Chapter 872: Lucius rescue operation (1)



Author's Note (click on the left text).

The air was tense, since Noah's plan was going to be executed soon.

"Is everything clear?" The clone said.

For Becker, it was especially weird to be the one who received orders, but he couldn't deny it. Noah's plan was not bad, not bad at all.

"Yes," Richard said. "A team will help us reach the Prison tunnel stealthily and to enter. They will stay at the door to keep the escape clear. Once inside, is up to us."

"Yes, remember to make your way to the guard's command center on the third floor. That's where you'll find the location of Lucius's cell."

"I'm still unclear about how you got that information. Can the source be considered reliable?"

"The source is one of my agents. It took the place of a guard. It wasn't easy, as he had to study the guy for a long time, but he succeeded in his mission. When you enter, he will do what he can to open all the prison's doors. You should be able to go inside unhindered, but be careful. The Blackguards knew we were going to act. They didn't know when."

"Me and Richard did these kinds of things a lot of times. We know what to do. Don't worry," Becker said.

Noah watched them, prepared for battle. Richard shouldered his massive war hammer, while Becker, a master of combat, required no weapon.

He could conjure various arms using his brain crystal power along the way. Caiden, on the other hand, wielded a simple sword.

The group left the meeting room; They had to move on foot.

Most of Noah's troops were already moving, killing the guards inside the prison, one after the other.

There wasn't much time, and they couldn't kill a lot of them, since a simple call could ruin everything.

Soon, they reached the entrance of a tunnel. There was team there already, with at least 10 guards dead on the floor.

"Is everything clear?"

"Yes," the clone said. Since he was Erik's clone, he didn't use a deferential tone with the older

men.

"The tunnel is free. Our contact will open the door as soon as he sees you. He is in the control room, and he has access to almost all prison's doors."

"Good." Becker turned to Richard. "These guys know their stuff."

"Noah's plan surprised even me. It was well thought. I can't see us failing."

"Did you have to say it out loud?" Caiden asked.

With that, the group hurried into the tunnel and shortly thereafter; they found themselves before a door that opened automatically.

"We are on our own now."

Their part of the mission was simple, but dangerous. They had to reach the commanding room, retrieve the documents, and then head to the cell.

He couldn't open the cell itself, so that was their job to do.

Noah planned the attack to happen at a critical time. For some unknown reason, few blackguards were inside the prison, with most of them in the streets.

Approximately 300 of them were present, the others being soldiers from Frant and Fasard. The problem was that these 300 blackguards were strong, most of Noah's forces had been concentrated to stall them as long as possible, and prevent them from reaching the prison.

The Blackguards didn't know who was going to attack, but it was safe for them to assume Erik was there.

Their job was to capture him, and so they were likely going to rush back to the prison to complete their job.

The group arrived in front of a door. There were no guards around. The door opened, but before entering, they peered from the other side.

The door led to a corridor. There were multiple rooms there, with some guards doing desk jobs.

"Should we kill them?" Caiden asked, looking at Becker.

The ex general was reluctant. These guys were doing their job. To claim their lives didn't sit well with him.

But, if he didn't, the three would only find more guards to fight later on.

They didn't know Lucius' current state, but judging from Volkov's habits, he shouldn't have been in a good state.

"Yes,"

Here, the tactic they used was simple. Becker commanded the winds, the air, while Caiden had a power which was similar to his daughter's, but that instead of corroding, it paralyzed. The idea was to use Becker's wind to spread the paralyzing fog faster, and so they did.

It took little for the guards to be unable to fight. Then, the grim task awaited the trio. Richard crushed their heads with his war hammer. Caiden simply slashed at their throats with his sword, while Becker sent highly compressed air into their skulls.

The area was littered with dead bodies and the scent of blood not much time later.

With expressions filled with sorrow, the three individuals glanced at the lifeless bodies before them, feeling a sense of helplessness as they realized there was little they could do.

This was a war before being a rescue mission.

"Let's go."

The group kept moving stealthily through the building. They reached the first floor, and then the second.

They steered clear of areas heavily guarded, and although their prior tactic was effective, they knew it couldn't be overused.

To kill too many people was dangerous, so they had to resort to avoiding them whenever they

could.

"How much till the third floor?" Becker asked.

"Based on what Noah said, there should be a pair of stairs nearby. The elevator is not safe, the stairs aren't either, but at least we can escape from there," Richard said.

With that, the trio reached the third floor. They didn't find a single cell, until now, but that's

was because they had to reach a room on the other side of the complex.

The cells were on the eastern side, and likely, Lucius's cell was there, too.

"I hope Lucius is ok."

"You are not the only one."

"There is something else that scares me, though," Becker said.

"What?" Caiden asked.

Becker stopped to think for a second, then said: "What will his son do if he is dead?"
