Snap!
The crossbow bolt flying towards Renault's face was directly caught by Renault's hand.
However, the arrowhead of this bolt didn't seem ordinary. Even though it was firmly held in Renault's palm, it kept flashing...
"Commander! Be careful!?" Seeing the flashing arrowhead, AR15 exclaimed.
Boom!
Before AR15 could say anything else, the arrowhead exploded!
AR15 was immediately shocked!
The arrowhead was held by Renault right in front of his forehead!
Even though the explosion wasn't too powerful, at such close range, it should have easily penetrated his skull...
At the same time the crossbow bolt exploded, Drake, who had just dodged a few attacks, anxiously turned back to check Renault's situation.
Renault was his employer. The doll figures didn't matter, but Renault, a living person, absolutely couldn't be harmed! If Renault died, not only would Drake not get paid for this job, but his reputation would also be tarnished!
However, when he turned around, he vaguely saw a blue barrier amidst the smoke... A force field!?
A force field was definitely military-grade equipment! Only a few companies produced them now, and even the military was only conducting small-scale trials.
Drake couldn't believe that this person actually had such equipment... Wait a minute?
Activating a force field required a large amount of energy. Drake had just checked, and although this person was wearing a coat and had plenty of weapons underneath, Drake was certain that his client didn't have the energy source to support the force field operation!
But it was also possible that he was mistaken... But if he was mistaken... how could Renault still be unharmed now!?
AR15 was also staring in astonishment at Renault, who was standing there without a scratch, even though the arrowhead had exploded right in front of his forehead!
How could this guy seem completely fine!?
HK416 and Nagant Revolver beside them seemed unfazed by this situation...
But now wasn't the time to think about this! AR15 raised her gun directly, targeting the several individuals entangled in combat with Drake ahead!
HK416 and Nagant Revolver, along with P38, were a step ahead of her in opening fire!
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Just because Renault said to let Drake handle these ambushers themselves, didn't mean they had to hold back now that these individuals were attacking Renault directly. They naturally didn't need to hold back, even if they were using decades or even centuries-old antique firearms.
But a gun was a gun. Pull the trigger, fire the bullet, and as long as the opponent wasn't wearing body armor, it could definitely take their life, especially since all the Dolls were aiming for vital areas.
After a moment of gunfire, Drake, who hadn't had a chance to retreat, broke out in a cold sweat.
This employer... and these T-Dolls were really not to be trifled with. In just a few breaths, these individuals were all lying on the ground.
A quick assessment revealed that none of them were still alive...
Most importantly, Renault hadn't said a word during the whole ordeal. The actions were all decided by those tactical dos themselves...
What did this mean?
It means they are Illegal Dolls! And the kind that didn't hesitate to use deadly force!
Wow... They looked like a bunch of innocent girls, but each one of them was ruthless...
"Commander? You..." After the gunfire subsided, AR15 also stepped forward, taking a closer look at Renault's condition.
She found that there weren't even any wounds on his body, not to mention broken skin.
There were indeed many scratches on his coat, but AR15 could confirm that those scratches and holes were all pre-existing.
"Alright, let's continue on. We've been here long enough." Waving her hand at AR15, there was something to discuss, but it could wait until they got back. This wasn't the place to talk.
Not only did the ambushers they just took down have listening devices on them, but there were also many surveillance devices in this cave.
It seemed that the managers of the black market stronghold hadn't relaxed their surveillance despite this being a low-profile route.
As for why Drake said there wouldn't be any trouble leaving from here? Probably because no one had come here to cause trouble for him before.
Small space, dim lighting, wasn't it the perfect battlefield for Drake, the modified individual?
And this time... who knows what the reason was... Anyway, it had nothing to do with them.
...
"Stay safe, remember to remind the other dolls." Gentiane used her communicator to instruct M4A1.
"Understood."
This mission was mainly to eliminate the living forces of Sangvis Ferri. There was no need to continue searching for AR15's whereabouts. They couldn't let other T-Dollz lose their lives for an impossible task.
Since the attack on Griffin's base, G&K had begun to pursue and intercept Sangvis Ferri. However, Sangvis Ferri seemed to have lost their previous strength.
After being pursued by Griffin's squad for so long, they had been constantly retreating. Now, Griffin's main forces had all gathered in S08 area.
The areas lost in S09 had been reclaimed by Griffin, and the current target was naturally the S08 area.
"It seems that everything is progressing smoothly. It shouldn't take long before Sangvis Ferri is completely driven out of Griffin's jurisdiction, right?" Looking at the information feedback on the command system, Gentiane also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Yeah, it should be almost done. It seems that Sangvis Ferri doesn't have much strength left now." The commander of the S08 area also said so. After picking up his coffee cup and taking a sip, he let out a long breath.
After such a long battle, was it finally coming to an end? Although not all of Sangvis Ferri in Griffin's jurisdiction had been eliminated, at least her area would soon welcome complete peace...
"Commander, it seems that we can't contact the fourth squad?"
"What? Are you kidding me? Weren't they just in contact with us..." Just as the commander of the S08 area said this incredulously, on the central command screen, one Doll squad after another lost signal!
"What's going on!? What happened to the first squad!? Second squad! Report if anything happened!"
Hearing the shout from the commander of the S08 area, Gentiane also jumped up from her chair, standing in front of the screen, staring wide-eyed, trying to contact her own squads.
