Clutching her rifle, Flossie Wright leaned back with a languid and calm expression, looking as if she wasn’t on a mission at all.
Actually—
Ella Pemberton had somewhat misunderstood Flossie Wright.
Flossie Wright was competitive in training because she simply wanted to improve her skills while treating Nancy Phillips and Jessie Grain as temporary targets. Her desire to win pushed her to work harder and grow faster.
However, to others, these live missions might seem exciting, but to Flossie Wright, there was nothing worth looking forward to.
The Flossie of the past emerged through real combat, where one shot could determine life or death, harsh and brutal, and all the blood was real.
By comparison, Flossie Wright was more passionate about blank ammunition and those exercises unrelated to life and death.
Therefore—
She was not keen on becoming a sniper.
The quiet of about ten minutes made everyone inside the helicopter feel as if time was dragging on interminably.
After ten minutes, around twenty people airdropped from the helicopter and landed on the deck of the vessel that had been prepared in advance.
Like them, the helicopter of the male team had reached the deck just a step ahead of theirs.
Land, assemble.
Fifty people neatly arranged into ten columns of five.
Bard Walker was not there, and among the veteran soldiers qualified to lead the team, there was only Franklin Cody, so as soon as they arrived on the deck and assembled, both teams were temporarily commanded by Ella Pemberton.
No sooner had they formed the lines than a military officer approached and exchanged salutes with Ella Pemberton.
"How is the negotiation going?" Ella Pemberton asked directly.
"Those pirates are asking for too much. The situation isn’t looking good," the officer sighed deeply, speaking to her sincerely, "I’m afraid it’s going to require your intervention."
Ella Pemberton nodded seriously.
Quickly, the officer briefed her on the situation in the most concise language.
The pirates’ ship was nearby, and only half of the hostages were visible, while the fishing boat and the other four fishermen were taken somewhere by the pirates, and the search team was now secretly looking for them.
Now, a team was sent to negotiate on the pirates’ ship. Based on the monitoring equipment, the two sides kept disagreeing on the price, and the gradually increasing strength of our forces made the pirates nervous, with their emotions becoming more and more heated.
After explaining the situation, the officer’s walkie-talkie began to buzz.
"Report, the whereabouts of the pirates and the hostages have been discovered, on an island in the ten o’clock direction from the ship. I repeat, the whereabouts of the pirates and the hostages have been found, on an island in the ten o’clock direction from the ship."
"Received." Hearing this news, the always serious-faced officer finally relaxed a bit and immediately said, "Send the coordinates over."
"Could you split your people into two teams?"
After ending the call, the officer looked at Ella Pemberton.
Although he phrased it as a request, the tone was unmistakably assertive.
This was not the open sea; rampant pirates had come into their national territory to seize ships. If this matter wasn’t handled properly, it could be a disgrace for their nation in front of the whole world.
Therefore—
Failure was not an option!
This was a matter of national reputation, not just a simple mission!
Ella Pemberton had already realized the gravity of the mission and was fully prepared mentally, so she nodded without hesitation, "Yes, we can."
"Thank you for your efforts."
The officer extended his hand to her.

Ella Pemberton shook hands with him.
After a brief exchange, Ella Pemberton returned to the front of the team, exuding an air of swift efficiency, and divided the fifty people into two groups.
