Chapter 12 - First Engagement

(POV Liam) 

It was our first mission, we were waiting for the enemy's base supplies truck to hijack and sneak into the base. 

While we were preparing ourselves, the comms came to life with a familiar voice saying, "Delta 6 to Alpha 4, Heads up. Our mission might have been compromised! The whole company was patrolling fully alert at the vantage points. Waiting for the order on how to proceed. Over." 

When our sergeant heard this, his expression darkened. He thought and ordered, "Alpha 4 to Delta 6, the mission stays, but the perimeters of the mission have been changed. You are clear to engage the enemy. Lure them out and cause chaos. Over." 

Then he said to us, "Forget about earlier preparation for hijacking. We should start infiltrating by disguising ourselves as a patrol." 

After that, we decided to go to Vantage Point to get German uniforms, and then started walking toward one of the patrol teams on base. 

Hoping that we will encounter them and disguise ourselves as an injured patrol who were attacked by the enemy, while our other team would cause chaos. 

I hope Jon can survive while luring the enemy out of the base. 

(POV: Jon) 

We have already encountered another patrol team from the other vantage point. 

I have put the same traps with stun option and decided to ambush because I don't want the whole company to die suddenly in front of my spotter. 

I was already pissed for being pissed at, so we decided to ambush the company. 

When the enemy triggered the trap at the first vantage point, I got a mental notification that the trap was triggered. 

The whole company crumbled like a toilet paper in water. 

The main mechanism behind the trap was that when triggered, it would release a high-frequency sound wave in an instant, which in return would cause the person in the trap range to have their brain turned to mush. 

We were waiting for the patrol to reach where I had placed the stun trap. 

After some time, the patrol finally reached the traps after being alert and scanning the surroundings. 

My spotter and I planned. I would lure them by attacking them, drawing their attention. When they tried to seek cover from my firing direction, the spotter would open fire from the opposite direction, making the enemy think they were surrounded. 

Meanwhile, I know this suicide mission if I don't use my power, but I couldn't afford to expose my powers until the Age of Heroes starts. 

When the company was stunned, like being hit with a flashbang, I started to pick them apart.

Meanwhile, Time started to slow down, and I could see the trajectory of my bullets in the form of a red line like a laser beam.

The whole duration of the trap was 15 seconds, so I had to do as much damage as I could while the enemies were stunned. 

So I shot from my secondary gun, which was a Carbine, following the lines. It took 15 seconds to wipe out approximately half of the company, which originally consisted of around 125 people, to 60. 

Consequently, the other half of the company snapped back after 15 seconds. Suddenly, one soldier shouted in German, "Ambush!" 

The remaining company scrambled for cover after determining where the fire came, and some of the enemy started returning fire, thinking they had a whole company of enemies attacking them. 

Furthermore, when they return the fire from the firearms created thanks to the tesseract, it uproots the trees with momentum. 

But thanks to Chamber's instinct, I could see the trajectory of enemy projectiles in a blue line, which helped me a lot in dodging the barrage of railguns. 

While waiting for my spotter to do a pincer maneuver, I noticed that the enemy was trying to encircle me. 

Seeing this, I used my telekinesis to embed the card in case I am surrounded. 

Slowly, the enemy tried to surround me from all sides, but I also made them pay the hefty price. 

Then suddenly the spotter did his magic, by taking down at least 12 people, when someone sensible realised that there was also an enemy behind. 

The nazis's commander committed themselves on two fronts, the first front was suppressing fire in my direction, and the other was toward my spotter. 

While I dodged most attacks, taking 1 or 2 enemies down with each exchange but my partner wasn't so lucky. 

When he exchanged fire with enemies, he was shot. If it were a direct hit, he would have been ripped to shreds, but it wasn't a direct hit. Because most of the momentum was absorbed by the tree, which he used as a cover. 

He was knocked out from the blunt trauma, so I apparated to him and cast a disillusionment charm on him to prevent any harm from coming to him. 

After that, a bright smile appeared on my handsome face because now I can use my abilities without anyone knowing. 

(POV: Liam) 

When we arrived at the sniper vantage point, we found the crumpled bodies of enemies. 

The sight sent a chill down our spines because there were no signs of struggle. It was portrayed like there was a being who just snapped his finger, and the enemy just crumbled. 

Then I heard Sergeant's orders, "Get the German uniforms along with their weapons, and search for the survivors to get us legit cover of being the patrol team who was attacked." 

When we searched, there were three who survived, but they were with critical injuries, indicating that they will not last long. 

"They will do," Rodriguez replied. We the whole team doned the nazis uniform except Rodriguez and Anthony because if its a first plan we were executing which was sneaking around and take control of control tower and planting bombs it would been fine. 

But seriously, brown and black guy in the Nazi patrol team anyone dumb enough to know what would happen if they were along us during our try to blend in. 

So the sergeant ordered them to return to our rendezvous point to be sure the plane was there. Otherwise, we would be crawling back through enemy lines to return to our trenches. 

Then suddenly we heard the echoes of the gunshot, it seemed the chaos had begun as ordered.
