NOVEL ONLINE FREE Chapter 451: Chapter 451: What a Trap...
"Hello again, Miss Angelia."
UMP45 waved cheerfully in the holographic image, prompting Angelia's expression to falter.
"How could it be you guys?"
Observing UMP45 and UMP9 beside her, Angelia scratched her head in frustration.
These two had already settled the deal with her. She funded while they executed.
Unfortunately, things went awry.
They ran into Renault, who immediately intervened and shut them down. If not for that, she wouldn't have hastily pulled AK12 and AN94 out of the lab.
And now? Was it karma? Or was the money destined to end up in UMP45's pocket anyway?
"Of course it's us. The others at home aren't interested in these extra earnings. It's just us. Due to some minor reasons, we've accrued a little debt, so it's necessary to earn more to repay it," UMP45 said, glancing at UMP40 besides her who was apologetic at her.
It was because UMP40 had borrowed from other dolls to buy those two cats. Although no one pressed them for repayment, owing debts wasn't UMP45's style.
Since there was an opportunity now, she wouldn't miss it. Besides, if it weren't for Renault, they might not even have a place to stay now, just shuttling between the safe houses provided by Angelia.
Following HK416's curiosity, Angelia wondered how much money she could offer for this mission.
"Alright, regardless of which doll it is, none under Renault's command are simple," l
Angelia nodded helplessly at UMP45's words. She couldn't control Renault's decisions.
But those two slackers from last time! They didn't inform AK12! If it weren't for MDR and RFB, AK12 and AN94 wouldn't have rushed into Sector S06 without proper gear!
It was fortunate that UMP45's team took the mission this time. At least she knew UMP45 was reliable, and there wouldn't be many complications during the mission.
If Renault assigned her someone like MDR and RFB again... she might as well go herself!
Watching UMP45 negotiating with Angelia on the side, Renault nodded in satisfaction.
Though he thought the price was a bit high, facing Angelia,l who didn't seem wealthy, if he pushed too hard, she might reconsider.
"Do you trust them so easily?"
Acting as a mascot on the workbench, AR15 asked Renault quietly, noticing his lack of interference.
"Of course. What's there not to trust? We're thousands of meters above Sector S06. They're just flying down to pick up two people. What's there to worry about?"
Hearing this, AR15 looked speechlessly at UMP45, who had just successfully negotiated with Angelia and was now gesturing victory to Renault.
This guy... is she really one of Renault's dolls? They were all so adept at swindling.
In just a few moments, they were about to pocket eight hundred thousand from someone. Wasn't that a bit too easy?
After finalizing the price, Angelia informed Renault and hung up to arrange for AK12 and AN94 to wait for rescue.
If everything went smoothly, before Angelia even called them, UMP45's team might have already brought AK12 and AN94 onto the ship.
...
"Now what?"
AN94 asked AK12 beside her.
They had successfully located and destroyed Intruder with the help of information from the Hunter's Point. Though Executioner had interfered, Griffin's support had been invaluable.
But now, as they prepared to retreat, they were being pursued by a Sangvis Ferri elite doll named Ouroboros, who was relentless. It was unclear what had gotten into her.
"Really, if Griffin could send a helicopter to pick us up, that would be great." AK12 complained, not answering AN94's question.
After destroying Intruder, they could have easily taken out Ouroboros.
However, for some reason, Ouroboros had managed to recall most of Sangvis Ferri's armored units patrolling outside, swarming Intruder's vicinity.
They almost took Griffin's support fleet with them in one go, and they couldn't escape. Now, they were surrounded in the area near Ouroboros's base, and Sangvis Ferri units from the surrounding areas were constantly reinforcing. It was only a matter of time before they were captured.
"12! Those Manticore units are coming this way!"
"Ugh! Nowhere to hide?"
Seeing the Manticore units approaching, AK12 felt a headache coming on. In this area, there was almost a Manticore unit every few hundred meters.
This quantity was far more than what Angelia's intel had shown. How had Griffin managed to hold off these units before?
"You two sneaky rodents! Do you think you can escape from my grasp!?"
Before the Manticore units could reach them, Ouroboros's roar echoed from afar, accompanied by a series of missiles trailing behind her!
Had AK12 ever seen such wastefulness among Sangvis Ferri dolls? They were just dealing with two tactical dolls, did they really need so many missiles!?
AK12 wondered, but her feet were already in motion, and AN94, beside her, understood. They dashed toward the Manticore units closing in!
These Manticore units were indeed useful as armored units, especially in mountainous and rugged terrain. Their quadrupedal all-terrain capabilities were excellent.
However, their weapons couldn't rotate, making them ineffective against fast-moving targets at close range. Their turning speed couldn't meet military operational requirements.
Therefore, after acquiring these Manticore prototypes, the military had cut them in half and installed other weapons on their bodies that could adjust their attack directions.
Of course, these were all sidelines. AK12 and AN94 naturally knew the weaknesses of these Manticore units. Taking advantage of their momentary openings, they charged toward the sides of these units!
