Chapter 865 A Risky Paradrop

Chapter 865 A Risky Paradrop

"I am sorry, my Friend. Although I know you want to rampage after hibernating for so long, you are not well equipped to do so right now." Niu Lang sighed as he turned the switch knob again, causing Mechataur to return to his soul containment unit.

The Robotic Bull Head was metaphorically jumping up and down, throwing tantrums from Niu Lang's mistreatment, yet the mecha pilot finally regained full control over his robot body.

"It's my body! How can you just kick me out of my own body?!" Mechataur raged, but Niu Lang ignored him for the moment since there were other pressing things to take care of. He quickly moved out of the castle by moving backwards and used his leg thrusters to get out of the pinch.

Unfortunately, that took another five percent of energy from the battery pack, and Niu Lang wasn't left with much. However, thanks to Mechataur's reckless use of his weapons, one of the Mechanical Castle Arms appeared to be permanently out of commission. Even the rats had stopped trying to repair it and focused on the one with the intact cannon arm, which was currently aiming at the duo.

Suddenly, explosions were seen on the castle arm, and Niu Lang recognised that the cause was artillery fire rather than internal explosions. "Orc Artillery Beta Company Leader to Mechataur Pilot. We thought that you might need some assistance since you backed off with no visible weapons at hand."

"Thank you for the assist. You came in at the right moment. I really have no more weapons because of the emergency sortie." Niu Lang decided to keep Mechataur's wasteful actions quiet. (Surprisingly, the Robotic Bull Head did not make a noise when Niu Lang was communicating back.)

"We can fire off another round, but it would not provide you sufficient precision because of distance." Beta Company Leader reported back.

"Say, are the artillery guns detachable?" Niu Lang asked as he raised Mecahtaur's arms and activated a pair of spiked gauntlets. It was an inbuilt feature in case there was a need for some close-quarter combat.

"Yes, Chief Engineer Rei had made some adjustments so we can attach the guns for emergency deployment via paradrops." The Orc Leader replied.

"Then can you send two down along with your men?" Niu Lang requested as it punched the arm and it likewise did the same thing.

"You want what?"

"Parachute them down. I will align them to the back of my shoulders. I have attachment platforms ready to lock the artillery guns down."

"That's insane! Predicting projectile shots can be achieved with the System, but I do not think it can predict where it would land to the centimetre! Especially when your Mechataur platform is moving! Also, my orcs have to land in there! That is impossible!"

"Trust in my partner!" Mechataur suddenly shouted out even when Niu Lang started to think that his unorthodox idea was way too challenging to perform. "If he can refix me into what I am now, I am sure his idea has some merit!"

"Still..- " Before Beta Company Orc Leader could say anything more, the System interjected.

"The System believes such a manoeuvre can be achieved if the predictive analysis pattern were to be implemented on both sides."

"Then hurry up. My battery pack will be dead if we do not take down this mechanical arm." Niu Lang encouraged them. The Beta Company Orc Leader had no reason to argue against it after the System had already given its assurance. Besides, the artillery gun was also the System's property. If the landing failed, that would be its responsibility and not the Orc Leader's.

"Fine. Beta Squad 4 \u0026 5, reload those guns and unlock them. We are throwing them with a pair of personnel! Choose who wants to be the first daredevil to do an artillery gun landing on a freaking bull robot!" the leader shouted, and the Orcs quickly volunteered themselves for the action.

"Eh thank you Mechataur. I thought you would make the situation worse." Niu Lang said as the Mechataur was grappling with the Mechanical Castle Arm.

"Just don't forget you owe me more upgrades for this." Mechataur laughed loudly and oddly enough, Niu Lang did not care about the bull's disruption as he focused on the screens as well as the System's solutions. In the meantime, the Beta Company's C-130 Artillery Plane had its back opened and was cruising at a slower speed than usual.

"Go Go Go!" The Artillery Company Leader spurred them on, and the Orcs around the guns assisted the push out of the planes. Unlike usual paradrops, only the weapons had the parachutes, and the pair of Orc personnel merely hitched onto the ride.

"It's coming!" Mechataur said as it saw on the top screen of the cockpit two artillery guns coming down.

However, the unexpected happened once more as the Mechanical Castle Arm had decided to turn on its laser cannon. "Fuck! It is trying to kill us at point-blank!" Niu Lang shouted. He grappled and stood his ground because it was the best position for the paradrop to land with the highest chance of success. But if he did not move in time, he could be fried into molten metal. And if he did, then it would be the artillery guns and the orcs who would be burnt instead.

Seeing how Niu Lang was struggling, Mechataur could not bear to watch this further. "Leave this to me!" The Robotic Bull Head said as he jumped (by using his chin!) and aimed for the switch knob. Even though the Robotic Head was connected with a few charging wires, the distance away from the switch knob might cause the wire to be plugged out. Still, Mechataur took the risk and did it as he knew Niu Lang cannot leave his hands away from the controls.

"You cannot do this without me!" The Mechataur's soul managed to be retransferred back before the last connecting wire was unplugged forcibly because of the distance and gravity. Rendered speechless by its actions, Niu Lang watched Mechataur use up even more battery to push the palm downwards while moving into position to receive the artillery guns based on the System's data.

"ZAAMMMMMM" The laser cannon was activated at the very last minute when the guns were about to touch down.?The Mechanical Castle Arm burned Mechataur's feet as it tried to hold on to the palm. The artillery guns managed to touch down despite the intense rocking and heat emanated from the downwards laser cannon.

"ARRGGGHHH!" Mechataur shouted as he continued to pin down the palm while the orc personnel quickly locked the artillery guns' leg spikes into the Mechataur's shoulder. Immediately upon locking, the artillery guns fired their first shot after landing which managed to disrupt the laser cannon. And without any further instructions, the personnel already started to unload the used shell and placed a new one in.

"FIRE FIRE FIRE!" Niu Lang shouted in his cockpit as he continued to cheer for Mechataur and the artillery gunners. The Demon War had made the gunners an expert in reloading with a minimum amount of people operating them.

This particular performance of continuous shooting was nonetheless showing off their incredible skill as the other C-130 Artillery Planes were also joining in to bring the Mechanical Castle Arm down from afar.
