Chapter 172 Have You Heard of the Decapitation Strike
Everyone was equipped with a laser sensor before the start of the competition.
If one was shot, his or her sensor would emit smoke.
The one whose sensor emitted smoke was "dead".
The commander stayed in the command post to take charge of the overall situation.
Ms. Shockley was the commander of Party Blue. Before her soldiers set off, she divided fifty them into three teams and asked them to capture the high ground on the mountain separately as soon as possible.
Generally speaking, the first party to occupy the high ground was basically the winner.
Arms were also distributed into three.
Ebony's team consisted of six people and had the least arms and personnel. If the other two teams were the vanguard, then Ebony's team was the one for rear service.
But there was no other way. After all, the competition was a regular one that would have its winner and loser, and not just a show.
Almost all stars were asked to be a soldier in the team for rear service to prevent them from getting hurt.
However, considering that Ebony had always been very strong in physical strength, Ms. Shockley decided to make her the captain of the rear service team.
Ebony was really happy instantly she knew she was appointed captain.
She had never led an army. Although she had only five soldiers, she was a high-ranking official!
Ebony suddenly became excited.
She saluted Ms. Shockley, promising that she would definitely complete the capture mission!
Ms. Shockley just smiled, didn't say anything to discourage her, and told her to set off first according to the route.
When going up the mountain, Ebony chose the road towards the right near a stream.
After walking for a while, she looked back and saw only two soldiers behind her.
Ethan and Alfredo were walking slowly by supporting each other in the distance.
Ebony frowned suddenly and shouted, "Could you respect military discipline?"
Ethan said tiredly, "Captain, I really can't walk anymore."
Ebony said unhappily, "We've only been walking for a while."
Alfredo complained wearily, "We've been walking for almost an hour. The clothes we are wearing are too heavy. And the bag and the gun add up to dozens of pounds."
Ebony said with a stern face, "What we are doing is no difference from the usual training with weights. It's only an hour, and there's still a long way to go, so hurry up!"
Ethan and Alfredo gritted their teeth and had to keep going.
After walking for more than half an hour, Ebony suddenly heard the sound of fighting in front.
The sound of fighting indicated that Party Red and Party Blue was in battle...
How the battle was going was unknown to Ebony.
Ebony ordered, "You stay on guard. I'll go scout their movements."
After saying that, she ran forward.
Unexpectedly, just after walking for a while, she saw the squad leader who was her roommate running towards her with two soldiers.
The squad leader was also from the Party Blue but was from another team to play the vanguard.
The squad leader was now very embarrassed, with dirty clothes and a gun in her hand. The two soldiers standing behind her were also in a mess.
Seeing Ebony's sudden appearance, the squad leader was startled and said hurriedly, "Go!"
Ebony didn't know what was going on, so she could only follow her to evacuate.
When the four of them ran back to the rear service team, Ebony asked, "What's going on?"
The squad leader gritted her teeth and said, "My team caught five soldiers of Party Red who were left alone and captured them. We thought it was a good start. But that was actually a trap set by the Party Red! Just now in the mountain in front, Party Red cooperated with the five soldiers, ambushed us, and destroyed our team of 22 people. Now there are only three of us left!"
Ebony frowned and asked, "Why didn't you kill them after catching them? Why did you just treat them as captives?"
Startled, the squad leader replied, "Usually out of humanitarianism, after the enemy puts down their weapons, they are given priority to be captured..."
Ebony pursed her lips in confusion because what the squad leader said was not what she was taught before.
What Max taught her was that, on the battlefield, either she killed or she was killed, and there was no such thing as humanitarianism.
But the regular army must be kind.
The commander of Party Red took advantage of the kindness of the regular army.
And the main commander of Party Red was Lloyd...
Ebony said to the squad leader and the other two soldiers, "You can follow us."
The three agreed.
Then the nine continued on their way.
But half an hour later, they heard fighting again.
When they arrived at the scene, they saw nothing but a sad result.
The twenty two soldiers of a team of Party Blue who played as vanguard were all "dead".
Looking at a large group of people whose sensors were emitting smoke all together, Ebony wanted to ask what happened, but those who had "died" couldn't speak. So Ebony didn't get any information from them.
Within less than two hours after the start of the competition, Party Blue consisting fifty people only had nine people left.
The situation was dire.
At this moment, the squad leader suddenly said, "Look there."
Ebony looked forward, and saw the flag of Party Red had been hung there high up.
This meant that if the Party Red was lucky enough, it might have already occupied the high ground.
