Chapter 1457 Ultra Revolutionist
"Seriously, just three humans? How is that our business?" Yinn felt like they should just blow the entire thing and bury the rebels.
"Sorry to chip in but it"s not worth the risk of recovering those three humans. The mission did not state that we are to rescue any humans." Tellie who had always been cool and calm, making rational choices had also denied Jin from performing such dangerous "stunts".
Diaz and Click, who was in the Tactical System channel, had also voiced the same concerns. Why do they need to save three humans when they were only one average squad of Mechanoids against dozens of rebels.
It"s true that they had it very lucky when the "new commander" came into their lives. For some reason, they were able to utilise the Tactical System more than it was advertised. Yinn, who had experience in using the Tactical System, also found it odd that it became so accurate that she could not believe it was this useful.
It was drastically different from what she was used to and it felt like if their squad were to continue using this, the battlefield would be an extremely efficient place to earn their keep. In fact, they might be able to get back squadmates they had lost previously from the fights if they continue to fight with this commander. With the memory core sticks still intact and in her possession, she would be able to revive them by buying new Mechanoid bodies.
Thus, it was not worth it for them to risk the rest of the squad to merely save three humans from a bunch of rebels who were ready to kill this supposed "elite" squad that had annihilated more than fifty rebel Mechanoids in one shot.
The Rebel Commanders were trying their best to see if they could identify this particular elite squad but there was no hit on this squad at all. No information made them even more scared of this squad as they a.s.sumed it was one of the Empire"s elite a.s.sa.s.sin squads. While it made sense to send such an elite squad to deal with their numbers, they found it weird that they were able to discover this place so easily.
"Could it be because of the hostages that we were handling?" One of the Rebel Commanders thought as he rushed to the room where he held the remaining hostages. Aye, remaining. The manufacturing machine that they used to create their Mechanoids was of a cruel method. Instead of using official parts that were made from plastic, metal and synthetic fibres, the Rebel Commanders had cruelly used the most efficient resource they had available to them in this village.
Humans.
Using their flesh and muscles, they were able to create the majority of their Mechanoids as part of their a.r.s.enal. It was no doubt a taboo way of creating the Mechanoids and had been deployed only by the extreme minority of rebels. But these extreme minorities had survived the constant slaughtering from the empire to quell the rebellion that they had started to turn into terrorists holding twisted radical views against the Empire which they call themselves the Ultra Revolutionists. (Cheesy name but those rebel commanders loved it.)
When the Ultra Revolutionist Commander opened the door to see the remaining three children that were left behind, he still could not understand why the Empire would send such an elite squad against them. A large fight with various average Empire Squads was what the commander was expecting but not fighting against the Empire elite of the elites that they could not even decode their communication channel.
"What am I thinking, these three kids are useless." the commander said as he walked back to the temporary command room that the rebels had set up. While they might be trapped in this G.o.d awful underground area, they still have eyes installed around the church. The artillery did not destroy them completely and those hidden CCTVs gave them a glimpse of what the Empire was doing.
So, all they could do was wait for the Empire Squad to literally open the way for them and wait for the right opportunity to kill them. But what caught their attention was the commotion of a possible squabble with their commander and they believed that this could be the opportunity they could take advantage of.
"Sure, It sounds illogical but we need the humans to know what exactly happened to this place. They could provide the information to piece up what had allowed the rebels to ama.s.s right here." Jin tried to make an excuse, hoping that an impromptu argument would allow his Mechanoids to find reason. Although he could command them to follow his orders, they had apparently been allowing it because it was still within the survival plausibility rate.
But now that new information had come in, they had deduced that resisting their commander"s command was the logical way to survive and Jin did not blame them. They probably had never fought against an army by themselves because it is ridiculous to do so. Even with the previous abnormal experiences of explosives booming to kill nearly half the rebels that were residing within the village of Artbridge, there was no way their processors would allow such an irrational command to be processed easily.
The creation of the electric drill was from the a.s.sumption that there were a few Rebel Mechanoids left and a bunch of villagers to rescue. in the best case scenario, they would surrender after seeing their rebel mates being executed so easily. The worst case scenario is that they would execute all of the villagers in an attempt of defiance before dying.
But not even attempting to rescue them would effectively cancel out the hope that the villagers could survive. Thus, Yinn had previously agreed to try to rescue them. However, now that she and the other Grey Bears knew that most of the signals were Mechanoids, her decision to help the three other humans had diminished significantly.
If the commander does not give her a suitable reason to convince them, then she might be forced to override the entire operation.
