Chapter 3 is out! Not much to talk for now, so enjoy everyone!

Time: 0800

Location: Tank Hanger

"Everyone, line up!" After gathering up the soldiers, Alicia continues: "Now, our new assigned commander of Squad 7 will give a welcome speech." With a quick look around the team (Kuro and Uni has stood in the first line), Alicia says: "Okay, Wel... Lieutenant Gunther, please go ahead."

Welkin gives an assure smile to the nervous girl: "It's okay, Alicia. Don't have to force yourself." He then turns to the rest of the squad. "I am Welkin Gunther, and I will be fighting alongside with you from today onward. Nice to meet you."

Everyone gives him a welcome and respect salute. Welkin continues: "At ease, everyone."

Everyone follows. Though, the oldest member of the squad, Largo Potter, briefly turns away unimpressed. "Damn greenhorn from university. No experiences in combat, and yet he is already appointed to lead a squad already."

The female Trooper next to him, Brigitte 'Rosie' Stark, agrees. "His way of talking is getting on my nerves."

Noticing them, Alicia checks on their details through the profile. 'Those two are already expressing their hostility towards Welkin already. Can't blame them.' She thought for herself, remembering that she was also feeling the same.

Welkin speaks: "First of all, there is something I want to ask you all. What's the most important thing in combat?"

"Isn't that too obvious? It's all about experiences!" Largo loudly answers.

Welkin nods. "That's an important thing. But it's not the most important." Largo looks back at Welkin in confusion, as the Commander answers: "Your life is the answer."

Everyone gasps in surprise and confusion. Then Largo expresses his mind: "That's nonsense."

"Welkin's correct." Everyone looks at Kuro, who's smirking. "Largo's answer, experience. It's important, and it will help you much in the battlefield. However, if you die, those things aren't matters anymore. Knowing how to live and survive is the most important thing, not only in the battles or war, but also in your daily life."

Welkin nods, and continues: "During the time we're here, there will be times of happiness, sadness, pain and such. But, we can only know that when we're alive. Die, and everything is over. As the leader of Squad 7, I will do my utmost best to protect everyone's life. So I hope you could do the same and stay alive as well. That's all."

Alicia smiles at Welkin's answer, and looks around to see everyone thinking about it as well. But she could see the unsatisfied looks on Rosie and Largo's face. She sighs, as she knows it will be taking time to make them on Welkin's side.

Then, a hand shots up. Welkin sees it and asks: "Yes?"

"Karl Landzaat. And may I ask why we have a non-Militia in our squad?" Everyone else nods as well, wanting to know why.

Welkin answers: "For that... Kuro, can you go ahead and introduce yourself?"

Kuro nods and steps forward and stops next to the leader. He then faces the squad and says: "My name is Kuro, and I will be under your care. I will act as a mercenary, but I will do my best to work together with you all."

Murmurs start, as they're wondering why the Militia needs a mercenary at all. Then, Dallas asks: "But if you're a mercenary, then what class you would be IF you're working with us?"

Kuro: "Think of me as a Jack-of-all-trades."

Largo doesn't believe, obviously. "Jack-of-all-trades? I doubt you could even lift up a lance."

Kuro shrugs. "We will see about that."

And now Alicia has another one to look out. 'Great. Kuro joins the mess as well.'

Luckily, Welkin decides to end it: "I think our meeting up time is enough now. Dismiss everyone."

Time: 1500

Same location

"A university student as our leader and a mercenary in our squad? We really drew the short stick here." Largo complains. A group of Squad 7 has gathered around and rested next to a tank.

"And not only that..." Rosie looks at Edelweiss to see Uni and Kuro sitting on it talking with Isara. "That girl with the cape, she's definitely a Darscen. Though, I'm not too sure about the other two. Both are mercenaries, both don't have a last name, but they are different from the Darscens."

Oscar says: "They also wield those powerful guns as well. Just where could those two from?"

Largo: "No matter. We will make sure who's the boss around here."

Briefing time

Location: War room

"Our line of defense has been pushed further back into our territory by the Imperial Army's invasion." Captain Varrot summaries the situation to the squad leaders. "But, we're not letting them pass. The Military, including Militia, is in the process of reorganizing its forces. Once the preparation is done. we will proceed to retaliate swiftly." She then points to the blackboard, which draws the map of a location with arrows signalling the points and positions of attacks. "Our first objective is Vasel Town. It's a vital point of transportation. The Vasel Bridge connects the main road to the capital city of Randgriz."

