Chapter 401: Saving Agent Jürgen (2/2)

”I am Captain Andreas Jaeger, of the Jaeger Corps. We are here to rescue you!”

Upon hearing this, Jürgen's brow immediately began to relax as he realized that aid had finally come for him. Afterward, Andreas removed his hand where Jürgen immediately began to speak.

”I... I said... nothing... Well... besides eat shit!”

After saying this, Jürgen began to chuckle, which immediately caused him to cough. Upon seeing this, the medic immediately cut him down. However, Jürgen was far too injured to walk. As he collapsed onto the ground, he began to chuckle once more before making a request.

”Water...”

Captain Andreas quickly pulled out his canteen and guided it to Jürgen's lips, where he hastily took a sip. After drowning the blood that had poled in his mouth with fresh water, the man sighed heavily before making one final request.

”Kill me... Please!”

Andreas was shocked when he heard this. However, the medic looked at him with a worrying gaze before whispering in his ear.

”His wounds are too severe; if we take him out of here, he will die before we make it to the boat. We should grant him his wish and put an end to his suffering.”

Upon hearing this, Andreas' hands began to tremble. He began to realize that they were far too late. Jürge was as good as dead, and if they attempted to bring him back, they could easily be caught by the Golden Horde.

Despite this potential reality, he was undeterred; the veteran Captain refused to allow an Agent of the Crown to die in foreign lands and have his body tossed to the wolves or mutilated any further by those filthy savages. It was with this in mind that he made a solemn vow to Jürgen as the man gasped, struggling for breath.

”I promise you that I will have your body buried in Austrian soil.”

At this point, Jürgen could no longer speak. Instead, he nodded his head with a stern expression on his face. After doing so, the medic pulled out a small capsule that contained a fast-acting and lethal poison. He slid it into Jürgen's mouth and messaged his throat so that he would swallow it.

With this act, the agent began to whimper until there was utter silence; not even the sound of him breathing remained as his soul entered eternal rest. Upon seeing this, Andreas sighed heavily before giving the new order.

”Cover me; I'm going to make sure Jürgen makes it home, even if it is as a corpse!”

After saying this, he slung the fallen agent's body over his soldier and drew his pistol, where his team immediately exited the tent with rifles in hand. For Andreas and his team of operators, the real difficulty was about to begin.
