Then Artirian looked at them and his eyes narrowed and his voice differed on his way of speaking and then said "Now there will be three main groups the first one is led by me. The second group will be led by Rommel and the last group will be led by Arthur."
After that designations, Artirian then followed with a plan "The first group will enter from the cracked wall here at the west side of the detention centre. Because of the recent reports that we have seen there the cracked wall here is rarely guarded by guards. And to add to that because the courtyard is wide and the regular guards were not capable enough to cover this kind of area they are located. So that is why the first group will move here. Next are the movement and position of the second group. The main mission of the second group is to make a diversional noise that will make the guards pissed and angry than after they are pissed and furious knock them cold. After that guard the main gate for security purposes. Now the first and second group will move at the same time with no delays." Then Artirian paused for a moment and looked at the people in front of him and then asked them "Do you guys have questions on the first and second group?"
Artirian waited for 1 minute but there was none who wanted to speak so he continued with the third group movements and positions.
"Following the second and first group the third group mission is to secure and guard the rendezvous point here at sector 3 of the west of the detention centre. Their primary mission is to secure the first group which by this time is the retreat and finished extracting the 4 members. One more thing that the third group is in charge of certain circumstances that the first group needs help in reinforcement so the third group will be the first to respond"
After he discussed the positions and the movements of each group Artirian looked at the squad leader in front of him and then asked them directly "Are there any questions regarding the operations?" The two leaders looked back at Artirian and replied with "There are no problems regarding the operation sir. And we agree on the plan that you have proposed"
Artirian turned his gaze back and then said "Well summon your teams and discuss them what to do" After a few minutes, Artirian summoned all of his members and the group consisted of ten Rats including him. Then when they are all complete Artirian started to speak "Now, as we all know that our 4 brothers have been arrested and they have been locked up in one of the rooms in this house. As our intelligence scouts have reported that our brothers are locked on the second floor near the eight-room here"
Artirian pointed to the 8th room which is near the eight-room." If and only if the intelligence we have is a bait type of information and we did not find our brothers in this room we will immediately get out of the place and then retreat without any second thoughts because it will be a disaster if we let out other people that were locked there. And to add to it, I don't like wasting time and it will be hard if we are going to get captured." As Artirian was discussing the plan for his members he would take a pause and look at his men so that he could make eye contact with them to make them think that what he was saying was an operation and they must focus.
After that, he then asked his members "Do you guys understand the operation we are going to initiate?" Artirian's members replied with a confident tone of voice "Yes, Leader". After that meeting, Artirian ordered his members to wear their gears and grab their weapons. To add to their uniforms they also wear their signature black bandanas that cover half of their faces.
Then after they have geared up, they begin to move to their designated positions. Artirian then raised his hand to signal the other groups to begin the mission. And the signal has been given all of the groups began to move.
Then the first movement comes from the first group that easily knocked two patrolling guards. "Good job!" Artirain whispered to the two members who were able to knock out the patrol guards. After that the third group moves to the position of the first group and to be able to take the bodies of the knocked out patrolling guards so that the first group will be able to proceed to their next step securing the 4 brothers that have been locked at the house.
After a few seconds another signal came up and the second group began its operation. Rommel then ordered his members to start throwing rocks at the two sentries that are stationed at the main gate of the detention. The first part of the diversion is a success the guards are pissed and now calling for more guards to reinforce. "Dammit where are the other guards we need help here there are too many rocks being thrown at us!" one guard shouted as he got hit by a rock on his head and got knocked out.
Then one guard would be able to slip through the second group rock-throwing diversion but he was intercepted by the third group recon squad that was on standby a few miles near the barracks and it was lucky timing that the slip guard was about to shout but he was knocked by a sleeping dart. That is why the guard was not able to inform the village barracks on what is happening at the detention centre.
The intelligence information about the house is that there are 4 floors and there are also 10 guards guarding inside. And when the first group opened the door at the entrance they were met with 3 guards that were in full armour as like a regular infantry soldier. Artirian did not think twice and he quickly unsheathes his Bokken sword and attacked the 3 guards that were in front of them Artirian first attacked the guard that was on the left. "I'll let you meet the Bokken sword of death!" he shouted as the Bokken sword slashed the guard horizontally. And then followed with the spurt of blood. Then after Artirian kicked the 2nd guard which was at the middle and then Artirian quickly stabs the neck of that guardsmen.
The guardsman did have the time to fight because Artirian was too quick at that attack. While the last one was able to block Artirian first attack but did not expect that Artirian will kick him from below. And that opening made him pay the price and it is death, as Artirian decapitated him. Then came another two more guards but luckily Artirian has good men behind so they took care of the new guards that were going to attack him. Luckily it was quickly blocked by the member that was covering Artirian back. "Thanks!" Artirian said then the member nods.
One of the skills of the Bokken sword when it fights as it gets sharper every time it comes into contact with flesh and blood and as it gets sharper even a thick armour can be sliced through easily like butter. But in a battle sometimes there will be circumstances that were not in decisions and that is when one of the members of Artirian got stabbed in the stomach by a guardsman.
"Dammit why did I not see that coming." then the guardsmen say "You won't see me coming hehe". The kid that was stabbed by the guardsmen slowly weakened and as the guardsman pulled his sword from the stab blood would spurt from the wound. "RAHHH!" Artirian shouted as he charged towards the guard. Artirian anger was met its point so Artirian jumps forward and as he lands he would cut down the guardsman. The guardsman instantly died from the deep cuts that Artirian had given to.
But there was still a survivor who was trying to run from Artirian. "NO! Please… Let me go, I need to go to my family! NO!" As Artirian looked at the guardsman who was crawling on the ground. Artirian then grabs the feet of the survivor and then twists it for the guardsman to look at him and as Artirian looked at the guardsmen his gaze would pierce through the guardsman's eyes. It was the eyes of the wolf beast and other beasts that they have slain in Lorned horned shire.
Artirian then swings his sword on the other direction to clean the blood from the sword as it transfers the blood to the ground. "Say bye to your dreams, nothing personal only business" Artirian then stabs the survivor on the stomach then follows at the direct position of the heart.
"UGH~" the guardsman on the ground mouth will leak blood as Artirian stabbed his heart and after that, he looked back at one of their members that died Artirian was still angry and furious his feeling was too fragile. "You two take that member and retreat. I am going to save the others." then another guardsman saw what Artirian did and then shouted "MONSTER! KILLER! MONSTER!" Artirian turns around slowly and on the point of view of the guardsman, it was the death that came to his gaze. He then whispers to himself "It's my time". After that, the guardsman vision came black.
After that Artiriana and some of the remaining members followed him to the second floor of the house and when they reached the second it was quiet. So they start to carefully watch where they step so that it will remain dead silent. Then when Artirian looked at the first room he then saw the 4 members that were captured so he signalled the rest to destroy the door. So that they were able to rescue the one who was inside. Then a sudden *BOOM* After that Artirian said "that was too quiet I see" After that the first group starts to retreat as they have secured the 4 members that were captured.
Meanwhile, in the front gate, the 2nd group was still using different tactics. Their first tactic is already done because they are now lacking in stones so they prepared a major one throwing bottle fire. "THROW IT!" and one of the members threw it and as it landed on the ground a large flame was created even the guards were shocked and started to run for their own lives.
The remaining first group with Artirian was able to get out of the house in the exact time for their evac and with the 4 members that they have rescued. Artirian and his members proceed to the cracked wall to be received by the 3rd group that was guarding the exit point at that time. After the first group was able to quickly move to the rendezvous point they then signalled the 2nd group to retreat. Once the 2nd group receives the signal they quickly withdraw but they would make a follow-up throw of the skunk bomb so that there will be no guardsman that may be able to follow the retreat.
The mission ended with success and the cost of a single life within the group's ranks. Each member in the operation was debriefed about what happened and for the body of the teenage kid that was stabbed he was given an honorary funeral near the hideout. As a fallen member of the Rats.
