Chapter 874 - What's That Noise?
The moment all rescue units confirmed their mission status as successful, now it was time for phase 2 of tonight’s operation.
Instantly, several reports and commands were issued via their Walkie Talkies.
"Team Beta to Control Tower.
The puppies are free.
Preparing to move in now."
"Roger that team Beta.
Over."
"This is Ground Beta to all Beta Air forces.
The puppies are free.
Beginning phase 2 now."
"Roger that ground Beta."
We’ll disperse and keep a lookout for any escapees.
Over."
"All right, men.
Let’s move out!"
In a flash, the war table and vehicles with heavy machine guns advanced, while a certain group stayed behind in formation at a certain distance all around the camp.
This way, those that did manage to flee would still get caught by the soldiers.
Now, everyone was prepared for the grand finale.
.
Drrrrrrrrrrrrhhhh
The noise from the moving vehicles disrupted the ever silent night within the camp.
Eh?
What the devil was going on?
Was there some sort of animal outside causing such a loud ruckus?
Many within the camp were very confused by these strange noises.
They began wondering if whatever it was threatening or not.
Because if it was, then how come not a single person out of the 600 watchmen or scouts had run back to report the matter.
And if it were really dangerous, those at the gates would have at least heard the screams or shouts echoing through the night if any of their men were in battle.
This was just too bizarre.
Or was this phenomenon just like the glowy stars above?
The sounds seem to come from all directions around the camp, so was this some sort of sign?
The enemy was utterly confused.
Enemy Commander Holt jumped out of bed and hurriedly wore his shoes while hopping.
And as he hastily dressed up, he attentively listened to his most trusted subordinates before him.
Why?
That was because its position in nature would give it off
So it was a waste to build a base here.
.
"Hmm.
Be it beast or even Ghosts; we have to take action now.
So are the men prepared?"
"Yes, Commander.
Everyone is currently making their way towards the gate."
"Good.
What about the gate itself?
Has it been closed yet?"
"This...
Commander, that’s one of the reasons why I’m here.
From the report I just received from the guards, none of the watches have returned.
So do we still love them out?"
"Yes.
If there is any danger out there, they, as Deifer warriors, should be able to take it.
If they do die, then they would’ve died honourably.
I know that you’re worried about our lack of watchmen after this, but at this point, that’s the best plan of action now."
"But Commander, those watchmen were specifically trained for their duties.
So if we lose all 600, then won’t we lose 8/10th of our scouts and watchmen?
How are we going to continue coping until we are requested for battle?"
"You see, my problem with you is that you only keep thinking about the future and forgetting about the present.
For all we know, we could be facing something severe.
So what’s losing a few watchmen if it would let us see another day?
Don’t forget.
We have over 17,000 people here.
So what’s losing a measly 600 if it would keep the rest alive?
We are here, in wait for King Julius’s death and assist our master in ascending the throne.
So if we all fall now, then wouldn’t we have failed our mission?
In times like this, sacrifices must be made.
Do you understand what to do now?"
"Yes, Commander!"
.
With that, they ran out to find the source of these strange noises.
What could it be?
