Three big, burly men in military uniforms without flags or any identification to know which country they came from. Their movement was calm and steady their eyes swept the area around them warily, as a former soldier Garrof and Lloyd quickly recognized that these people must be ghost soldiers.
It's a call for soldiers who engaged in high covert operations.
Garrof and Lloyd's attention was too absorbed by the arrival of the ghost soldiers they don't realize Mary already returned, and all of a sudden the adjunction door between the office and the small shop slammed open.
"Mary!"
The young man's voice startled Garrof and Lloyd they immediately remembered they were still civilians around them.
"Marry hide!"
"Miss Mary go hide!"
both the young boy and Garrof spoke simultaneously then they looked at each other in surprise.
"You?" the boy agape
"Are you?" the same was as Garrof.
"They're coming!" Lloyd cut in.
"Jeremy!" Marry throws a silver gauntlet at the boy.
Garrof and the boy name Jeremy had no time to discuss, Jeremy immediately wears the gauntlet at the same time Garrof and Lloyd lift the concealing spell on their weapon then they immediately press their back on the wall next to the door, meantime Marry hides under the table.
The footsteps of the three people were getting closer, Garrof signaled Lloyd and Jeremy that he would attack first while the others ambushed the enemy afterward. Jeremy didn't know if Garrof is friend or foe but he had no choice but to bet on Garrof.
The office entrance creaked and then slowly opened, the man at the front entered first, he swept his gaze around the office but didn't see anyone, needled to say, he knew something is off.
Out of nowhere, Garrof lunged toward him just like a cannonball and the two of them tumbled down to the ground, the other soldiers were taken aback by Garrof's sudden attack causing them distracted for a second.
Taking that opportunity, Jeremy charged towards one of the soldiers and then threw a heavy punch at him, simultaneously Lloyd strikes the other soldier at high speed and then hurl him into the air, follow by slamming him to the ground.
It wasn't long before there was the sound of bones breaking, the man's neck was being twisted in a strange position then the soldier's lifeless body slid down from Garrof's arms. at the same time, Lloyd took out his dagger and then smoothly slit the man's carotid artery before the man could even scream.
Jeremy feels a surge of fear go up his spine as he watched Garrof and Lloyd kill those men without a slight hesitation, Jeremy too began to doubt whether his decision is right or not to trust these two strangers.
Garrof didn't care what Jeremy was thinking, "You don't kill him huh?" Garrof glanced at the fainting soldier.
"I...." words stuck in his throat, the truth is Jeremy didn't know if it was necessary.
"Your lucky" Lloyd said in a casual tone while walking towards the soldier who had fainted then looked around him then his gaze returned to the soldier lying on the ground "Your lucky this one is so easy to subdue" In his experience, Ghost soldier was always been the strongest, cruelest and more fanatic among their peers.
Mary came out of hiding, soon the color drained from her face as she saw the two corpses of soldiers lying on the ground, Jeremy saw her face she immediately take long strides toward her to calm her down.
"Are they looking for us or them?" Lloyd glanced at Mary who was being comforted by Jeremy.
"Who knows, we can ask him, though." Garrof slapped the unconscious man a few times as he woke him up "Rise and shine sleeping beauty, prince charming is Here!"
The cold sensation on her face roused her from his stupor, however, he was startled when he notice the muzzle of the gun pressed against his forehead.
"Good evening buddy, I have a question for you and you will answer it, okay" Garrof grinned wickedly.
The soldier gulped yet as a professional soldier he refused to give in easily "I will not tell you sh*t, you are all going to die anyway!" he scoffed.
Garrof exchanged glances with Lloyd who was standing not far from him in the middle of surveying his surroundings while Garrof interrogate their enemy.
With tacit understanding, Garrof pulls the muzzle from the soldier's face just before the soldier felt relieved Garrof lands a hard blow to the soldier's face.I think you should take a look at pandasnovel.com
The soldier cursed exasperatedly later on, blood dripping from his broken nose and once again Garrof placed the muzzle rifle back on the soldier's forehead "I don't have time to play around, as I said before, I asked - you answer, if not I will shoot you, clear and simple okay?" Garrof warned the arrogant soldier.
