RUST [RUST]-937

A shield? A shield that size?

“Is it a core? The batteries won’t be able to produce enough power to turn the shield.”

“······.”

This side also had 2-3 generations of advanced technology. They had railguns, hypersonic missiles, and AI fighter jets.

The shield had also completed the experimental phase and was now entering the verification phase. However, the Holy Kingdom had already completed its deployment.

“The rumors that the Holy Kingdom has passed a technological singularity are true.”

Scarlett looked up with sharp eyes at Malloy’s calm voice as he swept away the white hair.

“So what are we going to do? We need to clear out the landing party so that Vladimir Kalin himself can come down.”

“I have to organize it. What should I do?”

I was preparing for when the landing force and Vladimirovna would come down together.

Well, that was the plan.

There’s a plan B and a plan C, and that’s the way it’s supposed to be.

“Emergency. Code GGH337RT. Plan B. Launch to designated coordinates.”

[Emergency. Code check GGH337RT. Plan B confirmed.]

[Launch preparations completed at designated coordinates. 3. 2. 1. Launch.]

Rockets fired at high angles began to plummet toward their targets, showering them with cluster bombs. A torrential downpour of steel. Excessive firepower, enough to wipe out a division, filled the small airfield.

WHING-WHING-

The shield held on, crying pitifully, but it was too late to stop the endless barrage of cluster bombs that had already blocked a large explosion.

ping—-

Pubbubububububububu

As the shield of one aircraft disappeared with a popping sound, a torrential downpour of steel, as if waiting for that moment, covered the core aircraft of the Holy Kingdom.

The Holy Kingdom’s core units began to collapse only after a series of loud bangs. Even after the terrible attack, more than half of the Holy Kingdom’s troops survived.

“Whew- It’s so damn hard. The gloves seem to be made of new material too?”

“······.”

Unlike the voice that was trembling with admiration, Olbaek’s face was frozen coldly.

“Tank unit sortie.”

[Tick-Tank unit deploying.]

A tank unit lying in ambush behind a hill heads toward the airfield. Bombs planted at the airfield are detonated, multiple rocket launchers are fired, and the tank unit attacks.

[It’s a tank!]

[It’s an ambush!]

[The shield?]

[It’s overheated.]

[It takes more than 10 minutes to reboot.]

There was no way for a reactor core without a shield to stop a tank’s main gun from pouring down from close range.

[Fight back.]

[It’s broken!]

The bigger problem was that the surviving core armor could not fight back, because the powerful impact had damaged the weapon.

Broken magazines were common. There was a problem with the power cord to the coilgun, or the entire supply box was blown away, leaving spare parts in short supply.

[Shield Penetration!]

[It’s a depleted uranium bullet!]

[Fuck···.]

[It’s a pit. Get into the pit!]

Fortunately, the size of the core armor was small, so the craters created by the explosions and shelling could be used as trenches to avoid tank fire.

[Distribute magazines.]

[Anti-tank missiles?]

[There is something to survive.]

[Okay. Shoot them all!]

The Holy Kingdom core units that had entered the pit reorganized their ranks and began a counterattack.

The coil gun using special bullets could not penetrate the tank’s frontal armor, but it was enough to knock out the sensors, machine guns, and bulletproof glass mounted on the front.

A barrage of anti-tank missiles followed. The anti-tank missiles shot into the air and hit the upper turret of the tank. Top-Attack mode.

As four tanks were disabled in an instant, Olbaek’s brow furrowed.

“Don’t approach, just tame the ones that come out.”

If we surround and pressure them from afar, a rescue party will come down, or Vladimir Kalin himself will come.

“Scarlett, are you ready for revenge?”

“Please shut up.”

A loud explosion echoed right next to me.

Kuuuuuuuuuuuu—-

The monitor showed the shield being breached with a huge impact sound, and the airship on the left side of the flagship that Ki-sun was on tilted sharply.

‘What is it? What hit me?’

Ki-sun was embarrassed.

The missile fired from the Aegis ship was blocked by a defensive shield?

