Modern Weapon Summoning System

Chapter 75 - Assault On Encampment



The trip that would take more than six hours by horse only took thirty minutes by car. They finally arrived at Liverley. It looked like that the whole village was normal aka business as usual. However, there was something new on the side of the town. There was an encampment that pretty much looked militaristic.

"That should be the military camp for our targets," Del stopped his car right before he entered the village.

"What's the plan, Del?" Anna asked.

"Alright, team leader, it's your turn now," Cole said.

"Well, let me think, Anna, give me the tablet, and show me the map of this entire Liverley region," Del asked Anna to give him his tablet.

Interesting… Liverley wasn't as flat as Del previously expected. There were two hills on the west and on the east side. The camp was located on the north side of the village so it would prove to be an advantageous vantage point for any marksman in their team. They could probably put Cassandra on one of the hills.

It also looked like that there was only one entrance to the village from that military camp itself. There was a large gap, probably as wide as two hundred meters between the military camp and the village that would serve as a kill zone. Cole probably would be able to hold them off from entering the village and making the villagers hostage. After all, he had a .50 BMG turret that could kill anything except for some creatures, such as the serpent.

The rest were Wolfie, Del, and Anna. Sure, they could attack the camp from multiple directions, but leaving Anna alone was certainly not an option. After all, Del couldn't leave someone who could barely hold the pain of sitting down on the chair of the car. Del decided that Anna and he would do an attack from the west side.

"Alright, here's the plan. Cassandra, you go to the hill on the east. Your job is to provide long-range assistance for all of us. You have to deal with the high-value target, or should I say, anyone that wore the shiniest armor. Cole, I'll park the car between the village and the military camp, your job is to make sure that nobody, absolutely nobody, gets inside the village. Anna and I would attack from the west side," Del said.

"Ah, clever. Anyone who ran to the north will be shot by me," Cassandra commented.

"Precisely, now, Cole, I will place the car around one hundred meters from the military camp. Your job is to shoot at anyone that runs at you, don't even shoot at the camp without my permission, alright? We don't want to risk any friendly fire here," Del explained.

"So my job is to guard the entrance to the village?" Cole sighed, "Fine…"

"Not so interesting, but it's quite important, in fact, you are the decisive factor whether this assault will turn sour or not, because, as far as I'm concerned, everyone on that camp could be killed," Del said.

"Yeah, time for a little payback," Anna put a magazine into her M16.

"Cassandra, you better walk since this car sticks out like a sore thumb. Anna, you and Wolfie better start walking, I will go to your position later. When you hear gunfire, start engaging, alright?" Del said.

"Ok," Cassandra walked out of the car, followed by Anna and Wolfie.

All of them started moving towards their designated position. Del waited around five minutes so he wouldn't accidentally compromise the safety of Cassandra and Anna. Truth be told, if the presence of that car somehow started a combat alert in that military camp, Del wouldn't be surprised. It meant that it was plan B and they had to use a more direct approach.

It didn't take too long until everyone arrived at their staged position. Cassandra's scope glare was very much indicating that she had arrived at the hill where she was supposed to be staying. Anna had arrived at the other side of the camp. It was all left to Del to drive to the gap between the village and the military camp.

"Cole, you need to remember something, if you think you're overwhelmed, just abandon the car, alright?" Del reminded Cole of that.

"Sure, sure, don't worry about it," Cole said.

"Alright, I'll have to go, take care, alright?" Del asked as he got out of the car with a machine gun in his hands.

Del circled around the military encampment while maintaining a wide enough distance from the encampment to make sure that no one took notice of him. Even if they did, he would look too small to be a threat for them all.

Del walked slowly in order not to get the attention of the rogue Elbanian soldiers. To be honest, some of them had begun looking at Cole and Del needed to hurry up or it would be dangerous for Cole. He eventually ran and arrived at Anna's position.

Anna was looking through the sight of her assault rifle. "Hmm, it looks like the security is not as tight as I expected. But well, I'm getting used to hero's party security so I can say that the security on this camp is pretty lax in comparison."

Well, let's see, two soldiers were patrolling around the north side of the camp. At least one archer was on each corner of the camp. Mages were basically circling the entire camp while looking for any hostile. Why would these people make a camp in broad daylight when they were hunted down by the Elbanian? Del had no clue, but money was still money.

"Look, Anna, see that soldier over there, I want you to kill him," Del pointed his hand at one of the soldiers that didn't wear any helmet.

Anna put her eye closer to the scope, "Consider it done." She pulled the trigger of her M16. 5.56 bullet flew to the head of that soldier, killing it instantly. The whole camp was immediately went on high alert. Soldiers were running out of their tents with their undergarments. They were scattering to wear their armor.

