Ibuki Suika Comes to Challenge the Mountain / One Against a Thousand
Over the past few days, Suika has given every operator involved in this operation a Great Fortune Sigil.
In this near-tightrope walk, a little bit of luck might be the only chance for everyone to survive.
"Then be careful in everything you do."
After saying goodbye to Amiya Suika turned into mist in front of everyone and disappeared into the safe house.
Even though it wasn't the first time they'd seen it, this move still amazed many people.
After leaving the safe house, Suika originally planned to go straight to her target.
But on the way, she heard a muffled sound coming from afar.
She looked in the direction and realized it was a wealthy people's villa area.
I floated over to take a look, and exclaimed, "Wow, what a sight!"
This area was separating from Chernobog, and then, to the astonishment and bewilderment of the people in the neighboring blocks, this area lost its connection with Chernobog.
Suika quickly took out her camera, snapped a picture of the scene, and then sent the message to Amiya.
"How dare they..." Amiya's face turned red with anger when she heard that the rich people of Chernobog had really run away.
"This is actually a good thing for us."
Many people have noticed the separation of this module, and once the news gets out, the city will only become more chaotic.
This reduced our stress level a bit.
ACE, who was standing nearby, offered words of comfort to Amiya.
Although it may sound gloating, it is the truth.
The more chaotic the situation, the more advantageous it is for Rhodes Island, and the higher the chance of rescuing the Doctor.
Chapter 411 Ibuki Suika comes to pay her respects at the mountain.
After sending the message to Amiya, Suika quickly arrived at the location of the core layer control center.
As the heart of Chernobog, it is naturally garrisoned by the most elite troops.
Suika estimated that if it weren't for her, other teams probably wouldn't have been able to break through the first checkpoint.
Besides the Black Snake's strength, the Reunion Movement likely made a lot of underhanded deals to control this situation.
Otherwise, given the military's strength, even if the Reunion Movement were to fill all the troops stationed on the core level with their defenses, it probably wouldn't be enough.
Don't assume that Infected are invincible just because they all possess unique skills. Keep in mind that the advanced equipment that most Infected and ordinary people cannot buy is practically worthless to the military.
Weapons made from various Originium and facilities designed to counter Originium Arts are plentiful.
Just like the army of Carrion Eaters, which Rhodes Island was no match for, they did not suffer a complete defeat against the Victoria army.
It's important to know that most Victoria soldiers don't possess any Originium Arts.
With their various weapons and equipment, they managed to suppress the main force of the Carrion Eater Royal Court on the main battlefield.
If it weren't for the fact that each of the Grand Dukes had their own agendas, and were more focused on internal strife than dealing with the Sarkaz, Londinium probably wouldn't have taken so long to settle the score.
So when Suika saw the rows of defensive lines below, she knew she had come to the right place.
Because the mastermind behind the Black Snake not only didn't cause trouble but actually added fuel to the fire, and Rhodes Island's entry application alerted them, plus the ruthless Old Nobility knew that the Core City's control area absolutely couldn't be lost if the plan were to succeed, so the defenses here were terrifyingly strong.
However, this kind of defense posed no problem for Suika. If she really intended to shut down the core of Chernobog, she could simply turn into mist, enter through the ventilation vents, and then use the Secret Key to shut down the core.
But this was only second in her action plan; attracting the attention of the Ursus Military was the priority.
She stood on a tall building with her arms crossed, looking down at the enemy lines not far below. In less than ten seconds, she felt several pairs of eyes staring at her.
This is a military lookout post in the area.
Suika's undisguised behavior naturally did not escape their notice.
After realizing she had attracted attention, Suika pressed her earphone.
"I'm starting my operation now, so be careful!"
After saying that, she stepped out of the building and began to fall rapidly downwards.
After her sudden appearance, the scouts who had been reporting the presence of a suspicious person just a second before receiving further inquiries from their superiors witnessed that the suspicious person—jumping off the building.
Just as they were about to report this, Suika fell to the ground.
