From the moment the first drop of rain fell to the moment the raindrops fell from the sky, it was only a blink of an eye.
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem In the heavy rain, the flames on the building ruins in the south of Coldwater City died down a lot; however, a lot of flames were still burning in the rainwater due to the incendiary bombs. The flames turned the raindrops and moisture in the air into steam, making it misty. As a result, people couldn't see far.
Although the sound of raindrops falling onto the ruins was not loud, it could completely cover the footsteps of Hawbon Stoic and his subordinates. In the rain and mist, Hawbon Stoic and his 9 subordinates had arrived at the assault positions arranged by Hawbon Stoic in a short while. They were all waiting for Hawbon Stoic's order and ready to rush into the half-collapsed building.
Since the start of the holy war, almost all the LV 2 to LV 5 fighters in the frontline elite troops had entered airplanes and armored vehicles to operate those machines. Those machines didn't require high battle strength; however, they could cause great damage to the enemy. Two LV 2 fighters could definitely turn a LV 9 wing demon into a fireball in the sky. It was a cost-effective deal in the eyes of those big figures. By contrast, fighters like Hawbon Stoic who had promoted to LV 9 became the main force fighting the enemy on the ground in this war for a city.
The team led by Hawbon Stoic was an elite special warfare squad under the direct leadership of the 3rd brigade of the No. 1 Field Infantry Corps of the No. 6 imperial corps of Aoto Empire. Besides Hawbon Stoic who was a LV 9 fighter, the other 9 people were all LV 6 to LV 8 fighters. Such a lineup might not be the best among the ground troops on the eastern battlefield; however, it was a first-class configuration.
If such a special warfare squad faced the real ground troops of demons, only 3 demon fighters could cause a great loss to them. However, since the beginning of the holy war, demons were not idiots. As they could constantly dispatch those b * stards of Sacred Alliance Empire to the frontline to fight allied human forces, regular organized demon corps became less and less on the battlefield. Occasionally, some demons could be seen; they were all middle and senior military officers or priests in the troops of Sacred Alliance Empire. Before those b * stards died out, those demons would never appear in the frontline of the battlefield. Of course, a few wing demons who could fly unscrupulously in the sky were exceptions.
Hawbon Stoic had already lurked outside the gate on the first floor of that building. The gate had been demolished. There was a broken sofa and a cabinet outside the gate. On the other corner of this building, there was a half-buried exhaust truck. The abandoned truck was over 2 m higher than the ground. The top of the truck was facing a window on the second floor of that building. Hawbon Stoic's team members could rush upstairs at the fastest speed from there.
The elite squad of 10 people had been divided into three teams by Hawbon Stoic. Two snipers with heavy crossbows would stay outside the building to support them. Hawbon Stoic would break through the front gate, followed by two people. If there were really enemies in this building, the 5 people in the second team would rush upstairs from the top of the truck and attack the enemies inside together with him.
After deeply inhaling the moist air, Hawbon Stoic made a hand gesture towards Mole who was responsible for sniping in the distance. At the sight of Hawbon Stoic's hand gesture, Mole instantly threw a glass bottle into a window on the second floor of that building.
When the glass bottle was broken, Hawbon Stoic had already rushed in from the front gate.
The fact proved that such a trick of diversion was very useful on this occasion. In many cases, people would make instinctive responses to the surrounding environment without thinking about it carefully.
The moment Hawbon Stoic rushed into the room, he had caught sight of a soldier of Sacred Alliance Empire who was ambushing him at the staircase of the entrance through which he rushed in. The soldier in the same field camouflage uniform was raising a huge ax with a snow-white blade which was smeared with mud on purpose. When he heard the sound upstairs, he turned around and looked upstairs.
In 1/10th of a second, his life or death had been determined.
Hawbon Stoic's dagger instantly turned into a cold light and cut through the neck of that fighter of Sacred Alliance Empire …
This slash was precise, cold and sharp. After one slash, the head of that fighter of Sacred Alliance Empire flew off while blood spurted out from his neck heavily. Hawbon Stoic then rushed to the entrance in the middle of the staircase, closely followed by the two fighters behind him.
