chapter-1528

"The battles concluded both above and behind the Mount Sunn Workshop successfully." It was a report that brings a grin to Jin's lips when he heard it from the Tactical System. He was a little sceptical about the air battle but it eventually worked out fine with Lynn leading the charge.

He would not deny that he expected from Page as the Tactical System was ready to provide more upgrade cards for Page to perform miracles in such ways that she could steal a small fleet of planes back for him to utilise. But seeing how she was able to 'safely' land back with Mount Sunn without exploding the rocket plane was already a feat itself.

"User, you give too little credit for the manoeuvres she did." The Tactical System commented as on the contrary, it felt that she had done more than it expected to do. Controlling the incomplete rocket plane and slithering around like a snake while not getting severely hit by the enemies anti air defences? That was one hell of a job that was well done.

"But all she did was just fly around, Lynn had to jump from plane to plane to disable every single one of them," Jin replied and the Tactical System could see the biases in its user's eyes. No wonder they say beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Still, the Tactical System believed that if it did not sound out and defend Page, it would be a travesty to her talents and skills despite being just a combat medic.

"User. The Sub System User did not jump to every plane. All of the planes she had entered were bomber aircraft. Page was the one who dealt with the Fighter planes and we must say she did it brilliantly considering the amount of ammunition that she possessed on her. She even needed to use her own assault rifle to take down one of those fighter jets which itself is considered a feat."

"Well, okay. I did see that too." Jin realised he was being too hasty and also taken aback by how the Tactical System was being very defensive for the Grey Bear Squad's one and only combat medic. He recalled how she jumped out of her plane to not just spray bullets onto a fighter jet but also released a couple of grenades. Initially, it was meant to be used as a smoke bomb, a distraction to block the fighter jet's vision as she dived back down to the rocket plane which she commanded with her extensive use of nanobots to control.

But coincidentally, one of the grenades happened to not explode based on its programmed time delay, causing it to be stuck into the fighter jet's crevices and subsequently explode. What was supposed to be a mere distraction in order to let Lynn do her job into crashing the last few bomber aircraft became an iconic scene among the surviving fighter jets as they saw yet another Mechanoid once again destroying a plane by herself using nothing but bullets and bombs in the air.

"Not to mention, she had the finesse to land the rocket plane within the compounds of the Mount Sunn Workshop without causing much damage." The Tactical System added and Jin nodded his head in agreement in order to stop it from talking so much.

"Okay, okay. I get where you are coming from. To give credit where it is due. I understand and will praise her accordingly." It was not every time the Tactical System gets a win and acknowledgement from its User so it happily accepted his defeat.

And even as Lynn and Page eventually returned safely to Mount Sunn Workshop, they never had any moment of rest. Jin and the remaining Mechanoids continued their desperate fight against the incoming waves of Mechanoids and Nie was also concerned that the rate of attrition might be higher as the night comes.

The fire had died down and all that was illuminating the battlefield were the stars and the two half moons (Yes, they have two moons.) The occasional fire from the defensive artillery did not show the whole picture and most of Jin's sensors had been annihilated. And to make things worse, the enemies were playing hard to catch by not attacking until they moved closer.

Nie had switched some of the artillery to fire flare rounds so that they could light up the area temporarily and that was where the defensive Mechanoids were able to aim and predict where they were coming from. However, it was still not effective and the only solution was for Jin and Lynn, the two close combat personnel to enter the fray and fight against the incoming horde.

Initially, Jin wanted to go himself since he knew that his wide area Maqi sensing would assist with the targeting but there was no way Lynn would allow him to venture alone in the darkness. Maybe if he was of a higher grade, she might close an eye or two but with these numbers and seeing how Jin might move further away from the base, Lynn had decided to tag along regardless of his orders.

"Just give those two lovebirds some personal space." Click snorted as she boosted the communication equipment so that whatever they received from their commander could be relayed effectively to the rest of the group.

"Remember to come back in one piece." Page warned Jin while Yinn reported that she will continue to monitor the rear in case of any sudden intrusion as the rest took some time to recharge their batteries and swap with their commander if needed.

"Don't forget to bring some goodies back," Tellie said as she hinted that it might be useful to bring back items and equipment that could be useful if there was a need for a long war.

"I understand. I try not to damage the goods and will ping them for our Mechanoids to pick up." Jin said as he looked over to Page. Their eye contact was more than enough to know that the combat medic would do whatever she need to convert the Mechanoids to their side so that they would have more manpower. (or Mecha power?)

As for now, the night hunt begins.
