"Second thing is make sure that Markus and other team members are well protected. Professor will never shoot me so I am in the most safe condition right now. But I can't risk you over that. So protect yourselves and others, don't pay any attention towards me." Kizy said.
And though all of them nodded to her statement, they all knew that they were never going to risk her safety this way.
"We are reaching the shore. Let's leave quickly before the smoke settles down and we become easy targets." Kizy gave her last order before getting ready for her descent, checking upon all her guns while getting into her position.
All other team members stood ramrod behind Kizy, ready to fire and take the bullet for her at the same time. Afterall Kizy had earned their respect through her act and not by some mere title, so how could they leave her in the final battle.
And with that, their ship finally reached the shore. Kizy with others instantly went all out, leaving the boat for the second half of the team to cover fire.
But something unexpected happened the moment they stepped on the land. Kizy, who was supposed to lead her group suddenly felt nauseous and the next moment she ran towards the corner before vomiting her already empty guts.
All the men were so worried about her, especially Joel, that they neglected their own safety.
And the next minute, four of their men, including Joel, were shot by the snipers, giving Kizy and her team no time to react.
"No!!" Kizy shouted, but it was very late.
"Protect young madam!" Joel still shouted back without paying attention to his own wound, holding his bleeding left arm which was shot seconds ago.
Within seconds all of them stood like pillars in front of Kizy, protecting her.
And Kizy couldn't blame herself anyless. Four shots in the very beginning, that too because of her sick state was no good for their time at the moment.
"No don't-" Kizy was still speaking when two more shots were heard in succession, making her heart beat louder.
Thankfully it wasn't her team anymore. Their group, which was still on board, had taken down two enemy snipers with those two shots, giving them a little breather.
"Joel." Kizy called out, her tone unusual.
"Yes young madam." Joel replied while still watching ahead, fully in alert mode now.
"Move aside." Kizy said in her queen-like voice.
Before Joel could even react or stop her, Kizy had already stepped ahead, her hairs dancing to the rhythm of wind, her jacket in sync, and her gun pointed ahead with that killer smirk on her face - yes, Diamond was back!
And without any further ado, Kizy shot ahead, receiving a scream in return.
"Joel and you all first take care of your wounds. I am not allowing anyone with injuries to follow me." Kizy said in a bossy manner, making all other men admire her even more.
She walked a little more, making all other men follow her behind the trees, taking proper covers.
"But young madam-" Joel was still speaking when Kizy cut him off.
"This is an order. No buts entertained." Kizy said without looking at Joel, taking another step ahead.
"Decide now. Either you return back or come with me with tended wounds." Kizy said, her voice softening a little, but eyes looking still sharply ahead.
"We will treat our wounds first." Joel instantly answered, understanding how serious Kozy was, plus knowing they didn't have much time at hand.
"Better." Kizy said before pressing the button on her bluetooth earpiece.
"This is Kizy. Are you listening, Leo?" Kozy said, talking to the captain of the half team which was left on board.
"Yes lady boss, I am listening." Leo instantly replied.
"I can spot some movements at your right hand side, approximately at fifty degree's angle. I guess it might be a sniper. Please check." Kizy said while pointing her gun towards the left shooting once again before rustling of leaves and a thud was heard.
Joel and others without wasting any more time instantly took out the first aid kit, ready to take their bullets out.
They were about to open their wounds when Kizy turned back, saving one of them in time.
"You wait!" Kizy said, her voice a little high pitched.
"What happened, lady boss?" The man with a shot on his right thigh stopped midway, a little confused.
"You can not remove that bullet." Kizy said after calming herself down a little.
The man did not say anything, but Kizy could clearly understand his confusion.
"The bullet is located in the region of the artery. If it has truly punctured the blood vessel, then you will bleed uncontrollably once the bullet is out. We don't have proper management for that. So I can not allow you to remove that bullet and risk your life by losing all blood." Kizy explained while turning back ahead from time to time, not wanting another mishap to occur.
"Can I join with my injured leg then?" The man asked, not caring even a little about his own wound.
"No." Kizy said, knowing full well that this would make him sad.
"I understand, lady boss. I won't be a burden to you all then." He said, his voice dying down by the end as he lowered his head.
"Satan's men can never be a burden to anyone. Anyways I have another task for you." Kizy said, making the man instantly lift his head.
"Yes ladyboss!!" He replied in full energy.
"Wait till Markus and others reach here and notify me. I need to reach there before he does. Will you do that?" Kizy asked, her voice turning a little polite.
And though the task seemed too little for a tough man like him, who had been serving Markus for years, he still nodded his head proudly, knowing Kizy was doing this to make him feel better.
This definitely earned Kizy respect on another level, for taking in mind about all her teammates even when she didn't know him personally or maybe that wasn't even her job right now.
"Yes ladyboss, I will do it." He replied in a stern tone.
Kizy took out two small glass bottles from her pocket, which had a bluish liquid inside it.
"Have this. The bullets must be poisonous from my knowledge about the professor. You all pour this over your open wounds." Kizy said while passing one of the bottles to Joel.
"And you. Drink this completely since the bullet is still inside your body. Make sure you don't get shot twice." Kizy said while passing the bottle to that man.
"Thank.. thank you lady boss." And for the very first time, the young hot blooded man stuttered, unable to know how someone with such a golden heart could lead teams to destroy lands.
"Let's move now. We can not waste anymore time." Kizy said in a flustered state, unable to take the gratitude that the man was showing.
"Yes young madam." Joel replied after giving his wound basic first aid.
With that the troop started their war journey once again, which was a little easier due to the killing of snipers from the Professor's side.
Kizy and others moved in quick speeds, which only increased after watching the main headquarters.
*MARKUS's SHIP*
"Boss, ladyboss's team has landed." Team Charlie Captain informed Markus.
"Contact the captain on that ship." Markus said in a cold voice, knowing that he won't be able ro stop Kizy anymore.
The man instantly tried contacting them, only to be left speechless.
"What happened?" Markus asked, knowing things were going downhill from the man's expression.
"The captain is still their onboard. Only half of the team along with Ladyboss and Joel sir have landed." The captain answered, knowing full well about how everyone was about to face Satan's wrath.
"Boss we have bad news!!" Suddenly another man from Team charlie informed.
Markus went and instantly took the binoculars himself, not wanting to hear anymore bad news from others.
And the scene he saw was enough to freeze not only the Imperial Nation but the entire world from his cold aura.
------------------
First of all, thank you all for waiting patiently. I guess I am good to go now. For the past few days I have been having mental breakdowns for varied reasons and somehow I wanted to hold onto this book a little longer. But a lil bit of self reflection taught me that maybe it would be better to end this soon and give you all another book to hang on. FTMTD will of course have a very very very special place in my heart for being my first book, but that doesn't mean I keep on making you all wait. So here I am, ready to end this book (my baby book🥺). Once again thank you so so sksks very much for waiting.�
