1337 Alexander's Horror
Tilda and team Omega were finally out. But this wasn't the end of it. They still had to leave the palace safely.
Josh placed Tilda down, now that they had finally gotten out of harm's way.
Meanwhile, in another corner of the inner sector, Landon and his team had already sneakily infiltrated Alexander's building, moving about in full enemy attire.
As much as he could blow up and destroy whatever he wanted, this was, in fact, Tilda's Palace.
So~... No.
They had to act respectively when taking care of things.
Additionally, they didn't have time to start looking through all rooms and exits searching for Paula.
They needed information fast. And in these times of chaos with guards running about continuously, some words and orders gave clues to where they should go.
"Smoke! Smoke! Fire below, get water."
"Quick, inform his majesty of the troubles at the back."
"No! Inform his majesty of the front entrance door being shattered!"
The chaos spilled throughout the scene.
Outside the palace, one of Landon's subunits created trouble for the enemy from a safe distance that wouldn't make one suspect them.
First off, grenades had launched towards the massive room front doors that looked like a gate meant for a giant.
They obliterated the door with a force that made those inside fear that the falling fire from the sky was now trying to enter the building.
With the doors and windows all around the building's ground floor destroyed, they began sending less-lethal explosives into the building, causing turmoil everywhere.
But that wasn't all. Some units that successfully snuck in secretly created more unrest in particular regions across the 2nd floor.
They didn't attack all areas, just particular ones. They made it seem as though the attack had come flying in through the windows they securely shattered.
Everything was going as they planned.
The enemy was now having doubts about how in the world they were supposed to protect themselves.
F***!
There was even an instant when some felt an attack that was as deadly as a thousand peppers in their eyes.
First, an unknown white popped engulfed the space, followed by this stinging pain in their pitiful eyes.
It was just too cruel.
Their eyes almost bled, and their nostrils were choked, giving him a harder time breathing.
They, who had never cried, were now suddenly crying buckets. It was uncontrollable. And no matter how hard they tried to calm their eyes down, nothing seemed to be working.
Dammit!
If an event were to attack them now, they wouldn't focus on that person.
The feeling they had now was to drip their weapons and rub their eyes hard.
Mommy... Who the hell were the heavens against?
(:¥^¥:)
Everyone was convinced that it was the heavens firing their wrath to them mere mortals since they saw the spot appear with no fire and create such a magical stinging feeling in their eyes.
Like so, the undercover units were continuously dishing out several less-lethal explosives in the building. After all, they didn't want to destroy the building. So the less lethal ones were the way to go.
Alexander should now be at his wit's end, not knowing where to start or begin.
With this, coupled with the ghastly image of carnage raining and raising the ground several feet into the air, how could Alexander have time to entertain Paula?
You must be joking!
Alexander had long left the room in the guest wing, heading straight to his chambers.
Are you kidding? Fire from the sky was raining down. And you expect him to be without armor?
Moreover, he didn't think anyone would touch or free Paula. After all, it wasn't as if they were under enemy attack. Their problem was from the sky!
.
Kilmonga wore a grim expression on his face, escorting Alexander like a general.
"Your majesty, the situation outside and inside is dangerous. Your majesty, we need to leave via the secret path, at least until matters die down!"
Alexander nodded, feeling that it would be best. The situation was truly unexpected.
More painfully, he was just about to dive and eat his fill when this entire thing began.
Thinking of Paula's body, Alexander suddenly paused.
Should he take her along with him?
"Your majesty, we are already in the corridors of our Wing. Please, whatever it is, let's get you first suited up before dealing with things." Kilmonga said, understanding Alexander's hesitation.
In truth, Kilmonga was also in a hurry to get suited up too!
What he saw outside was too frightening and had brought clarity to his mind, especially seeing the many fallen men outside the palace roads and streets.
No matter what, he had to survive. So they don't have time to care for some woman.
"Hmmm... Since we're already here, then let's do as you've said." Alexander replied, gritting his teeth through his words.
He just thought it was a shame for Paula to perish without fulfilling his revenge.
He turned towards another guard behind Kilmonga. "Get her."
"Yes, your majesty." The guard replied, leaving Alexander's wing, planning to head back to the Guest wing in the far corner of the 3rd floor.
Alexander only asked one person since he didn't think it should be a hassle to bring Paula up.
But unbeknownst to him, right at this very moment, several intruders had already inside the Guest Wing.
Standing in the Grand Entrance Hall of the Wing, Landon quickly identified 5 doors at the end of the hall: 2 up the stairs and 3 at the same floor level he was at.
The Wing was reasonably desolate since many had been running around to assist in one way or another.
And to take care of those in the hallway leading here, they also threw out less-lethal explosives to weaken the others... Killing these enemies would only raise alarm once discovered.
At least for now, no killing.
Additionally, they also released a simple green flare and barged into the Wing's Hall, pretending to be affected by the attack.
The green smoke convinced the 5 guards in here.
What?!!
Has the fire reached this place?
"Fire!"
