Chapter 1629 Breaking In
Several premature cries accompanied the explosion... In short, the earlier scene went out as such.
--2 minutes before the explosion.--
Several Adonis followers leaned on the other side of the heavy metal door, listening to the Incoming footsteps.
With careful analysis, they knew these intruders had arrived here without pulling barrels or carrying heavy quantities of black powder.
Let them be clear. If one places 3 to 4 barrels of black powder on the door, it should blow up.
No matter how carefully they tried to place the barrels down, the hallway floors on the other side were made to echo the littlest noises.
They had been listening in like how professional vault crackers listen to a safe's 'heartbeat.'
Nothing.
They could only hear the steady footsteps of these intruders.
Again, even if 2 people carried the barrels, their footsteps should also sell them out.
Who were they? Adonis's followers who were at the top tier in terms of power in this world.
Their training wasn't ordinary, and the moment they understood their reality, they decided to change strategies. But for their plan to succeed, they must first lure their enemies where they want before sealing these bastards in here.
As they say, one must tackle their current problem before delving into other matters.
So how they would escape the building was put on a later matter. For now, they first needed to escape the underground floors and emerge to the surface floor.
Bottom line, these people didn't come along with barrels of black powder. Even if they brought a handful of black powder, it wouldn't be enough to destroy a sturdy door of this caliber.
So being as smart as they were, they had already made their plans, knowing the intruders would send people to bring black powder here after realizing the door was shut.
This was the battlefield, and every second counts.
So the enemy would swiftly not sit and wait for them to die of starvation in hopes of forcing them out.
Again, the enemy would be afraid that they would hold some of the giants hostage. So the intruders should be more impatient than them. The fact that they stormed into the inner sector and first targeted the prisons showed they were here for the giants in their custody.
Look at it...
After accessing the matter, aren't they more likely to get through this hurdle?
Of course, these guards had plans without knowing the enemy's true potential.
They had heard and only vaguely seen the explosions after hearing the gut-wrenching cries from their comrades. A wise man knew when to back down and rethink their strategy.
Some were looking off in the many office rooms on the ground floor when the attacks commenced.
Some were preparing to carry large heaps of molded and water-soaked bread for the prisoners, while others were already underground, patrolling and bullying the prisoners to their heart's content.
So when the attacks began, they also wanted to go out and fight back. But after hearing the cross of their comrades and seeing the casualty rate, they dared not act rashly anymore.
It was then that they devised their grand scheme of trapping the enemy down below.
But if they had anticipated the enemy destroying this door with black powder, how would they do the trapping?
Easy. Lead them to the place many call the bloody chambers. It was a torture room ok the 1st floor that allowed the horrible screams of others to all underground floors.
It had a good psychological effect because whenever prisoners from the 3rd floor were tortured, those on the 1st floor with lesser crimes were always the first to wet themselves
They would have sleepless nights, wondering if they too, would have such a gruesome fate. And many times, they became more obedient than before.
Leaning on the door, the Adonis followers who acted as bait, smiled merrily. In whispery tones, they couldn't help feeling proud.
"Good. Good. It's all going according to plan. They tried opening the door and should be discussing countermeasures."
"That's for sure."
"Okay. Everyone get ready. Once the black powder is brought, we'll move away and wait for their chase."
"Ah!" One of the followers, with his ear to the door, couldn't help smiling from molar to molar. "That's it! They are risking away now... Wow! They're running so fiercely."
"Pfft~... It's like Battleford Hildo said. They are more anxious than we."
Suddenly, the follower listening in frowned. "Something doesn't feel right. Why do they keep counting down?"
4... 3... 2...
The Adibis followers looked at each other and understood.
They miscalculated.
"RUN!"
~Boom!
It was already too late. And all they could do was scream while suddenly finding themselves flying through the air like a disc.
But the worst was yet to come.
~Slash!
Many watched their bodies get sliced and diced by the many exploding metal parts while in mid-air.
Heads rolled, blood splattered, and intestines sprung from their open bellies as the strange heat fried them to a char.
Their dark, fried, and dried-up blood coated the walls and ceiling, giving it an even gloomier look.
Till these Adonis followers took their last breaths, they still didn't understand how they had miscalculated.
Did the enemy really bring in barrels of black powder without them noticing?
Out from the smoke that rose around the shattered doors was Landon's group, slowly emerging as though they were in an Indiana Jones movie. They swaggered in calmly as though not fazed by the destruction behind.
[Dead Adonis followers]: (?...?)... Our beloved God, Adonis, will judge you!
.
Like so, the matter with the door was dealt with. But the many Adonis guards ahead, took the explosion to mean their plan was going well as predicted.
The torches hanging on the walls of the prison hallways had all been quenched, and the entire place was inky dark.
Hehehehehehehe~
A wicked light flashed across the faces of many Adonis guards.
Now they were waiting for their bait to lure the enemy to the torture chamber. But what came next left them in tears.
Night Mode on… SILENT Rifles in hand… Steady, aim… Fire.
~Bang!
The Baymardians had no time to waste. This bloody war has been on for too long.
Landon chewed his gum while casually staring at his watch.
"15 minutes… That's it. Round things up and get the hostage out."
"Yes, sir!"