Ethan asked confusedly, "Have we...already lost?"
The squad leader said, "No. We still have nine people."
Ethan said, "But the party who occupies the high ground first wins."
The squad leader shook her head, "Occupying the high ground is just a winning point. When the referees score, they give the party that occupies the high ground a lot of points, but this is not 100%. If we can annihilate the opponent and snatch the high ground before ten o'clock in the evening, that is before the end of the competition, we will be the winner."
Alfredo asked in disbelief, "But we only have nine people. How can we annihilate the opponent?"
The squad leader fell silent.
Yeah, they were totally at a disadvantage right now.
Party Red had fifty people, but Party Blue had only nine people.
Ethan and Alfredo couldn't even carry their guns.
Although they wanted to turn defeat into victory before the end, the possibility of winning more with less was really slim.
The squad leader looked at Ebony at this time and asked, "How about asking the commander for help?"
Ebony took out the walkie-talkie and went aside to negotiate with the commander.
After negotiating, she went back and said, "Let's move forward. Pay attention to hiding."
The squad leader asked, "Is there any strategy?"
Ebony shook her head.
Ms. Shockley was not good at fighting more with less, and was discussing with other commanders, but had not yet had a specific strategy.
At this moment, Ebony suddenly looked at the squad leader and said, "My soldiers are temporarily handed over to you."
The squad leader was stunned, "Huh?"
Ebony said, "As the captain of this team, I appoint you assistance captain. You lead them and don't let them 'die'."
The squad leader frowned, "What about you?"
Ebony said, "I'm still not used to be a captain. I'll be more comfortable when I act alone."
The squad leader asked in a worried voice, "What are you going to do?"
Ebony narrowed her eyes and asked, "Have you heard of the decapitation strike?"
Of course the squad leader had heard of it.
The squad leader asked with a look of shock, "You want to carry out the decapitation strike alone?"
Ethan hurriedly asked, "What? What is the decapitation strike?"
The squad leader replied, "It is a military term. It means killing the opponent's top commander."
Ethan was stunned, "But the opponent's top commander is..."
"Yes." Ebony moved her joints and said, "I'll kill Lloyd."
Others was shocked, "..."
Ebony glanced at the squad leader, patted her on the shoulder, turned around, and went away.
The squad leader looked at her back, gritted her teeth, and said to the others, "Go ahead and execute the commander's order!"
Alfredo looked back at the direction where Ebony had disappeared, and asked worriedly, "Is she okay?"
The squad leader did not respond.
Everyone fell silent. Everyone thought it was impossible for Ebony to make it.
Where the command post was located had a large number of soldiers and was strictly secured.
To break through the command post and kill the commander-in-chief on one's own was extremely difficult.
In the Party Red's command post at four o'clock in the afternoon.
With a "bang", three military vehicles suddenly "exploded".
In the command room, the commanders who were in a meeting were stunned.
A soldier came in to report, "Sir, the equipment area was ambushed and blasted by Party Blue."
Other commanders suddenly looked at Lloyd.
Lloyd's ink-colored eyes narrowed slightly. He looked at the satellite map on the monitor next to him. After a long while, he said solemnly, "Go catch them."
"Yes, Sir."
As the order passed on, a carpet search immediately began in the entire military region.
But after half an hour, nothing was found.
Some commanders guessed, "Did they run away?"
Someone said, "I guess they just came here to make trouble because of a desperate loss. No need to pay much attention to them."
Lloyd sat there and did not say a word from beginning to end.
After a while, other commanders left one after another.
When the command room was quiet, Lloyd suddenly smiled.
He was about to get up when the tent behind him was slashed open by a sharp blade.
Then, a vigorous and sturdy figure appeared, like a wolf dormant in the dark!
Suddenly, the figure rushed to Lloyd!
The movable live camera installed in the tent of the command room quickly focused the screen on the two people in the room.
There, Ebony stood behind Lloyd with a pistol.
The muzzle of her gun was against the back of Lloyd's head.
There was a sneer at the corner of Ebony's mouth.
She said, "I originally wanted to kill you, but now I change my mind."
She leaned over slightly, with a wolf-like killing in her black eyes.
She looked at the profile of Lloyd in front of her, and said slowly, "It is said that out of humanitarianism, if your opponent has no weapons, you should take him as a captive and can't kill him."
She walked to the front of Lloyd and pressed the pistol to his forehead.
Looking at his eyes, she said, "Mr. Vasquez, you are now my prisoner."
Lloyd looked at her whose cheeks were a little dirty, and nodded lightly, "Yes, I do."
