Chapter 2932: Feeble (1/2)

The conflict between the ultralifers and the unknown paramilitary group broke out completely!

The latter had already raised their guard when a large amount of green-coated biomechs steadily advanced towards the warehouse complex.

The only odd aspect about the huge movement was that it followed a slow, winding path towards the site. A true invasion force would have advanced faster in order to give their targets as little time as possible to rain down fire on the vulnerable mechs.

Perhaps this was another negotiation ploy. Perhaps the ultralifers sought to intimidate the paramilitaries in order to gain more concessions out of their next round of talks.

Yet as the distance continued to shrink, the chance that this was a bluff grew smaller while the possibility that this was an actual attempt to launch an all-out assault increased!

In truth, the ultralifer mech pilots who followed the four animated statues of Lufa did not have any attack intentions in mind. They might have deployed all of their available biomechs and they also equipped them with a standard loadout of weapons, but they were not prepared to launch a risky offensive against a base!

When the paramilitaries finally couldn't ignore the risk of an actual assault any longer, they opened fire with their beefed-up artillery assets.

The shells and rounds raining down on the massive ultralifer formation inflicted considerable damage, but most of the victims were tough, resilient organic war machines.

Even if they were uncovered, they were more than capable of withstanding some attacks!

The volume of incoming firepower was considerable, but their precision and consistency was fairly low. Shells exploded from every direction and no kinetic round struck the same biomech twice.

At this point, the ultralifers were merely alarmed, but far from worried about their safety. Their own kinetic ranged mechs already returned fire in response to the sudden attack. It was a pity that the ultralifers lost the bulk of their heavy artillery mechs. If not for this, they could have hurt the base occupants a lot more!

Yet from the moment a random shell detonated in the midst of two of the vulnerable statues of Lufa, the ultralifers snapped.

The loss of these two heaven-sent objects was more than a loss of two material objects.

It was a direct attack on their new faith!

The rage that welled up was indescribable. A level of fury that went beyond reason had swept through their minds.

”KILL!”

”SLAUGHTER THEM ALL!”

The maddened ultralifers descended upon the base with only destruction in mind! They did not hesitate to throw themselves into the fray and overwhelm the base occupants with their righteous fury alone!

The paramilitaries were caught off-guard. They never expected that their bombardment would incite the ultralifers rather than suppressing them. The unexpectedly violent offensive pushed them back so hard and fast that most of their defensive advantages failed to play a significant role.

The battle at the warehouse complex quickly turned into a frenzied melee where melee biomechs threw themselves against each other and ranged mechs fired at any moving object with the wrong colors!

”WE NEED BACKUP!”

”What has gotten to these ultralifers?!”

”Johnny! They killed Johnny!”

Though the paramilitaries were badly hit at first, the large amount of casualties they suffered in the initial round of fighting caused their emotions to be enflamed as well.

When your comrades and buddies started getting butchered left and right, it was hard for the remainder to sit still. They had to fight back and take revenge for the losses they suffered!

The paramilitary organization pushed back just as hard and was determined to slay the ultralifers and end their threat once and for all! Only by slaughtering their main mech force would the base occupants be rid of this dangerous and unstable enemy.

”Don't let them advance any further!”

The base commander of the warehouse complex also issued strong orders to prevent the ultralifers from reaching the interior of the base.

Neither side backed off. The ultralifers had seemingly lost all reason after the loss and the paramilitaires dug in deeper instead of retreating.

With both sides having their own reasons to commit themselves to a pitched battle, every opportunity to avoid their mutual destruction was lost!

Even if a handful of their members magically regained a bit of common sense, it was far too late to stop the hostilities at this point!

Dozens of biomechs fell every couple of seconds. Scorched, broken and ruined flesh and bone littered the warehouse complex. The stench emanated by all of the damaged and spilled biomatter was indescribable. In fact, due to the abundance of harmful exotics leaking from the damaged biomechs, the air had literally turned toxic to humans!

As this tragedy continued to unfold, the mastermind behind this destructive turn of events was grinning like a shark.

”Hahahaha! Gullible idiots! You fell for it so easily!” Ves almost fell over from his chair.

The effortless way he managed to manipulate fanatics only increased his contempt towards their kind. Blind belief and lack of critical thinking were the greatest threat to human advancement in his eyes. If every human in the galaxy was as stupid as the ultralifers, the alien civilizations in the galaxy would have long squashed the human race!

When Ves saw that the ultralifers had fully thrown themselves onto the occupied warehouse complex, he felt that the time was finally right for the Larkinson to take action themselves.

He immediately issued an order to his mech commander.

”The time to remain on standby is over! Deploy our mechs and prepare to launch a full assault!”
