The beautiful beast.

Chapter 34

   ADAAF central base

   Salute! Permission to report?”

  “At ease soldier! Speak" 

  Dropping his hands to his side the young soldier hesitated for a while as if what he wanted to say was heavy on his tongue.

  Seeing this General Lebronsky who was already tired from having to deal with new problems before finishing the old ones surged with annoyance.

  “Talk will you!”

  “Sor-sorry general.”

  Taking a deep breath,the soldier was finally able to compose himself before saying with difficulty.

   “Camp Raisin was attacked." 

 "What did you say?!”

  Abruptly the general rose up from his seat while a wild dangerous aura spread outwards from him causing the young soldier to uncontrollably step back in fear.

  “Oh!”

  Looking at the pale face of the soldier General Lebronsky quickly reined back his aura in. He had just been injected with the powermaster serum and was still in the process of getting used to the changes it brought to him therefore there were occasional leaks that he couldn't control.

  This was one of the disadvantages of the powermaster serum which wasn't really a disadvantage as they could train aura control.

  “I'm sorry about that,can you narrate what exactly happened.”

 Still terrified from the experience he just had the young soldier nodded like a hen pecking at rice before giving a recount of the situation.

 When the soldier had finished his recount he stopped while observing the general as he slowly sat down,a downcast expression flourishing on his face.

   “So old Tyson is gone?”

  Remembering the old days when he and Tyson had just became recruits a nostalgic look came to his eyes. It was just like yesterday. They had gone through the thick and thins of life together. They were practically brothers. Although they went seperate paths in life with him staying in the military and Tyson leaving nothing had changed. They still spoke to each other whenever they had the free time.

  In fact,he was the one that gave him the coordinates to the abandoned military base when the apocalypse just started.

  Now, hearing that his old buddy had died a melancholoc wave washed over him.

  “First was camp Moonwheel and then camp Darklight and now camp Raisin? The threat of this Alpha, blade,is far greater than we estimated!”

   It turned out that it was not only camp Raisin that had been attacked as there were two other camps who were unfortunate to have also suffered the same fate. The only difference was just that unlike the other two camps that were lucky to receive reinforcements from the military, camp Raisin had none and thus they had the highest losses with over half of their powermasters dead.

Just from what the soldier recounted he didn't need any complex maths to understand that the camp was vulnerable right now!

  The chances of them joining the jointo strike force was probably very low. In fact it should be a solid no as there was no way they would even join. Their main effort would be on protecting their camp from any further attack.

  Rubbing his temples he felt a massive headache coming up as the thought of how to make up for the loss in manpower plagued him.

  But then….

   “S-sir?”

  Glancing at the soldier,he thought to himself that he really had to work on his aura judging from how scared the poor guy was he might start having nightmares.

  Nodding he gave the go ahead signal to him.

   Well before the communication lines were cut off,the acting leader of the Stinging Nettles,Vice-captain Tracy Holland, confirmed their participation on the attack.”

  “Oh, okay then…..wait what?!" 

   Hearing this General Lebronsky was already nodding in approval before the meaning of the words hit him. A look of pure surprise was on his face as he asked.

   “Repeat what you said just now?”

  “Hmm okay.”

  After hearing what the soldier said the second time he could confirm that his ears weren't playing games with him.

   “Why did they insist on coming when they should be focused on holding the fort?" 

  "I don't really know sir but from the tone of vice-captain Tracy I had a feeling that she was extremely furious.”

  “Ok then,you're dismissed.”

  “Sir yes sir!" 

   After the soldier had gone out general Lebronsky pondered for a while before ultimately giving up. He couldn't fanthom why the Raisin camp made such a choice.

   Regardless he still had to make preparations for the upcoming battle against the Alpha. Picking up the intercom on his desk,he punched in some numbers before placing the reciever against his ear. Immediately a voice came through.

  “General? What are your orders?" 

     " How many people have we been able to give the powermaster serum?”

  “Just a little bit over three hundred. We are still in the process of making the serum and by the end of today another thirty-five figures should have joined the previous amount. At the end of this month we should be able to finish the whole population." 

  " Okay good then but…”

  Hearing the generals compliment the individual on the other side was relieved however the ‘but’ caused the person to instantly become tense.

 For those in his career line it was always the buts that caused trouble for them. Hearing the word was literally a declaration that something impossible was about to be asked of them.

  And true enough he was correct!

   “I want everyone to have received the serum in the next two days. Relay my orders to all the relevant departments—operation Hellcat is about to start!" 

  PIM!

  Standing up from his chair,the general placed his hand behind his back before walking to the window. Looking at the activities down below he couldn't help but mutter.

   “I hope we can pull through.!”
