Chapter 410: Meeting Face to Face
The big truck slammed into the cars covering Talia’s car before she could finish asking when the drivers of the cars are getting off.
It seemed like they weren’t planning to get off. The cars were armoured cars with a heavy build and they could withstand the impact from the truck and they were still running. The drivers pushed the truck farther from Talia’s car, fearing there might be explosives.
"Hold on to this, Your Highness. And protect yourself using any means possible. Don’t care for others and use them as shields to protect yourself," Mr. Ed placed the handgun Louis gave her in her hand. She had asked Mr. Ed to hold on to it for her. He then helped her wear a Kevlar vest.
"And remember Princess, I will be the last line of defence protecting you, but if you see me get hurt, don’t stop to give me first-aid and run! Run as far as you can towards the village we just left."
Talia felt the seriousness of the issue she is facing only after this. She is not in a place where when her bodyguards get immobilised, the cops might reach her to help. A wave of fear washed over her.
Fred is definitely not near! I must protect myself!
The truck didn’t explode making everyone sigh in relief and they got orders to move forward. The Ranger with them said that there will be more attacks since the militia targeting them are known for their Guerrilla Tactics.
With already half of the motorcade damaged, their defence has pretty much weakened. But they can’t be sitting ducks and they started moving to the front.
But before they even moved a hundred meters, they saw bursts of sand popping from their side and before they could get a sense of what was going on, they were showered with bullets from automatic weapons.
"Did they pop out from underground?" Talia was surprised, but she was pushed to the floor of the car by Mr. Ed and he placed a helmet on her head. They were in an armoured car, but that doesn’t mean it is impenetrable. The glasses could only take so much and so they needed to get out to protect the car before the glass breaks.
Talia was stunned by the loud noise made by hundreds of bullets hitting the car and it seemed like it would never stop. Like hailstones falling from the sky, the bullets kept on hitting.
