Ep. 106
'I heard it was a small encampment.'
As the dead pilot said, the size of the camp wasn't that big.
If you combine the people walking around and the people detected as auxiliary organizations, there were only about 10 people.
The problem was not personnel.
'There's a walker.'
A six-metre-tall open bipedal weapon lay dormant next to the camp tent.
Walker is a robot weapon used by Star Union.
The model currently at the camp is a Light Walker, which is used for reconnaissance and infantry support.
Because it is an open walker, its defense is poor, but since it is equipped with storm guns in both hands, its firepower is enormous.
'There are no cyborgs in the camp.'
A walker can only be controlled if a cyborg rides it and connects the machine and mind with a special device called a brain connector.
Seeing that I could not feel the weak electromagnetic waves unique to cyborgs around me, I thought that the walker had been modified so that people could use it.
In addition, the walker at the camp had a storm gun only on his left hand, and his right arm had been replaced by a crane-like machine. It was probably modified for collecting resources and transporting goods.
'It seems like he was confident when he just attacked.'
A pirate who runs a cult cruiser and even a modified walker.
If you can deploy walkers in a small camp, there will be a lot more walkers in the command center where the leader or assistant leader is located.
Moreover, we still don't know how many more weapons they will have besides these.
'You definitely deserve to be overflowing with confidence.'
With this level of force, they are classified as a top-ranking cartel in the game.
Although it is an enemy, I must admit that it is a strong enemy.
'But that doesn't mean I can't win.'
I summoned a group of tooth fairies and quietly climbed down from the tree.
As we approached the encampment, pirates were standing guard with lights on.
I sent a group of Tooth Fairies to the other side of the pirates and had them make noise.
"hmm?"
The moment he turned his head when he heard a rustling sound.
"Whoop?!"
I grabbed his head with my tentacles and pulled him hard.
Only the gun he was holding lost its owner and remained alone.
"what? "Where has this bastard gone?"
"hey! "Did you go pee?"
After a while, two other pirates approached. I fired a barb of hair at the one standing behind the two.
"100 million?"
While the pirate fell down holding his neck, I approached the other pirate.
"huh? uh?"
The moment he turned around at the sound of footsteps, a bone ax hit him on the shoulder. He was hit by a bone ax and was cut in two.
I stepped into the camp, leaving behind the intense heat rising from the intestines spilled on the floor.
A pirate was sitting grilling meat at a bonfire in the middle of the camp.
He had earphones in his ears and had no idea what was happening behind him.
I approached right behind him, opened my mouth wide, and bit his entire head.
The embarrassed pirate struggled, but his resistance did not last long. A cult pirate walked out of the tent as he crushed the pirate's head alive with a force of his jaw.
"uh?"
"Grrr"
The goat-horned cult just stood there blankly, as if it didn't understand what it was seeing.
I swung my tail while swallowing up the pirate's upper body.
"Kuhuhuh…."
He fell down with a sound of deflation as a thorn stuck in his neck.
"Ugh!"
At that time, a pirate came out of another tent covered in blood with a scream.
While I was clearing out the pirates, the tooth fairies crawled into another tent and attacked the pirates inside.
The pirate, who was bleeding, was scared when he saw me and tried to run away, but the Tooth Fairies did not let him go.
The man-eating fleas jumped up and clung to his back. As dozens of insects rushed at him, he could not bear the weight and fell down.
"Aaaahhh!"
"What kind of bastard is this loud…Ugh?!"
The pirates who heard their comrade's screams all looked out of the tent and were shocked to see the slaughter I had created.
I swallowed the cook pirate and rushed towards the pirate in the tent.
The power carried by the 5-meter-tall body was truly terrifying. The tent was shattered like a pin hit by a bowling ball, and the pirates inside were instantly reduced to mush.
The pirate, who was moving secretly while his colleagues were being torn apart, succeeded in boarding the walker.
"You bastard! "You're screwed now!"
The pirate riding the walker wore unusual equipment. It was similar to a reinforced suit, but only covered the head and chest, and there were several electrical outlet-like devices attached to the back of the neck.
'It looks like it connects to the brain connector.'
That equipment did not exist in the game. It's quite an interesting piece of equipment, but we'll check that out later.
