Chapter 236: Delay and Attack

[Radio: Break off team marksman regroup with us. I am sending the coordinates over]

[Radio: Copy that 2nd man]

Fang Shirong and rest of the group entered the ammo manufacturing hidden building. That they have thought it was an underground barracks, but it was an ammunition storage and manufacturing. When they walked inside, it was all lights on and there were no guards and there were only workers.

When they walked down the stairs, all the workers looked at them. As if the workers got scared, and then Fang Shirong walked up to one of the worker and the worker backs off, raising both of his hands afraid.

"Sir, we are not enemies," and then a loud voice shouted. "Who told you to stop working huh!" a fat man shouted with his shotgun on his shoulder, with two Rebel cell minions beside him.

He soon noticed Fang Shirong at the end because he was standing on a podium higher from where the workers were. "What the heck, intruders! GUARDS!" the door opened and 20 Lion Pride soldiers come out from the door on the other side.

When that happened, the workers drops on the ground as the rifles started blazing towards the location of Fang Shirong and the rest of his team. With the bullets flying, they find cover in the places where the bullet casing is being made.

"Marksman, try to kill the fat man. Grenadier pushes those new arrival back to where they came from. Support I want a pressure fire on them don't fire too much or this whole place will blow up" all the red blood armored knight replied "YES, SIR!"

First was the marksman raising his rifle while scoping the fat man who was pointing orders. The Marksman then breaths slowly then pressed the trigger.

The bullet came out of the barrel and travelled fast. While on the other side, the grenadier was a returning fire on the 5 Lion Pride soldiers that were on him.

Because the place is full of gunpowder, he cannot use other flammable or else they all going to blow up. But luckily, the grenadier saw a trail of powder that was leading on the cover of the 2 Lion pride soldiers. THe grenadier get out from his cover and pulled the trigger. The bullets hit the trail of gunpowder then it ignites and travels towards the cover of the two Lion pride soldiers then exploding.

After the explosion, the Fat man dropped to the ground. The two Rebel cell minions beside him go down to the ground. The workers were screaming for help because they didn't know where to go.

"Boys, we need to finish them." Fang Shirong ordered. He looked up and then saw that the enemy forces were closing in. "Support. I need to fire at the advancing enemy on my front," Fang Shirong ordered, and the support gunner aims his machine gun at the front of Fang Shirong and pulled the trigger. *BRRRRTTTTT* *BRRRRTTTTT* *BRRRRTTTTT*

The support gunner killed the 4 advancing Lion pride soldiers. Fang Shirong then whispered "Claw blades" then and an imitating aura like claw blades appeared from his knuckles and those aura claw blades were sharp as steel. After that Fang Shirong added "Blindness" then four black orbs materialize in front of him.

"Well, time makes them forget what they are fighting for." Fang Shirong thoughts as he grabbed the two black orbs on the floor. Then Fang Shirong tapped the comms on his neck and said, "Everybody take cover and close your eyes." And all the red blood armored knights take cover while the Lion pride soldiers advances.

With that, Fang Shirong throws the 2 black orb balls to the front of the grenadier, which is the right flank and the front of the marksman that was on the left. With after the black orbs got triggered, it then explodes with a dazzling flash of light.

[All those open eyes will no longer see the beauty of the outside] the system upon materializing the black orbs in front of Fang Shirong. After the flash of light, Fang Shirong tapped his comms on his neck and ordered, "All of you open fire". All the Lion pride soldiers were blinded, and they could no longer aim or fire. Fang Shirong then charges forward, killing 2 Lion pride soldiers with a stab and a slash, then throwing his dual poison daggers on the two Rebel cell minions that were trying to find the door.

The gun fight stop when the marksman killed the last Lion pride soldier. The workers stood up and looked around. They seemed to be happy as they saw the fat man on the ground while his blood was dripping they all cheered.

Fang Shirong then goes back to where his position was and luckily the two black orbs were still there, as he almost forgot about it. He whispered, "Open inventory," and put the two black orbs inside of his inventory.

