Chapter 138: the apocalypse military organization
Captain Mark of the Diadem republic waved his dual swords ferociously, as the elite swordsman mechanical soldier facing him was blown away. His face was stern and tightened under his armors coverage, as he alone fended off the strikes of the 2 elite mechanical soldiers facing him.
Unlike the other countrys soldiers that were still kind of fumbling in the dark, he knew a lot more about this research base.
He was sure that if these people knew the original owners of this research base, they would most likely duck their heads under their legs in fear and run.
This military research base was one of the hidden research bases of the Apocalypse military organization. As one of the big 5 powers, and being the one with the highest number of high-grade soldiers, their power was undeniable.
As this was not their territory, they secretly kidnapped and indoctrinated workers from other places to serve as their researchers here.
No matter how strong they were, they could only submit to the territory of the Seafarers alliance. They did not want to take the risk of sending their core researchers here, so thats why they resulted in kidnapping others from other places.
Being the organization that created the first known exobeast, they were at the forefront in biological research about animals and high-grade soldiers.
According to rumors, the number of their high-grade soldiers is easily twice as much as those of the other big 5 powers. As an organization that focused on biological research, there was no way that they would be restricted to just their territory.
They always explored outside to find and experiment on different types of animals. Their fanatism for research went so deep that they already started spreading their tentacles outside earth, to get new species of animals on the other planets for research.
After this base was discovered by the Seafarers alliance, they directly abandoned it. After seeing the unusual lenient way, the tyrants of the sea treated the matter, they secretly came back to rescue their indoctrinated researchers.
Despite this, they left all their research data and experiment results behind, as taking them away was looking down on the leniency that the tyrants of the sea showed to them.
The Nadan republic and the Diadem republic were the 2 high-grade countries that fought monetary-wise in the auction at the outer headquarters of the Seafarers alliance to get information about the military base.
Unfortunately for General Mark, his country was outdone and the Nadan republic got the information. But surprisingly, after a month of inactivity, the Nadan republic suddenly started disseminating parts of the information through secret channels.
They were surprised and happy, but at the same time cautious. To confirm the viability of the information, they invested in deep and elaborate investigation.
After a week of intensive investigation, they finally confirmed the viability of the information, but they found something else.
After the Nadan republic researched and went through the information they got in detail, they found that dozens of 3rd rank or higher high-grade soldiers were required to access the deep and important parts of the military research base.
After a lot of brainstorming, they finally decided to release parts and pieces of the information. Their plan was to allow more soldiers to get access to the military base so that they could use them to access the main area of the research base.
The main reason why they were determined to attack the military base, was not because of the Arcanite metal deposits nor even the research data. The Apocalypse military organization left one of their important experiment samples, that can accelerate the breakthrough of soldiers.
This sample was their target. Thats why they could allow other soldiers in, by tempting them with the Arcanite metal while they take the main price.
Despite the Diadem republic getting a lot of information, they were still not able to get the exact location of this extremely valuable sample. That is why General Mark was ready to do anything to intercept the soldiers of the Nadan republic.
They knew that the sample was in the location around this vault that he was currently at, but they did not know the exact place where it was hidden.
After he entered the vault and not seeing the soldiers of the Nadan republic, he knew immediately that they were probably looking for the sample in another hidden compartment close to this place.
He fought the 2 mechanical soldiers cautiously, as he tried his best to minimize the damages to his armor. He could destroy the 2 elite mechanical soldiers alone, but he wanted them to damage the pestering soldiers of the other groups behind him.
Some of his soldiers were already entering different side compartments to loot the research data of the military base, but they were all preserving their strength and resources for the ultimate price.
Whoosh!! Clang!! Clark impaled the last mechanical soldier blocking the path leading to his destination with his spear, before forging ahead to join in the looting of the research data of the base.
He jumped and did a front flip, as his hand blurred, leaving afterimages behind.
With his fearsome power, he directly cleared another path in the horde of mechanical soldiers in the large vault, as his implant diligently notified him of the situation of the battlefield.
He finally ordered his soldiers to converge, so that they could form a battle formation. They formed the turtle shell formation, as they slowly advanced like an impenetrable fortress.
They had to form a battle formation to cross this part, as the last unoccupied swordsman mechanical soldier was already wreaking havoc on the battlefield.
As General Mark of the Diadem republic was already occupying 2 of them, the last one was left to them to take care of.
Boom!! Boom!! Despite the looting already going on, the sound of gunshots continually reverberated in the vault, forming a cacophony of loud unpleasant sounds.
As Clark drew closer to one of the side compartments of the vault where the research data were kept, another source of trouble finally came.