The 6 meter walker stood up and aimed the storm gun at me.
The pirate controlling the walker had a triumphant look on his face.
I'm sure you firmly believe that the depleted uranium bullets loaded into that storm gun will tear me apart.
But his hopes will never come true.
Because the radio waves from the bone plate on my back cut off the walker's electrical signal and stopped it from working.
"uh? "What is it?"
When the walker, which was moving well, collapsed, the pirate shouted in a panicked voice. The effect of the radio jamming didn't last long, so I stretched out my fighting arm and pulled him out of the cockpit.
"Keck!"
He was thrown helplessly to the ground by my hand and vomited blood.
I wanted to leisurely examine the clothes he was wearing, so I paralyzed him with a needle.
"…."
Now the pirate who was left alone was trembling and aiming his gun at me. The weapon he was carrying, in case he was a rich pirate, was a Gauss rifle.
When I turned my head, he pulled the trigger. The tungsten bullet sharply cut through the air and hit my carapace.
Unfortunately for pirates, tungsten bullets can't even scratch my skin. As the tungsten bullet was crushed and fell to the floor, the pirate also opened his mouth wide.
As I approached, he took a step back and sat down. I held the bone ax high.
"sleep…!"
It is rare for someone to survive even with their head split open. After taking out the last pirate, I brought back the Tooth Fairy group.
'There are three people captured alive.'
All the rest were killed.
I gathered all the captured and dead pirates in the center of the campsite.
Since there is no one to contact the main base, they will quickly realize that their colleagues have been harmed on the other side. It will come before the night is over.
'They worked so hard to get here, so I guess I should give them a gift.'
A gift called fear.
–
Originally, there was no concept of class king among space dogs.
Since all races are gathered together, and the leaders of each cartel are often killed, their pride is preserved, so the concept of who serves whom cannot be established.
However, it is a clear fact that superiority and inferiority exist among cartels, so there are cartels that are powerful enough to be close to kings or nobles.
The cartel Humanity that came to the Saintopia 02 continent of planet P-101 was also one of those powerful cartels.
The Humanity Cartel, which is considered to be one of the top five cartels in Space Dog, did not only have an unusual name.
"Boss."
"why?"
"I can't contact you from Camp 21 and Camp 17?"
Assistant Chief Dylan, who was half lying down eating a meat skewer, frowned his handsome eyes at the words of his deputy.
"21 and 17?"
"yes."
"What is that, electronic pom-pom? You know what? Isn't that why?"
"If you're talking about an electromagnetic storm, now is not the time…"
"Fuck you, are you bragging about how smart you are in front of me?"
"Oh no."
When a swear word came straight out of the mouth of the cult vice-chief, a handsome man with a slender appearance, the aide immediately lowered his head.
Dylan opened his mouth while contemplating whether or not to stab his subordinate's head with the skewer he was holding.
"Numbers 21 and 17. "Those are all camps on the outskirts of the jungle."
"That's right."
"There are no dangerous animals there. "Aren't they the remnants of those who were shot down during the day today?"
"I know that too…"
The dealer swallowed the meat skewer and waved his hand.
"Ask the right people to check it."
"This is a wise decision!"
"I know, dude."
The aide bowed his head and came out of the tent.
The light from the huge fire was illuminating the area around the tent where the assistant pastor was staying.
The identity of the fire was not a bonfire. Sainttopia 02 One of Wolf's villages that had existed for hundreds of years on the continent was burning down due to pirates.
"Aaaah!"
"Ugh!"
Pirates made up of cults and humans went around setting fire to traditional houses or pulling out the Wolfs inside.
One peculiar thing was that all of the pirates who were plundering were handsome men who did not match their gangsterism.
"Let the good-looking guys live because we have to take them to the boss!"
"yep!"
"Women, take care of yourself!"
As someone shouted, the pirates captured Wolf, a handsome man, and a child, by putting an electric collar around their neck.
"Hearkheuk guardian deity!"
"Ugh! Please hear our prayers!"
The Wolffs desperately cried out to God even as they suffered from the electric collar.
Originally, the village was not weak enough to suffer such humiliation. This village was one of the villages under the protection of the two guardian gods, who are said to be the 'parents of all things.'
