The emergence of this frightening armored car scared the life out of the Ratliff soldiers, as they all left their offense to focus completely on defense reflexively.
In less than 5 seconds since the car came into this isolated battlefield, no less than 300 soldiers died to its rapid automatic machine-gun fire as chaos spread in the originally neat and disciplined soldier units.
Boom!! Boom!! Explosions spread their red-hot tentacles, rocking the other parts of the battlefield as the Ratliff armored vehicles shined bright before exploding and turning bloody, painting dark red beautiful lights like fireworks on a Christmas night.
The surrounding houses and the landscape were completely leveled from the degree of destruction being wrath in these few seconds, burying their unlucky inhabitants in the process tragically.
As the car drove closer to meet the 3 huddled-up escapees, one of the best and most conspicuous Ratliff multi-purpose armored military vehicle
Though the Rivaldo family soldiers did not know the exact reason why their patriarch summoned them, they were not in the position to ask. Just obey, that was their one and only responsibility.They all started journeying back through various means, as the anger in the tone of their patriarch was indicative enough that something was wrong.All the various large families and powers of the Madbull state noticed the large-scale mobilization of soldiers. This alarmed them, as they increased the defense of their territories while sending investigation teams out to investigate.The commotion that this was bringing already started attracting the attention of the whole state, as all the large powers finally pinpointed the location of the battle.They were shocked on seeing the footage of the destroyed street. They developed cold feet shills immediately, as the Madbull capital city finally got the information also.The state leaders were shocked and angered
An hour after their escape, Clark finally woke up again to see himself still under the sea. After the long escape struggle, he was mentally exhausted so he had to rest a bit after guaranteeing their safety.He stretched lazily while being careful not to disturb the 2 sleeping sisters before turning to peep at them a little.He was surprised, as what greeted him were 2 pairs of large, round, glittering, weary, and timid eyes. Such a sight startled him, as he jumped a little on his chair before quickly averting his eyes.Though he could not see them, he could still feel the pair of eyes watching his back.“Ahh, I didn’t know that you guys were awake already. Were you both just there looking at me since? Why didn’t you wake me up?” He coughed before asking them questions to relieve the awkward atmosphere.Emily finally closed her eyes on hearing this, as faint teardrops dripped down her face. She knew this strategy that Clark w
He didn’t waste time in the border military defense harbor, as the soldiers there already knew him. All his entry papers were processed in less than 2 minutes before he continued his journey.He felt a faint sense of anticipation, as he was finally going back to his military division after over 3 years of being out in the sea.He tried to guess the changes that would have probably taken place in the division headquarters, while also thinking of his friends as his face bloomed into a broad happy man smile.He quickly entered the highway, as his speed entered with him, changing gears immediately. His car streaked forward like a rocket, overtaking other cars speedily as he maintained control of the car manually.After so long of enduring the insecurity in the Mediterranean Sea, he did not feel the regular pressure to train and improve his strength again. His life was now back to the way it was supposed to be, peaceful and easy-going.He no longe
Clark’s meeting with Captain Daniel was done in a jiffy. It only required a minute, as they didn’t have much to discuss.The Captain first asked him about how he fared alone in the sea and his encounters. After going deep around the bush, he finally showed why he called for him, he just wanted to satisfy his curiosity about the recent sea disaster as he was sure that it was connected to the Spartan fleet somehow.In the end, he couldn’t know much, as his clearance level and authority were not enough to know what happened in the sea expedition mission. This mission was graded as highly classified information.He did not press for it. He just sighed, feeling that it was a pity. As a high-grade soldier, he understood the rules clearly and he was not going to break them just to satisfy his curiosity.After learning about the little information that Clark could savage and tell him, he finally gave a gift to him as his former leader.He
After getting back to the Python military division, Clark noticed a ping notification from his implant. He finally received the message that he was expecting. The Spartan army finally contacted him.“Good day Clark Pendragon, I am the main A.I in charge of all operations of the Spartan army. Your status has been on hold for a long time in our database, but we updated it lately after your return”.“According to our records, you are among the brave soldiers who participated in the Spartan’s rage mission. All your comrades who survived have received their rewards, so yours is the only one pending”.“The higher-ups decided that you will receive all the promised benefits and rewards on the same day of your rank promotion ceremony”.“You will also receive all the right rewards for the mission and everything that you accomplished in the sea”.“To make us not cramped up with responsibilities on th
About an hour later, Leo and the others finally arrived at the Spartan republic’s capital on their eye-catching ride. Though their luxurious fine-tuned car grabbed some attention, it was not much as this was a gathering of the rich and influential. There were countless other exotic cars here, so they didn’t grab as much attention as they expected. After going through elaborate security checks to confirm their identities, they were finally allowed into the large hall where the rank promotion ceremony would be carried on. Optimism and excitement filled the air, as the young lucky soldiers who got the opportunity to follow their mentors to the ceremony also arrived. 