"In another word..." Faldio makes a conclusion. "If we lose the bridge, it's over."

"Exactly." Varrot nods. "After all preparations are complete, we're heading right to Vasel Town immediately. All squads, make preparations to move out!"

"ROGER!" The squad leaders acknowledge. Though, unknown to them, one who doesn't belong here is hiding, hearing all the plans.

'If things are going to be that easy...'

A few days later

Location: Road to Vasel Bridge

"Hey, Alicia." Noticing the girl being a little uptight, Welkin decides to start conversation. "Why don't you just relax a bit? Being like that would make you lose your breath when the time comes."

Alicia is not very happy. "Then you're asking me to go happy-go-lucky with a leader like you?"

Welkin laughs it out. "How unforgiving you are. But yes. You see Kuro and Uni, they're still being as themselves."

Alicia hums in annoyance. "They are mercenaries, so there's no reason for them to be so worrying."

Welkin: "But remember when Kuro fought those soldiers? He kept that smile during the whole time."

Alicia: "That's because..."

Welkin: "And the Military has already departed first, so I'm sure Vasel Town is already under our control." Then he notices pillars of smoke afar... rising from the Vasel Bridge.

One of the nearby soldiers brings his binocular up and observes... "Gallian troopers are running away from Imperial's tanks! We are losing the fight!"

"Unfortunate, it is." Kuro walks to the edge of the street they're walking on. "With that many tanks, the Military down there stands no chance in taking the town, and many lives has lost."

Largo says out loud: "So? Lost in war is inevitable."

"The more I want to hear is, how many we can save." Kuro puts the L82 LSW to the ground and kneels on the grass, and puts Javelin on his right shoulder. "Better giving them a chance to save lives." He looks through the CLU and starts targeting one of the tanks.

"Hey, what are you planning to shoot at?" Edy walks to him.

Kuro notices that and turns back. "Edy, don't stand right behind me please." Once she complies, he explains: "I'm aiming at those tanks on the bridge. It won't stop the Imperial, but it could buy us some time to pull out safely."

The soldiers nearby who hear the conversation widen their eyes in shock. He is planning to shoot a tank from this location? Even Edy can't believe it. "You can't be serious! That was like three clicks away!"

Kuro shrugs and takes aim again. "Then you can watch and enjoy it." After a few seconds the CLU beeps, signalling that it has successfully locked on a tank. "The wonder of modern technology." Then he pulls the trigger, and the rocket launches.

Though, everyone has a mini heart attack when they see the missile nearly drops to the ground, before the rocket flies straight to the air. They all follow the trace of the missile, a little bit disappointed that the shot misses...

Then Kuro loads out a second missile. Alicia then tries to stop him: "Wait, Kuro! That shot just missed..."

"Who said I missed? Just follow the missile and you will see." Not taking Alicia's warning, Kuro takes aim again. The girl then feels the tap on her shoulder, she turns right to see Welkin pointing the the sky. She looks up and sees the missile suddenly falls down and heads to the bridge. Uni gives Alicia a binocular and she looks through it. After about three seconds, the missile heads straight to the hatch of a tank, collides and explodes the tank into oblivion. Then she hears the sound of missile ejecting, and another one flies to the sky in the same manner.

Everyone looks at the mercenary in disbelief. After third one is shot out, Kuro stands up and starts walking. Noticing everyone has stopped, he shouts: "Hey! Don't forget our mission! We're heading to the town as fast possible!"

Everyone is still in shock state. He just shot three missiles into the air and blew up three Imperial's tanks, and now he just casually walks away like nothing happened.

"That's Kuro for you." Uni's voice snaps them back to reality. "Anyway, let's go. Remember our mission?"

Later

Location: Bank of Vasel River

"Look at this place." Welkin and Alicia are watching the destruction the previous fight has caused. Many building have collapsed, the ones still standing now have massive holes on it. The road's filled with destroyed tanks and... Welkin expresses his worriness: "The other bridges are destroyed, so all forces will focus on this one as the mean to transport. With time coming through, the battle will drag on with more casualties."

Alicia says: "I think Kuro is also aware of it. When we reach this place, he has dropped his smile till now."

"He is a person who wants to cloak his worries with a smile, but only to a certain point. Sounds like what my father would do."

