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
At the same time, on a mountain along Northrive's natural moat stood a temporary outpost with eight young men and women laying low. Among them was a short-haired woman around nineteen years old. She was chewing gum and had a phone to her ear, speaking with Crystal at headquarters."Hello?" Crystal said."Hello, Your Majesty. My name is Maggie Cullens. I'm from an unofficial team of hackers. Our drone has entered Serpent's Haven, and it’s special. I can get War Legate Draco to point 218 in under a minute," Maggie said with a smile. "Can I trust you?""I swear to you in the name of my team's ideals. Please ask the legate to grab onto my drone, and I'll be able to fly him low and fast. He'll arrive at point 218 in no time. Please, you have to trust me."There was no time for Crystal to consider Maggie's intentions, plus it would take the various social platforms a lot more time to find the fastest route. Hence, she replied, "Maggie, is it? Okay, I trust you, but you have to understa
‘Just a little more!'Adrian could see the container laying against a rock at that moment. There were enemies getting very close to it, about less than a hundred and sixty feet away. “It won’t hold much longer!" Maggie yelled. Adrian's eyes glimmered. The drone had already transported him above the container. "What's your name, little lady? I’ll remember this deed you have done.""Maggie Cullen. Come find me when you're back and let's have some fun!" Maggie giggled. Immediately after, Adrian let go of the drone and landed on the ground with a loud thud. On his way down, he reached out and drew two daggers from his back. His landing was very smooth as though a god had descended.Maggie's drone slammed against a tree and was destroyed upon Adrian's landing. At the same time…"Someone's here!" An enemy who was approaching the container suddenly yelled, followed by a number of guns pointed directly at Adrian before all hell broke loose. He dashed and dodged all of the bulle
As their blades danced, a melee battle involving both sides played out, slashing noises reverberating through the air.Gloria, Mya, Alan, Blaze, and the others fought their way through the enemy ranks to meet up with Adrian. They stood with their backs against one another, forming a circle as they faced the oncoming onslaught of enemies before fighting back.Screams of agonies were heard as their enemies fell one after the other. "They've engaged the enemy!"More than a dozen drones began to record the scene.The excited anchor shouted, "Our soldiers have been reunited and are now engaged in an intense battle. As you can see, they've reached the climax of their battle. This is definitely going to be a rowdy night!"The clinking of daggers could be heard as both sides yelled at the top of their lungs.***At the same time, somewhere deep within the rainforest, Klause and his ten men were heading for point 218 when they heard very strange noises from afar. "Klause, the army th
Everyone smiled upon hearing Lucas' interpretation of the secret message. Cuirass said, "I didn't think that a single secret message would contain so much information. As expected of the legate… We're saved!"Lucas nodded. "Yes, have everyone retreat to higher ground in the north, any container we find along the way will support our journey. Let's get to the northern mountains and meet up with the legate!""Yes, sir.”"Let's go, brothers!"***Men from Wyvern Peak, stranded across various corners of the island, saw the smoke in the sky. Anyone who learned the specific language originating from Wyvern Peak could understand the message behind the smoke and immediately headed north.Meanwhile, somewhere on the other side of the island was a team of two hundred men resting up and regaining their strength. Battle Warrior Steel, with blood stains all over him, had just fallen asleep when he was awoken by one of his men who was standing watch. "Sir, there’s a secret message from Wyv
Lena slowly stirred upon feeling the pain in her finger. She opened her eyes and scanned her unfamiliar surroundings. Only then did she realize where she was as she yelled, "Sir!"Adrian smiled. "You're awake."The others surrounded her as well. After taking a few deep breaths, Lena turned around and saw the corpses all over the ground. She then realized an intense battle had happened while she was passed out. She quickly said, "I'm sorry for being a burden.""We're just glad you're all right, Lena. How are you feeling? Can you stand?" Alan asked. Lena nodded and tried to stand up. She did some light movements and found that aside from being a little sore, she was in good condition."I'm good." Adrian heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this, while the other Navians cheered. Everyone on their team had safely landed at Serpent's Haven. Gloria walked over and said, "Adrian, everyone except Nyssa is alright. He has sustained some light injuries.""That's good. We'll rest fo
