The remaining survivors were soon reduced to five to six when bullets came flying from a spot in the dark, ending their lives with pinpoint accuracy.
Seeing this, the sole survivor put his arms behind his head and kneeled down in the pool of blood of his allies, surrendering.. He then looked up and saw a dark silhouette getting close to him. He had never been so afraid in his life.
It was then a sound came from the left side in the darkness, as the man did not even look before ending the surprise assailant with a single shot. Squatting down in front of the soldier, Richard asked, “Where’s Moccan Pierce?”
“H-H-He’s in the base behind us.”
After ending the soldier’s life, Richard looked like a man that came back from hell, as he walked out of the cave to be greeted by the sky with the dark clouds dispersed, shining a faint moonlight on his face.
Right then, he looked extremely terrifying with his gaze full of bloodthirst.
Seems like this was only the place where Moccan trained his soldiers. So, he’s actually hiding in the base behind. Bending over, Richard picked up a gun from the ground and reloaded it quickly before disappearing into the night.
After half an hour, Captain Anderson and his men could not sit around any longer. Hence, he led the team to the ground right below the cliff. Seeing the two mercenaries laying on the ground, they silently climbed up the cliff only to smell the thick scent of blood wafting through the air as they climbed up. They went into the cave to have a look only for them to exit with a pale face.
They could not believe how Richard eliminated more than a hundred people in such a short amount of time.
What a godlike existence.
“He’s ahead of us again. See if he left any information behind.”
“We found the leader’s tracks. He left a message saying that Moccan is in the base behind us and that Professor Tesla must be held captive there too.”
“Let’s quickly reinforce him.” Captain Anderson waved his hand, and the team moved out.
Meanwhile, Richard had found a vantage point to observe the base behind. From there, he saw that the brightly lit base was constructed mostly using shipping containers.
He had received orders from Captain Anderson that he was forbidden from acting alone, as he needed to wait for them to strategize a plan for the battle.
After losing the support of their vanguard, their battle prowess was greatly reduced, yet the people here did not seem to know that their reinforcements had all perished.
Finally, the team arrived with Captain Anderson tapping his shoulders. Even though they did not exchange verbally. the gaze from Captain Anderson told Richard that he was grateful for his actions.
Because of him, they were one step closer to accomplishing their plan and the hope of victory increased.
Drones which were as small as the size of a dragonfly were sent out and they were maneuvered silently into the base.
“There are around thirty soldiers.”
“We have to move fast. Moccan might find out that his vanguard has been eliminated. If that happens, he might get rid of the professor.”
“I’ll be the lead, Richard stated.
Pushing his shoulders down, Captain Anderson replied, “Let my men go. You stay with me.”
Richard could only accept the order, as he saw the soldiers going down into the base. Yet, just after ten minutes, a gunfight could be heard.
“Looks like it has begun. The best course of action now is to rush in.” Captain Anderson waved, motioning the team to move toward the base.
Yet, Richard only looked at their backs, as he stayed in his spot, for he always liked accomplishing his tasks in an unorthodox method, so he went another way.
