RUST -465

Taaaaang!

Thud thud thud!

The sound of gunfire echoes throughout the battlefield.

In the mud that had melted in the leisurely spring breeze, a rusty smell rose red.

7.62mm bullets, grenades, and claymore shells rang out from all sides, but they were not enough to pierce the hides of the giant wolves.

Krrrrrrrr-

Kkaaaak!

“These kids can’t take bullets!”

“50! 50! Support···.”

The cries for the machine gun fell silent, with the occasional long gunshot ringing out.

Kung- koojik-

A heavy lump of iron shook as if it were going to swallow a thick coniferous tree whole, along with the sound of the silence breaking.

Kiriririri-

Klarararak-

It was the sound of a Leopard 2A6M tank struggling desperately with one of its tracks cut off.

“What is that? What is that!”

The tank driver muttered repeatedly.

You cut the tracks of a tank with a knife? Am I crazy?

“Where are you? Where are you?”

What if it sticks to the tank?

A tank that had lost its mobility was no better than a coffin.

“Which side is it? Did you see it? Which side is it?”

It wasn’t just the pilot. Everyone on the tank panicked.

“CRRRRRRRAAAAAAAZZZZZZY!”

“FUCK! FUCK!!”

“Shut up! Keep turning so I don’t get stuck.”

Even before the tank commander gave the order, the driver was already twisting the joystick.

“Everyone, shut your mouths!”

Beep beep beep-

The tank commander’s screams, with the volume turned up to maximum, erupted.

The crew members who were convulsing at the ripping sound turned into rioters.

“Everyone, be quiet. Have you found your target?”

“I can’t see it!”

“Request for support?”

“No one is accepting it.”

In this situation, setting off a smoke bomb would have been a bad thing.

“If you see anything, hit it!”

“ancient!”

The chariot was flailing like a bull in a bullfighting arena, but to Maru, it looked like a cow being dragged to a slaughterhouse struggling in vain.

‘Tsk-‘

Jumping lightly. Maru, who had landed lightly on the turret, began to open the can lid with an indifferent expression. As he swung the blade vertically, a metallic sound rang out.

Wow!

The people on the tank screamed as the Eclipse dug deep into the hatch.

“Eww!”

“FUC···.”

“JE···.”

Kkeud- ting-

The lock snapped, and the heavy hatch swung open with a safety pin sound. Now that the lid was open, all it took was a grenade to finish it off.

“surrender.”

“I surrender!”

The screaming crew members all prayed to the sky outside the open hatch. The answer to their prayers was cold.

[Come out.]

The soft voice on the floor was filled with a cold, settled murderous intent.

Ugh!

Big!

Even though it was just a tiny bit of life, I felt like I was going crazy.

The tank crews voluntarily disarmed themselves and raised their hands.

Mr. Kim’s report continued.

[This side is all sorted out. Can I hit the black horse Setki wolf while he’s having a staring contest?]

[This is also sorted out. If they don’t bite and fight, just leave them alone. Catch me later and beat me up. What happened to the 155mm self-propelled howitzer that the scout crow found?]

[It suddenly runs away and is chased by several wolves.]

[What is the crow doing?]

The nurse answered Maru’s words.

[He’s scouting out the direction the self-propelled artillery is going. He’s tracking the scattered enemies.]

[I’m talking about self-propelled guns. Can you only target orbit with crow bombs?]

[Ah- I think it would be possible with the Sacred Crow Unit.]

[Okay. Get it right.]

[yes.]

The combination of crow and wolf was terrifying.

Should we say that escape and resistance are impossible with basic infantry?

No matter how fast he ran, he was still slower than the crow could fly, which meant he could not escape the pursuit and attacks of the wolf linked to the crow.

The 7.62mm bullets, 5.56mm bullets, and 9mm bullets currently used by the rebels are not effective against wolves, so the result will only be one-sided.

[Just cut off all their heads so they don’t get together–]

Maru quietly spoke to Kim, who was proudly and confidently telling her about her past.

[What did I say?]

[?]

[I told you not to blow the heads of high-ranking people and cannibals, didn’t I? They make your brains thump.]

[······.]

