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
Adrian said, "You've made the right choice, but at the same time, you've also made an error. Do you know what that is?"Klause lowered his head. "You shouldn't have left Lucas there.""But our comrade might've been in the airdrop container. We couldn't just stand aside and watch whoever's inside be in danger. Sir Lucas was going to do the same thing as well. None of us were okay with giving up a person's life."Adrian placed his hand over Klause's shoulder. "I’m not blaming you.” He then turned around and said, "Alan, calibrate our directions. We're heading north to meet up with Lucas and Steel as soon as possible.""Yes, sir." Alan took out his equipment to calibrate the direction they were in.Meanwhile, everyone else got prepared.Alan then pointed in a direction and said, "That way, sir." Adrian immediately said, "Blaze, Eira, Mya, Ivy, take six people each and head north, south, east, and west. Maintain about a three-kilometer distance from us and stay alert.""Yes, sir
Adrian and the others headed for the mountain stream Lena mentioned, while Gloria called out to the others through her communicator. All the airdrop containers had communicators inside to help the stranded get in contact with the main unit. Meanwhile, Crystal instructed her technicians to keep track of the containers' locations. Every container had its own GPS so that headquarters could track them at a moment's notice. Soon, all of the airdrop containers' markers showed up on the screen."Draco, I've sent all of the markers for the airdrop containers to your equipment.""Thanks."Adrian responded and turned on the device on his wrist, which showed every single marker around him. He remained silent after that and sped toward the stream.***At that moment, near the endless stream in Serpent's Haven…A flurry of footsteps could be heard coming from the forest, followed by two figures rushing out from within before landing in the freezing stream"Argh!" one of them yelled miser
Berserk became elated and carried Ridge on his back. "Wyvern Peak must've been the ones who made that airdrop last night. Hang in there, Ridge. We might just get out of this!"Berserk carried his comrade and headed for the airdrop container one step at a time, but tripped and fell due to extreme exhaustion. Still, he pressed on, crawling on the ground with Ridge on his back. His hands were cut by the razor-sharp rocks, but he did not seem to be in the slightest bit of pain. Meanwhile, Ridge was fading in and out of consciousness. His thigh was completely infested, and he would not live for much longer if he did not receive treatment soon. "We're almost there, Ridge. Stay with me. There might be antibiotics in the container. We've got a fighting chance if we can get there to collect weapons and resources!"Hang in there. Remember that your fiancee's waiting for you to go home!” Berserk continued to talk as he crawled.Ridge's consciousness started to fade as he sat on Berserk's b
