Chapter 872: Lucius rescue operation (1)
Author's Note (click on the left text).
The air was tense, since Noah's plan was going to be executed soon.
"Is everything clear?" The clone said.
For Becker, it was especially weird to be the one who received orders, but he couldn't deny it. Noah's plan was not bad, not bad at all.
"Yes," Richard said. "A team will help us reach the Prison tunnel stealthily and to enter. They will stay at the door to keep the escape clear. Once inside, is up to us."
"Yes, remember to make your way to the guard's command center on the third floor. That's where you'll find the location of Lucius's cell."
"I'm still unclear about how you got that information. Can the source be considered reliable?"
"The source is one of my agents. It took the place of a guard. It wasn't easy, as he had to study the guy for a long time, but he succeeded in his mission. When you enter, he will do what he can to open all the prison's doors. You should be able to go inside unhindered, but be careful. The Blackguards knew we were going to act. They didn't know when."
"Me and Richard did these kinds of things a lot of times. We know what to do. Don't worry," Becker said.
Noah watched them, prepared for battle. Richard shouldered his massive war hammer, while Becker, a master of combat, required no weapon.
He could conjure various arms using his brain crystal power along the way. Caiden, on the other hand, wielded a simple sword.
The group left the meeting room; They had to move on foot.
Most of Noah's troops were already moving, killing the guards inside the prison, one after the other.
There wasn't much time, and they couldn't kill a lot of them, since a simple call could ruin everything.
Soon, they reached the entrance of a tunnel. There was team there already, with at least 10 guards dead on the floor.
"Is everything clear?"
"Yes," the clone said. Since he was Erik's clone, he didn't use a deferential tone with the older
men.
It took little for the guards to be unable to fight. Then, the grim task awaited the trio. Richard crushed their heads with his war hammer. Caiden simply slashed at their throats with his sword, while Becker sent highly compressed air into their skulls.
The area was littered with dead bodies and the scent of blood not much time later.
With expressions filled with sorrow, the three individuals glanced at the lifeless bodies before them, feeling a sense of helplessness as they realized there was little they could do.
This was a war before being a rescue mission.
"Let's go."
The group kept moving stealthily through the building. They reached the first floor, and then the second.
They steered clear of areas heavily guarded, and although their prior tactic was effective, they knew it couldn't be overused.
To kill too many people was dangerous, so they had to resort to avoiding them whenever they
could.
"How much till the third floor?" Becker asked.
"Based on what Noah said, there should be a pair of stairs nearby. The elevator is not safe, the stairs aren't either, but at least we can escape from there," Richard said.
With that, the trio reached the third floor. They didn't find a single cell, until now, but that's
was because they had to reach a room on the other side of the complex.
The cells were on the eastern side, and likely, Lucius's cell was there, too.
"I hope Lucius is ok."
"You are not the only one."
"There is something else that scares me, though," Becker said.
"What?" Caiden asked.
Becker stopped to think for a second, then said: "What will his son do if he is dead?"