[Beep- Shock Alert]

[Beep beep beep beep—]

Another shaking vibration. Before the shield could regenerate, the left-hand airship, hit by another supersonic missile, began to slowly fall.

[Ship number 3 lost balance.]

[Control unit damaged. Start emergency measures.]

[3rd ship’s fire extinguishment is difficult.]

[Increased possibility of explosion.]

“Tell them to escape.”

It was fortunate that it was an airship. It didn’t collapse right away, but rather fell slowly.

But they were persistent.

A supersonic missile is re-entrenched in a crashed airship.

[Enemy. Aiming for the lifeboat.]

Surface-to-air missiles and anti-aircraft shells fired from the port swarmed like piranhas, targeting bleeding prey.

[Speed. Mach 8.5~8.6. Hypersonic missile estimated.]

[Successful missile trajectory retro-tracking.]

[Pacific Ocean.]

[Distance 72km.]

[Hypersonic missile launched from enemy submarine.]

[Goal set.]

[Brace for shock.]

[Shield output max.]

The voice of the assistant AI was incessant.

A hypersonic missile that had narrowed the distance of 72 km in the blink of an eye struck the tip of the airship that was in evasive maneuver.

[Shield Lost]

[A direct hit from a surface-to-air missile was blocked.]

[Hit by anti-aircraft fire from the port.]

[Fire breaks out in Zone 12.]

[Hypersonic missile approaching.]

[Brace for shock.]

[Shield reactivated. Output 45%]

With a powerful impact, the Black Drake-class large airship tilted to one side for a moment before regaining its balance.

[Shield overheating.]

[Fire in Zone 12. Spread to Zones 13 and 11.]

[Fire extinguishing.]

The situation of the airship that appeared on the monitor was serious. The shield was blown away by two hypersonic missiles. In the first place, there was no information that there were hypersonic missiles exceeding Mach 8.5.

‘shit.’

Ki-soon’s eyes were crinkled.

Neither the researcher, the escort, nor the secretary had any information that the enemy had any such records.

The operation was planned with the expectation of firepower at the level of the former US military, but the power was far greater than that. Hypersonic missiles were weapons that even the former US military could not deploy, but they are actually deploying them…

‘What the hell are these bastards doing?’

The enemies that were more difficult than mutant monsters were, of course, humans.

“All fleets, raise altitude.”

“Submarines and Aegis ships must be finished off by focusing fire and increasing altitude.”

[All fleets raise their altitude. Focus fire on enemy submarines and Aegis ships. Begin evasive maneuvers.]

Railguns and cruise missiles aimed at the submarine and the Aegis ship desperately trying to escape from the port. The Aegis ship intercepted the cruise missiles and escorted the submarine, but was unable to stop the railgun.

Once the Aegis ship was sunk, the submarine sank in an instant. Kisun, who had finished off all the submarines and Aegis ships anchored in the port, retreated all the ships.

[Beep – An emergency assistance request has arrived.]

[The landing force requested air support.]

While the air fleet was under attack, the assault force was also in dire straits. Without support, they might have been annihilated.

‘They haven’t even sent the cannibal army yet.’

After pressuring them with tanks and dispersing them with multiple rocket launchers, they would be defeated by the cannibal units. Losing the assault units was a loss, but losing the core armor technology to the enemy was also dangerous.

Since they were hiding hypersonic missiles, I didn’t know what else they were hiding. The same goes for the multiple rocket launcher and cluster bomb combination.

It wasn’t even a simple cluster bomb. If it was a cluster bomb optimized for armor penetration, then it meant that they were preparing for a large-scale engagement.

“Crow Unit, sortie.”

Caw! (Sorry!)

Kaaaah! (We’re on the move!)

Crow bombers armed with smoke bombs, napalm and nuclear grenades flew in to support the assault forces.

In the swaying bushes, crows were sitting in a huddle. They were the crows that had decided to guard the floor.

‘Kaaaak? (Shouldn’t we follow?)’

‘Kkak kkak? (Didn’t you hear the order to stand by?)’

‘Kaaaak- (No. That’s not it. If you want to escort-)’

‘Kk! Kkak- (That’s an order! We’ll stop following orders-)’

Maru headed to the hotel, leaving behind the crows’ murmurs. The target was a high-ranking man. He took three heads, but there was no important information.

