Chapter 397: general cable

Boom!

In the headquarters of the Radan Ministry of Finance, a fierce battle was currently going on as both parties directly abandoned all safety and let themselves become unrestrained.

Machine gunshots filled the battlefield, heavy artillery vehicles released their loads without restraints under the control of the operators.

The cacophonic sound of soldiers embroiled in a heated battle was dominant in this once diplomatic headquarters.

All the workers in the huge headquarters were already evacuated underground by the soldiers. This created an undiluted atmosphere of battle for them to dine in.

Jack kept on barking orders at the mercenaries as they adjusted into better positions to attack the weak points of the Radan soldiers.

Right now, the more chaotic melee battle has not started yet as both sides were still trying out themselves from a safe range.

Due to the proximity of the ministry of finance’s headquarters to the Presidential villa, reinforcement was already coming in huge waves but the mercenaries were not flustered.

Despite how heated the battle already was, they were still composed. Compared to battles that they’ve encountered in the past, this was probably one of the easiest.

They were more accustomed to battling against soldiers with gadgets and weapons of the same standards as them, suddenly coming to a low-grade country was like degrading the difficulty from hell to hard for them.

Despite the overwhelming advantage that they had against the soldiers protecting the ministry headquarters, they did not push their luck and try to take it in one fell swoop.

They fought like Night Rakshashas; calmly baiting their opponent with deliberate weak attacks until they exposed their weak point, then they will erupt and bite as hard as a Lion.

Zoom!

The first vehicle reinforcement from the Presidential villa finally arrived. Armed to the teeth, the soldiers dropped down from the vehicles like a colony of ants as they advanced in droves at their aggressors.

Every unit had a designated leader that gave orders, the chain of command was systematic and organized as the soldiers advanced in clusters.

“Now!”

Jack finally growled out the order that all the mercenaries were anticipating.

He pulled out his sword from its sheath, said a short prayer to his God, before rushing out into the CenterPoint of the battlefield with his comrades.

The clash finally started for real, both parties quickly got embroiled in a battle royale that spread across kilometers.

This was the same situation across the Radan republic as the notable government buildings were all subjected to unending attacks from the mercenaries, and the freedom fighters.

Having operated in the country for years, some assassins of the old warriors club even knew the strategic crooks and corners of the country than the official soldiers.

Paired with their valuable knowledge, they were able to direct and help their allies plan seamless advancements and retreats if the situation went contrary.

Like this, they became akin to a bee hovering around the huge ears of the Radan army. Left with no choice, the army had to mobilize even more of its reserve soldiers to curb this country-wide attack.

Slowly but surely, the soldiers were being pushed without their consent to follow the script that they wrote in their elaborate attack plan.

…

In the Presidential Villa, a huge feast was currently going on in the outer court as the President and all his close relatives and friends enjoyed the refreshing aura of Christmas.

The atmosphere had a harmonious vibe to it, food and drinks kept on being brought by the designated chefs with no end to them. The children had a banquet that was specially organized for them.

Laughter filled the air; carefreeness and a sense of superiority filled all the participants of the feast.

Unknowing to most guests in the feast, as they feasted, the country was already in flames but even if they knew they wouldn’t have cared.

What concerned them about the affairs of the country?

If the situation became too serious, they could just travel abroad to the luxurious vacation countries and spend a nice time there.

Amidst this atmosphere, they didn’t know that they were already targeted.

…

Click! Clack!

After traveling a few kilometers under the ground, the mini-train finally came to a stop. As soon as the assassins came down from the mini-train, they saw a spiraling staircase that led up.

Without saying a word, number 1 who was Captain Drake took the lead and started climbing the staircase.

As they moved, they activated strong jamming devices that left the atmosphere around them filled with strong interference currents.

Every assassin in the group was in stealth armor. Through the channels of the Pendragon mercenary group, Captain Drake just had to pay the money and the needed gadgets for the operation were bought.

In 2 minutes, they got to the surface.

Observing their surroundings, they were now before the enormous black gate of the Presidential Villa. Carefully covering the camouflaged opening back, all 10 of them rapidly started moving towards the gate.

The clueless soldiers manning the gate had no idea as the assassins blatantly infiltrated the Presidential villa under their watch.

Without letting out a single sound, the 10 assassins continued their infiltration. Avoiding the main road leading through the villa, they infiltrated through the garden which had slightly looser surveillance.

They moved swiftly like ghosts in a haunted castle.

…

In the big mansion belonging to General Cable of the Radan army that was close to the Presidential Villa, the General sat on his chair as he looked at a device before him with a serious expression on his face.

Green lights flowed through the mirror-like device. As he patiently waited and watched it without blinking, the device suddenly beeped and the green lights distorted before turning to red at a certain point.

Seeing this, the General was startled at first before a grin overcame his face. “Drake, Daniella, the 2 of you really have the guts”.

Having suspected Ares due to some reasons, he decided to put him under special surveillance. And to his surprise, the Corporal was really abnormal.

Immediately after he caught this clue, he decided to use him as his iron rod to punish the old warriors club. He allowed the soldier to continue his spy work while he monitored all his actions.

Through him, he was able to plan ahead and he installed a special detection device across the Presidential villa.

Now, his speculation was confirmed. The club’s target was the President. This action radiated a sense of stupid stubbornness, now he wanted to know what gave his old comrade the courage to take that bold step.

He suddenly stood up from his chair. “Bring me my weapon”.

“Yes, General”.
