Chapter 33 (2/2)

“Captain, where did that news come from?” Clark asked. He was somewhat calm.

“I don’t know, it was from an anonymous sender. However, he stated the location of the Sky Wolf Battleship. It should be right!” Captain Feroman said indignantly.

The Sky Wolf Mercenary Corps was his lifelong effort and his future hope.

He continuously accumulated his wealth for the sake of increasing his chances of advancing.

In order to increase his chances, he could do anything. He led the mercenaries to perform various sordid acts. He did all sorts of business because he was indignant.

Now that the Sky Wolf Mercenary Corps had been ruined today, he lost all hope.

“What should we do?” Ed asked Captain Feroman.

The Sky Wolf Mercenary Corps may be gone but they, the main figures, were still there. Besides, leaving Pelan City was the most important to do.

“The news says we’ve been discovered. The authorities are very likely to strike at noon, deploy eight armorers and a large number of aerial drones, along with the city’s defense, leaving us with no way to escape!” Instead of picking up on his words, Captain Feroman went on to tell a piece of even worse information.

“Nowhere to run”?

“Why don’t we fight then!?!” Fessier said in a low voice and glistening eyes.

“Yes, let’s go all out and fight. We are in the city, and the four of us are ready. It’s not easy to catch us!” Ed answered with a nod.

“Alright then, get your armor ready. We’ll barge straight into that residence and capture David. We’ll then use him as a hostage and force them to send us away!” Captain Feroman exclaimed as he decided to spell out a solution to stay alive.

Clark was a little hesitant. He didn’t want to get into trouble with David again, but he also knew it was the only way to survive, so he merely struggled for a moment, which was reflected in his eyes, before making up his mind.

The safe house did not look much different from a normal residence, but it actually had a secret underground passage that connected to a network of underground pipes.

The four mercenaries wore exoskeleton armor and entered the underground pipe network through the secret passage. However, of course, the underground pipe network had sensors at each connection point and could not be moved over long distances.

However, the four mercenaries did not think of moving too far. All they needed was to reach the cargo hovercar that was parked a hundred meters away from the safe house.

That was one of the countermeasures he had already prepared, and as mercenaries, they would set up some sort of backup solution in every place.

The lower cover of the cargo hovercar was opened. It happened to be the place that connected to an exit of the underground pipe network. The four mercenaries then entered the cargo hovercar through the exit.

The mercenaries’ exoskeleton armor was a two-meter tall black diamond exoskeleton armor. The all-black shell of the armor incorporated the shell of a Class 2 bug, while the vital points on his chest and head were made of the same material used to make Class 1 weapons, thus ensuring the safety of the exoskeleton armor user.

The core of the exoskeleton armor was a Kryptonite crystal-powered augmentation converter that could increase the user’s power output by ten times.

In other words, a subversive armorer like Captain Feroman, who had a strength of 2,000 kilograms himself, could exert a strength of 20,000 kilograms after being augmented by the exoskeleton armor.

That kind of power, coupled with a Level 1 weapon, could be completely destructive in the city.

Of course, places like Pelan City also had a city defense system, and coupled with the drones in the sky and the armorers guarding the city, it was rare for an armorer to dare to destroy the city.

If they were not driven into the corner, Captain Feroman would not have gone on that path. Even if he could escape successfully, he would only end up being labeled as a fugitive. He had to be careful about being betrayed.

At the same time, the hatred he had for David in his heart was the reason that spurred him to make that decision.

If it wasn’t because of David, how could the Sky Wolf Mercenary Corps be destroyed?

With the cargo hovercar as cover, the four mercenaries could have launched a surprise attack on David, catching the latter before Skynet could find out. By then, they could use him as a threat while leaving.

They believed that the safety of a statesman’s child would be much more important than them, the mercenaries. At least, that was the case on the surface.

The cargo hovercar moved towards Lanca Street where David was, without attracting the attention of anyone else.

The people who were observing the safehouse did not expect the four mercenaries, whom they were watching through the surveillance cameras, to move suddenly.

Besides, their setup would be exposed to the four mercenaries. A powerful figure was secretly controlling the progress of the matter.
