"Lancer, you must be careful this time. Unlike the 11th ward siege, which tried to reduce the number of ordinary CCG investigators, this time Aogiri Tree's goal is clearly to release those powerful and evil ghouls. We can't even be sure how many trump cards they have hidden away, so you must be careful! Be even more careful!"
Because of Lancer later actions, Kureo Mado mobilization meeting had already ended, so on the way to the 23rd ward, he did not forget to warn Lancer again.
And Lancer naturally took the other person's warnings to heart, because he knew better than anyone how terrifying the enemy was this time. Even if the ghouls in 'Cochlea' were not released, there were already plenty of powerful ghouls under Aogiri Tree.
Whether the leader, 'Eto' or the 'One-Eyed Owl,' would take action was up for debate, but at least there was Tatara, who was at least SS-rank, possibly SSS-rank, and had a 'Kakuja' form. Then there was Noro, who was also at least SS-rank, possibly SSS-rank, and had a 'Kakuja' form. These two alone were enough for the CCG to have a hard time. To hunt them down, unless they had a 'protagonist halo' and a plot kill, they would need at least several Special Class Investigators.
Besides them, there was also Ayato Kirishima, who was S-rank, Naki, the successor of 'Jason's' 'White Suits,' and the leader of the Blades, Miza...
It was no exaggeration to say that in terms of high-level combat power alone, Aogiri Tree already had more than double the number of investigators stationed at 'Cochlea.' If Lancer hadn't successfully prevented the personnel reduction in the 11th ward before, the defense force of 'Cochlea' alone would have probably been breached in no time.
And now, although the personnel loss was severe, the core area was at least still in an intense battle. The warden, who did not become careless like in the original timeline because of Lancer 'report,' was being suppressed by Tatara, but at least he survived.
And with the support of Special Class Investigator Yukinori Shinohara and Juuzou Suzuya, the battle line was also gradually stabilizing.
But this balance was too fragile. In terms of stamina, humans and ghouls were still a world apart. No one knew how long 'Cochlea' could hold out.
"Amon, later, you and Lancer, along with a few other First Class Investigators, will form an assault team. I require you to rush to the core area to support the warden and Special Class Investigator Haizaki!"
"Yes!" X 2
Koutarou Amon mood was a bit gloomy at this moment. As expected, those people probably intended to release his 'foster father,' but he would absolutely not allow those Aogiri Tree ghouls to do that!
And when the reinforcement convoy led by Kureo Mado arrived at 'Cochlea,' they finally knew how tragic this battle was. The corpses of ghouls and CCG investigators were almost laid out on the ground in pairs, and the area around the main gate was even more tragic, with the corpses of investigators and ghouls piled up there...
"Proceed as planned! The assault team will support the core area! The rest of you will sweep up the ordinary ghouls in 'Cochlea' with me!"
"Yes!!"
After saying that, Kureo Mado nodded to his two disciples and his daughter and then led the team to attack without hesitation. And Lancer and the others also nodded in the same way and rushed towards another passage.
"Amon! The usual. If you encounter a difficult opponent, you are responsible for holding off the enemy, and I will be responsible for the one-hit kill. As for Second Class Mado and the rest... please be responsible for guerrilla warfare and support."
"Yes!"
Although Koutarou Amon was much more senior than Lancer, because of his personality, the more aggressive Lancer usually served as the commander, and this time was no different.
Although a basic offensive tactic was arranged, there were basically no difficult opponents along the way from the main gate to the core area. At most, there were a few patrol teams made up of ghouls, but they were nothing more than free food for this assault team, whose average strength was First Class. No team could hold out for more than 1 minute.
However, when everyone arrived at the core area, which was the private prison for high-level ghouls, something unexpected happened.
The gate to the 'core area' had been sealed, and dozens of ghouls were glaring at them, with several members of the 'White Suits' among them.
"It's you!! You're the bastard who killed 'Big Brother'!!"
And just as Lancer and the others were observing the enemy, a yellow-haired person in a white suit suddenly pointed at Lancer and started shouting like a madman.
To be honest, with the yellow hair, the neuroticism, and the white suit, Lancer recognized the other person's identity at a glance, but unfortunately, before Lancer could even speak, the guy rushed towards Lancer like a madman.
Why was he acting crazy?
His 'wailing' and the mixture of tears and saliva made it clear that this guy was mentally unstable.
But no matter how abnormal this guy was, the people of Aogiri Tree couldn't just watch him die. Almost at the same moment Naki made his move, the other members of Aogiri Tree also took action one after another.
"Fire!!"
This time, Lancer did not charge in directly. Instead, he gave the order and took out his 'weapon' from his arms —————— the 'Beretta Submachine Pistol.'
Indeed, with Lancer strength, he could go crazy with these ordinary ghouls who didn't have an SS-rank ghoul to back them up, but the problem was that this time, his identity was not a 'soldier' but a 'commander.'
'Lancer, your strength is very strong, but you have never had any experience in commanding a team. There's no point in saying too much. You have to remember one thing —————— the biggest difference between us and ghouls is 'tools'.'
As Lancer gave the order, everyone, including Koutarou Amon, pulled their triggers without hesitation. Because this battle was basically 'close-quarters combat,' everyone was equipped with submachine guns or pistols. The advantage of these types of firearms was their rapid rate of fire, but their disadvantages were their killing power and accuracy. However, when being surrounded, these were not a problem.
After all, the killing power of RC ammunition against ghouls was not entirely determined by the caliber, and the enemy was all in front of them. As long as they weren't shooting at the sky, it was impossible to miss.
"Ahhh!!"
In just a few seconds, all the bullets in everyone's guns were emptied. Nearly ten ghouls were killed or temporarily lost their combat ability, and they did not bother to change their magazines. Instead, they threw their guns away and opened their boxes.
Lancer was even faster than them, because he didn't put away his weapon at all. Instead, he pRushd his spear into the ground.
When the gunshots behind him stopped, he knew it was time for him to take action. He had chosen to shoot with them before so as not to affect the group's actions (concentrated fire). Now, his job was to be the 'spearhead,' and this was his most important job.
He raised his spear high and slammed it down, directly crushing a ghoul who had rushed forward too quickly. The sound of bones and metal colliding was incredibly harsh, and Lancer did not show any mercy as he fiercely stabbed downward, directly piercing the guy's heart and then picking him up and throwing him forward.
Although this corpse couldn't completely block the ghouls' sight, it was enough for Lancer.
"Secret Technique · Fishman Triple Thrust!"
Accompanied by Lancer low shout, his entire being instantly disappeared. Both allies and enemies couldn't find a trace of Lancer.
"Over there!!!"
It wasn't until a ghoul's shout that everyone followed his finger and saw Lancer. At this moment, he was slightly bent over, with one hand on his spear, and his body was lowered almost to the ground.
"Bang~!"
At this moment, the sound of the corpse hitting the ground gradually came over, and along with the sound of the corpse, three other ghouls also fell, and as they fell, blood covered the ground...
"Kill them all ————!!"
With a swing of his spear, blood was splattered, and the investigators who had been 'stalled' by Lancer surprise attack erupted with an astonishing aura!
"Ooh!!"
