Chapter 1998: Film Making -Part 4
As the space vessel which Rei had personally be at the helm for had reached its target destination in a matter of seconds due to the distance the System had placed them away, thousands of the magic magics had been launched from the ship's starport and zooming away to get the best possible angle for the fights.fгeewebnovёl.com
Each of them was powered by the System's unique magic propeller engine that was as quiet as the void of sound would be. The only thing one could hear from it was the wind as it passed through close to their eyes.
However, considering this was outer space and there was nothing but vacuum, this so called wind was definitely not possible, and also that means that the magic eyes that the System had deployed were able to move ever so quietly than ever before since there was no wind to stop them at all.
And when the space vessel appeared ever so quickly right in front of the space colony due to the use of a short warp generator, the space colony's security systems were not quick enough to pick it up.
In fact, Jin and the System had caught them at the worst possible time. People were attempting to fly back to their homes for a holiday that did not exist in Jin's World. Not to mention, the space vessel was an unregistered model that the United Federation Space Colony was not able to identify whether it was a friend or foe.
The only time their battle instincts started to kick in was when they saw autocannon shots were being bombarded right at their spaceport when people were dying to return to their homes. It was a random barrage as the System merely targeted the densest corner of the space colony based on a quick sweep from the space vessel.
It did not even go through with Rei who was leading the space vessel for its permission and had already fired automatically into the fray. The System was afraid that Rei would not be able to sleep well in the night knowing that he had to give the command to kill his fellow humans in a cold blooded manner.
Unfortunately, the magic eyes did not even direct their cameras towards Rei or the crew that had been manning the space vessel, instead it had poured whatever energy they had capturing the deathly sight of the bombardment that the space vessel's auto cannon had done to the space port.
In the meantime, the magic eyes had already infiltrated the military bases and it had managed to catch a glimpse of the panic from the defenders' point of view. It was to the point where it surprised Jin that the magic eyes were able to do such a magnificent job.
While the dungeon supplier how the System was able to sneak these magic eyes into the security base, he decided to just go with the flow and enjoy the videos taken by the Magic Eyes.
"What is happening? The Xeon Union attacking?" One of the captains on duty was shocked by the sound of the barrage and the alarms blaring like crazy.
"We do not know and we are sorting everyone that is on duty." The communications officer replied to the captain but simultaneously, the MG Gunners were already on the move. They were shot out from their launching bays through a metal pod.
The pod acted as a big bullet spiralling down to the enemy's base with its bottom being shaped like a funnel. The human pilots were also able to handle the descent to a certain degree but considering how the vessel was at the stratosphere, it was being shot at a high speed to ensure that it did maximum damage when it landed, giving some breathing space for the MG Gunners to emerge from their pods.
And unfortunately for the United Federation military base, their anti air base defences were taken out just like this because those big 'bullets' moved at such speed that they created destruction when they landed while ensuring that their Mecha was unharmed from the descent.
At that point, the MG Gunners were already moving into obvious hangars that were housing the defending Mechas. However, instead of exploding the entire place to kingdom come, the MG Gunners tore open the hangars and started to shoot at the humans that were trying to arm the Mechas. The MG Gunner pilots even threw anti personnel gas grenades to ensure that they were killed by the toxic gases.
Even if some were able to get space suits, most of them were not prepared for such an attack.
Once most of them were killed, the MG Gunners would tag the United Federation Mechas and a bright blue light would pierce into the skies, allowing Rei to call their auxiliary air support to swoop in and take charge of the unactivated Mechas.
Of course, not all of the MG Gunners were successful since there was a veteran or two who were pessimistic enough to stay on standby their whole duty. They were the ones who were able to sortie out almost immediately and destroy the assigned MG Gunners that were supposed to raid those selected Hangars.
Unfortunately for the United Federation Mecha pilots, they were still outnumbered since most of the hangars were closely gathered for the other MG Gunners to provide support. A couple had been shot down and the captain on duty had no idea what the enemy Mecha was doing until they saw ortho copters descending from the enemy space vessels and a team of hijackers came into the picture.
The captain was insistent that the United Federation Mechas could not have their cockpit locks broken without authorisation and did not care much about them.
He was also certain that even if the hijackers were able to find the emergency escape button to forcibly open the cockpit, they would never be able to close it back, allowing them to be vulnerable like a soldier fighting with his ribcage wide open and his heart was exposed for people to take advantage of.
However, this was not the case for the hijackers. They were not advanced hackers but humans with magical abilities. Even without the correct keys, a little bit of highly advanced unlock magic was needed to get the cockpit doors to open with just the words 'Open Sesame'.
That was also the reason why Jin had chosen humans from the Dungeon World because of their knowledge of magic. And now that they were also equipped with the capabilities to pilot these big bad guys, they were the perfect candidates to be the hijackers of the enemy Mechas. The System had noted from Kraft that unlock magic was still surprisingly useful even with hi tech gadgets.
All Kraft needed was to tweak the magic sequence a little in the chanting and for some reason, it became a universal key to open almost everything.
That was why Jin had instead opted to have an open door concept since he knew that Kraft would be able to open anything if he really wanted to. But these hijackers were not trained in such high level unlocking magic and instead, they were given scrolls courtesy of the Night Foxes.
And with the activation of magic, they were able to open those cockpits with ease. The only caveat was that Jin had insisted that they tried to open with their own magic powers first before using the scrolls as he wanted to see if the spell level and knowledge difference could affect the unlocking probability.
So far, one of them worked without using the skill scroll that the Night Fox gave but the others were unsuccessful. This gave Jin confidence that what Kraft did was merely increase the probability of the spell to work because of his expertise and natural knack for opening things.
Regardless, whatever they did, a lot of the hijackers had managed to get the cockpit security system to unlock for them and they were able to start up the United Federation Mechas.
It was at this point that the defenders had lost all faith that they were able to defend this space colony. The only confusion that they have is that they do not understand why this unknown group of people was coming to this high security refueling facility of a space colony.
There was nothing here other than fuel and to breach this facility was merely going to attract unnecessary attention to them. And the fact that this is a high security outpost should have forced them to hold their hand and operate elsewhere.
It was true that currently, the enemy seemed to be winning considering how they had managed to steal the Mechas making the captain in charge to be flabbergasted, however, the reason why it is classified as High Security was that warships would pass here to refuel and they were a behemoth of a problem of its own.
With a press of a button, a United Federation Rook Class warship will emerge within a fifteen minute period. And so, all they could do was to try to save as many civilians as they could and evacuate the people who were able to move so that they could escape the carnage the Rook Class Warship would appear.
But Jin knew all this beforehand when Rei who was the engineer for both the United Federation and Xeon Union for a brief period of time had told him about this information. They were banging on it for a good fight even though all they recruited were merely peasants with above average magic abilities, they believed it could still be an exciting show.
Sometimes all people needed was just another chance.
