Part 667: Konpei Island - Turn 12

Konpei Island Update 12

“That’s one,” Isoroku said calmly as a Clan VTOL burst into flames. His autocannon had made short work of the first of the approaching targets, but rather than scattering as he’d expected the bulk of the flight simply dipped their noses a little more and rushed in. It was bravery after a fashion—a suicidal fashion—but nothing about the Clans he’d seen thus far suggested they valued such niceties as human life. A crime the Draconis Combine, and perhaps the whole Inner Sphere, had long grown accustomed to.

Hanse Davion cared. Or, at least, he pretended to. Isoroku wasn’t certain if that made the man strong, or if it made him an utter fool. Nor was it entirely convincing, simple calculus suggested he should have kept well clear of Isoroku’s crash site to keep the invasion’s command structure intact. Even if there truly were no other units to send, staying away was the wiser choice. Either he’d chosen to land here to bolster his ego, and rub Isoroku’s nose in failure, or he’d done so for the publicity. A convenient enough tactic that might have played well in the naïve Federated Suns, but which the citizens of the Draconis Combine would care little about.

Isoroku’s eyes flicked down at his ammunition display. They weren’t the brilliant blue House Kurita was known for, but a simple, common dark brown. “I have three more shots. Let me know when that “Nidhogg” gets too close.”
