LIGHTNOVELWORLD Chapter 417: Chapter 417: Timely Arrival
"The close combat echelons are being depleted too quickly! Can't we use condensers to block the routes these guys are attacking from!?"
"No! Condensers can't stop the heavy weapons carried by these Sangvis Ferri units!"
One shot is all it takes to blast through!
It's too dangerous to have support dolls move forward to deploy condensers at a time like this!
Not only would it result in significant damage to the support dolls, but it would also fail to achieve any combat effectiveness!
"How much longer until the AR Team can destroy Sangvis Ferri's communication node!?"
"It's still early! It's only been thirty minutes since then! There's still at least half an hour left! They'll be able to reach Sangvis Ferri's communication node location by then!"
"Darn it! Why does it feel like it's been a whole week already!"
Several Griffin commanders with guns in hand shouted at each other from safe positions, supporting the tactical dolls in front.
It looked extremely urgent, but evidently, the current situation was just very bad, but not bad enough to be directly overwhelmed by Sangvis Ferri.
The base they were in was built against a series of rifts had very narrow buildings and terrain below, making it very suitable for defense, especially when facing Sangvis Ferri units that didn't have advanced command and only attacking continuously according to remote command. Those Sangvis Ferri units were directly blocked in the underground canyons and narrow passages.
Although Sangvis Ferri's attacks were relentless, at this rate, they should still be able to hold out for at least two more hours, if nothing unexpected happened...
Kryuger certainly saw the current situation, as did Helian beside him. However, she didn't regret sending the commission request to Renault's side. After all, the current situation was just slightly better than they had expected, buying them some time.
She would prepare for the worst-case scenario, in case the AR Team's operation failed or the Griffin echelons outside didn't arrive in time to support.
Renault's presence was their last straw.
But now, it looks like Renault's support wasn't so needed after all. After all, they could still hold out for a while, enough for them to wait for the AR Team's successful operation.
The premise was that the AR Team's operation went smoothly.
Gentiane was certainly very confident about this. She had witnessed the combat effectiveness of the AR Team before. Before she took office in Area S09, they were able to confront elite Sangvis Ferri dolls for such a long time without a commander's command.
And they could even retreat in the end...
Well, although M16 was injured, her injuries were mainly caused by HK416 from Renault's side. Although AR15 had also been captured, she had basically taken the bait herself that time.
As for SOP2 and M4A1, no matter who they were, they were not captured by the dense Sangvis Ferri search teams.
Now, they just needed to destroy an Sangvis Ferri communication node, a task that was completely within reach for the AR Team.
Of course, it might not be as simple as she imagined, but Gentiane believed that the AR Team would definitely be able to complete this mission perfectly.
And then capture the elite Sangvis Ferri doll commanding the attack and bring them before her!
Then let that person taste what it's like to be hit on the head with a gun's butt!
"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!"
Gentiane who was checking the battle situation through the portable command system accidentally bumped her head on her wound again, causing her to suck in a cold breath.
"It's been thirty minutes now. Hasn't Renault arrived yet? It seems that we can save a large sum of commission fees this time."
Looking at the time, it had been exactly thirty minutes since Helian called Renault earlier.
If nothing unexpected happened, Renault would make it in time.
The AR Team was close to the communication node now. They just needed to hold on for another thirty to forty minutes, and they would be able to completely destroy the communication node over there.
And it wasn't just the AR Team; the elite tactical dolls sent out before had also arrived near the Sangvis Ferri communication node at this time.
Plus, with the command authority of the AR Team...
it seemed that Helian would be disappointed this time.
Boom!
Just as Kryuger was glad that they might save a large sum of commission fees this time, there was suddenly a loud noise from above their heads!
"What's that sound!?"
All the Griffin commanders present were startled.
"Could it be that those Sangvis Ferri guys have started shelling with heavy artillery again? Their autonomous unit echelons are still inside the base!"
"When have you ever seen Sangvis Ferri care about these ordinary droids?"
Even dolls weren't considered much in Sangvis Ferri's eyes; these machines were nothing but consumables.
"No! This isn't the sound of shelling!"
Gentiane frowned as she corrected them.
After she didn't hear any subsequent rumbling or feel any vibration under her feet..
This sound didn't sound like shelling at all; instead, it sounded like... the sonic boom caused by a plane breaking the sound barrier?
"What is th..."
Before the questions from several Griffin commanders could be asked, Helian's phone suddenly rang.
Originally maintaining a serious expression, Helian's face immediately lit up when she heard the phone ring, she subconsciously smiled.
And just this smile made all the Griffin commanders present stunned.
What did they see?
Helianthus was smiling!
Miss Helian who always had a serious expression was smiling!
And why was she smiling so sweetly!
It looked like she was going to give everyone a diabiates here just by herself!?
This smile which had never been revealed to the Griffin people before made the group of people stand still in place, completely unable to understand what was going on.
It was Kryuger on the other hand, who, after seeing the expression on Helian's face, suddenly felt a thump in his heart.
"Has Renault arrived?"
"That's right! The explosion above our heads is the sound they made when they came over!"
Looking at the information on her phone, Helian said with great certainty. Because not only was there this message, but even Renault's current position was directly above them!
"Well, don't get your hopes up too much. After all, Renault is just a small private security contractor, and it's unlikely that he has any extraordinary weapons at his disposal."
With the current number of Sangvis Ferri units, it's not a situation that can be easily resolved with some individual weapons.
Hearing Kryuger's words, Helian raised her eyebrows strangely. She was unable to understand why her boss would say this.
Extraordinary weapons? Isn't that certain? Renault definitely has them!
Not long after he came out of the Red Zone, he dared to equip his tactical dolls with powered armor and large-caliber machine guns.
Why wouldn't Renault dare to equip those under his command with anything else?
