Arknights, Suika's Messenger Journey

Thinking of this, Suika's lips curled up. Regardless of whether the person inside was a shapeshifter, at least she could be sure of one thing: the other party did not know her abilities.

And now, the opponents they have to face are not themselves, but the members of the Storm Commandos who have already reached the edge of the abandoned factory.

Suika felt no guilt at all for involving Victoria's army.

After all, this is the Stormtroopers. Think about the horn and bagpipes. Even if there are differences in strength among other members, the difference will not be too big.

For a team like this where everyone is a Terran superman and can fight ten enemies at once, facing a dozen or so bandits who, in Suika's opinion, are just ordinary mercenaries, it's easy to imagine what the outcome will be. They'd be considered quite capable if they could survive the first wave.

"Horn, our mission is not here. Will there be any problems if we act rashly now?" asked the cello on the side.

“Others have had their request letters shoved in their faces, so why bother hiding it?

Also, our purpose here is to find the spy from Colombia.

But the appearance of this letter means that our undercover plan has failed, and we can only act openly from now on.

He was able to find us, yet he used such a ridiculous excuse as saving two students from robbers to expose us. I want to see what this mysterious man from Londinium has in store for us."

Horn slapped the letter, which had appeared at the door of their house at some unknown time, into Cello's hand.

She is in a rather bad mood now.

As one of Victoria's proudest armies, she has always believed that the Storm Commandos are among the best in Victoria.

But she didn't expect that no one noticed the letter being posted on the door, which made her very angry.

This anger is not directed at others but at oneself.

Because if the other party had malicious intentions, then they would have died there long ago.

The fact that the other party did not attack but left a letter proves that he is not an enemy, or at least has no ill intentions.

She planned to rescue the person according to the information in the letter. Firstly, she wanted to give face to the person behind the letter, and secondly, she wanted to find clues about the person behind the letter through the rescued hostages.

"Horn, targets detected... Seventeen in total, two of them hostages...

There's something off about these guys; they don't look like your average kidnapper."

A voice came over the communicator, sounding doubtful.

"Hide first, Triangle, we'll be there soon!" Horn, who was originally preparing to rush in and catch the enemy off guard, reached out to stop his teammates' actions after hearing Triangle's words, and then went around to Triangle, who was responsible for monitoring the movements.

"what happened?"

"Look, these people..." Triangle pushed aside the grass and looked at the target in the distance through the gap.

After a quick glance, Horn understood what Triangle meant.

Although the opponent looked very ordinary, their stance was that of a typical military defensive formation.

Everyone can be seen by at least two teammates and stay close to various abandoned objects. No matter which direction they are attacked from, they can hide behind various objects to resist the attack and fight back in the first time.

So, this is no ordinary group of robbers...

However, even though the opponent seems to be not easy to deal with, Horn still has enough confidence in his players.

After the two returned to the team, they immediately rearranged the battle plan, and then the Storm Commandos split into two teams, one of which went around the other side.

After the success, the horn in the original direction used the shield cannon in his hand first and bombarded the target with a shell.

In order to prevent the other party from using the hostages as shields, Horn deliberately included the hostages in the explosion range.

Although they were at the very edge, the situation gave people the feeling that they were here to wipe out the entire team, not to rescue anyone.

This would actually give the two hostages a chance to survive.

In response to this, Suika, who was standing on a high platform not far away and witnessed everything, said that she had underestimated the captain. Although her behavior was a bit rough and more like the Ursus anti-terrorism style, it had to be admitted that the effect was quite good in this situation.

After being suddenly hit, the dozen or so people indeed fell into panic for a short time.

Chapter 228: The mantis stalks the cicada, Cuixiang is behind

In the panic, someone tried to take the two hostages away.

As a result, we saw that the carriage carrying the hostages was blown upside down, and the whole carriage was overturned on the ground with the two hostages trapped underneath.

If they wanted to take the hostages away, they had to turn the carriage over again.

This takes time and the help of several people.

But what they lack now is time.

It is still unknown who launched the attack, but from the shelling it can be seen that the other party must be military personnel.

So the leader didn't dare to be careless and rushed into the factory with his men.

Try to navigate the more complex terrain here and engage in close combat with the Stormtroopers.

At this time, the team that went around behind them also launched an attack. Being surrounded from both sides, the enemy was forced to retreat faster.

Soon the overturned carriage was surrounded by Storm Troopers.

"Captain, great job.

Both hostages were slightly injured and were trapped under the carriage.

The hostages have been rescued, what next?"

The triangle responsible for rescuing people exclaimed in the communication channel.

“No, keep chasing.

I suspect that the other party is our target this time!"

The others were shocked by what the horn said.

They thought that their exposure this time would alert the spies later, but they didn't expect that the other party would meet them by such a coincidence.

The few people who had been a little unfocused just now suddenly perked up.

After ensuring the safety of the two hostages, Triangle chose to leave them where they were, and then followed Horn to pursue the retreating suspected targets.

At this time, Fengdi, who was rushing the fastest in the front, had already raised his city-breaking spear and started fighting with the enemy.

When they saw the weapons in Bagpipe's hands, those people's faces changed.

