Chapter 213: Fallen Birds from the Sky

"So, over all 15 Lion pride soldiers, 10 communication officers. And 2 Lion pride guards that are guarding the main gate of the building. 23 enemies including the Lion Pride officer." Jin called for Qi Meili and Fang Shirong to come to him. They both reached Jin, Jin stare at their faces and said,

"Fang Shirong, I want you to take down the 2 Lion pride guards that are near the front gate of the building. Qi Meili, I want you to take down that Lion Pride officer with a single arrow."

Qi Meili replied "Copy that Sir, I will head towards to my position and eliminate that Lion pride officer."

Fang Shirong nodded as he slowly stood up, but his upper half body was still low, same as how Qi Meili moved down at the stairs. Because the total area is a tunnel, there were shadow parts and the lights that were fixed that are focus on where the communication officer seated and the rest were dim to total black.

Jin looked at Han Zian and signal him to crawl towards him. Han Zian crawled towards Jin and said, "The Red blood Armored Knight are all ready for the attack Sir, they only need the targets." And Jin replied with,

"I want them to take down all the enemies except the guards near the gate and the Lion Pride officer. Tell them to fire at enemy enemies they saw when the lion Pride officer below got taken down." Han Zian nodded and goes back to where he positioned earlier to give out the orders to the red Blood Armored Knight fire team leaders.

After a few minutes, Qi Meili reached the location where she must be. She could see the Lion pride officer directing the communication officer that was in front of him.

"Tell them to push forward. Tell the tank commander that they can stay there because they are all sitting ducks! Tell them to move to the Black Armored Knights' position down south. And tell them to stop lazying around. We are in the middle of a battle and they are doing tea." Lion pride officer ordered to the communication officer to tell the tank commander.

"Yes, sir. I will relay the orders to the tank commander."

Qi Meili pulled out an arrow from her quiver and aimed at the head of the Lion pride officer that stood up and keep looking at the monitor that was in front of him.

Qi Meili whispered, "Find Weakness" Her eyes suddenly became sharper and seems to change like an eye of a hawk looking down on her prey and her eyes gave out a soft pink glow. With that buff gave her an extra precision and extra accuracy for her target.

Now that her aim was better than earlier she can now let loose of the arrow, but Qi Meili want an exact one shot one kill scenario so she whispered again "Bow Mastery Arts" after whispering that her bow suddenly let out pink glow and became lighter.

"Now I am getting comfortable with this weapon. Time to eliminate that Lion pride officer." Qi Meili she stated and whispered once again.

"Penetrating arrow" and from that moment then she let loose of the arrow, and the while it was flying, its engulfed with an orange and red aura. The arrow pierces through the back of the Lion Pride officer. The Lion pride officer spits out blood and knelt down before exploding itself.

*BOOM*

The communication officer that was about to turn around and looked at the Lion pride officer splashed with the blood because of the explosion. After that, the Red blood Armored Knights stood up and raised their weapons and pulled their trigger and sprayed their bullets on the unexpecting communication officers and Lion Pride soldiers.

At the same time of the explosion, Fang Shirong already slits the throat of the two Lion pride Guards that were guarding the front gate of the building. After that, he just looked at the bodies being fired upon by the rains of bullet coming from the Red blood Armored Knight. After 30 minutes of firing their guns, Jin raised his hand and tapped his comms.

[Radio: Cease fire and reload, we are going down]

After that command, all of them reloaded and go down from the stairs. As they were going down, they saw how the entire area was now covered in blood. The blood was too spreading all throughout the floor.

As they were stepping on the floor that blood made their boots covered in stains of blood. Some of the Red Blood Armored Knights stopped and were shaken by what they have done and seen.

Meanwhile, in Jin's mind, it was all logical. If they did not fire, they are the ones that will get fired upon. Jin walked towards the gate, where he sees Fang Shirong leaning at the wall while cleaning his dual poison blades.

"You have rested from killing two guards huh Fang Shirong" Han Zian commented as he smiled, Fang Shirong shakes his head and said "Dont expect we are going to be resting soon I heard from this two"

He paused and pointed at the two bodies laying on the ground. "That inside there are a few soldiers that are guarding a database."

Jin nodded, and he looked at Qi Meili.

"Qi Meili, lead the men on checking the communication monitor over there. I want you to lead the enemy in an open area and then contact the air support if we can and then set the coordinates. We are going to kill them with that, with no waste. While the rest, I want all of you to follow me."

After that order coming from Jin, all of them moved. Qi Meili moved towards the location of the monitors where the bodies of the communication officer were located.

"Damn, the blood is dripping from the boards." One of the communication 2nd man of a fire team commented, while he sling his weapon to the side.

[Wing 5 Operation office]

"Sir, we have lost 1st Squadron, but we still have 1st Squadron Flight B and they are returning to base as of the moment sir" the communication officer of the Wing 5 operation, "Report that back to the Tower, and tell them we are still continuing the attack from the 3rd Squadron and the 2nd Squadron" Yin Gen ordered as he looked at the monitor as the signals from the 1st Squadron flight leader suddenly went missing.

"I will relay the said orders to the Tower, Sir," the communication officer replied.

[Communication: This is Wing 5 operation commander. We are here to report that 2 flights have become casualties from this mission but our group commander is still continuing the mission from the 2nd and 3rd Squadron. Please standby for further status report.]

[Communication: Received by communication of the tower. Thank you for the status report]

[underground Tower]

The communication officer looked at the commanding officer of the Tower. "Sir, we need to put the strategies up to the General Directorate of the forces. The status report of the Wing 5 said that they have lost 2 flights, which means the enemy has shut down 8 aircraft that we have deployed. Almost a full squadron lost in a single attack."

The commanding was still firm as he looked at the commanding officer, "I am still the head of this operation and I will not give this operation to the General Directorate as long as they are not asking me to give it to them" and the door opened.

A man in uniform from the General Directorate walks inside the communication room of the tower.

"Where is the commanding officer of the Tower? I am Lieutenant Kang Fang. I am from the General Directorate. The General wishes to hand voer all strategies and communication to us as the Mayor has asked us to be the one to control and finish this battle"

The Lieutenant walked towards the commanding officer who was leaning at the monitor. Then the commanding officer looked at the Lieutenant with a unique aura emitting. The Lieutenant backed by a bit and smiled. "Sir, this is protocol. Hand over the strategic key and so we can team up and report to us and so we can strategize and finish this battle. The mayor has only given us 3 months to finish this battle or else we are going to starve."

The commanding officer looks on the floor. He gritted his teeth and tap the shoulder of the communication officer as a sign to give up the strategic key. Which was a database of the previous command and connected with the channels needed for the direct command of the entire operation.

The communication officer pulls out the strategic key from the monitor base and then stood up. His tears were dripping as the lieutenant was weirded about that.

The communication officer then hands the strategic key. And the lieutenant saluted before turning around and leaving the tower. After the Lieutenant left the tower, the commanding officer burst out in anger because of the lots of command.

"What the heck! How did this happen? I am the one who is supposed to be the one to lead this battle. Why am I in the one to be following them! They dont know the field. They are not geniuses from the battle they dont know the command on the grounds they are only fat bellies who seek the benefits to them!"

the commanding officer shouted as he slammed the metal bar that was separating the upper stage and the lower stage where the monitors and the communication officers were located.

[general Directorate Office of Operation]

The Lieutenant entered the operation room once he entered; he saw the General seated at the end of the table. Communication officer was busy fixing the communication and holographic video that was present to the General and his staff.
