80: Killing and Ending at Night
Outside the secret passage's exit, Glenn and the others were waiting for news from Fang Yun's group.
Under the already dim sky, Glenn looked at the pitch-black secret passage, listening carefully to the sounds coming from inside.
"It's been 3 minutes since they sent the message back, they should be coming out soon."
Just as Glenn was thinking to himself, suddenly, he heard a faint sound of footsteps from the secret passage, and at the same time, a bright light instantly burst out from around the corner of the passage.
Accompanied by increasingly clear footsteps and brighter light, the figures of Fang Yun and the other three finally emerged from around the corner of the secret passage.
The members of the First Assault Squad standing next to Glenn smiled when they saw the figures of the four.
Squad Member A (smiling): "It seems the mission to pursue the leader of the 'Black Hand' settlement was very successful."
Squad Member B (waving his arm): "Yo. You're back."
After the four of them came out of the secret passage, Glenn, with a hint of concern on his face, quickly walked up to Fang Yun and asked:
"Fang Yun, did you encounter any danger?"
"The leader of the 'Black Hand' settlement, has he been killed by you?"
The reason Glenn didn't ask Valentine and the other two was because Fang Yun was the leader of this operation.
After hearing Glenn's questions, Fang Yun smiled slightly, answering calmly and firmly:
"Don't worry, Glenn. With me here, no trap can harm Valentine and the others."
"The four of us kept walking deeper into the secret passage, and in the secret room at the very end, we encountered San'er, the leader of the 'Black Hand' settlement, who was about to escape."
"Then, a battle immediately broke out between us and San'er."
"Although San'er's strength... was very strong, in the end, he was still killed by us."
When mentioning San'er's "very strong strength," Fang Yun's mouth couldn't help but curve upwards slightly, then quickly returned to normal.
Glenn raised an eyebrow slightly and nodded.
"I also didn't hear any explosions coming from the secret passage just now."
"It's fine if he's killed. Since San'er was about to escape, there really wasn't time to capture him alive."
Speaking of this, Glenn paused briefly.
"Since San'er's matter has been dealt with, it's time to turn back and rendezvous with the Second Attack Squad."
Hearing Glenn's words, Fang Yun nodded.
"I have no objection, you're right."
Glenn gave Fang Yun an "OK" gesture, then turned and said to the other members of the squad:
"The last section of Aureole Valley has been cleared by us."
"Next, we will clear out the 'Nightwalker stragglers' who are hiding while returning."
"Tribesmen, cheer up. This is the final battle."
The members of the First Assault Squad, including Valentine and the other two, responded loudly after hearing Glenn's words:
"OK!"
"No problem!"
"Alright! The battle is finally ending!"
After shouting, everyone immediately began to act.
As Fang Yun walked towards thunder, he looked up and gazed in the direction he had come from.
"This battle has finally reached its final moment, let me bury the entire 'Black Hand' settlement."
The roar of the engine sounded as usual.
The First Assault Squad began to return along the valley path, retracing their steps.
The vehicles lined up in a neat formation.
Because Fang Yun drove at the back when they came, he was at the front of the convoy when returning.
The sound of wind and sand in the valley still echoed in the ears of the Wanderers.
Under the cover of the dim night, the rustling sound gave a feeling that was both cold and chilling.
The convoy drove over the corpses of Nightwalkers lying on the ground, and after driving for a distance, finally successfully rendezvoused with the Second Attack Squad stationed at the original location.
The members of the Second Attack Squad dutifully guarded the material warehouse, ammunition point, defensive fortifications, and other buildings.
Seeing the First Assault Squad return, they greeted the members of the First Squad in relaxed tones.
"Glenn, how did it go over there? Was the leader of the 'Black Hand' settlement killed?"
"Please go and rendezvous with the other mobile personnel and eliminate the last remaining Nightwalkers who are still resisting."
Glenn and the others lowered their windows and responded loudly:
"All the Nightwalkers on our side have been dealt with."
"Be careful, don't get ambushed by the Nightwalkers."
"Oh, aye. Glenn. Don't worry, we'll be careful."
The voices of the Second Attack Squad members revealed a hint of confidence.
γThe remaining Nightwalkers still want to ambush us? Impossible! Absolutely impossible!γ
γKeep listening to music, keep guarding. (Laughs)γ
Through the in-team communication channel, Glenn informed Karl about the actions of Fang Yun and the others.
Although Karl knew more, and more accurate, information than Glenn, the information he held obviously couldn't be revealed to Glenn before the traitor was captured and judged.
It wasn't that Karl didn't trust Glenn, which is why he didn't tell him the real intelligence.
On the contrary, it was precisely because Karl trusted Glenn greatly and knew his character very well that he didn't tell him the real intelligence.
If Glenn knew that "Kotou is a traitor to the Buckle Family," he might not be able to restrain his anger and would go directly to settle the score with Kotou.
Karl said to Glenn:
"I already know about it. Now come and rendezvous with me, and then we'll go together to eliminate all the remaining Nightwalkers."
Glenn naturally had no objection.
"OK, we'll be there right away."
...
Time came to 7:30 PM.
The First Assault Squad successfully rendezvoused with Karl and the few people he led.
Afterwards, everyone began to jointly launch a devastating strike against the remaining Nightwalkers in the valley.
With the addition of marksmen, the operation to eliminate the Nightwalkers became exceptionally smooth.
Whether it was Fang Yun, Valentine, or anyone else, as long as a Nightwalker was found, they almost always only needed to fire one shot to accurately hit its vital point and kill it.
The difficulty in eliminating Nightwalkers mainly lay in finding where they were hiding.
With sufficient manpower, this difficulty was no longer a difficulty.
Although the Nightwalkers were still putting up a desperate struggle, under the combined attack of everyone, they could only gradually lose their ability to resist.
Fang Yun pulled the trigger, killing a Nightwalker, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.
"The satisfaction of a crushing victory lies in the crushing."
"Can't you damned Nightwalkers just stand still and let me shoot you dead? Stop moving around!"
"What? You say you were forced to join the Nightwalkers, and you're actually a good person?"
"Kid, go get your head checked at the hospital. Are you taking me for a fool, or are you taking me for a fool?"
"I'm too lazy to reason with you, just die for me!"
Although he was dissatisfied with the Nightwalkers scurrying around, Fang Yun still conscientiously cleared these impurities from the world.
After a period of fighting, the Nightwalkers in Aureole Valley were finally all eliminated by Fang Yun's group.
After killing the last Nightwalker, everyone searched for a long time but couldn't find any other living Nightwalker.
Until Karl spoke:
"Tribesmen, we have completely eliminated the 'Black Hand' settlement!"
"Cheer freely! The revenge operation ends with our victory!"
Karl's words were transmitted through the in-team communication channel to the ears of every member of the Buckle Family.
Instantly, cheers erupted in the communication channel and in reality:
"Wuhu! Taking off!"
"Great! We finally smashed them all!"
"No casualties in this operation, that's a really good thing!"
