Chapter 56 Infiltrating The Enemy Base
Legolas turned to face his faction members. "This hideout is divided into 4 levels, the upper floor where we are now is mostly filled with guards".
"The last 2 floors are of no concern to us since they mostly serve as warehouses for food and weapons, the 2nd floor will be our main focus".
"The 2nd floor is where prisoners are kept until they are indoctrinated".
"The Clown Society is a vicious organization who are trying to change the world. They don\'t just kidnap people; they try to brainwash the people to abandon their original beliefs and change their belief system to become a psychopath".
"I believe that they\'re already in the process of brainwashing them".
"We need to be fast if we are to rescue a still sane Prince Christensen".
All 3 players nodded vigorously to show that they understood.
"What is our job faction leader? We\'ll do our best to fulfill it and rescue the prince!" Horny Assassin was the first to declare his loyalty loudly, prompting Legolas to smack him on the head.
"Shhhh! Lower your voice, we\'re in enemy territory already".
"Oh, my bad, we\'re in enemy territory…" Horny Assassin repeated as he rubbed the part of his head that was just smacked.
"What weapons do you have?" Legolas asked the trio.
Blue River brought out a short silver sword while Horny Assassin brought out the common grade dagger that he won from Legolas through a mission.
Legolas instinctively ignored the dagger and focused on the sword.
-----
[Equipment: Basic Alloy Sword]
[Quality: Common]
>Attack: 38-46
>Defense: 10
>Durability: 120/120
[Remark: A common sword with no special abilities.]
----
Legolas saw exactly what he expected of the sword, then he turned to face Ghost Sentry. "You don\'t have any weapon?"
"No, not yet".
"Ok, for this mission, I will temporarily rent my weapons to you 3".
As he spoke, Legolas brought out a pair of automatic pistols, a long alloy spear, and a pair of metal boxing gloves. All 3 weapons were of the common grade and more or less had similar stats to Blue River\'s mission.
-----
Alert! 3 items have been placed for rent in the faction shop!
[Shop: G-96 Automatic Pistols, Basic Alloy Spear, Basic Metal Boxing Gloves!]
[Rentage Price: 1000 Experience Points.]
----
All 3 players\' eyes widened at the rentage price. 1000 Experience points was a lot for new players like them, but having been spoiled by Legolas for the past few days, they didn\'t think too much into it and paid.
Ghost Sentry took the alloy spear, Horny Assassin took the pair of metal boxing gloves, while Blue River attracted by it dished his sword and took the pistols.
Legolas smiled. Even in this moment, his eyes were still sharp and eager to make additional profit and what best way than from milking his faction members.
Once they were equipped, Legolas finally led them in.
"Follow my lead, do not make a sound, and stay close".
"Also, Blue River, do not make use of your pistols until I give the signal".
Blue River was disappointed but he still nodded. "Yes, faction leader".
With that, they infiltrated deeper into the first floor of the swordmaster hideout. To go down to the 2nd floor, they needed to pass through a staircase in the cave that was heavily guarded by psychopaths.
They went through the corridor before arriving at an open expanse in the cave that was occupied by guards.
Legolas ordered them to wait until 2 guards came their way.
With his martial artist passive ability active, Legolas was too much for these 2 psychopaths as he stealthily knocked them out without a sound.
He wore one of their uniforms and disguised as a guard, Ghost Sentry wore the other, then they waited. On noticing that the 2 guards didn\'t return despite some time already, 2 more guards came to check up on them.
Legolas pounced on them again and knocked them out.
With this, all 4 of them were disguised as psychopaths. They followed Legolas\'s lead as they carefreely walked into the expanse where there were dozens of enemies walking around.
Seeing the red icon above everyone of the guards that surrounded them, the 3 players felt goosebumps creeping down their skin.
Horny Assassin shivered slightly from the thrill even as he video recorded.
In their disguise, they were not caught until they went into the tiny corridor that led into the staircase that led down to the 2nd floor of the hideout.
"Hey, what are you guys doing here?"
"No one is allowed here!"
Horny Assassin was startled but his instincts took over. "Oh…, really? Here...? What\'s here? What are we even doing here?"
"Which team are you from?" The leader of the guards asked in a fierce tone.
Horny Assassin continued without a care of the world. "Oh, my team? Did you watch the recent Manchester united match?"
"Oh, f*cking Christ, Ronaldo finally scored! Can you believe it?"
The guards were startled as they looked on in confusion, they had no freaking idea what this stupid guard was blabbering on about.
In their confusion, Legolas already secretly closed the soundproof door that led into the corridor. Once he closed it, he gave the signal.
Blue River got the signal as he aimed and instantly pulled the trigger. The automatic pistol roared as bullets flew out of its muzzle like horizontally drizzling rain, but the sound could not escape due to the soundproof door.
"Ahhh…., enemies!"
More than 5 psychopaths died to the automatic pistol\'s attack, but before the others could escape, Ghost Sentry and Legolas already surrounded them.
In less than a minute, they killed all the guards.
Horny Assassin was left standing, stunned. "What just happened?
Legolas ignored him. "Follow me!"
"Yes, faction leader".
With all the guards disposed, they easily climbed the stairs down to the 2nd floor. As he did all this, Legolas heaved a sigh of relief as a thought came to him. \'I\'m glad the Mechanic Class is not in Planet Darvis man\'.
Mechanics and technology were the bane of infiltration missions like this.
On arriving at the 2nd floor, they instantly noticed the lesser number of guards that were here.
There were lesser guards, and they were busier since they were tasked with watching different prisons where brainwashing sessions took place.
Disguised as guards already, they easily blended in and waited for their time while passively searching for the prison where Prince Christensen was held.
They finally found the prince after some minutes, and the surprising fact was that Legolas found someone else here, Quinn Baron.
At this moment, 3 men cloth in white where in the prison room working on the prisoners. The prisoners were tied to beds and restrained, while objects were used to pry their eyes open by the men in white.
With their eyes open, they were exposed to bright rainbow-colored light that kept on moving at high velocities. By now, all the prisoners were already muddle-headed from this brainwashing technique that was being used on them.
The men in white were in the brainwashing session already.
"You have no name".
"You are all psychopaths of the Clown Society".
"You answer only to the Clown".
"Your mission is to fight for a world where there is no order…"
As the session continued, the time for a guard shift finally came. Legolas and his faction members were up, they already knocked out the original shift guards.
Once they changed the shift and they entered the prison room, Legolas took one of the pistols and went closer before pointing it at the 3 men in white at a blind spot that the guards outside could not see into the transparent prison room.
"Do not move, behave naturally".
"Do everything that I say".
"If you disobey, you die".
"If you scream, a bullet would go through your skull and you would be dead in seconds, I promise".
The 3 men in white froze.
