What the squid commander didn't notice was.
While he was issuing commands, several miniature drones, accompanied by a few mechanical dogs, had silently slipped into the underground space through the blast-opened doorways.
The drone wings, which had undergone silencing treatment, caused no notice from anyone in this disordered and chaotic underground space due to the darkness.
Even the giant squid soldiers at the door were the same.
The body that was shattered by a shell is still lying there in its original place.
Given the precedence, no one would dare to approach the door in this darkness.
After flying into the underground space, everything in the underground space was clearly presented in front of Gray Wolf and others.
It didn't take long before the situation in the underground space was fully grasped by everyone...
"Captain, we have confirmed that the number of people here is roughly the same as what those squids said earlier. Most of them are hostages, and they are mostly tied up and held captive..."
"The defense layout inside is also similar to what the squids mentioned before. Behind the main door is a wall, behind which there's a temporary heavy machine gun platform, and there's also another heavy machine gun on the right..."
While investigating the situation inside, Wolf Bear and Mountain Wolf were reporting to Gray Wolf at the same time.
At that moment, Wolf Bear paused and then said:
"Captain, the squids have moved. They've taken the camel people to the back of the main door!"
Upon hearing this, Gray Wolf's eyes narrowed slightly.
He instantly figured out the reason behind it.
"Truly scum..."
A low murmur was quietly whispered among the surrounding Mountain Wolves and others.
They kill civilians recklessly when they can overpower them, and they use civilians as hostages and shields when they can't win.
"Other than scum, we really can't find any other words to describe them."
At that moment, a hoarse voice suddenly sounded——
"Hear me, those outside, stop all actions at once. The camels you're trying to save are behind the door. If you dare to fire a shot, these camels will die in your hands, and then you'll be the murderers of these camels!"
"In addition, if you dare to fire another shot, we will execute one of the camels. Believe me, we mean what we say, and don't test our patience!"
The hoarse voice sounded as if a desperate wolf was cornered.
Listening to the hoarse voice, Gray Wolf's expression was incredibly calm.
Without anger or hatred.
Walking through the darkness repeatedly, he had seen too many of these scum and garbage.
These squids in front of him are not the first, and are probably not the last either.
"Deal with it..."
Without any more nonsense, Gray Wolf directly gave the order.
"Understood!"
After receiving Gray Wolf's order, Forest Wolf and the others looked at each other, and then directly controlled the mechanical dogs that had infiltrated the room to start their action.
In the darkness, the squids could only rely on their familiarity with the environment to forcefully tie up the humans and use them as human shields.
But the mechanical dogs are different.
As "reconnaissance agents," they have night vision, which is the basic ability of mechanical dogs!
After adjusting the direction, under the control of Forest Wolf and the others, the mechanical dogs started their action directly.
Zzzz...
In the darkness, a faint blue light suddenly began to flash.
The next moment——
Swoosh swoosh swoosh!!
Bullet by bullet, they were directly fired from the gun barrel of the mechanical dog's head!
But it was just for a moment, and the bullets had already pierced the space and reached the position where the squids were located.
Pfft!!
Against the indestructible metal and carbon-based bodies, they had absolutely no resistance at all!
In the darkness, the red and white substances were constantly scattered.
At close range, each bullet from the mechanical dog was almost aimed directly for the head.
Pfft pfft...
The sound of heavy objects falling to the ground continued to ring out one after another.
That was the sound of bodies collapsing under the force of gravity after losing control!
At the same time, the weapons that the squids were holding and wearing fell to the ground.
With the passage of time, the squid commander who was still growling lowly gradually realized something was wrong.
"What's going on?"
Can't see in the dark, but can hear!
In the darkness, you can't see but you can hear! The sound of bullets fired by the mechanical dogs was very faint, but the sound of watermelons bursting and heavy objects falling was incredibly clear!
And the almost overpowering smell of blood made it almost suffocating!
When he turned to look again, he saw that in every corner, there seemed to be faint blue light flickering.
As if they were ghosts wandering in the darkness.
Suddenly——
"Aaaaaah!"
A sharp scream echoed suddenly.
The sudden scream made everyone jump.
"S……str……strange body!"
Before anyone could react, the terrified voice rang out again!
"What kind of body?"
The squid commander was alarmed in his heart, and a strong tide of unease swept over him. However, he finally managed to suppress the unease and fear in his heart and composed himself, saying firmly.