In a quiet narrow corridor that was illuminated by bright blue lights, 2 soldiers on the unique golden uniform of the Spartan army walked forward while discussing casually.“Arthur, I didn’t expect you to come, welcome. I know you came for an entirely different reason though, but forget about that”. Commander Rashford’s voice echoed across the small corridor.“How do you see the 2 main protagonists of today’s ceremony, General Oxford and Major Clark? I once heard that Clark was compared to you at some time, what do you think of him?”He turned his face a little to observe the expression on the face of his companion, after asking this. Commander Arthur’s expression did not change though, it was firmly stabilized in its poker form.He finally answered after contemplating for a second. “That Oxford, I have checked his records, his growth momentum is not fierce enough, he improves too slowly. I can bet tha
After 2 days of relentless celebration and much fanfare, the aftermath of the rank promotion ceremony finally subsided.Clark was dressed in his new military uniform, as he prepared to report to the Spartan army base for the first time. His friends also got dressed in their various clothes, before proceeding to lead him out of the hotel that they booked.For the past few days, they spent all their time going for a tour around the Spartan capital.Today was the day that Clark was scheduled to resume duty and to get his rewards from the inquiry hall, so he did not tarry.He quickly entered his car with his friends, before speeding across the road to the Spartan army base headquarters.20 minutes later, they arrived at the periphery gate of the enormous city-like headquarters. After confirming their identity, they were allowed to continue speeding inside.They drove for another 10 minutes before the exotic car finally stopped at the large compo
6 months ago, the sky turned red which according to world leaders signified the start of the war that would decide the fate of humanity.2 months prior, the news was finally publicized, spreading worldwide panic but with all the most powerful world leaders working together, the panic was easily curbed and order was restored.According to the government, humanity was not hopeless, they had heroes in the form of their soldiers and elite soldiers.Not only that, humanity had a superhero, the great Elite Commander Clark Pendragon. After the special training started, a fuse seemed to have been switched on as the Spartan soldier experienced a period of rapid growth.With veteran Elite Commanders around to guide him and with every resource he needed available, he encountered no bottlenecks, he improved at a superhuman speed never recorded since the human race was born.In just 4 months, he broke through 2 times, going all the way to the Elite-grade rank.
A month later, in the Gen. Clark Pendragon Mansion.At the big balcony attached to the mansion, Clark stood, looking out into the distance as a lot of things went through his mind. The past one month has been the best in his life, and he was grateful for it.Despite it being the best in his life, as a 4th rank high-grade soldier now, his intuition told him that something was happening.As a high-grade soldier and mercenary, things happened everyday around him but he knew that this was not the normal happenings, his intuition told him that this was far higher than anything that he has encountered before.And after making connections from the recent happenings, from his famous marriage ceremony, to the big 5 jointly broadcasting it, a lot of other things and now the Spartan President personally calling for him, he confirmed his guess.Something big was happening, it was just that no one deemed it right to inform him about it yet. As a man
Vatican City Central Church, General Clark Street. This was the church where the big things were happening for today. Not only people from all over the Spartan republic, even esteemed guests from foreign high-grade countries came to grace this occasion. Today was the day of Vatican City hero’s marriage ceremony. After 22 years as a single, General Clark Pendragon was finally ready to tie the nut with his fiancée. The name of the street where the ceremony was commencing was given and commissioned a few days after Clark became a General. Some of the most esteemed guests attending the marriage ceremony were the legendary President of the Spartan republic, Leonidas, and the armor tycoon, the billionaire Mr. Calibri of the Dakran republic. These 2 people were such powerful and well-known personalities in their own rights that their attendance alone shot the attention being given to the marriage ceremony to the highest point. Not only that,
“Leonidas, you wish to attend?”Hearing that, the Spartan President sighed, exasperated. “If you were not my mentor, I would have probably fired you already. Cough…, sorry for that but I’m really going, what’s the big deal?”“You’re really asking me that right now? Of course, there’s a big deal. Apart from military burials, do you know the last time you have for social gatherings?”“I dunno, probably a decade or 2”.“No…, 4 decades! 4 whole decades! You get that?” The old man emphasized by waving his hands vigorously, showing 4 fingers at the powerful soldier.“Suddenly going to a social event after such a long time staying at home, what do you think will be people’s reaction. They may feel that something is happening, they may even panic”.“And just because he’s a 4th rank high-grade soldier does not change anythin
