Counterattack

With the help of Elisa under the supervision of Jian and Anthon, the operation was being carried out properly, each team was moving to its respective position, inside one of the vehicles that was on the way to the hill was a group of magicians, "Why? Do you think they serve so many vehicles? We are only 5000 in the artillery squad, we easily fit in 100 transport vehicles, however, the convoy is made up of more than 300 ", another of the crew replied" I'm really not sure, but everything this has surprised me, DreamTech has hidden many things, I would not be surprised if these vehicles are some type of weapon that they plan to use ".

While the people inside the vehicles made their own discussions, Elisa's voice began to sound inside each vehicle, "Very well we have arrived, please, everyone equip yourselves and get into the pre-established positions", each of the transport vehicles was position in an area of ​​the hill and began to open, inside each vehicle there were 50 people, who got out quickly but without first taking a helmet, an armband and a MAD, after equipping themselves they went to their respective places, behind them , the other vehicles that, unlike the tanks, used a levitation system to move, stopped and fell slowly to the ground, then 3 compartments were opened on the lower sides of each vehicle, from which mechanical legs came out that soon gripped strongly to the ground and the vehicles were raised, then the top of each vehicle was opened revealing several long guns, some simply sectioned aron and several compartments with different gaps came into view.

Everyone present was somewhat stunned by the sight, they knew this type of weapon, after all they were weapons from a not too distant past, however, the magicians showed to be much more efficient than any of these artillery devices, but they understood that probably given the current situation, any available weapon had to be used.

Once the entire artillery squad was in position, inside the command room Elisa spoke "sir, the artillery squad is ready, you can start the bombardment at any time", once he heard Elisa's words, Anthon replied very well, according to Abel's words, you could take care of all the analysis and designate suitable objectives, I want you to show me the squads that need support at this moment ", a table quickly appeared from the floor, on the table a map of the whole city, in which points with different names could be seen "Sir, on this map you can see the whole city, the blue points indicate the different squadrons, and the red ones the invaders. As for the artillery we have 200 units of cannons, 100 missiles and 100 wizard units with 50 members in each one".

After hearing the information, the general sighed, although they seemed many, they are really few, he wanted to send many more magicians, but there were really few magicians who specialized in artillery magic, so he could only get 5000 magicians, after observing the map and Elisa's recommendations, Anthon chose several goals that he designated as priorities.

When the magicians of the artillery squad put on their respective helmets, they noticed that in the frontal area of each helmet there was a glass that covered their eyes, after a minute the glass lit up and projected the image of a location in which it was they could see several soldiers using various types of weapons and magic to defend themselves from the invaders, the screen also indicated all the necessary data to be able to hit the spell, in turn everyone could hear the voice of Elisa de los helmets "The objective is designated, the general has given the order to fire ", quickly each magician within each group of 50 began to take distance and position while rhythmically pressing their MAD, the artillery spells had to be executed by several magicians, so each squad trained for years together, this is one of the main reasons why there were few artillery magicians ".

After the different magic sequences finished, the person in the center of each formation, squeezed his MAD and pointed his arm diagonally to the sky, around 50 people a circle of various colors could be seen, then it simply disappeared, on the other hand In the battlefield where the soldiers were in a fierce battle, several circles could be seen in the sky, after a few seconds, several explosions appeared in the middle of the invaders, in some cases huge fireballs fell, in others a ball Of ice, or some lightning, the spells were varied, but all had one purpose and were to cause the greatest amount of destruction.

Seeing this, the soldiers on the battlefield regained some hope, apparently the message was real, and help had already begun, on the other hand, on the hill where the magicians were, after the first round they were preparing for the Second, however, they began to hear mechanical sounds from the rear, when they turned around they could see how the artillery devices were preparing to fire, after each cannon fixed its objective, several magic circles could be appreciated around each of the cannons followed by a small whistle, finally it was possible to see how different objects came out of the cannons at high speed.

