Adopted Soldier

Chapter 257

Chapter 257

Matthew had left the school premise before the start of the play, since he wanted to buy a quick snack . Once he was done buying what he wanted, he immediately headed back, but it was at that moment something surprising happened .

When he got back he saw that the school was surrounded by heavily armed men . They even made a blockade as the police and people wearing maid and butler uniforms were trying to break through . It wasn’t just the school, it would seem that the whole city was under attack .

Matthew couldn’t understand what the hell was happening . He just bought some snacks and this sh*t suddenly happens .

Matthew headed to the top floor of a nearby building to check out the situation . When he got on the roof of the building, he looked around and saw dozens of smoke rising from the ground . He could see numerous building on fire, he could also hear the sounds of heavy artillery being fired . The smell of blood was heavy and the sound of civilians dying could also be heard .

Everywhere he looked he saw that the police, the maids and butlers were trying their best to help the civilians yet were having difficulty controlling the situation . Matthew then started to wonder, how long it would take for the Berdonian armed force to arrive . Seeing as the situation was so dire, once the Berdonian armed forces arrive, it might be too late .

He also noticed that the enemy forces were using heavy artillery on random places, but they never hit the school or any place near it .

’Then why were the majority of their forces seem to be focusing on the school . What was the plan here, what do they want?’

’Based on their extremely efficient movements, these guys are highly trained, and well equipped obviously they were not terrorists, so that would mean a military force from another nation . Of course the Southern Union won’t start attacking Berdonia, especially now that Lyner and Saintess Anita, are a married couple . So that only leaves the Granado Empire . Only those b*stards are capable of attacking Berdonia in this manner . ’

’Have they finally gone insane? They did this knowing full well this is a breach of the international law of war . This would make them an enemy to both Berdonia and the Southern Union . Could the Empire really think that they could handle both our nations at the same time? Where does their confidence stem from? Do they have some sort of secret weapon?’

As Matthew was thinking about this, he heard a sudden explosion coming from one of the nearby buildings . Seeing the destruction happening in the city Matthew clenched his fist . Even though he wasn’t Berdonian, he was still someone who stayed in this city . Also he liked the Berdonians and he finds it quite comfortable here in the city .

’Tsk, fine first I need to do is to take out the enemies heavy artillery . ’ After confirming what he needed to do next, Matthew headed to the area where the heavy artillery was located .

. . .

Once he got to the area where the heavy artillery was, he saw numerous soldiers guarding it . Not only that he saw the dead bodies of both civilians and police officers scattered about . He couldn’t simply use force on these people . It was obvious he would be overwhelmed with their superior numbers . Matthew needed to do this stealthily .

There were two guards guarding the entrance of the makeshift base . He needed to move them far enough so that he could do something about them without anyone noticing . That was when Matthew saw an empty cardboard box .

. . .

The two soldiers guarding the entrance suddenly saw a cardboard box suddenly appear before them, and then it moved . It was obvious that someone was in the cardboard box, but was he crazy heading to an enemy base? They ran after the cardboard box and started shooting at it . One of their bullets finally hit the erratic moving box, and the soldiers slowly approached it .

One of the soldiers kicked the box open and saw that they hit a cat, it’s leg was bleeding badly .

"Sorry about that . " The two guards then heard someone behind them, one of them had their head snapped . The other was about to shoot, but Matthew was able to pierce his throat using his bare hands .

After confirming the deaths of the two soldiers, Matthew proceeded to bandage up the cat he used as a distraction .

"Sorry about that little buddy . Don’t worry once I’m done here, I’ll feed you a great meal . " When he was done bandaging the injured cat, Matthew set it aside . He then heard the radio from one of the dead soldiers beeping .

"Private where are you? Why are not in position? Private respond!" After asking the dead private to answer a few more times, the voice stopped . Matthew knew that this place will soon be swarmed by soldiers . He took the gun of one of the dead soldiers, as well as ammo . After which Matthew stealthily headed back to the base .

He saw that a dozen soldiers coming out from the base, heading towards the bodies of the dead soldiers . Once they were out of sight, Matthew sneaked in from the front entrance, seeing as no one has yet to replace the two guards .

While going around the enemy base, Matthew was able to stealthily kill everyone he saw . It was after his sixth kill did the enemy forces started to actively look for him . They were truly well trained soldiers, but that wasn’t enough to hinder Matthew . As long as he didn’t fight them head on, and just took them down by two’s or three’s then he could easily decimate this base, and destroy the three Haubits FH77 artillery .

Still it would be more efficient to simply destroy the three Haubits FH77, since they’re still using them to kill the civilians . Matthew who had picked up a few bombs in the base, decided to head straight to the Haubits FH77s .

Of course once he got to the place where the Haubits FH77s were located he saw numerous soldiers guarding them, and as if pulled by destiny, Matthew saw that they were about to fire another round . Having no more time, Matthew decided to switch to a more direct approach .

"Hey you f*cking Empire dogs, die for me!" Matthew started to shoot at the soldiers as he dashed towards the Haubits FH77s . Once he got near enough, he proceeded to plant the bombs under heavy fire . He got hit here and there, but none were lethal . Once Matthew was done planting the bombs, he quickly retreated .

He went into his pseudo RELEASE state and started running, a few seconds later he could hear the sounds of explosions coming from the enemy base .

. . .

Matthew then returned to the place where he left the cat . He picked up the cat from there, and hid himself in one of the abandoned buildings . While he was treating his injuries Matthew started thinking .

’What should I do now? Should I head back to the school or should I go and help out the civilians? I guess Alex and James could handle whatever situation they’re in . They even have the blonde devil, and the messenger of Death on there side, so I’m sure they’re alright . ’
