Chapter 156: the battle of raining money

Through his clever and well-planned maneuvers, Clark was able to lead the 2 sisters to avoid the battalion of soldiers that were converging towards the hospital. But he could not keep this for long, the soldiers originally stationed around the surrounding of the hospital were just too much.

This alone clearly showed the current power of the Rivaldo family. Though they were still far from the peak Bauer family, their influence was already more or less there.

Knowing that he could no longer avoid the soldiers, Clark prepared well for their unavoidable clash.

Boom!! His figure launched into the ranks of the soldiers unexpectedly with his spear, killing no less than 6 soldiers in the process as a large chaotic battle immediately erupted.

The soldiers quickly recovered, but he took advantage of this opening to push further, straight to the direction of the gate.

Blood blossomed in his wake, forming a beautiful and intimidating sight of blood and gore as his spear went through these soldier’s armor like they were just paper.

No high-grade soldier was among these randomly matched groups of soldiers, so his fierce massacre could not be stopped.

Despite this, none of the soldiers stopped as they all received clear orders from their leader. The leader of the Rivaldo family was extremely angry with his son’s death, he was ready to go to any lengths to avenge him.

They were being butchered like mere chickens, but most of them didn’t give a damn as they knew that the main Rivaldo army and the soldiers of the nearest military division were on the way coming.

As soldiers who were already guaranteed to not cross the boundary to become a high-grade soldier, their life was not worth a fart here in the Ratliff republic.

The government recognize them as cannon fodder and so were they treated, as there was nothing they could do about their country’s cruelty.

Should they migrate to another country? The new country would just take them as spies. Should they conspire and revolt against the government? They did not dare, as the strength backing was not there.

Their only compensation in life was that they were better paid than normal civilians, which was still better than nothing.

Clark already knew of this cruel reality, so he was not startled by the soldier’s brainless offensive. This didn’t bother him though; he was no saint when his survival or that of his friend was on the line.

Emily quickly gave an energy shield to her sister for protection, before quickly joining the battle as she knew that breaking out would be hard.

With her help, Clark’s offensive became more efficient as they smoothly started carving a path of blood towards the hospital’s large main gate.

This battle was just too unbridled, as, in less than a minute, a place that was originally a place of healing became a place of blood and gore.

The medical practitioners were shocked by the sudden battle, but they did not pay much attention to it as they tried to prevent their patients from seeing the overflowing blood and body parts lying outside.

A patient that originally came here for healing could develop a lifetime trauma from witnessing this battle alone, but the Ratliff republic clearly did not care.

In less than a minute, hundreds of the soldiers were already dead, cramping the hospital ground with dead bodies as the others still tried to rush forward.

After all these kills, Clark finally escorted the 2 sisters to the main gate. The gate was locked, but as a high-grade soldier, he had his ways to go around this limitation.

His forward speed was unimpeded, as his spear released its force field for the first time since the battle started. He jumped high to gather momentum, before falling like a meteorite as he aimed at whatever was before him.

Boom!! His figure crashed down with the force of an avalanche, as the gate divided into 2 immediately.

Every soldier that stubbornly remained at the gate to protect it received a free death ticket, as they were all cleanly cut through in the process.

Kate watched with glittering but fearful eyes, as the enormous gate before her was hacked in 2. From the way her sister unconditionally listened to whatever this man said, she could already deduce that she trusted him a lot.

“Who is this mysterious man that suddenly appeared with sister? Did she finally get a fiancée? And such a strong one?” All these thoughts revolved around her head, but she could not think deeply as she followed her sister closely.

Escaping was still her priority, despite her not being optimistic about its practical reality. To her, they were playing a deadly game of chess.

This overwhelming battalion of soldiers was left destroyed and devastated, as their opponent was escaping before their eyes after wreaking untold havoc in their midst.

They still pursued though, as the order from their higher-ups was still fiercely blazing in their minds.

Under Clark’s leadership, the 2 sisters were more efficient as they quickly disappeared from this leaderless group of soldiers in less than a minute.

As a result of the gunshots echoing around, all the houses in this surrounding were locked as their owners feared for their lives. This acted to their advantage, as they weaved between compounds like experienced thieves.

As soon as they went into another alley in a street about a kilometer away from the hospital, reinforcement finally came.

Through his 3d battlefield view, Clark was able to see the outrageous new soldier entrances immediately. He already expected such, so he suppressed his shock as he led the sisters to hide at a corner.

From his view, heavily modified and armored military vehicles entered the small street that they hid in droves. From the logos in the vehicles, he confirmed his speculation that these newcomers were from the Rivaldo family and the nearby military division.

“Emily, come help me”. He said calmly before quickly bringing his bag down. He already expected such a situation, and his contingency plans also covered all these.

“It seems the Rivaldo patriarch is really angered. He even used his influence to access the Ratliff satellite, that is not made available to soldiers”. He muttered with a chuckle, as with Emily’s help, he brought out a large device from his bag.

