"Didn't we just take care of the thieves that were going to loot the vehicle? On that note, why did only the two of you come here? If everyone came to assist then they wouldn't be able to escape in the first place!!" Myles exclaimed, his voice carrying seriousness.
Upon hearing this both Dark Knight and Vincent let out a sigh while shaking their heads.
"If it were only that simple" Dark Knight said with a long sigh.
Hearing the sighs of the two, Myles became certain that something was very wrong. However, Myles wasn't left in the dark for too long as Vincent filled him in on what happened.
"We have been informed the vehicle has been attacked by 15 thieves. The caption has requested reinforcement. Hence, the others have gone to help them," Vincent exclaimed, his voice carrying seriousness.
"What!!" Myles exclaimed the shock was visible on his face.
He certainly didn't expect this to happen since the caption was so confident about his plans. When he found the thieves, his faith in the plan increased even further!!
However, it appears that the thieves were one step ahead of them! Seeing the disbelieving look on Myles's face, Vincent knew that he needed to intervene.
"We need to rush towards the vehicle to protect it, or else we will fail our mission," Vincent replied calmly, preparing to leave.
Both Vincent and Dark Knight appeared to leave at any given moment. Myles nodded his head signaling his approval. However, as he was about to leave, his eyes fell on the corpses of the gunner that he killed just a few minutes earlier.
To be honest, his attention was drawn more to the gun in his hand than to the corpse itself. The open bag nearby appeared to be full of explosives.
"Wait just a minute, the corpses must have some good items. Hence, it will be a waste to leave them here," Myles exclaimed as he walked towards the corpses.
Though both Dark Knight and Vincent were in a hurry. It didn't hurt to loot the corpses since it would take a few minutes at the maximum!
Upon reaching the corpses, he lowered himself and began to slowly loot the corpses. He touched both the gun and bag full of explosives at the same time causing a notification to flash in his retina.
(You have discovered a Golden Revolver and 12 Energy Bombs)
(Golden Revolver Grade: E
Description:
This is a mass-produced gun designed by a famous engineer in the Eldoria Kingdom. This gun features both energy and ammunition attack mode making it very diverse. To support the energy mode, it comes with a very large battery.
However, it is suggested not to use the energy mode for more than 1 minute of continuous use because it gets too hot.
Not only that it also has rapid fire mode and singular fire mode. If it weren't for the poor heat management and low attack power of the gun then this gun would have been graded much higher.
Current Battery Charge: 8 percent .
Current Muzzle capacity: 44/120 bullets)
(Changing the battery by an expert is highly recommended)
(Energy Bombs Grade: E.
Description:
Upon pulling out the pin, the bomb will explode after 5 seconds causing a large explosion. The explosion is enough to injury grade: E fighters seriously)
Myles carefully read the notification. As he read the notification, his face became brighter. Since the gun appeared to be very powerful.
Sadly, since he wasn't a gunner he won't be able to make good use of it. It would have been much better if he had a sword!!
He turned his attention towards Vincent, standing not too far away.
"Vincent, do you want this gun?" Myles asked.
"No, I already got two powerful guns from the gunners you first killed," Vincent replied.
Upon hearing this, Myles just decided to keep the gun for now. Even though he couldn't bring out it's full potential, that didn't mean he couldn't use it.
Sure, his aim will be awful and it will be devoid of any buff that gunners can grant their shots. But it was still usable.
"We will divide the energy bombs equally after I am done looting the corpse," Myles remarked as he looted the corpse.
He looted the rest of the corpse for a minute apart from ammunition and universal coins. He didn't find anything apart from this.
Afterward, he stood up and walked toward his friends. He distributed the explosives equally among them. Each one of them got 4 Energy bombs.
"Make sure to use them carefully," Myles remarked.
They nodded their heads in approval and prepared to head out. Just a minute later, Vincent charged in a certain direction, causing the others to follow closely behind him.
Half an hour later
They had traveled 6 km in a matter of half an hour using the incredible power of their boots, causing them to arrive at their destination quickly.
Currently, they were standing on top of a roof, carefully observing a wide road that was engulfed in chaos. On the road, rested a vehicle which was cladded in metal armor.
"I am worried that the vehicle might get destroyed" Myles remarked, his voice carrying concern.
"Don't worry, combat vehicles don't fall so easily," Dark Knight remarked.
Upon hearing the unfamiliar word combat vehicles both Myles and Vincent diverted their attention towards Dark knight.
"Please explain their purpose" Vincent exclaimed.
Under the intense stare of both Vincent and Myles. He began to explain the purpose of the combat vehicle with a sigh.
"The combat vehicles are specially designed to be used in the middle of battle. Some were used to attack other enemies while others fulfilled other purposes.
The vehicle in front of us is an armored transportation vehicle and is a combat vehicle so it wouldn't fall so easily. The Armored Transportation Vehicle is used to transport goods and sometimes important people" Dark Knight explained his voice carrying seriousness.
Both Myles and Vincent nodded their heads in satisfaction. Since they just learned some important information!!
"Considering that the vehicle is used in the poorest part of the lowest ranking kingdom in Aetheris Online. It's probably the weakest of its kind isn't it?" Myles asked, his voice carrying seriousness.
"Obviously yes," Dark Knight replied.
It didn't take a genius to understand this. Nonetheless, they were confident that it could hold its ground. Afterall, the weapons the enemies used manufactured in Eldoria Kingdom.
Hence, they diverted their attention elsewhere.
Around the vehicle, nearly 35 people were fighting with one another. 12 of them were the escorts of the vehicle. The escort that they were part of. As for the rest, it was clear that they were thieves who were trying to steal the vehicle!!
They were outnumbered heavily by the enemies but it was not the sole reason for their worries!! 3 of the members of the escort team were heavily injured, rendering them incapable of battle!!
The other members also suffered from varying degrees of injuries.
Moreover, the gunners of the enemies had guns which bore resemblance to a sniper. It seemed that those guns could only fire a single bullet in a short period of time.
However, a single bullet from these types of guns were enough to take out someone or at least seriously injure them!
"We need to hurry and provide help to them; otherwise, if the vehicle gets stolen, we will surely fail the mission!!" Myles exclaimed, his voice carrying a sense of urgency.
Upon hearing this both Vincent and Dark Knight nodded their heads in approval. Slowly but surely, taking out their weapons in preparation for the fight.
Seeing this, Myles also brandished his sword from his waist, letting it reflect moonlight.
"Let's charge!!" Myles remarked as he narrowed his eyes.
Just a second later, the three of them charge towards the enemy at the same time. A few seconds later, they were finally spotted by both their enemies and allies.
Their reaction varied, the gunners of their enemies pointed their guns towards him while some of their allies looked relieved at the arrival of reinforcements
Seeing their enemies preparing to launch an attack at them. Vincent pointed two guns towards them and opened fire as they rushed towards their position.
The unexpected firing broke the coordination of their enemies for a few seconds, providing them with the chance to strengthen their defense.
The caption had no intention of letting this opportunity slip by his hands.
"The vehicle needs to be covered there. Try your best to provide support there. " The caption exclaimed whole, pointing in a certain direction at the vehicle.
They nodded their heads, signaling their approval.
"Hurry and let's rush to our positions!!" Myles exclaimed, his voice carrying seriousness.