"Hmm, magic doesn't slow you, even one bit," Del commented.

"C'mon, marksmanship is the only thing I remembered from our pa, do you think I will forget it?" Anna asked.

"Let's move, Anna, I will provide suppressing fire while you pick at any target that you like," Del said as he lay himself down on the ground and deployed the bipod of his machine gun.

"Sure, fire away," Anna replied.

Del pulled the trigger of his machine gun. A stream of bullets immediately flew in the direction of that encampment, causing mass hysteria. Mages were shooting their fireball in the north direction, but they were too far away from Del.

"Del, 3 o'clock, an armored man with Mithril armor, engage him!" Anna pointed out the target for him.

"Alright, I will kill him," Del moved his machine gun in the right direction and he sprayed the man with the leftover AM-IHEAP ammunition from the rescue operation, turning the man into red mist.

Suddenly, an arrow landed right in front of his machine gun. Del didn't know who fired that arrow, however, Anna was useful. "Del, look at your 12, there's an archer located next to that red-striped tent, kill her!"

"Alright, got you!" Del said as he pulled the trigger.

The archer fell to the ground immediately after Del literally exploded her body with the rounds that he fired. Among her were also dead bodies, Cassandra seemed had picked some of her targets well. Evidently, some of the enemies that were running to the east side immediately had its head blown off. One really shouldn't underestimate that vampire sniper.

"Let's take a closer look at that camp," Del said as he stood up.

"Yeah, I agree with you," Anna said.

Both of them walked closer to the camp. Del led the way while Anna watched his flank. Their objective was the most obvious looking tent in that encampment. It should house the most important person in that military camp.

"Hmm, there's not enough blood here," Anna commented on the lack of personnel that she killed.

"Well, I do admit that this is nothing in comparison to the advanced tactics that the SSU used against us, still, this was a good warming up, don't you think?" Del asked.

"I have to admit it, it's fun," Anna replied.

Normally, if this was a normal condition, Del would be terrified by that statement. However, this was another world where her sister was burned alive, Del understood that more than anyone. "Yeah, killing Elbanian is fun."

Suddenly, footsteps could be heard from besides him. Suddenly, someone charged Anna with full force. Anna fell to the ground and the soldier tried to stab her in the chest. In split second, Anna pulled her combat knife and stabbed that soldier in the eye. Del responded with a quick burst from his machine gun.

"That was… rather close," Anna commented as she wiped the blood that dirtied her knife.

"Well, yeah, please be more careful," Del commented.

"How was my knife skill? Was that good enough?" Anna asked.

"That was impressive," Del said.

Anna kicked the body on top of her body and she stood up. "Damn, now my whole back felt the pain from being slammed to the ground. Bloody hell…" Anna kicked the soldier as far as she could from her feet.

He then entered the biggest tent on that encampment. Once he entered, he was greeted by someone none other than the commander of that unit. "So, you are the person that slaughtered my entire unit, did the military send you?" the person asked.

The commander was standing in front of a table with a map. He was a bearded man wearing a gold armor. Even from a glance, Del could tell that he was not someone to be messed with. "Military? Please, I hate the military."

"I don't care," the commander pulled his sword from his sheathe, "Even if you're not from the military, I will still kill you."

Del shot the sword with his machine gun, shattering it to pieces. "You know, my sister here has a little bit of grudge to the Elbanian. I think you'll be a good example," Del nodded while smirking.

The commander didn't fear, instead, he laughed, "That little girl? What can that bandaged girl do to me?"

Anna responded by shooting two bullets from her M16 to the feet of that commander. The commander groaned in pain as he fell to the ground. Anna put her rifle on her back, "So, commander, what do you think of this little girl?" She unsheathed her combat knife.

Without any hesitation, she immediately stabbed that commander in the eyes, multiple times. The commander groaned in pain, but Anna kicked his mouth with her combat boots, "Shut up, you have a way easier way to die than me!" She continued stabbing the commander until her hands were drenched in blood. Del was too busy to help, he was searching for a ledger.

She then wiped the dirty blade on the map on the table. "That was satisfying, anyway, what do we have?" Anna asked.

"Well, this book, and this ledger that the guild master wants us to find," Del said.

"Nothing else?" Anna asked.

"Well, nothing else, maybe we can loot off the bodies of the soldiers in this area, but we will need Cole and Cassandra to help us," Del said.

"Fair enough," Anna nodded.

"Yeah, we need money to kill Eric, after all," Del said.

"Correct."
