Attacking the fortress (3)
Giving up on resolving Felix’s misunderstanding and turning his head, other people’s words continue.
As a result of carrying out and experiencing this operation in different places, there was too much information to exchange.
“There are two classified facilities relocated inside the satellite city of Delta: an artificial meat culture facility and a nuclear fission reactor.”
“The mobile fortress is located near the coordinates of the nuclear reactor facility. They’re probably planning to recharge the fort’s power source in the vicinity.”
“How about attacking the reactor itself and destroying the mobile fortress?”
“It is difficult. In fact, it would be like a double suicide, and it wouldn’t be easy to blow up the reactor itself. Even if it is a relocated facility, there will be dozens of safety devices.”
It was a brilliant idea, but the investment cost was too high and the risk was even greater.
“In the end, is it just dealing directly with the generals…? … .”
“If Lieutenant General Treffen dies, control of the fort will pass to the other wardens in turn. If we kill all the generals, there will be a temporary vacuum in the chain of command.”
“I guess we can take advantage of that gap and seize the fortress where this side inherits authority.”
“As it is military equipment, it must have a built-in self-destruct sequence in case of an emergency. Even if you activate the sequence and hold the foot so that the lieutenant does not block it, it is a success.”
“Then, isn’t it tantamount to blowing up a nuclear reactor and self-destructing?”
“….”
In the chilly atmosphere, Pallad quickly cleared his throat and tried to deal with it.
“It’s just that there is a way. The important thing is to move with that kind of determination and make sure the operation succeeds. If you don’t have this kind of flexibility, how can we work together?”
“….”
“But what bothers me is that these two relocation facilities are not the only ones located in this neighborhood.”
Palad slightly turned his head and changed the topic.
“Among the information retrieved from the archives of Area 6, this area was particularly missing. There are two more unidentified relocation facilities in the nearby desert surrounding the satellite city of Delta. It would be nice if you could check that far… … .”
“Time is running out. The mobile fortress will move as soon as the power source is charged in the reactor.”
Hina said with a calm expression.
“When a mobile fort starts to advance, it becomes extremely difficult to secure an entry route by itself. We have to finish here.”
Just because the fortress turns and moves directly, the entry route that can be assumed from this side becomes extremely narrow.
In fact, there is only one way to get on the side and rear of the advancing fortress, but in the process, a composition that is too easy to be shot down by the forces that went into the operation is created.
Now, when I started charging the power source near the reactor, it was actually the best opportunity.
“…I guess so.”
Palad’s expression is somewhat unclear.
It’s like forcing yourself to say something you want to say.
Instead of passing it off as if it were no big deal, Lennok kept it in his memory and stepped forward.
“Then, let’s organize a team to enter the mobile fortress and start the operation.”
Lennok said, turning the hologram map on the strategy table with a simple gesture.
A three-dimensional map of the satellite city Delta contained in the data of the Urban Expansion Development Plan.
And the appearance of a mobile fortress with a huge area half the size of a satellite city nearby.
Lennok, who amplified the entire map in an instant by bouncing his magic, set three blue arrows in front of the three-dimensional map.
“There are three entry routes. We start the attack when we succeed in approaching 3km around the fort.”
At the same time as the calm gaze scanned the crowd, the son-in-law became quiet.
Lennok gave a sharp laugh and turned his head.
“It’s not that complicated, so you’ll have to follow along.”
* * *
Short break given after the operation briefing.
Considering the schedule that Lennok and Palad put their heads together, this is practically the last time to take a breather.
It was a tight schedule for Lennok, who had been running for more than half a day in the command vehicle, but he had no intention of complaining.
Click!
Opening the case from inside the coat, he took out a new cigarette and bit it.
The roof of a collapsed building with a clear view of the satellite city.
Lennok, perched between the railings, peeked out at the ground with a cigarette in his mouth.
Lennok, who had a hard time even climbing the stairs, had a reason to come all the way up here.
