Revive Rome: Wait! Why not make the empress fall in love with me first?-Chapter 450 - 65 Reverse Utilization
Chapter 450: Chapter 65 Reverse Utilization
The Azure Longsword Mercenary Corps fought fiercely, finally breaking through the synthetic human defenses.
In fact, the word "kill" was not accurate; at least those synthetic humans never fought back, which made everyone feel unaccomplished.
Instead, the Emperor’s Alliance that followed was met with insane interceptions and casualties by the synthetic human forces.
With the immense battle power of nine demigods and two giant dragons, they were finally able to lead most of the army out, though casualties seemed to be numerous.
After breaking out of the encirclement, the girls wanted to take a breath of relief, but suddenly Aske issued a warning,
"Be careful!"
The girls quickly looked up, and saw a dense "flock of birds" emerging from behind the hills in front.
Wrong! Those weren’t birds! Those were multi-rotor military drones!
In that instant, Aske even reached for the ancient book at his waist. If all those drones lowered their guns and opened fire, with the terrifying number of adversaries at this point, except for Mia and Peggy, the others would most likely be unable to dodge the concentrated fire, and he could only use the legendary "Divine Power Life-saving Method."
Fortunately, within just a few seconds, Aske discovered these military drones maintained those synthetic humans’ "neutral" trait and did not launch any attacks on them, but instead surged towards the Emperor’s Alliance at the rear.
For a moment, everyone was stunned on the spot.
In the midst of the Emperor’s Alliance’s furious roars and battle cries, and amid the clicking sounds of synthetic human movements and the noise of drone rotors turning, everyone felt an overwhelming, startled sense of being left outs.
"Aske!" Medea suddenly reacted, "We need to attack now!"
"Yes!" Aske instantly understood her point. "Medea, Sigrdrifa, Thira, Miel, you four are in charge of intercepting as many drones as possible, the rest follow me to rescue His Majesty’s alliance!"
Thus, the Azure Longsword Mercenaries immediately turned around and rushed towards the direction of the Emperor’s Alliance. Bullets, thunder, flames, and gravity rapidly struck the overwhelming drone swarm.
Among these, the gravity ability was most effective, being a large scale control skill, it quickly forced a bunch of drones down to low altitude, making them targets for the Emperor’s soldiers to destroy.
As for Eleanor, Mia, Peggy, and the others, they charged into the most intense battle area and fiercely slew their way through.
Wherever they went, the pressure on the Emperor’s Alliance significantly reduced—after all, both the synthetic humans and drones fled at their sight, reducing the pressure to zero, right?
Eleanor: ........
She looked around bewildered, with Peggy and Mia on either side, also showing stupefied expressions on their faces.
How can we fight when the enemy won’t even engage with us?
"Aske! What should we do?" When unsure, ask the squad leader, therefore the girls immediately posed the question to Aske.
"Simple. Who has the loudest voice?" Aske asked casually. "Right, Sigrdrifa! Come here."
"I’m here!" Sigrdrifa hurried to his side. "Who are we chopping?"
"We aren’t chopping anyone." Aske said. "Now, yell towards the Emperor’s Alliance and ask who needs help, and we’ll head right there."
"Oh." For any other girl, possibly a ’why’ would follow, but not for this straightforward girl from the North; she immediately turned and yelled,
"Hey!!!! Who needs help here!!!!!"
"Over here!" Unexpectedly, nearby a knight actually responded, "Come this way!"
The group then quickly rushed toward that knight.
As the Azure Longsword Mercenaries approached, the attacking group of synthetic humans and drones immediately scattered, leaving behind the besieged soldiers who were barely hanging on.
"Thanks for the support," said the knight who had spoken earlier. His power armor was blasted open by a drone self-destruct, debris deeply embedded in his chest, the wound bloody and mangled, barely hanging on by his physical power.
"Nora?" Aske motioned for Nora to hurry over.
Nora quickly treated him. Through her previous substantial surgical practice in the Empire’s wounded soldier camp, her abilities in debridement, disinfection, and healing had become very proficient, and she had his wounds repaired cleanly in less than half a minute.
