Tire screeched and a green armored jeep stopped a few ters away.
The five veterans were alard initially until a soldier ca out of the vehicle, waving his hand. They smiled and waved back, jogging toward the vehicle.
Everyone shook hands. No need to introduce; they understood each other very well.
"Long ti no see, brother." He hugged the leader.
"Thanks for the assist. Still 4.5 right?"
"Don't talk money in front of our brotherhood." The man patted his chest and complained. "We got each other's back."
The five n, who escaped from Spirit Fox chase for a while, had their lips twitched. If not for the money, this bastard wouldn't even welco them with a smile. Instead, he would imdiately betray long friendship for rits.
"Alright, we better move. Soone refused to let go of us." The five n looked behind with worries.
"Get in." Afterward, the jeep disappeared from the alleyway. Inside everyone changed clothes to army uniforms. They put their bags in the hidden compartnt. "So, what's with your expression of relief? Is the police giving a hard ti?"
Five n exchanged glances bitterly and asked about the units they encountered. They were certain, that police shouldn't normally possess such an elite unit.
"Them. So, you were chased by them?" The officer was stunned and ordered his driver to speed up. He didn't co alone. Five military trucks filled with soldiers and three armored jeeps arrived here in the na of helping City N police. Of course, when he picked up these veterans, he ordered the convoy to distance itself from his vehicle. So, his actions remained hidden.
He explained the recent deeds of Spirit Fox. The five n were surprised, to say the least.
Charlie 6 ca out of the alley to the road and looked around. Everyone had disbelief in their eyes. How could they miss the people they were pursuing?
The team leader looked toward the right to see a military convoy speeding away and approached the nearest police unit, patrol officers on standby.
The police officer was about to report when his collar was grasped firmly and lifted up in the air. He was stunned before coming to his senses and was about to complain.
"Don't you see anyone coming out of the alleyway!" The team leader roared and pointed in the direction. "What are you doing that you've missed the suspects?"
"What? What?" The two officers were confused. Their expressions frustrated the team leader.
Putting the officer back down after gaining so sanity, the team leader described what happened. "We were chasing the suspect in this direction. How could they disappear out of thin air?"
"How would we know?"
"Aren't you here surveying around? Why can't you see these 5 people with weapons escape?" Experience exclusive tales on empire
"Hmph! Don't you, won fail and begin to bla us, man."
"Don't diverge the topic…" The team leader paused as Athena spoke through the channel. "So..that's it." She narrowed her eyes at the military convoy.
"Hmph! Always blaming others." The officer was not to be outdone.
"Well, let's get to your business." She pointed her finger at the military trucks. "Why do you let them in?"
"The military, of course. Naturally…"
"Under whose order." She cut his speech off. "You don't know, right? You decide yourself arbitrarily."
"I'm for public safety…"
"Bullshit your excuses. The least you could do is to inform the headquarters about the situation. But you didn't at all. You should be ashad and quit doing your job." She added. "Why do you think we don't involve other departnts? Isn't everything clear?
I'm reporting this to Chief Yang. You better be prepared for your future."
The rest of her teammates were a little unaccustod to her sudden outrage but they empathized with her feelings. After all, she encountered too many setbacks today with little achievent until now. Though she solved many obstacles along the way, she hadn't captured the true culprits.
Ignoring her teammates' expressions, she led the team to sprint behind the truck, requesting other units to blockade the military truck, leaving behind the two officers who were scolded hard. Her partners weren't sure about the reason but upon Athena's confirmation, everyone trusted Athena's conjecture.
Actually, Athena witnessed directly from the satellite but she couldn't say a word about it. The team leader reported her findings to the headquarters for further orders. In the anti, the group had to run behind in disgust. If only there were their vehicles nearby, everyone thought.
In fact, the mont her report reached Yang Qingyue's desk, high-level officers went to an extrely busy mode. The police chief asked why she received no reports of military involvent.
She suspected the military planned to go against her. Discussing with Tang Ziyi and Xiao Yue, everyone ca to the sa conclusion, the military ant nothing good.
At the sa ti, other Spirit Fox units plus the incoming reinforcent were guided by Athena to initiate, vehicle intervention. This plan was only uploaded a few minutes later, causing Yang Qingyue and Cai Ning to think deeply before agreeing.
Tang Ziyi and Xiao Yue expressed their certainty the military harbored the criminals inside one of their transports. Their words and the usual achievent by Spirit Fox allowed Yang Qingyue to gamble once.
Cai Ning rubbed her forehead, sighing at the complexities of the situation that arose from an ordinary bank heist to hostage rescue to sothing else. Actually, the four of them realized, with the military's intervention, arresting the five criminals was close to null.
Military, among many organizations, was known to protect its shortcomings the most. Whether this convoy acted on its own without superiors' command or not, they would solve within themselves, barring outsiders. Furthermore, because of Yang Qingyue's cracking down on contraband a few months ago, the two's relationship to cooperate was now impossible.
A few minutes later, two Aegis vehicles blocked the path of the military convoy, followed by several vans behind. All operators dismounted and dashed toward the strong defensive position.
Behind the convoy, Charlie 6 gasped for breath and reacted similarly. From the entrapnt perspective, their side was the weakest. They were suspicious about whether they could fight properly with their tongues out of their mouths.
Not for long, a few vans and SUVs roared past them and skidded to a stop. Everyone giddied up since their friends had arrived. Of course, their confidence increased when another Aegis slowly crawled from behind as deterrence.
The thick armor and tall stature flaunt its invincible aura in the urban background. The turret gunner stabilized her rifle and aid at the soldiers.
On the two sides, Spirit Fox teams, who were free from encirclent, were rushing on foot. Within one minute, everyone would be able to overwhelm the military. Surrounded on four sides, ignoring the possibility of friendly fire, Spirit Fox's montum already scared so soldiers in the convoy.
Blue and red flickering lights against the background of army green camouflage. Not to be outdone, The military maneuvered the vehicles in a defensive posture and soldiers dismounted. Their boots rapidly hamred the asphalt as everyone jumped off the trucks.
The soldiers spread out to secure their periters and aid at the Spirit Fox's operators with their QBZ-95, cocking the weapons. Heightened tensions spread as ordinary people who witnessed the standoff and scread, then rushed for cover or a safe haven.
The aura between the two parties collided; no one wanting to give away their vulnerabilities.