As Maru stared intently, Kim Yang, who had been avoiding eye contact, suddenly glared at the black horse.

The black horse that had been shaking the cannibal commander’s shoulder with its teeth had beaten the cannibal, and pieces of meat were spread out on the horse’s hooves.

[You little brat. Are you going to chop it off? I told you not to.]

It was Ms. Kim who approached the black horse with a sly look and then slowly moved away from it.

Pururururung-

[What did I do well enough to complain about? Just say it.]

The battlefield clearing began with the sound of Kim Yang and the black horse bickering in the background.

The only sounds that could be heard were the occasional crunching of bones by wolves roaming the reddened mud.

So, the first ambush was successfully cleared, but the rest were not easy.

Heeeeeeeeeeeee!!!

[Hey. Stop being so annoying. Your fingers are freaking out.]

A gun aimed at the back of the head of a black horse trying to charge without thinking.

Purururuk-

The black horse tried to express his desire to run by lurching, but it was no use.

[You want to die that much? If you’re going to get shot and die anyway, then get shot by me and die.]

Thud thud- thud-thud-

Kim Yang, who had subdued the black horse that was clawing at the ground with its forelegs, summarized the situation.

[They are preparing for a surprise attack. Check the machine gun positions on the side where they can run in a straight line.]

Higher entities could influence lower entities. They could even issue commands that were practically coercive. But that was not possible among lower entities.

[It seems like it’s the result of some kind of experiment.]

[It may have been an experiment in dominance that took place in Pittsburgh.]

Hood took Kim Yang’s words.

Whatever they did, the important thing was the results. The problem was that, with communications failures becoming commonplace, the enemy was beginning to transmit information without using communicators.

[Try to capture the cannibals alive if possible. If you can’t keep them alive, at least leave their heads. Don’t blow their heads off from the start.]

[···Okay, I understand.]

[Black Horse, you heard this little shit? Don’t blow my head off.]

Heeeeeeeeeing!

It started with a sudden bombing attack from the Sacred Crow.

The siren sounded because there were sound boxes hanging here and there.

Whyeeeeeeeeeeee- boooooooooong-

As the nerve-racking sound rang out, the enemies’ gazes reflexively turned to the sky.

Thud thud thud!

The gun that had been pointed at the road began to point towards the sky. At the same time, Yang Kim stepped on the trigger.

[Now is the time!]

Heeeeeeeeeing!

As the black horse carrying Kim Yang ran, a pack of wolves began to run wild as if chasing the black horse. A loud explosion followed, as if pouring cold water on the fierce charge.

The black horse paid no attention to the explosion of the claymore and the several wolves being thrown back, and continued to increase its speed.

The only thing they’re after is the cannibal commander.

The black horse’s charge shot straight like a black arrow!

Pfft- thud-

The sound of being bounced, knocked down, and trampled. Kim Yang, who was holding the reins, also screamed.

[Don’t step on my head! Don’t step on my head!]

Heeeeeeling-

Even if you step on someone’s head, it feels good.

Oddball!

The black horse, pretending not to notice and crushing one of the heads with its front paw, started to make a U-turn as if it had made a mistake.

[This– Jongganna Setkiga···.]

The black horse, sensing that the atmosphere had become tense, quickly attempted to compromise.

Oh- I said it was a mistake, I said it was a mistake- as he started to trample on the limbs of the fallen enemies.

[Cannibal. Cannibal?]

Huh?

[If only the stepping on the head earlier was all···.]

Heeeeeeling-

Before Ms. Kim could say anything, the black horse covered her mouth with a sudden acceleration and looked around.

There was a distinct scent of cannibals that could be felt in the moist and swollen sense of smell. The target of the black horse, which jumped over the trench without slowing down, was a Leopard tank.

[Tank? Is there a cannibal over there?]

Purrrrrrr-

[There’s a cannibal riding on a tank here. Please help!]

The realistic Kim Yang didn’t rush to the tank like everyone else. She just wanted support.

The operation to strike the rebels went smoothly.

When attacking the first ambush, a breakthrough and melee were induced, and the second ambush was a dive bombing operation that began with a siren sound to distract the enemy and target the command center.