Fortunately, I was able to find the familiar golden hair not far away.
Talk about the agreed entry route with Hina is in full swing. The work for Lennok is also work, but she also has no intention of neglecting this operation.
It was only after confirming Aris’ appearance that Lennok reached out into his arms.
“Dabi.”
[Human life is really annoying.]
The fox cub crawled out from the inside of the coat on Lennok’s arm and stretched out.
[Why are you so interested in other people?]
“Do you want to discuss the social life of spirits and humans?”
Lennok asked, pulling various items from inside his coat.
“It’s an interesting topic, but I don’t have that much time right now. I need your strength.”
Gearside is at the forefront of magical engineering research. And the opponent is that gigantic mobile fortress itself.
Of course, the Gearside side would have put some effort into remodeling the mobile fortress.
A situation where he has already confirmed that Darby’s power works against a combatant in Gearside once.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that the cyber spirits could play an active role in this matter.
“Theft of mobile fortress control. would that be possible?”
It’s not just that Lennok is asking Wah Darby these things.
It is because, as a fellow elementalist, I have guessed to some extent that the brain spirit is at a crossroads through my recent experience.
Even the data of the artificial meat breeding facility that Gearside directly touched, and Colonel Billen who received the physical modification of Gearside combatant disguised as Lundel.
Darby’s growth, which has been in direct or indirect contact with Gearside’s network and data beyond the existing magical engineering level, is progressing too steeply.
Perhaps the fact that he has been talking a lot lately is part of that growth.
And Lennok was well aware that now, having narrowly expanded his experience and scope, things beyond common sense might become possible.
It is a spirit created by Lennok himself, and not by anyone else.
If there is an existence that has inherited that genius in its most perfect form, who is it other than his spirit?
[I guess I’ll know after I’ve made direct contact with the fortress system’s central circuit,]
Darby replied.
[The system network mounted on a strategic weapon of that scale is very closed, so it would be difficult to touch it unless it interferes with the circuit through direct contact.] “Any
other obstacles?”
[Even after infiltrating the central circuit, it takes time to bypass all firewalls and cheat and control access rights… … . It won’t last long even if you get the authority like that.]
Darby’s words were unstoppable, as if he had predicted Lennok’s thoughts in advance.
[Military weapons above a certain level are designed to go through a decision review process in every sequence every time they move. Even if you have bypassed the firewall once, the system will be blocked immediately if an abnormality is detected the moment you issue a command. but….]
“But?”
[With Master’s help, this will never be impossible.]
A final word with calm conviction.
It showed the trust of this spirit who had been with Lennok for a considerable amount of time.
Lennok smiled and gently stroked Darby’s hair.
“You’ve grown a lot. I learned how to flatter like that.”
[I referred to the 100 words to make my boss feel good, was it okay?]
“….”
[It’s a joke. Joke.]
It’s a bit different from what Lennok expected, but it’s not bad that Darby is becoming a bit more human.
I didn’t know what it meant that the Brain Spirit’s temperament resembled a human rather than a machine, but apart from that, Lennok liked Darby very much.
A strange tick-tick personality and an active interest in humans. A heart that secretly cares for Lennok while pretending not to have certain abilities in his specialty field.
The spirit always hiding in Lennok’s coat was definitely a good companion, if not just for its ability.
“The problem will depend on how much I can support you. How far can the Spirit Spells work? … .”
[If I had studied with her for a little longer, there would have been tangible results
. If that’s the case, I might not have been able to grow by omitting Gearside’s data like this.”
[Yes. You won’t be able to touch the fortress system without analyzing the technical skills of those machines.]
Because they absorbed some of the research achievements on sorcery engineering, which were so high that they were superior, they could at least try to break through the internal control system of the fortified fortress.
Both Lennok and Darby knew very well the fundamental reason why thoughts could reach this far.
Lennok, lost in thought, slowly raised his head.
“Let’s try it.”
