Utterly Useless

When the team arrived at the said location, they cautiously and skillfully skim the area at below the said acacia was really a built pit for an underground basement. Two soldiers remain at the front to foresee the situation outside while the rest went down the basement to assail. The basement wasn't very deep and wasn't that complicated so they're able to arrive inside. The lightening was dim but they can clearly see their path. The basement was sure large, but it was spacious and nothing unusual is around.

They secretly walk inside and was alarmed at their surrounding at the entire time. There are few corners and post but the deeper they goes the uneasy it becomes.

When they are all going fine, someone of them accidentally step on a puddle which results into a great sound especially that the base is underground and sounds can echo easily!

When they turned to see that careless idiot, they saw that it was Desmond whose face is pale!

The Alpha's assigned leader just give him a warning look and they continue walking however they are all certain that the head might've sensed they are hear because of that one mistake!

This guy is not only a womanizer but also a total doofus!

He put the team into a very dire situation because of his carelessness. Of course, it's usual to make mistakes but this man kept repeating his errors ever since the mission started, he nearly got killed before and now he is trying to get the team killed! Just what's wrong with this so-called Captain!

Then, they arrived at a two route. One is for the left side and the other is on the right so they have to split. After deciding members, they continued their operation.

Eri and the other three including Desmond went into the right side. Eri was currently on the lead and more daring than Desmond that kept staggering. The other three soldiers can't help but to compare this fearless beauty and this idiot useless captain! Thy even thought that he might've used his connections to attain his position as a captain since they are aware he is some kind of a rich boy and it was actually him who doesn't belong in the battle field.

He got a muscular body but he is too effete!

Then, they suddenly heard gun shots from the other side which made them stop on their tracks, Desmond was startled and was about to go back but Eri immediately scowled.

"Where do you think you're going?' she utter as she look at him icily. This was the first time Desmond saw her frightening looks that resides in that peerless bewitching face of her. He was dumb.

"Isn't that obvious? We should go and help them!" he argued back, of course he is still a man with a pride so he can't let his self to be lowered down.

"Are you out of your mind? Don't you think that it was a single enemy that dwells in here! There are more of them and we got a mission to do! You will really die if you go at the other side!" Eri stated back in algid

"This is coming from a woman with experience, let's go!" said one of the soldier as they started walking again and doesn't care if Desmond would follow them or not.

Unlike Desmond, these three soldiers understand her perspective because there is a tendency that those who went into the left side might be facing some enemies however there is no guarantee that the final boss is there. He might be in this right side. If they go and help the rest of their team mates there is a probability that they will all end up dead or might face some gruesome situation. If they were all dead and hasn't faced the final boss yet that's a sh*t a must!

Sometimes, in the battle field, priority first and comrades is second. They need to ensure that the threat is abolished and that's the main concept of this mission and soldiers dying on the battle field wasn't new. This is a line of work that needs a dedicated mind and soul to die at any time and team work in a situation like this is a matter between life and death.

That's why no matter what, the mission must come first before anything else even if they are pained seeing their comrades suffering.

It's a ride or die!

Then when they arrived at the last corner, they saw few cells that was made up of steel but was old and rusty. The ambience wasn't very clear but it was still visible.

"Go and check those cells if there are people there" Eri said in a hush tone as the three soldiers nod in agreement, Desmond came after all but didn't acted. Eri just disregard him and started walking past by the cells as she clutch her rifle Aurora with a grip and her porcelain finger is ready to shoot at any minute.

She was totally focused on her front and was walking slowly..

'Bang!'

Many consecutives gunshot echoed at the whole surrounding and if her instinct didn't react she might have pierced with numerous bullets especially she was on the front! She is able to immediately scot at one of the cell!

One of the soldiers who is at her back was shot on the arms but they're able to scot at the other cells.

In was too sudden, but Eri saw a man with a gatling gun!

"Come out you cowards!!" roared the man vehemently as the gatling gun started to revolve cluster of barrels and fired once each per revolution! The after effect was devastating! The man suddenly shifter toward the nearest cell which Eri was hiding and if she didn't duck, she would have been dead!

The cell was dark so the man can't see her, Eri instantly recognized this man as Luca Moorne, he once seen his picture from the information that was given beforehand and it matches his countenance.

Luca stopped for a moment as he started walking and he pass by the cell where Eri was hiding, she sighed for a relief. That guy is in nuts and was in a good advantage because he was that damn gun that is able to kill a row! She clearly knows her place and she won't attack that carelessly.

She might be an exceptional well-trained Hit Man from a prestigious respectable family and was a prodigy but she isn't that brainless to go and charge without a plan. She needed to think first before attacking.

"F*cking scoundrels! Is this all you got?! You are nothing but pure trash! Ha!" Luca scowled as he continued walking until he reach the edge cell but too bad, his hawk eye noticed someone and he started to shooting upward!

The loud impactful sound of the gatling gun was disturbing into the ears but the man immediately rush forward inside the cell and grab a person that was scaredy hiding!

It was Desmond!

Desmond almost felt that he is shaking and was sweating uncontrollably! This man aura is just too fearsome and he looks so evil!

"What? You're shaking and you called yourself a soldier?" Luca laughed in mirth as he looked at Desmond with his deadly eyes that send shivers Desmond.

He was unable to say anything and he felt like as if he is mute, he don't also know what to do as he kept shuddering, he will really die his time!

Seeing that the target is engaged with someone, Eri took the chance to slowly moved out from the cell as she carefully grab her Aurora and started to walk toward the man which is a many meters away from her.

She signaled the three soldiers on the nearby cell that was hiding also to get ready for an ambush. The three nodded in agreement even if one of them was shot on the right arm but he is bearing the pain and trying to stop the blood outflow with the use his Individual First Aid Kit (IFAK)

"So are you alone by yourself? I thought I saw someone else!" Luca utter in haste while he is still grabbing Desmond in the color and at any moment, he will be suffocated because of the powerful grip!

Desmond tried to say something but his mouth isn't cooperating at all which almost made him cry! The man is already irritated and will really kill him!

"What?! Do I have to pull your tongue!' Luca spit vehemently totally annoyed by this man stupid behavior and was about to hit him in the face but Desmond suddenly spoke-

"Someone is coming from your back!!"
