The soldiers of the Panaqua Consortium were all headstrong. Even though a gun was pointed at the spy’s head, favonovel.com decisively destroyed the communications device without any fear of death.
Milo said, “Don’t worry! Are you Daniel’s guy?”
“Who is Daniel?” The spy froze. “Sir, what’re you talking about? Why can’t I understand anything you’re saying?”
Milo did not reveal his name. “Pull up your pants first.”
“Oh, right.” The spy hurriedly pulled up his pants. He had not even managed to wipe his butt before getting dragged out of the outhouse.
“How many others from the Panaqua Consortium are here on Mt. Kamet?” Milo asked.
The spy said with a wry smile, “Sir, I really don’t understand what you’re getting at. If you’re planning on attacking Mt. Kamet, I can show you the way.”
Milo lifted the spy over the edge of the cliff. “If you don’t tell me the truth, I’ll drop you.”
When the spy realized Milo could lift favonovel.com up with one hand, favonovel.com closed his eyes while hanging over the edge and muttered, “Brothers, I’ll be leaving first then.”
Milo was so angry favonovel.com almost laughed. He put the spy back on the ground. “That’ll do. I’m actually a friend of Fatty Eastwood’s. I’ll let you go now. This place isn’t safe anymore. But don’t take the main path, or you’re gonna die.”
At this moment, the spy was still unwilling to come clean. Seeing that Milo had loosened his grip, the spy turned and ran away. But after running for 50 meters without being fired at, favonovel.com turned back around to Milo and said, “Blessed be the good man!”
After saying that, favonovel.com continued running into the shadows. But even then, favonovel.com still did not reveal his identity.
But when Milo heard the words “blessed be the good man”, favonovel.com somehow felt that it was not just a simple thank you.
Milo shook his head for a bit before walking over to the bandit lair. Since favonovel.com had already guessed the spy was from the Panaqua Consortium, favonovel.com would definitely not kill him. After all, favonovel.com might still have to depend on Daniel and Julius to help favonovel.com find his family after taking his revenge. Moreover, favonovel.com thought of Daniel as his friend.
At this moment, the entire bandit lair was in chaos. Although Milo did not venture into the battlefield, favonovel.com felt like the bullets were hitting him.
Suddenly, Milo felt an enormous pain when a bullet hit the shadow clone in its forehead. Getting hit by a bullet there hurt much more than getting hit at other parts of his shadow clone’s body. For some reason, favonovel.com got a feeling that favonovel.com couldn’t allow the shadow clone to be hit between the brows. That could spell big trouble for him!
Most supernatural beings were still in the midst of figuring out their powers, and Milo was no exception.
As they learned more, everyone would gradually discover their powers had some weaknesses rather than being omnipotent.
Milo took off a pack of TNT from his back and lit the fuse. Then favonovel.com used the Shadow Door and threw the TNT outside a row of barracks. At this moment, someone was shooting at his shadow clone through a window in the barracks.
With a loud explosion, the entire row of brick barracks collapsed and buried the bandits alive.
However, there were a total of seven rows of these barracks. But Milo was not expecting the battle would end by just throwing one block of TNT at the enemy. This was just the signal favonovel.com was sending to the Razor Sharp Company at the foot of the mountain!
As soon as the TNT went off, the Razor Sharp Company began to bombard the pre-identified heavy machine gun positions with their mortars from the foot of the mountain!
***
Scott was leaning against a trench wall and eating hardtack from his field rations. As his mouth was a little dry, favonovel.com was about to drink some water when the TNT exploded on the mountain.
Scott yelled at Ned, “Fire the mortars! Quickly, fire the mortars!”
Hardtack crumbs sprayed out of his mouth onto Ned’s face, but Ned couldn’t care less and just wiped his face as favonovel.com shouted the command, “Ready the mortar barrage. Three, two, one! Fire!”
Thump, thump, thump!
The mortar rounds flew towards the mountain trailing smoke behind them. After that, their temporary positions were entirely filled with the smell of gunpowder.
Scott inspected his weapon again and said, “2nd, 3rd, and 4th Platoons will charge forward with me. Radiomen, contact Battalion HQ. 1st Platoon will stay here and continue providing artillery support! Fire all the mortar rounds we collected!”
Now was not the time for them to worry about how much each mortar shell cost. The fiercer the artillery support, the fewer casualties they would suffer. Moreover, they would resupply ammunition once they took Mt. Kamet.
Other soldiers often carefully rationed the ammunition they could use in battle, but the Razor Sharp Company was different. They were the types who would spend money as they wished and use whatever ammunition they had. If they ran out, they would simply ask for more from Harris without shame. If favonovel.com refused to give them any, they would throw tantrums back at the battalion headquarters. These people were capable of doing whatever it took to get more supplies.
The Razor Sharp Company’s objective was to overcome difficulties, not be frugal while fighting a war. So, once the battle began, Scott assigned a platoon to fire the shells they had collected from Mt. Papandayan like it didn’t cost a thing.
But when they proceeded up the mountain, Scott realized the opposing forces favonovel.com was initially expecting seemed to have disappeared entirely.
After the mountain path was sealed, this route should have been heavily guarded by the bandits. However, there was no trace of anyone as they made their way up the mountain.
When they passed by the first heavy machine gun position, Scott was relieved to see that it was exactly where it was marked on the map. This meant their plan was proceeding smoothly.
At this moment, intense gunfire suddenly came from the mountain again. Scott had his men go prone and crawl all the way into a ditch on the side. But when they got into the ditch, everyone realized the gunshots were not aimed at them.
“What the f*ck’s happening on the mountaintop?” Scott was bewildered. “Everyone, charge forward with me! Milo’s in grave danger!”
But as they charged towards the final machine gun position, Scott felt from afar that something was wrong. The bandits had switched the location of this heavy machine gun position. It was not positioned on the right side of the path like it was labeled on the map, but on the left!
“This MG wasn’t destroyed in our mortar attack,” Scott said, finding it a little pitiful. “2nd Platoon Commander Wang Boren, charge your platoon forward and take out that MG!”
How could things always be smooth sailing in war?
It would, of course, be wonderful if they could always take out all of their enemy’s emplacements. But if the mortars could not take them all out, they would have to get it done by sacrificing some lives!
At this moment, people were bound to die. But still, they would die for a worthy cause!
The 2nd Platoon’s commander, Beck Oswald, looked up at the machine gun position and estimated it to be about 300 meters away from them. He said firmly to the soldiers of 2nd Platoon, “Perry, we’ll provide cover fire for you to gain another 220 meters. Can you throw a grenade at that MG position?”
The grenadier, Perry Booker, hesitated for a moment. “That’s gonna be difficult. It’s definitely in range, but I’m afraid that I won’t be accurate.”
“You have to make it happen no matter what. You only have three grenades to pull it off. If you don’t throw it accurately, all of us will have to die with you.” Beck roared, “Charge!”
Then everyone in 2nd Platoon got out of the ditch and charged up the mountain. Meanwhile, Scott and the others had already set up their heavy machine guns and got ready to provide covering fire for 2nd Platoon.
But at this moment, an explosion boomed at the final heavy machine gun position. All of the sandbags and the people inside were blown into the air!
Scott’s eyes lit up. “That’s TNT! It’s Milo! He blew up the HMG position for us! Brothers, charge!”
