Alpha Wolf led the Pioneer Corps to the vicinity of the first faction in short order.
It was an abandoned factory.
The factory stood on a hillside. According to their current intelligence, it housed roughly seventy to eighty thugs.
With one kilometer still to go, everyone in the Pioneer Corps concealed their vehicles, took the ammunition they needed, and crept toward the factory.
Phantom took his scout squad ahead to reconnoiter.
Under Alpha Wolf's lead, the others edged closer, using the mountain's trees and undergrowth for cover.
By now, the sky had gone completely dark.
The darkness concealed all their movements.
Finally, the main force stopped two hundred meters from the factory.
Phantom had marked the positions of two sentries.
Hawk Eye led two trainee snipers to find firing positions and lock onto their targets.
"No. 2 has a lock on the rooftop target on the factory's right side."
"No. 3 has a lock on the rooftop target on the factory's left side."
Once the two sentries were in their sights, Phantom sent another message.
[Phantom: Watch out. This one seems to be a machine-gun sentry! There also seems to be someone behind the sheet-metal wall.] [Hawk Eye: Copy!]
As Hawk Eye locked onto the third sentry,
Phantom finished marking out a safe route.
Bedrock led the fire assault squad toward the factory's main gate.
Trap and Roar crept off in another direction.

Going in through there was too risky.
Bedrock's squad would draw the enemy's initial fire.
Trap and Roar were targeting the perimeter wall on the factory's right
