Planet of Sand and Oasis of Iron

Chapter 299 298. Use kindness, gentleness, and words to communicate with rebellious people

On the wide street, a bipedal machine was gliding forward rapidly, its metal soles scraping brilliant sparks on the ground, causing a lot of trouble for urban road management.

The machine, over ten meters high, with a gray-blue exterior and no visible markings, advanced forward, paying no attention to the vehicles and pedestrians on the road.

"Red Crossbow, when entering combat readiness, please minimize actual losses and use anti-personnel weapons as much as possible."

Laika's voice was clearly audible in the communication, and Cypher, sitting in the machine, had already adjusted his weapons.

"I brought a large shotgun, a particle beam generator, and a vertical energy missile launcher. I've already connected them to the Academy City's weapon system. Should be fine, right?"

"In theory... well, as long as you don't use the 'spike' you brought at the end."

Leica's tone wavered a bit, and then she emphasized, "Unless absolutely necessary, you must not use the 'Spike'. Understand? Otherwise, we won't be able to compensate you for the loss of your attendance."

"I know—after this fight, come outside the school and I'll treat you to dinner."

"Now is the time to talk about this... Well, I don't want to leave the school for the time being. Just come find me at school, Red Crossbow."

Maintaining communication, Leica felt very tired for some reason.

But the small talk ended there. After a quick journey, Cypher had already arrived at the entrance of the bank, which had a relatively advanced overall structure.

This massive device quickly attracted the attention of both sides. However, due to the losses suffered by both sides, they immediately engaged in the battle of bunker attack and defense again.

There was gunfire everywhere at the scene, and even an RPG was fired, causing people to fall to the ground. Many unlucky people could only lie on the ground screaming, looking like they were about to die.

As soon as Sefer arrived, he was stopped by the school security guards. The young man who looked quite energetic nervously asked him who he was while holding a gun.
"Me? I just started today. As a new teacher supporting your studies and daily life, you can also think of me as a fire brigade."

“Firefighting…?”

Looking at this mecha that only independent mercenaries could operate, the young man from the Security Guard looked suspicious: "If you really are here to put out a fire, then help us kill these damn bandits first!"

"Okay."

As soon as Cypher answered, the giant shotgun in the body immediately opened fire.

The deafening roar instantly knocked over the teammates near the machine. Some of them fell to the ground with their hands covering their ears, while others rolled and crawled into the shelter.

A huge shotgun shell sprayed out, hitting a car and denting it - as for the area directly covered by the dense shotgun shells?

In everyone's eyes, the entire staircase, flower beds, and other decorations, as well as the defensive heavy machine gun firepower, etc., were all blown to pieces!
Even the heavy weapons firepower team there was blown back.

Considering that this machine is connected to the city's overall system, it's just... well, a visual effect. Yes, it must be believed.

Otherwise, it is impossible to explain why those unlucky guys wearing bulletproof helmets were not evenly sprayed on the wall of the bank building behind them.

Although the huge impact force makes them look like they have some broken bones.

When Seifer appeared, he scared the defenders so much that the mixed male and female defenders made the most correct choice at the first moment.

Run!
Everyone started firing a few shots carelessly, and then hurriedly fled into the building. Even as they were fleeing, the stunned security team saw that the machine was already loaded and ready to fire.

They quickly waved their hands: "Wait a minute! Don't fire at the building, there are many innocent hostages in that building!"

"...Hostages? Anyway, whether you attack or use explosives, it won't harm the hostages' lives, right?"

"But it's really painful, the kind that can make people faint... Wait, you're a teacher, you should be reasonable, right?!"

Seifer thought for a moment and calmly replied, "There are all kinds of teachers, right? Some are gentle, some are strict. Some are very reasonable, while others are a bit strange and don't talk much."

As he spoke, his voice was on loudspeaker, and the guards, who were nervously surrounding him, were also a little stunned. This was the first time they had heard a teacher explain things this way. "Yes, indeed... should be?"

The uncertain tone was too weak, but Cypher didn't care. "It just so happens that I'm not very good at speaking. Besides, there's no prohibition here against forcibly intervening in disputes, right?"

That's the truth.

So Cypher loaded his weapon and once again aimed at the enemy who seemed to be determined to fight back inside - this time, no matter where he aimed, the unfortunate child who was peeking out would immediately shrink back and pretend that no one was there.

"Uh... I, I think it shouldn't be such an asymmetrical attack..."

Hearing what he said, Sefer glanced at the armored vehicles in the distance that had not yet arrived, and the security personnel in the rear camp who were planning to enter through the ceiling to rescue the hostages.

"So using a mecha to fight humanoid units in the city is unfair?"

"Well, because we also have students who can pilot this type of unit..."

This unique technology is really convenient, but since we are talking about equality, it means that we may encounter people who use machines to cause trouble in the future - I understand.

Immediately opening the entrance, Sefer jumped down from a height of several meters.

He rolled casually the moment he landed and picked up the weapon behind him: "Okay, I'll go in and rescue the hostages, you guys stay outside and guard well."

Although not good at speaking, he was very fast in action. Carrying the weapon produced by the mercenary system that he used when he first participated in the battle, Seifer directly passed through the encirclement and approached from the shadow of the bank building.

They are called a defense team, but in fact they are just a group of students, and even the invading party are a group of students.

I just don't know who those people are who robbed the bank... After a little thought, Seifer scanned the bank with threats in his eyes and kicked open the bank door the moment he saw them.

"Everyone, stop moving! You have no way to escape!"

There was an angry shout and the sound of "bang bang bang" gunshots. The helmeted thug who was managing the hostages lying on the ground in the hall was stunned - and then he was knocked to the ground and thrashed continuously.

A few clever people immediately climbed behind the counter and fired suppressing shots at the pillar where Seifer came in and knocked down his teammates. The crackling sound of gunfire made the captives bury their heads even lower and became more terrified.

Gunfire echoed back and forth, interspersed with shouts of "We've reinforced the gate, how did you get in?"

Cypher glanced back at the completely twisted and deformed anti-collision lock-like mechanism.

"Of course, I'll go through the main gate. Let me introduce myself. I'm the newly hired martial arts instructor at the Illusion Mist Group's joint school."

Suddenly raising his hand, Seifer shot the unlucky guy who was setting up a firing point on the second floor.

The man screamed and climbed over the guardrail with his body trembling, and fell heavily on the marble floor on the first floor with his gun. Unfortunately, he was wearing a helmet, so his expression could not be seen.

"I'm here to supervise you!"

"Get lost! This money is enough for us to enjoy ourselves for half a month. A mere teacher still wants to control our lives?"

Several explosives were thrown over, and the helmeted men and women who were fighting desperately had already figured out how to concentrate their fire on the guy after he was blown out.

But then... a brilliant particle beam drew a beautiful arc and directly cut through all the explosives!

Amidst the sound of 'boom boom boom' explosions, the stern-looking silver-haired woman leaned forward and sprinted over like a ghost!
“Huh, huh, huh?!”

The students, who had never seen such a style of fighting, quickly concentrated their fire, but no one in the dense line of fire hit Seifer. Instead, they ignored the grenade he threw against the wall behind the counter and bounced to the ground.

With a loud bang, the lobby group that was fighting desperately fell to the ground with screams, looking like they were about to die.
