Meanwhile, after Zhang Hao climbed onto the roof, the entire battlefield was basically in his field of vision. He lay down, holding his sniper rifle, and after a quick search, he quickly located the adjutant and his men.

They were about to brutally kill the children who had gathered together, but some members of their group, seeing how young the children were, couldn't bear it and said to their adjutant:

"Captain, these...they're all kids. Should we keep them and send them to Hafk?"

The adjutant glared at the soldier with a look of utter disappointment.

“They take in hundreds of adults at a time, but these few are the descendants of criminals. What’s the point of keeping them? Their fathers have caused trouble for Lord Hamk to varying degrees. These kinds of evil should be eliminated as soon as possible.”

After leaving one soldier to deal with the children, the adjutant led the rest of the men to continue searching for survivors in other areas. The soldier looked at the children who were staring at him with fearful eyes, silently said "I'm sorry," and then raised his gun at them.

Those children probably knew their fate, so they huddled together, closed their eyes, and awaited death.

With a "bang," the children didn't live to see death. When they opened their eyes, they saw the soldier with the gun staring in disbelief as he fell to the ground.

After dealing with this person, Zhang Hao once again pointed his gun at the group heading towards the residential area.

As his gunshots rang out, the soldiers watched in horror as their comrades fell one by one around them.

"There's a sniper! Quick, get inside and hide!"

Seeing this, the adjutant quickly led the last soldier to break down the door of the nearest house.

Inside the house, there was only an elderly woman lying motionless on the bed and a little girl shivering in a corner.

Upon seeing the two, the adjutant grinned at the little girl, then silently pointed his gun at her.

However, what he didn't know was that Zhang Hao had already switched to the armor-piercing bullets that Luna had specially prepared for him. These bullets were more than enough to penetrate a wall. After estimating the approximate location in his mind, Zhang Hao said something quietly.

"You demons, go to hell!"

Chapter 66 Pursuit

"Little girl, don't be afraid, the pain will be over soon, hahaha, this is your grandma, right? Don't worry, she will come to join you soon."

The adjutant gave the little girl a disgusting smile, grinning menacingly as he prepared to fire.

He was different from others. Others joined Hamk's ranks either to earn a living or to follow their leader and make a name for themselves. But he was different. He enjoyed the pleasure of torturing and killing those weaker than him.

He was originally a weakling in the Asara Guard, often getting beaten to the ground during combat training. Hearing the laughter from those around him, his ridiculous self-esteem was trampled on.

By chance, he witnessed Hamk's cruel treatment of prisoners and heard the screams of Hamk's captives as they were brutally tortured. Watching from the sidelines, he felt a strange sense of satisfaction. When Hamk handed over these prisoners to him, he excitedly agreed.

Looking at the prisoners hanging up without any power to resist, he vented all the grievances he had suffered on them that night. No matter how much they cried for help, he did not stop. Just before the sun was about to rise, these people, after enduring many tortures that ordinary people could not bear, died unwillingly with great resentment.

From then on, he idolized Hamk. The moment Hamk announced his defection from the Asara Guard, he followed Hamk like a lackey. In the constant battles, he gained great pleasure from the torture and killing of the weak. So even in this moment of crisis, when he saw two villagers in the house who were not capable of fighting, he forgot all his fear.

Under the girl's terrified gaze, he slowly pulled the trigger, but just as the bullet was about to fly out, a soldier beside him seemed to have no longer been able to tolerate his behavior and shoved him away.

"Damn it, what time is it? All our brothers are dead! This is a trap, you know? The sniper is probably aiming at us from somewhere right now. All you do is target these old people and kids. You're a fucking animal, a piece of scum!"

The soldier shouted excitedly at him. He had finally realized that this adjutant was a madman, an incompetent madman. In this situation, they should usually be retreating, but this good-for-nothing still couldn't resist torturing the old people and children. Even if it weren't for the war, this kind of person would eventually become a scourge on society.

The adjutant was surprised to see the soldier roaring at him. He never expected that a mere soldier, as insignificant as an ant, would dare to lay a hand on him, his adjutant. This was an outrageous act that could not be forgiven.

He silently pointed his gun at the soldier who was still cursing him. With a bang, the little girl next to him covered her ears and couldn't help but cry. She didn't know why the two people were arguing. She only knew that the adult who had pushed away the one who pointed the gun at her had been killed.

"Damn it, even an ant dares to jump on me, you've been itching to die, haven't you? I'll shoot you!"