With a silent thud and a cloud of dust, Suika landed on the ground in a very iconic hero-like landing.
Then, to the incredulous gazes of the Ursus soldiers within the forward defensive line, he stood up.
"Mount Oe Ghost King"
Ibuki Suika
I've come to pay my respects at the mountain!
Having said that, before the opponent could react, he suddenly swung his fist. The move [Power of the Mount Oe Tempest] demonstrated its terrifying advantage in this densely populated area.
With one punch, many people in the front line were blown into the air and crashed into the rear line, instantly losing consciousness.
This was only because Suika deliberately held back.
After all, she wasn't there to kill anyone, but to draw attention and stall the Ursus army.
Therefore, wounded Ursus soldiers are more useful than dead Ursus soldiers.
If too many people die, the enemy might feel a sense of shared loss and become desperate, ignoring the wounded and having friendly forces bombard this area. This would be meaningless for Suika's plan.
However, if there are a lot of wounded, the enemy will have to spare some people to take care of the wounded while dealing with Suika. If they don't have enough people, they will have to ask other units for reinforcements.
If more Ursus troops come from our side, the number of troops from other places will naturally decrease.
The defending troops reacted very quickly.
Before Suika could throw her second punch, the opposing team began to organize a counterattack.
Various arrows, etched bullets, Originium Bomb, bomb drones, and spells bombarded this area.
Faced with a variety of attacks from the front, Suika neither dodged nor evaded, but simply waved her hand.
Then a powerful force spread outwards, activating and detonating the bombs, drones, and spells in mid-air, while smaller bullets and arrows fell to the ground.
"I've heard that the Ursus army is formidable, but I think they're nothing special."
After speaking, Suika raised her arm and transformed it into a palm blade, unleashing a series of slashes at the defensive line.
With a loud bang, a mark several meters long appeared on the front line.
The cannon behind that line was instantly rendered useless.
Upon seeing this, the surrounding Ursus troops immediately dispersed.
After seeing the opponents spread out, Suika jumped onto a lamppost and took a deep breath.
Then, facing the countless attacks, it suddenly spewed out a long stream of flame.
Because her movements were deliberately long before they started (intentionally), the soldiers in that direction cleverly retreated to the rear of the defensive line when they realized she was staring in their direction.
So, aside from causing a burning sensation and making it difficult for many people to breathe, as if their lungs were being burned, her fire did not cause any actual death.
But the terrifying heat also terrified the soldiers.
Even at a distance of tens of meters from the flames, they could be burned. They dared not imagine whether, if they hadn't escaped immediately, they would have had any chance of being left with nothing but bones.
Seeing the enemy gathering in the distance, Suika threw another punch. A hurricane rushed into the trench, and many people were swept into the air before they could react, crashing into the defensive line behind them and falling to the ground, their fate unknown.
Meanwhile, the military personnel felt a bitter taste in their mouths.
Because when Suika breathed fire, many of the attacks hit the opponent, but those attacks had no effect after hitting them, and even disintegrated without producing an explosion.
While many soldiers were still reeling from the shock of what kind of monster they were facing, the first line of defense was breached.
Suika jumped onto the first line of defense, deliberately waited a moment to give the opponent a chance to catch their breath, and then launched another attack on the front line.
Her arrogant fighting style and terrifying combat power quickly reached the army's command headquarters.
Upon receiving the message from the core command, the headquarters immediately dispatched surrounding troops to provide support.
The largest part of them consisted of the army stationed around the Sarcophagus.
After the deaths of Boris and Sergei, who were most concerned about this place, the staff at headquarters did not think that a laboratory could be more important than the core of Chernobog.
Chapter 412 One Against a Thousand
As soon as the defensive forces at the Sarcophagus Research Institute moved, Scout, who had been monitoring the area, immediately sent the message to Amiya, who was already prepared.
Weary of the World One Seven Nine Nine Four Three One Six Four
Amiya led her team immediately toward the Sarcophagus.
"How's things going with Suika?"
Upon arriving at the Sarcophagus Research Institute, Amiya took a deep breath and, instead of immediately entering, inquired about Suika, who was responsible for drawing the fire from the other side.
