Future Shock (Initial Project)

Vol. 4 Chapter 11 - Simultaneous Engagement

———

Kara observed the video feed provided by one of Sagorski's repurposed drones that were continuously circling the area at an untouchable altitude.

Several areas have been marked for termination, identification from the special operations forces currently residing in the unmarked Command building have provided the necessary and unnecessary places to target before the paradropping Forces enter the town to eliminate all hostiles. All that is necessary to eliminate any forms of mana communication.
As of now, they were waiting for feedback.

Kara looked at Chitose who scrutinized the points, however, a rather disdainful expression was a bit present on her face.

"General Kadokawa. Is there something bothering you." She asked.

"Nothing, SecDef. I'm just thinking of ways to torture the surrendering higher-level individuals that defied Master."

"Ah, I See, A reasonable caus- Excuse me, What did you say?" Kara said, before abruptly cutting herself off after hearing the last word, 'Master'.

["Spectre Leader to FOB"] Eventually, the voice of the Infiltration Unit spoke on the radio.

"Spectre leader, Mission status." responded.

["All Personnel in the Command Outpost have been secured. Moving to secondary Objective."]

"Copy that, Spectre Leader."

"Alright, call the air cavalry in. And Prepare Howitzers and Hwachas, Both facing inwards and outwards, Leave alone those inside the walls, I just don't want to see any semblance of escapees from the city or possible enemy units closing in response to the rising fires."

"Affirmative."

(A/N: Hwacha is Aurelia's short term for Rocket Artillery, mostly because the RA platforms they are using are vaguely reminiscent of the Traditional Hwacha.)

—Artifact Chamber—

A number of the individuals wander around the chamber, some being tempted to take the riches simply scattered across the floor only to be severed from that endeavour by Colette and Coen, commanding them to remain vigilant of their surroundings and remain cautious. Matthew managed to stride his way and stood nearby the pedestal where the Artifact capable of teleportation is set atop.

"Alright let us begin with this one." Coen soon Spoke to Colette as he pointed to one artifact that could be described as a tablet, Matthew likening it to one of those Precursor Keys from subnautica. The same goes for a few other tablets with their distinguishing colouration.

The specified artifact was mainly an Amplification type, specifically towards physical strength & agility, however, artificial tweaking may increase Its physiological influence output.

"Alright, come on-." Colette said with a hint of impatience at the speed acorn is going at.

"Hold it," Coen said.

"What?" She responded in annoyance.

"As much as I want to burn Aurelia to the ground as you, You must be cautious. Do you think we can just grab these all Willy-nilly? Well of course, if you want to suffer extreme consequences from the temple itself."

"Kh... Fine." She said and proceeded to wait, while Coen began.

Two of the group's guards stood by the artifact, informed regarding which artifacts are necessary. Fortunately, they are in a somewhat distant area. And Matthew quickly walked behind both of them, he waited until the necessary moment without witness to have them both knocked out or rather... Murder.
