Chapter 147: Artillery

• The Hunters were charged with crossing over the napalm smoke and using flairs, mark out where the Twisted were fewest. Then the AI tanks would follow the Hunters towards the marked directions to dampen the flames using their treads. The ICADS would follow immediately after, flanking the special weapons artillery trucks. In this military procession, not a single weapon had stopped firing at the Hoard.
• 56 watched all this robotic verse monster warfare unfold from the slightly uncomfortable trailer bed while floating towards the black wall of billowing smoke. After passing by, he saw that there was no obvious direction that could be considered to have the fewest Twisted. The napalm fire and smoke had attracted every Twisted with in sight. Twisted had fully surrounded the perimeter of the flames screeching and bellowing with malicious intent.
• Moments later the Hunters came to the same conclusion as 56. However, they had to advance. So, a green flair was launched dead center of the weakening napalm flames. AI tanks quickly advanced three abreast, plowing through the smoke and then into the crowding Twisted creatures. Many creatures were unable to dodge the sudden appearance of the speeding tanks and were crushed. While other Twisted clamored up on top of the tanks and tried attacking them. They stabbed, thrashed, and gnawed at every tank part they could reach. Yet the armor easily held up to their attacks and the tanks rolled onwards.