The city-breaking spear is not a weapon that an ordinary army can equip.

Regardless of the legion, anyone who can equip this weapon must possess powerful strength and terrifying power. Each one is the elite among the elites.

Now, in front of them was just a Vaifan girl who looked to be in her twenties.

This made these people feel a little uneasy.

You have to know that their identities are not ordinary.

If it was just an ordinary robber, the worst that could happen was surrendering, and in this case the maximum sentence would be ten years in prison.

But they are different, they are spies from Colombia.

This time they kidnapped these two people by chance. They found a clue related to Lentinim, and the key figure was Principal Elisa Shihuaiya.

Originally, they received information that Alyssa would come to receive the supplies, so they ambushed her in advance and prepared to kidnap her.

But unexpectedly, the two people who were kidnapped in the end were two assistants who knew nothing about anything.

Then if one plan fails, they will try another.

Disguised as a kidnapper, he tried to lure Alyssa out.

Of course, besides this one, there was another one that entered the city.

If Alyssa did not come but arranged other men to come, they would find an opportunity to kidnap her.

The reason for this choice is that according to their understanding, there is currently no one available around Alyssa, otherwise the task of receiving such a large amount of supplies would not be handed over to two assistants.

Moreover, they felt that even if the other party called the police, given the working style of the Victorian military and police, by the time they were ready, they would have already obtained the intelligence and retreated.

As for these two hostages and the person who came to deliver the money... they had no intention of letting them go back at all.

The reason they didn't kill these two people before was because they were confident that they could end the lives of these two people who had seen their faces under any circumstances.

However, what they didn't expect was that accidents are often more severe than plans.

Not long after they arrived here, they were attacked by Victoria's elite troops.

After realizing something was wrong, they had no choice but to abandon the hostages and retreat deeper.

But the opponent's attack was also very fierce.

The Vaifan woman rushing in the front hardly looked like a human being.

In this narrow space, she could swing the city-breaking spear with great force, which made the spies, whose weapons were so different from hers, dare not even have any contact with her weapons.

Sitting by the window, Suika watched the members of the Storm Commando team compressing the opponent's space at lightning speed and forcing them into a dead corner of the factory. She couldn't help but sigh.

With this level of strength, they are among the most elite and cutting-edge group on Rhodes Island.

She couldn't help but feel sorry that such a powerful and promising team died in Xiaoqiu County, and was stabbed in the back by their own people.

But on second thought, maybe in Terra, backstabbing is Victoria's traditional program.

For example, by now, the Steam Knights should be almost dead with only one left.

If it weren't for the tacit consent and even help of the Grand Dukes, even if Theresis had great ability, he would not have been able to gather them all, and then trick them into entering the underground, put them in a narrow place that was most unsuitable for these Steam Knights to fight, and then kill them with his life.

Just as Suika was sighing, she suddenly noticed that Haojiao's gaze was sweeping over her, and she quickly disappeared through the window.

Horn looked over here with a look of doubt. She just felt that there seemed to be someone here, but when she turned her eyes around, she found nothing.

"Boom!" At this time, a loud noise came from the front, attracting the attention of the horn.

She turned her head and saw that almost all of the enemies were squatting on the ground with their hands on their heads in surrender, and above their heads, Bagpipe's battering lance had poked a hole as big as their head in the nearly 40-centimeter-thick concrete wall.

It was this blow that destroyed the remaining resistance of the opponent.

"Captain, where are you going?"

After tying up all the surrendered people, Horn, who felt she had forgotten something, came to the place where she had just "seen" the figure.

Although the place was empty, she frowned when she saw the dust on the windowsill.

Moreover, there was a faint aroma of wine lingering in the air, which did not escape her sense of smell.

There was someone here before!

This was Horn's first thought, and then looking at the messy and broken machines outside, she thought of what she had forgotten.

"What about the two hostages?"

Horn turned and asked as he walked towards where the hostages were.

"When we come over here, Cello will stay over there to protect the hostages and provide them with basic medical care. After all, Captain, that shot of yours..."

The two of them rushed to the carriage while talking.

But by this time the hostage had disappeared from the carriage, and the cello lay motionless on the carriage.

The two men hurried over and smelled a strong smell of alcohol as soon as they got close.

One look at Cello's appearance revealed that he was clearly drunk and unconscious.

There was also a note on his body that said "Thank you, I will take the hostage away."

Chapter 229: Don’t Drive Without a License

After confirming that Cello was safe, Horn held the piece of paper in his hand with a cold face.

"team leader…"

Seeing the look on Horn's face, Triangle was a little scared.

If he had known this would be the case, he should have asked Bagpipe, the brainless new girl, to accompany Horn.

At least the horn wouldn't be angry at the bagpipes even if it was really angry.

"You take the people back, I'm going to the nearby city."

Horn thought for a few seconds before speaking.

"But Captain..."

"Don't worry, since the other party chose to get Cello drunk, it means they didn't think highly of us from the beginning.

The Stormtroopers cannot be looked down upon like this.

I have an idea that since the other party chose this place to exchange hostages, there must be clues in the nearest city.
