It's better to conquer them than to command the steel torrent

Chapter 73 Chapter | Unorganized Assassination (Seeking Follow-up Reading)

The convoy was driving on the street, and there was no sniper team to cover it during the process, after all, they couldn't fly.

A corporal noticed a suspicious-looking guy among the crowd of onlookers. The man squeezed out of the crowd with his hands in his pockets and began to take things out when the convoy passed by.

So the corporal fired a warning shot, the first one a blank.

The man ignored him, took out a bomb and was about to pull the trigger.

However, without any warning, three bullets suddenly shot out and interrupted his movements. Two bullets hit his chest and one hit his head, ending the potential threat without leaving any room for maneuver.

Nearly a hundred meters away, several 9mm shell casings fell on the stone floor with a crisp sound, and the ZK-383 submachine gun in the hands of a female sergeant was still emitting smoke.

"Attack!"

"Protect Her Majesty!"

Everyone's attention was drawn there.

Shang Ke calmly scolded: "Don't panic! Pay attention to your surroundings! There might be..."

Sure enough, there were attackers on the other side of the street too!
At this moment, a black improvised bomb was thrown at the Skoda bulletproof car. The bomb fell to the ground and rolled forward.

In a flash, the tall female sergeant next to Shang Ke jumped off the sidecar motorcycle and picked up the submachine gun.

"Tat-tat--"

She aimed and fired with lightning speed, and the bullet flew out of the chamber and hit the bomb rolling on the ground accurately.

This wasn't a movie, so bullets certainly weren't enough to detonate the explosives. However, multiple rounds ruptured the outer casing, turning the contained explosion into a deflagration, significantly reducing its power.

The bomb suddenly exploded like a firework, bursting with dazzling light, sparks flying, and a heat wave surging in all directions.

The gunshots rang out again, and the female sergeant continued to fire, killing the second attacker.

what?
Everything happened in a very short period of time, so fast that people couldn't react.

Afterwards, the armored vehicles in front and behind the convoy retreated or advanced, tightly encircling the Skoda bulletproof sedan in the middle.

Soldiers evacuated citizens from both sides of the street and imposed martial law in the area.

"Check the body! Where is the camera? Go take pictures and record." Shang Ke looked around and gave instructions.

"Damn assassin!" Lucas yelled.

The sudden and unexpected attack made the old man very angry.

Shang Ke gave a thumbs up and an appreciative look to the two female soldiers who had just fired.

Then he walked towards the bulletproof car.

The damaged and exploding improvised munitions did not damage the sturdy Skoda armored car, only scratching some of the paint.

Through the thick bulletproof glass, one could see Sigrid sitting inside pretending to be calm, but when the two looked at each other, a hint of panic clearly flashed in her green eyes.

Shang Ke smiled calmly, nodded, then turned and walked away.

The identity of the assassin will definitely not be clear for the time being, but everyone initially judged that this was not a professional assassin who had planned it for a long time, but probably a radical guy who hated Sigrid.

Ten minutes later, the convoy continued to move forward until it arrived at its accommodation, the Maria Hotel.

The hotel has been heavily guarded, with a guard post every three steps and a sentry every five steps. An armored vehicle is parked at the main entrance, and a sniper team is deployed on the top-floor balcony.

In Shang Ke's words, not even a fly can fly in here.

Clara opened the door, took out the slippers for Sigrid, and then helped her put her hat and handbag aside. "They actually wanted to kill you, they will go to hell." Clara shouted angrily.

Sigrid was still a little dazed—not quite frightened, but definitely a little frightened.

She tried to remain calm and said softly, "I need to get used to this kind of risk."

Sitting on the sofa, she looked out the window and was distracted. Her father's teachings before leaving came to her mind - whether it is a person or a thing, it is impossible to make anyone completely satisfied, so just try to get the approval of the majority.

Clara exclaimed with admiration, "The guards provided excellent protection. The assassin was shot dead as soon as he appeared. I saw Major Shang praise those two ladies. They are the best fighters."

"I thought you could give out medals..."

"I think I could award a medal to..."

The two of them said the same thing in unison.

Meanwhile, in the hotel lobby, Shang Ke was talking to the captain of the guard, Lucas.

It can basically be concluded that the two assassins were unpremeditated and acted on impulse, which is exactly the type that is most difficult to guard against.

Lucas said sincerely, "I want to express my gratitude to you on behalf of Her Majesty the Queen. The Guards' training has stood the test of time."

Shang Ke was quite satisfied with today's situation and said nonchalantly, "This is called unexpected, but reasonable."

Then, Shang Ke called the two female sergeants who fired the shots and had a chat with them.

On the one hand, he wanted to comfort them. After all, depriving others of their lives would still have some psychological burden, and one needs to accept it bravely afterwards; on the other hand, he wanted to know in detail how they felt when they fired at the enemy.

The tall female sergeant looked very depressed, with a blank look in her eyes; the other one was better and relatively calm.

"Relax, God is responsible for the judgment of sin. Your decisive action has protected more people. You are not at fault." Shang Ke tried to comfort her and said to the translator, "Go call a priest."

The translator nodded and called for a priest to come over in Hungarian.

Shang Ke sighed softly with mixed emotions and turned to the tall female sergeant major and asked, "Eva, describe your feelings at that time."

Eva answered truthfully: "Sir, I didn't have any special feelings. I saw the bomb rolling on the ground, shot at it, and then aimed at the attacker and shot. That's it."

Eyes, heart and hands are all there.

This description is too easy, just like eating and drinking water.

"Do you feel like other people are slowing down in your eyes?"

"Hmm..." Eva thought for a moment and described, "When you focus on using your abilities, it does feel like everyone else is a little slower, but I think it's more of a psychological effect. In reality, I feel like I've become incredibly alert. It's an amazing feeling."

"Okay, I understand." Shang Ke patted her shoulder and said with a smile: "Also, if you feel bad later, go and talk to the pastor."

"Okay, Mr. Counselor."

Of course, supernatural warriors cannot use their abilities without limits. Generally speaking, qualified warriors who have undergone special training can use their abilities naturally without deliberately activating them.

Of course, the prerequisite is to carry auxiliary tools with you, except for a very small number of gifted people.

Because of this, sometimes small accidents happen.

For example, a female sergeant major assigned to the command center was so focused on reading a letter from her fiancé that she accidentally shared her thoughts, and the other girls in the dormitory also got to know about it.

In addition, Shang Ke remembered that once when they were having a meal, a female sergeant saw a fly buzzing by and subconsciously slapped the fly towards the face of the person next to her.

The reason why I remember it so clearly is because it was him who caught the fly on his face.