"S……SaiGran, SaiGran is dead!"
The terrified voices kept echoing in a broken and discontinuous manner.
SaiGran?
At the sound of this name, all the squids trembled violently.
This is a fellow squid!
"Plasht!"
In the midst of everyone's terror, another sound echoed.
"Neilks is also dead!"
Before anyone could think much, several more voices rang out in succession——
"Fred is also dead!"
"Tilarai……"
"..."
Voices filled with unmasked fear kept ringing out one after another.
In a moment, all the squids panicked!
Hastily getting up, they grabbed their weapons and stood up.
Panic-stricken eyes scanned the darkness continuously.
Pfft!!
Another sound of a watermelon bursting echoed.
Another squid's watermelon shattered.
Red and white substances sprayed everywhere!
This time, the red and white substances scattered around and directly splattered onto the face of a squid not far away!
After the "lone" squid was hunted to extinction, what's left now are only these squids that have gathered together.
The sudden splash of warm object on their faces caused the squids that were already frightened to freeze.
At this moment, their souls seemed to be directly fixed.
It took an unknown amount of time for them to finally come to their senses.
Subconsciously reaching out to wipe away the warm thing on their face.
"What is this... blood? Flesh?"
"Blood and flesh?"
Boom!!
As if a thunderous rumble had struck the top of a mountain!
The squid soldier's mind exploded instantly.
Unparalleled fear completely enveloped his mind and soul!
However, before he could think more——
Pfft!!
In the darkness, a shadow instantly rushed towards his watermelon bursting.
The squid's watermelon burst……
"No! It's magic!"
"It's magic!"
With the watermelon bursting one after another, one by one squid comrades fell to the ground.
Under the overwhelming darkness and fear of the unknown, the remaining squids finally could not hold on any longer.
Their minds directly snapped!
Tap tap tap!!
A squid was pulling the trigger, wildly shooting around in the underground room!
However, before he could finish his sweep——
Pfft!!
With a sound of a watermelon bursting, all movements ceased at this moment!
There were still some who wanted to use camel hostages as shields, but just as they were about to act, a bullet from somewhere suddenly pierced through their bodies……
"Magic!"
"It's magic!"
"It must be a magic artifact!"
When the sixth squid, who was panicking and firing randomly, was wiped out, the remaining squids finally collapsed completely.
"No! Don't kill me! I was just following orders, I didn't kill any camels, I was forced!"
"I was also forced, it was all Harryim who pushed me, I didn't want to force that camel girl!"
"I'm innocent, don't kill me, please don't kill me!"
"That child wasn't killed by me. I just gave him a hand grenade, and it was him who pulled the pin. It's not my fault..."
"Tank... the tank wasn't me who drove it. That woman ran onto the tank tracks herself, I didn't want to run over her. It's not my fault, it's not my fault..."
"God! God bless, God bless!"
"..."
Plash plash...
Guns were thrown to the ground one after another.
One by one, the squid soldiers who had broken down mentally fell to their knees, their bodies trembling as they began to repent.
However——
Pfft!!
Pfft!!
The sound of watermelon bursting echoed once again!
Repent?
The mechanical dog can't understand the squid's words.
As for God, he had already been crucified!
"Dammit! Get up! Get up all of you! It must be those f**king outsiders causing trouble! Get up and counterattack!!"
Listening to the trembling voices ringing in his ears, the squid commander was also covered in fear, but he still forced himself to roar with determination.
Magic?
He doesn't believe in magic!
He used to tell the camel he killed that he was Satan!
He is Satan, how could magic dare to approach him!
If there is really magic in the world, then it can only be him, the squids!
These things, must not be...
Pfft!!
A bullet, invisible to the naked eye in the darkness, instantly tears through space and reaches the position of the squid commander.
With a sound of a watermelon bursting.
All the squid commander's thoughts and actions stopped abruptly!
The bullet that entered through the center of the squid commander's forehead directly blasted away half of his watermelon!
The red and white substances scattered around, splattering everywhere.
...
After several minutes, everything returned to calmness.
There were forty multiple squids.
But this time, there were ten mechanical dogs that infiltrated.
Although a single mechanical dog only carries five bullets, the ten of them carry a total of fifty bullets!
Boom!!
After another loud explosion, the heavy steel door was completely shattered!
...
On the other side, outside the squid village, in a hidden camel command center.
Including Modalarhan, a group of camel commanders were restless, sitting or standing.