And now, with the third ambush attack imminent, it was Maru who checked the information first.

“Virginia and the military are right. Canada hasn’t operated any self-propelled artillery since the early 2000s.”

“I cross-checked the information extracted directly from the brain with the information in the laptop the cannibal commander had,” said Hood.

“So, does that mean the self-propelled howitzers we have now are the ones used by the US military?”

“Yes. I’m almost certain it was sent from the South.”

Even if it’s an Aegis ship, it can’t stop shells, so it’s true that it’s an effective means of attack. In addition, in a situation where radar range is limited like now, it’s difficult to detect self-propelled guns that are deliberately firing from over a hill.

‘From towed artillery to self-propelled artillery. They’re blatantly targeting our Aegis ships. Are they going to use cruise missiles or ballistic missiles?’

Dr. Brain Bubbles blew bubbles as if to interrupt Maru’s thoughts.

[Bboogyurrrrr······]

Maru, who lightly ignored the voice of the bio-terminal doctor and checked the information that appeared on the monitor, immediately changed the plan.

“Based on the data we’ve seen so far, it’s clear that the cannibalistic sub-species communicate with each other.”

It was definitely not telepathy, but the ability to transmit information was real. So, it was almost like a kind of shared experience, you know?

Assuming that there was information transmission capability, it was effective to start with a crow dive bombing attack, unlike the first attack method.

If the second ambush had been attacked with a similar charge and melee to the first, they would have suffered from the machine guns and trenches that were positioned everywhere.

So what if the dive bombing operation using crows was shared with them? Maru completely overhauled the operation.

“We will mobilize all captured 155mm self-propelled guns and towed guns, as well as tanks.”

Use airships to transport self-propelled guns, towed guns, and tanks, set up positions, use crows to mark points, and then fire long-distance artillery fire.

The idea was to neutralize the enemy by unleashing attacks that they knew they would be able to block, and then surround and destroy them. And the operation was very successful.

[The ambush site was successfully scorched to the ground.]

[We caught the fleeing self-propelled guns and tanks.]

[Secure one cannibal head.]

As the third and fourth positions were quickly swept away, the enemies lying in ambush at other points tried to escape, but to no avail.

Running away on foot meant that there was no escape from the scout crows, which meant that the wolf pack would continue their relentless pursuit.

Even if we were scattered, there was no way to escape the crows and wolves.

“It would have been dangerous if we hadn’t suppressed it right away.”

Maru’s expression as he inspected the water drone placed on the riverbank was not normal. The water drone, which looked like an RC boat, was a vicious weapon despite its appearance.

Although these suicide drones looked far weaker than missiles or torpedoes, it was terrifying to think that dozens of these had been attacking Aegis ships.

“Seeing how much preparation has been made, it is clear that they are determined to capture the Aegis ship.”

“Yeah. There might have been some plot behind it.”

It was fortunate that the Vladislav Tower and the town had air defenses, but it would have been dangerous if the range had expanded to downtown Detroit.

“That’s strange. If the enemy was aiming for a missile attack, they would have tried it a long time ago.”

“Radio interference and GPS were also problems, as were the extreme cold and snowstorms.”

“There are also nukes.”

“Yeah. They probably know that we have nukes.”

But why are we seeing this movement now?

Why didn’t they attack before the Aegis ships were deployed, and instead tried to hit the Aegis ships first? Anyway, since the Aegis ships were coming in, their plans were bound to go awry.

“Let’s go back first. I think it would be better to bring forward the meeting with President Den Brown.”

It was almost certain that their supply units had moved through Imperial airspace or territory. It was necessary to check.

Kim Yang, who returned to the Bloody Ark Tower, immediately looked for gomtang.

“Hot gomtang. Gomtang.”

Bear meat in vodka with ice cubes floating in it. And even hot bear soup. Just thinking about it makes me cringe–

As I was running towards the restaurant, a researcher came out holding a child in his arms.

huh?

Miss Kim’s footsteps, which had been heading towards the restaurant with indifference, suddenly stopped at the sound of the child’s voice.

“Yaya- Yajima- diaper- go away-”
