1937 Fight! (1/2)
Soon after Hawbon Stoic felt the first raindrop, heavy rain had poured down.
In the heavy rain, the flames over the building ruins being lit in the south of Coldwater City turned much smaller; however, many buildings being lit by inflammable bombs were still burning in the rain, turning raindrops and moisture in the air into misty vapor. As a result, visibility was severely weakened in this situation.
When the raindrops fell to the ground, they didn't cause loud sounds; however, they could completely cover the footsteps of Hawbon Stoic and his followers. Even in the misty rain, Hawbon Stoic and his 9 subordinates soon arrived at the corresponding locations for assault according to Hawbon Stoic's arrangement. They were all waiting for Hawbon Stoic's order and prepared to rush into the half-collapsed building.
As of now, all the soldiers between LV 2 and LV 5 among the elite force in the frontline had almost entered airplanes and armored vehicles to drive those machines. The manipulation of those machines didn't require high battle force; however, those machines were lethal to enemies. Two LV 2 soldiers probably turned a LV 9 wing demon into a fireball in the sky by driving the airplane. It was a cost-efficient trade in the eyes of those big figures. As a result, fighters who had promoted to LV 9 like Hawbon Stoic became the main force on the ground in scrambling for a city.
Hawbon Stoic was the team leader of an elite special squad of a special force regiment being directly affiliated to the 3rd brigade of No. 1 field infantry corps of No. 6 Royal Army of Aoto Empire. Besides Hawbon Stoic who was a LV 9 fighter, all the other 9 subordinates ranged from LV 6 to LV 8. Such a formation was first-rate among the ground troops in East Line, although it was not the best.
If a standard demon ground squad was in front of them, only 3 demon fighters could inflict heavily losses to them. However, demons were not foolish. Before consuming all the b*stards of Sacred Alliance Empire in the frontline, they would barely assign regular and established demon corps to the battlefield. Some demons that could be spotted on the battlefield were all officers above average or high priests in the troops of Sacred Alliance Empire. Before those b*stards and cannon fodder were killed, those demons would never appear in the frontline. Of course, those wing demons who were fearless in the evening or rainy days were an exception.
Hawbon Stoic had already approached the gate of the half-ruined building. The gate had been demolished. There was a broken sofa and cabinet outside the gate. Beside a corner of the wall, there was a discarded truck that had been half-buried by the ruins. The truck was 2 m higher than the ground. The top of the truck was close to a window of the second floor, from where his team members could rush upstairs at the fastest speed.
The elite squad of 10 people had been divided into 3 teams by Hawbon Stoick. Two snipers with heavy crossbows in hands were covering them outside the building. Hawbon Stoick would break in from the front gate, followed by two people. If there were enemies in this building, after hearing the sound, the 5 people of the second team would rush upstairs from the top of the truck and fought enemies inside the building together with him.Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click for visiting.
After sniffing the air with moisture deeply, Hawbon Stoic made a hand gesture towards the sniper in the distance. After seeing Hawbon Stoic's hand gesture, the sniper threw a glass bottle that he had picked into the window on the second floor.
After hearing the glass bottle breaking into pieces on the second floor, Hawbon Stoic rushed inside from the front gate immediately.
The fact proved that such a small trick of making a feint to the east but attack in the west was very useful on such occasions. On many occasions, people would make a response to the surrounding environment without consideration.
When he rushed into the building, he instantly caught sight of a fighter of Sacred Alliance Empire who was hiding at the staircase near the gate in the same field camouflage clothing while raising a huge ax whose snow-white edge was daubed with mud on purpose. The fighter was turning around and watching upstairs after hearing the noise.
The 0.1 second was critical for an attacker as Hawbon Stoic's short sword had already cut through the neck of the fighter of Sacred Alliance Empire with a cold light in this short period of time...
This slash was precise, brutal and sharp. Closely after that, that fighter's head was sent flying away while spurting out blood through his neck. Hawbon Stoic then rushed to the platform between two flights of stairs, closely followed by two fighters.
With a growl, a shadow charged at Hawbon Stoick from upstairs. However, before that shadow approached him, Hawbon Stoick had already tossed out his inflammable grenade which had been set to explode in the shortest period.
A bright flame immediately covered that shadow which charged at him.
The flame didn't kill that shadow in an instant; it only burned the shadow all over. The shadow roared as he still slashed his long sword towards Hawbon Stoic in a ferocious way. He wanted to die with Hawbon Stoic.
