Call! I let out a sigh of relief, got up from the ground, picked up the sniper rifle and closed the safe, and put the bipod away, no matter what the purpose of this sniper was, he couldn't do anything when he died.

Leaning on the machine gun, I was just about to ask the Grim Reaper if he wanted to send a search team to the island to investigate, when suddenly a sharp whistle came from far and near, and I instinctively shouted: "Shelling, lie down!" Then he quickly lay on the ground, too lazy to bother with the recruits.

As soon as the words fell, boom...... Several loud bangs in succession set off monstrous waves, and several shells fell in front of the ship, and the explosion shook the water surface violently, and the flying water splashed on the bow of the ship, and even the ship shook with it.

"Behind the top of the mountain, mortars!" The Grim Reaper immediately identified the enemy's location, and they were hiding on the slopes behind the mountain, which thermal probes could not catch.

"Fire suppression, fire suppression!" The devil yelled on the public channel, and the recruits, although highly nervous, were not flustered under the devil's command.

In an instant, ten ships opened fire with all their might, aiming at the top of the mountain, and the cannon that could collapse the building almost swept the top of the mountain, and the smoke and dust were billowing and the grass and trees were flying, and the flying dust enveloped the entire mountaintop.

Although there were no heavy naval guns on the ship, all the 82mm mortars carried by the army were moved out, erected on the deck, and bombarded the top of the hill indiscriminately, and the shells fell on the island in pieces.

In a matter of moments, the top of the mountain was almost flattened, and the smoke billowed into the sky, and if the devil hadn't stopped them, the soldiers would have blown up the entire island before they stopped.

Although a burst of indiscriminate bombardment seems to be full of firepower and monstrous momentum, we all know that we may not be able to kill people, because the enemy is hiding behind the mountain, and the ballistics of these recruits are not accurately calibrated, and the shells are all exploding on the top of the mountain or in the front, and there are not a few rounds that fall behind the mountain, as long as the enemy hides well, they cannot be blown up at all.

"It is necessary to send a search party up." I said into the microphone.

"Let the ship dock, I'll lead the team up!" The voice of the devil came, and as an instructor, he had the duty to land on the island with the recruits.

"Sir, are there any living people on the island?" The young soldier hiding behind me looked at the island that was about to be flattened, and could not imagine that anyone could survive under such powerful firepower.

"Never underestimate the survivability of your opponent, the battlefield is dangerous without seeing the corpse with your own eyes." For the sake of him trusting me so much, I will impart a little battlefield experience, and maybe he will be able to live on the battlefield for a while longer.

"Understood, sir!" He gave me a military salute.

"I'm not your chief, so you don't have to salute me." I smiled and patted him on the shoulder.

"No, you are my commander and my idol!" This kid is quite stubborn.

"Judging from the number of shells fired by the enemy just now, there are no more than ten enemies left on the island, is it necessary for us to delay time for such a few people?" The goddess came out of the cabin and walked up to me and said.

"Of course it is necessary! Do you really want to take this group of recruits to attack the Abu Sayyaf Lair? "I raised my eyebrows and realized that the goddess wasn't joking with me.

"You're delaying the fighter!" The goddess leaned close to me and said with a very serious expression.

"Hey, what's wrong with you?" I noticed that something was wrong with her, and took her hand and asked, but she threw me away and walked to the deck alone, holding on to the railing with both hands, facing the sea, looking depressed.

I sighed softly and slowly walked behind her and held her in my arms, "I know what you think, you are pitiful to those troubled believers on the island of Basilan, right?" ”

"Why don't you help me when the government is corrupt, there is collusion between officials and bandits, snakes and rats, and the Abu Sayyaf organization is killing Catholics, and now there is a chance to save them from their suffering?" The goddess leaned against me, tilting her head sideways as if questioning, as if pleading.

"You've done enough for them." I'm a little ruthless when I say this, and I regret it when I say it, and it's okay to think about it in my heart, and it's over when I say it.

Sure enough, the goddess suddenly broke free from my arms after hearing this, turned her head to glare at me and asked fiercely, "It's me who bothered you too much, right?" ”

"No, I didn't mean that."

"Then what do you mean, I tell you, I can give up everything, including life, but also ...... for the sake of faith" The goddess said this abruptly, and the word "you" almost blurted out.

"Okay, it's my fault, don't get excited, listen to me, Shia, I think you saved them once, but you can't save them a second time, the Abu Sayyaf organization is not so simple to eliminate, do you think it's possible with these hundreds of recruits?"

"Isn't there still us? Did you snipe Abadi with one shot, or were you simply not willing to risk it for me? ”

"I can die for you!"

"Humph!" The goddess turned her head angrily and snorted heavily.

In fact, my idea is very simple, the Holy See has the ability to take care of his believers, and he can't let the goddess do everything, after all, she is Caesar's warrior, not the guardian of the Holy See, I don't care, it's the same wherever I die, but there are too many times, I'm afraid that my brothers will have ideas.

"I'll help you, and we'll go play with Abdulajak." I can't help it, I really can't see her angry, I'm the only one left in my life.

"Really?" The goddess was like a child, and immediately became happy.

"When did I lie to you, but be prepared for it, we may not be able to kill that cunning fellow, maybe he won't be here at all." I must remind her that the Abu Sayyaf Organization has been entrenched in the southern Philippines for more than a decade, and if it had collapsed so easily, it would not have survived to this day.

"I understand that as long as I fight their living force, even if it is to fight for a period of peace, it can be regarded as saving those believers." The goddess is not a girl who only knows waywardness, she understands everything in her heart.

"What they need is not protection, but self-help, and when the war is over, I will accompany you to help them train the Self-Defense Force, as long as it is enough to protect themselves." If this thing doesn't end, Thea won't be able to leave with peace of mind, and she won't be able to watch the believers suffer and ignore it.

"That's what you said, don't go back!" The goddess pointed to my nose and said.

"Am I going to let you stay in the Philippines alone?" I reached out and scratched the tip of her nose.

At this time, the devil had already taken dozens of recruits to disembark and land on the island, no matter what, the dozen or so enemies trapped on the island still could not be spared, how to say that it was a war achievement.