Seeing this, the artillery squad mages were quite confused after all the artillery is supposed to be loud, and from what you could see each cannon fired several projectiles in a very short time, so one of the squad leaders spoke with Elisa, "Can you show me, where are those cannons firing?", Elisa responded quickly, "Request accepted", Then on her screen she could see one of the closest places to the Portal where there were hundreds of thousands of the invaders, after a second hundred explosions appeared all over the field, leaving behind hundreds of dismembered and charred bodies ".

Anthon and Jian were seeing the same image from the control room, they were quite surprised, since the artillery was firing too fast and the destruction it left was too great, Jian couldn't help but ask, "Elisa this artillery exactly how does it work? ", To which Elisa responded with a hologram of the Vehicle" it is called RFMA rapid fire magic artillery, unlike other conventional artillery, it uses magic acceleration sequences along the barrel to fire, so it does not need gunpowder, and the only thing that gets hot is the firing tube, the spells we use are continuous and low consumption so they can be on for quite some time, we use several types of ammunition, at this moment we are using the impact ammunition, within each projectile there is a compound that releases energy according to the force of the impact ".

Hearing Elisa's words, Anthon and Jian showed a bit of surprise followed by a bit of calm "although there weren't much of these weapons, with their rate of fire they could provide significant help." While the artillery fire began, the troops in charge of the counter attack were preparing, everyone felt a mixture of fear and nervousness, they were going to fight against an unknown enemy, and from what they knew thousands of human beings had already died .

A group of 500 magicians was outside the DreamTech facilities, "I can't believe they gave us the task of being babysitters", the one who had just spoken was a young-looking man, quite tall, he was considered one of the best magical fighters of his generation, his name was Dimitri Sokolov, after he finished complaining, a woman's voice replied "Dimitri is an order from the leader, I know you wanted to take advantage of the situation to achieve some achievements, but remember that we are members of the Guild The Guardian and above all we are members of the 10 Clans so we have a duty to fulfill ", the voice belonged to Yong Park, who, considered a celebrity due to his beautiful features and his talent with magic, both ended turning 60 and were sent to be sub-leaders of the Black Wolf Squad, one of the Guild's elite squads.

While both were arguing, a rather older looking man replied "Both of you be quiet, this is not the time for your silly discussions, the mission is much more important than you think, just like the leader Jian I think Abel can be someone important to him future of the 10 clans, so we have to keep it safe ", the name of the person who just spoke was Pedro García and he was a man who was about to turn 200 years old and he was one of the 10 people sent to lead the Gremio in turn, was the captain of the squad of black wolves.

After a few minutes, a man and a woman approached who did not look older than Dimitri or Yong, after a military salute they replied "You must be Captain García, my name is Alfons Wiliams and I am the lieutenant of the 10th division. of infantry of the reserve army, next to me is Second Lieutenant Erika Dubois, we have been sent under her orders, by General Anthon ".

Pedro nodded and replied, "very well, however, the squad leader will not be me, in fact we are waiting for him at this time", Alfons had already been warned by his father, this mission consisted mainly of taking care of the child he had managed to organize This whole operation, so I was very curious to meet him, however, he thought that Pedro was the one who would be in charge, while the 5 people chatted, it was possible to see how one of the huge doors of the DreamTech loading and unloading area came out several vehicles, all seemed heavily armored, with several weapons coming out of the top, the caravan was led by 6 huge tanks, the caravan moved fast until it stopped in front of the 1500 people, immediately one of the vehicles that looked like a huge boxes with caterpillars it was opened and a figure of almost 2 meters came out.

After he got out, and stood in front of the 5 people, the first to speak was Pedro "So you must be Abel, right", a mechanical voice from which the gender could not be differentiated replied "Right, I appreciate your company in This mission, I will explain what it consists of, we are going to enter the city, behind the first wave, our main objective is to capture 5 invaders, this mission is very important since we do not know anything about them, and I hope to be able to use these 5 specimens to learn more about them and be able to decipher their strengths and weaknesses ".

Hearing Abel's words, ignoring the strange circumstances of the armor, they understood the importance of the mission, after all well-used information is a weapon that can win wars, after exchanging a couple of words, the order of They all got into the vehicles, so the convoy quickly moved towards the city.
