Chapter 358: Executioner's Mishap

"What are you doing? Quickly bring down that thing in the sky!"

The human PMC leader who hadn't yet joined the charge of the two mechs was unaware of the situation outside and only saw the Sangvis doll targeting the ground.

But he had explicitly instructed them to take down the airborne threat first!

The aerial gunship was the real Grim Reaper hovering above!

The Sangvis Ferri droids that had just approached the factory were merely intimidating toys crafted by Sangvis Ferri.

Compared to military-grade dolls, Sangvis Ferri's droids were a tier below in both combat reaction and everyday actions. Sometimes, after receiving commands, these Sangvis Ferri Dolls would visibly hesitate.

If it weren't for their overwhelming numbers, Griffin's dolls alone could easily deal with these Sangvis Ferri toys!

"No! Boss! There's an Sangvis Ferri doll here causing trouble! Roze's mech had its legs severed by this guy!" The driver in the second mech shouted into the communicator while maneuvering the mech to raise its foot.

With a steel foot over a meter long, it descended towards the fallen Executioner!

Bang!

...

"Well, that's that," MDR shrugged as C96 beside her prepared to fire.

Who would've thought Executioner would be so reckless and charge in headfirst?

Of course, if the second mech didn't have that electromagnetic weapon, Executioner might have actually managed to topple both mechs. But unfortunately, there were no 'ifs' in this world. With this stomp, Executioner's brain would likely be mashed into pulp.

However, just as MDR shrugged and C96 was lost in thought, the mech below didn't stop after squashing Executioner.

Instead, it twisted its body and aimed its shoulder-mounted missile launcher at the aircraft in the sky!

"Ah..."

Simonov barely managed a cry of alarm before four missiles shot towards the aircraft!

And it didn't end there. The mech that had been incapacitated by Executioner's attack moments ago struggled to flip itself over and, lying on its back, also launched its missiles!

"Hey! C96! What are you daydreaming about!? Hurry up and take out those two!"

"Uh, I..."

Boom!

Nearly a dozen missiles hit the aircraft's armor almost simultaneously!

This time, the impact was severe, and MDR and C96 inside the cockpit were almost thrown out!

The aircraft's posture began to wobble violently due to the intense attack, and for the first time, Simonov who was trying to stabilize it was flustered.

But in her panic, Simonov inadvertently caused the aircraft to turn upside down and crash into a nearby factory building!

Boom!

Crash!

The tremendous impact of the aircraft's crash, coupled with the sound of steel twisting and breaking as the factory collapsed, darkened Renault's expression.

What a mess!

What were Simonov and MDR playing at!? He had ordered them to fire immediately, yet they had turned things into this disaster!

Renault wasn't particularly worried about MDR and the others in the aircraft. At such a low altitude, they wouldn't die from the fall; at most, they would be slightly bruised. As for the aircraft... it wasn't shot down by the recent attack. The high-strength alloy armor used on the aircraft wasn't the same as the local armor steel. It was the material used on the Bismuth-class battlecruisers and couldn't be penetrated by a few anti-tank missiles.

And he had seen it just now—the exterior armor of the aircraft had only a few inconspicuous dents; the anti-tank missiles hadn't pierced through.

The aircraft fell because of Simonov's frantic maneuvering!

What normal aircraft would flip over after hitting a building?

"Um, Commander, will Simonov and the others be okay?"

Seeing the fallen aircraft, MG3 and MP5 couldn't help but worry and asked Renault.

"They'll be fine. It won't kill them. Don't worry about them. They'll be back in the air soon enough. This minor damage won't scrap this thing. Let's hurry up; those three idiots are unreliable. Now, we have to take matters into our own hands."

With a headache, Renault scratched his head, checked his weapon's ammunition, and headed towards the factory where the two mechs had emerged from.

Seeing their commander charge out without hesitation, MG3 and MP5 could only shake their heads and follow suit.

...

In the distance? Could it be Griffin's dolls were in battle with Sangvis Ferri?

Just as Renault had no choice but to join the fray himself, not far from this factory area, in a shed, a doll suddenly leaped out from hiding and listened anxiously to the distant sounds of battle.

Although her only objective was to transmit the information on her, she couldn't help but worry. She feared that the other members of the AR Team hadn't escaped the encirclement by Sangvis Ferri.

And at this moment, amidst the gunfire and rumbling in the distance, it was likely that M16 and AR15 had also come this way!

After some internal conflict, M4A1 emerged from her hiding spot, cautiously holding her imprint weapon, and ran towards the direction of the sounds.

At the same time, MP5 and MG3, who had just cleared out an Sangvis Ferri patrol squad, stealthily followed the direction Executioner had retreated in.

Although they was worried, they had no choice but to ensure they found M4A1's location ahead of Sangvis Ferri. They had to keep up the pursuit, even though they might end up encountering Sangvis Ferri's elite doll units.

"What if we really have to fight Sangvis Ferri later?" MG3 couldn't help but express her concern as she looked at the dense footprints on the road ahead.

The two of them, plus a few dummy dolls, had indeed proven more than capable during the recent skirmish with a Sangvis Ferri patrol squad, but against Sangvis Ferri's elite doll units...?

"We... we should be fine, right? The Sangvis Ferri elite doll we saw earlier seemed quite easy to talk to," MP5 replied hesitantly. If things got too dangerous, they could always find Renault and hide behind him.
