RUST -833

It seemed as if the cannibals who were being sliced ​​alive in the incubation facility had revolted.

“I know the weaknesses of the Confederacy’s fiefdoms.”

“The new types of humans mass-produced here are only the basic types.”

‘Basic type?’

If you’re a cannibal, then you’re saying there are other forms of cannibalism?

‘ah?’

Yeah, there was a werewolf.

“If an emergency occurs, we will automatically gather at the assembly point.”

“If we delve into the fact that even the Count cannot check each and every individual, we have a chance of success.”

The anger of the cannibals with their bodies missing here and there seemed genuine.

‘That’s strange···.’

Heeyeon’s small head tilted slightly.

This was because more than half of her knowledge came from Director Yu, who had gone mad from the war. According to her memories, things like ‘···it looks like this’ or ‘it was like this’ were not good.

The view seen in the field of view connected by a link.

The appearance of a cannibal with its limbs cut off and rendered helpless.

Hee-yeon’s once drowsy gaze turned cold. The U+ clones reacted by blocking the entrance to the incubation facility with a makeshift bunker and simultaneously began to fire concentrated fire.

“Ugh! Blood. Damage-”

“Fall down-!”

Their movements clearly showed that they were preparing for the worst. Their formation was scattered to avoid being caught in concentrated fire, but there was another decisive scene.

Even the cannibals who had their limbs cut off, as if they had never been neutralized, would retrieve their severed limbs and roll to the side to avoid being attacked.

“Close the door!”

I tried to block the entrance again, but the clones were faster.

Pushshishishishishi-

The bunker made of special materials swelled and blocked the entrance, preventing it from closing or opening. And Hee-yeon chose the most certain way to eliminate the enemy.

How to finish off enemies hiding in tunnels in the harsh terrain of Afghanistan.

How to dig up beets and kill hidden enemies in the harsh fields of Iraq.

‘Burn-‘

The flash grenade exploded first.

“Keuuuut-”

“Watch out, Gaston!”

“What happened to the emergency exit!”

“It collapsed!”

Taking advantage of the gap in their vision, napalm grenades burrowed inside. Then, rising flames and desperate screams filled the underground space.

Maru received Heeyeon’s report that the enemy’s stronghold had been destroyed.

I thought that U+ clones alone would be insufficient for the troops, but they were quickly cleared out. Since there were no plans to capture them anyway, burning them all was no problem.

‘Your judgment was quick.’

Hee-yeon’s decision not to accept the surrender of the cannibals who were trapped in the incubation facility and having their organs cut out was excellent.

Cannibals could be forcibly controlled by superior entities using their dominance. Even if they were burning with vengeance, cannibals had no choice but to follow the orders of their superior entities.

That’s true, but how could those who had been robbed of their organs escape from the cultivation facility? Did the restraints suddenly release automatically? Even if that were true, the fact that the limbs of the cannibals who escaped inside were cut off and rendered incapacitated seemed too artificial.

‘If he was truly burning with revenge, he would have attacked the head, not the arms and legs.’

Cannibals with excellent regenerative powers could quickly reattach severed limbs if they had human flesh, so it was best to deal with them immediately without missing them.

After destroying the cannibals’ mass production base, Hee-yeon and the U+ team immediately raided their supply warehouse. Half of the warehouse was filled with people.

Those who had been criticizing the clumsy policies of the Free Canadian League and the missing people were imprisoned. Hee-yeon and the U+ team rescued them.

‘They ate people.’

‘The Canadian Free League leadership is crazy.’

‘A world ruled by nobles···.’

When the Holy Kingdom announced this on the broadcast, those who did not believe rushed to condemn it. It was a hasty thought to think that the cannibal went into the lunch box once and came out, so he must have come to his senses.

‘I want to go to the Holy Kingdom.’

‘Please help me get to the empire.

‘······?’

Hee-yeon remembered Maru’s principle. ‘Take responsibility for your choices.’ So she handed over the firearms in the supply warehouse and left.

With an entire supply depot given to them, the rest was up to them. Fight the Free Canadian League leadership, or flee to the Empire or the Holy Kingdom. Either way, they had another choice to make.

Maru was satisfied with Heeyeon’s neat handling of affairs.

