40 chapter 40
He thought,"There is thirty seconds between cannon blasts."
The boy spoke over the pair's helmet communicators,"It is thirty seconds between every blast from the main cannon. I have not figured out the cool down for the Uzis between repeated firings. I will tell you when I find that out. I think I got a plan so do not waste any gun energy until we are ready. Over."
Kill Joy spoke,"Roger! I will keep that in mind."
The boy shouted over the intercom, "The two Uzis can only fire for five minutes at a time and it requires one full minute before the guns can fire again. This is the plan..."
#
The two were ready to carry out their plan. They had managed to keep silent until the attack was to be carried out.
Kill Joy uses his sniper rifle to fire upon the left mounted Uzi with a large explosive shot that destroyed the gun. Then the right mounted gun was destroyed as well. The main gun was in between blasts when he jumps right in front of the cannon barrel.
The boy counts out loud,"21,22,23,24,25,26,"
The barrel was directly pointed at the boy squarely,
The boy says,"27,28," then he fires his bazooka directly at the cannon barrel and the blast goes inside the barrel.
The boy jumps out of the way while yelling out,"Duck and cover!"
Both of the warriors were at a safe distance when the tank barrel explodes into pieces and then
the whole tank bursts into broken parts. The tank crew were now BBQ.
Kill Joy shouts,"Boy, that was a heck of a plan!"
The boy responds,"That is what He has given me, so I just ran with it. But let us keep on guard this is a war zone."

The two walked for miles traveling through abandoned homes that revealed that the people were just here less one than an hour ago.
The boy speaks,"It was like they knew we were coming. It does not feel right to me."
The pair looked through the entire house but could find nothing.
Kill Joy spoke,"You are right! You think that had some sort of new kind of radar detection?"
The boy spoke,"Do not know, it is possible, though. I heard from records that the Ibor faction is on the decline."
Joy spoke,"That is what I heard from the reports as well. The factions were dead even until about one hundred years when something changed everything."
The pair went to the house and repeated the pattern of searching.
The boy spoke,"That was the reports grow vague and then grow overly detailed soon after."
Kill Joy spoke,"It was said to be some sort of secret weapon that was super effective in targeting major government and military centers."
The boy added on,"Yeah, but why not continue using it. If it was us that did it then we must
have ran out of whatever resource, or been banned from continuing from using it."
The two then start speaking pig Rindat so that they would not be overheard anymore.
The boy spoke,"It sounds strange to me since we should have finished the war before we were even born, unless..."
The comrade spoke,"Unless what, my friend? You think it was an attack from a third party?'
The boy spoke,"Possibly, but I am not for sure. The secret military would be in a circle jerk, bragging about what new weapon had done it if that was the case."
Kill Joy laughed.
The boy spoke,"You know, right?
Kill Joy spoke,"Unless the war profiteers got butt hurt!"
The boy like that the comment and laughed.
The boy spoke,"Possible, I still believe that some kind of force intervene for our faction. Even though on a supposed decline, the Ibor still had the ability to see us coming even though we are completely undetectable on all know kinds of known radar. No heat is given off by the transport carrier or any noise or lights for that matter."
Kill joy interjected,"Could there had been a mole among us? What do you think about it."
The boy spoke,"I do not think so since pretty all the battles we fought against the Ibor faction since the "event" had occurred. Why would someone wanna work for the losing side? It is not likely since people like to do the least amount of work to get ahead."
Joy spoke,"It is the bandwagon effect."
The boy spoke,"That is correct Joy."
The house seems to be normal like those in the Urano faction.
The boy spoke,"They do not seem all that different than ourselves."
Kill Joy spoke,"I know, it makes me cringe inside."
The boy spoke,"But, we are powerless to do anything about it. Even if we are wrong, we must
fight to the finish or be punished for it!"
Kill Joy spoke,"Humph! Assassination or suicide, that is the penalty for treason. Our family would be threaten by the secret military which bands people into blind obedience. The life of someone that does not even exist anymore!"
Kill Joy and the Boy had continued their searched for combatants for miles but cannot found
anyone.
The boy spoke,"This does not feel right, Joy. It makes my bones ache!"
The medic was flowing behind his comrade and letting the close ranged expert go first.
Kill Joy responded,"I know the feeling and it is like having butterflies in my stomach.
The boy spoke,"From the logs I read, the Ibor are pacifists at their core and thus developed very
good defensive technology. They might be able to teleport it's people through a simple bracelet or necklace. It had been rumored but never proven to be the gospel truth."
Kill Joy spoke while walking,"I heard the same thing and the body armor contains some sort of anti interference machinery. It even closes up minor to medium wounds without no treatment needed."
The boy spoke,"I can barely feel the wound in my arm and I have no loss of functionality. There is probably some kind of nanotechnology within the suits. I heard some talk about it but I did not have the clearance to research further. I have only a level five top secret clearance due to being an administration assistant to some of the officers under General Hagotti. I had seen some serious junk over the last couple years. But, I know far two well that I worked under a "zero witness, no one saw anything" policy. "
Kill Joy spoke,"I know that motto even more at clearance level three."
The two stopping talking when they saw some some enemy troops exiting some houses.
The boy fires his bazooka into the open door of the house.
The whole house explodes into broken shards of men and various other unintelligible objects up rotating in endless different directions.
