Everyone in Novemton was engrossed with their lives. Very few knew that at that moment, a storm was brewing in Azure Creek and Drogoton. Many were unaware of War Legate Draco's secret operation.Time soon passed, and the people of Drogoton could see more than ten cargo trucks appearing on their streets, transporting something they failed to identify as the trucks headed to the airport. The Tempest-1 was parked inside, causing the people of Drogoton to gossip among themselves.Outside Glovern's main entrance, the last cargo truck left the building and headed for the airport. Finally, Gracia heaved a sigh of relief.'I suppose I've done everything I could. We managed to build those airdrop containers for the rescue mission. Now, it's up to Adrian and the others to do their part.'At that moment, her cell phone rang, revealing to be a call from her sister."Riri?" Gracia answered."We’re almost back at Azure Creek with the containers, Cici. After that, I'm going to Serpent's Haven i
The Tempest-1 soared across the skies, carrying everyone's hopes for the future.The communicators were radio silent, but everyone was paying close attention to the operation.Novemton had already picked out the best reporters to ride on choppers with cameras at hand. They were going to record everything that happened in Serpent's Haven from every angle for all of Navia to watch.At eleven o'clock, Tempest-1 finally landed at Azure Creek's headquarters, where Ivy, Alan, Blaze, and the others were all lined up and ready to board. As soon as the aircraft landed, Adrian and Gloria walked out and stood before everyone.Adrian said, "We'll begin the operation shortly. I don’t have anything special to say this time, but I want all of you to remember that from now on, every step you take isn't for your own sake.""Yes sir!" everyone responded.Adrian then asked, "Have you written your wills?"Everyone nodded.Seeing this, he said, "In that case, we're all set to depart. Lena, have you
At Yellowton News…"Novemton has issued an order for us to enter Serpent's Haven as media support to War Legate Draco's operation. We need to send out all of our camera drones and do everything we can to enter Serpent's Haven remotely."Meanwhile, at Serpentshire News…"This operation is a covert mission to save Battle Warrior Lucas. At the same time, it's an operation that's worth the public's attention. Our mission is to remote-control our drones and do whatever we have to do to get them into Serpent's Haven. This way, we'll be able to provide them with intel at all times."Various media platforms scrambled into action, while all of the television channels were tuned into Novemton. It was half past eleven when Novemton Television broadcasted a report throughout all of Novemton.A female anchor stood before the camera and said, "It's been two days since the Eight Hollows, Dragon Peak, Bloody Rose, and other organizations have trapped Battle Warrior Lucas, Steel, and the others in
The darkness of the night continued on.Adrian and the others were quietly sitting inside Tempest-1. Ivy, Eira, Nyssa, and the other women were very calm. There was a chance that they may die on the island, making that place their final destination. At that moment, they were all wondering why they were doing this tonight.Perhaps, it was for that shred of dignity they have, or for the sake of having a warm family.Adrian suddenly asked, "Nyssa, did you call your brother and tell him about what you're doing before you left?"Nyssa looked up when she heard this. "I talked to Terry on the phone, but I didn't tell him I'm coming here so that he wouldn't worry about me."Adrian smiled and replied, "Good luck. Make him proud of you and aspire to be like you."Nyssa smiled and nodded. "I will. This is the first time I'm on a mission filled with pride. I finally feel like I’m useful.”Adrian nodded, while the others exchanged looks and all laughed at the same time.He then continued, "
"Nine…"The countdown began, and the drones following behind Tempest-1 were closely recording this exact scene. Crystal and the others, who were inside Novemton's main hall, all stood up, quietly watching the screen. The same went for everyone else in the world as the computer-generated voice continued the countdown."Six…"The anchor from Novemton News sounded very excited as she said, "The countdown for the paradrop has begun! After it ends, we’ll be seeing War Legate Draco and his brave soldiers entering Serpent's Haven to save their brothers!""Three…"Two…"One…"Wee-woo!Tempest-1's alarms blared.The whistling wind could be heard before the first container was dropped. After that, its parachute was opened up before slowly descending toward Serpent's Haven.Tempest-1 continued onward, followed by container number two, then three, four…Ten.Twenty.Five hundred.One thousand.Finally, countless containers filled the skies with their parachutes, slowly descending to
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
