Prologue: SayPeace

[Boss, the hostages have been found.] 】

The voice of 'M590' came over the radio, and although she was not visible here, she could be felt reliable from the sound.

"Where?"

Press and hold the communication button to power on the microphone. Klut spoke to his men as he unfolded the map: it was an eight-square-square electronic drawing, and on its sleek, soft glass screen, a pre-downloaded tactical map was being enlarged by Kluter's fingers.

INTERVIEWER It's not easy to do that. Although in recent years, the recognition technology of electronic drawings has been very mature, and the judgment of fingers is very accurate, but the premise of all this is undoubtedly 'hand' touch.

And that's exactly what Klut couldn't do - wearing 'fireworks' power armor, his whole body was wrapped in steel, not to mention a finger, and even his head had two layers of alloy to provide protection.

Strong is very strong.

After all, it's a high-spec military power armor.

Kluet, equipped with this thing, is worth half an infantry platoon alone.

A light machine gun, a bazooka, a light grenade launcher on the left forearm, and a cutting welding torch on the right forearm.

On top of that, the scariest part of this suit is its shoulders: the frenzied engineers prepared a 20mm cannon for Kluet, and equipped it with thirty-two rounds of spare ammunition. Depending on the mission, Klut can also replace it with a heavy machine gun with 400 ammo or a fully automatic mortar with a blazing fast rate of fire.

For lovers of heavy firepower, this set of power armor is simply flawless.

But just as its strengths are so stark, so are the flaws of 'fireworks'.

The high cost, impressive weight, and space-saving use of high-performance batteries in the powertrain allow for a measly two hours of action without carrying additional batteries.

And there is no chain of command.

Due to the high degree of integration of weapons and defense systems, pyrotechnic power armor has almost no modular design. Although there are helmet-mounted displays that receive tactical information, there is no mode of operation for issuing information.

Although this little thing is harmless for soldiers, it is quite troublesome for squad leaders and platoon commanders who are tasked with tactical command.

There are only a limited number of problems that can be solved by radio, and when electronic maps are needed, this set of armor can become very cumbersome.

To solve this problem, Griffin's engineers modified the fingers of the armor suit, installing some conductive rubber blocks in place of the fingertips.

With the help of these gadgets, Klute is finally able to use the digital map with armor - though he still needs to be careful not to use too much force with one finger to pop or crush the map.

[In the study on the second floor, under the second window on the west side.] 】

A second window on the second floor?

When Klut heard the information, he looked up and looked that way. With the help of a secondary camera, the view from two hundred meters away was magnified and zoomed in - but not only was the window closed, but there was something like a wooden board behind it, completely blocking the view.

"I can't see, 590, there's something blocking the window. ”

[It's bookshelves, and the terrorists blocked the south window with bookshelves and wardrobes.] 】

It's kind of bad.

Kluet clicked on the map to switch the architectural drawings to the second floor while continuing the conversation: get information from his own men.

"Do you have any photos? Sync the tactical map. ”

【Understand】

Although it is far from foolproof, the terrorist arrangement is quite troublesome.

They weren't necessarily professionals, but they were at least prepared – blocking the windows gave them a defensive. While this defense doesn't guarantee their lives, it at least buys them time.

Gain time to take out the hostages in the worst-case scenario.

If you don't care about hostages, this is certainly not a big deal. But how could he not care, the reason why Klut did not attack immediately was to save the hostages.

At this time, the information of the M590 had already arrived.

The first to complete the synchronization was the tactical map - after receiving the information from his subordinates, a lot of information surfaced on Kluet's tactical map.

A hollow circle means an enemy, while an asterisk means a hostage. Occlusions such as bookcases and wardrobes are framed and blacked out by M590, while obstructions such as tables are marked with text directly after their locations are depicted.

"I see...... It's very powerful. ”

The M590 even has a note for each enemy. According to her description, there are four enemies in this study: they are all armed with AK series automatic rifles, and military-grade bulletproof armor.

They were scattered throughout the room, each hiding behind cover. While the two on the south side can be killed with a sniper rifle, the two on the inside can't do anything - even the most powerful anti-materiel sniper rifle can't even penetrate a layer of bulletproof bunker after penetrating the wall.

And if all targets cannot be destroyed at the same time, then it is difficult to guarantee the safety of the hostages.

Klute thought for a moment, but couldn't think of anything. So he continued to check the intelligence and unfolded the second document on the e-paper.

It was a hostage photograph taken by the M590 - from the angle, it appeared to be a shooting by a miniature reconnaissance vehicle in a vent.

It was a high school girl, dressed in a cute girls' school uniform with long black hair.

Probably because of her status, she was not abused by her kidnappers. Not only were the clothes neatly dressed, but the only way to restrict movement was a simple handcuff.

There were no explosives, no barrels aimed at the head – and that was a good thing for Kluet: as long as the kidnappers weren't ready to 'rip the ticket the moment they were attacked'. Then the security situation of the hostages is quite optimistic.