The group of people kept glancing at the distant sky that kept flashing with explosions, the direction of which was the squid's location.
Similarly, it's also the direction where Grey Wolf and others are heading!
"Is there any news yet?"
After an unknown amount of time, Modalarhan could not help but speak again.
This was the thirteenth time Modalarhan had asked within a mere hour.
"Not yet..."
In response to the question, the sand camel commander in charge of communication in front of Modalarhan immediately replied.
Upon hearing this, the worry on Modalarhan's face grew even more intense.
Unable to sit still, Modalarhan started pacing around in the command center.
"Prince, what if something happens over there?"
After several more minutes, one of the camel commanders beside Modalarhan couldn't help but speak.
However, before the words could fall, Modalarhan's cold gaze cut off the remaining words.
The camel commander stopped abruptly after being interrupted by Modalarhan.
But in the end, he could only shut up.
He really wanted to say if they would fail.
But it was obvious that Modalarhan did not want to hear that.
Not just Modalarhan, but all of them did not want to hear that.
If even teams equipped with advanced technology like Grey Wolf cannot succeed, who can succeed?
If they fail, they may have to abandon their action against the squids, or even abandon those camel hostages!
At this moment——
The camel commander in charge of communication beside him suddenly trembled violently.
Not long after, the camel commander directly got up from his seat and excitedly said:
"Prince, there's a message from the other side, asking us to go to Area C8 to pick up people; the hostages have been rescued..."
Yes, the hostages have been rescued!
Hearing that, including Modalarhan, everyone's heart was shaken!
Is that true?
Just moments later, Modalarhan recovered and quickly breathed in, staring at the reporting camel commander intently and asking in a low voice.
"Yes, of course! This is a message from Grey Wolf leader. They have rescued all surviving hostages and are now heading to Area C8..."
Sigh!!!
Again receiving a positive response, everyone couldn't help but draw a cold breath in.
On everyone's faces, an expression of disbelief and awe could not be helped but to emerge.
"They... how did they manage to do that?"
After a long time, one of the camel commanders finally spoke up.
Rescue the hostages!
It sounds simple.
But it's at the squid's base, which makes it much more difficult!
And it's a rescue in an underground fortress that can withstand mushroom attacks!
They've organized multiple rescue missions before.
But the final outcome is that they've paid a huge price, and not a single person has been rescued!
And even because of their actions, the squids have massacred hundreds of people in front of them with the hostages!
In the squid's words, it's a warning of their actions!
According to their previous experiences, in order to rescue those hostages, it's necessary to deploy large-scale reinforced forces!
Otherwise, it's impossible to breach the squids' defenses.
Moreover, even if they deploy large-scale reinforced forces, as long as the squids have some time to react, they will definitely use the hostages as shields if they see the situation is not favorable!
At that time, even if they break through the squid's defenses, what they will get is nothing but cold corpses!
Therefore, the only possibility to rescue the hostages is to utterly destroy the squids' power before they react, with such swiftness that it leaves them no time to respond!
However, this is almost impossible!
Without reinforced forces, it's impossible to break through!
Reinforced forces can't operate on a large scale without being detected, and they also can't break through the defenses in a short time.
This can be said to be a complete dead end!
Now, that almost impossible task has been accomplished by Grey Wolf and others!
At this moment, all the camels felt disbelief.
Some couldn't help but subconsciously doubt whether they had experienced a hallucination!
"Prince, Grey Wolf leader said that the current condition of the hostages is very poor and they urgently need medical aid and food supplementation. Please quickly go to Area C8 to pick up those hostages..."
As the camel commanders were all in a daze, the camel communication officer who had just reported spoke again.
Upon hearing this, Modalarhan and others finally recovered.
Taking a deep breath, Modalarhan forced down all the thoughts in his heart and directly said:
"Pass my order, have Sulaiman go to Area C8 to meet them!"
"Yes!" The communication officer quickly responded to Modalarhan's order.
Having instructed the communication officer, Modalarhan said again:
"Order Shak, gather all cannons and rocket launchers, and immediately conduct indiscriminate saturation strikes on all squid positions and designated squid target areas!"
"Order Yacsu, after the ground offensive with the artillery is over, push forward all units! No mercy for any opposing forces!"
...
Command after command tumbled out of Modalarhan's mouth.
Without the hostages as a concern, they no longer have to be timid.
Tonight, they would personally ring the squid's death knell!
