In Serpent’s Haven’s night sky, the containers' parachutes opened up, slowly descending onto the island. Remote-controlled drones were on the scene, relaying endless video feeds to headquarters. The sky bathed in moonlight became a lot less peaceful, and everyone hiding inside the containers was quietly waiting for their own container to land.***Back at Novemton headquarters, Crystal and the others were sitting inside the command room, quietly watching the video feed from the drones. Everyone seemed very tense, worried whether the enemy would notice the parachutes. The moment they were spotted, everyone's lives depended solely on the bertrandium's capabilities. The female anchor of Novemton News held her breath, staggering as she said, "War Legate Draco and his team have commenced the paradrop. It would seem as though the enemy hasn't noticed their presence. But over the next few minutes, the enemy radars will detect them."Those watching the news remained silent as though afr
Ivy did her best to maintain communication with Lena.A war was slowly brewing in the night sky.***At the mountaintop of Serpent's Haven was a temporary base constructed out of tents. This place was in charge of scanning the surroundings through their radars. They were also the assassins in charge of locating Lucas, Steel, and the others. Their mission was to capture one of Wyvern Peak's battle warriors alive.There were guards taking care of the base that night, with people patrolling around the tents. Suddenly, the radar sounded, which attracted everyone’s attention."What's going on?""We've got movement.""The radar shows more than a thousand points in the air… Something seems to be descending via parachutes.""We have unidentified objects trying to land on Serpent's Haven! "I repeat! We have unidentified objects trying to land on Serpent's Haven!""Alert!""Alert!"Instantly, alarms blared throughout the camp, and a group of outland assassins gathered and left the ten
The moment Ivy dropped, all the workers inside Novemton headquarters, including scientists and professors, quickly calculated where she had landed. Crystal's fists were clenched and a frown adorned her face. Novemton News' anchor excitedly yelled, "The enemy has spotted us! The sky is being hurled with rains of fire, piercing through the parachutes and causing the containers to fall at high speeds! The real battle has begun!" 'It has started!'Everyone waited with bated breaths.***Meanwhile, endless fireballs streaked across the sky. They hit the parachutes and containers, and the massive attacks caused huge explosions on the bertrandium containers. Adrian heard his men reporting one after another."Sir, my parachute's been hit and I'm falling!""My parachute's damaged. I'm falling real fast!""Me too!" Hearing these reports, he said, "We've already anticipated for such a thing to happen, so stay calm, everyone. Your containers have been specially modified to dampen i
A number of drones arrived at different corners of Serpent's Haven outer areas the moment the containers landed. Some were taken down upon being discovered by the enemies, while some continued to push on deeper into the island. Those watching the news were extremely calm and silent. Time seemed to have stopped for them.Meanwhile, back at Novemton headquarters, Crystal was extremely tense as she said, "Adrian! Adrian! Talk to me! What's your situation?"Yet, nobody responded. She quickly turned around and said, "Assess their physical conditions, now!""I'm sorry, Your Majesty, but the equipment on them was all destroyed on impact. I can't use the remote function to find out how they're doing."Crystal took a deep breath and continued, "Draco, report!""Gloria!""Mya!""Somebody! Report to me!"The entire world could hear Crystal's voice, and everyone standing before their television screens was waiting for someone to answer her.After about two minutes, Adrian's voice rang
Following the voice, more than a dozen men walked out of the woods. They were carrying flashlights, searching for the container that had landed there. Upon seeing this, Adrian quickly activated his container's mechanism and stepped out while the others had not noticed him or his container yet. The leader of the group scoured the place until finally, they found the container."Look! Over here! I've found it!""Hurry, hurry…""How the hell is the container so tough? How did it manage to get away with only slight deformities after falling from such a height?"A few of them were rather shocked.They surrounded the container, while the leader spoke through his communicator. "Headquarters, do you read me? We've found a container at point 45.""Headquarters here. Inspect the containers and report back if you come across any problems.""Roger." The leader put down his communicator and gestured for his men to study the container carefully. Right as they were about to do so, one of th
At that moment, more than a hundred men in Wyvern Peak's battle suits had set up camp on one of the mountains. They had built themselves a temporary base inside a mountain cave.There were several men standing watch around the cave. Inside, Lucas was lying on the floor with blood all over him. He seemed extremely weak. He then heard his men excitedly discussing something outside. "Klause, what are they talking about? Why do they seem so excited?" Lucas asked weakly, having been severely injured after the Eight Hollows had flanked him. He would be dead if his comrades had not sacrificed themselves to protect him.Lucas was rather curious why his men were so happily discussing something outside. Klause, who was a competent soldier under Lucas, smiled and said, "Sir, there were parachutes all over the sky earlier. More than a thousand airdrop containers dropped onto Serpent's Haven, and Dragon Peak tried to attack the containers. That should mean that our reinforcements have arriv
Klause was about to lead his men to point 218 for a search and rescue when something unexpected happened…A Wyvern Peak soldier patrolling nearby rushed back and said, "Sir, we've got trouble. Ronaldo Seusse's team has located our base, and five hundred men have surrounded us. The other units on the island are also on the move. We have to switch locations now!"Klause staggered to a halt when he heard this.Lucas took a deep breath and asked, "Did you manage to contact Steel?""Battle Warrior Steel is probably on the other side of the island, making it very hard for us to reach him. We have to retreat at once, sir, before it's too late!""But what about our comrade at point 218?" Lucas asked. Klause took a deep breath. He was planning on going to point 218 to help, but now, it would seem as though they were in a precarious position themselves. If they tried to assist any further, it would surely spell death for them.He replied, "Sir, for the sake of the bigger picture, we must
There were squadrons of men made up of various outland organizations actively roaming the island. They were slowly closing in on Lucas, Steel, and the others until they had no more place to run. A few shadows swiftly flitted through the dark rainforest as remote-controlled drones recorded the island's activities from above. Through the live video feed, everyone in Novemton could see Adrian swiftly dashing through the darkness.He looked like a wild beast dashing in and out of the forest as he headed for point 218. Gloria, Mya, Blaze, Ivy, and the others had met up.Novemton News' anchor was in high spirits as she commented on their rescue mission. "Right now, the enemy has noticed our airdrop containers and is searching for them. However, our people are slowly reuniting with one another—Gloria Thompson, Mya Dean, Alan Cook, and Blaze being a few of them. Currently, they're all headed for point 218 to save Lena Williams the biologist."The rustling sound of someone dashing throug
