The enemy’s reason

Elsewhere in the city, the battle against the soldiers' group and the vigilantes continues. A group of soldiers tried to cross the road. However, they were immediately ambushed by their opponents.

BRAAAAH!

Two members of vigilantes came out of the windows and ambushed them using high-powered weapons. The weapons cried out as they spat countless specialized bullets at the soldiers. In that moment of the barrage, only the trailing of countless lights was caught in their eyes.

Guh!

Ngh!

Gyah!

Three soldiers were hit and killed instantly. Others quickly backed away. They hid in the poles, rubbles, and a nearby corner.

"Bwahaha! These f*ckers are quick to die!" Laughed the vigilante. "Come on! Don't hide, please Die!"

On the other block, Captain Salmon's group was currently exchanging attacks with the other group of vigilantes.

Pewpewpew!

At that moment,

One soldier ran to his side. "Captain! I got a call from Jones 'group! They suffered an ambush on the northern block! The opponents use high-powered railguns! Our comrades are losing and they suffered casualties!" Shouted one of Captain Salmon's men.

Even Captain Salmon's group in the eastern block did not advance immediately due to the opponent's high-powered magic-based guns positioned in a better position.

Based on his subordinate's report, it seemed like the groups he sent to circle the enemy had no result. Opponents were already waiting for them before they could advance. They could not retaliate because of the strength of their weapons. On top of that, some of their men were killed.

Captain Salmon's eyes narrowed at the bad news. "Tell him to hold their grounds! No matter what happens, don't back down. Never try to advance and wait for my next command." Clear command of Captain Salmon.

"What?!" Captain Salmon's forehead furrowed slightly. They couldn't give up their position because it would be even more difficult for them to advance later. They would certainly lose the initiative if they step back now.

Pewpewpew!

While exchanging attacks with vigilante opponents, another soldier approached Captain Salmon to give a report.

"Captain! Our marksmen are in position! They are just waiting for your order!" Upon hearing it, his face brightened. "Good!" Captain Salmon's cheerful response.

On the rooftop of a tall building, a soldier was crouching. He was holding a gun with a long barrel. About 50-60 inches long. One of his eyes was facing the 6 inches scope. He was aiming at the person who was holding a high-powered railgun in one of the windows of the building about 4.5 miles away from his position. He was one of the marksmen that the military assigned to this mission. In his hands was the C21ver Ultra-Range Spica Rifle. This rifle had good accuracy and had a good range.

Beside him, another person was crouching. The person held a telescope in his hands as he was looking at the same target.

In the next second, a small device that was attached to his shoulder made a tone. It was a call from a superior. The two of them shared a nod, prolly understanding each other.

After that quick exchange of nod, the marksman aimed the C21 Ultra-Range Beta Sniper Rifle at the person who was continuously raining shots to the group of soldiers that were hiding in some spots.

Looking at the group of soldiers like frightening rats, the vigilante laughed out loud.

"Bwahaha! What are you hiding, huh! Come out rats!" He shouted as he rained specialized bullets at them.

BRAAAAAH!

Pewpewpew!

The bullets of his high-powered weapon made countless holes on the walls and even broke the poles. Especially that there were two of them that were ambushing the soldiers. The soldiers could do nothing but hug their heads.

"Hehe! Cowards!" A wide grin could be seen on the person's face.

But soon, his grin froze when at the corner of his eyes, something twinkled. In the blink of an eye, the middle of his chest was pierced by something. A hole as big as a fist could be seen right where that straight light pierced him. There was an only shock in his face as blood dripped from his mouth. He fell soundlessly after that.

His comrades beside him were having shocked faces as well. They wondered what that was just now. "The f*ck happened?!" One of the vigilantes shouted when he noticed his comrade died with a hole in his body. But, as soon as he averted his eyes, he too was pierced by the same thing. The attack came from a different location from the first one. They were the attack from the marksman of the military, sniping the enemies from a long distance.

