Chapter 124: Hostage stand up 1 (2/2)
In this way, it prevents misidentification, accumulates information – it understands the behavior patterns of the criminal, and determines the appropriate time and place to rush.
Thanks to the communication of Chris and the sniper team, we were able to grasp the current situation. There are 3 hostages. Chris and her observer, Layara, confirmed through the gap in the window where the criminal stands.
There is one criminal, armed only with a sword, not a magician. It seems to be more violent, apparently due to drinking and taking a lot of drugs.
Garma was desperately trying to communicate, but he said, “Bring me that armored bastard!” The negotiation didn’t advance.
We talk to an acquaintance of the criminal and get more information about the opponent.
――The criminal was a human named Jörm. Adventurer level III. There was no magic talent, but he had a female magician lover who often teamed up.
I thought I saw his face somewhere, the day after I was attacked by the Red Armor when I was called to the Adventurer guild a drunken man was screaming in front of the building. His beloved lover was killed by the armored bastard. Even the body was taken away.
Jörm was unable to reach the armored bastard, though he did move independently to avenge the loss. Therefore, to escape reality, he began to drink alcohol and began to scatter around.
The symptoms worsened, and his spirit was driven into a corner until he decided to take hostages.
…… I understand his feelings.
If anyone of Snow, Chris, or Liz is killed by an enemy, I will never forgive the one who killed her.
At the end of the earth, even at the end of the other world, I will continue to throw bullets until it becomes minced meat.
But what he’s doing now is nothing more than a vicious attack that breaks the mind and is blind before and after. There is no crime in women who are taken as hostages.
So, he can’t be forgiven. Even if it results in killing Jörm, the women who are definitely hostages, need to be rescued.
“Snow, Shia, and Meiya, we are going soon. Get ready.”
“Copy that!”
Snow and Shia load the magazines into the MP5SD that they have and release the safety device. They pull the cocking handle and move one bullet to the chamber.
Mayer took out a special Sonic flashgun stun grenade and lined it up on the table. I explained how to enter while showing the map of the building to the three of them.
“Originally, it is basic to rush from two places at the same time, but now we are the only ones who can do that… So, Snow and I who have the highest shooting skill will enter from the left window. Meiya and Shia will throw stun grenades from the small window on the other side. Throw two in total.”
When a special unit enters, two Stun grenades must be thrown. This is because there is a possibility that one will not explode. To prevent you got to throw two at the same time.
Shia raised her hand and asked questions.
“Young Master, why bother to enter through the window where the criminal is facing? Certainly, it’s bigger than usual, so there is no problem with rushing. But I think it’s more reliable to break through the door……”
“I thought about that at first, but from the report of the sniper team, it seems that a barricade is made in front of the door with a desk, chair, chiffon, etc. So, it is difficult to enter from the door.”
Shea was convinced by my reply.
In the case of the earth of the previous life, they would destroy the door with a shotgun or use the explosive sheet that destroys the wall to break into two places. But we don’t have either. There is no time to make. Therefore, I chose the method of rushing through the window.
It was lucky that the Stun grenade was made. Without this, it was quite difficult to enter the building, defeat the culprit, and save the hostage.
“Is there any other question?”
I looked around at Snow and the other’s faces, but I don’t see any more doubts.
“Okay, let’s go rescue the hostages!”
Snow, Shia, and Meiya began to act upon my call.