With a roar, a black shadow charged at Hawbon Stoic from the stairs. Before that black shadow approached him, Hawbon Stoic had already thrown out an inflammable grenade which had been set to detonate in the shortest time.
A ball of bright flames immediately enveloped the black figure that was pouncing over.
The flame didn't burn that black shadow to death in a split second; instead, it was burned all over. The black shadow roared as he raised his long sword and slashed it towards Hawbon Stoic ferociously. He wanted to kill Hawbon Stoic with him.
Hawbon Stoic stomped on the handrail of the staircase. Closely after that, he turned around and flew over that person. Closely after that, he threw out his dagger and stabbed it into that person's back.
When Hawbon Stoic threw out that inflammable grenade, he had not imagined that he could kill his opponent with that inflammable grenade in the shortest period in such a close combat. He only needed that fighter of Sacred Alliance Empire to be on fire all over and be driven mad; additionally, his vision, hearing and response would become sluggish for a short while.
When Hawbon Stoic landed on the floor of the second floor, he had already drawn out his long sword.
Some black shadows charged at Hawbon Stoic. Hawbon Stoic charged at them without demur. At the same time, his 5 subordinates had already entered the second floor through that window. A fierce and bloody battle started in this broken building in a split second …
…
There were 7 enemies in total. After Hawbon Stoic killed 2 of them, there were only 5 left, one of whom was also a LV 9 fighter. This LV 9 fighter caused the greatest casualty to Hawbon Stoic's team in this action.
When Hawbon Stoic fought that LV 9 fighter, two of the 5 members of his team had already been killed by the LV 9 fighter of Sacred Alliance Empire. Hawbon Stoic had also killed one enemy fighter and wounded the other one. As a result, there were only 3 people and a wounded one left.
The other 5 fighters of Aoto Empire who followed Hawbon Stoic in roared in a low voice while gritting their teeth with red eyes. When Hawbon Stoic fought that LV 9 fighter, the 5 people were divided into 3 groups tacitly. One person was responsible for dealing with the wounded one; the other 4 people were divided into 2 groups to deal with the other 2 people.
The two fighters of Sacred Alliance Empire fell down in the blink of an eye. However, the wounded one roared. When a subordinate of Hawbon Stoic pierced his long sword into his heart, the wounded one instantly hugged the subordinate of Hawbon Stoic. Closely after that, he opened his mouth and bit the throat of Hawbon Stoic's subordinate. Like a wild beast, he instantly broke the throat and trachea of that subordinate of Hawbon Stoic. Hawbon Stoic's subordinate's eyes turned red at once. In the blink of an eye, the long sword that had been inserted into the wounded one's body had cut into the left armpit of the second floor from his heart.
"God is supreme …" That fighter of Sacred Alliance Empire roared as he detonated an inflammable grenade. Closely after that, the two people turned into fireballs at the same time and rolled off the second floor through the window.
Watching all his subordinates being killed, the LV 9 fighter who was fighting Hawbon Stoic forced Hawbon Stoic to retreat with one strike before trying to escape through the window.
Soon after that person jumped off the window and was in the air, a sharp bolt had been shot towards him in the dark.
With a "Ding …", the LV 9 fighter of Sacred Alliance Empire blocked the first bolt with his long sword. However, at the same time, the bolt gave out a flame. The flame instantly fell onto the LV 9 fighter of Sacred Alliance Empire, turning him into a fireball in the air as he shrieked miserably.
Hawbon Stoic then flew off the window and swept his long sword, splitting the body being covered by the fireball into two halves and falling onto the ground …
Watching the flames inside and outside the building, Hawbon Stoic wiped off the rainwater on his face as he gnashed his teeth and roared in a low voice, "Retreat …"
Of the 7 people who rushed in after Hawbon Stoic, only 4 rushed out. The 4 of them chopped off the enemy's head at the fastest speed and held it in their hands. After that, they gritted their teeth and mixed their tears with rainwater before disappearing into the heavy rain together with Hawbon Stoic …
