Chapter 34 (2/2)

Aircraft with stealth abilities were not items that an ordinary person could have, and although the stealth function was only an optical simulation, the aircraft would be very difficult to detect when it was stationary.

Such stealth abilities were normally just supplementary means for protecting the safety of big shots. An armorer could be stationed in it and be deployed to attack at any time.

However, David was only the child of an armorer. Even the ‘Statesman’ title itself was only an honorary title. It was not enough to warrant such high-security standards.

In addition, the white exoskeleton armors donned by the five armorers were all Luminous Exoskeleton Armors that were known for enhancing the manipulator’s speed by 10%.

The Luminous Exoskeleton Armors were outside the commerce of the public. They could only be purchased within the federal government through some special connections.

Its speed was much faster than the Black Diamond Exoskeleton Armor, and it had a higher surface area of Class 1 defensive material. That gave the armorers a greater advantage before the battle.

“Fight!” Captain Feroman hollered. He knew it was useless to say anything else at this point. He would only have a chance of survival if he fought for his life.

He was an armorer who was at the pinnacle. He pulled two swords out of the sheaths on his back, which were glowing with blue light. At the same time, he used them to cut open the shell of the cargo hovercar and jumped out of it.

Following behind him was Clark, who was connecting three rounded clubs into a spear, followed by Ed, who was holding a large shield in one hand, and lastly, Fessier, who was holding onto a double-edged axe.

The four of them formed a battle group, but they didn’t have the means to execute long-range attacks. Such was also the reason that they were worried about the defensive drones.

However, being surrounded by five armorers left them with no choice but to take on the battle and fight.

As mercenaries, they often faced battles, and although they were now besieged, their bloodthirsty natures were actually triggered further.

“Watch out, don’t destroy this residence!” Galen reminded the five armorers when he appeared outside the residence while grabbing David at this moment.

“Yes, Lord!” the five armorers answered. They removed their weapons from the equipment slots on their backs.

Their weapons were rather uniform as they were all using warhammers, though the color was somewhat different from the warhammers that David had seen. They were of the same color as the twin swords in Captain Feroman’s hands.

The faces of Captain Feroman and the other three mercenaries became sullen in unison.

David was unsure, but the four mercenaries knew exactly what that color represented.

Like the spear in Clark’s hand, Ed’s shield, and Fessier’s giant axe, these three weapons were glowing with faint rays of fluorescent light, which was the color of a Class 1 material.

However, the blue luster on the swords in Captain Feroman’s hands was a Class 2 color.

Captain Feroman had spent a huge amount of money to get the twin swords in his hands. Class 2 material was made from the teeth and claw tips of a Class 2 bug that would be fused with other precious materials.

Even if it was a Class 2 bug, the number of teeth and claw tips needed to create a weapon could only be accumulated with multiple Class 2 bugs.

Due to the fact that they were considered lightweight weapons, like the twin swords Captain Feroman was holding, only a limited amount of Class 2 material was needed. However, that was also why he had to spend a lot of credit points and pull connections to obtain them.

Since he was good at using the longsword and was an armorer who was at the pinnacle, he chose to use the Class 2 twin swords. Besides, during this mission, the enemies he would mostly face were not bugs.

However, the five armorers in front were clad in Luminous Exoskeleton Armors and holding heavy weapons like Class 2 warhammers. The four mercenaries were pressured by their weapons.

“Who are you? Let us go and I can give you a sum of compensation!” Captain Feroman asked Galen as he crossed the twin swords in front of him and gestured to his companions behind him.

“How were you able to control the extent of the security system shut down?” David frantically asked without waiting for Galen’s answer.

He was extremely confused. Based on his judgment, those mercenaries should have attacked him because of an accident.

No one would have known ahead of time that the T3 Sniper Assist Device would fall into his hands. Besides, the mercenaries killed Amos, who had been monitoring him.

He had always thought that the one who used Leeson Security to install a hidden program in the security system was the mastermind behind the entire conspiracy. However, the ones who triggered it were the mercenaries.

“There’s nothing to hide. We have received anonymous messages, and the safehouse we were hiding in had also been discovered. We were directed here to capture you, and at the same time, we were provided with a method to deactivate the security system. All of this was provided by your enemy, whose identity I do not know.” To get out of that situation, Captain Feroman directly mentioned the anonymous person.

He would not keep a secret for the person who had led them into the trap, but if he could use that information to earn a little bit of favor from the other party, then it would definitely be worth it.
