Chapter 847
“Boozer and the others have been ambushed by the Thorn Special Operation Force. Our whereabouts have been exposed.”
“That's impossible. Our route and timing of the cargo delivery this time was personally set by our headquarters. How could our whereabouts possibly be exposed?”
Blade glanced at Spider and said, “That means our headquarters is compromised. Still, this is not the time to pursue this matter. We can investigate the mole later on, but if we lose the goods and people, our team will be disqualified from the organization.”
Earl was notoriously strict.
Although there were many teams under Earl, as long as they completed their missions, they could receive substantial rewards.
Conversely, if a team failed to accomplish the task or suffered a casualty involving more than half their team members, the team would be disbanded. The team members would be punished accordingly and then assigned to other teams.
As the team's leader, Blade would certainly not allow that to happen.
No matter what, he had to bring back both the goods and people with him.
Blade traveled at a fast pace. In less than ten minutes, he heard gunshots from ahead.
As the mercenary organization collapsed, most of the goods had already been seized by the South Sea
Military Region.
When Blade arrived, he saw Boozer's body covered in small bloody holes and scrapes. The latter looked quite miserable.
“How's the situation?” Blade asked.
Boozer took a swig of alcohol. He panted heavily while replying, “That guy who released the vines is very cautious. I can't figure out his position at all. Since I can't leave, I can only watch them take away the goods.”
Blade looked ahead to see that the members of the Special Operation Force of the South Sea Military Region were already starting to clean up the battlefield.
However, they knew Boozer was a high-level Stella Warrior, so they practiced constant vigilance and kept an eye on their enemies.
If there were any movement from Boozer's side, they would retreat immediately.
“Captain, what should we do now?” Spider asked. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
“I'll pinpoint that person's location. You two flank him and take him down.” With that, Blade dashed off like an arrow.
“Someone's coming. Fire!”
The Special Operation Force member in charge of keeping watch shouted, and the other members swiftly opened fire at Blade.
The knife in Blade's hand gleamed, blocking all the bullets fired at him.
Those Special Operation Force members who had shot at Blade were stunned. What's going on? He can see the trajectory of the bullets and even deflect the bullets.
Just as those Special Operation Force members were about to retreat, Blade slightly exerted force with his wrist, turning his sword into pieces of blade fragments.
The blade fragments hovered in the air for a second, then slashed at the Special Operation Force members at high speed.
Clang!
Just as the Special Operation Force members were about to be beheaded, a dozen robust vines erupted from the ground, forming a wall of vines.
The blade fragments hit the wall of vines, causing the sound of metal colliding to reverberate in the air.
A cold glint flitted across Blade's eyes. The person manipulating these vines is more difficult to deal with than I've imagined. However, this battle has to end now.
“Ah!”
From the distant woods came a man's agonized scream.
It turned out that when the vines sprouted from the ground, one of the blade fragments had traveled along the vines beneath the earth, tracking down the manipulator's whereabouts.
The man controlling the vines didn't expect that move from Blade. He was caught off guard and had his right hand severed.
“Captain, I found his location!” Boozer ran toward that person at breakneck speed. “D*mn it! Did you have fun tormenting me in hiding earlier? It's my turn to teach you a lesson now!”
After Boozer gulped a big mouthful of alcohol, the veins in his right hand bulged. At the same time, strength surged in his muscular and rock-hard arms.
He leaped up and thrust his right fist at the person controlling the vein with all his might.
Just as the person was about to be smashed into a pulp by Boozer, the latter suddenly felt a sharp pain in his abdomen.
Blade heard the sound of bone shattering from his earpiece, and Boozer went silent.
“Boozer, what happened? Answer me!” Blade looked in Boozer's direction.
As the forest was too dense, Blade couldn't see what was happening at Boozer's end.
Spider, who had been observing the situation, said, “Captain, someone booted Boozer and incapacitated him.”
Boozer was incapacitated, not to mention with a single kick? How is that possible? Boozer's close combat capability is the strongest among us. Is this some kind of joke?
“Spider, wait for me. I'm coming over. Don't make any move yet.”
Spider replied with a quavering voice, “I-It's not as if I don't want to make a move, but I can't. I can't move an inch now.”
