Chapter 944 - 222: The Storm Sweeping the World, the Collapse of Barriers (Part 2)

[Lille: They say that order is the price of peace, they say that compliance is the foundation of civilization.]

[Lille: They say to live quietly, don’t ask questions, don’t doubt, bury your head in hard work, repeat every day as arranged...]

[Lille: They say this is the secret to forging greatness.]

Boom!

The second round of bombings appeared almost simultaneously in major cities, the scene of ground-penetrating bombs breaking through government buildings, overwhelmingly spectacular.

The Europa Tower was hit in the waist by two ground-penetrating bombs, an explosion in the heart of the Imperial, dazzling beyond compare.

Amidst the thick dark clouds, lightning flickers, the howling gale, fighter jets dive into the sky - bombing is just a simple operation; pilots of the European Union must grapple with the storm.

But how does a fighter jet combat a storm? This is merely a spirit of sacrifice, a spirit loved by the Golden Sons.

The explosion disrupted enhanced signals, Lille’s image flickered slightly, large areas of the city went dark, darkness descended, as the burning government building appeared as a torch.

Behind them, the factory emitted clanging roars, the workers stood rooted, before them was a burning torch, in their hearts lay the exposed truth, at their ears, words striking the soul.

Clang!

Jilafa Type 3 gradually stood up, workers tore off all the cables, a modified bionic combat robot charged into the crossfire zone.

[Lille: But what has greatness given you? What do you own? A paycheck without substance, balances never enough to maintain your prosthetics, debts without end...]

[Lille: Or is it those cheap entertainments? Filled every day by electronic toys, then satisfied to sleep?]

[Lille: Is this the greatness you recognize?]

In the factory, exoskeletons previously used for dangerous tasks were activated —

Through amplified signals, the adaptive functions from Munemasa were unlocked and uploaded to the server.

Industrial exoskeletons are not nimble, only possessing powerful energy output, supporting workers to stand in the harshest environments, burning the last drop of blood...

Just like now.

The worker inside the exoskeleton swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

Bang!

A comrade welded heavy industrial steel plates, not part of the design specifications, onto him, arms loaded with excess fuel and welding machines.

Roaring from the power room, the helmet slowly closed.

[Lille: Crush your bones and flesh, the gilded dome uplifted into a dazzling illusion, your labor turned into their power, your dreams into their entertainment, your future... it simply doesn’t exist.]

"Ready?"

A massive industrial hammer was placed in the worker’s hand, and the other arm held a large transparent material shield.

A comrade’s voice recalled his consciousness, he nodded: "Damn it!"

Boom boom!

Another worker patted his armor from behind: "It’s done!"

Hearing this, the exoskeleton slowly stood up, behind his armor was painted a giant metal hammer, gripping the handle was a burger filled with details.

"The forging worker is here to crush your sharpness today..."

"They’ve broken in!!!!"

Boom!

A rocket launcher breached the factory’s outer wall, a massive combat mecha stormed in through the breach!

Per counter-terrorism tactics, the mecha should directly charge to the front, after breaking in, a frenzied sweep of fire!

In the smoke, the company could only see the mecha rushing in, then barely two more gunshots were heard before a deafening boom!

When the dust cleared, the mecha was seen twisted and deformed by a retrofitted rocket hammer used for forging carrier-grade alloys!

[Lille: But I’m not here to teach you how to hate them.]

[Lille: I’m just here to remind you what you once were.]

[Lille: It was people holding hammers who laid the groundwork, those driving sowing machines who sowed seeds, those courageous who pioneered the future, those laboring who forged the world!]

[Lille: They simply cannot defeat you, so they can only usurp victories; they fear you deeply, so they can only fabricate lies; they have no future, thus they must steal yours!]

"RPG—"

Rocket launcher robots lying in wait fired with full salvo, unimaginably dense rockets came crashing down!

For long, the belief that military is military, civilian is civilian left these European Union armies unable to fathom how this group of bumpkins contended with a legitimate steamrolling—

The workers originally didn’t know either, but Munemasa knew, in his eyes, technology is technology!

"Shield mesh!"

With the workers’ anticipation and excitement, the modified industrial high-frequency jet system sprayed a high-pressure liquid stream mixed with solid powder, so dense that it even appeared as a mist!

A high-speed jet flow capable of effortlessly slicing through flesh!

Boom!

The rockets all exploded in the air, with a few scattering and crashing into other areas of the factory, leaving the army in a daze —

What kind of anti-air system is this?!

But they lacked time to ponder: strange objects launched from the smoke and attached themselves to the armored vehicles, mechs, and soldiers of the army.

What is this?

The military combat system never catalogues civilian equipment, or rather doesn’t react instantaneously—

"Haha, eat shit!"

Boom!

The terrifying explosion matched the cluster of rockets blow for blow...

These were demolition-worthy adhesive explosives!

Dust scattered, revealing the battered factory, many workers already lying on the ground, grenades and shrapnel having collapsed a majority of the factory buildings but they would not succumb—

The European Union could not possibly have enough military force to attack their own factory—

Euros are the most common, as well as the world’s chosen currency, supported by powerful military force and world-leading industrial strength...

Now these two things are at war!

The engineering mech shielded itself and steadily walked out of the factory.

"We can win!"

"Ejection module!"

Boom!

The factory seemed equipped with a cannon, the projectile flew straight towards Europa Tower —

From all directions in Berlin, projectiles flew straight towards Europa Tower.

[Lille: Today, there are no unnumbered laborers, no crushed bones and flesh, no silence, the hands wielding hammers and harvesters shall surely grasp weapons, ignite the engines of progress, reconnect the stolen past, retrieve our present—]

[Lille: We will fight in the factories, in the CBD, on the borderline, in every place where our brothers and sisters are, and if necessary, we will destroy every greatness they refuse to return, and then rebuild the true wonders that belong to us on the ruins!]

[Lille: We are not shadows of machines, but flames of freedom—]

Whoosh!

At the top of Europa Tower, only one fighter plane remained through battling winds, deploying the last ground-penetrating bomb in the air—

Thunder!

The plane failed to ascend, perhaps influenced by lightning, or affected by strong winds and heavy rain, suddenly losing control and crashing towards the tower—

The plane and bomb simultaneously struck the tower!

The bomb hit directly at Europa Tower’s stress point, collapse like a domino cascade was unavoidable.

The tower gradually tilted, collapsing downward, the sturdy steel structure emitted a piercing wail, spreading across Berlin, communication signals began to weaken within the Worker’s Union...

But never disappear.

[Lille: We will fight to the end.]
