Reincarnated with the Country System-Chapter 173: Operation Noble Dawn

The aircraft carrier *Midway* (CV-41) is underway at sea. Its decks are bustling with activity.

It is 0200 hours. The special operations team, led by Captain Morgan, has assembled on the deck of the aircraft carrier.

The team consists of 12 members—skilled in close combat, explosives, communications, and medical support. They are dressed in black tactical clothing, night vision goggles, and balaclavas covering their faces. Each carries a silenced MP7 submachine gun, a sidearm, and a combat knife.

Captain Morgan stands in front of his team.

The team stands at attention.

"Listen," he begins. "Tonight, we step into the darkness. This is an important mission. We carry the hope of those who cannot fight for themselves. We carry the burden of justice on our shoulders. And we carry the unwavering faith that no fortress, no matter how strong, can not stop us."

He paused. "We are going to Fort George. Elysian's most powerful fortress. Remember—we will enter, rescue the prisoners, and return safely. No unnecessary risks."

He moved closer to his team, his eyes locking with theirs. "Remember this: Fort George's walls may be thick, but they are nothing compared to the strength of our spirit. The hostages there—they are counting on us. Their families are counting on us. And most importantly, our great Emperor has trusted us to complete this. We will not fail them."

Morgan raised his fist, his voice rising. "For the Empire! For the Emperor!"

For the Empire!

For the Emperor!

The team also raised their fists and shouted.

The mission was underway.

A V-22 Osprey aircraft was waiting for them.

Without another word, the team entered the Osprey.

The aircraft began to fly.

It took them 30 minutes to reach their target.

The Osprey descended to an altitude of 500 feet in the dark sky. They were approaching the fort.

The Special Forces members prepared.

"Everyone. We are approaching the LZ. Altitude 500 feet. Prepare for HALO jump. Over."

Captain Morgan, "Copy. Everyone, stand by for the jump. Check your gear. Over."

"Roger that. Opening rear ramp in 10 seconds. Prepare for jump. Over."

Captain Morgan, "Ok, move to the ramp. On my signal, we jump. Over."

"Ramp is open. Green light. Go, go, go!"

One by one, the operatives jumped, their parachutes deploying silently.

They landed in the dense forest, quickly checked their equipment, and headed towards the fort.

The east wall of Fort George.

The team united and scaled the 30-foot-high wall with grappling hooks.

Once inside, the team split into two.

Squad Alpha, led by Captain Morgan, advanced to the prisoner position.

Squad Bravo, led by Lieutenant Harper, took on the task of creating confusion and neutralizing the enemy.

Squad Alpha moved forward along the dark corridors, continuing through secret tunnels rather than the main path. The air was damp, the walls were covered with rusted pipes and cobwebs.

Suddenly, they saw two Krig guards patrolling the corridor.

The operatives stood silently, pressed against the wall. After the guards had passed by, Squad Alpha moved forward.

They pulled out a blueprint of the castle, which the Prime Minister of Britannia had given them. They followed this blueprint.

They passed through the vast hall and finally reached their objective. Since it was late at night, there were no slaves around, and all who were there were Krig guards.

They saw four Krig guards standing in front of a large iron door. Three of the guards were standing still, and one was sitting on the floor. They were busy talking to each other.

Alpha Team took their position. Silently. They silenced the guards in an instant. Every shot was perfect. Headshot.

After finishing off the guards, they cautiously approached the door.

They took out an anti-magic distraction device from the bag on their backs and attached it to the door. It emitted blue light that drained the power of the runes. The magical barrier on the door broke.

Then a soldier placed explosives on the door hinges.

There was a muffled explosion, and the door opened. Squad Alpha rushed in, guns raised.

Inside were many rows of bunks where the prisoners were sleeping. They were awakened by the sound of slamming. They were all frightened and panicked.

"Stay calm," Captain Morgan said, "We have come to rescue you."

Captain Morgan reported on his radio:

"Bravo Actual, this is Alpha Actual. We've secured the prisoners. Proceeding to extraction point. Over."

Then Morgan shone his light on the prisoners, trying to see their faces, but he did not find the person he was looking for.

He then said, "Do any of you know where Princess Elina is? Is she here?"

Then a noble came forward trembling and said, "I heard from a maid that she is in one of the upper rooms of the castle. I am not sure which room she is in."

Morgan then activated his radio again. "Bravo this is Alpha. We have found the princess. She is on the upper floor of the castle."

"Copy that. We'll meet you at the tunnel. Over."

...….....

Squad Bravo cautiously started to move up.

As they moved forward, they saw two guards near the stairs.

One cautiously pulled out a knife and held one of the guards in the face, stabbing him in the neck several times until he became dead.

Then he killed the other guard before he could even realize it.

Then they started to move up the stairs.

After they climbed up, they saw several more guards in the corridor. There was a whole group here.

The number of guards here had been increased due to Elina's escape attempt.

