Chapter Ninety-Seven: Rescuing the Hostages
Time goes back to when Alice and the others gathered in the living room to chat. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Half an hour ago, Shervy had already gotten up. He looked in the direction of the rebel canteen with bloodshot eyes, standing like a statue, motionless.
Ima hadn't woken up yet, and Shervy didn't want to wake him up so early. He knew that his son must be tired and needed a rest, but Ima woke up half an hour after he got up. He changed his clothes and tried to go downstairs to wash, only to find Shervey in the living room, standing with a dozen senior officers in front of a map spread out on a long table.
When the guards and servants saw him, they immediately saluted and greeted him. When Shervi and the other senior officers heard Imma's name, they all turned their heads to look at him. Imma said good morning to his father and the other senior officers, and then asked his father if he could stay here, and only after getting Shervey's permission did he walk up to him.
"The rescue operation is about to begin."
Shervy didn't mean to hide from Ima, and several senior officers around him made room for Ima, and Ima stepped forward, only to learn that the long table was a plan of the rebel canteen.
In fact, as early as when Ima and the others were not rescued, Shervi and other senior officers had already formulated a rescue plan. They prepared to launch a rescue operation at dawn on the 11th, and at the same time eliminate all the rebels stationed in the canteen.
The canteen was divided into three floors, each with a hall on each floor, and the hostages were held in the hall on the third floor. The rebels have already sealed off all the entrances to the first floor with tables and chairs, and if you want to break into the canteen from the first floor, by the time the rescue troops reach the third floor, the hostages should have been killed by the rebels.
Since the rebels had completely abandoned the defenses on the outside of the canteen, Shervey had sent a group of agile soldiers to manage to climb to the roof of the canteen. He also had a long ladder made overnight, preparing for his Ryding magicians to try to knock down the wall on the second floor, so that the soldiers could put the ladder on the gap and kill the canteen.
Shelvy sent someone to observe the situation inside the cafeteria, and prepared to ask his Leiding magicians to try to collapse the walls on the third floor that were far away from the hostages, and let the soldiers put the long ladder on the gap to kill and save people. The walls of the cafeteria would have shattered from the windows of the powerful Leiding magic, and the soldiers hiding on the roof could climb down the rope and enter through the windows on the third floor.
The rebels didn't know anything about tactics, and they still learned the trick of blocking the door with tables and chairs. The reason why they kept the hostages on the third floor was because they felt that as long as they guarded the stairs, the hostages would not be able to escape. However, just in case, the rebels deployed more than 100 people on the third floor, including four councillors, and fifteen magic academy students who had joined the Truth Society.
Among the hostages held on the third floor, Hein and the security forces were always together, and the rebels did not bother to separate them. The same was true of the other captives, who either gathered with friends or with family members. After the canteen was surrounded by Bright's army, the captured Cornate began to gather on the side of Hein.
The rebels are not professional hijackers, and they feel that it doesn't matter if the hostages don't resist and move around. So they let the hostages move around the confined area, and only when there was movement on the Bright's side, the rebels shouted at them all to crouch.
The hostages had been talking in whispers, and the rebels didn't care about that. Hine had been concluding with the Cornate family that the Bright Army would launch a rescue operation, so they had been discussing what to do after the rescue operation began. In order to survive, the others all expressed their willingness to obey the arrangements of Hine and others.
For the hostages, the biggest threat is the Leting magic force on the third floor. Through nearly a day and a night of observation, Hein and the others have determined the identities of these nineteen people. These people often close their eyes in order to sense the fluctuations of the magic element, so their identity is easy to determine.
As long as these nineteen people are killed, the remaining rebels will be very easy to deal with. About half of the hostages were students of the Leting-Sackin School of Magic, and at least a third of them could use magic arrows. There were only a hundred rebels on the third floor, and it was easy to take them out with magic arrows.
However, this is only an ideal situation, otherwise Hine would not have dared to act. They didn't know how to kill the nineteen rebels' Leiting magic combat power, as long as there was a magic element fluctuation on the hostage's side, these nineteen people would immediately start killing, and the more than a hundred rebels would also kill, causing serious casualties to the hostages.
The vast majority of these hostages had no combat experience, and many were scared to pee their pants just by seeing the fierceness of the rebels. With the courage of these people, it would be good if they could remember to crouch down and hold their heads when the fight started, and it was simply impossible to attack the rebels with the security forces.
So Hein and they could only wait, wait for the Bright army to attack first, wait for the rebels' attention to be attracted by the Bright army, and then launch a counterattack.
Turning her gaze back to Shervey's command post, Imma was a little apprehensive when she learned of her father's rescue plan. There were already too many innocent people dead in the academy, and he didn't want any more innocent people to die. Ima wanted to ask her father if there would be innocent casualties as a result of this operation, but she didn't dare to ask about it.
Almost in the blink of an eye, it was time for the action to begin. Due to the fact that the Bright Army fired magic flares at intervals, the night sky was always lit, so the people in the magic academy could only determine the time by looking at the moon. The moment the moon disappeared from Bright's sight, the action began.
Following Shelvy's plan, the Ryding magicians fired more than a dozen enhanced versions of the magic blasting bombs into the walls of the second and third floors of the cafeteria, blasting more than a dozen large holes in the walls of the second and third floors. At this time, about half of the rebels were sleeping, and those who were awake were not in good spirits. The hostages were also resting, and the explosion woke up all the people who were asleep, and the timid people were immediately scared to tears.
