Chapter 235: The smell of blood and Death

The bombing run ended and Zhong Zian and, except for the red blood armored knight marksman, followed him towards the gate stairs to access its control room. "Spread out we don't want to get killed in a single shot,"

Zhong Zian ordered and the Red Blood Armored Knights nodded and replied, "Roger!" they then spread out as they run towards the stairs. Every time there was a Rebel cell minion that was standing and loitering always got shot in the head.

"That was nice kill there marksman," Zhong Zian said as he step on the stairs. And run up while tapping the comms on his neck. "That is only a lucky guess, sir." the marksman smiled and continue to take down multiple rebel cell minion and Lion Pride soldier that was holding a weapon and will try to shoot Zhong Zian position.

But they could not do it because as the moment they raised their rifle, they got shot in the head immediately. "Well, I like to kill some of this worthless bunch," he commented as he pressed the trigger for better accuracy and precision on the enemy's head.

Zhong Zian kicked the door open and two communication officers and 4 Lion Pride soldiers were inside. Zhong Zian jump on the other side so he would avoid the rifle that was aimed at the door. "Hey give me a grenade. We are going to bomb them inside."

Zhong Zian ordered as he then throw a hand grenade and then pushing the button and then throws it inside. *BOOM* the explosion was loud, and it created a thick black smoke after the blast. Zhong Zian let the black thick smoke dissipate before entering the control room of the gate.

As he stepped inside, there were some sparks of electricity coming out from the controls and the monitor.

The bodies were on the ground and burned to a crisp. The communication officer earlier who focused on the monitor was on the ground. "Well, it seems they did it like this. But sadly we cannot close the gate."

Zhong Zian stated, but then one of the Red blood armored Knight commented. "Sir, what if we do it manually? Destroying its lock, so if we removed that mechanical lock, then it would release the gate down. After that they can no longer enter here in the north. Cutting both of their supplies and reinforcements."

"That is a damn great idea. We should do that now, we should we find the map of this gate." Zhong Zian said as he was walking and checking each of the drawers. After 20 minutes of searching for the blueprint of the gate. Zhong Zian found it in one drawer he mistook he had already checked. After that, the team heads out with the blueprint. And running to the other side for the mechanism of the gate.

[Old Purple Armored knight forward operating base]

"Sir, the northern sector that we have occupied last time. Got cut off because of the enemy SQUAD forces sir" the communication officer saluted the hooded figure who was sitting on a chair at the end of the table.

"What are you saying that we are being cut? You mean supplies and reinforcements from the outside are halted?!" the furious hooded figure said. As he clenched his fist and gritted his teeth. The communication officer was too scared to say yes but because of his build up courage to report. He said it "Yes, Sir what should we send to put the northern gate sector open once more?"

"Send in the 1st reserve company that is still there outside. Tell them I want those SQUAD forces to be eliminated." Then another communication officer entered the room. The hooded figure made half of the room into a chilly breeze.

"What is it to get on the point." The other communication officer replied, "Sir, as of now the SQUAD have destroyed 5 underground barrack bases that we have built" after the other communication officer said that the entire room suddenly get cold as the ice molecules slowly expand all across the wall.

"Both of you get out!!" the hooded figure shouted as he got pissed that he wants to kill the two communication officers. After the hooded figure ordered that, the two communications officers that reported did not think twice to leave the room. After that the entire room turned to normal and because of his nervousness, because the guild leader wills really kill him if he can't reoccupy the city. "What should I report to the guild leader? I am surely be killed by his assassin, dammit!"

And then a monitor call appeared in front of him. A hologram face of the leader flashed after the ring.

The hooded figure looked at the guild leader with a calm look and well relaxed hooded figure. "Tell me an excellent report before I swap you with another person who is much suited for your position." The guild leader's deep and authoritative voice echoed inside the room.

The hooded figured immediately kneels down in front of the hologram and said, "Guild leader, because of the lack of force, we cannot push them back. They keep sending reinforcements. I still need a bit of time before I fully kick them out from this City Guild leader."

The Guild leader looked at him with a furious gaze. "Who do you think you are trying to suggest me with something?!" and the hooded figure replied, "No Sir, I don't mean any disrespect towards you, sir."

Then the guild leader smiled and laughed while the hooded figure was about to burst into tears. "Well, what else do you need a superiority? Well then, Ill give that to you."

The hooded figure was not sure of the if he wanted to trust the guild leader because of the guild leaders' look. "Sir, if you can give me the air support, then sir, I will take them on! Ill send the coordinates to which fighter you are going to send me." And the guild leader said, "Why not send me your coordinates so that I bomb you and change you!"

The guild leader looked furiously at the hooded figure. After that, the hologram vanished, and the door opened. "Sir, our Connecticut has been cut." A communication officer opened the door as he reminded the hooded figure. "What are you telling me that our connection has been cut?!" the hooded figure replied.

"Sir, the enemy is now advancing towards us." The communication officer added. "What? How can that? be we still have 6 tanks on the ground, how can you tell me we are being pushed back!?" the hooded figure asked. "Sir, they have destroyed the six armored tiger tanks as the enemy has dropped 20 armored tanks of their own."

The hooded commander sat on his chair, defeated. He spaced out from the moment he heard those reports. "How did that happen?" The hooded figure sighed before letting those words out.

"Sir, what are your orders? We still have 40 minutes to decide or else the enemy will corner us." The communication officer said, as he looked at the hooded figure. "Tell the boys the order of the Guild leader is to stand and fight. As long as possible, I want all underground barracks to attack and don't wait for the general signal plan." The hooded figure looked at the window as it was getting dark.

"This what happens when they give me untrained players, and users. Worthless!" the furious hooded figure slammed the table. The communication officer heard that loud slam and continue to walk towards the communication center.

[Northern Sector gate mechanism]

"So that is the lock that is holding the gate up huh" Zhong Zian commented as he sees a huge lock. "Yes, Sir that is the object that we need to destroy so that the gate will close.

"Plant the explosives so we can move out of this place and regroup with our main team," Zhong Zian ordered as he look around the then saw a child. "Hey what are you doing inside of this place?" Zhong Zian approached the kid.

"Sir!" the red blood armored knight shouted and Zhong Zian turns around but it was too late. The kid had already pushed the button and the whole place exploded. *KABOOM* the lock also got destroyed, and it shut the gate. But the whole gate mechanism platform got destroyed because of the kid.

Zhong Zian died and the rest of the red Blood armored knights that were with him. The Red Blood Armored Knight marksman saw the explosion from the outside. He also saw the fiery flame that was coming out from the door of where Zhong Zian and the rest of his buddies entered.

He knelt down, he suddenly felt his heart shattering into pieces. He looked down at the ground and cried. "Fuck!" he tried to punch the ground, but he felt it was too late. He lean to the wall while his rifle was on the ground.He tapped his communication on his arm.

Fang Shirong turns around as he heard the casualty report. "What the heck! Repeat the report!" He shouted as he closed the door. The 2nd man nodded and radioed.

[Radio: Break off team clear detail over]

[Radio: This Marksman of break off team casualties all remaining is Marksman over]

Behind the radio static was a cry of a man because of a loss of his brothers in arms. Fang Shirong's eyes widen as he did not expect someone under him will lose their life.

"Dammit, I shout have!" he turns around and said "Clear the verification and we are moving." For him, it was not the time to mourn they still have a mission to finish.
