The Conspiracy of the Elites

Chapter 125: mechanical terror

The shockwave from the bright red beam shot at them was so forceful that despite not killing them, it flung all the alliance soldiers to various corners of the chamber they found themselves.

Despite one of their comrade dying so quickly, as high-grade soldiers, they were all battle-hardened and skilled war veterans. As soon as they landed, they rolled to negate the force, as they finally turned to observe their surroundings and to face this monstrous entity directly.

They were in some kind of mechanical workshop, as mechanical parts were littered all over the place. Metal structures took almost all the space of the room, leaving only a little space for them to stand on.

They did not have the luxury to observe their surroundings to their fill, as they had a more immediate problem to face. They finally raised their heads, to look at their intimidating opponent.

With blue glowing eyes like light bulbs, the figure of the giant mechanical soldier loomed over the group of soldiers, like an envoy of death. It's shining, bulky and intimidating armor indicated its identity, as a mechanical construct of a country with high-grade military strength.

It had a huge sword, sheathed to the right corner of its armor. After releasing the shot that killed the soldier, smoke wafted out of its guns muzzle, as it slowly raised it to face the sky.

Behind the mechanical soldier, a hole gradually started closing back after this series of events. From this, the soldiers guessed that it was probably released from that hole.

They wanted to mourn their dead soldier, but they could not, as they knew that the battle was just beginning. Their expressions soured further when they saw the next actions of their giant opponent.

Its glowing blue eyes looked over, as it scrutinized the soldiers standing before it carefully. After 2 seconds of this, its eyes gradually started changing color; its demeanor was also changing. It was not even a minute before its eyes started glowing with a bright red light, like that of burning fire.

[INTRUDERS INTERCEPTED: Activating mechanical terror system, mechanical terror unleashed.]

After these unsettling words were voiced by its sound systems, its eyes seemed like an explosion was on it, as it gleamed like the initiation point of a psionic bomb.

Take cover, Captain Oxford felt the tingling sensation of danger first as he dived under a mechanical structure at the side while yelling at his soldiers to do so also.

Before the Captain even yelled the order, Clark already looked for cover as his implant spammed his brain with danger alerts.

Boom!! Boom!! Boom!! The soldiers jumped disorderly about, as 3 bright beams erupted from the mechanical soldiers gun. The air visibly distorted from the heat, as all obstacles blocking its path were melted into molten iron.

Despite reacting fast, Clarks brain still grew muddled from the shock, as his eyes started seeing double. His physique as a high-grade soldier came to his rescue this time, as he quickly recovered his sanity.

He immediately sprang back up, as he tried to observe his opponent despite the smoke, debris, and dust obstructing the direct view.

He quickly saw his Captain at the side helping an injured soldier, as he tried to pull the soldier out of his vaporizing armor. After doing this, Captain Oxford hastily turned around, as his high intelligence as a 3rd rank high-grade soldier started showing his merit.

Captain Jack, try to guide your soldiers and go behind the mechanical soldier. I will fight it with my soldiers from the front, just try as much as possible to deal damage to it and safeguard your soldiers lives.

Clark, co-ordinate and lead the ranged soldiers on our side. Aim only at the opponents gun. Try your best to destroy the gun; it is our only road to winning this battle.

Jack, you also heard me. Co-ordinate your soldiers, and aim only to destroy the opponents gun. Our victory or success is in how fast we destroy that weapon.

All Spartan melee specialists that are with me, you are all to follow my lead when I advance.

Despite the unfavorable and despair-inducing situation, Captain Oxford showed his flair as a war veteran, as he calmly gave orders to his soldiers. His title as a Captain was not without basis, and he was not only a Captain, he was a Spartan Captain.

He knew that their opponent had an overwhelming advantage over them, based on the quality of equipment. He did not know about the sword at the corner of its armor yet, but the gun, being the immediate crisis had to be taken care of.

Dragging the battle out would only lead to all his soldiers being one-shot killed, and wiped out. Rushing the battle was the only way to victory, and that was exactly what he was about to do.

Knowing that his teammates were all high-grade soldiers, he was relieved as he was sure that they all understood his intentions. He finally unsheathed his broad sword, as his face grew stern and focused.

You want to pass through my soldiers, pass through me first. This was the only thought in his head, as veins popped out all over his body, making his face look monstrous from an aesthetic view.

Boom, his figure advanced like a raging bull, as his speed directly broke the sound barrier, moving forward like a speeding meteorite. His melee soldiers responded fast, following him with determined expressions on their faces.

The mechanical soldiers A. I detected the advancing threat, as it aimed its massive gun at the leader of the advancing soldiers, trying to botch its eradication mission.

