Chapter 1307 - 425: The Democracy Cannon and Democracy Fist!

Chapter 1307: Chapter 425: The Democracy Cannon and Democracy Fist!

The situation in this frontline command center is far from normal. The players are not a traditional army, there’s no sentry duty or military discipline. It’s all left to the doorframe robots.

The Hell Divers are scattered throughout the church, with each squad squatting off to the side, discussing tactics and strike targets.

However, due to the strong demands of the Truth Department, the main command center for the Divers retains a semblance of professionalism.

On a long table that has been cleared, there’s a tourist map spread out, and a group of people are gathered around it, pointing and gesturing.

They can’t help it. They advanced too quickly before and didn’t have time for the system to scan the map. They fought through the frontline and ended up in this completely unfamiliar city. Apart from getting guidance from locals, all they have is the tourist map they bought earlier.

The tardy Truth Department pushes the door open and enters.

"Evening... er, I mean, good morning, folks. The company had some issues to deal with, hence the overtime delay. Hope you’ll forgive me."

The group glanced at the sun outside the window, nearly at its zenith. The 24-hour in-game and real-time difference indeed makes it confusing.

And they all responded in unison

"Good morning, Truth Department."

The Truth Department adjusted its collar.

"Now, let’s report the battle statuses of the respective units."

The man from the Publicity Department on the left pretended to be formal and saluted as if making a report.

"Boss, our army just arrived at Hutado Park in the west of the city. Sanzi is leading the assault team. We expect to take it by this afternoon."

"Cough!"

The Truth Department coughed softly, pouting and speaking softly.

"I’ve said it multiple times, use titles during work."

"Yes! My apologies, Chief Title."

Then the Truth Department spoke loudly

"Too slow. Tell him to speed up. Next to Hutado Park is the Revolutionary Martyrs Cemetery. No matter what, we have to strive hard."

"Yes, I’ll have him charge bravely right away!"

He then looked at the flashy woman who was temporarily called in to assist, standing on the right.

"Slacker, where’s your unit now."

"...."

The flashy woman looked constipated. While she found the atmosphere inside the command center abstract, as if awkwardly reciting lines at a comic convention, she had no choice but to continue playing along.

"Um... still surrounding the Sun Mansion in the city center."

The Truth Department deliberately asked

"Why so slow?"

"Report, the enemy has stuffed over a thousand civilians into the first to fourth floors of the mansion, using them as human shields. We really can’t break through."

The main drones, the air force, have been used on the Western Front. On the Eastern Front, Super Earth’s share isn’t much. Plus, anti-air systems are scattered all over the city, even attempting a hovercar raid would get shot down.

So, facing this shameless tactic, for the moment there’s no better solution.

"This is a minor problem. Our Democratic Cannon has been built and is being transported to the frontline. We’re just short on ammunition, but I believe this problem will soon be resolved."

After finishing, the Truth Department looked at the last person, his beloved armored unit captain, who had to switch to tanks due to lack of aircraft. With a fake-serious air, he asked

"So, Shenwei, where’s your unit?"

"Um..."

Shenwei’s forehead was sweating

"Yesterday’s reckless driving got a bit out of control, used up all the Chun Er stock, now we’re waiting for supplies and maintenance."

"Very well."

The Truth Department appreciated his honesty

"Someone, take him away. He’s just right for being the ammunition for the Democratic Cannon."

"What?"

Shenwei’s face changed drastically, disregarding the two divers who had already grabbed his shoulders. He struggled frantically

"Truth Department, you can’t do this. I’ve flown planes for Super Earth! I’ve shed blood for Super Earth! I want to see General Bulashit! I want to see General Bulashit!"

No matter how he resisted, it made no difference. The divers dragged him away, and as the noise gradually faded, the Truth Department looked at the others

"The timing’s just right, the Technical Department just informed me that the Democratic Cannon is complete. Let’s all go witness this great and sacred moment for Super Earth."

The flashy woman complained inwardly

’Can I skip it?’

But it was useless, she had to go, otherwise she might also be sent to be ammunition for the Democratic Cannon.

That so-called Democratic Cannon was set up on top of a small bungalow two kilometers away from the Sun Mansion.

The design looked less like a cannon and more like a large hollow cylindrical steel beam magnified many times and placed on a base. The inner diameter was over two meters, wrapped all over with plenty of cables, connected to a generator truck downstairs. Its design could only be described as "simple".

Neither democratic, nor did it resemble a cannon. On the ground next to it was a revolver-style magazine, with a diameter of over two meters, very exaggerated.

When the Truth Department and others arrived, a Technical Department player excitedly reported to him

"Report, it has been calibrated. After the ammunition is supplemented, it can be fired at any time."

"Still waiting for ammo?"

The Truth Department was a bit puzzled

"Didn’t I just send one over? Not enough?"

The Technical Department player explained

"The Democratic Cannon can launch six people at a time, aside from the three volunteers and Shenwei, we’re still short two. For the first test launch, we must fill the flight magazine."

"Once the test launch is complete, we can adjust the parameters and continue launching reinforcements."

Facing high terrain and difficulty in penetrating without air support, Super Earth chose the most convenient method.

That’s using the electromagnetic principle to subsonically launch people up there, especially these high-level combat-specialized players. As long as they can break through the enemy’s firepower net and reach the formation, they would cause significant destruction.