However, the 'Parent of all things' did not answer their prayers for several days.
"They're doing that again."
"Tsk tsk you idiots. "The bitch they call God has already been robbed by the boss."
The pirates guarding the prisoners laughed at the Wolfs.
As they said, the guardian gods who protected the village were defeated by the Humanity Cartel.
The male god known as Father Earth was beheaded by the pirate leader, and the female god known as Mother Sky was currently held captive.
But the pirates didn't say that. Because it was fun to see the Wolfs despairing and relying on vain things.
A pirate approached the deputy aide who was leaving the camp and looking around the looting scene. The subordinate was holding the female Wolff and the young Wolff.
"What should we do with this Wolf bastard?"
"Please save this child!"
"I don't like bosses. Deal with it."
"Wait … Kyaah!"
A pirate killed young Wolff and dragged his mother away.
The leader of the Humanity Cartel is a woman, but she hates women and ugly men so much that she kills them very cruelly.
To the point where it felt like it would be a mercy to be humiliated and burned to death by subordinate pirates.
In fact, the captured Mother of Heaven was being tortured so horribly that even pirates were sick of it.
Of course, it would not be persuasive to tell that fact to Wolff, who lost his child.
Another subordinate approached the deputy aide, who thought he had shown some mercy.
"What does the deputy leader say?"
"Send some kids. "Send the kids who have nothing to do appropriately."
"yes."
The subordinate left and the deputy assistant went back to work.
In order to find prisoners to reward to the boss, I have to wander around diligently until the end of the night.
An hour after the deputy met with Dylan.
Ten heavily armed pirates boarded a transport ship and headed to camp 17.
Eight of the 10 people were wearing intermediate reinforced suits and two were riding walkers. The walkers were equipped with plasma launchers, and all eight members were armed with Gauss rifles.
The level of armament was sufficient to deal with even if a stronger enemy than expected appeared around the camp.
"If we come back, there won't be any kids left for us to eat, right?"
"I guess so. Or eat with other kids."
"Well, it doesn't feel like a corpse anymore."
There were many complaints because all 10 people were semi-forcibly selected, but there was nothing they could do. Because their leader, the deputy leader, had a very cruel disposition.
The transport ship arrived in the sky near Camp 17 and landed in the open space prepared by the pirates in advance.
"Check for biological reactions around you."
"Nothing particularly wrong."
Their transport ships were equipped with bio-scanners similar to those used on warships.
The Humanity Cartel possesses the genetic information of almost all dangerous creatures on this planet. So it was easy to check whether there were any animals that could be dangerous to pirates.
After running the bio scanner once, they decided that the surroundings were safe, so they disembarked and ran to camp 17.
Until then, they had no idea what was happening in the camp. At best, I thought it was a communication failure due to a mechanical breakdown.
However, what awaited them was not a communication failure.
Instead of the warm campfire and the noisy singing of pirates, cold darkness and silence filled Camp 17.
"Is something strange?"
"Where has everyone gone?"
Only then did the pirates realize that something was seriously wrong and began to be wary of their surroundings.
One of the pirates, scanning the camp with the light on his helmet, noticed ominous signs.
"Look at this!"
"What?!"
It was a large amount of blood.
The blood trail in the middle of the campsite continued into the forest.
"Everyone prepare for battle!"
The extremely nervous pirates took up arms. They entered the forest with walkers leading the way.
The blood trail, which seemed to continue continuously, gradually decreased and stopped in front of an old tree.
"Did it fly into the sky?"
"What nonsense. "Carnivorous pterosaurs don't come down around here."
"Yeah, but…huh?"
A drop of water fell on the shoulder of one of the pirates. I thought it was raindrops, but when I wiped it away, it wasn't water.
The palms illuminated by the light on the helmet were covered in blood.
"…."
Everyone's eyes were focused on his palm. He swallowed and slowly turned his head upward.
And on top of that.
There were the 'companions' they were looking for.
"Everyone, contact the deputy pastor immediately!"
"More than that, a transport ship! "Get the transport ships ready first!"
"Transport ship! Respond! "It's an emergency! Fly here now!"
Something that made even the cruelest pirates tremble with fear.
Pirates with their skins removed were hanging from trees.
