OBS Chapter 308 Roar
Chapter 308 Roar
Arthur's team consisted of ten people, a total of eleven including himself. He divided these people into two teams, the first team had five people, and the second team had six people including himself.
"Check the clock." Arthur glanced at the time: "It's 2:32 PM now."
The comrades quickly completed the time check.
"Team one!" Arthur pointed at the first squad and ordered, "Go to point A. At exactly 15:00, create chaos, then retreat to point B. Don't linger in the fight. Use the traps there to shake off the pursuers, then return directly to the base!"
"Understood!" The members of the first team saluted Arthur.
"Everyone else, follow me!" Arthur said, then he looked around at his comrades and put his fist to his chest. "For the Empire!"
"For the Empire!"
After making the deployment, one team quickly left Arthur's sight, and Arthur jumped off the edge of the road with his team.
First they landed on a protruding rock, then continued to walk down and jumped onto the shelf built by the orcs. After descending about thirty meters, a huge copper pipe appeared in front of them.
Arthur walked onto the pipe first, and immediately he smelled the smell of burning soles of his shoes. It was a huge sewage pipe with hot industrial wastewater flowing inside.
However, Arthur had anticipated this. He spread out the prepared insulation layer to cover the pipe, and then waved to the rest of his teammates to come closer.
Soon all six of them were hiding behind the cooling ducts.
Below them was a square that should have been packed with orcs. These orcs were currently engaged in a competition. They had built a small arena out of rusty steel, wood painted with strange pigments, and bones. Two huge orcs were fighting naked in the arena, while the orcs surrounding them were cheering for them.
Arthur's gaze did not linger too long on the noisy orcs below. He took out the telescope and began to observe the target.
Just like what he had discovered yesterday, this orc arsenal was built on the main trunk of the Blackwater Fortress, with its exit connected to a bridge. Scrap metal was transported in through this bridge, and war machines were transported out through this bridge.
The orcs' construction skills were disastrous. Arthur looked closely at the supporting pillars of the orc bridge. As long as the crossbeams were blown up, the entire bridge would collapse.
When the time comes and the first team makes some noise and the orcs are in chaos, the second team he leads will take advantage of the chaos to sneak under the bridge of the orc arsenal and place explosives to blow up this important transportation route for the orcs.
This was the purpose of Arthur's trip. He had thought about blowing up the arsenal, but the arsenal was heavily guarded and extremely strong. Even if they could sneak in, the explosives they carried would not be able to effectively destroy this orc military stronghold.
Bombing the transport bridge is an easier and more rational choice. The soldiers of Karenya are never afraid of difficulties, but there is no need to take meaningless risks when there is a choice.
"Can it be blown up?" Arthur had seen enough and handed the telescope to the soldier next to him. This soldier was called John. He was an engineer and also the demolition expert in the team.
John took the telescope, scanned the area, and nodded. "No problem."
Arthur looked at the time again. It was 14:48.
The target and time of the operation were determined. Logically, they should have waited patiently for a team to create chaos or pray to the God-Emperor, but Arthur took the telescope from John and continued to observe.
Time was running out, and when he conducted reconnaissance yesterday, he only determined the general route of the attack, but did not plan the evacuation route.
He was not afraid of sacrifice, but he was unwilling to let his comrades die as well. Although Arthur knew that they were prepared to die just like him, he still hoped to take these brothers back alive.
Arthur's eyes flashed quickly around the arsenal, and beads of sweat on his head became more and more frequent.
He imagined dozens of possible retreat routes in his mind, but he immediately ruled them out. After the bridge collapsed, this place would inevitably be surrounded by orcs. By then, not even a bird would be able to fly out, let alone the six of them.
Is there really no hope?
A drop of sweat fell from Arthur's forehead and hissed as it landed on the sewage pipe.
A bold idea suddenly came to mind.
"Hey! John, get me a piece of dynamite!" said Arthur.
Although John was puzzled, he still took out a bundle of explosives from his bag.
Arthur took the explosives and then held out his hand to John: "Delayed ignition device."
"What are you going to do?!" John suddenly understood what Arthur wanted to do.
Arthur nodded, so John took out the delayed ignition device, and Arthur connected the explosives to the device and then stuck it to the top of the sewage pipe.
The detonation time is set at 15:30
"After we blow up the bridge, this sewage pipe will also be blown open. Once the sewage inside is drained, we will get in and retreat to the exit."
Seeing no one responding, Arthur lowered his voice and gave a brief speech to his brothers: "Brothers, I know that when you and I came out, you were ready to sacrifice your lives for the Empire. However, do not make fearless sacrifices. Dying here is meaningless. Only by living can we preserve the flame of resistance."
"So, don't give up hope of living!"
"We'll listen to you!" said John.
The other brothers also agreed.
The agreed time soon arrived, and Arthur's team was ready to take action at any time, but the expected movement did not appear.
It was already two minutes past 15 p.m.
Arthur's team looked at each other, and a feeling of unease began to spread.
The worst situation still occurred. The team responsible for causing a commotion and attracting the orcs' attention failed to complete their task, and they were trapped here, in a dilemma.
"Arthur, what do we do now?" John asked.
"Wait until ten minutes after fifteen!" Arthur made his decision. "We must trust those brothers. Even if they sacrifice themselves, they will not die in silence."
Then he added, "If there's still no result by 15:10, we'll proceed as planned... May the Emperor bless you..."
The most difficult thing is waiting for the unknown.
Arthur ordered to wait until 15:10, and it was already 15:03, but the remaining seven minutes had never felt so long to him.
He looked at the time reading over and over again, countless times. He couldn't let his brother see his nervousness, so every time he checked the time, he would glance down casually.
But time was moving forward at a slow pace that he could not bear. Sometimes he felt that six or seven minutes had passed, but the minute hand reading had only moved forward one step.
He suspected that there was something wrong with his clock, so he began counting his heartbeats.
one two three……
When he counted to ninety-five, he saw the minute hand move and looked at it.
The clock is normal.
It is 15:08
boom--
Just when the time jumped to 15:09, an explosion that resounded through the sky was heard not far away.
He was right. Those brothers would not die in silence. They would roar and drag the greenskin bastards in front of them to hell.
