Five bullets passed through the previous opening hole of the external shield layer and fell on the second layer. That was also where they met the obstacle again.
After hearing Peter’s retreat order, everyone started to fall back into the woods neatly in formation.
Peter looked at the still running external shield layer and noted that the formation skill still would be running even if they were moving. Moreover, it was slowly recovering and the hole was smaller.
In the middle of the team was Evan who was hugging her two daughters in left and right.
After receiving Peter’s spiritual communication, she didn’t hesitate a bit and started walking back with the team. She knew that it would be bad if she fell one step behind and hit by someone who was backing off. So, she even applied several spells like flying, weight loss and protection on their trio.
Front heading the front, back heading the back, wings heading left and right, making them unable to pay attention to other directions while moving. Fortunately, they were able to move smoothly due to frequent practices back in the days and under Peter’s commands.
As for some obstacles on the way, they didn’t need to worry much due to their armor and heavy weight.
Tree roots on the way? Step on. Rock on the way? Knock it away. Hard pebbles? Step on.
The only problem might be muddy soils. But they had already explored the good path in the woods.
After the team started moving backward, another batch of bullets didn’t get through the hold of external shield layer anymore. They hit the intact external shield layer and made visible waves.
Peter stepped backward and checked the bullets sticking in the second shield layer carefully.
He found out that these bullets were full of magic breaker rune inscriptions on them and made of depleted uranium. He wondered how those sneaky dwags at the opposite got their hands on these.
He could understand about how they got depleted uranium and in fact he could too. But he could not understand how they could get magic breaker rune inscriptions.
In a mobile command room at the other side, several men in combat uniforms were having a heated conversation. The burly hunk with four gold bars and one star was spitting at the woman with three gold bars and one star while pulling her closer by grabbing her uniform with both hands.
“Do you actually think this is a fucking game? Commander Clintson, I don’t remember that I gave you a mission today. Tell me why you’re sending my men to confront the knights under Origin church.”
The woman said calmly, “Captain Goldwin, this is the direct order from General Elison Wood.”
“Fuck General Elison Wood. This is my company and we don’t do the missions if they don’t come from the office of Admiral Winchester.”
In return to her words, the hunk shouted again with shiny spits. Captain Goldwin was really angry.
He thought that it would be another peaceful and beautiful day when he woke up in the early morning.
Who knew that he would find out empty compound when he went to platoon 4 for daily routine visit.
Shockingly, he was told that platoon 4 commander Clintson sent out the seals team under her for a mission. After wondering for a moment, he realized that there were no missions during these days.
This novel is published on a different platform. Support the original author by finding the official source.
Controlling his emotions, he walked into the command room of platoon 4 and only to find out that one eight men squad was already wiped out and the other one also lost one sniper from four men squad.
Not to mention that, they also lost several blackhawks from nearby combat aviation brigade.
No, those blackhawks are not my problem. The problem is my treasure men.
Captain Goldwin quickly corrected his thinking and wanted to scold the brainless woman again.
“Do you know what you did? Do you know what is Origin church? You fucking sent them to death.”
After scolding with several shiny spits, Captain Goldwin took a deep breathe and released his fingers.
The normal looking woman called Clintson hurriedly took two steps back, took our her handkerchief from a pocket and wiped her face a few times.
Captain Goldwin took over the headsets from nearby operator and said coldly, “This is Captain Goldwin. All surviving seals of platoon four, I order you to discard the mission right now and retreat from where you are. This command is effective immediately. I repeat. This mission was not approved by Admiral Winchester and any still surviving seals must stop and retreat immediately.”
Then, he threw the headsets back to the operator and ordered the two seals on guard duty, “Why are you still standing?”
He pointed at Commander Clintson not far away and said, “Arrest her. She is going to be tried in military court for private troops deployment without order from Admiral Winchester and causing heavy loss to platoon four.”
Clintson panicked and shouted, “What are you doing! You can’t arrest me. I’m following the order of General Elison Wood. And I have the right to command my platoon.”
However, her words anger Goldwin causing the latter to go over and slapped her face hard.
“How many times do I have to tell you that this is seals under the command of Admiral Winchester and not your General Elison Wood or you! Seals only do the missions given by Admiral Winchester. You should be glad that we are not in war time. Otherwise, I would have already shot you death.”
Then, he waved at the two seals holding her hands on each side and said, “Put her in confinement. Without my permission, no one is allowed to contact her.”
At the same time, similar thing was happening in a large air force base. The loss of seven blackhawks and dozens of well trained soldiers and pilots was not a joke.
Especially when it happened in peace time.
The general of the base also got heart attack when he got the news. Unlike Goldwin, this general was bolder. He directly shot the captain who gave the command without his knowledge to death directly.
Then, he called the pentagon and started the scolding song in front of operators and guards.
Peter on the other hand got no clue about what happened and they retreated successfully back to the abandoned building in the middle of the woods.
When he deactivated the shield of the shield, the opened hole was already recovered and smooth again. And then, he noticed that light energies stored in the shields dropped by half.
He also deactivated the void shield and looked up at the sky with a weary smile.
He didn’t see the clear sky and only saw the leaves of the nearby big trees.
Ben came out again after noticing that Peter didn’t come along with the team into the building.
They didn’t dare to stay without armors out of caution against those sneaky attackers.
While putting back the shield into his body, Peter sighed and said, “I’m afraid that they came for us.”
Ben nodded and shouted, “Ronald, come here. I’ve got some questions for you.”
Ronald who was chatting with Allen quickly ended the conversation and walked to the two dudes at the doorstep. When he arrived, he saw that the two guys were looking at the floating bullets above Peter’s left hand.
These bullets are solid metal in the shape of a normal bullet. Obviously, these things are bullet heads.
“Specially crafted bullets?”
Hearing Ronald’s doubt, Peter nodded and said, “Solid depleted uranium with dense magic breaker rune inscriptions on the surface. I can feel the radiation coming out from them.”
Ronald asked in surprise, “How do you know that?”
Peter took back his spiritual power, held the bullets and said calmly, “I feel the familiar breathe of sun on them. It is very weak unlike nuclear radiation. And only depleted uranium can emit it.”
Ben moved his right arm to relax the muscles and asked, “Stop asking craps. Ronald, give me the answer truthfully. Did you really see a bunch of seals? And, how did you recognize them?”
Ronald thought for a moment and said truthfully, “I served as a sniper in green berets for nearly a year. And, we played a few missions in delta force together with those frogmen. So, I immediately recognized them when I saw them. Moreover, they got birds. Definitely seals.”
Then, he laughed, “Haha, these frogmen are elites but we won by equipment.”
Ben moved his neck and asked, “Did you see any familiar people?”
Ronald had impulse to choke the old guy in front of him and said impatiently, “If you called me just to ask this, I am going back. What’s so special with those frogmen who attacked us? And do you think I could see through their masks? I only saw their heads, shoddy bodies in grasses, muzzles and lens.”
