Ashgard: Ambition and Purpose
A Pattern #227
Western District, Apartment Area, Port Area, and Commercial District. Suddenly and in less than five minutes, precisely at eleven o'clock in the afternoon, with the weather still raining heavily. The four regions that were the vanguard of the perimeter ring, directly received a surprise attack. A group of armed men, entered all four regions at the same time, and made a mess there. Communities or civilians who saw the incident immediately ran, scattered and looked for a place to shelter or hide. Although the gunmen have not fired or fired a single bullet, no one will ever know when they will fire, and where or to whom they will fire.
Yes, a group behind the attack is the Red Rascals, very identical to the red jackets they wear. They came, entered every shop, confronted every civilian they saw, and then seized all the property they could seize. They also appear to be unrelenting to anyone, male or female, young or old, all of whom can still be targets for their crimes. Even they do not look reluctant to hurt anyone who blocks it, even they will not hesitate to kill anyone who gets in the way.
Berlin has received reports of attacks in all four regions simultaneously, not just received or heard, but he has also seen firsthand how the gunmen wreaked havoc and fear for the surrounding community. All he can see through the roof of a parking building located quite far from the district center.
"What should we do? What's your direction, Boss ...?!" sasha asked, standing right behind Berlin.
Under the pouring intensity of rain that still remains the same. Berlin took his communications radio from inside the pocket of the black coat he was wearing, and then spoke, "we're going to step back a bit and give it some distance, no one puts up a fight before there is an order to do so ...!"
Ashgard, those who heard the command from Berlin obeyed him and obeyed him. However, it is different from the special team entrusted from the police. Selected personnel actually look confused by the direction they hear. Yet still they did, and followed their Ashgard counterparts to step back a little.
Berlin's gaze was sharp, looking at the Commercial District ahead which was currently in turmoil. The shops that he had gone through some time before, had now become the target of the plunder of those red-jackets. Not only shops, but civilians who do not know anything are also the target of their robbery.
"That's all?" cetus Sasha, frowning his forehead, looked at the man standing behind him with a puzzled look at the orders and directions Berlin gave.
"Come here, and see what I see ...!" pinta Berlin with flat intonation, without even looking at Sasha from earlier standing behind him.
Sasha stepped forward, and then stopped when it was directly adjacent to Berlin. His gaze then headed in the same direction as Berlin, watching the glass of the Commercial District that was in front of it.
"You see their pattern?" berlin asked with a slight glance towards his female companion who was currently standing beside him.
"Pattern?" sahut Sasha, puzzled, with a gaze still watching the commotion.
Berlin looked back at the chaos ahead and said, "they haven't - or rather haven't fired at all."
"The red-jacketed men were focused only on grabbing, taking what they could, and robbing some stores with bluffs and threats. But still not shooting" continued Berlin, speaking with a very calm attitude and intonation.
"What does that mean? They didn't attack the trial according to the plan written in the book?" sasha asked, looking at the man standing next to her.
Berlin shook his head and replied, "no, they don't want to attack directly, and it's likely that they want to make the most of the time."
"You guys are really sneaky, I admit it, Felix." Berlin suddenly muttered for a moment after laughing. Then he turned to Sasha and said, "have Kent and the two men come here ...! I have something to discuss."
"Well, come soon ...!" sahut Sasha, then moved away and contacted his partner using a mobile phone.
"Remember, you can't attack yet, so please control your passions and emotions!" berlin said again using radio communication with flat intonation but impressed very firm. The warning was heard by all Ashgard personnel or members.
"Three people have been contacted, and are walking towards here" said Sasha, finished contacting Kent and the two officers from the security forces.
"Well," said Berlin, then grabbed his hand-held phone to send word to someone.

"Sir, we have news that there is an attack outside the perimeter ring" whispered Prawira, re-entering the courtroom and whispering to Garwig who is still in the same position as before.
Hearing this, Garwig who had previously been engrossed in watching the trial was immediately left the courtroom, and out of the courthouse.
"What about Ashgard? How are they doing?" garwig asked, stepping and standing in the middle of the main courtyard of the building, under the torrent of rain that was still the same.
"They positioned themselves slightly backwards, as well as monitoring the situation. Because the Red Rascals don't look like they're actually attacking, they're intentionally creating chaos." Prawira answered the question, taking the phone out of her pocket, and showing a portrait of an image sent by someone.
Garwig saw a portrait of the picture that featured what Prawira said, "who sent this photo?"
"Berlin's."
