Chapter 257 Matthew giving a helping hand (1/2)

Matthew had left the school premise before the start of the play, since he wanted to buy a quick snack. Once he was done buying what he wanted, he immediately headed back, but it was at that moment something surprising happened.

When he got back he saw that the school was surrounded by heavily armed men. They even made a blockade as the police and people wearing maid and butler uniforms were trying to break through. It wasn't just the school, it would seem that the whole city was under attack.

Matthew couldn't understand what the hell was happening. He just bought some snacks and this sh*t suddenly happens.

Matthew headed to the top floor of a nearby building to check out the situation. When he got on the roof of the building, he looked around and saw dozens of smoke rising from the ground. He could see numerous building on fire, he could also hear the sounds of heavy artillery being fired. The smell of blood was heavy and the sound of civilians dying could also be heard.

Everywhere he looked he saw that the police, the maids and butlers were trying their best to help the civilians yet were having difficulty controlling the situation. Matthew then started to wonder, how long it would take for the Berdonian armed force to arrive. Seeing as the situation was so dire, once the Berdonian armed forces arrive, it might be too late.

He also noticed that the enemy forces were using heavy artillery on random places, but they never hit the school or any place near it.

'Then why were the majority of their forces seem to be focusing on the school. What was the plan here, what do they want?'

'Based on their extremely efficient movements, these guys are highly trained, and well equipped obviously they were not terrorists, so that would mean a military force from another nation. Of course the Southern Union won't start attacking Berdonia, especially now that Lyner and Saintess Anita, are a married couple. So that only leaves the Granado Empire. Only those b*stards are capable of attacking Berdonia in this manner.'

'Have they finally gone insane? They did this knowing full well this is a breach of the international law of war. This would make them an enemy to both Berdonia and the Southern Union. Could the Empire really think that they could handle both our nations at the same time? Where does their confidence stem from?Do they have some sort of secret weapon?'

As Matthew was thinking about this, he heard a sudden explosion coming from one of the nearby buildings. Seeing the destruction happening in the city Matthew clenched his fist. Even though he wasn't Berdonian, he was still someone who stayed in this city. Also he liked the Berdonians and he finds it quite comfortable here in the city.

'Tsk, fine first I need to do is to take out the enemies heavy artillery.' After confirming what he needed to do next, Matthew headed to the area where the heavy artillery was located.

...

Once he got to the area where the heavy artillery was, he saw numerous soldiers guarding it. Not only that he saw the dead bodies of both civilians and police officers scattered about. He couldn't simply use force on these people. It was obvious he would be overwhelmed with their superior numbers. Matthew needed to do this stealthily.

There were two guards guarding the entrance of the makeshift base. He needed to move them far enough so that he could do something about them without anyone noticing. That was when Matthew saw an empty cardboard box.
