NOVEL NEXT Chapter 416: Chapter 416: Preparing for Airdrop
"The AR Team has already departed. If they can destroy Sangvis Ferri's communication nodes, they can halt Sangvis Ferri's advance."
"Well, although this operation is somewhat unusual, sometimes it's necessary to do something out of the ordinary."
Kryuger nodded in agreement with Gentiane's proposal.
After Gentiane and the AR Team reestablished communication, Gentiane immediately commanded the AR Team to head towards Sangvis Ferri's communication node without hesitation.
However, the AR Team wasn't fighting alone.
In this area, many Griffin forces were on external missions. Kryuger had given Gentiane permission to partially command the AR Team.
Moreover, the AR Team members themselves possessed stronger command capabilities than ordinary tactical dolls.
Perhaps this time, they wouldn't even need to wait for... wait, the distance between the AR Team and Sangvis Ferri's communication node...
It's a bit far. Even with the help of the Griffin forces along the way, it might take about an hour to arrive by going straight...
In other words, if nothing unexpected happened on Renault's end, he would definitely arrive here before the AR Team's mission succeeded. He hadn't told Gentiane and the other Griffin commanders that reinforcements would arrive in thirty minutes.
With this in mind, Kryuger looked back at Helian who was overseeing the transfer of supplies and wounded personnel.
He wonders what kind of chain reaction Helian's request for assistance from Renault will cause...
The military might also be watching the situation here.
If Griffin fails to stop Sangvis Ferri's attack this time, the military might intervene immediately...
No, maybe not...
Upon hearing Gentiane's plan, the hearts of the Griffin commanders trembled involuntarily.
Handing over command authority to the forces commanded solely by tactical dolls was unprecedented in Griffin. At least, other commanders had never heard of such a thing.
This was the main reason for their uncertainty.
Could tactical dolls execute their tactics perfectly without human command?
Although tactical dolls produced by IOP had command modules that could be installed, very few tactical dolls met the requirements for installing these command modules.
These command modules were still in the experimental stage. If the AR Team's operation failed due to command errors...
Forget it, for now, they had no choice but to trust the AR Team. Apart from believing in the AR Team, there was no other solution.
For now, they needed to find a way to hold off the continuous influx of Sangvis Ferri!
Thanks to the depth of the Frontline Base, the bombardment that had previously directly destroyed the upper structure of the base was now not very effective. It was difficult for those bombardments to hit the Griffin forces.
Moreover, Sangvis units had already rushed into the base. Now, the only direct threats to them were the continuous stream of Sangvis Ferri mechanical units.
With the help of the base's equipment and gear, they could still keep Sangvis Ferri outside their defensive line for a while.
...
"Ange, what about Griffin... Should we go and help?" Upon hearing Ange's report, AK-12 immediately asked Ange.
After all, their successful operation here was largely due to Griffin's support.
Otherwise, not only would they not be able to operate here, but also, without armor-piercing rounds, they wouldn't be able to penetrate the armor of those armored units which would be enough for her and AN-94 to have a headache.
"Don't worry, Griffin is not so fragile. Instead of worrying about those tough guys, you should worry about whether you two can come back intact. There are too many Sangvis armored units around you!"
"Uh..."
...
"This is too fast. Can this ship really reach this speed?"
Hunter stood incredulously next to Executioner looking at the rapidly passing peaks below.
The first time this ship took off, it didn't show such absurd speed at all. Moreover, looking at the strange translucent barrier around the ship, that thing appears have some miraculous functions.
Because for a ship like this which is square-headed and square-nosed, how could it possibly reach this speed under normal circumstances?
She didn't expect that the speed of flight in the sky before was far from the limit speed of this ship...
From the moment Renault said "start," it's only been a short ten minutes or so, and they've gone from the unmanned island in the southern Aegean Sea directly to the airspace over the southern Carpathians, and they've all passed by in a flash.
At this rate, it probably won't take long before they reach their destination.
"Instead of marveling at the speed of this ship, it's better to think about how to deal with those Griffin guys later. What if those evacuating Griffin tactical dolls mistake us for other Sangvis units when they get on board?" Intruder lazily said while propping up her chin, while Maria beside her played her game without a care, not worrying about any problems.
"That sounds reasonable, but Renault probably won't let those guys take action, right? And you can just switch the identification signal to the universal Griffin identification signal. By then, those tactical dolls won't be able to distinguish between us and them."
"Stop talking nonsense. Your appearance hasn't changed at all. How could they not recognize you? If tactical dolls can't see it, can't those human commanders see it?" Scarecrow said worriedly.
"Speaking of which, it's quite fast for Griffin's base to be attacked directly, and they actually sought Renault's support. The scale of those Sangvis units must be considerable, right?"
Executioner withdrew her gaze from the porthole and said with a somewhat strange expression on her face.
But there was still a hint of sarcasm in her words.
Back when she went out to search for M4A1, the Sangvis Ferri dolls she brought with her were just a few Vespids, and those Vespids were basically negligible.
Even if she added the Scout Units, the number of Sangvis Ferri units she commanded didn't exceed one hundred.
But now, the attackers targeting Griffin's base not only had heavy firepower capable of directly blasting through Griffin's base defenses but also could command large numbers of Sangvis Ferri units, using swarm tactics to force Griffin to seek external help.
Tsk tsk, this kind of gap was quite remarkable. But those who could use heavy firepower were probably either Dreamer or Architect, right?
As she was thinking about which elite Sangvis Ferri tactical doll was commanding the operation below, Scarecrow and Executioner heard a notification from Renault.
"Get ready in the hangar. Thirty seconds until we reach the drop zone."
