What Do You Mean I'm The Captain Of A Yandere Mercenary Company?

Chapter 372: I Did Say Weʼre Killing Everyone

”Theyʼre even using a mech like this inside their base? Are they not afraid of destroying it?” I asked, looking at the crushed remains of the mech.

”Most likely they saw that Mara was a Psionic and they knew if they didnʼt take any drastic measures, they would lose this base anyway,” Amber suggested.

The person in question frowned, ”They might have more surprises inside, Captain. I cannot guarantee that I will be able to deal with everything as easily as we thought.”

I nodded, ”That just means we need to be more careful then. But what are the chances they have another mech like this? Ries? You said this was a construction mech?”

The Maochatte jumped slightly from hearing her name but nodded quickly, ”Yes! The T-Seven Construction Mech made by Artoka Heavy Industries! Itʼs quite widely used in the outer colonies since the arms can be easily modified with a variety of tools but… Well… Itʼs popular with pirates and other criminals too because itʼs basically a cheaper Power Armour without the shield, firepower and mobility of one. And I guess it could be arguably more intimidating because of its size.”

”So is it expensive on its own?” I asked, thinking that we just missed out on a chance to cash in on something big.

She waved her hand in front of her, ”Oh no, no. The mech itself is not expensive. You could probably get one for like… Maybe a few hundred thousand Credits? Depending on what model it is and where you buy it from of course. Itʼs the modification that might cost a lot. And this one was only basically given a shoulder mounted heavy cannon.”

Right… But thatʼs still a few hundred thousand Credits we could earn though…

As if reading my thoughts, Ries quickly added, ”Umm… Just saying Boss… I donʼt think we can transport this back to the ship anyway… Seeing that there was only one small entrance, I think this mech was already in this factory and the thugs just took control of it and modified it as a defense system instead of bringing this in from the outside. So the likelihood of them having another one of these is quite low.”

Ah… I guess thatʼs true… I certainly wouldnʼt want to dismantle the entire thing just to bring the parts through the door one by one then assemble it again in my ship…

I looked in the direction of where the mech came from and found a large double door that I assumed was where it had come from.

Right now it was shut tight and since the mech had so helpfully cleared the path to it by breaking down the shelves, we headed straight towards it.

The door remained shut even with us walking up to it.

Guess they must have locked it then.

No matter~ Let me just bring out my Codex and connect to it and… There we go~

There was a loud grinding sound as the locks for the doors slid open before the door halves separated with a loud hiss.

All of us took cover at the side of the doorframe, just in case they had their guns aimed at the door.

When it finally opened up, we found a group of thugs in the midst of moving boxes around, presumably to make a barricade to hide behind.

They most likely did not expect the mech to be killed this quickly and thought they would at least have some time to set up some defenses in case the mech lost.

It seems like this was a hallway that connected to the deeper parts of the factory though I did spot several doors along the sides of the corridor, which I was unsure where they led to at the moment.

All the thugs were thus looking in our direction with dumbfounded expressions on their faces while they froze in the mid movement.

One of them dropped the box he was holding and that was the signal for chaos to start.

I fired the first shot, blasting the thug that dropped the box back to crash into the makeshift barricade.

The rest of the girls also opened fire, lighting the corridor up.

The thugs who could not react in time ended up getting filled with bullet holes, especially when Riesʼs machine gun started mowing them down like weeds.

The rest managed to leap behind the barricades to take cover, hoping that the boxes would protect them against our hailstorm of bullets.

Mara raised her hands and several of the boxes the thugs had been using as barricades rose up into the air, exposing them to our gunfire.

The thugs who had found themselves suddenly deprived of a cover gaped at us right before they were blasted to bits by a mix of machine gun, handgun, sniper and shotgun bullets.

While those thugs were being mowed down, Mara used the boxes that she had lifted to smash them into the other barricades, destroying a good chunk of them and crushing any thugs unfortunate enough to be hiding behind them.

Something I noticed was that only a few of them tried to return fire while most of them were either running away or just hiding behind their barricades.

I then realised these guys must have thought they had time to set up the barricades first and left their weapons somewhere else.

Welp, that worked in our favour.

Speaking of those that were running away… Letting them warn the others that their defenses were breached would not be good so we have to take care of them before they do that.

”Iʼm going in!” I announced, taking off after the group that were trying to escape. Stay connected with

I leapt over one of the crushed barricades and shot one another thug that had tried to peek out from another barricade to my right.

My shield flashed for a moment as it blocked a shot from someone to my left but I didnʼt need to worry because a sniper round soon pierced through the head of my attacker, allowing me to make a break for it.

After clearing the barricades, I had a clear sight of the group of six that were running towards the end of the hallway.

I levelled my shotgun and fired two shots quickly, the buckshot pellets peppering the back of three thugs and dropping them onto the ground.

The other three were a little further away so I quickly switched my grip on my shotgun to my left hand to pull out my pistol with my right, taking a moment to aim before firing three rounds in quick succession, blasting all three of their heads open with my pistol rounds.

Someone let out a yell from behind me and I reacted immediately by diving forward and rolling into a crouch to aim my pistol behind me.

The thug that tried to attack me with a metal pipe from behind froze as he saw the weapon levelled at him, which was all he managed to do before I fired two shots into his chest.

He fell backward and dropped the pipe, which seemed to have set off a few thugs as they also tried to pick up makeshift weapons to attack me.

I tossed my pistol into the air and transferred my shotgun to my right hand before catching my pistol with my left hand.

With both weapons in hand, I pointed at the charging mob and fired a salvo of kinetic rounds at them.

The first three guys immediately went down while two thugs got shot from behind by a sniper round blasting through their heads, courtesy of Lea.

I aimed my pistol and fired two more times, the bullets piercing through the chest of a thug and dropping him to the ground.

One of them leapt the last few metres with his metal pipe raised above his head, letting out a warcry as he attempted to smash me with his weapon.

I swung my shotgun and aimed it at his chest, firing my weapon from the hip and blasting him back to crash into another thug.

The last three didnʼt even manage to reach me because Amber jumped in from behind and kicked one across the face while shooting another in the back.

The one she had kicked ended up stumbling away to crash into the last guy, sending both men tumbling to the floor.

My blonde haired lover then landed on her feet and spun back around to fire her two pistols at the two thugʼs heads, blasting their brain matter all over the floor.

I looked back at the barricades only to see that all of them had been flattened or tossed aside thanks to Mara.

Several of the thugs had raised their hands in surrender and were even pleading for mercy.

”Please! Let us go! We didnʼt even do anything to you!” One of them pleaded.

The girls looked at me, obviously letting me decide their fate.

There was only one answer to that.

We could not leave any witnesses, especially since weʼve shown that Mara was a Psionic.

”Kill them,” I ordered.

Our guns fired again and the rest of the thugs dropped onto the ground.

Sorry, but weʼre not taking any prisoners.
