Novel & Cerita The Regressed Mercenary's Machinations Novel

He was a younger captain I recognized from the courtyard rotations, his face streaked with black soot, his assault rifle leveled directly at Roman's remaining detail. He didn't wait for a command; he stepped right into the corridor, opening fire to protect my retreat. "KILL HIM!" Regina shrieked, throwing her body into the deep recess of the storage vault as the corridor erupted into chaos once more. While they frantically exchanged bullets at point-blank range, the second mercenary let go of my arm to swing his rifle toward the archway. I didn't hesitate. I dropped to the floor, rolling away from his boots, and scrambled back to my feet.

Now it was showing up again, like the past had found a back door. I sat across from Rico in my chambers. He didn’t speak, just waited. That was something I’d learned about him lately — he could be patient when it mattered. “He was supposed to be one of ours,” I said. “A Wintergreen. A seer. Not powerful, but respected. Loyal.” “And now he’s working with Malrec.” I nodded. “Looks like it.” Rico leaned forward slightly. “Do you think he knew what would happen to you? The first time?”

He staggered back, sat in his old chair, and stared at the walls he once filled with symbols of power. And for the first time in his empire’s history, he felt obsolete. ~~~~~~~~~~ BOOK OF BLOOD — NEW ENTRY “Mercy is not surrender. Mercy is the weapon most feared by those who’ve only known war.” “If they learn to hold hands instead of blades, they won’t become kings or gods.” “They’ll become something older. Something better.” —Aria

I realize this factory is located directly beneath the neutral borders, explaining how the rival alpha managed to amass such a massive army undetected. By building his war machine in this jurisdictional dead zone, Mercer bypassed all traditional pacts and oversight boards, turning a supposed sanctuary zone into the beating heart of his illegal conquest. The strategic implications send a cold chill straight down my spine, overriding the lingering fatigue from our harrowing ordeal in the frost-lily cavern.

A second strike followed instantly and it kept coming and coming as steel flashed repeatedly. The blade finally made a shallow cut across my shoulders. Pain burned through the cut. It was time to end this. A growl left my throat, Brook pleading to have a taste of blood. My claws lengthened, muscles expanded, fangs protruding. I shifted, but not fully. The mercenary took a step backward as the ground cracked beneath his feet. I caught his sword, snapping the blade in half. Smoke hissed through the air as silver burned my skin. I threw the broken blades effortlessly.

She saw the tiny, predatory shadows of the northern wolf pack descending from the ridges like a dark wave, swarming the trapped mercenary vehicles. A fierce, breathless laugh escaped Rebecca’s lips. She looked up at Lucian, her face illuminated by the warm, amber glow of the hearth fire. "She did it. They blocked the bottleneck. Malakai’s multi-million-pound machinery is nothing but a row of sitting ducks in the mud."

The vendors of New City Wet Market is not a push over at all, instead every single Vendors were like a cockroach, no matter how hard they were hit, they got back up once more. “Captain!!..this Aeternum is crazy!!!…We just keep swinging our swords and slicing their flesh…but none of them were retreating…5 of our men are already down!!!….SIR……AARRRGGHHH!!!…MY FINGERS!!!!!..”. (Mercenary)

I got behind the wheel and got there in about 30 minutes, 10 minutes ahead of everybody. I waited for everyone to arrive before we advanced into the warehouse. We all had our guns out but there was nobody on site. We found Jeremy and Martin hanging from the ceiling with their hands tied up. Martin was dead. Jeremy was close to dying. Isabella’s limp body sat on a chair. She showed no sign of life except for the small pulse I felt. After scoping the place out and making sure nobody else was actually there, we carried the three bodies out. Since Martin was already dead, we took him to the morgue while Jeremy and Isabella were sent to the hospital. There was a dark cloud hanging around my men.

Battered, burned, and out for blood. "Contact front!" The Mercenary Captain screamed, his armor scorched black. "Kill the spares! Secure the target!" Bullets tore through the gallery. Glass tanks shattered. Amber fluid and malformed bodies spilled onto the floor, creating a slick, macabre river. "Take cover!" Jack flipped the heavy mahogany desk, dragging Catherine and Ben behind it. The room turned into a warzone. Bullets chipped away at the wood. Marcus returned fire, his machine gun roaring, taking down two mercenaries in the doorway.

Vic tried to kill him, and he nearly killed Vic himself! “A werewolf can't have friends,” Yarsi whispered like a spell, but how desperately he didn't want to believe it. This is not the end. Mercenaries never leave an order unfinished. They will attack again, but now not openly, and if they fail again, they will repeat their attempt. And then again and again, until they achieve their goal. Peace is too much of a luxury for you….
