Chapter :-87 Changes (Part-2)

*Choo!*

Henrik and the Hydra squad were reclining in the engine compartment of the steam-powered train, constantly looking around to look out for any approaching life signatures and smoke em.

The classic sound of the steam-powered train made Henrik remember the good old days, things were so chaotic back then whereas now, after working for so many centuries peace was truly attained. Though Henrik was getting a feeling that this peace was the calm before the storm.

The overall changes in the atmosphere were becoming more and more observant by the day while the temperature around the Asia continent had started to drop little by little.

The Hydra squad headed by Henrik were current riding on a steam-engined train, an international railway connecting the different European countries with each other.

After tension between the different European countries grew in the second world war, the railway lines were sealed off so that the enemies couldn't use them to send reinforcement or retreat back safely.

Therefore the steam-engined trains weren't upgraded to the next level, rather they were abandoned and placed aside.

After the war concluded, the railway lines were kept sealed and unused but the threat of terrorists stealing the materials which were required for [Ozone magic activation] left the European Union of Magic with no choice but to secretly transport the materials using the abandoned railway lines.

The materials were made in Russia and were on their way to Belgium from where the materials would be shipped to England under the supervision of Belgium government and help from England Royal fleet, in case the shipments were attacked on the way.

Henrik and Hydra squad had to accomplish two missions, one from the [European federation] to protect the goods whereas the other from the Great Britain government, 7th July 2005; London Bombing by the terrorist group named [Al-Qaeda].

Many died while hundreds were injured by the bombing done by the terrorists in London. Great Britain government asked Japan for help as it was a known fact that Japan, India and Britain were under an alliance.

Even though it wasn't a war, the damage done by the terrorists was too much. The Royal Family, Nifecia Pine the current queen used the Mikaelson medallion to personally request assistance from the Mikaelson family.

Henrik accepted their request for assistance and decided to visit England to take care of the terrorist organization whereas since the Hydra squad had to deliver the goods to England, why not do some pest controlling before returning back to Japan.

"Leader Henrik, do you think that by using these old railway lines we will be able to avoid the terrorists pin-pointing our location?"

A 21-years old Kudou Retsu wearing Special Ops uniform and an advance looking white-framed glass over his noise bridge advanced Henrik who was sitting beside him and seemed to be meditating with his eyes closed.

Retsu held his custom proto-M.A.G within his right hand, wearing combat-gloves. As a young and sly soldier, he was trying to figure out the true reason as of why would the European union of Magic use such unprotected means to transport such high-quality materials?

No matter how he looked at it, he just couldn't understand the reason behind such a strange decision.

Henrik opened his eyes and looked at Retsu through the corner of his eyes before replying in a calm tone.

"I am sure that the terrorists already know the location of the goods."

Hearing Henrik's words Retsu's eyes narrowed as he gripped his gun tightly within his hands while waiting for Henrik to elaborate.

"The materials concerning the Ozone magic were top secret, their very existence is a secret that not many people know about but somehow the terrorist group named [Al-Qaeda] had the knowledge about such a top-secret project."

"This means that there are traitors within the ranks of the [European Union of Magic], they also know this fact this they decided to use these old and abandoned railway lines to transport the goods."

"But why? I understand the reason behind our action being compromised but why still use such unprotected means of transport?"

"Because they are not worried about the materials."

"What?"

"They just want the terrorists to stay away from their populated areas, with me protecting the materials they know that the goods are completely safe thus to avoid the unavoidable fight between us and the terrorists from harming their mainland and people, they chose to lure the terrorists in an abandoned area, where there is nothing other than barren land and cracked earth."

"The terrorists will come to attack the train! They will fail and die! The goods will be delivered to England! And the terrorist group [Al-Qaeda] will cease to exist after I am done with them!"

"Your mission is to stay alive and perform well in the fight! I want to see what you all have learned from my training, try not to die ok?"

"....yes Sir!!!"

"Good..!"

Others shouted their agreement while Retsu sighed before thinking about different plans and battle-tactics which could minimize the lose and maximize the profit.

As sly as he was, he knew that the upcoming battle would by no means be a piece of cake and he would have to be careful and alert all the time.

His primary plan was to cast minute illusions to slowly alter the perception of the enemy and loser their accuracy and hit rate before killing them all with a rather high-level proto-magic that he learned from Henrik during the few months he trained with the Mikaelson.

Retsu had become an expert at using [Sensory-interference magic] and could influence the perception of the brain using his magic.

But Most importantly he was excited to see Henrik in action, he wanted to understand the gap between a normal person and a Mikaelson.

Just how strong the mysterious Mikaelson family truly is?

Is it truly impossible to resist the might of a Mikaelson?

Is it truly impossible to lose since we have the higher ground?

Is Harry's payroll really higher than he expected?
