Modern Weapon System - Chapter 25 Working As A Merc.. Again Mkii
“Ok, so another assassination eh? The pay was so cheap,” Lance said as he grabbed a quest paper from the guild.
“Yup, another quest,” Dima said as he grabbed a flask containing his Vodka.
Lance and his group grabbed the hidden quest. The hidden quest in this context was the equivalent of clandestine op in the modern term. Most of the time, the request was being made by the five major power. However, the reason why the generals did that quest because they want to have some fun.
“Well, Lance, what kind of contract is it now?” Melody asked him.
“Certainly a contract that our babushka can handle,” Dima said right in front of Natalya’s face.
Without haste, Natalya put a punch on Dima’s belly. “Killing another tax collector as usual,” Lance said.
Lochlan had already complained to him about the development of the town. About why they don’t develop the agricultural and tourism of the region. However, Lance responded that the tax collector was the real problem since there was no point in selling if no one will buy it. The citizen of Portsmouth will buy it, but outside of the city? The tax collector collects about 50% of the worth of things that are being carried. Anyone that does their trading in Portsmouth will certainly go bankrupt.
Dima? He suggested another attack, but Lance refused. His reason? We don’t want more civilian casualties.
“Yeah, the first time we hunt down a tax collector, we brought the A-10. Damn, all that’s left from him was a pile of mincemeat,” Lochlan said. He remembered the A-10 fired the AGM-65 to the convoy of the tax collector from distance and the A-10 finished the mission with some brrrrrrt on the end.
“In fact, we knew that one sniper will do the job nicely,” Natalya said while holding her Gepard M6 Lynx with the Russian 12.7mm ammo.
The group sat down on the chair on the guild and put their rifles and pistol on the table. Lance brought an HK416, Lochlan brought a GM-94, Dima brought an M240B, Natalie used a Gepard M6, and Melody used an FN MK 20 SSR. The sidearm was the same which was a Glock 20 chambered in 10mm auto. They wore a CADPAT, Lace wore a green shemagh that was put down on his neck. the guild receptionist approached them while serving them with a free warm tea.

“Nice, now we have more trade in the city since the tax collector had been reduced significantly,” Lance said as he closed his quest board and looked at the real physical paper quest on the table. “Who is the contractor this time?” Lance asked the guild receptionist.
“It’s a secret, we only gave the quest itself to a famous adventurer or at a town lord.” The female receptionist said.
“Who is the guild master anyway? We have been here for about a month and we have not met him yet,” Melody said to the guild receptionist.
“Guild master name only can be known by an adventurer of rank A and above, as that person over there,” The receptionist said as she pointed his hand to a bulky female knight that was sitting with her party.
“Should I deal with her Comrade?” Dima said as he put his trigger happy finger at the trigger of the M240B.
“No, Don’t. Maybe not now,” Lance said as he put Dima’s M240 down.
“Ok, then let’s leave then before this urod turn the whole building into a pizdec,” Natalya said as he dragged Dima right on his clothes and the other stood up from the table and grabbed their weaponry.
In front of the guild building, there were five horses that were theirs. Like any operatives during the beginning of Operation Enduring Freedom, a horse was better for them since they were covert and don’t want to be seen. Although truth to be told, they were very obvious at it since their uniform was far different from the Soulishphate army which was pretty shiny and reddish.
Lance got into his horse which had a Carl Gustav M4 on the saddle loaded with a HE rounds, the others did the same too and they got out of the Portsmouth and went hunting for any tax collector. Any tax collector would do since there were not any requests for any specific tax collector.
Not long afterward, the tax collector could be seen in the grassland with his squad of bodyguards. 2 of them were a knight on a horse, 5 of them were a regular infantry holding a sword, 3 of them were a mage, and lastly, the tax collector himself.
Natalie and Melody got out of the horse first since they were a marksman and distance was their advantage. Especially Natalie since her rifle was about as powerful as .50 BMG sniper rifle. Lance and the men would do a hit and run to the tax collector group using their horse.
Lance: “Assasin 4, do you have a visual on the mage?”
Natalie: “Assasin 4 here, visual on the target, ready to take the shot.”
Lance: “Do it.”
A loud sound and two birds fell by one stone. Two of them dropped on the ground and the convoy was shocked badly. The knight’s horse scrambled and the soldier readied their sword. Just before the last mage fired his spell, The barrage of bullets was fired by the squad of Lance’s.
The 7.62x51mm from Melody’s FN MK-20 fired a precise bullet to each of the target’s head. The head popped off one by one like a cherry. The knights were also popped off from the horse and leaving a messy mess.
Dima: “Assasin 2, all target down.”
Melody: “Assasin 5 copy. Stand by.”
Lance got out of the horse and looted the tax collector. Well, as usual, there was no loot since the hunts down for the tax collector really affect their income since there wasn’t any successful tax collection on the Portsmouth region. However, there was a sealed letter sealed with a red candle seal on it.
He opened the letter and saw the content. He was shocked and the others were confused so they got out of the horse too and followed Lance to get out of the horse. The letter content was what you can expect from a sealed order to a soldier.
Melody: “This is Assasin 5, what took you so long. Hurry and get out of there.”
Lance: “This is Assasin 1, to all members of Assasin fireteam. R.V here.”
Melody and Natalya got on their horses and went for Lance’s location. They read that letter too as soon as they got there and they were surprised too.
To the General of the western fort
There are unknown forces that are suspected to be the demon’s army. Portsmouth has fallen to the demon’s hand. I request the western region to do an attack to capture back the Portsmouth. If the demon has gained an advantage, scorched earth operation is permitted. General, success in this operation is a must.
Honor & Glory To Soulisphate
“Yup, the king is a plum fool,” Lance said as he trashed the letter.
