Ke-style law enforcement officers

Chapter 67: The Information Was Incorrect
The dockside industrial area is much quieter at night than during the day. Light industry rarely has shift work, so the factories and workshops are basically empty at this time.

Milo and Emma walked along the riverside street without exchanging a single word for a long stretch.

In the end, it was Emma, ​​who was usually more reserved and quiet, who took the initiative to speak:
"You don't look well."

“I’m thinking about something.” Milo nodded.

"What are you thinking about?"

"I'm thinking about how to protect you."

……

Emma's look of surprise flashed for only a moment before disappearing.

She seemed to know that Milo would find out what she had done sooner or later, but she didn't expect him to find out so quickly.

"Was my method of committing the crime really that crude?"

“I wasn’t talking about Edward.” Milo shook his head, his hands still in his pockets.

“Then what you’re talking about is…” Emma frowned slightly.

"I'm talking about them."

Milo pointed in the front and back directions with his index finger and thumb, respectively.

I don't know when it started, but several figures wearing long coats and top hats appeared at both ends of the dimly lit riverside street.

Although they were hundreds of meters apart, it was easy to see from the surrounding landmarks how large and imposing these people were. In the dim light, the sense of oppression grew stronger as the distance between them closed.

The two stopped at the same time.

Emma showed no sign of tension. She slowly turned to the side, looking at the several figures steadily approaching from behind, and pulled her hand out of her pocket, holding a brown glass bottle of about 200 milliliters between her slender fingers.

"Don't rush." ​​Milo's eyelids twitched involuntarily twice when he saw the brown glass bottle.

"I'll listen to you." Emma coldly watched the figures approaching from behind.

“Go into the factory.” Milo patted Emma on the shoulder, gesturing for her to enter the industrial area on the right side of the street.

There was a lot of goods piled up inside, and the factory production lines were not properly integrated, making the area look very messy, which made it a good hiding place.

"Don't use that thing lightly."

Milo gave one last piece of advice.

According to the technical department's test results earlier today, this new type of liquid explosive has never been seen in any previous cases. If a similar explosion occurs again in a short period of time, the probability of Emma being tracked down will increase dramatically.

While Emma can be incredibly stubborn and emotional at times, she displays a level of rational thinking rarely seen in ordinary women when faced with the current situation. Lines like "If we're going to leave, we'll leave together," which seem touching but are actually quite silly, will not come out of her mouth.

Because she knew very well that if she stayed, she would only be a burden, so she only said "I'll listen to you" and walked into the factory area.

……

Milo, who remained on the street, kept a close eye on the strangers in front of and behind him.

At this point, the two groups of five people were less than 50 meters away from Milo. Generally speaking, if they didn't fire at this distance, it meant they were prepared to "quietly" finish the job.

As expected, when the two sides closed to about twenty meters, Milo saw that these people were all holding cold weapons and were not carrying firearms such as pistols.

They held steel knives covered in black plating, which in the dim light looked like each of them was carrying a wooden stick.

Milo kept a close eye on the 10 people, making sure they didn't send anyone to the factory area to chase after Emma.

To be honest, in Milo's mind, only Harrison was capable of doing something like this, but after these people got closer, Milo denied his original speculation.

Because these people were far more professional than Harrison and his ilk, they completely abandoned the high-profile, arrogant, and uncouth manners of aristocrats. They had no fancy clothes or flashy weapons, kept everything simple, and chose a secluded location to carry out their operation, where almost no passersby would walk by at night.

All of these are things that Milo could spot at a glance.

Moreover, they violated the first law of traditional villains—talking for half an hour before taking action.

These guys didn't utter a single unnecessary word, nor did they give Emma, ​​who had hidden in the factory area, a second glance. They just kept their eyes fixed on Milo, knowing that once they had Milo under control, nothing else mattered.

……

Milo discovered that it was strange for a law enforcement officer to have such concerns: he himself did not want the fighting here to alert the surrounding law enforcement personnel.

The Remington revolver was hanging at his waist, but Milo shrugged and, in perfect unison with the ten assassins in front and behind him, chose melee weapons.

To be honest, he hasn't used either of the two weapons he chose on the day he joined the company.

It's worth testing the strength of this Bowie knife called "Ex-Girlfriend".

……

Ten people surrounded Milo.

All armed with cold weapons. This setup has a bit of that "let us die with dignity" vibe from a certain assassin series.

This standoff lasted for less than four or five seconds.

The one who launched the first attack was Milo, who was surrounded.

