Chapter 1779 King Of Bearling -Part 17
"I leave the timing and targets to you," Jin said as he pressed the button to release the Helicarrier's cargo door bays. He was confident that the System was able to pinpoint the targets that needed to be destroyed.
"Noted, the System had spotted potential targets for attack." The System replied and Jin's holographic console had been filled with the targets in such a way that it was impossible for Jin to identify them even with his Inverse Eyes.
"Then let's get all these babies to fly!" Jin said as he turned to the other portion of his holographic console where there was a list of mechanical names for the challenger to choose from. As he and the System was the one who had coordinated the packing of the items into the helicarrier, the top of the list were the ones closest to the cargo bay.
Cloudie could not help but look behind for a moment as he saw all the mechanical drones plastered with C4 explosives had been switched on. For a moment, he had forgotten that the helicarrier was a walking timebomb considering all the amount of C4 explosives packed into a drone could already destroy the helicarrier and he had at least 30 over of such drones inside... Or that was what he thought.
"Erm, do we have 30 over drones inside the helicarrier?" Cloudie decided to check and Jin looked at him puzzled.
"Does this look like it's 30 over drones to you? My list indicated 88 of them. Too bad I could not squeeze another 2 more inside."
"Ah…I remembered now why you asked me to go in via the air duct above the cockpit instead…" Cloudie sighed as he could not believe Jin could squeeze that many in his helicarrier. But it was also at that point where Cloudie thought of the worst that could happen if his helicarrier's shields were to be penetrated. "Is that why Diamondz was so insistent on upgrading my helicarrier's shield modules? Would that mean that if this aircraft would ever…"
"Cloudie… Concentrate. Don't think of the possible consequences." Jin said as he turned on the next batch of drones. In the meantime, the System had already confirmed the targets and those nearest to the cargo bay had already been dispatched into the city.
Because of the nature of the drone, it would be destroyed almost immediately upon identifying the target. Thus, the drone was made to be sturdy enough for flight, an AI chip that controls the flight and some evasive manoeuvre. The rest of the body was plastered with C4 explosives so that they could make a good firework for Jin to watch from the Helicarrier above.
Which it eventually did.
The soldiers tried to shoot down the helicarrier that was coming as well as those manning the anti air guns but those were the very first targets that the drones, partially covered in darkness, had flown towards. Their explosions would render the anti air to be taken down and later the System targeted the soldiers with RPGs and later tanks.
The priority list was to take down all the high level equipment that the Royal Guards had put out just so that there were lesser things to worry about when the Fortress Golems came into the picture or when Jin entered the fray.
When they knew that a sufficient amount of anti air defences had been taken out, Jin asked the System with regards to dogfights that were happening above them. "Number superiority had been ensured and the System analysed they would be too busy to bother on the helicarrier. Needless to say, the AI planes would prioritise the protection of the helicarrier as it proceeds to the next phase."
"Alright, then Cloudie. Time to work your magic in flying once more. After which, you can return back with the new callsign assigned to you. This way, the airspace should be available to you once the helicarrier has done its part for the operation."
"You sure, you do not need me to hang around?"
"And be easy prey for potential Mecha Dragons? Nah."
"Wait what? There will be Mecha Fire Dragons around?" Cloudie asked and Jin shrugged his shoulders.
"The possibility is there and we had ruled that the Queen would do anything and everything to retain her sovereignty. I would not be surprised I see more than 10 Mecha Dragons if she was so confident to bring out that condition where I will be her 'slave' when the challenge is over."
"The AI planes are ready to defend for the second phase." The System said and Jin commanded Cloudie to move to the second phase. Because of the number of drones that were inside the helicarrier, by allowing drones to move batch by batch would eventually enable the enemy to understand what was going on. Right now, Jin had the shock factor with him and he had to utilise it before the soldiers knew what was going on exactly.
If they had snipers that could bring down the drones, it would be a waste of effort to bring them from Daimon City to Bearling City. So, in the second phase, Cloudie would be performing the very same manoeuvre that he had used when he was flying the Grey Bear Squad over the monster outbreak on the Western Front. His vertical climb trick had enabled Tellie to destroy the Monster Lure Pillar and get out of there safely.
Thus, he was doing the very same thing but this time, it was not for Jin to snipe anything down but it was to let the drones which were in his helicarrier free fall the moment he did the vertical climb. At that point, the System would use the AI Planes to protect Cloudie's aircraft and ensure that he would be able to get away safely after that.
This also means that Jin would be the last 'item' to drop out of the plane, allowing him to have a diving attack against anything that seemed the most dangerous once the explosive drones had their job.