"Thank you, thank you very much..." The knight was almost incomprehensibly grateful, but Nora didn’t waste words with him; she rushed off to heal other soldiers.
Whether it was a minor or moderate injury, after simple debridement and disinfection, using the "Life III" ability to heal the wounds again only took a few seconds.
However, for severe injuries that led to disability, such as amputations, Nora could only stop the bleeding and bandage them; as for regrowing limbs, she was currently unable to do that.
After swiftly handling the wounded, Aske gave a sign, and then Sigrdrifa shouted out again:
"Who else needs help..."
"Over here, over here!" Before she could finish shouting, several spots on the nearby battlefield responded simultaneously.
Obviously, previously, when the Emperor’s Alliance had blindly followed The Azure Longsword to break through, seeing these girls charging ahead yet remaining unharmed, everyone had not reacted much at the time; now they had mostly caught on.
These drones and synthetic humans, they just wouldn’t attack The Azure Longsword Mercenary Corps!
Although they didn’t know why, who cared so much on the battlefield! Quickly getting them over to drive away the enemy and save everyone’s lives was the real deal!
"Split into three groups!" Faced with the multiple requests for help around him, Aske decisively said.
Thus, the girls immediately divided into three teams and rushed towards the locations of the groups asking for help.
As expected, even when they acted separately, as they each approached, the opposing synthetic humans and drones scrambled away, clearly unwilling to even risk inadvertently harming them.
In Solomon City’s BI surveillance room, the Bishop and Priests also found themselves in a somewhat speechless state.
Yes, the higher-ups told us not to attack you, but you’re using that to rescue the Emperor’s Alliance? That’s just blatantly shameless!
"Bishop sir, should we..." One of the monitoring Priests hinted, suggesting a symbolic firing of the drones (deliberately missing), so the mercenaries of The Azure Longsword wouldn’t be overly bold thinking the Church Court treated them with great care.
"No." The Bishop, although tempted to agree, recognized that this issue wasn’t a matter of technique but of politics.
The higher-ups had said not to risk attacking them; if you ordered an attack, that would be a direct defiance of leadership’s directives! Even if nothing happened in the end, it was still a political error, and leadership would certainly hold it against you.
No, absolutely no attacks.
Seeing that the Bishop refused to take the blame, the Priests felt quite helpless; they obviously didn’t have the authority to order military units to attack, so they could only stare blankly at the screen where the members of The Azure Longsword were rescuing teams.
As The Azure Longsword rescued each team, that team followed them (since straying from them would mean being attacked again by synthetic humans or drones).
As more and more teams were saved, the number of those following them grew larger and even showed signs of reorganizing—meaning that the previous tactical intent of the drones and synthetic human forces to risk their lives blocking and isolating the Emperor’s Army had completely failed at this point.
"What kind of mess is this! Damn it!" The Bishop punched the wall hard, even swearing, which was rare for him.
What kind of stupid order was this from the higher-ups! Weren’t they just making us hesitate!?
"It’s fine, Bishop sir," the Priests hurried to console their superior, "Don’t forget the sausage-slicing strategy! The higher-ups didn’t expect us to achieve everything in one go; this is just part of the sausage-slicing strategy."
"I know," the Bishop sighed, "I just feel frustrated."
When had the Church Court’s army, equipped with high technology, been forced into this situation by a mercenary corps!
Through the drone’s surveillance camera, the Bishop frowned as he focused on Aske on the screen, as if memorizing his face to later draw on a target for venting frustrations.
Then, Aske on the screen turned his head and looked towards the hovering drone.
The Bishop and Priests suddenly held their breath in unison, as if this young man named Aske was not just watching the drone, but looking at them behind the screen.
Then, the corner of this guy’s mouth slightly curled up.
"Heh."
"To hell with ’heh!’" The Bishop immediately exploded in anger, almost lifting his chair to smash the screen. Fortunately, the other Priests rushed over and desperately held back their hot-tempered superior.
