All Time Marksman

Wen Bao turned left and saw Cui Qiang. "BROTHER!" Wen Bao shouted in joy as both of them hugged. All the other Black Armored Knights felt the relief that they were being saved from being trapped. And Cui Qiang walked towards Wen Bao, who was also approaching him.

"Brother, how are you? Are you fine? Thank you for saving my squad thank you for your help" Cui Qiang deeply said those words.

Wen Bao replied in a calm tone of voice, "The person who lead this rescue mission also saved us. He is part of the SQUAD that was hired to help in this operation of taking over Jelkala City. And luckily, we have survived long enough to be saved by that person. Brother, I am not the one that you should give gratitude, but the Squad leader of the SQUAD that has helped us and plans everything to go smoothly" Wen Bao put his hand on Cui Qiang's left shoulder.

"So tell me how many Knights got wounded so we can transport them outside. I have 4 APC ready for them outside," Wen Bao added as he looked at Cui Qiang. "Well, I have 10 wounded and 2 dead bodies. We have buried the 2 dead bodies because it was already decomposing and it's demoralizing my men. So I just get their tab and buried them"

Wen Bao nodded and then looked at Gao Jie who also noticed Cui Qiang "Brother, long time!" he said with a excite tone of voice. And Gao Jie overs Cui Qiang a hand shake and laughed "Long time indeed" after their small reunion as they all get together for a moment.

They move out the wounded, "Alright take the 5 wounded and then help them get inside the first APC and then the second batch at the 2nd APC"

Wen Bao ordered to his men as he pointed the first APC that was parked outside of the building. As the 2nd batch of wounded where being transported inside the APC, there comes 2 more APC that is heading towards their location.

A sudden attack from the armed loyalist soldiers, they pulled the trigger of the machine gun that was mounted on a APC and fired a spray of bullets at the direction where Wen Bao and the others were transporting the wounded.

*BRRRRRRRTTTTT* *BRRRRRRRTTTTT* *BRRRRRRRTTTTT* *BRRRRRRRTTTTT*

"Take cover!" Wen Bao shouted as the Balck Armored knight dropped to the ground as the bullets prayed onto the thick armor of the APC. "Return fire!" Gao Jie ordered as the 4 APC gunners to fire at the incoming 2 APC. And both gunners exchange fire and it became intense.

But they also received some casualties, because of the 3 Black Armored Knights, who got grazed by a bullet that almost pierce through their armor. "Lucky it was only a scratch," one of the Black Armored Knight exclaimed as he raised his rifle and fires back at the machine gunner.

"Retro, grab the launcher at the black box!" Cui Qiang shouted as he takes cover on the wall while firing back with his rifle. After a few seconds, the Black Armored Knight returned.

"Sir, here is the launcher I also brough 3 rockets to be loaded inside this luncher sir" the Black Armored Knight replied as he knelt near Cui Qiang to take cover from the spray of bullets. They have been saving the rockets for sometime because they know it will be useful for the future and the time has come.

"Now it's time for its role." one Black armored Knight stated. The Black Armored Knight raised his head while also raising launcher that was on his shoulder. The launcher was an auto luncher which also has an auto locked target, one registering the location of the said target. "Sir, the launcher has locked its target you can put the rocket inside," Cui Qiang puts in the rocket inside the launcher.

The interface that the Black armored knight seeing is a crosshair with a red target on the left positioned APC that he was facing. The Black Armored Knight pressed the trigger, and the rocket fired.

Followed by the rocket being ignited and being fired into the place where the black Armored Knight got engulfed in a white smoke. The rocket traveled fast enough for the APC driver can't notice that it was already near its armor. The warning was a like a slam of a jackhammer pounded the side of the APC.

Next thing that happens was an enormous explosion. Followed by the enormous explosion were the fiery flames that also engulfed the APC after it exploded. The door opened and there were some Armed loyalist soldiers that were trying to putout the fire on their bodies but the bullets of the Black Armored Knights pierces through them killing them in an instant.

