”

The bird-headed giant Felix, who was standing with his arms crossed, spoke in a heavy voice.

“I don’t know about the others, but Gyeon-roe and I are well versed in this kind of thing. It’s about two old ladies, so it’s possible to deal with them alone.”

Felix said that and naturally looked towards Aris.

“Rather, I hope that Professor Richellen will fall into the rearguard and use his strength to support our forces.”

“… … That’s a word you can’t get away with.”

Aris raised her blue eyes and met Felix’s gaze.

In an instant, sharp tension ran between the two.

“I have no intention of retreating to safety alone while others are on the battlefield. From the time I joined the operation, I was expecting a battle with the generals.”

“It doesn’t mean that. It’s all about efficiency.”

Despite Aris’ words, Felix shook his head leisurely.

“Among those gathered here, except for Ban and you, there is no one capable of providing fire support from the rear. At least Donovan has done a great job building the front line, but it won’t mean much to monsters around level 7.”

“… … .”

Everyone around me listened to the giant’s words, which sank comfortably while riding the current.

“After the meeting, we will try to enter the fort, but it is also true that we need a battery that can monitor the situation from behind and provide fire support. Am I wrong?”

“That means… … .”

“If possible, I’d like to prepare for a variable with Ban and you both in the back row, but given our forces, it’s impossible to leave that much leeway. At least, wouldn’t it be right to put Gong-roe, who has worked with us, in the front line?”

Just as Lennok and the National Guard destroyed the power of the main road, someone needs to use strength from the rear while scattering firepower over a wide area.

In fact, Aris would not be unaware of this fact either.

However, the reason why she insists that she can now join the front line and directly participate in battle-

“If it weren’t for the professor, Ban would have had to play that role after all. Thanks to Professor Richellen’s joining, we have more room to play both front and back.”

“… … all right.”

After listening to the calm Felix’s persuasion, Aris eventually stepped back.

“Once the operation begins, we try to focus on rear fire support. However, I will proceed with the judgment of the situation on my own and cooperate.”

“Until that point, it is not my area to interfere. It never meant that I did not trust the professor’s judgment.”

Felix’s words and actions, which gently backed down and supported Aris until the end, clearly showed the image of a manager who led the Antares office from within.

While Lennok was inwardly admiring, Felix stepped back and winked at Lennok.

“Are you good?”

“… … What do you mean?”

“You seem to want to fight in front of Bonama, so I tried my hand in advance. If you do this, that professor won’t fight in front of you instead.”

“… … .”

“Before I saw you, I heard a lot of stories about you here and there. I didn’t know you were a person who enjoyed fighting so much.

Felix seemed to have a strange misunderstanding, to the extent that he had no idea where to begin to answer.

Felix patted Lennok’s shoulder, his mouth slightly open with his tobacco in his mouth.

“Don’t worry, I’ll take care of you even now, as long as the companies have a partnership.”

Darby murmured in his arms while watching Felix’s back as he walked away.

[I thought he was a smart person, but there must be a reason he has a bird’s head.]

“… … I told you not to say that.”

Lennok chose not to mention that he had similar feelings.