Mantra, who had broken into the Chernobog army's communication network, was deeply shocked as he listened to the constant calls for reinforcements and reports of certain detachments being "completely wiped out" and the defenses being breached.
Because Suika is facing Ursus's well-prepared and prepared regular army all by herself.
Even under these circumstances, she was still able to push through the opponent's defenses with a significant advantage.
Upon hearing Amiya's question, Mantra snapped out of her shock and swallowed hard.
"It should be alright. Among the communications intercepted from the Ursus Military so far, Suika still holds the advantage."
Amiya felt somewhat relieved after hearing the news and led her people to infiltrate the research institute.
They quickly located the Sarcophagus where the Doctor was and opened it.
However, upon opening the Sarcophagus, they discovered that his condition was quite poor; if they took him away directly, the Doctor's current physical condition simply could not support his survival.
With no other option, Amiya immediately decided to have the medics perform emergency treatment on the spot, while the squad's combat personnel guarded the entrance to prevent the Ursus army from returning.
Meanwhile, ACE, Nearl, and the Blaze team, who were on guard nearby, felt a chill run down their spines after receiving her message.
After all, no one knows how long Suika's side can hold out. If Suika can't hold out and has to retreat, the Ursus troops will most likely withdraw to their defensive line, and these "scattered soldiers" will then face the regular army from Ursus.
However, since things had come to this, they could only carefully observe their surroundings and wait for Amiya to finish her treatment and for the Doctor to evacuate the research institute.
The news also reached Suika. After just repelling a round of concentrated fire from the Ursus army, Suika glanced at the army coming to reinforce from the direction of the Sarcophagus.
Knowing the plot from the Doctor, she wasn't surprised. Just to be on the safe side, she turned her attention to that unit and charged straight at them amidst flames and raging winds.
Ten minutes later, Suika let out a sigh of relief.
The surrounding Ursus troops were either dead or wounded; the scene was one of utter devastation.
Although she had considered holding back, this was a battlefield, and she was facing the most elite warriors. Many times, even if she wanted to back down, when the opponent got angry and used a fight to the death, all she could do was protect herself and watch the opponent rush in with Originium Bomb and then be blown to Skullshatterer.
However, she achieved her goal. The reinforcements that came from the Sarcophagus were directly scattered by her, and their losses exceeded 70%.
Considering that this team had the most firepower among the reinforcements, Ursus did not notice anything unusual.
Moreover, even if they knew there was a problem at the Sarcophagus Research Institute, they couldn't spare any teams to go and provide support.
After the block where the high-level officials were located separated from Chernobog, the Ursus government lost control of Chernobog.
Upon learning that the mayor had led the "escape," the "rumors" that had been circulating on Rhodes Island before finally came to a head.
The people of Ursus in the city were filled with fear, and many of them wandered the streets. Some even started arson, murder, and looting.
Ursus's own police force was overwhelmed by the chaos in the entire city and could only barely control the situation in a part of the core area.
The military, unable to move after being suppressed by Suika in the Core City, faced a dilemma.
If we don't reinforce the Core City, given the terrifying speed of that enemy's advance, she might be able to rush into the movement module and change Chernobog's direction of movement before Chernobog even reaches its destination.
However, if more troops are sent, it will be impossible to defend other important locations.
At this moment, in the military staff headquarters, all they could do was curse as they watched the series of bad news coming from the defense line.
The messages clearly indicated that there was only one person attacking the core area, yet they couldn't take down the opponent and were instead losing wave after wave of teams to them.
She had already breached a third of their defenses, and with reinforcements dwindling, they believed it was only a matter of time before the remaining two-thirds were broken through.
The general staff simply didn't understand, but the soldiers on the front lines were already itching to curse.
They used every method they could think of to deal with Suika.
Use Originium Bomb to relentlessly bombard the area where Suika is located.
The snipers around them were out of ammunition and their weapons were almost unusable, but the enemy they were facing was completely unharmed.
