These Sangvis Ferri units which lacked direct command from elite dolls quickly fell into the trap set by Gentiane, turning the encounter into an ambush.
The group of Sangvis Ferri droids hardly put up any effective resistance and were quickly wiped out by M4A1 and others.
"Most of the weapons held by the dolls are all antiques from fifty years ago..."
As a large number of Sangvis Ferri dolls fell, Gentiane explained to M4A1.
"I'm not standing in front of the command post just to watch them become wreckage. Although dolls won't die as easily as fragile humans, I still hope you all can come back unscathed, especially you, M4."
After saying this, Gentiane also relaxed in her heart.
It's over. Finally, she could rest. It's not suitable for her to stay up late like this at night.
"As for the matter of the battle report..."
"Dolls may indeed not be as fragile as humans, but they can still die, and some of the weapons in the hands of your dolls are antiques from hundreds of years ago, right?"
Just as Gentiane was about to delegate the task of writing the battle report to Kalina, a man's voice suddenly sounded abruptly from the communication channel!
"Who!?" Hearing this unfamiliar voice, Gentiane suddenly felt a creepy feeling.
Did someone just listen to all her battle and command orders?
"It's me, Renault. I happened to see your squad over there and thought your dolls could help with a little favor."
"Saw? And how did you recognize that they are my dolls?" Upon hearing Renault's introduction, Gentiane suddenly came to her senses.
Who else could it be if not Renault? He sounded unfamiliar just because Renault wasn't one to talk much.
"M4A1, I saw that her. These small matters aren't important. There's a problem with one of the power transmission lines on my end. Can you send a few dolls to the substation in that city to check the situation? If they can fix it, great, if not, I'll figure something out."
Upon hearing Renault's words, Gentiane clicked her tongue in annoyance. She was already ready to call it a night's work, and now suddenly Renault shows up... Was he intentionally trying to ruin her sleep?
"Alright, but is there any compensation?"
Just checking the condition of the substation isn't a big deal, and for dolls, it might not even take ten minutes.
Still, Gentiane grinned and asked Renault.
Doing unpaid work like this is not acceptable. It's already her off-duty time, and there's no overtime pay. Renault suddenly showing up... maybe she can get something from him!
"Alright, wipe that scary smile off your face. There's definitely no money, but there were quite a few things you bought over last time that might be of use to you. I'll bring some over another day."
"Hehe! How can that be possible!"
It sounds like an excuse, but in reality, Gentiane's tone was not the least bit embarrassed. "Third squad! Immediately proceed to the substation! Check the condition of the lines!"
"Roger!"
...
"Is that it? Will Griffin's commander really help?" Upon hearing the voice coming from Renault's phone loudspeaker, Old man Voula couldn't help but ask in doubt.
After all, that's the commander of Griffin. When he first came here, he also wanted the people from Griffin to help, but Griffin's asking price was too high. The funds he had left were far from enough to hire Griffin's commander to help.
In the end, he could only find a small private security contractor.
However, shortly after the communication in this area was blocked, those security contractors, under the guise of going out for help, never returned.
It's unclear whether they were killed by Sangvis or simply ran away.
"It should be fine. At least we're acquaintances, so they should help with this small favor. Even if they don't help, it doesn't matter much; it's just a wait of ten more minutes."
Old man Voula's Military Fort, where he's stationed, is not far from the city, otherwise, they wouldn't have been unable to open the gate due to the malfunction of the city's substation.
"Oh, that's good, that's good!" Hearing Renault's words, Old man Voula also breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank goodness you guys came; otherwise, I might have been trapped here forever. Thank you so much!"
"If you want to thank someone, thank Mrs Graven. She's the one who called us."
"Mrs. Graven? Uh, I guessed it was her, but rest assured, she entrusted us with making those devices, and they're all finished. We just need to open the gate to move them! If Sangvis doesn't stop us on our way back..." Old man Voula suddenly realized, then pointed to the warehouse below, full of confidence. However, towards the end, he became a bit unsure.
This is already Sangvis's actual control area. How could those Sangviss not intervene when they see humans?
"Of course not. Although Hunter likes to set traps, she won't harm ordinary human civilians. Besides, all the equipment here is useless for battle, and Sangvis's Agent won't just come knocking for no reason." Executioner spoke up.
Hearing Executioner speak up, Old man Voula was also a bit surprised.
Aren't all of them, besides Renault, dolls? Normal tactical dolls wouldn't talk to the other side without their commander's permission, especially during negotiations or situations like this.
But obviously, Executioner and those tactical dolls he's seen before are very different, and the meaning of his words... why does it feel like she's trying to absolve Sangvis?
"Who's this?" Looking at the Executioner carrying a war blade, Old man Voula was obviously unsure whether she was a doll or a human.
To be precise, he's now somewhat unsure if the people in front of him are tactical dolls. From the outside, there's no trace of dolls' seams and ports anymore, and their expressions and movements during action are clearly very different from the service dolls he brought to help with work.
"Executioner, elite dolls made by Sangvis, well, they were."
What!? Hearing this, Old man Voula was shocked and jumped backward!
Meanwhile, Renault was examining the gate at the entrance of the Fort.
It's quite sturdy, but unfortunately, it's done once the power's out. It can be manually opened, but Old man Voula and his two service dolls obviously don't have the strength for that.
