The other Alpha team members moved fast, arranging the corpses to their previous poses, and making it seem as if nothing was wrong. It's going to be discovered as soon as someone gets close, but it's still better than leaving them lying down, which is a lot more conspicuous.
After their setup, the three of them moved fast, sneaking through the shadows, and making their way to the Mayor's Tower.
"Urk!"
*Thud!*
And as if it were natural to Zena, enemy sentries were taken down in a flash. Corpses were chopped to pieces, and thrown into bins scattered around the city, leaving no "evidence" behind.
It was a mystery how not even a drop of blood was left at the scene, confusing even the two others behind her.
Of course, due to their methods, anomalies would quickly be detected. Regular reports were required for guards, and from observing before, they had 10-minute intervals between each report.
The groups that Zena targeted, of course, were the ones who just finished reporting, earning them the most time they could before getting discovered. However...
"It's still too far!"
The mayor's tower was about a kilometer away from the east entrance. And currently, they have spent three minutes to travel just 200 meters. They were still far from their target, but only had 7 minutes left before their infiltration was detected!
'Killing the guards was a mistake,'
All three of them thought this, but of course, Zena didn't want to admit that her methods were wrong. She has been going with this method ever since, so it's a proven method for her!
"Right!" But then, an idea appeared in her head. "If their tower controller just died, then we're going to earn more time~!"
"..."
And with another of her psychopathic solutions, their direction changed, moving toward the place where the sentries were gathering. A guardhouse, per se.
"Watch the entrance. Eliminate any that tries to get in, or out," Zena commanded with a crazed smile before she dissolved into the darkness like a shadow.
The Underground Prison was located three kilometers from the north entrance, so them being two-thirds of the way already was still considered fast. However, for an infiltration mission, they were already nearing overtime. Either of the two teams, who had their targets closer to the entrance, could end up triggering the security and compromising the mission.
The more time passes, the riskier it gets!
"Let's double our pace!" Faeloria declared.
Only one kilometer was left, and they will arrive at their target facility. However, the closer they got, the more complicated the patrols became. But with Faeloria's abilities, they slipped past the sentries undetected, even though they were literally slipping past them.
Faeloria's ability was something similar to what Lorelai used before, erasing her presence from anyone who saw her. But she wasn't using brainwashing, but instead, simply taking advantage of one's subconscious mind.
She wasn't even using magic or spells. Only pure skills, playing with the sentries' subconscious mind, and misdirection in play.
Just like magic, the four of them reached the facility after eight minutes more, undetected. However, they couldn't get close just yet, as the cameras surrounding the facility didn't have a blind spot.
"Kelek, it's your turn." But Faeloria was prepared for it.
One of their members, Kelek of the Black Numbers, was an expert in information warfare. In short, a hacker. With his skills, breaking the firewalls and taking control of the cameras for a while was not hard, but not easy either.
"I need one minute!" He declared as he pulled out his Holo Tab, expanding its holographic display, and pulling out two keyboards. "Please guard me for one whole minute!"
"Don't worry," Faeloria smiled, reassuring him. "Leave it to me."
Right then, he quickly hacked through the wifi signals and entered the enemy's mainframe. Entering and messing everything up was easy, but doing it without letting the other party realize what was happening? That's what he's doing.
Time passed, and soon, a full minute came.
"It's done!" Kelek declared, wiping the sweat off his forehead. "The cameras wouldn't be picking on our figures for 30 minutes!"
"Good job."
Faeloria quickly pulled out a wand out of her thigh holder and sharpened her gaze. "Then, we will now infiltrate the prison!"
