Chapter 775 How did they [2/2]
I tend to forget that Reapers hardly aged. So I failed to give a crap about anyone's ages. With a 15-year age gap that was enough to be an issue to humans. Hopefully Wil and Tildi find common ground soon.
As someone who knew how good it was to be in love, I wished for everyone to experience the same bliss I did. Most of the girls and I had age differences, but it remained in the single digits.

Among the Sirens, Liv, Lilly and Aki were older than me. Bella was the only Siren who was the same age. While Jo, Jas and Robyn were all younger than me.
I was unsure how it was for other couples, but my girls despite having strong personalities never babied me. While some would find it affectionate, to me it was insulting. Well, my girls were not perfect as they were a bit obsessive and aggressive, but they followed my will for the most part.
I tried to play cupid for them once, but they needed to figure out their shit on their own. While I was Tildi and Will's boss, I didn't want to involve myself in their affairs. Especially not in the matters of love. If this went badly, I could lose two competent clerks which was something that would definitely not help at this point.
'Exa, if you can please try and help them get together.'
[I understand.]
With the Sirens not on this floor, I ended up spending the next 30 minutes trying to convince Tildi that she and Will were perfect together. It was funny that I grew more stressed trying to calm her down than the fight I would be having soon.

"Ugh, she finally let me go," I murmured in exhaustion.
"My lord, are you alright?" Asked Gareth.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Let's just get this over with.'
My forces were gathered outside our walls. Arranged in orderly lines where 500 of my Phantoms along with a lot of military grade hardware.
[Henry, Alfonso, Sabel, can you three take command of the Soulless? Once the battle begins, I will relay my command through Exa.]
[Yes, Father!] x3
[Thank you, my children.]
"Exa, tell Isthar's Bloodline to begin."
[Yes, my lord.]
At Exa's confirmation, Addison, Cynthia and Tildi all began to open large {Portals}. On the other side was the lands past Robyn's pitfall traps. From where we stood, I could feel the soul signatures of over a thousand Reapers.@@novelbin@@
Joshua turned towards me, waiting for my words. Once my army enters these doorways, we would begin an all-out war for supremacy with South America. I nodded towards him as I roared.
"Alright! Hellsend! Move out!"
After I gave the directive, Joshua began segueing commands like a field general. Our people marched in a tight rank that exuded discipline and elegance. I grew in awe at the amount of training Joshua and the rest of the squad leaders put in for such a result.
Eventually we all passed through and stood face to face with the South American army. They too reorganized their battle lines. The placement of the Champions seems to indicate they opted for a full-frontal assault.
'Hmm. Didn't they see that such tactics didn't work? Or do they have a way to somehow come in close?'
When our army took its positions, I scanned our enemies and saw Carlos and Herman at the forefront. I blinked to the front of the Hellsend army to meet them.
"Ready to get your asses whooped?"
"I wouldn't be so sure Limitless. Plenty of factors have changed. You no longer have any of your wives for one. That is not even counting the fact that the walls or pitfall traps that protect your forces before are also not here," Herman replied.
"I guess, we shall see then. Do not make me regret my decision from earlier you two. Give me a good battle."
"Hahaha, truly one born to be a Death seeker. Do not worry, with my mind at ease and our souls lighter than ever we will not disappoint," Carlos declared with a chuckle.
"Alright then. CSS: Jas, [Overdrive] [Sniper]. Load Red rounds. {Day by Day}. [Shared Armory]. [Inventory] Burger.
Fries."
"Wait! This a leaders meeting! Why are you not retreating back to your army? You are alone!"
"Limitless, our Champions will trample over you before your men can form a battle line around you!"
Having all my armaments locked and loaded, my UGVs and seven bodies aimed at the two Specters in front of me.
"You two talk too much. Who said I needed any of them?"
"LIMITLESS! YOU…" "HERMAN!!!"
"DIE!" I roared!
I began unloading all my ammunition at the two. Along with my thunderous gunfire, I heard the screams from both sides of the battlefield.
"HELLSEND! PROTECT OUR LORD! OPEN COMBAT!"
"FOR GLORY! FOR HONOR! FOR FREEDOM! ONWARDS MY SOLDIERS!!!"
Despite the ground shaking from the sudden movement of thousands of beings, my eyes remained glued to my targets. Carlos the Inca Warrior leapt towards his ally. With Jas' combat clairvoyance, I saw his movement ahead of time. But I couldn't stop him.
Covering for Herman, Carlos crossed his arms in front of his body. Soul surged from him and suddenly manifested a crown on his head. Ghosts reminiscent of his appearance stood between us like a wall. And every single round I shot was blocked by this wall.
"Unbelievable," I complained.
Even though I jumped the gun, Carlos acted way too fast and protected Herman. Shielded from my barrage, Herman's voice roared to the skies amidst the gunfire.
"{CONQUEST}!"
With a single command, a large army suddenly appeared around them. Conquistadors armed with pikes and crossbows appeared in orderly rows. While they looked human, they lacked any expressions and moved like dolls.
Several of those with crossbows took aimed and fired! Only for Burger and Fries to use their bodies to block the projectiles. Fries immediately burst into flames as the soul powered bolts tore it apart. Burger although heavily damaged turned its turret to rain lead on the Specter's Champions
I moved to reposition my bodies as we leapt over the UGV's remains. Through the short time my avatars and I ceased firing, sounds of combat filled the air.
"TRISTAN!"
"No sweat, sugar! WYVERN AIR WING! TAKE THEM DOWN!"
Up in the skies, the sounds of massive beasts fighting made the skies tremble. Wyverns bit and clawed the flying Champions trying to attack me. Not used to fighting with their bodies the Reapers riding the beasts were helplessly shot by Mike and his men.
"SQUAK!" "NO!!!!" "AHHH!"
"Cowards! Fight us fairly!"
"But why?"
Through their straightforward tactics the Hellsend Wyvern Air Wing held back a force many times their size. It got so bad; the Champions no longer tried to approach me but instead began shooting projectiles. But even that tactic didn't last long.
[Squad leader Mike, please allow my drones to assist! They are all loaded with Red munitions please have your people steer clear of them.]
The screaming engines of hundreds of Switchblades soared towards the remaining fliers. Like missiles fired from a carrier, they swarmed and detonated on the Reapers of the South American fliers. Sabel's surgical strikes terminated the enemy's air force with extreme prejudice.
Meanwhile on the ground, Herman's Champions began to advance while shooting bolts at my avatars. The pikemen and crossbowmen advanced covering each other.
"Shit, Exa, get me air support!"
Using the broken hulls of my UGV's I took cover. I was about to have Sunday attack when my son's voice declared his arrival in a cool manner.
[Father, this is Henry, the Mangusta air wing has arrived. Eliminating the enemy. Alfonso and the rest of the army will arrive in the next 5 minutes.]
Along with his words, four helicopters took aim and began unloading all their munitions towards Herman's conquistadors. They all loitered in the air as they unloaded their 20mm cannons as well as their entire ordinance.
Each Magusta had four hard points for weapons. Blanche for some reason fitted the ones she gave us with four M261 rocket pods, each rocket pod housed seven 70mm rockets. This mean that these helicopter gunships had no air-to-air capabilities, but each had 28 rockets for ground harassment.
Thus, Henry's single air wing had over a hundred warheads at its disposal. And as my son had no mercy, he did exactly just that. I couldn't even move forward as 112 Hydra 70 unguided rockets blasted the living hell out of the Conquistadors.
I could not help but feel my adrenaline spike at the carnage the helicopter gunships unleashed. In the short time they completed their salvo, the ground forces met each other and began unleashing hell upon one another.
In the chaos, I raced out of my cover and began to shoot at the Specters.
"HAHAHA! NOW THIS IS A REAL BATTLE! COME AT ME!"
