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
Everyone turned their heads in puzzlement upon hearing the voice and saw a young woman slowly walk into the room. It was Juno who was a trainee at Azure Creek Military Academy.Adrian was surprised upon seeing her.Mya said in astonishment, “What brings you here, Juno?”Juno walked into the office and looked toward Adrian on the sofa with a smile. She said with squinted eyes, “I can do something that War Legate Draco can’t, huh?”“That’s Juno? Adrian’s younger sister?” Gloria asked Mya as she turned her head. She had heard Samantha talk about Juno over their days together.Mya said softly, “Yeah, that’s her. The girl is very intelligent, and Adrian intends to let her take over Wyvern Peak.”Gloria’s interest was piqued and wanted to find out the nineteen-year-old girl’s insight.Max said, “Juno is the most outstanding student of ACMA. She came in first in her recent examination. Why don’t we listen to her valuable opinion?”Adrian beckoned for her to speak. “Tell me, Juno. What
Adrian beamed as he applauded continuously.Gloria said, “You’re so young yet so intelligent Juno. This method will indeed get us on the island. However, it’ll need to be well planned out. On top of that, it may be risky but the risk is not too high.” She gave Juno a thumbs up.Juno said, “We’ll drop a few hundred or even a few thousand specially-produced airdrop containers using Tempest-1. The Eight Hollows won’t be able to destroy them within a short period. Moreover, their snipers aren’t that highly-skilled. Even if they do hit the parachutes, we can install security measures in the containers so that if you’re hiding in those containers, you won’t be severely injured in the case of a free fall.”Adrian smiled upon hearing Juno’s remark. “It seems that I really am old. How did you come up with the idea, Juno?” he asked.“I played a survival game and was inspired by the airdrop container in the game. Serpent’s Haven has been encircled and it’ll be extremely difficult to perform a
After leaving Azure Creek’s base, Adrian headed to Drogoton in a helicopter. He arrived an hour later, and it was already eleven at night by then.In Gracia’s villa, Gracia, after completing a busy day at work, had dinner and took a shower in preparation to hit the sack. However, she received a call as soon as she got into bed.“Hello?“What? Why would I meet you so late at night? Can’t we talk about this tomorrow?“I’m exhausted after today’s work and I’m really sleepy.“Fine, fine. Wait for me at Glovern’s entrance. I’m coming now.”Gracia impatiently hung up the call and got out of bed. She threw on a skirt and short-sleeved top.The call came from Adrian. It was Gracia’s first time receiving a call from him. Ever since her sister’s return, Adrian’s guilt toward her had vanished.Gracia had no choice but to quickly grab her bag, put on her high heels, and head downstairs. She had no idea what brought Adrian to her. Ten minutes later, she arrived at Glovern. Adrian was alread
Even though Gracia had plenty of talented employees in her company, two days’ time was too short. It would be absolutely impossible to come up with a design by then.Upon noticing the situation, Adrian said, “We’ll adopt the second plan to enter Serpent’s Haven in the early morning on the day after tomorrow. Otherwise, Lucas and the others will die.”“I could do it if you want me to design some other functions onto the original airdrop container. However, your demands are quite challenging in a way that they will need to be made of completely different materials as compared to before so that they will be attack-resistant and durable.“Moreover, all the suitable materials that we know of in the world can’t be used in this design. The resistance of the containers will be lowered significantly if we were to use existing materials.“Other than that, we’ll need to work on adding the other complicated functions, so it’s utterly impossible to do that within two days.”Gracia propped up h
Gracia then told everyone about the situation. The crowd of people lowered their heads and began to discuss after hearing her words. Someone expressed their concerns about the difficulty of the task. It would be almost impossible to complete the task in view of Glovern’s current technological advancement.Adrian said, “Gloria has already explained to you the situation. This is our only way to enter Serpent’s Haven. Airdrop is the only feasible way for us if there isn’t any fog on that day. Please do some thinking on what we can do in this situation.”The crowd engaged in a heated discussion.A man raised his head and said, “Sir, let’s review the materials we currently have in our possession. We don’t have a single material that can be used to produce an airdrop container capable of withstanding heavy attacks. We’ll need to combine these materials, but the explosion resistance resulting from combining materials may not be as strong as you imagine it to be.”“I want containers that c
“It came with a meteorite and has been buried under Mount Cintera for a long time.”The group was disappointed upon hearing Ginevra’s remark.Mount Cintera was located far away from Navia. How far? Cintera was located in the northern hemisphere and was separated from Navia by the radius of Earth. It would be unrealistic to acquire bertrandium within two days.Someone said, “Ginevra, doesn’t your statement amount to saying nothing? How can we acquire bertrandium from Cintera within such a short time? Also, you mentioned that it came in a meteorite. The operation will surely be costly.”Ginevra did not respond to this but looked toward Adrian. “Sir, I accidentally worked with bertrandium while I was studying in Yidalia. It’s far harder than any other metal on Earth. You can use it to make the containers that you need. Moreover, the enemy won’t be able to destroy these containers.”Adrian tapped on the table with his index finger. “Since you’ve already said it, you must have a way to
After leaving Glovern, Adrian prepared to board the helicopter to return to Azure Creek. Gracia walked outside and said to him, “Are you really planning on seizing bertrandium from Bloody Rose? Are you confident that you can acquire it within a day?”“Aren’t you similarly helpless?” asked Adrian.“We can figure out another way. This is too risky,” said Gracia.“There are always risks on the battlefield. There is no battle with a hundred percent success rate. Prepare your company because I’ll be transporting the bertrandium at any moment. You have to produce the containers within a day,” said Adrian.Upon saying that, he got into the helicopter and left Drogoton.Gracia inhaled a deep breath. As she gazed after Adrian’s departing helicopter, she became even more convinced of her belief at this very moment.The rest of the people walked out of the building as well. Gracia turned around and said, “Inform all the departments to return to their posts at once. Please work hard in the n
