Chapter 866: Hunting for Shade (23)
As the unexpected explosion rocked the town hall, a sense of urgency swept through the abandoned city.
Criminal guards and patrols, previously stationed at strategic points throughout the ruins, began converging towards the source of the disturbance, eager to understand what was happening.
"Things shouldn't go like this," Ramon said.
"When did things go according to plans for us?"
Ramon's mind, however, was already elsewhere. "Let's take care of those patrols. Erik can't fight against so many people at once, even with his strength."
The two then jumped off their building and descended to the streets.
Amid this chaos, the other Band of Giants' special agents sprang into action.
Their mission was clear: to kill the patrols approaching the town hall and ensure Erik and June had the best chance of getting Shade without external interruptions.
The agents moved with stealth, their footsteps barely making a sound. They moved like phantoms, their presence known only by the faintest rustle of their footsteps.
The ruins, with their broken walls and overgrown pathways, offered many hiding spots and vantage points, which the agents exploited to their advantage.
One group of guards had been killed.
Without a single word exchanged, the agents had descended upon them, their swift and precise strikes leaving the guards dead before they could raise an alarm.
Without leaving a single trace, the bodies were brought into the shadows, ensuring their disappearance from both the physical realm and the collective memory of all who bore witness.
Further ahead, another patrol scanned their surroundings with drawn weapons.
They heard something. When the explosion occurred at the town hall, they knew someone was present in the deserted city. Someone followed or found them all the way here.Updated chapters at novelhall.com
"Besides, it is clear these guys thought well what to do in case something happened. They are not simply rushing to the town hall, they are moving as if they have a plan in mind. Not that I didn't expect that, but..."
Rebecca's optimism waned. The slight dip of her shoulders and the slight bite of her lower lip conveyed her growing concern.
"But what?"
"But I didn't think they would... Tsk..."
Rebecca nodded in acknowledgement, fully aware of the seriousness and importance of the decision that needed to be made.
Laria then reached into her pocket and pulled out her communicator. Her nimble fingers dialed the numbers, contacting a group of agents.
Once the connection was established, she confidently began giving out a series of detailed orders.
"Move team 1 to sector 12, team 2, provide cover for team 3 as they retreat to sector 7. We're going to regroup and fortify our position around the town hall."
As Laria's orders echoed through the communicator, a sense of urgency swept through the assembled mercenaries.
Each member of the group was highly trained and possessed the skill to adapt to any changing circumstances.
The mention of a new tactic, especially one as bold as creating a barrier around the town hall, sparked a renewed focus among them, but also worry.
Laria shifted her gaze towards Rebecca, her previously indifferent expression now transformed into one filled with resolute determination.
"We're going to create a barrier around the town hall. It's a risky move, but it's the best chance we have to control the flow of these criminals and protect Erik and June."
Rebecca was taken aback by the audacity of the plan, but she had complete faith in Laria's decision-making abilities.
As the chaos unfolded around them, she observed Laria's unwavering confidence and steady voice as she continued to command her troops.
"Team 5 and 6 prepare to clear the northern entrance. Team 7, you're on sniper duty. Take position on the rooftops surrounding the square and take down as many fuckers as possible. We need eyes on every approach," Laria said, her strategy taking shape with every command.
