Volume 3: Shadow War Chapter 28: Life and Death

Alberta was hiding under the window, his heart was so anxious that he tried to turn off the lights in his room, but the light switch was too far away...... Alberta did not dare to take risks.

If the lights in the room are always on, it means that Alberta will always be under target from enemy sniper rifles......

It was at this moment that Alberta saw a vent on the side of the window. The architecture of this room is also real and strange, with the vents built just below the bedside of the room. Alberta took advantage of the cover of the wall to get under the vents. He kicked the vent open, and at that point, Alberta quickly disengaged from the vent......

When he came to the vent, he only felt himself slip down the vent in an instant! By the time he could react again, he had already appeared at the vent on the ground floor......

Alberta kicked the vent exhaust again. He staggered out of the exhaust vent...... He tried to attack the building from the other side of the street where someone was sniping at him, but just then, a sniper bullet hit the wall behind Alberta's hideout!

Alberta even suspected that the man had some kind of night vision, and Alberta waited a little longer, he hid behind the wall, but at this very moment, Alberta took out a stone and threw it outside. It was at this moment that Alberta threw the pebble outside, and he did not hear the gunshot. Alberta had the audacity to take off his clothes, and took his own clothes, carried them with a stick on the ground, and stretched them out......

Immediately afterward, he did not hear the gunshots...... Alberta was relieved, he hurriedly put on his clothes, and then went outside as fast as he could, running to the building opposite.

Just when he arrived at the building, he only found a few 7.7mm caliber rifle cartridge casings, Alberta looked at the rifle cartridge casings, and he thought of the Imperial Sniper for a moment!

Most of the sniper rifles used by the Reich were 7.7 mm caliber, and he hurried back to the hotel with a cartridge case for the Reich gun.

Alberta thought that perhaps it was not the people sent by the Empire, but its forces that blamed the Empire! But Alberta thinks about it, who has the guts to blame the Empire? And this is too much like the practice of the Empire, assassination with its own guns......

Alberta didn't understand why the Empire wanted to assassinate him. Could it be that his identity has been revealed? At this moment, the eastern skyline revealed a pale pink color, and Alberta immediately understood that it was daylight, and the assassins did not dare to kill during the day, so Alberta escaped......

He quickly returned to the inn, where the innkeeper kept scolding Alberta and asking him for money for the "glass". Alberta should claim yes, and then he returned to the room as fast as he could, removing the trick set up in the doorway.

After Alberta dismantled the mine, he found that the mine was a tandem structure, and he was a little puzzled, why did the mine-laying technology used in such a sophisticated assassination method be so low?

He didn't understand it very much, but he found that the arrangement of the thunderbolt was quite exquisite! Because the moment he stepped out of the door, due to the position of the steel wire, he would definitely rub the steel wire, and at this moment, once he stepped on the steel wire, the mechanism arranged in the doorway would be activated to prevent the explosion above the door from falling, and it would explode near Alberta's head......

Alberta felt fear when he thought about it...... Thankfully, he was alert enough and was very fatal...... Alberta paid for the inn and compensated the owner for the silver coins, and then he went out into the street, and for Alberta, who was temporarily safe, he looked at the street as if he had experienced a local conflict...... Rubble and smoke were everywhere...... What he longs for in Alberta may be to restore peace and stability to the country......

At this moment, the skyline revealed red, and the distant sunrise rose, and it seemed that everything was shrouded in the dawn of the day, slowly waking up.

Alberta came to a newsstand casually walking down the streets of Abercinka, and Alberta looked at the newsstand owner's blank eyes, and he said to the boss, "I need an up-to-date newspaper." ”

The newsstand owner gave Alberta a newspaper in disgrace. At this time, Alberta is carefully watching the latest situation above! When he saw that there was a serious conflict in the town of Artemt, the northern town of the Akron Yatin Parliament, he suddenly had an idea! Maybe...... It was the foundation on which he could build a wealthy company that could intervene in conflicts everywhere!

Thinking of this, Alberta immediately set off for Artemte. Although Alberta was very concerned about the sniper who had set up the deceit and wanted his life...... But timing didn't give much time to Alberta, who sat on the train and watched the town of Artemt along the way......

Of course, want to get to Artemt. It's not just about taking the train...... There is also a need to ride in horse-drawn carriages and donkey carts for quite some time.

