Naval Gacha System: It's Time To Monopolize The Seven Seas!

Chapter 11: | 011 | Valkyries from Above

As they saw the Apaches in the distance soaring through the azure heavens, those in the Black Hawks were relieved. The arrival of the reinforcements brought hope to their hearts. This was mostly applicable to the expeditionary research personnel.

The Marines merely grinned at the arrival of their cleavers.

"Hahahaha! It's time to get some pork barbeque!"

"Bring some back when you return!"

"I wonder how they taste?"

Such words escaped from the mouths of the soldiers who almost got slaughtered by living pick-up trucks charging at them with their sharp protruding tusks.

While the Marines were cursing at the living pick-up trucks, the Black Hawks continued to hover above the dozens of monster boars that still kept trampling over their previous locations.

However, the Marines had long stopped firing as there was no need to waste ammunition. The only thing they needed to do was return as their operation had already succeeded.

*Delta 1-3, Delta 1-4, you're clear to RTB.*

When the two Apaches arrived near the transport helicopters, they immediately ordered the evacuation of the Black Hawks belonging to the Bravo Task Force.

*This is Delta 1-3, Affirmative!*

*Delta 1-4, Roger!*

The Black Hawks didn't hesitate to accept the transmission of the apaches and pointed their nose in the direction of the Port of Dawn. The pilots then directed the transport helicopters towards their destination.

In the meantime, the Apache pilots soon observed the herd of monster boars. They remembered the mission given to them after reinforcing the Bravo Task Force.

They were free to engage any target they deemed a threat without further authorization from higher command. Meaning that they were weapons-free.

*Cleave 1, Engaging ground targets!*

*BRRRRRRTTTTTTTT!!!*

Cleave 1 didn't hesitate and started firing its chain gun mounted at the bottom of its nose. Gleaming flames escaped the barrels of the chain gun as a torrent of lead stormed the monsters below.

*Cleave 2, opening fire!*

*BBRRRRRRRRTTTTTTTTTTT!!!*

The second Apache followed suit and brought down the might of gunpowder to the pigs that dared to attack them out of nowhere. The results of the deadly chain guns were horrifying.

In mere seconds, the herd of monster boars were stripped of their numbers. Dozens of giant boars were riddled with expounding holes that blew their bodies open.

It was a massacre.

But the Apaches never stopped firing.

They were given orders, and they shall do so without questions.

The thunderous roars of the chain guns reverberated throughout the eastern grassland. Even the retreating Black Hawks heard of it, making the crayon-eaten cavemen cheer for the cleavers.

Several of the assaulting monster boars felt instinctual fear with the thousands of thunderclaps echoing in their ears. This caused the herd to split up into multiple sections.

Some continued to assault and stomp the former LZ, while the others escaped into the eastern grassland.

"Captain Lux, do you have any opinions?" Abraham looked at the silent captain in the command room.

"The operation was a success, Fleet Admiral. So, I agree with the words of the lieutenant commander. While cautiousness is appropriate, we also need to understand that risks must be taken for growth." Captain Lux supported the lieutenant commander.

It was in light of his way of thinking.

"Thank you for both of your opinions. I understand your point of view. Instead of conversing about regrets and what could be done, what should we do with the existence of such things?"

Abraham looked at the image sent by them during the assault in the eastern grassland. Giant boar-like monsters were not within his expectations, but it was in line with fantasy.

This made him stop questioning whether such existence made sense.

"These animals are dangerous. They appeared to be hostile and seemed to be concentrated on attacking. I believe that these boar-looking monsters must be predators of some sort."

"They must have quite acute senses since the only way for them to track the Bravo Task Force's location was through the loud noise of the transport helicopters."

"And these things could also take bullets with ease, requiring a great deal of effort to take down with ordinary arms. In simpler terms, they are problematic."

"In my personal opinion, I'd want to have them out of the island. But that wouldn't be in line with the thinking of the United Navy. Perhaps, a deterrence will be needed."

Lieutenant Commander Morgen was the first to give his opinion. His solution was expensive yet simple. That was to have an escort in future mobilization throughout the island.

Doing such a thing would cost a lot of resources to the United Navy, but it was an effective short-term solution.

"Until we learn more about these things, we must avoid exterminating them." Captain Lux also wasn't inclined to exterminate an entire species off the island despite finding them annoying.

"It seems that we have reached an agreement. In the future, armed escorts will be given to any convoy that will be mobilized into the island." Abraham reached a decision with the two high officers agreeing with nods.

――――

Meanwhile, on the northern plateau was unprecedented chaos.

*BOOM!!!*

"Don't let them climb up! Take all of them down!" Campbell ordered his fellow Marines to keep shooting at the climbing strange-looking monsters.

These guys appeared out of nowhere and were about to attack them from the base. The bastards were good at hiding, but luckily the Alpha Task Force noticed them.

*Bang!* *BRRrrrrrrttttt!* *Bang!*

The Marines pulled their triggers and gave the monsters a hailstorm of lead. Some also loaded the GLMs with grenade ammunition and swiftly fired at the incoming abominations.

*Bam!* *Bam!* *Bam!* *Bam!* *Bam!*

Like before, the cannisters flew into the air and fell into the monsters sprinting at them from the bottom. What followed were the radiant lights and thunderous explosions.

*BOOM!!!* *BOOM!!!* *BOOM!!!* *BOOM!!!* *BOOM!!!*

The monsters resembled leopards with the size of elephants. These guys had several tentacles on their necks while also maintaining several pairs of eyes.

Their mouth was unsightly to see as it looked like a shredder. Most people would rather burn these things alive than let them live.

*BRRRrrrrtttttt!* *Bang!* BRRrrrrrrrtt!*

The battle between those of higher ground and lower ground was loud and fiery. None were willing to give up and were determined to fight to the death if needed.