A day after the reunion with her family, Sonia took permission with her parents before going on the first official date with her boyfriend. It was a date, but they just wanted to spend more time together and close to each other. The few years apart was torment to them, now that they had the opportunity, they wanted to make up for it by all means. At first, staying together left them feeling awkward but they soon got over it and started reliving the feelings of a few years ago. For the destination for their first date, none of them planned for it as they were both individuals who have never interacted with the opposite sex in such fashions before now. As the only daughter of a famous billionaire, other billionaire sons already tried courting her in the past but she simply didn’t find them appealing enough, so she always ignored and avoided them. After just a day of staying with Clark, her brother, and her parents in her childhood home, she now
Among the 3 Pirate Gods in the Sahara, though none of them never publicly claimed the spot as the strongest, the Black Pirate God was the one most recognized by pirates as the strongest. After him was the powerful Red Goddess Pirate, then the Lilac Pirate God. Compared to the first 2, the Lilac Pirate God was on the more glaringly weaker side but he still had the strength to back his title. At this moment, in the Black God Pirate City, a surprising piece of news was being circulated. Pirate Queen Anamel was dead, and Pirate Queen Cobra was secretly a student of the Red Goddess. Not only that, the most shocking piece of news that took the city by storm was that of Pirate Queen Cobra’s intention to leave the Sahara and settle in normal human settlements outside. … “Is this news verified?” A deep voice asked with suppressed anger in an underground room with far better living conditions than most of the others out there in the desert. “Yes
Though they both wanted to just remain in each other’s embrace forever, Clark and Sonia knew that they were still in a pirate city and what it meant. With reluctance, they quickly left the city with Arthur.Even if they tried to cover it up, it was impossible so they didn’t bother. In minutes, the news of Pirate Queen Anamel’s death spread through the pirate city and beyond.For long, Clark has always been worried about his reaction when he finally saw Sonia again but he was surprised when he did. It was like they never separated; it was like they’ve lived through all these years together.15 minutes later, they got sufficiently far away into the desert from the pirate city so they finally had the time to speak things out.Sonia brought out the stolen pistol first, which Clark handed over to Arthur. After this, she finally started detailing her encounters after Clark asked.According to her, after the fierce battle on her fa
While Arthur asked the pirate, Clark already went to work as he closed his eyes to focus. As experienced soldiers, they already put a lot of contingencies in place during their tour around the pirate city.Even if they wanted to catch some fun, it was too unrealistic for them to just keep touring without setting anything in place.With his implant, Clark immediately accessed the hidden cameras that they placed around the city, most especially this bar. It didn’t take him long; he saw a hooded female going out through the bar’s back door.“Found our target”.While muttering to Arthur, Clark already turned to storm out of the bar. Arthur simply knocked the 2 pirates out before storming out also.In seconds, they were out of the bar’s main structure.…A few meters away from the bar, a hooded lady walked through the streets at a leisure pace as she kept a close but alert eye on her surroundings.<
The next day, Clark and Arthur woke up with the intention to remain patient while waiting for their informant to contact them. They didn’t even go into the pirate city, it was too disgusting for them to stay in it. The more Clark felt this way, the more he feared what his girlfriend may have become now. If just a day staying in it could make him this irritated, he just couldn’t imagine what staying here for 4 years could have done. Thinking of this, he felt guilty again. “Why didn’t I come earlier?” Souring his mood with such thoughts, the day moved extremely slowly to him. Perhaps, having noticed his current mood, Arthur didn’t disturb him and opted to go out hunting alone. When he came back, he had a desert antelope with him. Seeing the catch, Clark was left speechless. “Can we finish that?” Arthur wasn’t fazed by his question. “If we can’t finish it today, we’ll just finish it tomorrow or the next. Don’t worry, I have preservation gadgets with me, and besides, your girlfriend
