Without turning the lights on, a convoy moved past Battle Group B's camp toward the beach. Its speed was also limited below 40 km/h in order to maintain silence. Considering that the opposing's corvette was only 1.5 km from the coastline and the wind was moving towards them.

In total, the convoy consists of:

62 units M1151 Armament Carrier equipped with Medium Machine Gun M240 7.62 mm or Automatic Grenade Launcher Mk 19 40 mm,

30 units 5-ton trucks carrying two 600-men squadrons of Buriek Archer,

and

16 units M1152 Cargo carrying two batteries of Tuscan Molotov Catapult.

As soon as the convoy reached a distance of 200 meters from the shore, the M1151 Armament Carriers immediately took a position side by side with a distance of 6 meters, while Buriek Archer and Batteries of Molotov Catapult took position behind it.

These blocking elements were in charge of repelling any reinforcement sent by Battle Group B, in case they notice that their camp was under attack. Overall, the blocking elements were able to launch a high-volume fire for 30 minutes before they were running out of ammo. Then, they had to retreat, following other elements that had retreated first.

From one of the M1151 M240, Captain Hans sent a radio call, "Sierra Echo to Vanguard Leader, do you copy?"

[I read you Sierra Echo, go ahead.]

"We are in position, no opposition in sight, so we will sit tight for a while."

[Copy that Sierra Echo, please watch our back and stay in touch.]

"Received and understood, Sierra Echo over and out."

At the same time, three convoys of trucks, each one was carrying a 900-men squadron of Buriek Guards, approached the gates of Battle Group B's camp on the north, east, and west sides. As soon as each convoy arrived at their designated gate, several members of Buriek Guard immediately climbed up the camp's wall made of wooden blocks and opened the main gate. Then, the rest of the Buriek Guard personnel entered the camp.

At the west gate, Captain Akrei walked into Battle Group B's camp accompanied by the six lieutenants under his command, and without turning his head he said, "Drek, tell me your job?"

Lieutenant Drek immediately replied, "Secure the south wall and send the safe signal to opposing's corvette using visual communication."

"Have you got the example of the signal you should use?"

"I have." Lieutenant Drek showed footage on his tablet as he continued, "Lagra Castle just sent it. It's easy enough to imitate and the next safe signal should be sent in 52 minutes."

Captain Akrei nodded and then said, "Drek, I don't care how you will do it, but be careful, if you mess it up you will jeopardize the whole operation."

"Roger that, Sir, and please believe in me, you can count on me."

"Good, you can go."

Wasting no time, Lieutenant Drek immediately led the second company to the south wall.

Meanwhile, Captain Akrei continued his short briefing to his Lieutenants, "We don't have a lot of time, so stick to the plan and don't mess it up, or I will draw a nice red smile in your throat."

"""As your command, Sir."""

"Good, you can start the fun then."

"""Aye sir."""

Without delay, the five Lieutenants placed an archer platoon on the rooftops and then led the rest of their company's members to sweep the camp. At the same time, Captain Akrei continued his walk, followed by the first company which was under his direct command.

'Let's bag some high-ranking officers,' Captain Akrei muttered as he quickened his pace.

When the Kingdom of Buriek invaded Sandhur Region, they had built a basecamp in Sandhur Beach. This basecamp was able to accommodate 50,000 personnel and supporting logistics for 10 months. And until the end of the conflict, TF Amethyst never attacked this basecamp.

Even though after that there were only five squadrons of 900-men Buriek Guards stationed at the basecamp, the maintenance of the facilities and construction at the camp was carried out properly. So, when Battle Group B took over it, they could immediately started to pile up troops, equipment, and logistics.

The basecamp walls were indeed only made of wooden logs and footholds for wall defenders were only wooden planks supported by wooden poles, but fortunately TF Amethyst had proven reluctant to attack targets protected by human shields, and so the fragile wall was not a big problem.

But now, Battle Group B's personnel were slaughtered without being able to put up a fight. The three 900-men squadrons that carried out the sweeping were former residents of the camp, so they were well acquainted with the layout of the camp and the sweeping could be done systematically.

It didn't matter if it was the personnel lying on the ground, sleeping in the barracks, guarding the outer walls, or lying around in other posts, all of them were killed using their own weapons.

Stabbb!!

After thrusting a spear into a chest of a Battle Group B's personnel lying in front of a barracks, a young Buriek Guard then looked at the small money bag on his victim's waist before turning into his Centurion.

"Sir, do we really won't collect any loot?"

"Yes, we won't. Don't forget that TF Amethyst magic only works for 20 minutes." The Centurion looked at his wristwatch before continuing, "And not much time left."

Another member of Buriek Guard immediately said, "Sir, if we just take the personal money bag, I think we can still complete our tasks on schedule."

The Centurion answered, "The time you use to take the money bag is more than enough to get another kill. And like I said, we don't have time for any distraction. Too many targets to eliminate and too large area to cover."

The Centurion was an experienced combatant, so he realized that when one person took a loot, others would immediately followed to collect some spoils as well. Then, before long it would become competition, and it was not uncommon for fights to occur.

Moreover, taking the spoils before every single hostiles were eliminated was a stupid action that could not be forgiven.

"Keep your discipline in the line, or get out of my platoon."

The Centurion sternly said, then looked at the barracks in front of him before leading his platoon into it and continuing the massacre.

Not long after that, the incapacitating gas effect that was expected to affect Battle Group B's personnel for 20 minutes ended, and the surviving personnel immediately woke up. Fortunately, the number of these survivors was less than three thousand and they panicked upon seeing the corpses of their comrades.

The survivors did not organize any resistance at all. Most of them immediately fell victim to the Buriek Archer who stood by on the rooftops of some buildings, while the rest chose to throw their weapons to surrender.

It was easy enough for Captain Akrei to find out where the high-ranking officers of Battle Group B were, as aerial surveillance showed they chose his old HQ as their command post. Then, in less than 20 minutes his men finished the job.

The high-ranking officers and other personnel in the command post were easily secured, and they all received the same treatment. Their mouths were sealed with a duct tape, while their hands were tied with cable ties. And now, they were sitting on the floor in the corner of the room.

Several high-ranking officers had made a fuss in protest of the inappropriate treatment they had received, and now they were lying unconciously next to their comrades with their faces and bodies covered in bruises.

In addition to the captives, maps and various important documents were packed into a large waterproof bag.

Then Captain Akrei was sitting casually near one of his men manning the crystal communication. Not long after that, Captain of Van Two Squadron, sent him a radio call.

[Van Two to Vanguard Leader, how copy?]

Wasting no time, Captain Akrei immediately pressed the PTT button in his chest, "Loud and clear, Van Two, go ahead."

[Area Two is secure, we have some prisoners, and no casualties.]

"Good job, be vigilant and start the second phase in Area Two."

[Copy that, Van Two over and out.]

Then, Captain of Van Three Squadron also reported via radio.

[Van Three to Vanguard Leader, do you copy?]

"Loud and clear, Van Three, go ahead."

[Area Three is secure, we have some prisoners, and no casualties.]

"Good job, stand by and start the second phase in Area Three."

[Received and understood, Van Three over and out.]

A moment later, Captain Akrei reported to Lt. Col. Luther that command element, paramedic, and the rest of the element were green to enter the camp.