‘There was no general information about their forces.’

Where were the additional bases, what was the terrain like, and most importantly, there was no information about their power.

There were two Aegis ships here alone. There were five submarines anchored in the port. Even excluding the speedboats, two Aegis ships and five submarines were a national-level force that no one could defeat.

However, none of the three had any information on how many submarines there were here or what their weapons were. They knew there were other bases, but they had no idea where they were or what their troop composition was, which meant that they were a thorough guerrilla organization.

‘Contradictory.’

Maru’s eyes sank heavily.

If the US, Japan, and China were involved, it meant that at least half of the world was involved. Even if the countries weren’t directly involved, the military and the business community were definitely involved, but how could such a huge organization be a tactic?

‘A multinational secret society? How absurd.’

It was ridiculous that the force that turned an entire island into a military base was a secret society. And to make matters worse, they were a guerrilla organization. How was the world going back to the time before the great disaster?

If we think about it seriously, the world before the catastrophe wasn’t normal either.

The strange situation where an industrial spy is both a drug dealer and an enemy informant. Just look at what World Group did.

Because the group included organized crime members, retired military personnel, dishonorably discharged soldiers, and even government agents.

Ms. Kim was working as a cleaner at World Group, and Director Yoo was in charge of the military department. Can this really be considered a normal business?

Could such a company survive without government protection? So the world before the catastrophe was actually in a state of chaos.

‘Like this island.’

That’s what it meant when it was a completely fortified island. Could it be said that there was a force that had been preparing for a great disaster even before it happened?

Thud. Kuuuung-

There was a loud explosion from the port side. It was the sound of Kisun attacking the port. Almost at the same time, there was a huge explosion from the direction of the airfield.

‘I decided to land at the airport and go to the city center.’

Then, in the distance, a multiple rocket launcher was seen firing at an almost vertical angle. Immediately after, a loud explosion followed from the direction of the airfield. The story was that a multiple rocket launcher had been fired toward the airfield.

‘It’s dangerous.’

It meant that they had read that the Holy Kingdom was going to storm the airfield.

‘You read it even though you attacked the port at the same time as the assault?’

Maru hesitated for a moment, wondering whether he should support the airfield or go to the hotel to catch the sergeant as per the operational objective.

‘Gisun can support the airport side.’

It was better to trust Ki-sun’s judgment and hit him in the head. You need to know their true identity and power structure to prepare for them.

Puhwaaaaak-

Maru, who flew up with a jetpack, landed on the roof of a hotel surrounded by heavy security.

Eeeeeeeeeeng—

As soon as we reached the rooftop, a siren blared from the hotel.

‘Look at this.’

I robbed that hotel once, so you were prepared? You reacted quickly? It didn’t matter since I was armed with a core armor and was going to force my way through anyway.

Pushshishishishishi-

A floor where a circular pattern of corrosion foam was sprayed on the rooftop. It was a corrosion foam made from acid extracted from seagulls and rats.

The corrosive foam quickly melted the tiles and reinforced concrete on the rooftop floor. The floor fell away with a strange sound and a circular hole.

In the Royal Suite, which was so far away, there were those who were about to escape. A small multiple rocket launcher mounted on the shoulder of the core armor was fired, destroying the door and ceiling.

Kwaaaaang-

As holes were ripped through the special door and the hallway ceiling collapsed, the three people who were trying to escape turned around.

Woohoo—

A piece of stone stuck in the core armor’s shield spins violently and falls to the ground. And the man with his finger extended forward clicks his tongue.

“It’s a barrier. It’s a headache.”

“Stop whining and keep shooting.”

“Because the shield will burst if it overheats.”

Srrrrung-

One of them approached the floor, holding a Japanese sword in each hand and the other holding a sharp object like a long needle.

Woohoo- Woohoo-

With the sound of the shield humming, the floor also pulled out the fluttering Nuclipse.

Woohoo— Woohoo- Pick-

The moment the barrier broke, all four moved simultaneously.
