At a certain part of the Mediterranean Sea, deep inside the seabed stood an extremely heavy structure that looked like a giant turtle being protected completely by its super tough shells.
Though color diminishing measures were used to tone down its color and majesty a bit, this could still not stop its extremely eye-catching surface and body.
At this moment, a whooshing sound reverberated and a purple-surfaced mini-submarine suddenly appeared beside the heavy structure.
From inside the mini-submarine, Clark stood as he carefully looked at the structure before him with a mixture of excitement and anticipation.
After putting the submarine into a hibernating state, Clark came down with his student before they both swam before the structure.
Clark already knew the necessary password and everything to unlock it, so he was not left stumped when he saw the training chamber still locked despite him coming within close vicinity.
He first went c
Thanks for reading.
[Difficulty: Intense Level Mode Training Activated.][Simulated Opponents: Soldiers {1- 4th ranks}.][Maximum Duration: One Hour.]As the training chamber’s A. I worked to set all the parameters for the training, Clark’s eyes remained focused on the mech as the familiar feeling of having an extra body dominated him.It was not easy getting used to controlling a Giant body of such gigantic proportions, but everything could be done by learning and that was exactly what he was about to do.[Training starts in 3…, 2…, 1. Start!]Bzzz!The surroundings before the mech suddenly changed before being filled with soldiers. An elite battalion of soldiers suddenly appeared, armed to the teeth with weapons and having the support of artillery machines.Already used to this sight, Clark was not flustered. Before the soldiers could arrange themselves, he gave the mental order and the huge mech took a step forward wit
Ptui!As soon as the 4th rank high-grade soldiers appeared, they attacked without even taking time to observe and understand the battlefield and the outcome was as expected.The sword of the 4th rank high-grade soldier covered by its forcefield tyrannically penetrated the thick metallic hides of the mech, revealing its internal components for the first time since the battle started.[The Mach Augustus has lifted its shackles and is being liberated.][Warning: The Mech will perform at its best now but this will bring a strong mental burden to the mech pilot.][Do you wish to continue with this order?]As soon as Clark gave his consent, the mech seemed to have changed qualitatively in every statistical way possible.The raging fire surrounding its sword became hotter, the exotic armor protecting its metallic hide suddenly seemed to have become sturdier, and its hidden weapons armaments seemed to have gotten even more juice.Boom!
At sea, a huge mercenary fleet traveled at an adequate speed. Standing at the deck of the fleet’s main ship stood 2 individuals, a man, and a woman. Their posture suggested that they were couples. If Clark saw these 2 people, he would easily recognize them as he spent a significant amount of time with them at a certain period- Aurora and Mark. These days, they were not known by their real name, rather they were known in the Mediterranean Sea as Daggers & Sword. As the owners and founders of the famous Twin Blades mercenary organization, they already amassed a certain amount of fame here at sea. Most of the significant forces with warships plying the seas knew them and their strength, so they were rarely randomly attacked unless the opponents were a fleet that they originally had grudges with. After their days together in the outer headquarters of the Seafarers alliance, they left as lovers. This love was not superficial in any way as they
The same way that they left, that was how Clark and his student used to return stealthily to the Radan republic without arousing any suspicion from the soldiers manning the harbor 24/7. Still in its stealth mode, the mini-submarine smoothly changed back to its basic configuration of a car before taking the 2 humans boarding it through the streets of the Radan republic. 12 minutes later, Albert finally steered the exotic car into the junkyard. The familiar scene of the road bending down happened again, and Albert smoothly drove down to their secret underground base. Throughout the journey, Clark didn’t talk much as he just admired the scenery of the country. Though there were not many admirable sights in the republic, he just admired the feeling of humanity again. After staying far away from human community to train for 2 weeks, coming back revitalized his psyche in mysterious ways. As soon as the car came to a stop, Clark came down and
“This is Captain Madara, an ex-soldier of the nearby Timber Republic”. Captain Drake introduced smoothly as the said Captain greeted the others harmoniously.Clark nodded in understanding after hearing that.After listening to Clark’s initial plan that they needed a great distraction to have a higher chance of success, Captain Drake immediately started brainstorming on how to make this a reality.Though apart from the Pendragon mercenary group, no other mercenary group agreed to help them, he was not exactly cornered by that.Just like the Radan republic, most of the other neighboring low-grade countries were suffering from the exact same problem plaguing the republic, so those countries also had secret organizations opposing their government.In search of manpower to carry out the distraction, he went out beyond the Radan republic to contact these organizations and plead for help.Despite all his efforts, only Captain Mada
In the Radan Republic, Arial City, an enormous building stood on the Southside of the city. Its identity was directly written on its uppermost floor, carefully made by an artist to look like a signpost.>Traffic Control and Enforcement Building>At this moment, a courier drove a bike there and stopped before the building. The courier brought a description note from his delivery box, he crosschecked it thoroughly before bringing the box down.Carefully carrying it to the base gate of the building, he was stopped by a group of soldiers with stern expressions.“What do you want?” One of the soldiers asked.“I came to deliver this to Corporal Ares”.“Ok, bring it over, you can go”. The soldier who questioned went forward to take hold of the box.The courier nodded, asked if they could sign on Corporal Ares’s behalf which they nodded to. After the document of successful delivery was signed, h
“We say no to President Kai!”“We say no to Oppression!”“We say no to Suffering!”“We say no to Bad Governance!”Apart from the capital of Radan where most of the Radan army was concentrated, riots like this filled all other parts of the country.Every citizen with a brain in his head came out on this fateful day to fight for their freedom, to fight for what belonged to them, to fight for their right, to fight for their children, and to fight for their country.This was Christmas Day, the streets were flooded by people, but not in the way that was normal for past years. This year, everyone wanted a change.The country-wide riot continued for over an hour, and like expected, just like other similar riots in the past, the government ignored the plea of the civilians like they were bugs asking for freedom.In the past, this would have pushed the helpless civilians to the brink, and
Boom!In the headquarters of the Radan Ministry of Finance, a fierce battle was currently going on as both parties directly abandoned all safety and let themselves become unrestrained.Machine gunshots filled the battlefield, heavy artillery vehicles released their loads without restraints under the control of the operators.The cacophonic sound of soldiers embroiled in a heated battle was dominant in this once diplomatic headquarters.All the workers in the huge headquarters were already evacuated underground by the soldiers. This created an undiluted atmosphere of battle for them to dine in.Jack kept on barking orders at the mercenaries as they adjusted into better positions to attack the weak points of the Radan soldiers.Right now, the more chaotic melee battle has not started yet as both sides were still trying out themselves from a safe range.Due to the proximity of the ministry of finance’s headquarters to the President
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
