Sabertooth - Chapter 29

Chapter 29: The Death of ‘Stone Wall’ (2)

After accepting orders from General Hook, Victor and Colonel Edward immediately returned to the Brooklyn 14th Militia Regiment to begin the selection of those, who could join the team.

In the end, after a series of emergency drills and careful research, only one person could meet the conditions.

Under the conditions of dealing with all emergencies, the assassination of the ‘Stone Wall’ was successful, and the harsh conditions that could eventually retreat. Except for ‘Sabertooth Tiger’ Victor, himself, other soldiers simply went to death.

“It seems that no one else can pass it. To tell you the truth, this operation was a secret order issued by the President Lincoln, and he appointed you as the executor. Of course, if you feel unsure or too dangerous, you can choose to refuse.”

In such a case, Edward decided to tell Victor all things, including the fact that the order was issued by President Lincoln personally, and the real goal was only ‘Stone Wall’ alone.

However, in order to confuse the intelligence personnel of the Southern Army, when Edward reported, he still said that he formed an extremely elite team to carry out the operation.

The plan for this operation is highly confidential, and only the specific circumstances of General Hook, President Lincoln, Victor, and Colonel Edward are known. Everyone else knows nothing about the plan of action and the details of the implementation team.

Even when the candidates were selected before, they were conducted in the name of military tests. Therefore, this action plan was finally named: Plan X, and its execution team was named: ‘Team X’.

X represents unknown in mathematics, and it also has a special meaning in the US military: it represents experimental equipment. Generally, this code represents a sample product or prototype, and a limited amount of equipment.

It can be said that the establishment of ‘Team X’ is an attempt by the Federal Army for unconventional combat. Of course, this is mainly because of the meaning of Lincoln.

The young government and its president have realized that the world is not as simple as it seems on the surface exposed by the arrest of Mrs. Greenhow, the southern spy.

And they also encounter some warriors, who have more power than ordinary people, but because of their limited strength, all the guns and cannons are still overwhelmed by the overwhelming number.

In this age when the ancient gods were lurking, the alien power had not yet paid attention to the earth, and most of the strong local people were not born yet, the supernatural power displayed in front of the world was not so powerful, so the world still belonged to ordinary people.

However, this does not mean that the government can ignore the impact of this force. Sometimes, these forces can also play an extremely huge role.

For example, what Mrs. Greenhow did in Washington, if she has not been exposed and was not successfully captured by Victor, maybe the South may really succeed in achieving independence.

And Victor’s performance on the battlefield, especially the fighting power displayed in the battle at the Rapa Hannock Railway Station, was finally reported to Lincoln in secret.

Under the influence of these two things, Lincoln finally made the final decision, and with the help of Hook, he ordered Victor to set up this one-person ‘Team X’, saying that there was Edward Lee in the assassination target, but from the beginning to the end, ‘TeamX’ has only one goal: ‘Stone Wall’ Jackson.

For this legendary southern army general, who has defeated the federal army several times and threatened the security of the federal capital Washington, Lincoln has already been intolerable. Until the ‘Stone Wall’ didn’t die, he and the members of Congress will not be able to sleep peacefully.

After Victor accepted the personal secret order from President Lincoln, he simply packed his few suitcases and set off.

After Victor set off, Hook also started his own actions, he not only wanted the life of the ‘Stone Wall’ Jackson, he wanted to defeat ‘Stone Wall’ Jackson and his sir: Edward Lee, on the frontal battlefield.

As the top commanders of both sides played on the frontal battlefield, the situation actually began to move towards the favorable situation of the Southern Army.

But it is not entirely without good news: ‘Stone Wall’ Jackson started his bold and adventurous action again, and he took the troops back around the EFF.

At this time, Victor was not far from the location of the ‘Stone Wall’ Jackson’s forces, and he was among the soldiers of the 11th Army of the EFF.

This army of German immigrants was not as heroic as their ancestor Hessen mercenaries, instead they became a defeater of the ‘Stone Wall’ Jackson.

At this time, the 11th army camp was filled with smoke, and the soldiers set up tents, lazily playing cards, smoking, and blowing leather in groups of three and five.