"GET OUT OF OUR SIGHT THIS INSTANT!" Hearing the shout of Rosie, the duo immediately rush to the scene, to see Kuro standing before Isara, covering her from Rosie and Largo. Some of the other soldiers have headed to the scene as well.

"Do you have to be so loud? She could be wherever she wants to go." Kuro talks coolly to the Trooper, but his face shows that he's disliking this situation.

Rosie changes the target of her anger: "And you! I don't know who the hell you are, but siding with that girl..."

"Is to help Gallia fighting this war." Uni interrupts. "She is a Gallian as well. If we don't side with her, then who would help us fighting against those Imperial guys?"

"There are plenty more that we can help." Largo disagrees. "We don't have to rely on people like her."

"What's going on here?" Alicia asks when she reaches the place.

Rosie notices the duo come, and she answers: "Ah, just in time." She fully turns to Welkin. "Mister Commander, let me make this clear. I'm not going to fight alongside with a Darscen."

"Same sentiments here." The Lancer agrees with the Trooper. "For ages, the Darscens are said to bring disaster."

"Hey, let me..." Weikin tries to talk it out.

And Largo is not going to let that happen. "Don't bother. Nobody will follow the orders of a boy who has never seen real battles before."

"That's all?" All turn to Kuro, who's smirking disdainfully. "For a boy who is just over 30, you really think you have seen everything."

Now that triggers the person in question. Largo shouts back to him: "A boy? Who do you think you are?"

"Kuro, a mercenary. Didn't I tell you?" The smirk is still there. "And you, Rosie. What makes you hate the Darscens so much? Did they do pranks on you too much? If that's the case, then how pity you are, working up too much on something so simple."

Rosie is not having any of that. "You are just around for a few days! You didn't even know what a Darscen is before! Don't try to lecture us or..."

"Or perhaps, a minority of them has caused the lost of someone you love?" The question is voiced out by a serious tone from Kuro. The Trooper sees him stop smiling at once and look at her dead in the eyes. "Hatred always starts when you lose something dear to you. Hatred is what brings your own destruction. Breaking down from the inside, to the point you don't want to hear the real truth and blindly follow your own. Hatred is slowly clouding your judgment, making you turn into the very person you hate the most. That's not just about the Darscens, but also the people you never knew fully and you judge them just by their looks or their acts through a few seconds. I help you, not just about your freedom from the Imperial, but also from your tortured souls. With the mind you have right now, you will end up killing your own people."

Every single word is like a nail to the coffin. Rosie backs out in fear of the person in front of her. She has been lectured around before, but none of them sounded like this... but she collects herself and talks back: "So what? Even when that's the truth..."

"Then you are blinded by your rage. What a few people have done is not what everyone would do. Life or death events are what challenge human to choose, whenever they control their inner devils or let them take over their actions. In the end, one will win, one will lose. The matter is what is next."

Rosie slowly puts her right hand on the buttstock of her gun. She's on the edge of shooting the person immediately, as she can feel the deadly aura he's giving to them...

Then it suddenly goes away, as Kuro turns to Largo. "You said you won't listen to a person who's inexperienced? Tell me, how well could you gain knowledge?"

Largo, snapping out of his daze, asks back: "That's not specific at all."

Kuro: "Kay then. How much time do you need to shoot a gun?"

Largo: "Heh? After a few weeks or so..."

"A second." Everyone looks at Welkin in disbelief. "To shoot a gun, you have to pull the trigger."

Kuro nods. "Exactly. Welkin, in this matter, what would you do to prove that you can lead this squad?"

Welkin turns to Largo. "Let's make a bet, shall we?" When he gets everyone's attention, he continues: "All of us are conflicting about following my orders or not. How about this, in forty eight hours, I will reclaim the bridge with just Squad 7. No help from Kuro or Uni. If that happens, you will follow my orders after that. Do you agree?"

"And if you fail, you will resign your position as a leader." Largo concludes the bet. "You better not hold back your words, kid."

With his usual smile, Welkin answers: "Then we have a deal." He turns to Kuro. "For this moment, please don't join the fight..."

Kuro points his index finger up and moves it left to right. "I won't interfere with your plans. However, I'm not going to sit around if there's a risk your comrades could be killed."

Uni then suggests: "We can protect you from far sides with our snipers. Would it be okay?"

Welkin nods. "It's for the best. Thank you two."

Kuro then walks off the group and heads to the riverside. But before he leaves the others' sight. "Currently, your opponents are the Imperial, not each other. Point your guns to them." And with that, he leaves.

