Chapter 1937: Fight!

Translator: WQL  Editor: Aleem

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.

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.

Hawbon Stoic stepped onto the handrail and as he directly passed by that attacker from the latter’s head. Meanwhile, he threw out his short sword and had stabbed into the shadow’s back.

When Hawbon Stoic tossed out that inflammable grenade, he didn’t imagine that that weapon could kill the attacker in an instant in such close combat; he only wanted to burn up that fighter all over and drive the opponent mad. As long as the opponent’s visual and auditory senses and responsive capability were reduced a bit, it would be enough for Hawbon Stoic to kill him.

When Hawbon Stoic landed on the second floor, he had already unsheathed his long sword.

Some shadows charged at Hawbon Stoic. Hawbon Stoic also charged at those shadows without demur. Meanwhile, his 5 subordinates broke in through that window. A fierce and bloody battle happened in this ruined building in a split second…

…

There were 7 enemies in total. After Hawbon Stoic killed 2 of them, there were only 5 enemies, one of them was a LV 9 fighter too. This LV 9 fighter caused the largest casualty to Hawbon Stoic’s squad.

When Hawbon Stoic was fighting that LV 9 fighter, two of the 5 team members who broke in through the window on the second floor had already been killed by that LV 9 fighter of Sacred Alliance Empire. Hawbon Stoic had killed another enemy and injured one. As a result, there were only 3 enemies and a wounded man.

All the rest 5 fighters of the Aoto Empire who broke in with Hawbon Stoic were clenching their teeth with fury and roaring with red eyes. When Hawbon Stoic was fighting that LV 9 fighter, his 5 subordinates divided into 3 groups tacitly, one person was responsible for dealing with that wounded personnel; the other 4 were responsible for dealing with the rest two opponents in two groups.

The two fighters of the Sacred Alliance Empire fell to the ground in the blink of an eye. At this moment, the wounded opponent roared. When a subordinate of Hawbon Stoic pierced through his heart with a long sword, that wounded person instantly hugged his opponent and bit his throat like a wild beast, breaking the latter’s throat and windpipe in an instant. Hawbon Stoic’s subordinate instantly moved his long sword horizontally through his opponent’s heart and reached the latter’s left armpit.

“Long Live, God!” that fighter of Sacred Alliance Empire roared as he instantly detonated a portable inflammable grenade. As a result, the two people turned into a fireball at the same time before rolling down the second floor through the window.

When he found all of his subordinates had been killed, that LV 9 fighter who was fighting Hawbon Stoick forced Hawbon Stoick to retreat with one strike. Closely after that, he intended to escape through the window.

The moment he jumped off the window, he had sensed a sharp and powerful bolt shooting at him in the dark.

With a clank, the LV 9 fighter of Sacred Alliance Empire blocked off the first bolt with his long sword. However, at the same time, the bolt gave out a flame that instantly covered him, turning him into a fireball. Meanwhile, he started to wail aloud.

Hawbon Stoic also jumped out of the window as he slashed the fireball into two halves with his long sword before falling to the ground…

Watching the flames inside and outside the building, Hawbon Stoic wiped off the raindrops from his face as he roared in a muffled voice, “Retreat…”

Only 4 of the 7 people who rushed in the building with Hawbon Stoick came out. After chopping off their enemies’ heads as fast as possible and held their booties, they clenched their teeth and gradually disappeared in the heavy rain with Hawbon Stoick while mixing their tears with raindrops…