Woom!! After charging up for only 2 seconds, the unsettling but intimidating sound of the gun reverberated again, as another hot beam shot out of its muzzle.

Captain Oxford brazed himself for the impact, as he activated his swords force field. Being his only high-grade equipment, he had a lot of love and belief in the power of his sword.

Boom!! Bam!! Bam!! The first sound of impact sounded out, before other ones sounded out consecutively in quick succession, as the momentum of the beam shot from the tyrannical gun was finally negated.

NOW!!! Clark did not need the reminder, he moved immediately. Under his leadership, his already prepared ranged soldiers shot all their high-caliber bullets at the intimidating gun of the mechanical soldier.

Boom!! Boom!! Explosions from the bullets engulfed the whole room, as the monstrous form of the mechanical soldier staggered backward from the extreme firepower, directed at it.

The red glow in its eye slots flickered faster, as its A. I rapidly thought of counter-measures against the focus fire.

Despite the extreme power of its gun, it was not a defensive mechanical soldier, it had no shield. The only thing still keeping it intact was the huge amount of reinforced Arcanite metal used in the creation of its body parts.

Before it could recover from this short burst of power from its opponents, the figure of Captain Oxford blurred, as he finally came to a range that was favorable to him.

As a full melee-oriented soldier, it felt to him like he finally came back home to where he belonged. The force field of his sword started materializing again, as he stumped the ground with both his legs forcefully.

He was launched from the force upwards, as he quickly reached a height where he came to face the gun wreaking havoc among his soldiers directly.

On seeing this scene, the glowing red eyes of the mechanical soldier flickered faster, as it tried to react by withdrawing the hand wielding the gun. Unfortunately for it, its realization came a little too late.

Clang!!! The sound of the 2 high-grade weapons colliding rang throughout the room, as the mechanical soldier staggered further backward. The walls of the room refracted the sound of collision back, as it echoed loudly all over the room.

Despite the vibrating sensation, all the soldiers felt in their ears, they were able to still concentrate, as the ranged soldiers continued their shooting at the gun.

The melee soldiers following Captain Oxford finally arrived, as they all engaged their opponent fiercely without restraints. The sound of metal colliding with metal kept on reverberating around the room, as they finally succeeded in restraining the lethality of their opponent.

The melee soldiers under the leadership of Captain Jack finally got their time to shine, as they entered the battle with unstoppable momentum.

Heavy shockwave impacts kept on being generated on the battlefield, as the mechanical soldier A.Is processing power got cramped from the huge data it was receiving. After getting the initiative, Captain Oxford led his soldiers impeccably, as they firmly held on to their advantage.

As a ranged mechanical soldier, being mobbed by such a large amount of melee experts in close range spelled doom to it.

As they fought, the synergy of the soldiers increased further, as they already knew the pattern to keep their opponent suppressed.

As a mechanical soldier working under the instructions from a program, it could only perform according to the instructions that were programmed into it. Due to its limited sets of instructions, it could not develop any countermeasures against the soldiers, as its armors durability kept on being chewed at.

Boom!! Bam!! Bam!! Clark shot in rapid succession with precise aim, as the formidable-looking gun of the giant mechanical soldier finally exploded. The explosion lit up like fireworks being shot, illuminating the surrounding further.

Despite heaving huge sighs of relief, no soldier relented in their offensive, as the bullets of the ranged soldiers pelted its now exposed armor. The melee soldiers continued hacking at its hard surface armor, as they tried to break its defense.

[Warning!! Destruction of secondary weapon detected, initiating red alert mode.]

[Ding!! Red alert mode activated, primary weapons systems activated. Swordsman mastery system activated.]

Despite the extreme firepower being directed at its armor, the A. I of the mechanical soldier quickly initiated its counter-measure plans, after it lost its secondary weapon.

After these series of notifications, the already blackened armor from the relentless assault of its opponents quickly started falling off. The excess armor all over its structure quickly fell off, as it now became more aesthetic to the eye.

The once giant bulky-looking mechanical soldier immediately took on a different shape entirely.

It quickly unsheathed its sword, as it held it at a backhanded grip. After the excess armor fell off, it was now more streamlined and it now looked like some kind of mechanical soldier from a world of fiction.

Before the soldiers could comprehend what was happening, the sound barrier was breached again, as a sword advanced with incredible speed at the nearest soldier.

What the Being the only soldier at its path, Captain Oxfords eyes widened like round saucers, as he scrambled to prepare his defense.

Boom!! The huge sword finally found its target, with a huge boom sound accompanying it. All the soldiers held their breath while squinting their eyes, as they tried to better see the outcome of the clash.
