Reborn as a Mechanist with a God-Tier System-Chapter 227: The final battle on April 2nd [1]

WOM! WOM! WOM!

Loud alarm bells blared around the military base!

Hearing the loud alarm bells, Major Kai’s eyes constricted in helplessness. ’It’s over!’

Immediately after the alarm bells started ringing, like an ancient Dragon being stirred from a deep slumber, the military base awakened.

The ongoing war already turned almost all the rebel soldiers into light sleepers.

Soldiers who were sleeping lightly immediately jumped to their feet at the first sound, grabbing their weapons and charging towards designated battlements as they instantly got prepared for war!

Powerful headlights came to life around the military base, focusing on the skies and on the land, illuminating every nook and cranny of the military base.

HUM!

Loud humming sounds reverberated as soldiers entered military transports, booting them to life as the war machines rose into the sky in preparation for a night assault by the Federation Army.

No one knew what went wrong, but the alarm was all they needed to hear to enter maximum battle state.

Neural Projection!

Metabolic Overdrive!

Pulse Dash!

Overdrive Mode!

BZZZ!

High density ADE erupted from different parts of the military base!

Major Potter, the third D Rank NetRunner of the rebel army was the one to arrive first as he traced the location of the anomaly instantly from the signal being transmitted from the leader of the special squad.

He directly arrived in front of the General’s room almost instantly after the alarm rang through Neural Projection. At the same time, he transmitted coordinates to the other Lieutenants.

Major Lawrence arrived next as closest to the General’s room, with a burst of speed through Metabolic Overdrive, he arrived.

His whole body glowed with violent orange ADE, rising into the sky as he held his massive sword, ready to cut any assassin in two!

And then the others arrived.

Bzzz!

With a burst of speed by combining Pulse Dash and Overdrive Mode, Major Garfield and Major Mendez, the two D Rank Cyber Gladiators of the rebel army arrived almost instantaneously.

They all first looked at the door of the General, then they all looked towards the leader of the special squad who immediately pointed at Major Kai.

"Something is wrong with him!" He accused.

Being extremely experienced combatants themselves, the 4 Lieutenants reacted instantly as they moved away from Major Kai while also surrounding him in a circular death formation.

They were ready to kill him if needed!

It didn’t matter that he was the second in command of the rebel army. If he betrayed the Freegrid Collective, they wouldn’t hesitate to kill him.

Seeing the sudden escalation of the situation as he was encircled, Major Kai exhaled in frustration and resignation.

"Where’s the General?" Major Lawrence questioned coldly in a hot-blooded manner, his eyes glowing with a violent orange light.

Major Kai shrugged, then he pointed at the room. "He’s inside".

Even in this situation, he was still trying to buy time to delay the outburst of the truth as much as he could.

Hearing what he said, the 4 Lieutenants furrowed their brows but they didn’t dare take their eyes away from him as they watched his every movement.

It was the leader of the special squad who spoke up.

"Something is wrong with the General!" He said in a tone of urgency. "He didn’t detect our presence even after we opened the door to his room, and now, even with the alarm ringing, he’s yet to come out!"

That was all the confirmation that they needed.

"Don’t move!" Major Garfield said coldly as he left Kai to his 3 comrades, decisively moving towards the General’s room.

He pushed the reinforced metal door open then he stormed inside the room.

The moment he set his eyes on the General’s bed, his eyes constricted. "It’s not the General, it’s a robot!"

Major Garfield charged outside and instantly, there was an explosion of ADE.

BZZZZZZZZ!

Surrounding Major Kai, the combined ADE of the 4 D Rank Ascended surged into the sky amid sounds like thunder, rendering the clouds apart even as they drew their weapons and were ready to murder Kai right there!

Major Kai finally raised his hands in surrender.

"Speak!" Garfield demanded coldly.

With his hands raised, Major Kai looked at Garfield and sighed with a look of resignation on his face.

He knew he could no longer afford to stall, any unsatisfactory answer and his 4 comrades would not hesitate to kill him right there.

"The General has started his C Rank Ascended Trial".

"..."

"..."

".....!"

For a moment, the 4 Lieutenants felt like a bolt of lightning just ignited in their brain and finally, they understood what was happening.

Instantly, the expression on their faces changed.

Almost at the same time, their enhanced D Rank Ascended perception detected a stir in the clouds faraway in the distance outside the city.

They looked at each other and the same thought rang in their heads. ’The Federation Army!’

The moment the main military base in Iron Reef suddenly erupted with warning alarms ringing, General Sylvari Charr who was far away noticed and instantly, the Federation General felt a bad premonition.

He didn’t care to know what was happening.

Instantly, the General mobilized his entire army for an impromptu night raid on Iron Reef despite having just fought the evening before.

The night sky became illuminated with bright lights from hundreds of Federation war transports and warships!

...

Back in the military base...

The 4 Lieutenants of the rebel army looked at Major Kai with silent questions in their eyes but they didn’t ask because they knew that the situation already escalated and this was not the time for asking questions, this was the time for war!

The leader of the special squad also realized what was happening as his eyes widened in horror and regret.

But it was too late for regrets.

As their minds reeled, Major Kai took a step forward and finally took on the position as the interim leader of Iron Reef in General Ren Nora’s absence.

With a cold look on his face and with violent neon green ADE beginning to flare around his body, he ordered coldly. "Unleash the Purgatory!"

BZZZZT!

The entirety of Iron Reef suddenly hummed with powerful radioactive energy like a Dragon just awoke from a slumber as thick green pillars of ADE snaked into the sky like slithering serpents!

The pillars of ADE in the sky converged, drawing on the power of the city’s aerial defense grid and projecting what looked like an illusory electronic circuit into the atmosphere above Iron Reef.

The sky turned into a giant complicated neural electronic circuit, and then the cyber world overlapped with reality!
