Chapter 2: Plunder
The enemy attack was so fast that no one expected it.
But in fact, this is not an emergency at all - the three detachments of the "Red Constellation" have already been lying in ambush around, just waiting for an order from the two captains.
In the eyes of the members of the "Black Moon", a large number of reinforcements have finally arrived, and they are about to breathe a sigh of relief - a single cannonball has accurately landed in the warehouse. In an instant, a deafening explosion, like a loud slap in the face, was slammed into the faces of those who thought they could relax.
- It's not a war, but it's a battlefield where the "Red Constellation" is located.
"Enemy attack!" Although he was a little flustered, the person in charge of the warehouse area still reacted, "Hurry up! Organize a counterattack! ”
"Report...... Well, they just launched an artillery attack from a distance, and they didn't really kill it......" said the member standing on the warehouse watchtower - this seemingly decisive order was actually the product of panic, and the person in charge of the order didn't even know where the opponent was.
"In that case......," he said indignantly, trying to hide his embarrassment in an angry tone, "everyone! Find a strong place to hide from the next round of shelling! In addition, we will spare manpower to protect the important materials in warehouses 2 and 7! Move them to a safe place! ”
Chaotic orders, get naturally chaotic execution - what is a solid place? What is a safe place? The people under him are completely confused about this, and I am afraid that even the person who gave the order does not know much about it. This can't be blamed on them, when this warehouse was built, it was only a precaution against petty thieves, and the usual guards can also be said to be bored, idle, and have no tension at all, who would have thought that today they would be attacked at the level of the regular armies of many countries?
In the confusion, another shell landed accurately in the warehouse area, blowing up the dust again. At the same time, loud and sporadic footsteps and gunfire could be heard outside the warehouse.
——————————————————————————
"This invasion is going as smoothly as usual......," the communications soldier listened excitedly to the battle report from there, staring at the two captains who were still using binoculars to observe the faint fire in the distance, "and with the help of the new portable guide gun, the other side fell into unprecedented chaos." ”
"Well done." Without looking back, the captain complimented, "Tell them to blast open all the warehouse doors and burn everything inside—especially the flare crystals, which our employer told us to do." ”
"Yes." The signal soldier accurately transmitted the order to the other detachments, and then asked with some confusion, "But...... Those Flare Crystals...... It doesn't seem like it can be traded as a commodity, and it can't be made into a strategic material such as a circuit, right? Why would employers be interested in this......"
"Before you ask this, didn't you notice that the Black Moon warehouse actually has a large amount of this stock?" The captain said lukewarmly, "Since they did this, there must be something going on behind the scenes—we don't need to know that, just do our job." ”
"Yes." The Signal Soldier said immediately.
"Speaking of which...... Today seems to be a little different than usual. Another squad leader spoke, "I remember that they would send people to harass us before...... We will only leave here to attack them after observing the appearance of their sweeping forces, so as to attract a large number of opponents and provide opportunities for further plundering for our men...... But now it seems that they did not mean to do so. ”
"Finally learned to be smart, do you know that there is no point in doing this?" The man sneered, "But does that change?" It's just a little bit longer...... It's not impossible to rely on the three of them just to ......"
"But be careful about the losses in battle." The person next to him reminded, "The reward for this operation is only 50 million meters...... If there are too many lost manpower and wasted ammunition, the deputy regiment commander will not be happy. ”
"Hmph...... The deputy commander will only indulge his own daughter to waste casually on the battlefield. The man snorted coldly, obviously dissatisfied with Sigmund, "If Young Master Randiv is still here, which round will get him." ”
"Alright...... There's no way to do it about Young Master Lantif...... Since he himself is unwilling, it is indeed ......" For this matter, it is obvious that both of them have their own troubles, "Originally, the deputy head of the regiment was only good at fighting and not good at business...... Over the past few years, we've made far more sorties than usual......"
"If you don't do this, you probably won't be able to maintain such a large force...... But fortunately, these employers are very generous...... When he was in the west before, wasn't that Grand Duke also 50 million mira as soon as he made a move? ”
"That's right...... It's not a long-term solution, but I can understand it......" Sighing, and taking his emotions away from these things, he put away his binoculars and shouted at the top of his voice, "Since they can't learn to be good—then let's take the initiative." With us in the fight, we should be able to get it over sooner—huh? ”
Before the words fell, it seemed that someone was maliciously peeping in secret, making the captain who spoke a chill behind him. The morale-boosting words came to an abrupt end, and at this moment, he was peeking around suspiciously, the hills that made this highland stand out, and he was puzzled.
"What's wrong? Zax? The person next to him asked with some confusion, "Did you find anything?" ”
“…… It's nothing. Zax, who didn't feel anything after watching for a while, finally shook his head, "Maybe what I said just now made me think a little bit about Captain Randif...... I'm sorry. ”
"Hey...... After all, you used to be his vice-captain. "It's nothing...... It's just that I'm on the battlefield for a while, but I can't be affected by things outside my body like this anymore. ”
"Battlefield? You're wrong. A strange smile appeared on the corner of Zax's mouth, "With the ability of Black Moon, it is nothing more than a more advanced prey - let the prey escape, or accidentally be scratched by it...... It's a shame for a hunter. ”
"Whew...... Also. That's what you look like. The companion also smiled reassuringly, "So, let's finish what we just didn't finish—
"Take the initiative and attack in order from north to south, so as to destroy these three warehouses! If all goes well, tomorrow we can leave for our return and receive the appreciation of the deputy head of the regiment! ”
"Oh!"
“yes! sir! ”
The brief cheers of the hunters flickered, and everyone automatically entered battle mode. The sophistication in that gaze is not something that ordinary hunters can have.
Seeing this scene, the figure hidden in the bushes also showed a smile of joy when he saw the hunt.
