Almost just a second after the first energy beam raked at the erected shield, rendering its humongous energy reserves to naught, the terrorist base reacted without any delay.
Rated as the biggest and best terrorist base among the ones located in the city, it was miles more developed than the others.
The system of operation here was already mature, they may have been ambushed in the night but they were not caught off-guard. The terrorist base reacted appropriately like a well-oiled machine.
Defensive structures quickly started emerging out of the ground as soon as the Black Dragon soldiers started storming in.
The next moment, sand was sucked into something like a black hole as large tunnels were quickly formed through which tanks, turrets, and different special machines such as electricity transmission vehicles starting emerging out of the underground.
Some military vehicles looking like bulldozers followed and emerged as the first set of mach
Thanks for reading, you guys are the best.
“Sir, the Professor is asking to meet you again”. Hearing the voice of his subordinate again for the umpteenth time this night, the Commander sighed. He didn’t answer immediately though, he just placed a hand on his chin and looked into space. A few hours ago, when most of his subordinates already slept, he was surprised to notice that he could not sleep. He felt uneasy. He had been feeling uneasy for the past few days, but tonight’s own was on a whole realm of its own. Something that could make a soldier of his caliber unable to sleep, he just couldn’t fantom how terrifying it was. Not sure of what to do, in the end, he sent a distress signal to their regional headquarters that was at the outskirts of the city. Though all communication channels in the city were trapped, as the biggest terrorist base in the city, he had a one-time-use device that could break through the veils of the electromagnetic disturbance and send out voice signals.
Clark swiftly moved his body to the right, dodging another stab from his opponent by only a few inches as he quickly counterattacked with a counter-clockwise swing of his 2 swords.Stumping on the ground, the Commander leaped upwards, dodging the slash as he skillfully rotated his menacing trident before directing it in a downwards trajectory for another stab.Clang!The metallic sound was grating to the ears as Clark decided to block this time. The enormous kinetic force weighed heavily on his hands, pushing his swords down but he improvised and shifted his center of gravity slightly.This made the trident push his dual swords dangerously to the sides of his left shoulder, but his armor absolved all the damage.The Commander motioned to retrieve his trident for another follow-up attack, but Clark reacted first and kicked at him. He tried to block the blow but Clark’s boots suddenly started glowing blue light.With a deep sound of impa
Silence reigned in the B29 underground emergency shelter, making the atmosphere among the civilians seem like a graveyard. Every adult civilian sat, strapped to a chair as their undivided attention was all focused on the huge projection that was currently playing a scene in the air. They held their breaths; their hearts were on their throats. A few hours ago, the 5 commissioners directly behind the captain in authority over the city gave an order. Seeing the massive success that was being achieved due to Clark’s meticulous plans and preparations, they decided that it was a good thing for the civilians being protected to see the heroics of the soldiers fighting for their lives. Of course, they also gave an order that all the children should be made to sleep before this. The scene that was to be shown was not something healthy for children, only adults could appreciate it. Under the protection of the soldiers, the civilians sat solemnly and watc
The sudden silence in the battlefield was like that in a graveyard, every terrorist and soldier alike looked on with trepidation at the man that stood tall like he could support a mountain in his broad back. Imposing! Tyrannical! Ruthless! Powerful! That was their most dominant impression of the captain at this moment, which only became more evident on seeing the corpse that lied beside him. Seeing their seemingly invisible Commander lying limp and unmoving in a pool of his own blood, the terrorists freaked out. They felt real fear for the first time in their lives, they regretted for the first time the fact that they could not blend with the shadows and disappear. All their sense of loyalty to the Persian tigers organization evaporated like the wind, now the only thing in their mind was how to escape, and that's exactly what they did. If the flash of the ancient DC com
Deep inside the forest bordering Vatican City, inside a big underground military base, an abnormally serious and tense atmosphere was inside the regional convergence headquarters of the Persian tigers organization. Silence reigned inside the underground terrorist base headquarters, all the terrorists either sat still or stood still like statues no matter where they were in the base. As mere subordinates in this terrorist base, they were not informed of the plans of the higher-ups. They didn’t know what was happening but none of them could stay calm, their gut feeling told them that something was wrong. At some intervals, terrorist soldiers who were already promoted to the executioner rank could be seen running up and down, going in and out of the corridor that led to the chamber of the main Commanders. At this moment, the normal grandeur and confident demeanor exhibited by executioners could not be detected from them at all. Their movements seemed flu
Spurt!Clark pulled his spear out of his opponent’s chest as the executioner vomited blood uncontrollably, the poor terrorist had a pale deflated expression on his face as he saw death directly before him.Clark placed his legs on top of his chest, added pressure to the deep gorge there, and looked straight into the terrorist’s eyes.The executioner gasped, the features of his face distorting as his already weak hands held the captain’s leg with a pleading expression on his face. No one loved death, not even a terrorist like him.He was barely living by grasping tight to the juice still left of his lungs, his eyes were already dilating but he tried to hold tight to life.His mouth opened wide, they kept on opening and closing slowly, forming pleading mouth gestures but Clark did not give a damn about him. The next moment, he stiffened and it ended.Another terrorist life just left the world again.This night alone, t
Deep inside the forest bordering Vatican City, the jungle seemed to have become a living organism as activities went on inside at a steady frequency, arousing all life that was living inside it. The forest was not too big in the first place, which made all the activities going on more obvious. Military vehicles of various types with even more weapon armaments plied the rough pathways of the forest, crushing twigs of trees, bushes, animals, and even exobeasts as they moved. Terrorists stood and sat at various angles in the vehicles, filling all spaces as they migrated in a direction leading to the center point of the forest. The terrorist soldiers all held different weapons in their hands, ranging from melee weapons to ranged weapons. Even demolition experts were among the migrants, and they were armed in their full gear. The expression on their faces was not friendly either, they all had expressions like they were going to war. Stony faces tha
CHAPTER 325: AN OLD MAN THAT CAN SMASH WALLS APART.“Last status report!” A deep voice suddenly sounded into the communication devices of the soldiers.“The Eagle Eye Battalion is all set for battle; there’s no abnormality here”.“The Thousand Crane Battalion is set for battle!”“The New-era Vatican Battalion is on standby”.“The Black Dragon Battalion is on standby”.“The Autumn Leaves Battalion is on standby”.“Good! We’re all set for battle. Remember the basics, and don’t forget to remain focused throughout. Good luck, and may God help us”.“God help us!”As soon as this last pre-battle status report was done, the incoming terrorists finally came within attacking distance. Seeing them from afar, they were more like a pack of locusts than humans.Zoom!Maybe to intimida
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
