Supreme Mars

Chapter 1226 Seizing the Fort Barbette

By this time it was completely dark, and Leo immediately said to Red Rose, "Come on, let's go over

there first, hide at the foot of the wall and see what happens."

"Okay!"

Red Rose answered, then she carried her sniper rifle and followed behind Leo, creeping forward.

With his memory of the road, Leo quickly and smoothly led Red Rose to under the corner of the wall.

Fortunately, they did not encounter any snipers on this stretch of road.

Harriet took out her night-vision binoculars and she brightened the night-vision luminance.

When she saw that Leo and Red Rose were safely under the wall, she let out a sigh of relief and said,

"Julia, they have reached the foot of the wall."

Julia also breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good! We can't see in this dark night, and we can't help."

Harriet sighed and said, "There's nothing we can do, we'll just have to wait."

At that moment it began to rain, the sky remained free of thunder and lightning, and soon it became a

downpour.

The wind was howling and the rain poured down.

Leo and Red Rose saw their chance and they both quickly took the Flying Iron Claw from their backs

and threw it at the wall.

They tugged on the rope and found that the flying claw hooks gripped the edge of the wall, and the two

of them quickly climbed towards the wall.

As it was raining heavily and the rope was slippery with soaking water, their climb up the wall was

much too slow.

But it was not difficult for Leo and Red Rose's superb skills. They used all their limbs, using their hands

to rewind the rope with each climb, stomping hard on the wall with both feet, climbing again, and

rewinding the rope with their hands again.

Soon, they finally climbed to the edge of the wall, and then grabbed the edge of the corner with one

hand, and with a thwarted effort at the waist, they rolled over and into the wall.

The two men quickly pulled their guns from their backs, their hearts pounding and panting hard.

The rain drenched their faces, indistinguishable between rain and sweat.

Leo knew that about twenty metres to his right was the upper turret, with a small wooden hut by it.

According to Leo's judgement, the gunners should all be living in it, and the shells must have been

placed inside the hut.

As it was raining too hard outside, the gunner would not come out to look out at this time.

So Leo and Red Rose seized the opportunity and they crept forward in the heavy rain in order to get to

the hut safely in the first place.

In a moment they reached the side of the hut, and then they leaned close to it.

Leo was ready to kick open the wooden door on the small house.

However, they both knew that it was dangerous to do so, for fear that when the door was kicked open,

the bullets inside would come in a frenzy.

Leo was hesitant, and if there were windows, Leo would have thrown a grenade into the hut to quickly

blow them up.

Leo and Red Rose were at a loss for a moment, so they had to stick to the wooden wall and wait

patiently.

But they were also standing in an extremely safe position, all the buildings under the wall had their

backs to them and no view.

Even if there were snipers, there would be no way to shoot at them both.

The heavy rain, however, soon stopped and the dark clouds in the sky immediately dispersed and the

moonlight shone again.

On the hillock, Harriet and Julia were drenched by the heavy rain.

They had stood in the rain, as the ground was covered in water and sludge, but now that the rain had

stopped, they both immediately lay down and took up their sniper rifles.

Harriet picked up her binoculars again and watched. When she saw Leo and Red Rose standing safely

by the cabin, she said happily to Julia, "They have arrived safely and are preparing to attack the people

in the cabin."

Julia, who also had her sniper rifle, also saw Leo and Red Rose through the magnifying glass on her

rifle and said, "Why haven't they done anything yet? It's almost dawn."

Red Rose laughed, "They are waiting for the people in the cabin to come out and pee."

Sure enough, the door creaked open and a stout young man emerged from inside, clearly going to pee.

At that moment, Leo had his knife in his hand, so he pounced on him, covering the strong man's mouth

with his left hand and slashing his neck with his Swiss Army knife.

This cut was so hard that two thirds of the man's neck was cut off.

The blood gushed out from his neck like a tidal wave, and then Leo put his upper body gently on the

floor so as not to make a sound and attract the attention of the people inside.

Presumably the manic sound of the strong man getting up to go to the toilet also caused others to go to

the toilet, so two more people came out, one after the other.

However, at this time, their lights came on.

As Leo had just put the body away, the two men came out. Leo was about to pounce on them.

Two shots rang out.

The two pirates who came out were shot by Harriet and Julia who were in the distance.

Then, two windows on the second floor of the office fired bullets at Harriet and Julia at the same time.

This obviously did not need their help, Leo thought. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

Immediately, Leo grabbed a dead body, he clamped his left hand around his neck, holding a gun in his

right hand, and rushed into the hut.

He fired a volley of shots into the interior, killing the other two gunners on the bed.

The sound of gunfire broke the quiet sky.

In a building in front of them, a rapid barrage of bullets was fired into the hut.

They realised that something was seriously wrong with the fort barbette and opened fire, trying to warn

Leo and Red Rose not to move their cannon.

Leo inside the room sneered and said to Red Rose, "A bunch of ants still want to shoot to warn us?"

When Red Rose saw that there were many slugs from the cannon in the box, she asked, "Mr. Cohen,

shall we fire right away?"

Leo picked up the gunner's two submachine guns and two more cartridges and laughed, "The fort

barbette is occupied by us, so what's the hurry? Let's play with them first."

Red Rose asked suspiciously, "What if so many clones come out? I'm rather worried about that."

Leo said with a clam face, "Impossible! Didn't you hear what Julia said? They are all lying in the

freezer, which means they haven't got it right yet, if they did, they would have come out and fight with

us long ago."

"Oh."

Immediately, the two men walked out of the hut, both got down on the ground and climbed over

towards the city wall.

Soon they arrived, raised their guns out, aiming at the rows of houses below.

But at this point, the sound of gunfire could no longer be heard.

Harriet and Julia were pinned down by the snipers on the office building.

Luckily, the office building and the fort barbette were on the same side and the office building had no

windows.

Therefore the snipers could not hurt the two of them, and Leo could do nothing.
