Special Forces Sector IX (Chapter 22)

Ten men in black gear, with heavy assault rifles walked in a tight formation inside the narrow cave. Patches on their left shoulder with a big numbers and letters in red that read, "Sector IX".The man in the front, his patch read "Lars", he continued to view his surroundings and pointed his gun with the flashlight equipped to check what was ahead in the dark.

"Captain Lars sir, how much further do you think we are from the boss?" -Cpl. Soldier

"We should be close, we eliminated over seven groups of goblins." -Cpt. Lars

As they continued walking the path, they stumbled across the door that led to the final room. He signaled everyone to stop by raising a fist in the air. He pulled out his status menu to quickly distribute his points before entering the boss fight.

He closed his menu and opened the door, upon entering, dozens of figures appeared in front of them. Without hesitation and one order from Cpt. Lars, hundreds of bullets flew towards the goblins. After a few minutes, only the boss remained, activating its final ability repelling most of the bullets.

"Plan B everyone, follow my lead" Cpt. Lars

Cpt. Lars using his Agility to his advantage and strength to leap high above over the goblins head and hopped on top piercing one of its eyes with a dagger he took out. His men closing the gap between them and the boss, and took out a device and once they finally set it on the ground, they took a few steps back and Cpt. Lars jumped away from the goblin. Within a few seconds and a press of a button, electricity flew between the device and the monster, and brought it to the ground. Cpt. Lars got closer and took out a Desert Eagle from his holster and pointed it towards the goblins head only to pull the trigger.

After the body flopped to the ground, Cpt. Lars took out a cigar and lit it. As he was taking puffs and finally relaxing he looked to his squad members cleaning up the mess and collecting all the items.

"Okay boys, wrap it up, lets get out of here"-Cpt. Lars

They exited the portal expecting to get the compliments on taking out another portal, but once they exited something seemed off. There were supposed to be the six soldiers keeping watch on the perimeter. Everyone dropped the loot and quickly got in formation, bringing up their weapons having the sights in their vision. As they walked closer to the perimeters gate that was crushed open, they found the first body of a dead soldier.

"Fuck… Sir? Orders?"-Sgt. Soldier

"Shhhhh��� just watch your surroundings, we are not alone" -Cpt. Lars

As they kept walking around, they finally found the rest of the bodies spread throughout the ground near the broken gate, all torn into pieces. But on top of one of the dead bodies was a red skinned monster on top of him, eating the arm that was ripped off from the body. He looked up at the soldiers and smiled, taking out a strange weapon from his back, and bringing his other hand in the air making signals. A few seconds after, a few other red skin monsters came from the sky, totaling about a dozen. Cpt. Lars used the identification feature of the system to figure out the monster ID, only to turn his face pale and in horror.

"Im…po..ssib…le {High Royal Hobgoblin C+}{High Royal Hobgoblin Guards C}... FIREEEEEEE" Cpt. Lars

With the order given, bullets once again started flying, but the monsters had high reaction speed and easily dodge the trajectories of the bullets, going into cover. Some of them jumped high behind them, turning the formation of the soldiers into a circle.

"Reloading", "Fuck!!!", "How are we supposed to fight these things?" -Soldiers

A few minutes passed and all of the soldiers but one were on the ground cut into pieces. The heads of the fallen soldiers with tears rolling from their eyes, the terrified look on every single one of them torn apart from their torsos. Cpt. Lars, the last man standing was able to take out one of the bodyguards with the sacrifice of all of his fellow soldiers.

"Fuckkk… Fuckkkkk… this can't be, I was just starting to enjoy this shit" -Cpt. Lars

The High Royal Hobgoblin walked closer to the Captain with a smile on his face. Lars brought up the Desert Eagle and pulled the trigger, only for the pullet to be cut in half with the monster's sword. He pulled the trigger once again, but he had run out of ammo, he took out his dagger and rushed the Royal.

"Ahhhhhh I am taking you down with me!!!!!"- Cpt. Lars

But within a few seconds, the Royal disappeared from his sights, Lars stopped in his tracks and looked around. He began to pant harder and harder, blood and sweat rolling down his body. He heard a branch snap and he quickly turned around, only to have a sword pierce through his armor and heart. His throat was grabbed by the Royal and he was brought up to the air, he looked at the monster below him laughing and that is when with his final moments he was shocked.

"Foolish creatures… humans correct?"—High Royal Hobgoblin C+

"Yes your highness, humans"—High Royal Hobgoblin Guard C

"You guys are soo weak that its laughable, it's a shame you killed one of my men, he was the weakest however just promoted to be one of my guards. What a disappointment he was… anyways, thank you for the meal human."—High Royal Hobgoblin C+

With only one of his eyes barely managing to stay open, he saw that he was brought back to the ground and the mouth of the royal closing in on his face.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"—Cpt. Lars
