"Captain, why are you stopping me from knocking some sense into this brat? This guy deserves a lesson on how to act before his seniors." the soldier that was about to hit Trapp awake whispered through gritted teeth.
He wanted to know why the captain was stopping him from disciplining Trapp. It was very obvious that he was very pissed with Trapp now... in fact, he and most of the other soldiers here were also pissed at Trapp, but they had refrained from doing anything to him because of it. But now, because of the tense atmosphere and nervousness from their mission, this soldier could not stand Trapp's attitude anymore and moved to deal with him.
The captain of the squad, who was holding the soldier's hand, said to him calmly.
"Calm down, soldier. I know how things are, but this is not the time to be doing this. We are on an important mission now and we can't afford any hiccups, so get it together soldier." the captain ordered while trying to mediate the situation
The captain and his lieutenant Max made their back to the rest of the squad after finally coming to an agreement. Along the way, when the captain passed by Trapp's side, he quickly gave him a light kick and ordered."Wake up soldier... this is not the time to be sleeping.""The signal could be coming anytime soon, so we have to stay sharp and make sure we are in tip-top condition to immediately react. Do you hear me?"The captain spoke sternly to Trapp, completely unlike the way he had spoken when he was trying to prevent max from offending Trapp. Looking at the captain now; it was as if he did not know about Trapp's seemingly extraordinary background or even if he knew he did not care. It made no sense how he could act one way behind Trapp's back but immediately become another person right in his face.Actually, this was not too difficult to understand. The captain was still the leader of this team and Trapp was under his command. It would not do well fo
"Frankie, Cole, Geralt... you three have worked hard. Now it's time to get busy again. You have to get all of us into the base quickly and silently now that they are distracted. This is going to be our only window to infiltrate without triggering any alarms. We can't miss this window, you hear me?"The captain's bearing changed completely as he spoke to the three members with the earth moving bloodline. Speaking with a lot of authority, the captain commanded them to get the whole squad into the enemy base.Those three earthmovers responded promptly, "Yes, captain!"The captain was not done because he turned to another squad member who was hidden in a corner among the others."Shadower, you also have to make sure to erase every trace of the squad. We do not know just how vigilant the enemy is or what measures they've set up on their base to deal with spies, so we cannot be careless. A sufficiently thick veil of shadows should suffice to make us undetectabl
The Saint Veracles Starfield was a resource-rich zone in the Great Filament Upper Realm. In this star field, there were two powerful noble families that oversaw the running of the Starfield under the Ndlovu empire.These families were the Viceroy family and the Avalon family. These two families were very powerful and the competition between them, both in the open and in secret, was very fierce. Still, there always remained a modicum of civility with each other and would not go all out against the other.But recently, an all-out war had broken out between the two families over a recently discovered resource area that was abundant in many rare and valuable resources. The resources in this region were enough to push the development of both families by a considerable margin and make the strength of one family increase over the other.Both families were unwilling to give up on obtaining ownership of these resources. Normally, both families had clearly distinguished b
Trapp and his temporary squad were assigned with the mission to infiltrate the greenhorn base camp and destroy their defenses from the inside. They were to attempt to shut down the unmanned asteroid defense stations outside the planet.Right now, using a special method, Trapp's temporary squad was able to arrive undetected inside the planet and they burrowed deep into the earth to hide their traces and wait for the signal to launch their attacks.It should be noted that Trapp's squad was not the only one assigned to this task. For the purpose of ensuring the success of this mission, other squads similar to Trapp's temporary one were also assigned to accomplish this mission as them. But in order to ensure the secrecy of the operation, there were only three teams taking up the mission.Trapp's squad was one, and there were two other squads assaulting the main base of the camp from other directions. If anything were to happen, each squad was to cover for each other
Trapp's squad waited for the next volley of explosions to rain down from above and when it finally did, they immediately made their move again. Once again, shadower used his powers to completely wrap the squad in a dense layer of shadows that obscured and isolated their aura's. At the same time, max and his fellow support teammate injected their own powers into the space user, who promptly activated his power. In the next moment, Trapp's squad disappeared from their original location. They had vanished into thin air. There was only a slight spatial fluctuation in their original location that indicated space had been disturbed at that point. When the squad appeared once again, they were already inside the base, having bypassed countless checkpoints and layers of defense to directly appear inside. Once the squad was inside the base, the team immediately separated and checked the surrounding environment, making sure it was secure. After a quick look, the
Originally, before Trapp joined the current squad, there were twenty members in the squad who had gone through life and death together. Unfortunately, during their last mission, one of their teammates died in the line of duty and a vacancy opened up in the squad. As is normal practice, all squads that were assigned on missions had to have a minimum of twenty members. In the case of a squad losing one or more of their members, they could either wait for the higher-ups to assign a new member to their squad or attempt to recruit someone for themselves from the batch of new recruits available. The way the military of most noble families operated is unlike the formal armies of the royal families of other civilizations in the universe. Most of the soldiers train in noble families operated in a half mercenary system where each squad had all autonomy in choosing the missions they went on. It was only when the noble family needed to fight in a war or territorial dispute that
"What the hell did you do?"Once the captain of Trapp's temporary squad and Max, his lieutenant, were out of ear's reach from the rest of the squad, the captain immediately demanded an answer from Max.Max was surprised.Although he guessed that the captain would suspect him for causing Trapp's sudden disappearance, or perhaps already did, he didn't expect that he would ask him outrightly like this.It was as if the captain was already sure that he had a hand in it. Although Max could not confirm if this was true, he still tried to feign ignorance in front of him.Putting on a confused look on his face, Max answered, "I-I don't understand what you mean. What did I do?""Come on, what are you asking me here?""Cut the crap, Max! Don't give me that bullshit. I know you had something to do with that kid's disappearance. I can see the sneaky look in your eyes when you look at the rest of the squad. You and a few of them must have come tog
"Who the hell came up with such a foolish idea?" "They must be both dumb and stupid at the same!" When the rest of the squad members heard the captain explain Max's plan to them, apart from those in on it, the rest of the squad were surprised. Nina even cursed out loud, clearly rebuking the plan for being ridiculous. At this moment, the alarms were still ringing, and the squad has wasted a bit of time dealing with this issue. The captain, realizing the situation, quickly dismissed the matter by saying. "Alright, leave it. Now is not the time to settle this matter. Since the damage has already been done, there is nothing we can do about it. Let's just deal with things as they come." "Get up." Picking max up from the ground, the captain tossed him to Nina as he said to him. "I'll deal with you later." "Nina, fix him up, will you? Don't let him drag us down more than he already has." "Alright boss," Nina answered a
