Everyone in the conference room seemed enlightened upon hearing this.Crystal had a sudden realization, and her expression showed she understood what was happening. She exclaimed in surprise, "Adrian intends to paradrop into Serpent's Haven during the heavy fog in two days?""That's right.” The first elder nodded. "I understand how Draco thinks, he never goes into a battle unprepared. More accurately, he's always prepared for something. He must've already realized something a long time ago and began coming up with countermeasures."Crystal took a deep breath and said, "Relying on the heavy fog to paradrop into Serpent's Haven is indeed a great idea. But will there really be fog in the early morning two days from now? Can we trust our weather forecast?""There's an eighty-five percent chance it'll work… It’d be more accurate to say that Draco already realized this, but that day will be his only chance.""Let's hope he'll pull off another miracle.”Crystal decided to place all of h
“With fiery ambition, we raise our swords high. Defying the Gods, we challenge the netherworld's might. As far as my eyes can see, the stars and moon are cast away. A mighty roar shakes the heavens and earth into disarray. With a single step, chaos reclaims its sway, and all creatures return to primordial clay.”This was a song released by Wyvern Peak during the Battle of Azure Creek. It instantly became the heart and soul of all the soldiers of Wyvern Peak. The mighty aspirations of Wyvern Peak were contained within the song—the heroic spirits daring to fight in heaven and earth.Adrian entered Azure Creek, accompanied by the resounding war song. It eventually faded when he arrived at Azure Creek University, where Wyvern Peak Azure Creek’s headquarters had been built behind the university.This was the largest base aside from Wyvern Hall in the outlands.***At that moment, news of War Legate Draco's arrival spread widely throughout Azure Creek University. Many students were stan
Soon, Serpent’s Haven located on the northwest of Isle 416 on Sant Sea showed up. The island did not belong to any outland organization, boosting a lush rainforest and its own unique ecosystem. There were all sorts of different wildlife living on the island.In view of Lucas and Steel’s capability, the troop would not be easily eliminated by the Eight Hollows despite being trapped in Serpent’s Haven. Hence, Adrian still had some time.***The map of Serpent’s Haven appeared on the screen.Adrian studied the enlarged map quietly and memorized the topography and all the routes of the island. At the same time, he observed the maritime space around Serpent’s Haven. Every part of the environment here could possibly increase his success rate in winning the battle.“You’re still studying it huh?”A woman’s voice came from behind Adrian, and the formally-dressed Mya walked into the room from the outside. She had come for him.Seeing Mya walk into the room, Adrian said, “Are you here to
Adrian furrowed his eyebrows and looked toward Mya. “The Eight Hollows and Dragon Peak are on the island. Do you think that it’s wise to bring along a burdensome person when we can hardly fend for ourselves?”“I won’t be a burden,” Lena said as she adjusted her glasses. “I know the patterns and habits of the flora and fauna on the island. Moreover, I’ve worked in a biology research lab for a very long time. I can perform basic surgeries and wound dressing and as such can act as the field doctor of your troop.”Adrian beckoned Lena to continue speaking.She added, “My participation will increase the success rate of the rescue. There are many highly venomous creatures living on the island such as the Blonde Serpent. The most crucial factor when it comes to jungle warfare is the topography. There’s a saying that favorable timing, geographical condition, and teamwork are the deciding factors of a winning battle. In that sense, I serve as your geographical condition.“I understand the p
Adrian raised his head ever so slightly and quietly looked at the woman standing before him upon hearing her unexpected remark.Lena said with a determined expression, “My father is Battle Warrior Lucas’ subordinate and is also on the island. He’s the only family I have left in this world. I can’t live without him.”Adrian was rather surprised. He had not expected Lena to have such a life experience. “What is your father’s name?” he asked.“His name is Cesar Williams, and his moniker is Rage.”Upon hearing that, Mya said, “I’m acquainted with Rage. He’s an important person working under Lucas. He was even involved in the Battle of Azure Creek.”Adrian thought about it and rejected Lena, saying, “Since your father is on the island, that’s all the more reason I can’t bring you along. I won’t be able to justify it to your father if something happens to you.”“My mother passed away when I was young and hence am very close with my father. He’s serving Wyvern Peak while I’m working at
At four in the afternoon, Adrian left the office and came to the base square. Gloria, Ivy, Mya, Lena, and the other women were there familiarizing themselves with the equipment. He approached them and was to announce that he would be going over their battle strategy tonight.But upon spotting Adrian, Max walked from a nearby area and called out, “Legate!”Adrian stopped in his tracks.“Twenty-one people came from Windton to take part in the mission. They just arrived on base.”“I believe that should be Blaze and the others. Bring them to me,” Adrian said.“Yes, sir.”Soon, twenty-one men in Wyvern Peak’s battle suits walked over with long strides from a distance led by Blaze. They appeared extremely calm and exuded vague, murderous intents.“Blaze.“Alan.“Inviz.”“Greetings, War Legate Draco!” the twenty-one men called out in unison.Adrian turned around and his gaze landed on Blaze and the others. Frankly, he was rather surprised by their arrival. He asked, “Why are you al
The sky soon darkened, and Azure Creek was lit up brightly.Adrian arrived at the base’s meeting room ten minutes before eight. Gloria, Mya, Eira, Jenine, and the other women arrived in succession. Blaze, Alan, Inviz, Divine, and the men arrived soon after. Lena was there as well, and Max strode into the room.The crowd walked into the office and sat down on the sofas. Noticing that everyone had arrived, Adrian said, “Have you familiarized yourself with the Tempest-1? How did you find the experience?”Adrian then asked Ivy and the women, “What do you think?”“In truth, the Tempest-1 is similar to Bloody Rose’s aircraft. We’ve flown Bloody Ultimafighter so the Tempest F-1 is not a problem,” answered Ivy.Adrian nodded. “How about you, Lena? Have you memorized the basic operations of the glider?” He looked toward her.“Mya has shown me the ropes and I’ve memorized them.”Adrian said, “Remember that this rescue operation is much more dangerous than the ones we’ve experienced in the
Favorable timing, geographic condition, and teamwork were the deciding factors of a winning battle. On the other hand, the island fog would ensure fifty percent of the operation's success.Adrian said, “We don’t know the specific location of Lucas and the other soldiers on the island. Our first task upon arrival is to meet up with them. I believe Lucas and Steel will have left markers along the way to await rescue, so we’ll need to locate these markers.”He continued, “Our troop will be performing an airborne entry to the island, so we can’t bring a large number of supplies and ammunition due to the weight limits on the parachute. Hence, Max will need to take on a task after we land on the island.”Adrian looked toward Max.“What is the task?” asked Max.“Prepare all the items on the list I’ve given you and store them in airdrop containers. Lock them with Wyvern Peak’s passcode and drop all the containers on the island after our landing. These airdrop containers will serve as the
