The 5 soldiers were perceptive enough to see that engaging now was practically a sure-death move, so they all obeyed Clark’s order without any objections. As they hid in the snow, their already activated armor kept on expending energy to keep them warm from the infectious cold. The animals walked randomly in various directions, doing different things without any idea that a group of intruders just infiltrated their territory. As the soldiers observed through their drones, one thing that came out glaringly to them was the weird manner in which some of the animals behaved and treated others. “They have a hierarchy? Are they that intelligent?” Clark was surprised. “Did you think that we got trashed for nothing?” Dickson’s cold voice quickly rose in reply. They could see that some of the animals were relegated to slave roles, as the other higher ones in the hierarchy seemed to be giving them orders aggressively. It seemed that this

Clark did not move an inch for the next minute, under such pressure, his military instincts quickly kicked in as the necessary basic reactions of such a situation poured into his brain smoothly. He made sure to remain motionless like a sturdy unwavering tree, he held his breath, reduced his heartbeat to the barest minimum, secretly activated a device that wiped his human smell away, before praying for luck. The atmosphere became strangely tense and oppressive to him after doing all these. He tightly shut his eyes to not freak out again, his implant was the one now updating him on what was happening. [Ding!! From the exobeast lion’s angle of sight and its expression, it has been deduced that it is not sure of Master’s presence here. It woke up due to the noise, but it still can’t pinpoint what caused it.] [Its innate intuition was what caused it to look directly at your position. After a lot of analysis, I suggest that Master should use this opportunit

As soon as Dickson and the others left the strategy discussion hall, just like beasts that were injected with adrenaline vaccines, they moved energetically like excited bulls to their various squad camps. To them, the time was already ticking along for their escape as they quickly arrived and started instructing their subordinates. For the first time in his life, under Clark’s suggestion and subsequent encouragement, Dickson was about to give his first morale-raising speech to his soldiers. Standing before the dozens of soldiers who followed unwaveringly behind with him as the survivors from the dangers of the past few weeks, he felt dazed. These men and women passed through all the storms and survived with him. Remembering Clark’s words, he did not allow himself to continue looking dazed as he quickly snapped out of it. When he started speaking, it originally seemed a little stiff but he gradually got more in tune with it. From just a casual

Every beast in the territory’s attention was drawn to the general location of Diana’s squad, the Spartan squad was the one that was discovered by the perceptive Dipers. The animals suddenly had drooling excited looks on their fearsome faces. Even if they could not see the soldiers yet, they believed the Dipers nose more than they believed their eyes. Clark reacted the next moment even before the drool could fall off the beasts’ mouths. The worst-case scenario happened despite their precautions; he felt a little depressed but this did not make him hesitate. “Diana, execute plan B immediately”. He no longer took the longer route of his implant; he gave the order directly through his comm. “Anna, try your best to avoid drawing attention to yourself. Do everything in your power to make sure that you are not discovered by the raging beasts, I’m relying on you this time”. “Benny, stay still and hold your peace. Your time is not now”. Before

Despite the impending doom, the soldiers were completely focused after hearing Diana’s orders. The allied force formed another defense perimeter as 3 soldiers who were being tightly protected typed rapidly and controlled a holographic screen that was before them.            All the soldiers prepared for the worst-case scenario, as they grasped their weapons tighter. They could already see the enlarging form of their fearsome enemy, but their faces still showed determination. One of the technical soldiers that were controlling the screen finally spoke out, while rushing to Diana’s side.            “Staff Sergeant, the switch is ready!” “Activate your shields immediately!”. A tense Diana quickly ordered as she grabbed the mechanical switch from the soldier’s hand immediately. Every soldier obeyed her command, they were already prepared for