He looked at the other side and there he saw the door that the Lion Pride Soldiers came out from. A worker approached Fang Shirong and thanked him. Fang Shirong smiled and said "Please you are now free even the artist is clear you may live accordingly."

With his calm tone of voice, all the workers seemed happy about what he said. After that, all the workers walked towards the stairs. And Fang Shirong's tears suddenly dropped as he remembered Zhong Zian.

But then he ignored that feeling as he needs to focus before they take a rest for tomorrow's battle. They all moved up and Fang Shirong kicks the door open.

There they saw chambers and jail cells with few Lion pride guards roaming around. "What, they did not hear the gunfire outside?" the marksman stated.

"I think this place is sound proof that is why," Fang Shirong answered as they go down the stairs quietly so it won't alarm the few guards that were roaming around.

"Alright, we saw 4 guards that are roaming around. Kill them, then regroup back here," Fang Shirong ordered the marksman and the 2nd man moves to the left. While the grenadier and the support were both on the right. After 20 minutes, a few guns shot awake the people inside of the cells. The marksman returned to Fang Shirong with a key. "Sir, shoulder we unlock the people inside of these cells?"

Fang Shirong walked up to one person inside of the cells. "Please let us out. Please, we are citizens of this city please!" one inmate said, while the others beg for mercy that they won't kill them. "Please let the other people with white shirts' uniforms go. They are the innocent people. The ones with the black and purple are the ones who have sinned," one voice overpowered the others. And the whole place stayed quiet.

"Oh, So that's why the white uniforms are the quiet ones and the ones who want to be free are the ones who committed crimes," the marksman stated as he raised his rifle and aimed at one of those who begging to get out. Fang Shirong walked towards the cell where the loud man's voice. "Would you tell me what is this place for, sir?" Fang Shirong's polite tone of voice amazes the Black shirt inmate.

"Well, this place is a manufacturing of weapons and ammo to supply the chain of rebel cell minions and Lion pride soldiers. That is all to this facility. It's what they call force labor the supply goes in we create and then they distribute."

"Then what is your crime?" Fang Shirong asked. The man in the black shirt turns around and sat on the bed.

"I have no stories to tell to you, kid. But I guess you are the good guys. Hope you can free the other white shirts that were jailed here for now reason." Fang Shirong raised his left hand and ordered the red Blood armored knights to free the white uniform shirts.

"Are you sure you don't want to be freed?" then one of the black shirt on the next cell said "Me I want to be free why not offer me that HUH!" Fang Shirong smirked and looked a furious gaze with killing intent on the Black uniform inmate. "Hey, I was just joking" and went back to his bed.

"I have no work or a family to return to. Why do I need to go back outside? I rather rot here and then the regular forces of yours free us or we all die here," the man said while looking at Fang Shirong.

"Why not join us? I am still lacking one man on my team." Fang Shirong offered. And the other red blood armored knights looked at Fang Shirong and they know they could trust their team leader.

The black shirt inmate looked at him and said "No thank you I don't want to fight a battle with no sense from the start but I would like to thank you for the offer you have given me."

Fang Shirong smiled and said "I sense my squad leader in you sir" Fang Shirong turns around as the marksman is about to report to him that all the white uniforms has been freed and guided.

And when they got out of the room. Fang Shirong turns around and said, "Plant the explosives" then turning around and walking towards the stairs.

All the Red blood Armored knight got shocked by the order, but it was an order from the team leader so they moved to other places to plant the explosives before leaving and walking out of the building. "Sir, why did you do that?" the support gunner asked.

"Those people inside are not inmates. They are the rebel cell minions and Lion pride soldiers. I saw earlier a uniform of a rebel cell minion inside of their cells. But he was correct from the white uniforms that they are civilians because those are the uniforms that the workers have used. Now hand me the detonator" Fang Shirong pushed the button, and the building exploded then collapsing.