It was as Kim Yang said. Even though it seemed like we had withdrawn from Canada without any regrets, we had no intention of putting it in the mouth of a cannibal. Likewise, we had no intention of letting the Empire eat us alive.

[The Imperial Army’s formation has changed.]

The assistant AI reported that the nature of the battle between the Imperial Army and the Vampires had changed. The Imperial Army, which had been suffering one-sided defeats, had now formed a formation and was responding to the Vampires.

‘shield?’

The Imperial forces began to counterattack in formation using shields, Claymores, and large-caliber Vulcan cannons. The Imperial forces’ formation was simple but effective.

The exosuit, which attached the claymore to the shield like a reactive armor, took charge of defense. Since the claymore exploded the moment it was attacked, the vampire could not hit the shield.

However, they could not withdraw right away, because the imperial army had already formed a formation and surrounded them in layers.

If you moved even a little, the entire direction would be swept by a directional fire. If you tried to catch your breath without moving, a missile would fly in and bombard the area near where there was last movement.

“Is it a motion detection sensor?”

[If we analyze the video so far, it is clear that a motion detection sensor is being used.]

Lock them in formation and hit them with missiles?

Maru’s eyebrows twitched slightly.

As several cruise missiles landed, the vampire, whose stealth had been broken, hurriedly detonated a smoke bomb. The Imperial Army poured 20mm Vulcan cannons toward the space where the smoke bombs were rising.

Tsk-

Maru clicked his tongue. If that had been the case, he would have set off a smoke bomb himself.

The Imperial forces, who had been concentrating their fire as if a fierce storm had swept through, began to change their formation position to avoid the smoke screen that was gradually expanding in range.

An organic movement that allows for immediate support fire from both sides at the moment one side is attacked, while maintaining spacing while advancing and retreating according to the direction of the wind.

Was that formation and response created just now? Was that response made in a real battle? It was impossible. So that movement was the result of training.

Since they probably didn’t train expecting a vampire to jump out using a stealth suit, it was obvious who the target of the training was.

[Arrived over the Naruzu battle site.]

“Standby for deployment.”

Maru thought of Den Brown’s face.

‘A raccoon-like old man.’

An expression came over him as if he had done his job as the Emperor’s commander.

In international relations, there are no permanent enemies or allies, so I guess they said they prepared in advance. If so, it would be polite to watch how they prepared.

‘It won’t be easy for vampires to live like me.’

So how would the vampires deal with the imperial army in formation? Maru decided to watch. And then disaster struck.

The vampire, feeling threatened by his life, used his dominance. Cannibals began to swarm from all directions. Cannibals who had been ambushed somewhere pushed their way into the rear of the imperial army.

Those were heavily armed cannibals. They were armed with anti-material rifles and special ammunition, as well as javelin missiles and industrial exosuits. It was an attack by cannibals equipped with every infantry weapon the Free Canadian League could muster.

The Imperial forces attacked with mortars and cruise missiles, but they had little time to stop the thousands of cannibals who were closing in on them from all directions at once.

‘It’s well over a thousand.’

It was clear that the vampire guy was constantly slaughtering cannibals. How would he deal with this?

======

======

Boston. President’s Residence.

The Ranger unit that was controlling the refugees and hunting down cannibals was annihilated.

The military, including Dan Brown, predicted that there must be a significant number of cannibals if a company of rangers were to be annihilated, and they planned to deploy mobile forces to subdue them.

A small number of cannibals. They had physical abilities far superior to those of ordinary people, so the unit was armed with exosuits to deal with them.

The field commander was confident that cannibals wouldn’t be a problem since the unit had a high ratio of capable people and was fully armed with exosuits, but the situation started to go in a strange direction.

That was because what they encountered at the scene were not a bunch of cannibals, but vampires. And vampires armed with stealth suits.

In an instant, three or four soldiers armed with exosuits were dead, and the thing began to cleverly sow fear using stealth.

The commander immediately went into emergency response mode. A response system to catch that thing that utilizes stealth equipment and has the power to kill masses.

The soldiers began to respond organically, as if their harsh training had not been in vain. The Imperial Army began to corner the vampires who were hiding in their stealth gear.

