Star Citizen Online: Isekai Edition

Chapter 26: Destruction of the Solar Cult (2)

[Hacking into the systems. Opening all security systems.]

[All security systems within the complex have been deactivated.]

Obviously, the defenses of the Solar Cult couldn't handle the overpowering A.I. of Red Queen Alice, as she deactivated all security measures and defenses of the entire complex and let Arcturus have free access to the entire place.

"Where should I head? Where are the high-profile targets located?"

Arcturus asked as he entered the complex that was within the valley. The enormous steel doors that had previously blocked the entrance for him were now wide open because they had been hacked by the Red Queen.

[Head to the right, approximately five hundred meters straight, and you will find an elevator that leads directly to the deepest levels of the headquarters. I took control of the facility, so it was safe to go. Across the halls, there is only minimal resistance registered, mostly average soldiers of the Solar Cult on that.]

Hearing that, Arcturus nodded as he ran according to Alice's instructions and searched for the elevator. Right now, his priorities were straight: find the Prophet of the Solar Cult and cut his head, together with that of the Militia Generals.

Then, he would need to clear the deepest levels of the most essential personnel because, according to Alice's calculations, the level where the most important people of the Solar Cult were hiding is greatly resistant to the orbital bombardment.

Unfortunately, the Obscurus didn't have enough firepower to breach that deep into the ground. It would be thought possible for a prolonged one, but that was not possible because then they would be found by some of the locals, and it would soon enough delve into the fight.

"Roger that. Monitor the entire situation and have the base on the stand-by."

He then issued some orders to the Red Queen as he proceeded to the elevators, only for them to be guarded by several of the guards from the Solar Cult. However, these ones looked more like guards than soldiers because they were wearing uniforms and were armed only with handguns.

It seems that most of the soldiers were indeed out there and fighting against the Battle Droids or at least attempting to stall his Battle Droids as much. But such action was futile, with Alice controlling them and also the entire base.

It was like bullying a little child with her on his side.

With this, he was glad that he had chosen the Obscurus as his item to go because it was armed with superior Artificial Intelligence that was making his life much easier.

[Report to the master... you should not be so dependent on my help in everything... there are many areas within the universe where I would be totally useless.]

As if she knew what he was thinking about, he heard the voice of his ever-present Artificial Intelligence.

'Seven targets, all armed with small handguns, no visible armor or any other equipment.'

Arcturus quickly analyzed the people present as he got into the battle stance, gripping the power sword and rushing at the contingent of guards. With several slashes of his sword, three of them fell to his initial attack, while the others were swiftly killed even before they could realize what was going on.

"This was much easier."

He muttered as he swung the sword once more, slashing across the back of the dying guard, killing him instantly, as he cleared the place and could proceed to the deeper underground.

Underground of the Headquarters of the Solar Cult

The underground levels of the Solar Cult were different compared to the levels above because this place was, right now, almost a literal fortress. It was very well fortified and defended, with a lot of manpower being moved here and there.

Not to mention, there were more than one hundred of the elite Solar Guards that were present at the lowest level because they were tasked with the protection of the Prophet of the Solar Cult and the rest of the higher-ups of the entire cult.

"We are numerically at a severe disadvantage."

The newly transmigrated mercenary muttered as he skimmed through the data that was collected by Red Queen Alice. Though, he was aware that with the help of the Red Queen, there was no fear from the even numerically superior foe.

[Indeed.]

The Red Queen Alice was right now monitoring the entire lowest levels and was in charge of everything that took place there. As unfortunate as it was, there were no death traps that could be used en masse to destroy the opposition within the lowest level of the headquarters.

"Can you create enough distractions to give me enough time to execute the sneak attacks?"

Arcturus asked because he already formulated the plan of despising the Solar Guard in the most efficient way. Because the foe was numerically too superior, as there were more than one hundred Solar Guards present, he needed some distractions.

[I can... actually many, some of them could be even deadly, though I need to warn you that the Solar Guards are armed better than the average footsoldiers of the Solar Cult.]

He grinned as he heard that because this was certainly way too good.

"And the situation with the Battle Droids?"

If everything went well, then the Battle Droids should soon be breaching the Solar Cults' defenses and, entering the headquarters' premises and start clearing it out.

[I have come across larger resistance right now; they are bringing anti-tank weaponry; I am going to use Obscurus for local orbital strikes.]

It was not the best situation, but that was only respectable that they would muster some defenses against the Battle Droids, even though they were not the best ones.

"And losses?"

He was curious how his Battle Droids were faring, hopefully they won't be damaged to badly.

[Zero. Minor damages to some of the ABD-Spectre MK Battle Droids, but the Spider Bastion Battle Droids are tearing their way through practically everything on the battlefield.]

This was already better than he expected from the star.
