Counterfeit Hero

Under the stunned gaze of all the prisoners, Tian Xingjian took down the game controller, closed the cell door, casually picked up an energy gun, and walked toward a cell not far away.

The once-dancing automatic patrol guns, which spun around like puppets under the control of mechanical arms, now seemed lifeless, staying still as the eerie Fatty wandered through them. Every prisoner realized that a jailbreak shocking enough to rattle all of Gazalin was unfolding right before their eyes.

A prisoner from cell D7 was already waiting at the door. Seeing Fatty approach, he opened the cell door that had been wedged shut with an iron piece and stepped out. The other prisoners in the same cell, intimidated by the energy gun in Fatty’s hands, wisely maintained the necessary silence.

Soon, more than thirty well-trained Freedom Fighters emerged from their cells in batches as planned, picked up energy guns, and occupied every corridor and staircase. Tian Xingjian had completely taken control of the entire cell block. Next, nearly twenty Imperial Nobles, including Prince Sidney and his eldest son Leonardo, along with sixteen high-ranking military officials, were freed.

These nobles and military officials still had a dazed expression as they walked out of their cells. Although they had known about this operation in advance, when everything happened miraculously before their eyes, they were still shocked! Looking at the guards’ corpses strewn on the ground, at the quickly and orderly moving Freedom Fighters, at the wretched Fatty, everyone felt like they were in a dream.

One couldn’t rely on the combat capabilities of the nobles, and most of the high-ranking military officials were past the age where the sight of a woman could excite them. The days of carrying a gun were as distant as a previous life. Therefore, Tian Xingjian had Elliot divide them into two groups, issued each a gun, and their role was cannon fodder or to watch the prisoners during the Freedom Fighters’ battle.

Tian Xingjian harbored nothing but malice towards these Gazalin people whom he risked his life to rescue. In his eyes, their lives were worth less than his own, and he wouldn’t hesitate to abandon these unlucky bastards at a critical moment to escape himself, leaving only a few behind if necessary.

All the energy guns were gathered, and even the automatic patrol guns were ordered by Tian Xingjian to be dismantled. Before the Freedom Front outside launched an attack on the prison and the transport ship arrived, Tian Xingjian had to lead the prisoners to hold the entire cell block.

However, even as all the Freedom Fighters grew impatient with waiting, no attack came.

Fatty had initially estimated that it would take about five minutes for the guards outside to detect the abnormality in the cell block and begin their attack. Because Fatty had taken over the surveillance system that shared a mechanical arm with the automatic patrol gun, the central control room was only viewing a frozen frame right before the guards fired, with no one knowing what was actually happening in the cell block. The guards’ reaction time was enough for the Freedom Fighters to arm themselves and take over the cell block.

Afterward, dozens of Freedom Front squads were prepared to simultaneously attack military targets in Tanville, throwing the entire city into chaos and mobilizing the stationed troops to cover the Freedom Front’s main force’s assault on the prison. With internal and external coordination and with the support of a medium-sized transport ship, the prison break from Abnosk Prison could be completed before the enemy reacted.