"Good. ”

Undoubtedly, this is a sign of indiscretion - these robbers, although professional enough, do not realize the strength of the enemy.

Although they were prepared to defend, the specific strength was not sufficient.

This precaution is sufficient for humanoids and ordinary operatives, but it is too fragile for the 'peacekeepers' led by Kluet.

The preparations for the assault were ready, and with the help of the padlocks, the girls were all in place and hung on the outer wall of the house. The support group was also loaded with ammunition and ready to fire.

"Units ready. ”

Klute glanced at the map again, a smile on his lips.

As of M590's report, information on the entire house has been largely discovered.

The total number of robbers was seven: four in the study, two on guard in the hall on the first floor, and one patrolling the corridor on the second floor.

“ppk。 ”

"I'm in charge of the first floor. ”

“590。 ”

"I'm in charge of breaking in. ”

“IWS。 ”

"Leave the two on the west side to me, please. ”

"And then Thomson. ”

"Give it to me in the hallway. ”

"Then I'll take care of the two on the east side...... Well...... What about PKP?"

“…… Is it okay to have a barbecue for dinner. ”

"Please. ”

Everyone is in place, only PKPs, who are not suitable for assault and are not good at precision strikes, are on standby in the rear.

“3、2、1…… Begin. ”

The girls hanging outside the window kicked the wall hard, causing their bodies to swing outward, and at the same time, the directional explosives installed in the window were also detonated by the girls.

The shock grenade doped with the wall-breaking explosive catapulted inward, detonating after a tenth of a second: the specially crafted charge caused a strong glare and concussion, instantly incapacitating enemies in the room.

PPK rushed into the room just then and pulled the trigger with a calm and cold attitude.

One person, one shot, no superfluous action at all. Before hitting the ground, the battle-hardened girl sent two pistol bullets into the enemy's eyebrows.

At the same time, Klut and IWS also launched fire support.

"Come on—"

Klute stood up and pressed the button in his palm.

The firing pin of the twenty-mm gun was driven by an electric current, which, with a crisp sound, fired the primer of the ammunition.

In an instant, the walls of the study were torn apart by warheads—high-speed flying steel cones shredding planks and bricks and entering the room.

Although he was not directly hit, the kidnapper targeted by Klute fell in an instant - the powerful cannonball shattered the protective steel plate in front of him, and before the shockwave ruffled his brain, a flying piece of steel had broken his spine and killed him.

And M590 also entered the scene at this time - before the enemy in the study could react, and when it was chaotic due to the attack of large-caliber firearms, the silver-haired girl kicked open the door of the study and walked into the room calmly.

Under the advantage of the first move, the humanoid girl made perfect use of the intelligence advantage.

Before the first enemy raised her gun, she had already pulled the trigger. Crushed the chest of the nearest target with a single shot. By the time the second enemy regained consciousness, she had already loaded her bullets and knocked the second enemy down.

The kidnapper, who didn't even have time to despair, didn't think about doing anything to the hostages until the end - he subconsciously raised his rifle and wanted to shoot at the M590. But just as the girl was ready to defend herself and use her armor plate to fend off the bullets, IWS, who missed the target for the first time, finally made a follow-up shot, taking the last human head with a 15.2mm bullet - and hollowing out half of the unlucky man's chest.

"IWS, you're slapping crooked. ”

“……”

"So today you wash the dishes. ”

“…… Understand. ”

"So Thomson, is it solved in the hallway?"

"Let's catch a living one, do you want it?"

"Very well, just take it down. ”

The last enemy is tackled by Thomson in the corridor.

Because there was only one person, Miss Thomson used a very brutal attack - she knocked down an enemy who was dizzy from the intrusion explosives with the butt of her gun, and then made up a second blow to the back of the head, causing the poor creature to faint completely.

"So, mission over...... 590, escort our eldest lady down. PPK, in case of accidents, go up and answer it. ”

"Understood. ”

"Understood. ”

Then all the problems are solved.

Kluet, who had fired only one 20-millimeter round of ammunition, nodded in satisfaction: all the enemies were destroyed, the hostages were intact, dinner was barbecued, and someone was washing the dishes - what could be better than this?

That's right, there really is.

Suddenly realizing that he had nothing to do, Klute opened the control panel on the inside of his left wrist and dialed the communication channel of his immediate superior, Herrian.

"Hey, Hurrian?"

“…… It's me. ”

"The eldest lady has been rescued. ”

"It's a good job, and it deserves to be a 'parallelist'. ”

"So, I think I can prepare for what I said before. ”

“…… What do you want to say. ”

"Fellowship, Hurrian. ”

As he spoke, Kluet's face was filled with a silly fatherly smile. The smile was so gentle that even the scar softened.

"Don't give up, kid, Kruger and I have prepared the bonding instructions, memorize it!

Along with the sound of communication interruption, there was the sound of an older leftover woman's nerve breaking.
