"Targets destroyed." Yinn and Tellie reported at the same time as they saw the surface to air missiles controlled by Nie had already flown the moment those small blasts EMP missiles reached their target. They knew that the Mecha Smith apprentice was watching consistently on the screens to ensure that their timing would match and not give any chance or window of opportunity for the enemies to gain back their momentum.

The exterior of the helicarriers exploded causing a hole to rip open and the Grey Bears could see Mechanoids dropping out from the hole as part of the aircraft descended. The problem was that there was no escape from them as the Grey Bears purposely timed their shot so that the aircraft would drop into the valley. With the aid of the System's topography, they were able to make sure that the timing was accurate so that there was no way those enemy Mechanoids would come bug them once they fell into the bottom of the valley.

There was no other way than up but with gravity as the Grey Bear's friend, they were sure those Mechanoids were not coming up at all.

The attack helicopters on the other hand were able to survive the EMP blast despite being caught in the radius. However, due to the lack of missiles and manpower to handle the situation, the Grey Bears had to prioritise their targets even though they knew that the attack helicopters would be a threat to them. However, disabling the helicarriers would ensure that there would be no mounting of a sneak attack and right now all they needed was to make sure those attack helicopters went down.

That was where the upgrade cards came into play as Yinn and Tellie reinforced their Mecha Armour. Extra armour platings, better engine output, more power into their Gatling guns and also increased the speed of their shots. They knew that their Mecha Armour would not be able to outrun the attack helicopters but at the same time, it could take a sufficient amount of beating from them so long they were able to avoid a direct hit from their missiles.

So even as they started to turn on their engines and move with the aid of roller threads and make sure they made sure that they moved in a random pattern so that they could move away in time to prevent a direct hit. Once again, the Tactical System was aiding them while Nie played his upgrade cards as well.

Instead of wasting the cards on the perfectly usable missiles, he had used it on the mountain workshop itself. Suddenly thick metal plates emerged as cover around Yin and Tellie and this gave them

this gave them the needed cover in this mountainous area where steps and pathways were uneven with their backs to the wall.

The missiles poured through from the barrels of the attack helicopters and those metal covers took the brunt of it. While the explosive powers of their missiles were not to be underestimated, the Mecha Armours managed to be away from a direct hit. The extra upgrade cards also enabled them to hold their ground while they poured their bullets into the attack helicopters.

The very first few of those copters were destroyed not knowing that their gatling gun range was extended with the aid of an unknown force. They thought that there was sufficient range away from the Mecha Armour's attacks while having a good lock to throw their missiles onto them. But once they found out that they were so dead wrong with the initial losses they took, those who were not shot down immediately assumed that the standard Mecha Armour had been modified by Old Fammet himself.

In fact, every one of the oddities that happened was quickly connected to Old Fammet's innovation. It was a convenient excuse to bring up while keeping the 'Tactical System' that Jin possessed a secret. Even Drake and his personal head butler had also deemed that getting Old Fammet could possibly be the best cover for Jin as they tried to shore up the deed to get Mount Sunn into his name. And behind the scenes, they had no idea that the Tactical System also pulled a favour from the Synthesis AI administrators to get Mount Sunn under their control, allowing the approval for the land deed to be twice as fast.

It could have been instantaneously with the powers of the Synthesis AI administrators but they too could not do such procedures without scrutiny by their human auditors. Using the excuse that it was a petition by the Archduke, the AI administrators were able to use a rarely used loophole to get the land deed approved for Jin. This was all happening when the Grey Bears were dug in Mount Sunn to fend off the invaders.

That was why as much as Yinn and Tellie despised the inequality in power between the enemies and them, they continued to fight to the very last even though their logic circuits were telling them to run. This fight was illogical in the first place as they could have just sneaked Old Fammet and Nie away and recaptured the place when they had sufficient manpower.

But Jin was not one to back down from such challenges which caused them to be in this predicament. But those thoughts that Yinn and Tellie had, were dissipated when the attack helicopters decided to withdraw and reorganise themselves in another formation.

"Shit, they are going for a strafing run. We do not have enough space to evade them." Yinn said, hoping Nie had something else in his bag of tricks given by the Tactical System.

"Then all we have to do is to shoot them down," Tellie replied as she opened the Mecha Armour hatch without hesitation and pulled out an anti tank sniper rifle. It was as if she was willing to uphold her title as the Mechanoid who shot down a plane, she used the Tactical System's upgrade cards on herself to boost her firing power and accuracy.

And just as she was able to fire the first one, the Tactical System pointed out that "More upgrade cards are available." With a glance, she knew that those cards would be deciding factor in finishing this uneven play.
