Chapter Twenty-One: Misfortune - Mission Failure

[[[CP|W:826|H:489|A:L]]]"Ha~~ It's five o'clock...... It's almost time to snort! Ha......?! ”

"How do you ...... Poof! Hmmm......"

"Poof." "Poof."

Before the two sleepy guards could react, two cold lights flashed, and they felt that the sky was spinning, and the sky and the earth were intertwined and blended together.

In front of him was the corpse of a soldier standing with a gun, and next to him was a black-haired girl with a facet in the face of a long knife.

If you look closely, isn't it your own body that is standing with a gun? That's the ...... here.

“……”

opened his mouth slightly, but found that he could no longer speak, and looked sideways to see that the brother on the other side of the door also fell, the difference was that he was split in half directly from the middle.

It's like firewood and it's poured to the left and right.

Are you dead? Why don't you feel pain at all?

How did he know how fast the Red Pupil Sword Technique was? How sharp is Black Hitomi's knife technique?

Not to mention people, even the dangerous species and giant beasts in the northern forests of Draguma, they can all be clean and neat together, not to mention the body of a mere human?

The speed of the red pupil's knife technique makes it so fast that the blood will rush out after the knife, and the human reflex nerve can't feel the pain of the knife passing through the flesh at all.

Therefore, the people who fell under the red pupil knife basically did not have any pain, so it was natural.

"Poof" the corpse fell to the ground.

No one will react to give a warning.

"Once the obstacle is cleared, save people immediately."

When I looked around, I found that no one around noticed the situation here, the square in front of me was full of torches and people, and no one woke up at all when the barracks and barricades on the side were lit with torches.

If they had extinguished the torches, they might have been able to see it, but unfortunately, they would not have been able to see it completely without light, accustomed to the light.

"Hum—"

The door was opened, and the voice was very soft, under the air of religious fanaticism opposite

The knife was sheathed, and the red pupil and the black pupil found the key from the two guards as fast as they could to open the door.

What catches your eye is ......

"This is not a hospital, this is a torture room."

There was blood everywhere, and there was a ...... on the wall All were soldiers of the army of Amestories...... Tortured corpses of inhuman form.

"Or rather, a slaughterhouse."

Entering the house, I briefly searched and observed, and found some clues in the corners and cabinets

"It was a hospital."

Under the corner there were two broken vials, bottles of saline, and under the stone chips in the corner there were several pieces of bloody gauze and the hair of the Ishbars.

Squatted down and picked up the gauze and sniffed it, the red pupil probably understood the situation

"Judging from the smell of blood and the clotting process, it was a hospital about a day ago, and the smell of disinfectant and medicine left in the house, they had just been evacuated from here for less than two days. And the reason ......"

As soon as he entered the door, he felt as if a cold wind was pouring into the room, and his red pupils looked up at the ceiling

"That's probably why."

There was a large hole in the ceiling that had been crushed by a cannonball, and the moonlight could shine through it.

"Are they dead, then?"

Hitomi Kuro, who was on guard at the door, asked

They were now in the heart of tens of thousands of rebels and angry Ishbals, and it would be half an hour before dawn. They don't have much time.

The most important thing to know now is whether the task needs to be continued

"It's hard to say."

Looking at the bottom of the big hole, the big pit on the ground that was obviously smashed by the cannonballs falling to the ground, the red pupil judged like this

"The shell fell, but luckily it was a dud."

Then he squatted on the ground to pass the broken clues and his own long-term experience of walking on the battlefield and killing, and the red pupil continued to deduce

"And then here...... Hit the operating table......"

Some of the debris on the floor is the same as the broken bed in the corner. There was blood on the bed, radiating from the center of the large hole, and it was supposed that the person on the bed was hit in the abdomen.

"Stoned a patient to death."

Touching the irregular clothes on the ground and the marks of friction on the ground, Red Hitomi then deduced

"An adult male doctor fell to the ground, and an Amestoli woman in soft leather boots and several other Ishbars helped him up."