The Bravo Squad members looked at each other and nodded.

Then they gripped their guns tightly and started firing.

In an instant, all the guards fell to the ground before they could react.

♦♦♦

A secret tunnel ran from the bottom of the fort to the sea.

Squad Alpha and nobles followed down that path.

But before they could reach the tunnel entrance, they encountered their final obstacle.

Krig Guard squad blocked their path. Captain Morgan gave the signal, the nobles stayed behind, and the operatives silently advanced.

Suddenly, silent shots from suppressed MP7s rang out, killing the enemies one by one. As soon as the path was clear, the team entered the tunnel. Two big Rigid inflatable boats were waiting for them there.

The nobles boarded a boat. However, they were not leaving yet because they were waiting for the Bravo Team here.

Captain Morgan (radio), "Bravo Actual, this is Alpha Actual. We're at the tunnel with the nobles. Awaiting your arrival. Over."

...

Lieutenant Harper signalled for the team to halt as they approached a grand, arched doorway. Beyond it stood a figure clad in dark, ornate armourr, his presence radiating an overwhelming aura of power.

It was the Krig Commander.

His blade, a shimmering longsword etched with runes, glowed faintly in the dim light.

"So, the Queen sends its rats to scurry through my fortress. How quaint." His voice was calm, almost mocking, as he stepped forward, his blade resting casually on his shoulder. "You should have stayed in the shadows. Now, you will die in the light."

Lieutenant Harper raised his silenced MP7, without replying. His team fanning out behind him. "Move aside, or we'll move you."

The Krig Commander smirked. "Bold words for men who rely on toys instead of skill."

With a flick of his wrist, his blade came alive, glowing with a fierce, golden Aura. The air around him seemed to warp, and the pressure in the room intensified. Bravo Team felt the weight of his presence, but they stood their ground.

Harper signaled his team to open fire. Silenced shots rang out, but the Krig Commander moved with inhuman speed, his blade deflecting bullets with precise, almost casual movements. Sparks flew as the projectiles ricocheted off his Aura-infused sword.

"Is this all you have?" he taunted, his voice echoing through the chamber. He lunged forward, his blade slicing through the air with a deafening *whoosh*.

One of the Bravo Team operatives barely dodged, the blade cutting through his tactical vest and drawing blood.

"Fall back! Flank him!"

They fired in coordinated bursts, forcing him to divide his attention.

The Krig Commander's patience wore thin. He raised his free hand, and a wave of golden Aura erupted from his body, slamming into Bravo Team like a tidal wave. Two operatives were thrown against the wall, their weapons clattering to the ground. The others staggered but held their ground.

"You insects dare challenge me? I am the storm that breaks armies!" His voice boomed as he charged, his blade leaving afterimages in the air. He struck with blinding speed, forcing Harper and his team to retreat.

"Grenades! Now!" Harper shouted, pulling a flashbang from his belt.

The team followed suit, tossing flashbangs and smoke grenades into the room. The chamber erupted in blinding light and thick smoke, momentarily disorienting the Krig Commander.

Harper and two of his most skilled operatives closed in, their combat knives drawn. The Krig Commander, though momentarily blinded, relied on his heightened senses and Aura to detect their movements. He parried a knife strike with his blade, then countered with a sweeping kick that sent one operative sprawling.

Harper feinted left, then lunged forward, aiming for the Krig Commander's exposed side. The blade grazed his armour, but the Aura shield absorbed most of the impact. The Krig Commander retaliated with a powerful slash, forcing Harper to dive backwards.

Realizing they couldn't defeat him head-on, Harper signalled his team to fall back. "Switch to plan B!" he ordered. The operatives pulled out specialized equipment—EMP devices designed to disrupt Aura users. They activated the devices, sending out pulses of energy that interfered with the Krig Commander's Aura.

Krig Commander, "What is this?!" he growled, his Aura flickering as the devices disrupted his energy flow. He staggered, his movements slowing for the first time.

"Now! Hit him with everything!" Harper shouted. The team unleashed a barrage of gunfire, grenades, and close-quarters attacks. The Krig Commander, now vulnerable, struggled to defend himself. His blade moved frantically, deflecting some attacks but not all. Blood dripped from a wound on his shoulder.

Enraged, the Krig Commander roared, his Aura flaring back to life despite the disruption. He charged at Harper, his blade aimed for a killing strike. Harper braced himself, raising his knife to block, but he knew it wouldn't be enough.

At the last moment, one of the Bravo Team operatives tackled the Krig Commander from the side, throwing off his aim. The blade missed Harper by inches, embedding itself in the stone wall. Harper seized the opportunity, driving his knife into the Krig Commander's side, just below his armour.

"You… dare…" Krig Commander gasped, his Aura flickering and fading. He collapsed to his knees, his blade slipping from his grasp.

"For the Emperor," Harper said coldly, delivering the final blow.