Uni sighs, earning her everyone's stare. "Seriously, he's over-sensitive sometimes."

Rosie points to the direction Kuro just went. "You call THAT over-sensitive? I felt like he's planning to kill us all!"

Uni understands that. "I know, he did the same thing like that when our sisters are lazy, but in lower level. Anyway, don't pick on anyone just because of how they look. Darscens bringing disaster? I feel like you're pulling our legs here."

"Darscens Calamity." Isara gains the Candidate's attention. "It was recorded that, because of Ragnite, many tribes of Darscens have fought each other to gain it for themselves. Then the Ragnite powered weapons were unleashed and killed millions of animals and people in the process."

Uni waits for her to continue... but that's it. "Wait... that's all?"

Isara asks in confusion: "You were expecting more?"

"As a mattter of fact, yes! That was just what us human do, not just the Darscens alone!"

Largo and the others protest: "Hey! We are not that..."

"If you replace Damon with Darscens... think about it. I'm out." Uni concludes the conversation before running to where Kuro could be.

That drops Squad 7 in total silence... it's true many of Damon's operations were failed and they costed lives of many soldiers... but to compare that to the Calamity... a shudder thought they don't want to rethink again.

"You didn't have to do that." Uni berates the other Deity. "That nearly blew up our covers."

"Don't worry about it." Kuro assures. "Since they know about Valkyrias, I suspect they would think of us as the same."

"From what I have read, all of them seem to be females..."

"Records are records. Those are facts, but not necessary the truth. One of them can't view the whole point of one matter."

Uni sighs and shakes her head. "If we didn't know you, we would say you are babbling. Anyway, about Welkin being the leader..."

"He's like Ruby to be honest. Replace cookies and milk with nature or vice versa, and you have either."

"I feel like those two can get along well... and Weiss and Rosie for some reasons... you think Welkin could do it?" After noticing Kuro's half-grin, Uni knows the answer. "I will take that as a yes. So, which sniper rifle are you going to use?"

"As loud and as far as possible."

Time: Next day, 0500

Location: Vasel River bank

"You are expecting us to cross the bridge?" Rosie asks the leader of squad 7 in disbelief. "While the fog could cover us, there are still Imperial soldiers shooting blind at us and it could hit at worst moments."

Welkin shakes his head and points to the river. "That's not my plan. We are crossing the river directly, with the tank as well. I found a stretch shallow enough for the tank to pass through. Edelweiss is equipped with water-resistant measures that could hold enough time for submersion."

Largo looks at the river, doubtfully that it would work. That thought gets thrown out of window when Uni supports the idea: "The tank's weak points have been covered, so it's no longer a problem for the tank to pass through. The materials for them are good enough to deal with water pressure."

Alicia then re-explains the plan: "First, the Edelweiss will cross first and clear out any patrols of Imperial. Then, Lieutenant Gunther will send up a flare when succeeds, and we will follow up by boat. From that point, we attack and retake the bridge. Are we clear?"

Seeing that no one's arguing, Welkin concludes: "Alright then. From this point, the operation starts! We will see you all on the other side!"

"By the way..." Alicia then asks Uni: "Did you see Kuro?"

Uni points her thumb to the clock tower. "He's going to raise hell to the Imperial. We just have to do our works right."

Rosie looks at the direction and asks: "What is he planning to do, sitting afar from the battlefield?"

Uni: "Oh, you will be surprised. Everyone will be."

Location: Depth of Vasel River

"It works well." Welkin comments. So far the water hasn't leaked in yet, and the tank's still running smoothly through the river. "Kuro did approve that when we told him our plan."

Isara doesn't say anything about that, causing Welkin to ask: "Hey, Isara? You okay there?"

"I felt like Kuro was hiding something." She answers. "Being travelers despite their young ages? It could be possible, but the knowledge they possess seems to be way beyond our own."

Welkin understand, and he knows everyone has the same thought. "I know. But right now, he's our ally, along with Uni, and they don't seem to be bad people."

"Be careful, Welkin. I see a tank on the road next to the river bank, 1 o'clock from your position. You will meet three patrols when you get out of the river as well."

The commander suddenly hears the voice of the male mercenary. He asks back: "Is that you, Kuro?"

"Who else? Also, I saw the water starting to pass through the protection, so better fasten up." And with that, the radio turns static.