Mary stared at Garrof with a look of horror, in her opinion, Garrof didn't need to kill that poor man after all they weren't hurt beside the soldier already injured and his friends had been killed so why not just let him go?
Mary braced herself then carefully plead "Mis...mister Barrington, I think...I think we should just let him go, I don't think he won't dare to tell anyone..."
Her good intention makes Garrof raise his brows with an expression saying 'Are you nuts?!'
Mary felt embarrassed by Garrof's silent mockery, she then lowered her head though inwardly she still thought she was not wrong.
The soldier could feel the disagreement between them he laughed with a sneer "You heard the little lady? Please let me go and I will promise, I won't say anything to anyone" he was clearly mocking Mary for her naivety.
Mary's face blushed even more just like a boiled crab, Jeremy patted her on the shoulder trying to comfort her but the truth is he also thinks Mary's suggestion is a bit stupid, on the other hand, Garrof has lost his patience.
"Nah, this is a waste of my time" Garrof's finger prepared to press the trigger of his rifle
The soldier turned to panic "Hey, wait - wait, there must be something you want to ask right so ask!"
Garrof pursed his lips "Oh I thought you won't say Sh*t?" he retort sarcastically.
"It depends on your question brother," said the soldier.
"Is that so...brother?" Garrof scoffed.
The soldier pretended to cooperate with Garoof but the truth is he was trying to buy some time until the rest of his friends arrived he knew sooner or later they would be looking for him if they don't hear any news from him.
"Yeah, shoot whatever you want" the soldier pretended to surrender.
ƥandasnovel·ƈom "Okay...first thing first, why are you here?" Garrof questioned him.
"We here....because we got information about traitors in this area..." the soldier glance at Mary and Jeremy who were panic-stricken.
Garrof and Lloyd turn to disbelieve eyes at Jeremy and Mary, though Jeremy's ability is not bad but he doesn't have a gust nor demeanor of a soldier let alone a traitor, "Told you I don't have time to play game, here!" Garrof increased the pressure of the muzzle on the man's forehead.
The soldier who was afraid that Garrof would blow his head off, also hastily reassured Garrof, "The traitors are not them, but this girl's father, Samuel Albrecht!"
Garrof narrowed his eyes, he remembered someone by that name a long time ago because the news was everywhere.
Samuel Albrecht was the captain of the Luxemborough army unit called Black Fangs one of the most effective units Luxemborough ever had. Unfortunately, during his leave, he and his whole family reportedly died in a car accident which was known to be a tremendous loss for Luxemborough but that news immediately died down because a few weeks later Nazareth was awakened.
Garrof and Lloyd's expressions turned tense, they were dumbfounded by the truth that everyone who should have died suddenly came back to life, for god's shakes what other secret they stumbled on again?
"So you here for them, huh?" Garrof mumbled to himself.
The soldier furrowed his brows, he had a suspicion that Garrof and Lloyd were not part of Samuel Albretch's group, if only Garrof and Lloyd weren't here, it wouldn't be difficult to kill Albrecht and his family.
Suddenly they were startled by the sound of a gun that seemed to be coming from the airplane hangar.
"Dad!" Mary rushed towards the hangar in a hurry.
"Mary, wait!" Jeremy was stunned seeing her run thus he chased after her.
Garrof turned his gaze to the soldier who was grinning arrogantly.
"Hey, I know you're not one of them how about you let me go and I'll pretend nothing happened, I might even owe you" he persuaded Garrof.
Garrof paused for a second then sneered "Nah, I'm good" his index finger pressed the trigger in a blink of an eye a hot bullet went through the soldier's head, and blood spilled behind his head a moment later his back fell to the ground he doesn't even have a chance to close his eyes, yet.