He knew that their pursuers were using the advanced functions of the satellite to search for them because he could see the soldiers slowly converging to their location, despite the countermeasures he took against satellite tracking.

Well, he didn’t care as he prepared a real surprise for them this time. After carefully placing the device down, his face involuntarily turned into a smirk.

Apart from the devices and equipment that were given to him as rewards, this was the most expensive device that he had bought using his own money, to date.

This large and seemingly unwieldy device was a safe energy discharge over loader, that can be used on any type of weapon as far as it was made using exotic materials.

It cost him a whopping 500,000 Spartan credits to get this, which is a completely outrageous price for one device. It may seem expensive for a device of such a size, but what was packed in it was more outrageous than its price.

After his battle experience in the sea with the exobeast wielding 4th rank strength in the military research base, he learned a lot of new battle techniques from it that were very practical.

The main reason why Captain Oxford was able to kill it, was because he overloaded his 2-form gun with energy and wasted it all on its thick skin to grant his captain a chance.

This technological device utilized the same logic in its creation. He knew of it before, but he understood its importance only after that battle experience. So he bought it immediately online, on getting back to the Spartan republic.

As this was the main deal unlike his hasty jury-rigged efforts, it was far more practical.

It could overload any weapon with energy to enable it to perform above its original parameters, while at the same time protecting it from breaking down. Its 2nd ability was the only reason that made it cost-effective.

The only downside was that energy would naturally be consumed faster, but he was prepared. This was basically burning energy, which was indirectly burning money to achieve a better result.

After setting it down, he brought out energy shields from his bag which he gave to Emily to erect at their front.

After doing this, he finally started working on connecting his 2-form gun to this outrageous device. After more than a minute of working it, he finally connected them with the discharge wires.

This was all the preparations that he made for any unexpected complications in this current battle, and he trusted this device to pull him through.

“All you have to do now is calm down, rest, and watch as I pull you both to safety”. He finally turned to speak to the sisters with a grin on his face like a kid who was trying out his new toy. After this, he finally concentrated.

He didn’t have to wait long again as with the sound like that of an animal stampede, the soldiers emerged neatly in formation, unlike the previous cannon fodder soldiers.

The heavily armored cars followed, representing the convoy from behind as one of the cars stood out glaringly. An extremely furious voice was suddenly amplified from this specific car.

“Foreign soldier, you dare kill my son. Wait t…”

“Sniper”. Clark did not allow this man to finish blabbering out his nonsense, as he configured his gun and immediately started the battle.

Boom!! The voice was suddenly silenced by the louder gunshot sound, as one of the first group of soldiers neatly leading the charge suffered the brunt of the damage.

Blood sprinkled down like a shower of rain as 5 of the soldiers died immediately, while dozens of others in that group suffered from the brunt of the damage.

Boom!! Boom!! Boom!! The soldiers were startled as they originally thought that their targets stopped because they already surrendered. But their reasoning was clearly flawed, as bright beam after bright beam clawed deeply into their ranks.

This aggressive attack seemed to lit a fuse, as the Ratliff soldiers also counterattacked from all sides. They already surrounded this area, so the counterattack was from every direction.

Bright blue and red beams Crisscrossed in the battlefield, as one side lost dozens of soldiers every shot while the more modest side hid safely behind a sturdy looking energy shield.

As this country refused to upgrade its technological skill, Clark was ready to exploit this advantage to the fullest.

Seeing the battle situation, the Rivaldo Patriarch calmly withdrew back into his safer car as he gave orders from there. Even if he was angry at his son’s death, he would not avenge him by giving his life up also. That was foolishness to him.

Due to the technological advantage, this battle that originally seemed like just a practice session for the pursuers took an awkward and dangerous turn.

With his implant’s help, Clark’s aim was impeccable as soldier after soldier died to the might of his big pocket. This time, he was not utilizing skill.

“Let the one with the deepest pocket win. But I know you’re richer than I am, but I have stronger gadgets and devices”. With this reasoning, he reaped lives like vegetables from the battlefield.

Despite his seemingly good situation, the now furious Ratliff soldiers were slowly gaining the advantage back. Like he said, the energy consumption of this device was outrageous.

“Emily, prepare yourself to enter my car”. He finally called out to the 2 sisters, as a faint zooming sound started emerging in the battlefield before quickly growing louder.

Before the Ratliff soldiers could comprehend what was going on, an enormous strange-looking armored car suddenly entered the battlefield with outrageous speed.

They were shocked, but this was just the start as gun muzzles suddenly appeared out of the sides of the car.

Tu! Tu! Tu! Tu! Bullets rained down in the thousands, as hundreds of soldiers died from the initial volley alone.

No armor could withstand the force of the bullets, not even the armored cars as they also exploded, forming a short brilliant explosive scene like fireworks, but the destructive kind.

“Which demon is this? Who did I offend?” The Rivaldo patriarch was shocked speechless on seeing this, as his unique car suddenly felt like something from the slums in comparison to this.
