85 – The operation is as dirty as possible
War was not a mere joke or game, much less a sport with set rules.
It was… a desperate struggle for survival.
One’s own life, family, fellow country, and even the life of all mankind.
Because of this, in the terrible and ruthless act of risking everything, any action and any means were allowed for victory.
Actions that others might point fingers at as cowardly, and actions that might be regarded as too cruel. Even the brutality that is not enough to be called a devil by someone.
Above all, it was needless to say if the opponents were monsters hungry for slaughter rather than humans.
Those who must be annihilated by all means.
It was very natural to launch a strategy against such guys that would talk of them being cowardly, cruel, or lethal.
And… From that point of view, the strategy I set up this time.
If those abyss approaching us were able to communicate normally, it was done in such a filthy way that they would surely be swearing at me.
And of course, there was no reason for me to feel any remorse about this.

Fighter squadrons flying across the sky.
The fighters, piloted by hunters who had been eating and resting relatively comfortably and maintaining their stamina, were moving without shaking.
Unlike the case of carrying bombs in general, they only carry machine guns.
But..
The Abyss hordes already advancing towards the defenses had long since passed by,
Above all, their targets were located elsewhere.
And after a while, their targets start to look as expected.
Accordingly, the hunters who were piloting the fighters at the base immediately told the adjutant in charge of command.
“The target has been found. We will proceed with the operation.”
-“Yes, please proceed immediately.”-
Immediately after the permission to start the operation was given, the hunters moved their hands to open the batteries of the fighters.
and..
-Tada da da da da da da da da!!!
The next moment, the fighters start spitting fire toward the ground.
At the same time, the target side immediately began to respond, and the hunters immediately began implementing the next stage of the operation.
this moment…
Rеаd at ոоbӏеmtӏ.соm
Just like what’s going on everywhere else, not just here.

“..gulp..”
A large army of Abyss begin to appear before your eyes.
The top of the ridge on which the defense line is located.
From there… Looking at the guys who had flocked all the way down there, the hunters placed on the defensive line automatically began to swallow dry saliva.
“Really… there are so many gross things.”
“At this scale, I think it’s really the largest level ever.”
“The intermediate level is too many to count, and the advanced Abyss are also widely scattered.”
“In addition, unlike the times when we were blindly fighting until now, we really have a formation, with the tanker in front and the dealer behind.”
“Sincerity. Having a formation is also a problem, but even with that dizzying scale, if you were just standing here without a strategy, it would be hard to hold on with your sober mind..”
In the previous operation, they were in charge of defense, and of course, they received the overall outline of the current operation from their adjutants.
It was a story that sounded quite good even to those who were not that knowledgeable in strategy and tactics, and they were able to stand still in front of the huge army of Abyss many times their size.
However, no matter what the future strategy is, the first thing they have to do at this moment is to prevent those ignoring black waves from crossing this ridge.
As a result, the hunters tried to keep their cool as much as possible and began to tighten their arms holding their weapons.
And, in their ears…
Immediately, the voices of the adjutants began to be heard.
– “All, ready to fire.” –
Hunters loading weapons and aiming at enemies according to instructions.
Most of the B-class hunters here were using the KH-3 rifle, which was capable of single, burst, and continuous fire, and its firepower was equivalent to that of a sniper rifle.
In addition, the bullets are armor-piercing bullets that can easily penetrate armored vehicles.
And, all the hunters here were in a situation where the condition of this firearm was set to burst mode.
-“Open fire!”-
-Tadadadadadadada!!!!!
Countless bullets started to shoot out with a loud sound.
Although even this didn’t hurt the tank-type Abyss in the front, there was no need to worry too much about it.
I don’t know if it was a battle unfolding on the plain, but the battlefield they were in at this moment was a ridge where the defending camp could unilaterally pour firepower from above.
No matter how tankers are deployed in the front, shooting bullets backward is not such a big problem.
Moreover, although it was a situation where they wrote that they were using their own brains, there was one big blind spot in the formation that the Abyss were equipped with in the current situation.
That’s right.. Although the Abyss located in the front had solid defense, it was because of this that their speed was relatively slow.
Of course, even though it is slow, it is as fast as some large beasts such as elephants and rhinos, but at least it is not to the extent of showing tremendous mobility that surpasses wolves or cheetahs.
And… the hunters who received this fact from their adjutants in advance began preparing for the next attack as planned.
-“Two sets ready to launch!”-
A-class hunters aiming their weapons while standing behind those who are firing at the front at the same time as their adjutants command.
In their hands were weapons reminiscent of cannons rather than guns.
It is not a commonly used portable weapon, but can be used because it is in the defense position.. Literally, weapons that give up mobility for firepower.
With various high-power weapons in their hands, mainly 28cm extended cannons that could only be used on warships, they calmly aimed their guns at the enemies in front of them.
and..
-“launch!”-
– Kwa-gwa-gwa-gwang!!!
The shells pouring out with a different explosion sound than before.
They started to explode on the bodies of the tank-type Abyss who were pushing up from the front.
“Cooo!!!”
Even though they were guys who didn’t even budge with a fair amount of bullets, that was only a story limited to firearms.
Even the defense-specialized mid-level Abyss could not withstand the bombardment, which had tremendous firepower that could change the terrain itself.
Tanker-type Abyss whose placenta was wiped out while being bombarded once.
At the same time, their corpses and the remaining firepower began to cause secondary damage as they attacked the formation of the Abyss who were following closely behind them.
But..
Although it was a situation that caused enormous damage in an instant, it was not enough to say that the war situation was greatly improved right away.
Even after such an attack, the number of Abyss was still endless, and above all, as they said they had intelligence, they started attacking in a different way than before.
As if recognizing that putting a tanker in front would not help much, this time the Abyss mainly attacked the fast ones.
Accordingly, the B-class hunters began to use their rifles again and struggle to stop them, and at the same time, the A-class hunters also began to struggle to stop them by pouring high-powered shells.
*
“The west sector A defense line is in danger! Support fire there!”
“Switching weapons! Stop the heavy fire and use the machine guns! Considering their mobility, it’s more efficient that way!”
Adjutants who are mindlessly commanding their troops.
Despite the fact that less than an hour had passed since the battle started, the situation of the allies was already not very good.
The Abyss continued to attack endlessly while making the most of their military superiority.
The first offensive failed, but the behavior of those who corrected their weaknesses every moment and tried to find and dig into the weaknesses of their allies was a factor that increased the number of issues that the opponent needed to pay more attention to.
And so, despite having been warned all along, once again the lieutenants, like the hunters on the battlefield, begin to clearly recognize the fears of these peculiar Abyss.
However, even though the current war situation was not going very well, there was no sign of despair or frustration on their faces at this moment.
It’s not just a vague hope or a meaningless wish.
Those feelings that seem to have a reason.
That moment..
A voice suddenly began to erupt from the mouth of Adjutant Ha-eun, who was watching the screen more anxiously than anyone else in the room.
“Wow.. here!”
