Chapter 112: CH 104

The Metal Iris troops started bombarding the Enyo with the new model MBTs, the Fighting Bulls, at the forefront of the action.

The multi-role fighters that switched their configurations to close ground support took off one after another from the Aristides and launched their wire-guided missiles at the Enyo as well.

In order to protect the Enyo, Ant Workers, Soldiers, and Commanders all gathered to provide cover, but the Metal Iris armored combat vehicles wiped them all off from the back.

A group of half-tracked armored combat vehicles daringly ran circles around the enemies. They were equipped with the new 120mm dual recoil spring recoilless gun.

The dual recoil spring system cushions the recoil in two stages and channels it backward so that it isn’t applied to the vehicle’s suspension. Therefore, it wasn’t suitable for rapid-fire weapons.

However, due to the barrel being shortened, it was possible for even light armored vehicles to be equipped with large-caliber guns. They were practically perfect for light armored vehicles.

Behind the half-tracks were armored combat vehicles equipped with large ground-to-ground guided missiles and multiple rocket launchers.

Their combined firepower was enough to wipe out the surrounding Keres.

「A fighting bull huh. This is definitely a machine that’s born to fight. I’ll have to thank Kou for making them.」

Rick muttered under his breath within his MCS.

Fighting Bull. It was equipped with a 150mm railgun and electromagnetic armor powered by a storage-type metallic hydrogen engine. Its defensive power was several times better than any previous model.

Even if projectiles such as armor-piercing shells or lasers do manage to penetrate the outer armor of the tank, they would be dissolved or diffused by the internal plasma layer.

It was also equipped with a 35mm multi-barreled autocannon and ground-to-ground missiles as secondary weapons.

Unlike the Dragoon tanks that were developed under the premise of joint operations with Silhouettes, the Fighting Bulls specialized solely in combat.

Their overall fighting power was considerable when they operated in groups.

「All troops focus on the Enyo. Concentrate fire and take it down!」

A scout machine that also serves as a front-line spotter successfully placed a marker on the Enyo.

The tank corps surrounded the Enyo as they fired away.

The large-caliber railgun rounds finally penetrated the Enyo’s armor.

Currently, there was no ace pilot inside a high-end custom machine or a chosen one piloting a one-off super robot on the battlefield.

There were just the inhabitants of Planet Asia performing each of their roles in an exemplary manner and fighting hard against the threats before them.

The bombardment didn’t let up.

The Enyo was modeled after an insect. It had no sense of pain. It returned fire with its lasers and railguns, destroying several armored vehicles.

「Fire support unit, back up a bit more!」

Due to their high firepower, the half-tracked armored vehicles tended to go in too deep at times. They hurriedly fell back.

The attack aircrafts unleashed a barrage of air-to-ground missiles.

The Enyo finally fell off-balance after taking consecutive direct hits from the railguns, air-to-ground missiles, and support artillery fire.

The Quattro Silhouettes, wielding their lances like the cavalry troops of old, launched their attack from the Enyo’s blind spot in order to destroy its power unit.

And finally, the Enyo was brought down.

One Quattro Silhouette managed to pierce its power unit with its burst lance.

「Enyo, successfully destroyed! Switch over to taking control of the city block and control tower while mopping up the remaining enemy forces!」

Rick roared his command to the rest of the troops.

It was a victory achieved through the impressive cooperation between tanks, armored combat vehicles, aircraft, and Silhouettes.

The Metal Iris forces moved on to mop up the remaining enemies.

The most enthusiastic ones were the Quattro Silhouettes that were piloted by Therianthropes who applied to join Metal Iris.

「I will never forgive you Murders! For my slain brethren!」

The Therianthropes were also targets of eradication by the Murders like the Familiars. Many of them fought for revenge driving cheap armored cars because they were unable to pilot Silhouettes and ultimately perished.

But now, they were given Silhouettes that they could pilot. So it was understandable that they would retaliate against their hated enemies with such zeal.

Metal Iris also suffered a lot of damage during the battle. Marl and Flack continued to repair armored cars and Quattro Silhouettes that were being brought back to the ship’s maintenance hangar one after another.

「Mar-chan! Flack-kun! Leave this place to us. A damaged machine outside is too tough for us to repair.」

A middle-aged woman piloting a work Silhouette called out to the two.

A Quattro Silhouette with a damaged leg was waiting just outside the ship.

Because it was too different from regular bipedal Silhouettes, it was too much to handle for the newly joined mechanics.

「A Quattro, right? We’ll leave this place to you guys then!」

「Yeah, leave it to us! We’ll keep repairing these tanks and armored cars in a flash!」

The pilot of the Silhouette working beside the two expressed his enthusiasm.

The ones who were supporting the two were former Kurt Maschinenbau employees who were burning with rage against the Stones. They were already used to handling work Silhouettes.

Even though they were worried about heading to an active battlefield at first, they immediately got fired up when they learned that children were actually taking care of the repair work.

They were also happy that they could be of use in battle.

The two kids headed out of the ship carrying a replacement leg.

They immediately detached the damaged leg from the Quattro Silhouette and began replacing it.

At this time, two Telkhines that should have been waiting for a good opportunity to launch an attack suddenly jumped out.

「Moving in to intercept the enemies! Let’s go, Flack!」

「Got it, Ma-chan!」

This pair of young siblings was different from before.

They now each piloted a new high-class work Silhouette model, the Woodpecker, that was designed by Kou. Its combat ability actually far exceeded that of a last-generation Bear.

Marl retrieved a weapon from her machine’s backpack and attached it to her machine’s right arm. It was a drill.

A multipurpose catapult launcher was equipped on its left arm.

「Take this! Have a taste of the three-stage secret technique I’ve learned from Voy-san!」

Voy taught Marl the supposed ‘secret technique’ on the condition that she kept it secret from Kou. It seemed to be a special technique derived from Kou’s previous work on Earth.

It seemed Voy had taught Marl something ridiculous.

「Lathe machining-style secret technique! First stage, Primary Driven Gear!」

First, Marl shot out an alloy wire using the catapult launcher on her machine’s left arm and stopped a Telkhines in its tracks.

It was an attack unique to a work Silhouette used in jobs requiring precision.

「Drill on the right! Endmill on the left! Second stage, Secondary Driven Gear!」

Marl’s machine switched from a catapult launcher to an endmill.

It scraped the surface of the Telkhines’ armor.

「With this, it’s over! Final! Driven Gear!」

Finally, the Woodpecker slammed its huge drill on the Telkhines’ abdomen. The Telkhines that couldn’t move shuddered violently from the blow.

The drill pierced through its power pack, completely shutting it down.

「I did it, Master Voy! How about that, Flack!?」

Marl turned back and witnessed her little brother battle a Telkhines as well.

Bam!

A dull sound akin to plywood being penetrated rang out. A huge pile bunker pierced the chest of the Telkhines.

The weapon used by Marl’s little brother Flack was a giant pile bunker.

「Hitting them with a pile bunker is faster and more efficient, Ma-chan.」

He was a little brother who always opted to point out the truth.

「Oh, c’mon. Don’t say something like that.」

Even though she achieved a splendid victory, Marl’s mood was dampened for some reason.

However, even though she did keep it a secret from Kou as promised, she ended up boasting about it to Aimer later on. Aimer got to know about it and went to Kou, asking him to teach her the secret technique as well.

Kou obviously got mad when he learned of the matter. And as a result–

Voy was made to sit in a seiza position for an hour and was eventually sentenced to a week without honey.

A few days later, Kou ended up earnestly giving the three kids an overview of 21st century Earth’s processing technology.