The vampire’s stealth module shattered little by little every time the Claymore mounted on the Imperial Army’s shield exploded. No matter how much smoke was set off, it could not escape the motion detector and began to move to one side.

The vampire fought back fiercely, setting off smoke bombs, but that was it. Now, if we focused our mortar fire and fed it cruise missiles, we could take it down.

If we succeed in capturing him, it’s only a matter of time before we take control of the Free Canadian League. Since the vampire said he had a head, I thought it would be over if I just took the head…

[Your Majesty, the cannibals have attacked the rear.]

[We were surrounded. They were lying in ambush.]

You were lying in ambush? Why on earth?

Dan Brown reanalyzed the situation from the beginning.

One. Imperial Rangers were trying to control the incoming refugees and hunt down the cannibals.

2. As a result of the engagement with the cannibals, the Imperial Rangers were annihilated, so a rapid response force was dispatched to subdue the cannibals.

3. When the response force arrived at the scene, all the cannibals were dead, and suddenly vampires appeared. A fight began.

Fourth. I thought the special training was working and had driven the vampires away, but then the cannibals who had been waiting in ambush suddenly jumped out and attacked from behind.

What the hell is this?

“Rewind the video from the beginning.”

It was Dan Brown who was replaying the footage the Rapid Response Force had taken of the camp. Footage of the cannibal and the dead Imperial Ranger flashed across the screen.

The corpse of a cannibal with its head completely blown off. If the cut surface where the head was torn off was smooth, it would have reminded me of Vladimir Kalin.

First of all, there was no severed head. So, right after the battle, it was said that the mutated monster had eaten the cannibal’s head.

‘What if it wasn’t that?’

What if Vladimir Kalin killed the cannibal and rudely cut off the severed neck to hide it? Why was the vampire at the scene?

A series of thoughts followed one after another in an instant.

‘Whether they are vampires or cannibals, they are mentally connected to their direct subordinates.’

So, when the cannibal who was your direct subordinate died, the vampire noticed it and came to the scene and clashed with us?

‘Then why were you lying in ambush?’

Den Brown instinctively thought of Vladimir Kalin. He came to mind naturally, even though there was no clear evidence. If that were the case, Vladimir Kalin would be watching the current situation.

[Your Majesty, the cannibals and the response force are mixed together and cannot be bombed.]

[The response force commander requested air support.]

“You idiot! If you retreat in a melee, you’re abandoning your men! Air support? Bombing? Or are you going to give them your airships!”

Dan Brown swallowed his rising anger and got up. He went into the President’s office alone and picked up the phone.

“···Are you seeing the situation on the ground right now?”

[······.]

Maru answered in silence.

======

======

The situation, which had been favorable for the Imperial Army, began to tilt toward the cannibals as it turned into a melee in which troops were tangled.

As the vampires, whose hiding equipment was damaged, broke free from the siege, they began to engage in full-scale carnage.

To kill the vampires, they had to finish them off with concentrated artillery fire and carpet bombing, but the Empire was unable to make that choice.

‘It would be difficult to abandon a unit armed entirely with exosuits.’

Furthermore, considering that they didn’t collapse all at once while engaging in melee combat with cannibals, they had to be considered an elite force. I wouldn’t want to blow up such an elite force in its entirety.

Meanwhile, what appeared to be the Imperial Army command center was slowly slipping away. Who would have thought that the commander of such an elite unit would be the first to jump out?

[Battle situation prediction. The probability of the Imperial Army’s defeat is gradually increasing.]

[The Imperial Army Command has issued an order to hold position.]

“Are you an idiot?”

[Imperial. Chancellor Den Brown is requesting communication via emergency line.]

“Connect.”

[Chiik- Are you watching the situation on the ground right now?]

“······.”

[I see. You must have killed the cannibal. And the vampire must have moved himself to catch you.]

“······.”

Hey, old man. So you want me to have some sense of responsibility? Maru ignored him with silence.

[These are the soldiers who are absolutely necessary to maintain the empire. Please save them.]

Dan Brown added.

[The Empire will not expand towards Canada. If the Free Canadian League requests to merge with the Empire, it will be refused.]

“···I’ll leave it in writing.”

It was worth the wait.