Generally speaking, the most important combat strategy when being besieged is to quickly reduce the gap in combat power between the two sides. In other words, a defensive approach is not feasible. When there is a significant disparity in numbers, the key is to quickly reduce the number of enemy personnel. Simply retreating and defending, or launching counterattacks against the besieging forces in a piecemeal fashion, will only lead to one outcome—being worn down and killed.

The more disadvantaged you are, the more aggressive you need to be.

歘!
Milo initially chose to stand with his back against the riverside railing, but this was just a feint. When the first black steel knife came at him, he instantly lowered his body and dodged to the left. With the arc of the dodge, the blade in his right hand tore past the opponent's abdomen.

Although the re-sharpened "ex-girlfriend" is not as sharp as the original, the adjusted sharpening angle allows Milo to strike more recklessly, without fear of chipping or other problems.

Karl's combat awareness and skills, and even Robben's precise butcher's knife technique, were brought to their peak in that instant.

Based solely on his understanding of the blade's sharpness, he can precisely control the force and angle of his strike, ensuring that each cut will absolutely cleave the target area. This is a butcher's absolute control over the blade.

As the Bowie blade drew a trail of blood through the air, Milo had already moved behind his opponent, reversing his grip on the Bowie blade so that the blade and his forearm formed an angle like a mantis's claw, locking the wrist joint of the opponent's weapon-wielding hand. His other left hand used his elbow joint to lock the opponent's throat.

The blade was drawn.

Take advantage of the situation and turn around to pull.

The opponent's steel knife fell to the ground.

His entire body and the portion of his hand below the wrist flew in different directions.

……

The perspective of the undead glimpsed through the totem reveals not only fragments of memories of the people in the tomb, but also their consciousness, skills, and even emotions. Most importantly, Milo's physical strength and power are also inexplicably increasing rapidly; otherwise, he would not have been able to realize these combat techniques in his mind.

After observing Robben's undead perspective, Milo clearly realized this, and his physical strength had already doubled at that time.

After spying on Karl, Milo was in a state of extreme weakness for a long time. He lay in bed for several days, as if he had just recovered from a serious illness. He himself was not sure what his current strength was like.

But just from that single-handed over-the-shoulder throw, Milo could tell that this kind of pure physical strength enhancement was cumulative.

Using such an unreasonable wrist angle to throw someone, especially when the opponent is much larger and heavier than you, the most likely outcome is that your elbow joint will be twisted or even broken.

The real ending was that the person who was thrown backwards landed without moving, while Milo, who threw him, clearly heard the dull thud of his cervical vertebrae breaking the moment he was released.

People are dead.

But Milo's movements did not stop at all.

The direction the corpse was thrown was actually to break through the encirclement formed by the enemy. Milo made a quick dash, changing his angle of attack from back to the riverbank railing to the other side of the street where he could retreat.

The Boyce knife was then held in an overhand grip.

All of that happened in the blink of an eye. After clearly understanding the difference in pure strength between the two sides, Milo felt much less pressure.

However, their opponents were professionals after all. The moment their encirclement was broken, they quickly spread to both sides, trying to rebuild their encirclement.

Swish!
Several black steel blades tore through the cold wind and slashed down at Milo.

But Milo's fighting strategy remained unchanged. He attacked one by one according to the principle of proximity, and with the broad blade of his sword, he met the opponent's slash with a single blow, deflecting the force of the opponent's chop, and then the blade cleanly and neatly swept across the left side of his neck.

The next second, he dodged another black steel knife to the side, grabbed his opponent's wide sleeve and yanked it hard. The Boy's blade with the bleeding groove in his hand went straight into the chest cavity through the gap between the opponent's ribs. Then he raised his knee and kicked the incapacitated man several meters away.

As it turns out, this knife is indeed very useful.

With an overwhelming power advantage, knives that were originally only used for slashing in the hands of ordinary people now exhibit terrifying destructive power when piercing.

Before long, the ten-person assassin team had dwindled to three members.

They were professional enough; every slash and every pressure point was aimed at killing Milo.

The problem is that the person they are dealing with is not an ordinary black-clad law enforcement officer. He appears to be alone, but he carries the strength of three or four people, the butcher's knife sense, and the combat skills of a top law enforcement officer.

The encirclement was broken in an instant.

Even after Miloten had room to retreat, he made no move to defend himself; instead, he subtly revealed a ferocious counter-offensive trend.

……

At this point, the assassins finally realized their plan was going to be tricky.

The information he received when accepting the assassination mission was not like this. Even if he was the top scorer in the law enforcement assessment, it was absolutely impossible for him to possess such terrifying combat awareness and skills.

"Is the intelligence incorrect?"

Now they were starting to regret it, regretting why they hadn't chosen to use firearms to snipe and eliminate Milo.
