Capítulo 29: UNEXPECTED ENCOUNTER.
For the rest of the day, training continued as usual, as he continued besting the other recruits in marksmanship, close combat fighting, and other areas that the organization focused on in their training.
...
The next day during training, the commander of the base came to visit them for the first time. Clark was probably the only recruit, who already met him before now. All the recruits greeted, as the commander addressed them.
His burly and muscular figure was enhanced further when he faced the recruits from an elevated platform. After a week of indoctrination and training, there were already some fanatics in their midst, as they shook with excitement, knowing that this was the overall leader of their base.
The commander first announced to them that they will all graduate today, which clearly showed the difference between standard military training and the farce of training, done by this terrorist organization.
After the announcement, a lot of recruits rejoiced, as they thought they were already invincible as graduates.
Following the first announcement, the commander announced that they will be leaving this town the next day and that this base will probably receive another mission in a week, which brought more excitement to the recruits.
Clark joined in their joy, but felt sour inwardly, as a mission meant that they will probably attack a town or a government military base.
“Maybe, I can use this as an opportunity to just complete my training,” he thought.
...
The next day, the base became busy as every soldier started loading their vehicles with the organization’s equipment. They were prepared to leave. Unfortunately, things didn’t always go according to plan, as the base welcomed an unexpected attack from the local police force.
Boom!! A grenade exploded in the camp, as a commotion immediately started. It seems the police already discovered the identity of the base, as they came with heavy weapons that held heavier firepower.
Ka! Ka! Ka ka! A rain of bullets was let loose from an approaching artillery armed military vehicle. The terrorist soldiers who failed to react in time quickly started dying in droves, as the others quickly returned fire.
“It seems the terrorist base has a back exit that I didn’t know about,” Clark thought, as after listening to a command, all the vehicles started moving to the backyard.
He didn’t linger in one place, as he quickly jumped and latched into a moving pick-up vehicle. The car quickly picked momentum, speeding forward. A lot of soldiers, especially the recruits couldn’t get into the vehicles, as they were left behind without hesitation.
The terrorists were not intending to endanger themselves further, by waiting for some incompetent soldiers in their midst. Clark simply thanked his lucky stars, for unearthing his bag from where he kept it the previous night before the day started.
Seeing them trying to retreat, the police force simply refused to yield, as they started blocking the terrorist’s escape route.
This was the decision they regretted, as the veteran soldiers and high-grade soldiers of the base finally came down to clear a path on the Commander's orders. After hesitating for a moment, Clark decided to join them, to earn some battle merits.
As the police force was just a local one, despite them being well trained, there was no high-grade soldier among them which disadvantaged them.
2 high-grade soldiers led the charge, as the terrorists retaliated with force. Luckily, this police division didn’t overestimate themselves, as they came with energy shields.
Despite the protection from the shields, the policemen started dying in the dozens from the strong firepower. They also retaliated, reaping a lot of lives from the terrorist force.
Bam!! Bam!! Bam!! The first high-grade soldier arrived on the battlefield, as he unleashed hell with his shotgun. The thick red beams being shot out and the huge sound accompanying it, sounded so intimidating as they started impacting the policemen.
The shields erected by the policemen broke like paper from his firepower, while he used his other hand to slaughter with his sword, as the police offensive quickly faltered. Despite the firepower on him, his armor held, as he dodged most of the shots focused on him.
The second-high grade soldier arrived, as he also started a slaughter with his 2 swords. His 2 swords left afterimages behind, as he cut policeman after policeman in 2. The terrorist organization regained the upper hand immediately, as the police force finally decided to order a retreat.
As they drew back, they still shot at the terrorists who were rushing back into their transport cars.
During the shooting, Clark tried to minimize death shots as much as possible by spreading his shots in a wider area. Some terrorist soldiers noticed, but they shrugged it off, as this was to them his first real shoot fighting.
It was already commendable that he didn’t cower in fear like the other recruits, and most importantly he survived the shooting which was shocking as some veteran soldiers died in this battle.
“My worth probably rose a few levels in their hearts after this battle,” he thought with satisfaction.