Because all trains were built by empires, other countries did not have this technology. Hence the laying of tracks, the driving of steam trains, and so on...... It's all an imperial franchise.

After the Epale War, the Empire built a large number of railways, and in half a year, the Empire established a large number of railways in almost all parts of the city of Artemt, especially the important transportation towns.

Alberta didn't understand how the empire could build infrastructure so quickly in half a year. When Alberta thought about it, he came back to his senses, because the steam train was about to arrive, and Singert City was the last stop on Alberta's way to Artemt. On the train, Alberta gave a detailed analysis of the battle in Artemt. He got off the train and prepared to find a local carriage to go to the town of Artemt.

……

Just as Alberta was on his way to the town of Artemt, it was 8:31 a.m. on March 25, 903 A.D. The town of Artemt.

A detachment of cavalry, numbering about five hundred men, entered the town of Artemt. These cavalrymen rode tall horses with Carpillots, dressed in Dorman uniforms, jackets worn over the slower uniforms, and slanted cloaks with golden embroidered edges representing the supreme kingship, fiery red ribbons, and medals representing the royal power. The cavalrymen were dressed in breeches and wore plain black uniforms, and since it was autumn, the horses had blue embroidered trim on their saddles and white cashmere blankets.

The pistol they wore at the waist position, and at the neck of the horse to the diagonal bottom of the saddle, there was a diagonal belt across it, and on the oblique belt was a waist knife, the scabbard of the waist knife was silvery-white, and the silver edge pattern made of sterling silver was on it, and the body of the waist knife was cast from a forged iron alloy, and the iron was sharpened like mud, and it was extremely sharp! In particular, the knife grip of the blade has a golden, pure gold embroidered knife grip on the hand of the gold edge texture. Their group of 500 cavalrymen also had gold trimmed buttons on their breeches, and on Shako's cap was a huge falcon with a thorny rose in its mouth, a symbol of royal power unique to the Akron Diet, and a special symbol that only the royal family could carry: the rose falcon charm!

In other words, this cavalry is the most elite palace cavalry unit in the Aaron Parliament! Although the Akron Yatin State has a large parliament that determines the direction of the decision-making of the Akronya Diet, the difference between the Akron Yatin State and other Courts is that the Akron Yatin State retains the royal family, and the royal family also occupies a large part of the decision-making power.

Therefore, the cavalry troops that the Akron Yatin Council can send to the important town of Artemt in the north of the border are only these 500 royal guards......

When the elite cavalry of the Akron Yating Nation arrived in the town of Artemt, the battalion commander, Major Hoklaide, was shocked by the sight of the once-prosperous and peaceful town of Artemt, now in ruins...... Flames burned everywhere and there were ruins everywhere...... Occasionally, there are crumbling ruins of the walls, which are constantly collapsing due to the instability of the building due to the absence of the other half of the houses......

Major Arpad Hoklid watched this scene with a choked mind...... In particular, the bodies of some townspeople in the streets were crushed by the collapsed debris, leaving only one arm outside...... The Major was terrified...... On the other hand, I was heartbroken for what happened to the townspeople of Artemt......

The adjutant of the elite cavalry battalion was the major's nephew, 21-year-old Lieutenant Aikman Hoclaide. The lieutenant was too young to have experienced the war, but the lieutenant performed well in the barracks, and because of his uncle, the lieutenant could become an adjutant in the elite cavalry battalion at the age of 21, and at the same time became a lieutenant, serving as a platoon leader in the first platoon of the cavalry battalion.

At this moment, a light rain began to fall in the sky, and the light rain continued to wash away the blood and corpses on the ground......

Lieutenant Aikman Hokride watched as the light rain fell, the blood in the dirt, and the mud mixed with blood...... There were also blood stains from dilapidated houses and rubble...... The lieutenant's face turned pale, and he saw corpses lying everywhere, some of them even disheveled from the impact of the artillery...... Others struggled, suffered, and even rolled on the ground due to the release of incendiary shells, which burned their bodies! The men were charred and curled up in a ball......

Lieutenant Aikman Hockey saw this tragic scene, and his face was bloodless...... He had once aspired to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, but now the smell of blood in the air alone made him feel the harvest of death and the Death Scythe! Such a fear......

The smell of war enveloped the battlefield, and the smell of smoke made the breath of death come to the face...... Death is on the horizon and can be reached at any time!