There were drag marks of shoes in the dust on the ground, up to the door.

"The male doctor was dragged out of the hospital, there was no blood, he should have been unconscious, and his injuries were not serious."

At the end of the exploration, the red pupil is restored to a natural state

"That means they should still be alive and have moved places. Not here anymore. ”

"So what are we going to do? Keep searching? ”

This is what Black Hitomi is most concerned about at this time

"You ...... Be...... Who ......? ”

At this moment, a weak male voice came from the wall

“?!”

In an instant, both knives were drawn from their sheaths but not cut out. For they knew that the man could not cry out at all, as if he were dead.

"Warrior, the rest has nothing to do with you."

There is no mercy for the inhuman figure who was tortured and tortured on the wall, this is the characteristic of professional killers, knowing when there must be no sympathy.

Because they are not qualified to sympathize with others.

"Yes...... Are we our own people? ”

Knowing that there were no foreigners in the Ishbal rebels, the soldiers judged so

"Sort of."

Since the target is not there, they are ready to leave

"You ...... Is it here to save people? Couple...... Doctor...... Couple? ”

"Do you know where they are?"

Feeling that the man seemed to know something, the red pupil rushed to the wall and asked the dying captive

"Know...... Promise me...... Is it okay to make a request? ”

The soldier was oozing blood, and his face was so bad that he obviously couldn't hold out for a few minutes.

"Yes, except to get you out."

"Please help me carry the letter in my pocket...... Ship to ...... My home? ”

I felt in the wounded soldier's pocket, and sure enough, there was a letter from home, which seemed to have been written but had not yet been stamped.

"Yes, but you have to tell me where my husband and wife are."

A letter wouldn't affect the mission, and Akatomi agreed

"I'm a soldier in the 2nd district...... 3rd Battalion of the 246th Regiment...... McKeen...... Lieutenant...... Address you can"

"Hurry up and say where they are!"

Now every second counts, where can I care so much, remember the soldier's words, and the red pupil urged him anxiously

"Saida District...... They said they brought the couple to the Saida district...... I don't know anything else......"

"Let's go to the Saida area, it's still twenty minutes before dawn, if it's soon, it should be in time."

Get the information you need, remember your promise, and leave the injuries on the wall and go out

"Don't go! Little girl! It's too late! Cough! Cough! Cough! ”

Suddenly with a shout, the soldier coughed twice and spat blood

"What do you mean it's too late?"

It was still that cold expression, without a trace of change

"Starting at 5:15 today, the army will begin shelling the Saida area and all the important passages around it...... You can't get through the artillery blockade with people, it will kill you......"

"How do you know that?"

"I am the Artillery Communications Control Inspector...... Know the plan of the artillery bombardment of the whole army in three days......"

That's why the rebels didn't kill him

"Thank you for the info, we know what to do."

If there is an artillery blockade, then the mission is basically impossible to succeed, and running out with people in the face of dense artillery fire is no different from sending them to death. It's safer for couples to hide in a safe place first.

"Can you do me another favor?"

"No, there's only one one."

"It's a favor for you...... Very easy ......"

The lieutenant smiled and swallowed a mouthful of blood

"Kill me."

“?”

"Kill me, okay? I don't want to die in a shackle, as a soldier...... At least...... Let me die like a man."

“…………”

Hearing the lieutenant's words begging for death, some past events flashed in the red pupil's eyes, only a fraction of a second, but there were still them

"Yes, that's an extra reward."

As he spoke, the sword was unsheathed and aimed at the lieutenant's neck

"Thank you...... Little Girl...... Thank you~"

What is revealed is a smile of relief

"Lieutenant McKenn of the 246th Regiment, your name I will always remember. Go all the way. ”

…………

"How's that going, sister? Shall we continue? ”

"No, Black Hitomi, the mission is canceled, let's go back."