It seems that the other soldiers also encountered this troublesome opponent on their journey here, as they all adjusted their battle formations in alarm.
Some soldiers finally poked a hornets nest, as 2 of the familiar tentacled alien-looking mechanical structure emerged as soon as some soldiers broke into a new side compartment of the vault.
Clark immediately gave new orders as soon as he saw this nightmarish tentacled mechanical monster. He still vividly remembered that it was this same mechanical soldier that almost ended his life, from its terrible explosion.
Hum!! The expected pulse quickly started, as the blue glow in their mechanical bloated form quickly erupted outwards in a spiral manner.
The cannon fodder mechanical soldiers quickly gained more attack power, as they attacked more ferociously like drugged soldiers who no longer cared for their life.
Tu! Tu! Tu! Tu! The beams being shot out of their guns thickened further, as the high-grade soldiers finally started feeling the pressure from the horde of cannon fodder mechanical soldiers.
Whoosh!! An unlucky soldier failed to adapt quickly to the increased strength of the elite swordsman mechanical soldier. With one fast and decisive swipe of its sword, the soldiers life was erased forever as his head got separated from his body.
Boom!! Boom!! The swordsman mechanical soldiers' increase in strength was more exaggerated, as they fought on a whole new level entirely. All the soldiers close to them suffered from the brunt of the damage, as 3 other soldiers died again from their fierce attacks.
Despite the increase in strength that they received; General Mark was still able to firmly suppress the 2 swordsman mechanical soldiers that he fought, though with more effort.
Seeing the death of 4 high-grade soldiers immediately after the tentacled mechanical soldiers arrived, some soldiers quickly developed fear against its methods as they tried to shoot at them.
From this, it could be seen that not all these soldiers experienced these monsters second disaster form like the Spartan/Dawn alliance soldiers.
On seeing the actions of these ignorant soldiers, the soldiers on the know quickly increased their efforts to enter the side compartments that they originally tried to enter.
They did not see any need of warning the ignorant soldiers about the repercussions of their actions. Experience is the best teacher. And through this, they would have fewer competitors for the loot.
Clark did not also say any word of warning, the only thing that overtook him was the urgency to enter the side compartment before him swiftly.
He was no saint, this was war. They all came here to loot when they clearly knew that it would be dangerous. All other soldiers here were his enemies, him not warning them about impending danger was something natural.
You dont tell your competitor ways to enable them to continue competing with you, instead, you do anything possible to topple their advance.
He urged his soldiers to use their trump cards to move faster, while he brought out his 2-form gun. He left it in its machine gun configuration, as he started executing his battle art.
Boom!! Bam!! Bam!! He rotated in place like an acrobatic athlete, as the muzzle of his gun spewed out different types of bullets rapidly.
The rush of the mechanical soldiers around his group was stalled, as his bullets impeded their advance. His anti-gravity bullets swept across the mechanical soldiers, as they started floating uncontrollably in the air.
His emp bullets directly disrupted their originally steady supply of energy, as his soldiers used this opportunity to bulldoze their way into the side compartment.
The ignorant soldiers were surprised, as their counterparts rushed into the side compartments like they were seeking refuge from an imminent disaster.
This move alarmed them, but they focused on finishing these 2 troublesome tentacled mechanical soldiers before they would also rush into the side compartments.
After all his soldiers entered the side compartment close to them, General Mark also suddenly left the 2 elite swordsman mechanical soldiers as he sprinted away rapidly. His military boots pulsed with a blue glow, as his speed increased exponentially.
This made the still firing soldiers more alarmed, as they also decided to enter the side compartments now. They made a sound decision, but it was too late.
Boom!! Boom!! The 2 tentacled alien soldiers could no longer take the extremely concentrated firepower, as their bloated forms quickly bloated further before shrinking like an inflated balloon.
The very foundation of this vault was shaken, as red-hot fire erupted out, covering everywhere in an instant. The side compartments lit up with blue shield glows, as the explosion was contained only to the main vault room.
Clark finally landed on the other part of the side compartment, as he looked back at the vault while trying to stabilize his steps in the shaking and vibrating compartment.
He felt a faint kind of pity for the soldiers that were just roasted to death miserably from the explosion. Knowledge was really power; ignorance was the factor that just killed so many high-grade soldiers.
Though he felt pity, it was because of how miserable they died without knowing why and how. As the temporary leader of his assigned soldiers, he would not let pity affect his decisions.
He ordered his soldiers to quickly form their battle formation again, as he stepped to the front to intercept any sudden danger. While doing this, they also took this opportunity to observe this compartment.
