"Begin the operation!"
Gai Tsutsugami's words rang out.
Dozens of missiles fired in unison, streaking across the sky with beautiful trails of white exhaust.
The instant the missiles launched, the GHQ Antibody Squad detected that their trajectories were headed toward them.
"Missiles incoming! Prepare to intercept!"
Most of the GHQ Antibody Squad focused all their attention on the missiles.
By the time they looked back, Kanae Kocho had vanished.
The civilians scattered and fled as well.
At that point, the GHQ Antibody Squad could not be bothered with the fleeing civilians and focused entirely on Funeral Parlor.
The antiaircraft laser cannons activated one after another.
The Antibody Squad's commanding officer ordered, "Don't let them escape!"
The missiles struck, and several tanks exploded on the spot.
Facing Funeral Parlor's attack, Daryl Yan grew excited and quickly ran into the mech's connection pod.
More than a dozen Mass-Produced Endlaves activated and began advancing toward the direction the missiles had come from.
Piloting a new humanoid weapon, Daryl Yan led the charge and rapidly closed in on the armored vehicle Argo was driving.
Even once he was close enough to destroy the armored vehicle with a simple lift of his hand, Daryl Yan still toyed with Argo like a cat playing with a mouse.
Once Argo had lured Daryl Yan and the other Mass-Produced Endlaves away, Funeral Parlor's other squads began moving as well.
Tsugumi's voice came over the headset. "Positions red, yellow, and blue secured. Seven to go until the designated distance. Ayase, those little ones are in your hands."
"Leave it to me."
With that, Ayase Shinomiya connected to over a hundred little robots and controlled them as they spread out through the surrounding area.
Elsewhere, Daryl Yan was still toying with Argo.
"Ahahaha! Look! I'm about to step on you!"