Seemingly still not satisfied, he fired several more shots at the motionless soldiers.

After venting his anger, he turned his gaze back to the little girl in the corner.

"Are you crying for him? Then go and be with him."

The adjutant didn't want to delay any longer. The commotion just now was enough for even a skilled sniper to pinpoint his location. He needed to deal with the two men quickly and then retreat. Who knew how many accomplices that sniper had?

Zhang Hao, watching the two people enter from the rooftop, waited for a long time without seeing any movement. So he took out a detection arrow given to him by Luna, took out his bow, and shot it into the sky. As a red light appeared, the people in the room came into Zhang Hao's view, but he saw that one of them fired a shot at his accomplice.

"What's going on? Never mind, there seem to be two more villagers inside. We need to deal with them quickly."

Before he could disappear from sight, Zhang Hao aimed at the adjutant in the room again and pulled the trigger.

From the girl's and the old woman's perspective, just as the killer was about to take their lives, a hole was suddenly ripped open in the top of his head, and he collapsed helplessly to the ground.

Thus, the six-man squad led by the adjutant was wiped out, and this disgusting adjutant also met his end under Zhang Hao's armor-piercing bullet.

After dealing with those people, Zhang Hao observed the situation and, after confirming that no one had attacked or harmed him, turned to look at Shen Lan and his group.

Under the pursuit of Deep Blue and his group, Roy finally found a safe environment to provide assistance. At this moment, he was quickly digging out those who could be rescued from the ruins at the gate, giving them a shot of steroids to keep them alive before setting them aside. He then turned to continue searching for those who still had a chance of survival.

Unfortunately, many of those trapped under the stones were elderly people. Given their advanced age and frail health, many of them couldn't withstand the impact of the stones. Roy also found a few children hiding in a corner, but fortunately, they were small and managed to hide quickly when the collapse occurred, so they were mostly unharmed.

After moving all the injured from the collapsed area to safety, Roy hurriedly ran to the car to get the emergency first aid kit he had prepared earlier, and also asked a few children who were still able to move to run and find the surgical kit from their village.

So Roy kept a watchful eye on his surroundings while quickly bandaging the wounds of the injured. The situation was urgent, and to be honest, he didn't know how many of these elderly people would make it to tomorrow. But as a doctor, he had to do everything he could.

While Roy was busy, Said and the others quickly chased after Amara, who was looking back to check the situation. When Amara looked back, he saw the red mask that terrified them all.

“Said? What’s he doing here? Has my whereabouts been exposed? Or has he also set his sights on this territory?”

Amara considered countless possibilities in his mind, but he never expected that Said was just here on vacation and would encounter this on his very first night.

After quickly closing the distance, Said took out his crossbow and fired a flaming bolt, blocking Amara and the others' path.

Upon seeing this, Red Wolf quickly took out his hand cannon to suppress the enemy with firepower. For a moment, Amara and the others were forced behind a house, where only a line of fire was visible. The two sides were stuck there for a while.

"Do you still have any hand cannons? Three more shots and they'll be wiped out."

Said looked at the red wolf behind him and asked.

"That's all, I've used them all. Where's your fire arrow?"

"There aren't any left, I only brought one with me."

Thus, a tug-of-war ensued between them.

Chapter 67 Clearing the Field

Meanwhile, Amara anxiously looked at the four remaining soldiers beside him and hurriedly asked:

"Where's the explosives? Do you have any more explosives? If you have explosives, we can evacuate quickly. You, you, who among you is left?"

To his despair, the soldiers all shook their heads.

"Captain, didn't you say before that it was just a simple massacre of the village, and that it was full of elderly people and stuff, so we only brought the explosives to create chaos?"

"Damn it, why is Said here? Run! We have to run. There's only one way to improve our chances of survival now. The five of us will split up and run. Whoever gets caught is out of luck."

The moment Amara saw Said, even the thought of resistance vanished. Back when he was in Asara's guard, there was a saying about Said: without a large army or weapons capable of large-scale attacks, encountering Said meant only one fate: death.

After Amara finished speaking, he pretended to fire two shots at the location of Said and Red Wolf. Before his men could react, he quickly retreated. He had put his suicide attempt out of his mind. He didn't care about going to hell now. His parents certainly wouldn't want him to go to hell like this. That's right, he wanted to live. He didn't want to die!

