BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1495 Bigger Guns
However, can a sword fight against a vehicle?
Especially one that was armoured fully with a barrel right in the middle of it all.
Yes, if War Maidens cannot defeat the Grey Bear Squad's Commander who had decided to seek help from Old Fammet, then what they can do was to overwhelm him with brute force. Obviously, they were not around within the vicinity but were transported via a few helicarriers.
If they were further from Old Fammet's workshop, they would have brazenly lowered the tanks close to Jin and showed him the power of explosive anti personnel firepower. However, the helicarriers pilots knew that Old Fammet had surface to air missiles and they had to be careful transporting the tanks close to the area.
This compounded the fact that Jin and his Grey Bear Squad had managed to down one modern fighter jet plane with just a bullet scares the helicarrier pilots as well since they were not expecting such a formidable enemy looking for Old Fammet. This made the commanders and the higher ups worried about what the Grey Bear Squad could do if they joined hands with him.
So as they placed the tanks down from a distance, Jin could already know what was going to happen if he left them alone. Surely, bringing a tank to kill a man was overkill, but this was what private corpos are all about. Using money to crush someone until they are dead.
What they failed to understand or would never understand was that Jin was unique. Do they think that they could run away especially bringing tanks into the picture? No way. If Jin could enhance his War Maidens to bring down a fighter plane with just a sniper bullet, what can else can they do if they were connected to a surface to air missile guidance system?
"I have my sights on the helicarriers. Providing laser guidance." Yinn said as she finally had something to do other than providing overwatch on the road.
"Captain, I had manually taken over one of the SAM sites. Ready for your command." Click voiced over.
"Captain, I heard that you are taking on tanks now, can you spare some War Maidens for me?" Diaz finally finished her escort and was running out of the workshop with a rocket booster pack strapped behind her. While she could not jump as deftly as Jin, her legs should still be able to do a decent high jump and the rocket boosters would no doubt give her sufficient height to pass through the spike trap.
"As long as you can pass that spike hurdle, don't get yourself killed. I am not going to rebuild you." Jin said as he knelt down to dodge a tank shot that was aiming right at it. The tree several metres away from him got a huge hole with splinters as well as a dead War Maiden that was caught by the attack.
"They are using grape shots. Anti personnel shells." The Tactical System warned and Jin acknowledged the risk.
"I will get it done and over." His Inverse eyes lit up and he charged his sword up with Maqi. As much as he wished to slice the tank into half, he believed that the sword he had would not be able to withstand such an attack and will definitely break either half way or once Jin had finished slicing the tank into two. Still, that meant that he would have two shots to do so before relying on the conventional slaying of tanks by throwing grenades into the interior.
"If I am that confident to throw my grenade into the tank's barrel. Hahaha!" Jin said as he started moving and saw that Diaz had already reached to contact the enemy War Maidens at the east. She was not giving those War Maidens any mercy as she followed Jin's aggressiveness and ran as close as she could to shoot the War Maiden's head off with her shotgun. As if one was not enough, she had brought another shotgun to increase her versatility in killing the War Maidens. (Those rocket boosters were helping a lot as well.)
But the main show was Click and Yinn as Jin on the sidelines activated their code boosts to increase processing capabilities so that they could manually override the SAMs out of their limited range and guide them to the slower moving helicarriers.
The first SAM flew off, causing the helicarrier pilots to panic initially as there were no missile lock signals since the Grey Bear War Maidens were manually guiding the SAM and their flares were not working as intended as they tried to evade it. A huge explosion was heard over Jin's head marking the first helicarrier kill they could get.
While they were merely support units, Jin felt that destroying them would no doubt hurt Private Corpo's wallet and their budget. Surely they could afford these few helicarriers that were capable to bring tanks into battle with ease but why avail them of such options again when Jin could destroy them.
These caused the helicarriers to scamper away but with one successful kill, Yinn and Click continued to hunt those down and even requested Jin to enhance the SAMs which they know it was possible with the uniqueness of his code boosts.
But instead of bothering the Captain, the Tactical System took charge of those requests and caused the missiles that Click was prepping to have an additional secondary booster at the side, allowing for better manoeuvrability and range.
"Heh heh! Goodbye Helicarriers! Hello Killstreak!" Click incidentally licked her lips as she was given the go ahead by Yinn to fire the subsequent missile.
It was definitely a brilliant field day for the Grey Bear Engineer.
