Chapter 631: The beginning of the Plans:
General Carl Gerald felt the weight of those casualty numbers settle into his consciousness. Seventeen wounded officers. Four of them critically injured. Dozens of hostile operatives killed in combat across multiple facilities. And zero friendly fatalities through what might have been luck or might have been the result of superior training and tactics."What about civilian casualties?" General Carl Gerald asked, dreading the answer to that question more than the military casualty counts."Still being assessed," Debra said carefully. "But preliminary reports suggest surprisingly minimal civilian casualties given the nature of the assault.”“The hospital reports three patients suffered stress-induced medical complications that required intervention…two cardiac events and one respiratory crisis.”“All three have been stabilized and are expected to survive. Multiple staff members sustained minor injuries from debris and falling equipment. No confirmed civilian deaths at any facility."
Chapter 630: The bridge of transformation:
"This is Air Support," came the response from what sounded like a young pilot who was clearly excited about his first combat operation. "We have full aerial observation of the hospital and surrounding area. We're tracking multiple vehicles fleeing the perimeter…looks like at least six SUVs and vans carrying the hostile forces that are evacuating. Do you want us to attempt interdiction?"General Carl Gerald considered the question carefully. Attempting to stop the fleeing vehicles could result in additional combat and potential civilian casualties if the chase extended into populated areas. On the other hand, allowing The Architect's forces to escape meant they could regroup and attack again.General Carl Gerald immediately thought to himself, he knew he had to make a choice immediately.But his primary mission had been accomplished…Sara was safe, the hospital was secured, his defensive teams had successfully repelled the assault across all facilities. Pursuing fleeing enemies was le
Chapter 629: The Afternoon decoys:
The gunfire throughout the hospital was dying down now, transitioning from the sustained roar of active combat to sporadic shots that suggested isolated contacts and cleanup operations.The helicopter circled the building, its external speakers continuing to broadcast surrender demands that were clearly having an effect on whatever hostile forces remained in the facility.General Carl Gerald's radio came alive with multiple transmissions as his scattered defensive team reported in:"Fourth floor east wing secure! Hostiles have withdrawn or been neutralized!""Ground floor perimeter teams report hostile forces evacuating the building through multiple exits! They're fleeing toward vehicles positioned around the perimeter!""This is Mobile Reserve! We've broken through the perimeter cordon and we're entering the hospital building now!”“Encountering fleeing hostiles but they're not engaging! They're running!" The Voice radioed through the military grade Comms.The tactical situation was
Chapter 628: The Northern forces Arrival:
Lieutenant Chen caught on immediately to the deception. "Team Two, concentrate fire on the door frame! Team Three, prepare fragmentation grenades for counterattack!" she shouted, creating the impression of multiple teams with specialized weapons.The psychological warfare appeared to be working….the hostile fire slackened slightly as if the attackers were reconsidering their assault plan based on this new intelligence about a larger defensive force than they'd anticipated.But the respite was brief. The female voice from earlier called out new orders from somewhere in the corridor: "Sustained suppression on the door! Keep their heads down! Breach team, prepare to push through on my mark!"The hostile fire intensified again, becoming a sustained roar of automatic weapons that forced General Carl Gerald and Lieutenant Chen to take cover behind equipment and furniture that was being progressively destroyed by the incoming rounds.General Carl Gerald's mind was racing through tactical op
Chapter 627: The way of the Champions:
The voice was female, professionally modulated, carrying authority and intelligence.Not The Architect herself…General Carl Gerald would have recognized her voice from their earlier phone conversation. But someone senior in her organization, someone with command responsibilities and tactical decision-making authority."We're offering you a deal!" the voice continued. "You have something we want…your sister Sara. We're prepared to let everyone else in that room walk away unharmed if you simply surrender Sara to us.”“You have sixty seconds to consider this offer before we breach that door and take her by force!" She immediately stated her demands.General Carl Gerald felt rage building in his chest at the casual way this woman was proposing to trade civilian lives like commodities, as if Sara was an object rather than a person, as if turning her over to people who would torture or kill her was a reasonable transaction.But he controlled his emotional response and focused on the tacti
Chapter 626: The western way of escape:
Six minutes minimum, possibly longer if the perimeter defense was strong. General Carl Gerald felt the weight of that timeline settle over the tactical situation like a death sentence."Understood," General Carl Gerald acknowledged. "Keep me updated on their progress. We'll hold this position as long as we can." General Carl Gerald immediately radioed back.He ended the transmission and turned to Lieutenant Chen, who had been listening to the radio traffic while maintaining her defensive watch on the door."Lieutenant, we need to assume we're looking at closer to ten minutes before reinforcements can reach us," General Carl Gerald said quietly. "And we need to assume The Architect is going to commit everything she has left to breaching this room and getting to Sara, my little sister.”“Which means the next ten minutes are going to be the most critical of this entire operation."Lieutenant Chen's expression showed she understood the gravity of what he was saying."Sir, with our limit