All the mental preparation he had done in the dormitory vanished at this moment. He just wanted to run back to the base as quickly as possible and hide behind Lord Hamk's tank. Fear made his adrenaline surge, and the noise he made during his retreat was heard by Said.

"It looks like they're about to leave, what do you say?"

Red Wolf didn't speak, but silently adjusted his exoskeleton before shouting:

"Exoskeleton activated, charge!"

He then slid straight to the corner where Amara and the others had been. After seeing their captain run away without looking back, the soldiers, having lost their leader, hurriedly fled in all directions, completely unaware that Red Wolf had already slid behind them.

“Said, I saw another person running towards the bushes. Deep Blue and I will handle these, and you can take care of the one further away.”

After responding, Sayed rolled into the bushes and, after observing Amara's escape route, quickly gave chase.

Red Wolf took advantage of the fact that the group's backs were exposed when they fled, and opened fire. One lucky guy saw his three companions being killed and quickly turned and ran into an alley.

After running around the village for half a day, the soldier quietly leaned against a wall, panting and trying to recover his strength.

"Ha~ha~, they didn't catch up? Oh, I'm exhausted. I need to hurry back and report to Lord Hamk. This village has been occupied by Said. Damn it, it seems the adjutant's team is all dead."

Just as he was about to sneak over the wall and escape, a grappling hook struck his clothes with pinpoint accuracy.

The soldier looked back in despair and saw the monster with the shield preparing to pull him back.

"No! No! I haven't experienced the good life yet. I'm still so young. I don't want to die. Please, spare me."

Unfortunately, Deep Blue had no interest in listening to his nonsense. She grabbed him and lifted him up with one hand like a chick, then asked:

"Who is your leader? Why are you invading this place and harming the innocent people here?"

Seeing the burly man with the shield staring intently at him, the soldier was terrified, but his strong will to survive still made him speak:

"I'll tell you everything, but after I've told you, could you spare my life? I... I was forced into this!"

Deep blue stared at him coldly, then slowly nodded.

The soldier was overjoyed and confessed everything about Hamk, his motives, and even revealed details about Amara and the adjutant.

"Um, that's all I know. Can I leave now?"

Deep Blue ignored him and turned to leave. The soldier excitedly prepared to turn and leave as well, but with a "bang," he collapsed to the ground with a joyful look in his eyes.

The red wolf in the corner came out and followed the dark blue wolf in front.

"We've basically eliminated the threat here. Now we just need to wait and see what happens on Said's side. Let's go to the square and check on the people here."

The perspective shifts to Said, who is still able to move quickly through the dark thicket. After a short while, he notices Amara, who is making stumbling noises in the jungle.

When Amara saw Said catching up from behind, he hurriedly pulled out his gun and fired wildly behind him. However, this not only failed to hit Said, but also revealed his exact location.

When Said saw that the man was fleeing in the direction of Ouroboros neighborhood, he immediately realized that this man was one of Hamk's men. He recalled the tragic state of his village back then, and tonight he was experiencing something similar again. But thankfully, this time, he was here! He had prevented this tragedy from happening.

Said had originally intended to spare the man's life to extract information, but upon learning that he was one of Hamk's men, Said immediately decided to kill him. He took out the Crimson Blade and pounced on Amara with a burst of speed.

"No! Don't kill me! I'm just a soldier following Hamk's orders. I didn't want to do this either. They're my comrades too! I'll tell you everything I know, please don't kill me!"

Looking at the useless and pathetic person beneath him, Said felt that this person was so similar to Hamk, their ways of betraying their companions were exactly the same.

"Hamke, look at the soldiers you've brought, hehehe. Don't worry, he'll be here to join you soon too."

"Wait, I'm telling the truth. I really didn't want to do this operation. I even sent someone here to tip them off so they could escape, but... but..."

"But what you are doing now is exactly what a scumbag like Hamk would do. The moment you attacked the people of Asara, even though most of the villagers were unarmed old people, you, ha! You are nothing but a cowardly, selfish, hypocritical beast."

After saying this, Said waved the Crimson Sky sword in his hand. Amara wanted to say something but found that he could no longer speak. He stared at Said with resentment until he breathed his last.

"Hypocritical, just as hypocritical as Hamk. What 'for the king, for the sake of the royal family'? Damn it, it's all just an excuse. This kind of parasite on the country must be punished with the cruelest punishment. You've been let off easy this time."

Said sheathed his claw knife, glanced deeply in the direction of the Ouroboros district, picked up Amara's body, and hurried back to the village.