The rebels had no military training, and when they woke up, the rebel soldiers were very flustered, completely unaware of what to do. The 12 councillors were in a worse condition than the ordinary rebel soldiers, and when they woke up, they froze, almost forgetting that they were the commanders of the soldiers in the cafeteria.
The explosion not only panicked the rebels, but also disrupted Hein's counterattack plan. Knowing that there were no hostages on the first and second floors, the Bright's Rytin magician fired high-intensity magic flares directly into these two floors. The rebels on the first and second floors were unprepared for this, and everyone was blinded and wailed.
More than a dozen rebel soldiers standing at the staircase on the third floor were also affected, and their screams attracted the attention of the rebels on the third floor. The Bright Army soldiers, who were hiding on the roof of the building, took the opportunity to climb down from the rope, kicked the wooden window frame, and jumped through the window into the third floor.
These Bright soldiers only carried a short sword, but it was enough to deal with the panicked rebels. Seeing that the friendly troops had broken through, Hine and the others immediately rushed forward and snatched weapons from the rebels. Breaking into the third floor, the Bright Army recognized the security forces' attire and joined them in dealing with the rebels, quickly taking control of the situation on the third floor.
At this time, the surviving rebel Leiting magic force on the third floor finally remembered that he knew Leiting magic, but no matter what they did at this time, it was useless.
After about a quarter of an hour, the battle was over. The Bright Army rescued all the hostages at a very small cost, and only a few of the security soldiers were slightly wounded in the battle, while the rest of the hostages were unscathed.
When the news reached the command post, Ima wanted to shout with joy, but he found that Shervi and the dozen or so senior officers did not look happy, and several of them frowned.
Servi and these high-ranking officers were very satisfied with the results of the operation, but they were not happy. Because Moritin had told him that every survivor of the academy would be screened, and that the children of the families who had participated in the rebellion and the remnants of the Truth Society would be detained and sent back to Sakdin to await their fate.
Based on what Shelvi and the other senior officers knew about Moritdin, these men must have died a terrible death. In other words, Servi and the other senior officers tried their best to save these people from the rebels, but in the end they still had to die.
Shervay remembers very well that among the people who shared Ima's weal and woe, there was a boy from the Offet family, a boy from the Namix family, and a girl from the Triton family. All three of the great families had joined the rebels, and if Shelvi did not let them go, they would have to be escorted back to Sakin to await their fate.
Neither the Willant nor the Livitt family participated in the rebellion, so Lulu and Alain were fine. However, the family homes of both families outside the Third Sector were attacked by the rebels and suffered heavy losses.
While Shervey's troops rescued the hostages, Moritdin's side also moved. After dawn, the districts outside the third arrondissement are almost finished, and it's time to clean up the mess. Moritin had five magic flares fired into the sky in a predetermined order to let troops from outside the city enter the city.
The troops outside the city advanced into the city, and at the same time, the Bright army inside the city also began to advance outside the city. As the soldiers of the Bright Army marched forward, they shouted: "Death to those who have weapons!" ”
Some of the remnants of the rebels tried to resist, but they were all killed by the Bright Army without hesitation. The Bright Army searched every street and left enough troops in various districts to put martial law under martial law. By the time the sun had fully risen, the Bright Army had recovered all the towns and imposed martial law on them.
Daisy returned to Saktin after martial law. Since she was sent back by a soldier of the Bright Army, the interrogation was handled by the soldier who sent her back. After entering the city of Sakkin, the soldiers who sent Daisy into the city asked the soldiers on a martial law mission about the situation in the city.
"The rebels have almost been suppressed, and those rebellious big families have been caught and killed, and those who have been caught will not live long."
"I really can't understand this group of big people who have the power and money to rebel."
"Maybe they're just looking for death."
"These people will ruin my vacation just to find death, what bastards!"
"Don't complain if you can get home alive!"
"Tsk, too."
The soldier who had sent Daisy back to Saktin nodded, pouted and shrugged his shoulders. When the martial law soldier saw that Daisy was beautiful and dressed as a maid, he whistled at her and asked the soldier who had taken her back to the city of Sakkin.
"Whose maid is this?"
"I don't know, I'm just doing what I'm told."
The martial law soldiers did not ask any more questions and were allowed to go.
As soon as Daisy heard that a large family was involved in the rebellion, she concluded that the Offet family must be one of them. After hearing that the people of the family who participated in the rebellion were either captured or killed, Daisy did not react at all. She is still crazy, thinking that she is a goddess, and since she is a goddess, she should not be related to mortals.
By daybreak, Maier had already returned to the dormitory building where Bifull was with the girls. He didn't change into men's clothes, but brought a suit with him, because Shelvey had sent someone to follow them, and it would be strange if "Miss Mary" suddenly disappeared and then Mel suddenly returned.
Maier plans to find a suitable time to restore his identity as a man, such as after returning to Sakding City and separating from the others. Shelvey didn't tell everyone about the situation in Sakin City, and now Maier and the others still think that the only target of the Truth Society is the Letin-Saktin Academy of Magic.
On the way back to the dormitory, Maier and the others learned that the hostages had been successfully rescued. After the enemies of the academy were cleared, Maier felt that the Society of Truth was about to be uprooted by the Cornate family. He couldn't help but think back to what he had done since he came to Saktin, and Mel suddenly realized that he didn't seem to have done anything serious. Except for taking a class like a normal magic academy student, the rest of the time was nothing more than eating, drinking, and playing, and then the problem was inexplicably solved. (To be continued.) )
