Chapter 47: After the Bombardment

"Oops...... One step late. Heliga, who was on the way, heard the loud noise and the roaring fire, and knew that he was a little careless, so that he did not catch up.

When he sped up and quickly arrived at the scene of the shelter, all he saw was panic.

A house in the northwest corner of the vault appeared to have been hit directly by a heavy weapon, and the house, which had been built to the standards of temporary habitation, disintegrated into rubble with a crackling sound, along with several other nearby houses. The loud noises and tremors naturally made the refugees, who had been awakened by the sound of the fighting and had been restless in their houses, even more agitated. The sound of their chatter in the house, through the poorly insulated façade, made the entire shelter instantly noisy - the more daring people quietly opened the crack in the door to see what was really going on outside.

"Oops...... This is...... Mortars. Even Garcia couldn't help but be moved at this moment - he didn't expect that the enemy he was facing this time would be so bold and carry artillery with mass destruction in non-theater operations. And he also knew that after this shot, the prisoners who were captured by himself just now were afraid that they would not survive - the landing point was extremely accurate, even if they were not killed by the shell explosion, they would be stoned to death in the subsequent collapse of the building. What's more, to make sure they don't escape, they're tied up in a debilitating condition that means they're almost unconscious—making it impossible to break free from death on their own.

"Martha...... Be careful. Fire over there—" Garcia shouted to Martha, who was now recklessly heading towards the ruins; Several "Rose" hunters beside her were also trying to persuade her.

"At least check what they're doing - I'm not going to mess around!" Martha shouted, trying to break free from the restraints of the members, but to no avail—none of them were willing to let go at this time and send the regimental leader into the fire pit.

"Rose" has not been without attrition in the past few years - however, most of them are caused by serious injuries that cannot be treated during missions such as dealing with dangerous monsters. Martha never gave up on the members in the first place—in her opinion, even if she knew that she would die, she would at least need to try a little bit to be able to do so

"In this case, if you get close to there, you're already messing around. Listen to me—" Garcia tried to persuade Martha, but was interrupted by Martha's words.

"They...... They...... I promised their parents that they would send them back to their hometown safely......"

"This ......" Garcia froze speechlessly—in a matter of seconds, he figured out the cause and effect—the other party was not targeting the refugees who had taken refuge here, but just to remove the captives they knew they could not salvage. This also means that they want to hide the news and are unwilling to give the people here a chance to interrogate these people, so they choose to directly kill the killer - although this practice has always been said to be a shameless act by the regimental commander in the "Zephyr", it is actually very common among the hunting regiments. From this point of view, the other party must have been monitoring every move here, which means that there are still many members of their follow-up force who have been watching the situation here.

Such a position could not be a small attack or a misunderstanding - there must be some conspiracy behind it, and the more the other side acted like this, the more it proved the importance of these captives.

However, one yard to one yard - the current situation is basically a complete dead end, and Martha cannot be allowed to take risks - Garcia's idea was originally very firm, but when she saw Martha's depressed but determined face, she couldn't say anything against it for a while.

Although she is weak and does not have a strong sense of presence, isn't Martha to these children who were born in the ruins of the autonomous prefecture just like the head of the regiment took care of Garcia and the others? Whether it is Jeno who is desperate because he is being chased by the enemy, or Faye who has lost his family and is homeless because of the war, as long as he is recognized by the regiment commander as a companion and family, the entire "Zephyr Brigade" will definitely become a solid backing behind him.

Weak, immature, Garcia saw a shadow of Luca Croussel in Martha. In a trance, Martha had already broken free from the hunters and ran towards the fire, while pulling out the guide from her waist.

"Diamond Star!" She shouted, the cold emitted from the detractor weakening the flames slightly. She tried to use this gap to travel through, but was choked back by the billowing smoke - simple water-based guiding magic was not enough to cross the sea of smoke and fire.

"Don't do anything stupid—" called Garcia, and at this moment, as if she had made up her mind, she made her way towards the depths of the flames and smoke.

If it weren't for Helliga arriving in time.

"Garcia is right." At some point, Heliga came out of nowhere and lightly pointed his finger on Martha's back - the pain made Martha's body soften instantly, and he was helped up by Heliga before falling to the ground, "Don't risk it." I'll help you see them. ”

......Before Martha could react, Heliga's figure had already pierced the flames - and then, with a burst of intense flashes, Heliga reappeared outside the ruins.

"One is no longer good." Heliga looked at Martha and said apologetically, "The other one is lucky...... He dodged the fatal wound, but inhaled a large amount of impurities from the fire and fell into a coma. I'm going to feed him some medicine...... As for whether she can survive or not, it depends on the meaning of the goddess. ”

With that, Heliga gently placed the man on the ground, and then looked at Garcia. The latter understood what he meant before Heliga could ask.

"Actually......" Garcia briefly brushed things through. Heiliga nodded, signaling that he understood—at this moment, Martha and the others were already hurriedly carrying the seriously injured member away on an improvised stretcher, "I don't know how many of them still have ......"

"They're going to pay the price." Heliga said simply, not loud, but sonorous.

“…… Shooting was from the direction of the north-west. The specific personnel and the type of weapon used are unknown, and it is speculated that they are common military guided mortars on the market - but in terms of power, they do not look like imperial products, and should be brought by the hunting regiment itself - therefore, they should be very talented hunters. ”

"Thank you for the information." Heiliga said lightly.

"Wait a minute...... And also. Seeing that Heliga was about to move in the direction Garcia was pointing, he hurriedly said, "Actually, just now, there was news from your father and their side......
