Mission Four - Knives in Phnom PenhCambodian National Assembly Grounds - 11/11/2022 07:20 UTC+7, which is 8:20, UTC+8Numbers, tactics, cover, and overlapping fields of fire, all wore down Dior's squad of assassins, whose augmented senses and speed were simply not enough; four of them were killed, perforated by a combined assault rifle, submachine gun, and sniper fire before Len managed to save the remaining three through his sneak attack. Nevertheless, Dior's squad managed to bring down thirty-five of the three hundred combined Gendarmerie and Special Forces Command of the Cambodian Army assigned to protect Prime Minister H.S. from retaliation after his brazen break with international norms.
Len had brought down another seven during his purge of the Snipers; that meant forty-two overall losses for the defenders, but that wasn't enough; these soldiers were proof that Arms Masters were not invincible against mundane weapons and fighters who could use them well.
Kaden, meanwhile, still had sixty-three guns firing in his general direction, trying to suppress him; at least that was twenty-six fewer weapons firing at him, right?
As for the three remaining members of Dior's assassin squad, they launched a counterattack that killed five more Cambodian elite soldiers and injured two; this eased up the pressure on Dior himself, who had used the cover his death squad had brought to sneak, fight, and maneuver himself to where his Noble Arm, a razor locket, can project six sharp-edged, icy-cold mirrors that launched beams of cold in all directions at a rapid rate of fire, flash-freezing metal, plastic and rubber as the fleshy soldiers used the armored vehicles they brought as their cover, armored vehicles that nevertheless had their guns and ammo grow so cold that heating them again by firing them just caused the metal to
snap.
Dior received no return fire as he continued towards the doors of the National Assembly Building, where sandbags, a machine gun nest, and a grenade launcher were set up, all of which failed to fire back...
The Skies above Phnom Penh - 11/11/2022 07:20 UTC+7, which is 8:20, UTC+8The Cambodians had stockpiled a lot of Anti-Aircraft ammunition before and during the ASEAN War, and were emptying it recklessly into the air, forcing Lotus Squadron to dance away to evade the sheer weight of fire protecting the Royal Cambodian Army's Gendarmerie HQ.
As for the Royal Cambodian Air Force, they saw the Russian and Venezuelan mercenaries hired by the Prime Minister start to rampage around
their homes and families, and that sealed their determination to return to the ASEAN fold. They began strafing these goons, using the bare minimum of fire needed to avoid collateral damage, and when the guns-for-hire gathered in one place or occupied a relatively empty building, retribution was swift; they died.
Cambodian National Assembly Grounds - 11/11/2022 07:20 UTC+7, which is 8:20, UTC+8But now, a million-dollar question needed to be asked: Where was Task Force Obsidian? Had Noel's capture plus the injuries sustained during the initial Cambodian Ambush gutted them so badly? Or was Special Liason Lei Qingshe's loss a deeper wound?
Would the members of TFO choose sit out this most vital engagement?
Prime Minister H.S. got a call from his son, Commander-in-Chief of the Royal Cambodian Army, H.M. He instinctively opened his phone to answer it, and a bright flash of light filled the National Assembly chambers as Myron Makraig, temporary commander of Task Force Obsidian, teleported himself and
maybe Marta, Nil, Nico and Aoi (assuming they volunteered) into the large room using the Prime Minister's own internet connection as his conduit.
His Floro-Mk2 Submachine Gun was pointed at Prime Minister H.S.'s face, even as his security detail pointed heavy pistols at him and those who may have joined him (if any).
