Twelve well-built men stood in front in a salute the moment he and the doctor entered the room. All of them wearing tactical suits with a red dog-like logo.
“Private, may I introduce to you the Set security force.”
Steinz had this proud look on his face as he gestured at the group that gave a firm greeting to them. Chris did the same in respect, but he could not remove his frown upon realizing that they were not from the military.
He moves closer to the bearded man in order to whisper his concern. “A private army?”
Though he knew that this was a special mission, not to mention one that was completely under the research division. He could not help but worry, seeing as they got hired mercenaries instead of soldiers.
Doctor Steinz let out a sigh as he took off his
Chris was deep in thought, trying to reach out to the deepest recesses of his mind. In search of an alternative, wanting to speak to the two beasts that he had encountered. He kept calling Wolfenstein the way he had before. He could feel that they were still alive, yet he could not call them out.He stops when he felt a hand on his shoulder. When he turned to see who it was. It was sergeant Rodrigo giving him a thumbs up, his face asking if he was okay. He gives him a node to say yes, allowing him to be left alone again.Though this time he couldn’t return to his meditation, noticing the weird look on some soldiers. Some of them were grinning, while others had this grim expression while staring at him.That all changed when they finally started landing and everyone began gearing up as the chopper opened up its door. A platoon immediately gr
Chris kept his eyes open for anything suspicious. The moment they entered the mist, the ringing plagued his mind. It didn’t cause any kind of pain, though it annoyed him, as he could not focus.He let his gaze wander out, peeking into the small window in the armored vehicle, to see if there was any other odd thing. But the cover of the fog made it quite difficult.There was still electricity within the place, which meant that it had a connection to the outside. Abandoned and hardly visible, the entire town seemed like those places in a horror movie.A few other armored vehicles wandered in and out of there as they had the chance to encounter patrols that were coming out from there.“What do you want to do, chief?”Sergeant Rodrigo asks, he along with the full security
“Chief, are you sure you want to go here? There’s hardly anything around this place.”Rodrigo asks, seeing that there was nothing special happening on the device. The thing only showed a blank slate, not a sign or blink of any life moving within five hundred meters.Their group was trekking the nearby woods, far from the town area. Though the equipment wasn’t giving any kind of change, the ringing inside Chris’s head continued to become stronger as they got deeper.Even without the help of the machines, he could sense something creeping within the shadows. Of course, he can’t understand why it was not showing on the radar.“I was told there were beasts lurking around the mist, so what better place to look for them than in a forest?”Chris
“Masks on!”The shadows started releasing a purple smoke towards them. Uncertain of what it was, they put on their gas masks and began retreating further into the woods.Three men remained close by Chris’s side, staying within the range of one another, while their remaining companions continued to shoot at the unknown beings that chased them.“Sergeant, we mustn’t go any further.”Chris was getting a foreboding feeling the deeper they got into the forest. It caused every hair on his skin to stand. His knees were shaking from that risk and tension that was increasing.“Where else can we run?”One of their vanguards screamed aloud, catching up to them because of how slowly they moved. It was unavoidable, c
Uncertain if everything was real or not, Chris stayed silent as they hoisted him up from the pit that he was in. The person didn’t even exert any force, using only a single hand to pick him up as if he did not weigh a thing.He remained observing, trying to distinguish his rescuer. There were three of them, each wore glimmering armor, which shined like scales, having the shape of a beast for its helmet. It looked medieval, and they stood at almost seven feet tall, carrying swords, shields and spears that had intricate designs he could only see on games.They were busy poking and tinkering with his equipment, probably curious of the continues blinking and beeping sound that wa
“Die, you foul hell spawn!”Rombos jumped at it, slashing his sword at the thing. The beast instantaneously deflected the attack, swaying to the side to use the thick surface of its scale.It retaliated by swinging its massive rear like a whip, smashing straight to the ground. Rocks flew left and right as the earth cracked and rumbled.“Cortus, watch out for its tail!”The leader shouted as the youngest one targeted the creature’s back, without so much as a care for the part that the enemy boasted. “Damn this beast!”Rombus grunted, almost breaking his sword with that last swing. Once again, he got thrown when the beat swung its body.They barely scrape the scale near its heart, which was a crucial part in defeating the wyrm.This entire battle proved too much for just the three of them, considering that they were unprepared for an enemy as big as this one.“If only the others were here.”Cortus whined, nearly lost for breath. The youngster was holding out well, even if this was, in fact, his first patrol. Though it would have been better if they did not encounter such a creature.“We don’t have a choice. We’re just a scouting party.”Asron states, trying to clariThe Matriarch Chapter 29 New worlders
Somehow they averted the worst, though Chris didn’t want to butt in on the situation, understanding the repercussion that it could bring him, but because of how the group was being overpowered, he made the choice of helping. Hoping for the possibility that they will think of him as an ally. It was better than the latter, which was getting eaten by that gigantic serpent.Now all he had to face was the people that were jumping in joy at their accomplishment. If you could call that, cause they weren’t really able to kill that thing. He would have been more relaxed if that was the case, since he wouldn’t have to worry about it coming back for him.
