Chapter-19: The Expedition to Thin Out the Horde, and Meeting Rentaro Satomi [1]
———————————————————\\\\\\\\\\\
3rd POV | Outside District 32 Monolith |
The Seitenshi's plan of hiding the matter of the swarm didn't work as rumours quickly spread..
The news of a Gastrea leading a horde of Gastrea to Tokyo quickly spread, provoking mass hysteria, but was promptly calmed down by the JSDF reminding them about the protection of the Varanium Monoliths.
Now, the mobilization of the Promoters and the JSDF are upfront to give the citizens a sense of protection and ease the panicking people.
Bam—!!! Bam—!!! Bam—!!! Bam—!!! Dan—!!! Grrrnnn—!!! Vrooom—!!!
The sound of heavy marching resounded through all the districts of Tokyo. The heavy marching was also matched by big M1A1 Abram Tanks—Which was bought in the re-arming of Japan— rolling through the concrete road along with Armored Transport Vehicles and Troop trucks in between the armored behemoths filled with soldiers, firm-willed and ready for war against these Gastrea once again.
Booom—!!! Whoooosh—!!!
Another machine of war entered the stage, it was 4 F22 Raptor Fighter Jets flying in formation, loaded with Varanium bullets for their cannons and Varanium steel for their missiles. These jets fought for every bit of the land and the sky together with the Japanese Ground Self Defense Forces, their comrades that bled for the piece of soil that people is standing on.
The JSDF doesn't have any missile trucks or missile silos because all of them were used at the 1st and 2nd Gastrea War. Even though they have the technology to create them, they don't have enough resources to make them.
And also, through the use of their limited helicopters, They observed the leader of these Gastrea... When Kikujou saw the picture of the Gastrea, he immediately had Vietnam flashbacks, He remembered this monster...It was called the Right-Hand of Taurus, one of the 11 Zodiac Beasts, the Commander of Gastrea, it's name was Aldebaran...
Taurus and Aldebaran terrorized the continents in the East with their endless hordes of Gastrea in the Early Parts of the Great Gastrea War. They caused massive casualties in the Great War scarring people from their terror, and even Kikujou feared this monster.
Aldebaran, who was named after the brightest star in the Taurus Constellation, was a semi-intelligent Gastrea like a lion, and is able to command and strategize the movements of it's massive pheromone-controlled swarms.
The movement of the swarm led by Aldebaran remained unclear, Even with the safety of the Monoliths, the Seitenshi and her adjutants were still cautious, they didn't know why this ancient Gastrea behemoth showed itself to the world again.
The mobilization moved quickly and swiftly because there was nothing that hindered it. Now the Promoters are being sent out in droves for Kill Missions to try and slow and thin out the swarm, including all the members of Cassell Agency.
***********
In the Cassell Agency building, through the hallways of the underground passage of the building, is an armory.
If we look around, we can see that various armaments like guns, swords, spears, halberds, and many more was neatly arranged like a proper armory.
The members of Cassell Agency were all suiting up, polishing their blades, and cleaning their weapons to get ready.
Kachk-! Chiing-!
Akari cocked the bolt of her Barrett 50.cal as a fully-intact bullet flew out, she caught it easily and swiftly out of the air, confirming that the bolt was working. Ichika was sharpening her blade, as well as Himiko equipping Varanium greaves that had sharp claws like Beowulf from DmC, allowing for better feet grip for better mobility and more cutting damage to kill a Gastrea faster.
Honoka was wearing heavy Varanium greaves too, she wanted to use one of the most essential and powerful essence in nature, that is-...
-Gravity!
She would use the natural advantage of being a Dolphin-type Initiator to her full advantage. She would use gravity to get more kinetic energy, thus creating more stronger kicks and blows.
Dolphin-type Initiators jump higher than the Rabbit-types, but has weaker leg strength compared to their fellows. The more heavier the equipment, the better, because they could gather more force if they had heavier weapons.
The atmosphere was quite tense, however they also felt a touch of companionship. The mission they were going to was extremely deadly, but no matter, they needed to do it, for the sake of the children and innocent people living here.
************
After suiting up and readying their gear, they went to the meeting plaza of the expedition. When they arrived there, they saw countless Promoters and their Initiators from various different agencies.
"It seems like there are many people who took this job degozaru"
"Yeah, the reward is too much for them to turn down this offer"
The Promoters and Initiators were like mercenaries, and their agencies are mercenary centers, they hire and give missions to Promoters.
"kuhuhm!, Everyone be quiet!"
Commander Gado, the commander of Promoters and the one who founded the Promoter leaderboard, spoke in a deep, intimidating tone full of urgency and order.
Commander Gado was the leader of this expedition and he was also the one who proposed it in the first place. Gado was an excellent strategist by leading the Promoters efficiently and has a very good eagle's eye view for the whole battlefield along with his charismatic aura, he was an excellent leader.
Soon, the all the Promoters in the plaza was listening intently, Gado started introducing his plan. The plan was this; There would be a forest that blocks the way of the swarm, so they would make three narrow paths to slow the swarm down and kill any drones or any Gastrea that tried to go through, and by splitting them up, there would be less burden and avoid massive coordinated attacks from the Gastrea.
It would be like how the 300 Spartans fought in a valley, allowing for a narrow and tight passage with the advantages of not being flanked, reducing the number of enemies that the soldiers had to fight one at a time, and very easy to defend. They also placed a second line of defense consisting of the remaining JSDF Forces to pick off any strays or any Gastrea that somehow managed to slip through.
The battle will be a long battle of attrition to see which side collapses first. While the swarm is distracted with the defenders, other elite Promoters who proved themselves capable, will be sent to the back of the swarm and launch "Beheading Operations" to try and kill all the Level 3 Gastreas, or the elites of Aldebaran's army, and even possibly Aldebaran itself.
