21. Sabotage

it was still dark outside, Gareth and a group of soldiers experienced in sabotage had departed the refugee camp.

Each person carrying various kinds of objects that contained strange matter, everyone had a serious expression on their faces not only from having the fate of the entire refugee camp on their soldiers but the items they carried some of them were fragile and they were warned repeatedly not to cause to much shaking.

the vanguard was responsible for clearing the area of guards, and everyone had their tasks including Gareth.

the group convened a few hundred meters away from the bandit camp, everyone was divided into smaller teams of 5 and Gareth was also allocated a team. Each team was given a rebrief on what their goal was and Gareth was after his mission was done to communicate with the other teams to check in on their progress.

after the brief everyone set off, the vanguard quietly snuck into the bandits periphery and assassinated the guards. Once they were finished they did a quick scan of the surroundings killing any stragglers before sending the signal.

the sabotage has begun.

Gareth and the team scampered across the dead bandits and headed towards the first food storage, he could plainly hear the vigorous laughter from nearby bandits.

Gareth saw a guard snoring outside the first food storage and easily managed to sneak in. The team deposited the eggs, and gareth seeing the abundance of food could not resist but take a few bags and hid them near the outskirts.

Finished they exited and reported on the progress, from time and time again Gareth would occasionally remind some teams of easier methods for their sabotage.

There were still more than a dozen food storages left and Gareth and his team managed to do 9 successfully due to sleeping guards as for the other 3 food storages. Gareth had asked for a special fungus that would induce anyone who smelt it have a great urge to urinate. This had successfully preoccupied 2 of the guards while the third one actually wet himself without care.

Gareth was flabbergasted by this guards thoughts, luckily he also had a plan C. He found some sleeper berries that would release a sleeping mist when the berry breaks open.

With the guard now asleep for a little while the team hurriedly planted the last of the eggs into the storage.

He had also gathered a few bags of food from rest of the food piles and buried them outside. With his mission done he decided to roam the camp and help out any of the struggling teams.

An hour in Gareth could hear the sad moans of woman and grunts of bandits, he easily recognised it as the whore house. knowing the pitiful woman experiencing obscene acts from the bandits Gareth decided to try and help.

Heading towards the shack, the noises grew louder, soon he came upon a disgusting scene. many abused and naked woman lying limply on the ground and bandits doing their immoral acts to the woman laughing madly while at it. the scent from this place even made Gareth who had rolled in all sorts of gross matter to wrinkle his nose. Still before he could act, he reported his discovery and after 5 minutes the leader in charge of the operation said that they will rescue the prisoners a few minutes before the sabotage begins.

Gareth understood the reason but he was still feeling frustrated inside, so he decided to give the miserable prisoners some hope. He discuss with the team and although they were frowning a little they still agreed.

The team went around the food storages that they could access and gave it to the nearby prisoners, they also passed on a message that they would be rescued soon giving some hope to the various prisoners.

Gareth waited for when there was only an hour before daybreak, the vanguard had dressed themselves as bandits to fool the patrolling guards.

Soon the sound from the radio that Gareth had been waiting for arrived, quickly they snuck to the nearest prison in this case the initial whorehouse and killed the bandits there and hid them.

The females upon seeing the bandits suddenly die were surprised before shedding tears, Gareth and his team hushed them and ushered them out as quick as possible. They carried those who couldn't walk and placed them at rendezvous.

they made numerous trips and upon heading to the 8th prison camp he heard the numerous cries of various creatures coming from afar. Knowing that the beast tide was on the way, Gareth hastened his speed and instead of avoiding the bandits he would kill them out right while the last member would hide the body before catching up.

20 minutes past and they had just gathered the last of the prisoners when they heard a ruckus, he didn't need to know what was happening as he could feel the vibrations underneath his feet. Heaving a sigh of relief he no longer hid and charged straight out to the nearest rendezvous, many of the stealth team also shared the same idea and began their crazy charge to escape. The bandits were alerted and yelled "we are under attack!" however his words were cut off when numerous explosions went off at various places. The vehicles were blown up, save a few that the military used for escape, the HQ, sleeping quarters and ammunition warehouse of the bandits were also blown up. Even the toilet area was not spared. The chaos gave the rest of the military and any prisoners who were left behind time to flee.
