BIOLOGICAL SUPERCOMPUTER SYSTEM

Chapter 226 Camille And Ramon

In front of the breach, Camille was on top of a car in front of the breach, shooting left and right at every beast in sight; every bullet used corresponded to a death. Even though there were so many beasts, Camille stayed calm and focused, and her years of training helped her kill each one with deadly accuracy. She knew failure was not an option; her pockets depended on it.

Camille thought the creatures were underwhelming, which was probably because only low leveled, and small thaids could pass through the door's breach. However, these beasts were low leveled for her, but that didn't necessarily mean they were for the others.

Camille looked at Ramon, who was using his telekinesis abilities to control multiple weapons simultaneously, and he was currently cleaving the thaids in half. He could kill more than one beast at a time, and whenever he was about to be hit by one of them, Camille acted by killing the creature. It was a bullseye every time the girl fired. Camille admired Ramon's skills and was grateful to have him as a teammate. Together, they made a great team and were able to take down the thaids efficiently.

Ramon was armed to the teeth; he had five swords levitating all around in a circle; they were all made of robust materials and created by skilled artisans; some even employed Etrium's newest technology, one that allowed them to harness thaids' powers. Some weapons, in fact, had wind powers imbued into them, and some could produce fire. However, these weapons were a little bit unstable since the technology was new, and they were currently testing it out.

Camille was looking at her friend and comrade with an amused look as he cleaved beast after beast in half. Around Ramon, countless soldiers and mercenaries were doing their job and killing any thaid unlucky enough to get closer than 5 meters from them.

However, thanks to her power, Camille did most of the work and killed beast after beast with surprising ease. Frant's soldiers were left stunned by her power and were even slightly jealous of her since she could do something they wouldn't be able to do, not even with a hundred years of constant training. Camille's power was a rare gift that she had gotten from her brain crystal power, and it made her a formidable warrior on the battlefield. She knew that the Frantian soldiers would have struggled to survive on this dangerous and unforgiving battlefield without her and Ramon.

"Care to leave something for me?" Ramon barked at his friend. "You're making too many kills." He said while still fighting off several thaids, but he wasn't paying attention to any of them anymore; his friend just pissed him off.

Camille smiled and winked at him before firing two bullets straight toward two of the beasts that Ramon was targeting. The bullets pierced their two creatures' brains, killing them on the spot and adding two more dead bodies to the ground, which was now littered with gore, blood, and ichor.

"HEY! STOP IT!" Ramon shouted again.

"What did you say? I couldn't hear you! ahhahahaha!" Camille then started shooting again at the thaids, increasing the number of bodies around.

"Crazy psycho..." Ramon muttered.

However, Frant's soldiers looked at them as if they were both crazy. After all, even Ramon was a killing machine in a different league than the other people on the battlefield. He and Camille were killing more creatures than any other person there, and this happened in just ten minutes since they reached the breach. Ramon and Camille's skills on the battlefield were unmatched, and their reputation preceded them. Frant's soldiers couldn't help but feel a sense of awe and fear towards the two warriors fighting alongside them, wondering what would happen if they ended up as their enemies.

While the mercenaries and a few soldiers fought the thaids, some people tried to close the breach; they were almost done, but this was not an easy process with all those thaids trying to kill them. Camille did her best to kill the thaids who tried to come through the breach, but she had to be careful not to kill the people repairing the door, and she was not that good at that.

"Hey, isn't it time that these fuckers do their job and repair the breach? If we were in Etrium, they would have already been kicked out by the army for their incompetence!" Camille said.

"Shut up, don't be so vulgar," Ramon said, as he hated when people cursed or used bad words.

"Besides, it's not easy to close the door if you keep shooting in their direction!" he added.

"It's not my fault if more and more thaids keep rushing through the hole!" the woman replied.

The duo then proceeded to go toward the door, where they could see that there were still thaids attempting to enter through the breach, preventing the soldiers from closing the hole.

"Ahhh!" Ramon shouted out loud. "We have to find a way to stop the creatures from approaching the door, or else we will never be able to close the hole," he added.

"Call Frant's militaries then," Camille said.

"Good idea, but I do not think they will be able to do much..."

Frant's soldiers now looked at the two with angry looks. They were blatantly insulting everyone, including them, and belittling their nation.

Ramon went to one of the cars and took a phone from the holder. He dialed a number and then spoke to someone unknown.

***

On the walls, Colonel Tiwana received a call from someone from the communication department. The colonel listened for a while before nodding his head in agreement with what her subordinate said. He then turned back toward the group gathered on the wall overlooking the palace grounds.

"They are saying that they already killed all the beasts behind the breach but that they can't close it because the thaids keep crawling into it," the man on the other side of the phone said. The problem was that, previously, Tiwana had to redirect the artillery toward the horde and stop to kill the monsters at the eastern gate's breach. This reduced the number of monsters who rushed there but didn't stop them completely.

Tiwana heaved a sigh of relief once he learned that the monsters on the other side of the breach had died, but there was still much to do.

"Finally, this hell is coming to an end," Tiwana murmured.

"What do we have to do?" asked the soldier.

"Redirect four to five artillery units toward the door; kill any creature approaching it," he replied.

"But sir, this will significantly increase the pressure on the melee troops!" the man on the phone said.

"I know, but we will give enough time to the mercenaries to close the breach, and then they will be able to join us on the main battlefield," Colonel Tiwana stated.

Tiwana then looked behind the wall, where the barrier and the eastern gate were, and he looked directly at the breach. He could see creatures on top of each other, trying to reach the hole, which was now in a too-high position for the thaids to reach it easily.

The creatures killed and squished each other, and only the bugs like thaids were able to crawl on the door and go to the other side. However, someone promptly blew them apart; it was Camille from the other side of the gate.

He then spoke again to the man on the phone. "Do as I said; give the order now."

Immediately, five cannons turned their attention to the thaids in front of the eastern gate's breach and started blasting them with all they had. Some soldiers even joined the fray and started unleashing their power against the monsters.

The explosions not only directly killed the monsters trying to enter the breach but also destroyed the bodies in front of it, bodies that previously created a sort of ladder for the monsters to climb.

The artillery took less than thirty seconds to destroy everything in its path.

A few more minutes passed until the last monsters fell dead or retreated. When the barrage stopped, everyone waited tensely.

Once the situation stabilized, Tiwana told one of his men to contact the mercenaries behind the eastern gate and tell them to close the breach since there were no beasts for the time being.

Then he ordered the artillery to concentrate again on the horde, lessening the soldiers' burden. He then looked at the battlefield and saw an excellent opportunity coming. He then sent another message: "All units, prepare for action! We need to secure our right flank ASAP!"

The soldiers immediately did their job and started concentrating on the fire there.

At the same time, Camille and Ramon received their orders, and the two mercenaries helped Frant's soldiers close the breach. They could see that. Finally, there weren't any creatures trying to reach the hole, and soon the mechas started closing it. Part of their mission had been completed; now they needed to go outside the barrier and kill as many thaids as they could.

(AN: Ok, guys, in the following days, I will probably upload only a chapter a day. I'm currently in the process of laying out chapter by chapter the last narrative arc of the first volume, and I won't be able to write much if anything at all, due to the many things I need to do IRL. Now, I would like to ask you something: do you like the multi-POV style, or would you like more POVs about Erik? Depending on the answer, I may need to change things a bit. Let me know in the comments what you think about this.)