[…] … Will it be okay?]
“I thought it was too early, but…. You never know when an opportunity like this will come again.”
Lennok, who had been exposed to various knowledge while studying elemental magic with Aris, understood when spirits grow.
Mental growth that greatly broadens the horizon of existence itself by facing environments and experiences that cannot be reached with one’s own abilities.
It must have happened because the spirit body itself is closer to the realization of the will embodied in mental power than a physical entity.
In that sense, even this moment may be a great opportunity for Darby.
Even if it is somewhat overbearing for Lennok, expanding Darby’s abilities now and broadening his direction will be of great help in the future.
Being convinced of that, Lennok did not hesitate.
Darby gulped and said.
[If I don’t wake up… … . Please bury the toad house in a place where it can look down on people as much as possible.]
“You’ve become honest with your desires.”
Lennok smiled and said.
“But if I thought it was dangerous, I wouldn’t even try.”
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee girl
At that moment, an achromatic wave rose from Lennok’s hand and began to rotate small.
“Because you are my partner.”
Lennok looked down at the glow of the grouped and spinning waves and slowly brought it towards Darby.

Satellite City Delta. 4 a.m.
The time when you can’t see properly because you’re wrapped in fog and darkness.
The supermen, who finished their preparations without even breathing, began to disappear through the fog of the city one by one.
There are three entry routes to attack the mobile fortress located at the rear of the satellite city.
As each starting point is different, it is necessary to reserve a seat before the final time.
The operation starts at 5:00 AM, an hour later.
The time of day when you are most likely to get tired just before dawn.
There are not so many options for this side, which is relatively pushed out of the number of heads.
It is a situation that should be considered fortunate just by being able to start the attack from this side.
Lennok smoked a cigarette, watching his partners disappear ahead of him, then stood up.
The last operation is ahead, but I just changed it to a handmade product that has a stronger effect from the tobacco I used to smoke.
From the beginning, I had no intention of going in with a lot of doping.
The reason why Lennok was able to forcibly improve his condition by inhaling ampoules, all kinds of elixir, painkillers, and tobacco was possible because the opponent and the place he had to fight were clearly defined.
However, this time, only one objective was clearly set, relatively speaking, to attack the fortress.
A situation in which neither the time nor the location of the battle could be properly specified, except for the handling of Lieutenant General Treffen.
During the operation, it was necessary to reserve and manage the physical strength in advance as there might be a situation in which it is necessary to draw and use the extra energy.
‘If you think about the amount of remaining drugs and tobacco, fighting with all your might is at best twice. My body can’t stand any more than that.’
Even if it is an ordinary firepower fighter, one-on-one combat with a high-ranking superman is a forced march that eats up enormous mental strength and nerves even for Lennok.
Even if you get rid of it with medicine once and endure it, your life will be in danger from the second dose.
It wouldn’t be strange if he left before he met Trepen, as long as he didn’t step out after thoroughly choosing when and where to project his power.
In the meantime, he has arbitrarily chosen the moment when he can move and fight thoroughly alone, but it must be difficult in a large-scale operation in which a large number of big players participate like now.
I was given special consideration for it, but even so, I had to be careful.
While Lennok was chewing on the tobacco and thinking about this and that, he heard a familiar voice behind him.
“What are you doing here alone?”
Aris was looking up at Lennok with her head slightly tilted.
“….I was thinking about what to do. I tend to review the situation in my head beforehand.”
“It’s not long before the operation begins.”
“I’ll be right there.”
“….”
she didn’t answer Lennox was also silent.
A contradictory situation in which each other waits for each other’s answer.
It was Aris who turned her attention first.
“I learned a lot in completing the hierarchy.”
She followed Lennok’s gaze and looked down at the ground before opening her mouth.
“I knew I needed to wait rather than fret to find the answers I was looking for.”
“yes?”
“The generals of the National Guard must have known that at one time…. Those are the words of a person who has lost his way.”
