Chapter 489: Pursuers Behind

"It's always like this! Always rushing ahead by himself! When can we take the lead for once!?"

Watching Renault jump down without hesitation, C96 spoke with a hint of annoyance.

She had just replaced the power armor on the ship today; even though it was only CF05, now it seemed like she wouldn't have much chance to shine.

"Stop thinking about it. Going down is definitely not an option. Just dealing with those Sangvis Ferri armored units is headache enough for us, not to mention adding the military's droid units. We probably won't last until the end of the operation once we go down." BM59 shook her head.

It wasn't that they were not capable, nor that they couldn't defeat those Sangvis Ferri and military dolls. It's just that dealing with these armored units required much more energy than dealing with ordinary Sangvis Ferri infantry.

Moreover, the Sangvis Ferri and military dolls down there all had close-range commanders, whose reaction speed was not comparable to those Sangvis Ferri near the Griffin Base. It wasn't realistic to treat them as easy targets like before.

Consequently, they would need to use more energy to operate the power armor and their own bodies...

"Oh, what a headache. But didn't the Commander install some experimental engine on AR15 before? I wonder when it'll be our turn." SPAS-12 touched her forehead, sighing helplessly.

Vector didn't say anything, but she checked her grenade launcher in her hand and inspected the incendiary grenades in the magazine. Meanwhile, HK416 checked her grenade reserves. Although the armored units of Sangvis Ferri and the military were armored, the frag damage from grenades was still more effective against such large numbers of enemies than rifles alone.

However, just as they replenished their ammunition, if they relied on these supplies and engaged the enemies below, Renault's expensive ammunition would likely be depleted again.

Thinking of this, HK416 looked at the folding axes on the power armor of everyone and then at the demolition axe that SPAS-12 had been holding.

Considering everything, she didn't expect that melee weapons like these would be more cost-effective for them now... Is the era going back to medieval times with this?

Watching the two guns in her hand and the two guns hanging on her body, HK416 shook her head, dispelling the distractions in her mind, and looked towards Renault who was gliding in the sky.

"Wow! Who would have thought that Commander's coat could be used like this? How did he glide so far?"

M14, who had also come to the door at this time, asked while watching Renault gradually approaching M4A1 and SOP2 in the sky.

"I don't know about that, but it's probably related to the Commander's miraculous ability, what's it called again?" Nagant Revolver said, turning to ask MG3 beside her.

"The Force?"

"No, no, no, it's not a movie character. It's psionic energy! Or maybe psychic power! How did you remember it as the Force? Have you been watching movies with G11 too often?" M1911 shook her head helplessly.

"Is that so? I haven't seen the Commander use it before."

"He has! We used it a couple of days ago when we went to that black market stronghold! I saw it with my own eyes! The Commander caught that crossbow bolt at the last moment! Then, unexpectedly, the bolt exploded! It burst right in the Commander's hand! Guess what happened next?" Nagant Revolver gestured with her arm excitedly, making her movements somewhat ridiculous in the powered armor.

Without waiting for others to ask questions or for Nagant Revolver to reveal the answer, P38 beside her directly intervened.

"Why bother asking? The Commander is fine and dandy, isn't he? Not even a scratch."

"Hey! P38! Let me finish, will you?"

Watching the doll group chatting lively here, HK416 nudged G11, who was about to fall asleep. Most of her time was spent in the training room, not necessarily for training, but she treated the simulated scenarios in the training device as games.

It had to be said that this girl did have talent in combat. If it were another doll, even if they were playing, let alone sitting in the training device for a whole day, they might not be able to endure it.

...

"Hold on a bit longer! SOP2! We'll soon shake off those Sangvis Ferri pursuers behind!" Watching the dense forest ahead, M4A1 couldn't help but relax a bit.

Just a little further ahead was the military-controlled area. Although the military didn't directly attack Sangvis Ferri, as long as Sangvis Ferri units intruded into the military-controlled area and were discovered, they would definitely face the military doll's head-on attacks.

Although leading trouble away like this seemed somewhat unscrupulous, they didn't have many other options now.

To completely shake off those relentless Sangvis Ferri pursuers, they needed to rely on the military's help.

Moreover, as long as they crossed the boundary of the military-controlled area, they should be able to completely escape from Sangvis Ferri's surveillance zone.

Then they could contact the Commander and have headquarters send helicopters or a support team to pick them up from this area.

"M4, I have a bad feeling. The recent artillery strikes seem to be coming from the military positions, right?"

Whether it was a beast's intuition or sensing something wrong with the atmosphere around them, SOP2 reminded M4A1 with a serious expression.

"It's probably the military providing artillery support. After all, there are too many Sangvis Ferri units. If they don't take action, the Griffin's doll squad won't be able to hold on."

M4A1 didn't speculate, nor did she think that the artillery strikes might be targeting the heads of the Griffin's dolls.

Their cooperation with the military had always been good. The military was responsible for guarding important transportation routes, while Griffin was responsible for the security of large civilian areas. The military had even entrusted missions to Griffin before.

If they were just passing through the edge of the military-controlled area... it shouldn't cause any serious problems... probably...

"Where are you going?"

Just as the two were sprinting towards the invisible boundary line on the map, a ghostly voice suddenly sounded from behind them!

"M4! Watch out!" Hearing the voice, SOP2, unable to turn back in time, directly pushed M4A1 in front of her!

Clang!

The hastily raised gun barrel was directly shattered by the sudden force! The scattered parts and fragments, along with SOP2's arm, were thrown out together!
