Eodem Chapter 7: Operation Scorpion Sting (Part 2: the Assault)

"......All teams, commence Operation Scorpion Sting." Samantha Ordered.

"Move in Iris... be calm Diaz got your back." Kayin said. He was overseeing Iris and Vincent through his flying drone that was looking down on the vicinity of Devico's Mansion.

"You got this Snow White." Vincent added.

The Vampire, with the pocket of all of her remaining Life's Savings nervously walked towards the HQ of the Burning Horse Bandits. Using the hood to conceal her body from the crowds and the sun, she breezed unnoticeably from the crowds of people who were out that day for their daily business. Merchants sold Luxury Goods to buyers dressed who were in Noble's apparel consisting of surcoats, decorated belts, long socks and hats in flamboyant shapes and colors. There were also artisans and the common folks who wore more down to earth clothes like dirtied shirts, trousers and less colorful dresses. As Kayin watched Iris and Vincent separately move closer to the target, the Nigerian couldn't help but feel concerned over the conditions he has to work with. So many innocent civillians are not going to expect such a loud and full-frontal attack at this common place of gathering and he fears the tragic loss of human death for the Gliesians who live in Tyr Rian.

"I hope you will practice restraint with that 270 Delta gun of yours." Kayin said to Crocker.

"Oh, don't worry, this beauty of mine is the best of both the LSAT's Low Recoil and the Punch of an M60. No Stray Bullets coming from me. Just shoot a few shots off and the Civs' will run and duck out of there." Lewis replied in his thick Cockney Accent.

"You better. Is that Exo-Suit of yours even necessary?" Asked Kayin again.

"My Mark 4 Hercules Armor? I saved lives and punched people with this. It's like already as how the Japanese would say 'an extension of your body'." Crocker said.

The Grizzled Brit flexed his muscle at the Nigerian in a proud demonstration of his masculinity. Crocker was a well-built man who works out in an intense regimen of weights and Ab Workouts causing him to be a muscular 200-pound man at his height of 6'2. Compared to Kayin he has a normal body neither too light nor too heavy of 5'10 and 160 pounds.

"I am not talking about your suit Sarge as great and powerful as it is. I just feel sorry for the Burning Horse Bandits. We good Ballistics and Futuristic equipment while our quarry barely has an understanding of Projectile Warfare. We are, by their standards could be comparable to God-Like Mages being sent to kill five-year olds." Kayin commented.

The Auto-Rifleman couldn't help but agree with Kayin's logical reasonings. After all, these people have Medieval Era levels of Technology. However, he and the other people of the Colony are concerned of the 'Magic' that the people of Benham-3 possess and can wield. He has seen from the records and Kayin's own accounts about the capabilities of Magic in the form of Iris who can conjure Fireballs, Electricity Bolts, Ice Spikes and even look into other people's minds with just biting really 'passionately'.

"Strike Team move closer by twenty meters." Samantha radioed.

"Roger, remember boys and girls. Watch your fire and don't let these Fuckers get any close to you." He replied.

"Wilco!" Said one of the accompanying soldiers.

As the UFE soldiers walked discreetly towards the Mansion at the center of the Market with their weapons and gear cloaked by their jackets to not attract attention from the Primitive Natives, Iris Cadohagan has made it to the from Iron Barded Gates of Devico's Mansion. She hailed the guard on top of the gate's tower drawing his attention.