“….”
Alice’s blue eyes calmly sank.
“Let’s try to do well with each other in this strategy.”
Aris left only those words and turned around.
Lennok stared at her back for a moment, then looked over her head.
The dull darkness is gone and the day is getting brighter little by little.
Dawn was breaking.
* * *
Five o’clock in the morning. operation start.
The teams, who had settled in the promised positions, started running at the same time according to the clock set on time.
ride on ride!!!
Three of the entry routes assumed in this mobile fortress attack operation. The root is:
Access through the vicinity of the main roads of satellite cities secured in advance.
Internal infiltration through the basement of the reactor.
A raiding force going around the city and stabbing into the rear of the fort.
[Don’t stop!! Step on the accelerator!!]
[Break through the barrier!! Stick behind the barricade!!]
[Check the landing point, display it on the HUD. If you don’t want to die, avoid it on your own!!!]
Quaaaaaaaaaa!!!
Shouts and explosions resound non-stop through the wireless earphones worn in your ears.
You can guess how fierce the battle between the other two entry routes is.
‘Originally, I wanted to make the entry route much more complicated than this, but… … .’
As long as there is a limit to the number of available power on this side, that is impossible.
No matter how much you think about it, this strategy was the best thing the moment they recognized each other’s existence in this satellite city.
On the roadside, a freelance unit centered on Aris ties up the main forces of the National Guard.
A group of agents, led by Illya, infiltrate the reactor area.
Lastly, the mercenaries of the Antares office, each with a high level of skill and mobility, quickly run through the desert area outside the city and occupy the back of the fortress.
An intuitive yet simple strategy that can best utilize the specialties of three teams, each equipped with firepower, organizational power, and mobility.
Through this, the purpose is to divert the command’s gaze into three directions and cause confusion in the chain of command.
The important thing is to enter at least one of the three entry routes into the fortress first and help the other routes enter.
It is an attack operation that is impossible unless the breathing of the three teams is elaborately matched.
If it wasn’t for the premise that the palads remaining in the command vehicle could grasp and coordinate all the situations in real time, even an attempt would have been impossible.
If it’s Palad, who led an organization like an agent on behalf of the director, at least he won’t make many mistakes in this operation.
Everything that could be taken care of was taken care of. All that remains now is to observe the situation.
At the same time as the forces of the allies move, the Defense Forces also respond.
The first thing that started to move was a huge mobile fortress that had filled the sky on one side of the satellite city without even moving.
Geeeeeeeeing!!!
Thousands of batteries mounted on the walls of the fortress turned their heads in unison and started warming up their guns in an instant.
As soon as it was confirmed that it came within range of the bombardment, it was ready to fire all bullets.
The strategic weapon, which had been single-handedly maintaining and supporting the outer frontline, spews fire, and at the same time, the dawn sky of the satellite city is covered with hundreds of shooting stars.
Kwagwagwagwagwagwa!!!
“Aaaaaaaaaaa!!!”
“Keep your ranks! Wait for the rear support!!”
“Prepare for shock!!!”
The Freelancers and Agent Defense Forces, who ran through the rain of shells that were pouring without rest, clashed with all their might.
It was the beginning of the mobile fortress attack operation.
And Lennok was walking towards somewhere, not showing up where the confusion was happening.
“….”
Only the explosions heard from far away became intermittent noises and soaked the desolate street.
He raised his head, slightly lowering the volume of the shouting through his earphones.
Pillars of steel filled up in front of my eyes.
The tip of the bridge of a mobile fort that is so high that you can’t see the end if you look closely.
At the far end of the satellite city. Among them, Lennok was standing at the end of the fort support in the most remote place.
The three entry routes mentioned earlier.
A fourth option that doesn’t belong anywhere.
It was the result of all allies present accepting that Lennok was moving alone.
From the very beginning of the fortification plan, Lennok had been estimating the entry into the fort on his own, without cooperating with others.