Suddenly there were many animal shouts from the swamp, and then these animals rushed into the 11th Army’s camp. Then the 11th Army soldiers thought that it was the hunting season.

But Victor smelled the crisis in the animal’s horrified cries and unusual behavior, just as he prepared a loud warning.

The Southern Army, led by ‘Stone Wall’ Jackson, has arrived, and was beaten by an unprepared EFF. There is simply no way to organize an effective counterattack.

But they did not flee, they retreated side by side, but the defense line had been completely torn, and they were eventually driven out of their camps.

Finally, Victor, who was at his target, also started his own actions. He first fought with the soldiers of the 11th Army, but as the sun set, he escaped from the 11th Army with the cover of night.

After leaving the large force, Victor came to the camp of the ‘Stone Wall’ Jackson army, but just as he was about to sneak in and assassinate the ‘Stone Wall’ Jackson, he was surprised to find that the target actually ran out of the barracks on his horse and went straight in the direction of the 11th Army’s retreat.

It turned out that Jackson decided to continue to pursue the 11th Army of the Federation to ensure that they would not reorganize their troops, because the 11th Army’s performance of side battles was good.

But the sky at this time was already dark, and the Southern Army had no knowledge of the nearby terrain, so the ‘Stone Wall’ Jackson personally went out to investigate, of course, his personal preference for adventure influenced it.

But he did not expect that it would take his life and the lives of the soldiers around him in this way …

“Stone wall, stone wall, it seems that the sky is going to kill you!”

Victor, who had a rare opportunity, quickly ran through the mountains and quickly caught up with Jackson and others, who were riding horses.

Subsequently, he found a big tree hugging two people in front of Jackson and others. He ambushed on the tree and took the special after-sale rifle from his back.

This prototype firearm specially made by the Federal Military Factory can ensure extremely accurate shooting accuracy within a distance of 600 meters. This was almost impossible at the time, but in Victor’s hands, it was a trivial matter.

With the sound of a horseshoe, Jackson and others appeared in Victor’s line of sight. After a simple aiming, Victor shot.

With the sound of a gunshot and a flash of fire, the legendary Southern Army general, ‘Stone Wall’ Jackson fell off the horse.

“Enemies! Over there! Fire! Others dismount! Protect General Jackson!”

With Jackson’s fall, his guards immediately stopped their horses and divided into two parts, one shot back in the direction of Victor, the other immediately dismounted and began to organize around Jackson’s body. A line of defense was established.

In the moment when Jackson fell, Victor knew that his task had been half completed, and the rest generally required him to complete it by himself: to ensure that Jackson would not be taken back to the south to heal.

“Last time, Mrs. Greenhow return alive to the South. This time, I will definitely not give you another chance, ‘Stone Wall’ Jackson.”

With that said, Victor took the full command of Colonel Edward to take the prototype gun back as a javelin and shot it to the officer, who was obviously the head of Jackson’s guard.

Then he stretched out his claws and threw himself directly from the tall tree toward the place where the ‘Stone Wall’ Jackson fell.

At this time, Jackson’s guards also found that there was only one attacker, and rushed out innocently, they immediately made a decision.

The people, who have already gone to the ground, immediately escorted the ‘Stone Wall’ Jackson’s camp for treatment, and they immediately went to kill the ‘assassin’, who was very reckless and stupid despite his good shooting skills.

The guards who dealt with Victor soon discovered that they were truly stupid, because he was not a stupid and reckless assassin at all.

This is a monster. He first culled directly from the air, killed the southern soldier, who was rushing to the front, and then smashed the second soldier and his horse on the ground with the momentum of the horse.

The murderous and bloody gas emitted from his body made the war horses frightened, they stood still, and finally let his master be bloodied by the Sabertooth Tiger.

Although the Southern Army cavalry, who rushed over the horses, had lost some hands and feet, Victor did not lose his goal. He successfully caught up with the guards, who were retreating with injured Jackson.

The guards, who discovered that Victor had chased, knew that their companions were already died, so they left one of the strongest companions to continue to evacuate with the ‘Stone Wall’ Jackson, then rushed back and tried to use their lives to stop Victor’s hunt for ‘Stone Wall’ Jackson. After all, he is not far from their camp.