Isara asks in surprise: "He could see where we are under the river?"

"With advanced weapons like that, we can be certain they have more than we know."

Location: The opposite bank of Vasel River

"Hm? You hear that?" One patrol asks.

The others start focusing on their hearing. Then the second one answers: "I hear it now. What is it?"

The third one locates the direction of the sound, as he faces the river. "It seems to come from the river..." He narrows his eyes to try to see through the fog...

And widens his eyes in shock when he sees the Gallia tank coming out of the river and landing on the bank, and it starts heading right towards two of his comrades, crushing them with its weight. Running away in shock, he's heading straight to the Imperial tank to try to warn it, but Edelweiss has already blown it up with its main cannon. Knowing that it's not safe anymore, he tries to head to the nearest station... when he sees a flash in his eye corner. The moment he turns to see what it is... darkness consumes him.

Uni rubs her ears in a little pain. "That's loud..."

Everyone's following her, as Alicia asks: "Uni, I thought your gun was loud enough..."

"He's using a completely different one. A modification of an already powerful sniper rifle..."

Largo: "Just what kind of weapons are you possessing?"

Uni doesn't answer that, and thankfully she can change the topic as she sees the flare. "Let's finish this mission, everyone. The coast's clear."

After shooting the flare, Welkin looks at the poor soldier who got shot in the face. His head is no longer there, with the helmet completely shatters. He shivers when he sees the scene, then he turns to the direction of the shooter. "Kuro, do you have to do that?"

"What do you expect? I shot from distances away, so I have to pick bigger bullets." The mercenary's voice can be heard through his headphone. "Anyway, the Imperial is alerted, but your squad has reached the bank and they are attacking now. Regroup and take back the bridge. Uni will cover you all directly."

"Thanks for your information." When Kuro's voice could no longer be heard, he says to himself: "So he chose that place so he could overview the entire place..." Then he sees his comrades. "Better get moving then."

"Status!"

"Gallia soldiers! Unknown numbers!"

"Where the hell are they coming... ARGH!" One clean bullet stops the man's speech, and the rest immediately dodge behind the wall again.

"Nice shot." Marina Wulfstan compliments on Uni's kill. "Could that gun be mass produced?"

"Possible, but we're not giving out its designs. Though I could lend you the weapon sometimes."

"Thanks." An ear-piercing sound cuts through the air as two Imperial troopers are shot down instantly. "How can he even shoot from that far? Before that, how could he look through the fog?"

Uni sighs. "That's Kuro for you. Finding the most ridiculous way to upgrade a weapon."

From below, the Imperial soldiers are in completely chaos. First, they are unexpected that Gallia managed to sneak their soldiers to the other side of the bridge with a tank as well. Then, their covers are like papers due to an unknown sniper (they found out there are snipers in the field, but not from afar) with some overpowered bullets that pierce through even TANKS! Not once in their battlefield times have they fought the mess like this. And all of them now are thinking: Just what have Gallia possessed for themselves?

"Hey, did anyone feel like this happened before?" One of the Imperial soldiers suddenly remembered about their failures when they tried to cross the border of Gallia.

"You want to talk about that massacre in Bruhl?" Another recognized it, before poking his head out and shooting a few shots to squad 7 before retreating to the another wall. "You were saying those piercing shots were from that one person?"

"I don't believe so. He was recorded to use sword in the middle of the gunfight. Though there could be a second person..."

"You should have run instead of staying here and talking." All soldiers nearby point their guns at the unknown voice, however, in a blink of an eye, all the barrels are cut in pieces. They all look at who's talking, to see a person wearing a white trench coat and holding a sheathed sword in his left hand, with his right one holding the handle. "Though, that's to be expected. Your Imperial doesn't care much about your life, as they told you not to run. I'm giving you a chance to run, so better keep moving pals."

First, they're surprised that someone just appeared right in the middle of the group unnoticed. Then they see the sword and they know, they're facing the living rumor. One of them pulls out a knife and tries to stab the man, but he just sidesteps and kicks the soldier's leg, making him fall flat to the ground. "Now now. I'm being mercy here. Don't give me a reason to kill all of you, please. I don't really like killing that much."

And of course, they don't listen, as they pull out their remain guns and open fire at him, and he responds by cutting down all the bullets. Once they're all out of bullets, the Imperial soldiers look at the opponent in disbelief that he hasn't missed a single strike. Then, they hear the words of death behind their back: "Guess you want to die. I will grant it for you all."

