Chapter 263
Once Emily and Kyle successfully escaped the school, the first thing Emily tried to do was blow up the school and all the soldiers in it . She had unconsciously moved her hands and was trying to make the place explode . This was something Emily usually did when a base of hers was compromised .
When Kyle saw this habitual move of Emily"s he immediately held her hand .
"Emi!" Hearing her brother call her name, Emily finally realized what she was about to do . She quickly closed her laptop, and sighed . That was an extremely close call . Even if Lyner"s safe room was extremely st.u.r.dy there was a chance that it might get broken if she blew up the entire school . She placed those bombs under the a.s.sumption that everyone would have evacuated .
"Thanks Onii-chan, my body just moved on its own . It"s a good thing you were here with me . If I was alone, I might"ve done something irreversible . " Emily sighed as she felt relieved while feeling a bit jittery .
"I understand, when you get used to doing something frequently, you just do it unconsciously . It"s the same thing, as when I"m reloading, I unconsciously know when I"m out of bullets, and get to a reload position even if I have one bullet left . " Kyle shrugged his shoulders as he said this .
"Yeah, Yeah, you"re so cool Onii-chan . Enough of the bragging already . " Emily started shaking her head as she said this .
"Who"s bragging?" Kyle asked genuinely confused as to why his sister was saying he was bragging .
The two siblings, were doing this skit of theirs right in front of some Granado Empire soldiers . These soldiers were confused as to where this two popped out from . Not only did they ignored them, who were pointing their guns at the two, but the two siblings even started having a random conversation, right in front of them .
The Empire soldiers were confused at first, and didn"t shoot immediately, but after the initial shock they were now ready to shoot the siblings, but before they could pull their triggers, something electrocuted them . That level of electrocution wasn"t something that could kill them, but it was enough to stun them .
This was a trap Emily set up when she made her escape route . Of course she needed to secure the exit area of her escape route, so she placed some traps there just in case .
While the Empire soldiers were stunned, Kyle had his bow ready . Since he ran out of bullets a while ago, he needed to resort to using his bow and arrows . Kyle was able to shoot five arrows at a time, and all of them were aimed at the enemies skulls . Kyle"s arrows were specially made for him, and they were able to easily penetrate the skulls of his enemies .
Emily and Kyle had efficiently killed the enemy forces, and then continued to bicker .
. . .
After a short back and forth between the siblings, Kyle looked around and then asked .
"So what do we do now?"
"Alex, said his group was heading to safe house 11 . That"s located at the city limits . I guess Alex is planning to make the civilians retreat after stocking up . Do we head there or do something else, what do you think Onii-chan?" Emily looked at her brother, asking for his opinion .
"Alex is already with Carlo and Dan, I"m sure the three of them could handle whatever comes their way . "
"Then what do you want to do Onii-chan?"
"Obviously I want to rescue Sarah, but under this circ.u.mstances, that won"t be possible . Now if my whole squad the one Carlo created was here, then we could easily rescue them . It"s also possible if Lyner the monster was here, he could easily do that . Yet my squad isn"t here and I heard some of the members went missing, and of course Lyner isn"t here either since he"s in the Southern Union at the moment . "
"I wasn"t asking you to explain all of that Onii-chan . What I want to know is what we should do right now . " Emily said this while ma.s.saging her forehead .
Hearing his little sister"s question, Kyle started thinking . It was like he said, Alex and his team won"t be needing them . It was also impossible to rescue Sarah and the others at the moment . So what should they do in the mean time? What could they do at this very moment?
"Hey Emily, can you check how many bases the enemy forces made within the city . Also can you find out who the enemy commander is, and where he"s located . "
"I can totally find out where the temporary bases of the enemy are located and see how many there are . As for who the commander is, that would be a bit more difficult, and finding his location is even more difficult . He might not even be present in the city . "
As Emily was saying this, she started typing on her laptop . After a few seconds Emily gave the answer to the first question .
"There are eleven temporary bases within the city, six of which have heavy artillery . It seems that one of the bases have already been destroyed by someone . Also a huge amount of soldiers seem to be converging in a nearby mountain and are dying, I think Ken Seto lives there . Hmm, as for your question about who the commander is, and where he"s located, I don"t know . "
Kyle hearing the information Emily has given him, was a bit confused . Wasn"t Ken Seto a man of the Empire then why are soldiers attacking him, and why is he killing them all?
"Well it doesn"t matter, as long as he"s siding with Berdonia from here on out, the I see no problem with him . Still I wanted to learn the enemy commander"s location, so I could have a.s.sa.s.sinated him . One arrow to the head and the soldiers would be forced to retreat for the meantime . "
"Emi, how about we just go destroy some things and kill some enemies . What do you say?" Kyle who couldn"t think of what to do next, just decided to simply do whatever . Emily who heard her brother"s question was at first surprised, but then she showed a very cute smile .
"That sounds like fun . Let"s do it!" Emily happily agreed, in which Kyle nodded while smiling at his little sister . The two Hunt siblings, didn"t understand that their current conversation was abnormal . This simply proves that they no longer able to go back to being normal, and something in them had broken down when they entered the battlefield all those years ago .
. . .
Random Soldier"s POV:
I don"t understand what was happening, I and my comrades were just looking for any survivors we might have missed, but then out of nowhere three arrows fell from the sky and pierced the heads of my comrades . I and my other comrades were lucky enough to be able to hide inside a nearby building, after the first attack .
One of my comrades who had a sniper rifle with him, tried to look around using his scope, but the moment his head was raised was the moment an arrow pierced his head . Seeing this we were shocked beyond belief, and tried to call for back-up . As long as we don"t look up, we should be able to evade the archer"s sight .
Feeling rea.s.sured, another arrow came in and closely behind it was another arrow . It wasn"t aimed at anybody in particular, and we all thought it was a warning shot from the archer, but as this thought came to mind something incredible happened .
The second arrow that was fast approaching the first arrow hit it, which made the first arrow change its trajectory and finally it ended in the head of another one of my comrades .
It was already an amazing feat to be able to hit your own arrow, but he made it change trajectory to hit another one of my comrades . Even while we were hiding from his sight, he was still able to accurately hit us . Did he had some kind of all seeing eye?!
In fright I and my comrades started to scatter about inside the building .
. . . .
Emily who had hacked into the security cameras of the building the soldiers fled to, told her brother the exact locations of the people inside . Using this information, Kyle was able to accurately hit his targets .
The two siblings were now started their hunt of the Empire Soldiers inside the concrete jungle .
