Even a large-caliber firearm, let alone a handgun, could pose a threat to a Nen User.
Under equal circumstances, only Enhancers and Emitters could withstand damage from powerful firearms by dispersing their Aura with Ken to cover their entire body.
Other types of Nen Users would need to rely on Ko technique, focusing their aura on a specific spot to create a defense strong enough to neutralize the force of the weapon.
Therefore-
Since this army stationed at the tomb excavation site possessed enough strength to overrun a city, it could easily wipe out a team of Nen Users as well.
This is the power of a national force.
However, the premise of an army defeating a team of Nen Users is that they must engage in direct combat.
However, no matter how arrogant the Erimo Bandit Group was, they wouldn't be foolish enough to confront an army head-on.
One of the members of the Erimo Bandit Group directly used their Manipulation-Type Ability to take control of a tank operator, igniting chaos in an instant.
And this is just the beginning!
Ordinary people stood no chance against a Manipulation-Type Ability, even elite soldiers with great willpower were helpless.
Within less than ten seconds after the first tank shell exploded in the military camp, another tank fired at the camp.
These tanks were originally the strongest walls standing in front of the military camp.
These tanks, which had stood as the most impenetrable walls of defense for the soldiers, suddenly turned inward, collapsing as if boulders had fallen into a calm lake, stirring up waves of chaos.
Boom-!
The controlled tanks relentlessly unleashed firepower onto the camp.
One by one, soldiers were blown to pieces by the shells. Tents caught in the blasts erupted into flames, blazing amidst the wind and rain.
The sudden betrayal of the tanks left the soldiers nearby stunned and completely clueless as to what was happening.
After receiving the information that the tanks had gone rogue, General Danny immediately gave the order to destroy the tanks without hesitation.
As for who the 'traitor' sitting in the tank was, he didn't care at all.
"They must have been controlled by a Manipulation-Type Ability..."
After Moses learned about the situation, he could basically guess what was going on.
Steel monsters like tanks with fierce firepower are indeed no match for a strong Manipulation-Type Ability. And once controlled, it became a tremendous threat to its own side.
With that in mind, Moses glanced at Ida.
'This Muscular Barbie officer is a Nen User, so she too should have been able to discern the situation.'
Just as Moses looked at Ida, the latter took a step forward and said solemnly: "General Danny..."
"Go ahead."
General Danny agreed promptly without waiting for Ida to finish speaking.
Although he is not a Nen User, he is still familiar with 'supernatural phenomena'.
In fact, in the eyes of the public, Nen Users were often seen as 'superhumans', 'psychics', 'sorcerers', or even 'hidden masters'.
General Danny had a basic understanding of these concepts.
While he firmly believed in the principle of 'truth within range', he also accepted, at times, the idea that 'only magic can defeat magic'.
With General Danny's approval, Ida immediately left the tent and ran towards the location of the tanks.
Faced with the potential threat of 'the enemy will take control of more tanks', Ida needs to race against time to clamp or eliminate the unknown Manipulator.
With Ida's departure, Moses couldn't just sit here and watch. Before General Danny could look in his direction, Moses spoke up, "Give us three sets of military uniforms."
"Oh?"
General Danny raised an eyebrow and looked toward Moses, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.
Moses's initiative saved the general the trouble of asking.
General Danny gestured to a soldier standing nearby. The latter understood and quickly left the tent to retrieve the military uniforms for Moses and the other two.
"We still don't know who the attackers are."
After watching his subordinate leave the tent, General Danny turned his gaze and looked at Moses again, saying, "But I've never doubted the intelligence you provided, Spider Slayer."
"…"
Moses remained calm.
It was clear that the general had already concluded that the culprits behind the chaos were the Erimo Bandit Group.
As for his reasoning-
It wasn't just because of the intelligence Moses had provided, but also because of the timing of the other party's action, which was exactly when the excavation team was transporting crates out of the tomb.
In truth, Moses also understood...
Regardless of who the attackers were, given the unusual circumstances of the tank operators' sudden betrayal, the general would pin the blame on the Erimo Bandit Group to justify utilizing Moses's abilities.
General Danny squinted his eyes slightly, positioned himself as the one making the request, and said solemnly: "I'm counting on you."
"I'm just a new Blacklist Hunter, so don't expect too much from me."
Moses responded calmly, meeting the general's gaze.
The underlying meaning was clear: If the attackers weren't from the Erimo Bandit Group, then don't expect him to be a scapegoat for the military.
General Danny understood.
Before he could reply, the soldier who had left earlier came back with three sets of military uniforms, moving very quickly.
Moses took the uniforms and turned to leave.
Menchi and Shizuku, who had remained silent throughout, followed Moses as soon as they saw him grab the uniforms.
General Danny watched Moses and his team depart with unreadable expression.
As soon as Moses and his team disappeared from sight, General Danny took the earpiece handed to him by his subordinate and put it on.
Moments later, a look of solemnity gradually spread across his face.
If it were any other general, after hearing the news that a fat and tall man was swinging a chain and iron ball to smash one of their tanks, they might not have looked as solemn as General Danny did. Of course, he wasn't an exception. Even if General Danny didn't lose his composure, he certainly couldn't remain entirely calm.
"Damn it."
General Danny muttered with a frown.
The battle reports coming through his earpiece one after another felt as if the enemy was flaunting their extraordinary strength to him.
Despite this, General Danny still firmly believed that his army could deal with this group of extraordinary attackers, though he could already foresee the heavy losses they would suffer.
This was already an inevitable outcome.
If there is a glimmer of hope...
It was the possibility that these attackers were indeed the Erimo Bandit Group.
That way, at least, he could count on the Spider Slayer to significantly reduce the army's losses.