APC positioned itself on the right side while giving a heavy, intense suppressive fire, with that it saw what happened to the other APC that exploded the APC driver got frightened for his life so he tried to reverse the APC but then another rocket have already being fired at their direction. And after a split second interval, the right side APC also exploded.

The Black armored knights shouted in joy as they fend off the attack from an opponent that has an immense advantage over them. "That was a nice shot you have there, Retro," Cui Qiang commented as he tapped the shoulder of the Black Armored Knight.

As a reply the Black Armored Knight replied, "Thank you for the rockets sir, it was a noble thing you have my back, sir." After that engagement, they continue putting each of the wounded inside the APC. After a few minutes, the regulars followed they finished after 40 minutes and the convoy moves out of the location.

Meanwhile, Jin was standing and looking from other location of the garrison, but it was unusual that the other garrison were not making a move as they have seen the APC going towards the location of the entrapped forces of the Maskara Faction.

"I don't like this kind of wind brewing they are not even sending forces. This is not good on my side or am I just being cautious and overthinking"

Jin thought of himself as he looked at the gate that the 4 APC are entering. The APC stopped in front of Jin. And Wen Bao was the first one to step out from the APC, followed by Hu Gui and then Gao Jie and lastly Cui Qiang.

"Sir!" Cui Qiang saluted as he looked at Jin, who was standing in front of him. Cui Qiang felt the pressure that Jin was giving off it was not like any pressure it was different. "So this is the man that ordered to save me and my squad. As expected, I know he was not really an ordinary officer nor an ordinary team."

Cui Dinxiang commented to himself as he looked at the other teammates of Jin that was standing behind him. Jin replied, "nice meeting you would you like to say your name?" with that reply Cui Qiang felt the calmness and so he replied, "Sir, I am Cui Qiang the squad leader of the 4th Squad of the 34th Black Armored Knights Sir"

"Alright that is excellent now we need to retreat, Han Zian treat the wounded I want them healed for those who died may your pray for them." Jin ordered. After that, the entire group began a full retreat to the FOB that they have built.they reached the FOB after 2 hours. Qi Meili was again waiting outside because she knows Jin want a status report on the Purple Armored Knights.

Qi Meili saw there are 4 APC moving towards the FOB. She looked at the other forces and she signalled them to aim at the APC. Luckily at the front of the APC there was a black flag which stand for a signal that it's a friendly unit. The convoy stopped, and Jin was the first one to step out. And like in the past, Qi Meili quickly approached Jin.

"Sir, I am here to report that the Loyalist forces have once again struck an attack with the Purple Armored knights. This time around, they could still push them back. They say that they will only last for a few days or else they will be dead because of the use of power by the Loyalist forces. They also added that they have been struggling to defend their position."

Qi Meili ended as he had showed a drone reconnaissance they have made and sent to the Purple Armored Knight location. But it was quickly shot down after 3 minutes of flying to that location.

"Those bastards have keen eyes for drones then, well tell the Purple Armored Knights that we will come tomorrow morning or sooner. We cannot send troops or be deployed right now because of limited resource. Tell them to hang on," Jin replied to Qi Meili and when Fang Shirong heard that, "Don't tell me we are going into a mission objective again" he sighed after Qi Meili nodded at his comment.

[briefing room]

Inside the briefing, all the squad leaders entered. Upon entering the room, they felt a difference presence and pressure inside, as if there was already someone stayed in the room. "Damn, this kind of pressure brings me back to squad school," Hu Gui commented, and the door opened and Jin entered while behind him was Qi Meili, who was holding a pad.

Jin stood in the middle and said, "Please, all of you, take a seat," and all the squad leaders seated on their respective chairs. Jin's presence was unique and his aura was quite in a killing intent that is what the squad leader was feeling."

"Alright, as you all know, we have been able to gather enough forces to help those who are in need. And there is still one squad that is being stranded from being trapped by enemy forces. They are Purple Armored Knights, commanded Liu Lei. And she is a Purple Armored Knight squad leader. Her squad is position is at the border of the west and south sector and because of that, the south sector still has their communication building in operation.. And if they have communication building in operation, then they also have the depot. With those factors are present, then this mission will be hard as hell"