From afar, some of the members of Squad 7 witness the mercenary turning all the foot soldiers of Imperial into minces with his sword strikes. In a blink of an eye. Alicia's lower jaw drops in surprise. There are two reasons for that: First, it's how he survived the barrages of bullets. And second: "Since when did he get here so fast?" Then the ear-piercing sound rings up again, and this time the engine of a tank gets hit, and it blows up the whole thing. "... Who's shooting then?" Then 'Kuro' just disappears in front of them in a blue light. "...Who's with me in interrogating Kuro later?" She receives nods from everyone around her.

Time: 0800

Squad 7 has recaptured Vasel Bridge and the Imperial Army has retreated. Right now every Gallia transport is running through the bridge for unit and supply transportation. Squad 7 has relaxed themselves after the fight early in the morning...

"So, you are following his orders from now on. I hope you're not backing on your words." Alicia says to Largo and Rosie, smiling that the winner in the bet is Welkin.

The Lancer leader chuckles. "Well, I lost, so I will have to do so. Still, it's nice to see that our leader DOES have qualities to be one."

Rosie nods. "Same side. But, about the Darscens..." She briefly glares at Isara who gulps a bit in nervous, then sighs. "Don't expect me to work with them." She then stands up and walks away, leaving Alicia and the girl in a little despair.

"Wait..." Welkin stops Alicia by grabbing her shoulder before she can walk further.

"Alicia, let her go for now. At least she did acknowledge what we have talked about."

Alicia sighs about it. "I hope she could get over it soon..."

"Soon or later. It will be a long way for her to forgive the past." Everyone turns to see Kuro standing next to Edelweiss. "Yo. That's a good fight you put there."

As Kuro walks to them, Largo stands up and tries to grab his shoulder... "Hey! You said you won't go..." Only for his hand to go straight through his body, much to everyone's surprise, and the Lancer nearly falls to the ground... if the real Kuro doesn't catch him immediately.

"Be careful there, Largo. Don't go senile on us after the fight like that." Kuro just chuckles after seeing everyone's face, as he lets Largo lean on his body and straighten himself up. "I'm sure you have many questions..." 'Kuro' just casually walks to Uni, who just shakes her head disapprovingly.

"OBVIOUSLY! WHY ARE THERE TWO OF YOU?" Alicia immediately shouts as she points to both Kuro in frightened.

Kuro then raises his hand watch up, facing the clone. Then the image collapses in a blue light before being absorbed into the watch, startling everyone. "Another piece of technology. It creates a clone of yourself, standing independent or controlled by you. But a massive drawback for the later is that you will lose half of your vision to the clone, causing a bit of headache if not training properly."

Uni pinches her nose bridge as she says: "That's why you stayed up in the clock tower so that you could focus your remain vision to use the sniper rifle and the other to control the clone." She earns a nod of confirmation.

Another sniper of the squad, Cezary Regard, asks: "Then where is that sniper rifle of yours? Uni here used one..."

Kuro's right shoulder shines up with a column of similar blue light from before, then it disappears to reveal a heavy-looking sniper rifle. "Barrett M99, one of my favorite. I have even adjusted it a bit more, and the result...well, you saw it."

Another two surprises: One, that's one heavy and strong rifle. Two: "YOU ALWAYS CARRY IT WITH YOU?"

"Everything." Kuro turns to Uni, who makes the Intervention appear on her shoulder. "We have, to put it simple, an invisible bottomless bag. Sorry, but before you ask, that's something we can't give you, and I doubt any of you could replicate that." Seeing that he's about to get interrogated, hard, he decides to end the chapter: "Well, at least we finished the mission without any casualties. Who wants to go..."

"LIKE WE'RE LETTING YOU RUN AWAY!"

New weapon used:

Barrett M99, enhanced by magic (everyone else except Uni doesn't know about that)

Doppelganger mini generator (a make-up thing)

I did a small check, and found out that Barrett M99 is actually lighter than Intervention? All COD games so far, I feel the formal being way heavier than the later for some reasons. Or is it because of the different impacts of shots from those guns?

Anyway, I have overpowered all weapons, but only slightly. Like with Javelin, I made it go further, but that's it. A well shot and the missile goes down like usual.

For now, that's it. The next mission will be in Kloden Wildwood... Oh boy, it's not going to be fun for Alicia when 'he' is found. See you in the next chapters!