"Tsk! Take care! The frightened rats sought help from their daddy sniper!" One of the vigilantes shouted in mockery. But, his warning came too late because the marksmen had already neutralized the two vigilantes with high-powered guns. They were the main reason for the soldiers' predicament. Now that the vigilantes' offensive power was greatly reduced at the disappearance of those two, they finally were able to retaliate against the enemy's attacks unlike before in which they could only hide.

Inside a dark room, a person smiled hideously. Around her, corpses were lying. The person had a symbol of a heart on her hood. She was licking the blood that was sticking on her knife.

"Hehe," her chuckle echoed in that room. "This city will soon become ours," she muttered with a visible gleam in her eyes.

"W-what do you mean?"

"Oh! So, you wanna know, huh, Mayor Chan?"

Before the attack happened, Mayor Chan had a meeting with some city officials. But suddenly, a group of vigilantes intruded the place. They were killing the other officials and only he was spared. Well. At least he was still alive at the moment but who knows when this person in front of him was going to kill him.

"Y-You can't be serious, right?" Mayor Chan asked in a trembling tone.

"Oh, so killing these people here is still not serious in your eyes? Hehehe. How cute." The woman behind that hood said with a sadistic smile on her face.

"Why are you aiming for this city? This city is a backwater. If you want a city, the other city is a better choice than this…" said Mayor Chan.

"Fufufu. It's because it's a backwater city that's why we choose to attack this city, Mayor Chan."

"Wha—?! Do you mean… because of the weak se..cu...rity?"

"Bravo! So you get it, huh. Good job, Mayor Chan. As a reward for your intellect, I won't kill you yet. At least until the whole city fell in our hands."

Mayor Chan secretly sighed in relief upon hearing that. Nonetheless, if the soldiers failed to defend the city, he would still die later on. He prayed for the soldiers' success.

Mayor Chan found the courage to ask again. "But it wasn't the only reason, right?" He asked.

"Ufufu. I'm curious what made you say that."

"Because if it's only the weak security of the city your reason for invading, then you have more and better options you can choose than this city."

For Mayor Chan, although the HCZ7 truly had weak security as of now, it wasn't like this was the only city with that issue. Honestly, there were also other cities with the same problems as the HCZ7 but had a better economy.

"Fufufu. So?" The woman asked him.

"Your true reason for invading was... the dungeon. Am I right?"

"Fantastic! You're truly an intellectual person, Mayor Chan!" Said the woman. But she followed up saying, "Is what I would like to say, but. You miss the point here."

Mayor Chan knitted his brows. "What do you mean?" He asked.

"I've already told you about it. The dungeon is just a bonus to us. Our main goal is not just that. Our main goal is the whole city itself! Bwahahaha!" The woman guffawed.

"What?!" Mayor Chan was stupefied. "But that's impossible! The higher-ups will not turn a blind eye to this. Even if you succeed now in taking over this city, you will be torn apart by the Magic Association and the Government. They will definitely send powerful magicians to pulverize you."

"Fufufu. If they are willing to sacrifice those bigshots then what you said might come true."

From that reply, Mayor Chan fell silent as though he lost the ability to speak. 'Right! The VIPs!' He shouted in mind.

The next moment, the door of that room was pushed open. Then, a vigilante came in. He said, "Miss Love! The two defenders were slain!" He immediately reported.

Even after hearing his report, the woman with the heart logo on her hoodie still showed a delighted face. "Oh, I see. Then, let's abandon this area and proceed to the next spot."

"See you around, Mayor Chan. Fufufu. My mission goal is to hold this place for at least an hour. Since I have already achieved my goal, I have no reason to stay here any longer. I have to proceed to my next location based on our plan. I'm sure the other party already accomplished their missions as well, especially those in the competition venue. Puwahaha!" Her laughter echoed even until her figure disappeared from his sight.0

Her words resounded loud and clear in Mayor Chan's ears. After they left the room, Mayor Chan was left alone. There was a bitter expression on his face. "This is bad... really really bad..." Mayor Chan muttered.

A moment later,

"Blergh!" Mayor Chan was finally able to vomit. He was holding it the whole time. The strong smell of blood turned his stomach upside-down.wn.
