Chapter 1403: Night Dive
When it was already quite dark, powerful searchlights began to shine from the fortress of St. Limen in the direction of the alliance.
Although the searchlight lamps often burned out, the kingdom's soldiers quickly replaced them with new ones.
— Everything is fine? A woman's voice suddenly rang out from a pit 300 meters away from the trenches..
— Shut up.
The pit immediately became quiet.
— Don't touch me here, I feel awkward...
— …
— You're clearly using the assignment as an excuse to get in the way of your subordinate. You should be court-martialed. Ah~... I was wrong.
A head cautiously poked out of the deep hole and looked around.
— No enemies in sight? The assistant asked and glanced at Su Xiao, but there was no sign of him anymore.
In the shell crater, about ten meters away from the pit with the assistant, Su Xiao was choking a man with his hands over his mouth and nose.
— Oooh...
*Click!*
Along with a sharp click, the man stopped struggling.
A black shadow leaped forward and the knife stabbed between Su Xiao's legs.
Su Xiao kicked his assistant in the side and heard a very familiar sound that Bubtny usually made when he kicked him.
The assistant looked at Su Xiao bitterly.
— Is dead.
— Uh-uh~... Him? " the assistant asked, shaking the corpse by the collar.
She almost stabbed him, but it didn't really matter. Her temper and strength were not something that ordinary girls could have.
Su Xiao took out his night vision goggles and tossed them to the assistant. Catching the glasses, she put them on with a puzzled expression.
Stretching out her hand in front of her, she was stunned.
Today she discovered a new world for herself.
Su Xiao's night vision goggles definitely didn't match the technological level of this world. Now everything in front of the assistant's eyes was covered in green, but unusual things had a slightly different shade, which made it possible to easily distinguish the earth from a person..
The assistant looked at Su Xiao and said, "You're too green," and smiled smugly, causing Su Xiao to almost kick her again.
The assistant wasn't mad at him because of that blow. After working with Su Xiao, she realized that in his mind, she was clearly not a weak girl, but a soldier, and on the battlefield, he didn't see the difference between men and women.
Su Xiao pointed to one of the shell holes ahead, where two enemy soldiers were lying in ambush.
They were supposed to stop anyone who tried to sneak into the fortress.
Since it was now pitch dark outside, the battlefield was dead silent, with only the occasional sound of gunfire rolling through the surroundings. Most of the shots were fired only at recruits who were trying to intimidate the enemy, but all these shots did not achieve any serious effect. Experienced soldiers, and even more so veterans, were not afraid of such random shots, they would wake up only because of the whistle of a shell flying directly at them.
The assistant looked at the shell crater that Su Xiao pointed out. She understood what Su Xiao meant. There were five people in one of these craters, and only two in the other.
Su Xiao had to clear the crater with five soldiers, while she had to clear the crater with two.
The assistant slowly crawled on the ground to the crater with two people.
When the spotlight slid across her, she stopped immediately. After waiting for a while, she looked in Su Xiao's direction, but he was no longer there.
After squeezing the enemy soldier's throat, Su Xiao yanked on his left arm, and the bloodied threads immediately returned to his hand and spun on a reel.
Under the cover of night, Su Xiao saw another bomb crater nearby.
— A muffled groan came from the bomb crater next door. His assistant wrapped her legs around the enemy soldier's neck.
The knife flashed in her hand and the next moment it was buried in the top of the man's head.
Although he went limp and started to fall to the ground, the assistant still held on to him tightly, causing him to end up hitting the soft ground.
Behind her, a soldier lay with his throat more than half cut, causing a lingering smell of blood to permeate the pit.
After brushing the dirt off her body, she stood up and looked at Su Xiao. She thought that she had dealt with her opponents faster than him and might have been able to help him eliminate the enemies in time.
When the assistant crawled up to him, she frowned because she didn't smell blood, but when she saw the five neatly stacked bodies without any obvious signs of death, her ego was hurt.
And it was she who had come to help him...
— Well done, " Su Xiao said as he buttoned up his clothes.
He had already changed into the kingdom's military uniform.
— Ten seconds, " Su Xiao said and tossed her a set of kingdom military uniforms. The assistant sighed.
After a few seconds, the girl wearing the kingdom's uniform was ready to move on.
— A knife, " Su Xiao said, looking at his assistant's knife. She was confused and clearly didn't want to part with it, because this knife clearly had some special meaning for her.
— Disgusting, " the assistant muttered and stuck her knife into the ground, then picked up the knife of the slain kingdom soldier. — Done.
— ?.. — Su Xiao was slightly puzzled.
— If we do this, you will give me your sword, " she said, voicing a condition that Su Xiao would obviously never have fulfilled.
— Oh, I know a good cemetery..
— Ha, I was just kidding. This knife is pretty good, in excellent condition, no cracks… And if they have cracks, they are so elegant…
Su Xiao and his assistant continued to advance further.
They were already only 100 meters away from the enemy trenches.
The most difficult part of getting into enemy territory was getting within 50 meters of enemy trenches. This area was illuminated by hundreds of spotlights and there were no blind spots at all. As soon as someone entered this area, they would immediately be caught in the enemy's line of sight, and there were countless snipers watching this stretch.
And this zone was at least 20 meters wide. Even with Su Xiao's speed, it was impossible for him to jump over it without being noticed. The snipers ' dynamic vision was astounding. They might not even be able to see Su Xiao, a single suspicion would be enough for them to raise an alarm, and once it was raised, the suspicious area would immediately be covered by artillery.
During the night, a rabbit tried to cross this area, but it was almost immediately torn to pieces by an accurate sniper shot, but artillery fire and heavy machine gun fire subsided only a few minutes after its death.
— What'll we do? the assistant asked, looking at the illuminated area.
— Wait, " Su Xiao replied, then took out a timer and set it to count down for 3 minutes.
Three minutes passed in the blink of an eye.
In the trenches on the alliance side, a man with extensive burns on his face poked his head out of the trench.
— Who would have thought that the Ghost itself would ask for my help, " the man muttered, grinned ominously, and aimed in the direction of the fortress.
*Bang, bang, bang!..*
The sound of gunfire pierced the night sky.
One by one, bullets began to fly into the lightning-proof pillar at the top of Saint Limen's Fortress, then ricocheted and scattered in different directions.
One of these bullets eventually hit a bundle of wires on the territory of the fortress.
For a moment, all the searchlights went out, and at the same time, a figure rushed towards the trenches of the kingdom, carrying something in his arms.
