Guerilla Warfare: Part 2

Wearing a yellow plate armor uniform? Check. Act as an ordinary grunt? Maybe. Dealing the enemies with fair and square methods? Hell Nah.

The valley was actually very narrow, there were only around 100 meters between the hills that contain the valley. Though the main roads where the convoy usually passing through were very visible from up in the hill. Upon the hills was small forestry with multiple trees that proved to be a good hiding spot. Meanwhile, Gerald was placing booby traps such as mines and explosives on the road. Rosa was observing for hostile from the top of the hills and all of them were communicating through a radio headset.

Gerald: "Rosa, are you sure this ambush plan will work?"

Rosa: "Are you doubting my skill as a commander?"

Gerald: "No, I mean, will they take another route? Anyone will know that this is an ambush point."

Rosa: "Of course this is an ambush point, but this is also the only place where you can enter the central region without traversing through the hills first. This is the most dangerous road, but this is also the most efficient location."

Gerald: "Fair enough."

He put an explosive charge in the ground below him and covered it with dirt with the help of Laura's magic, "I'm done with this spot. Watch your step ok, " Gerald said before Laura used levitation magic to move the dirt to the hole that was covering the explosives.

Rosa was digging a sniping post in the form of a small trench on every hill along the road. She built it for Laura and Gerald because of their role as long-range support for her attack. The plan was to intercept the convoy by exploding them in the middle of the valley and made an artificial landslide and cut the main supply lines between the central region and the south.

Laura: "Rosa, do you see any scout from the radicals in the port?"

Rosa: "Negative. There is no visual on anyone besides you and me."

Laura: "Laura out."

What they were doing was basically breaking down the roads so the convoy would move slow enough and the explosive would be hitting the convoy precisely. They placed the explosives at the place where a landslide would mostly occur.

"So, how will this works?" Laura asked.

"The convoy will move to this spot," he pointed his hands at a minefield. "And them boom boom boom and boom. Rosa would come in and charged with her blades and killing all the knights while we're picking off any marksmen, musket men, or mages on the back. After we kill them all, we blow this place up and close this road."

"Sounds good," Laura said as she places the last claymore on the road.

The road had many digging spots on it. The gravel had been replaced by muddy dirt that would certainly trap any carriage that tried to cross that road. Overall, the ambush spot was perfect, they just had to plan the offensive plan on the convoy.

They rendezvoused in the middle of that road and Rosa was looking at Gerald's works and she discussed the plan with him. She asked about what they would do and what was plan B. Gerald asked on what the convoy would be and the impact that it would produce if they attacked it.

"I don't know what kind of tech you use, but I don't care either if it will get the job done. If this plan works, the radicals supply lines will only be available from the sea which was not very reliable due to the fact that you need an ice breaker to get to Augary by sea. Overall, a very good result," Rosa said as she monitored the works that Laura and Gerald had done.

He started by pointing his hands on a spot, "Ok, so you will stand right here. We hope that the convoy will stop or at the very least, fight you. Then, I will commence the boom boom. Laura and I will kill any hostiles that are far from the reach of your sword. Don't worry, everyone will return from this place alive," Gerald said.

"Roger that, I got that loud and clear. So, you will explode the thing and I will go clang clang clang after the boom boom boom and I run? Like that?" Rosa asked for a confirmation.

"Yup, like that. Could you give me an idea of how the convoy will be?" Gerald asked for her idea.

"Hmm, presumably 70 guards. 6 of them must be a mage, 16 of them could be a musket man, 17 of them must be a knight while the others could be an Archer or an ordinary grunt," Rosa said.

"So basically, we are hitting a heavily guarded convoy. Sounds great, sounds like a suicide too," Laura said.

"Days are getting darker. Rosa, I think this should be useful for you," he said as he gave Rosa a pair of NVG with a strap.

"What's this?" She asked as Gerald helped her to put it in her head.

"Night vision goggles, I will teach you how to use it later. Let's eat," he said and he walked away from that narrow road as the day was getting darker.

Before Laura walked in the opposite direction, she gave her goodbye, "Ok, I will be heading for my nest. Best of luck you two."

She went running to the hill on the Northside while we walked to the hill on the south side. She packed an MRE with her so food shouldn't be an issue for them.

They left for a small bush on the hillside, it was the place where Gerald stashed his DMR and his SMG. The skies had turned black and they no longer can see anything. He flipped Rosa's NVG and switched a knob on the goggles.

"Wow, such brightness," she said as she was almost blinded by Laura's mischief, an infrared light that was shined in their direction. It was invisible in Gerald's eyes but in Rosa's? Not so much.

Laura stopped her demeanor and they had dinner after that. The dinner was very simple, a calory bar and that's it. After that, Rosa went downhill again as she waited for the convoy in the bushes. Laura and Gerald were observing the roads using their scopes.

They were looking for any visible light sources, torches, magical lantern, anything that resembled a convoy would be marked immediately with an infrared laser marker.

Laura: "Got any visual on the convoy?"

Laura: "Negative. As dark as before."

They waited for hours in their own bushes. Maybe around 4 hours from that, they finally had a visual on the convoy.

Gerald: "I see them. 9 O'clock, can you see them, Laura?"

Laura: "Yes I can spot em. I mark the bomb location with a laser pointer."

Gerald: "Codename callsign. Alpha echo Delta, ok?"

Rosa: "Roger that Delta."

The convoy moved at a very slow speed due to the broken road conditions and the darkness that the road had. There were six carriages, once the third carriage hit the laser. Gerald would press the detonator.

Alpha: "here they come."

Echo: "Press the detonator sir."

Delta: "Roger that."

Boom boom boom boom, four big explosions were exploding on top of the convoy. A carriage was launched to the sky due to the massive amount of energy of the explosion. The guards became wounded simultaneously. Though, some of them were unscathed.

A Battle cry could be heard from the bushes, it was Rosa who was holding a blue-colored sword. It was the HF sword.

Echo: "Looks like we're going to be busy sir."

Delta: "... Let's go and kill the damn bastards."
