Nathan and Selena had reached the military camp. Compared to the one led by Alavenya, the situation wasn’t any different.
A lot of soldiers were injured, but the scale of this camp was much larger than what they had seen.
Unfortunately, there was nothing they could do to help them. Even Nathan had to conserve Anubis’ Ena, especially since Anubis could finally use Synchronization.
Fortunately, the situation became easier with the soldiers compared to the one with Alavenya.
The moment they saw the badge of the Frexia Academy, a soldier immediately approached them and led them right after he saw the letter.
It only took them five minutes to actually reach the commander’s tent.
They could see the commander, who happened to be a summoner, and fourteen of his officers.
Looking at the map on the table with all the pieces scattered around, it was clear that they were in the middle of a meeting.
The commander squinted his eyes as the soldier informed out loud, “These two are the summoners from the Frexia Academy.”
The officers were whispering to each other as if they were judging them, while the commander calmly nodded.
The commander then waved his hand, telling the officers to leave them for a moment. Only one officer actually remained inside the tent, as if he would play a role in their mission.
“I am William. I’m thankful that you two have come all the way here.” The commander nodded his head.
Both Nathan and Selena could sense the Ena coming from him. Despite being stronger than them as a summoner, the commander didn’t look down on them.
That was why Nathan and Selena politely nodded. Since this was the mission Selena picked, Nathan let Selena handle the rest.
Selena stepped forth and introduced themselves. “I am Selena Ashton. With me here is Nathan. We have accepted the mission that this army has posted at the Frexia Academy.”
“You have come at the perfect time.” The commander nodded. “I happen to be in need of both of you right now.
“Not long ago, we received the potential of a mature class alien coming toward us. That’s why I want you to work together with David to confirm and locate the mature class alien.”
Nathan fell into deep thought while Selena explained, “Of course. Since we come here to help this army, we are prepared for the mission.”
“I’m thankful that you think this way.” The commander pointed at the map. “This is our location. There is one more camp up south, which is the one informing us about the danger.
“They only see a huge shadow coming from a distance without being able to confirm its shape.
“That shadow is moving toward our camp. That’s why I want you to go to the south and find out all their trails.
“Currently, the southern camp can’t send forth their own forces because the aliens are actually coming at full force.”
Selena couldn’t help but ask, “Should we also check the southern camp?” frёewebηovel.cѳm
“No. The southern camp has a lot more soldiers compared to us, and their commander is stronger than me. They can hold on if they want, but the problem is that they’re fully occupied.
“Hence, they want us to deal with the mature class alien and the rest of the aliens that slip past them by ourselves.
“That’s why the area will be flooded with aliens. And I want you to work with David so that he can find the mature class.”
Selena looked at the map. The plan was rather simple and reasonable. If there was indeed a mature class alien, it would be troublesome. The commander would probably make his move once they found this alien, but if he recklessly left this place and the camp was attacked, it would be devastating.
Besides, their main objective in this mission was to kill the aliens and get a lot of cores for her and Nathan. So this situation was perfect.
Selena looked at the map and asked, “I have one question. What will we do upon discovering the mature class alien?”
“As soon as you confirm its existence, immediately return to the camp. Unfortunately, the alien is not something you can handle.”
Selena was a bit confused as to why they would bring in a first year like them instead of a second year or even a third year, since they could handle the mature class alien.
The commander added, “As stated, the reward will be based on your result for the next two weeks. You will have the right to all cores from the aliens you kill in this period. Do you have any other questions?”
Selena shook her head. “No. We will agree with your arrangement.”
The commander nodded, satisfied. “Alright. You two can go right away.”
Unbeknownst to them, the mission wouldn’t be as simple as they originally expected.
As the commander said, he had been dispatching all units in all directions to scout around the area so as to prevent any aliens from coming to the human territory. hosted-on-NovelFire
However, there was something different east of his camp.
Two soldiers who were patrolling couldn’t help but notice an open cave hidden by vines.
“Is there anyone talking about this cave?” asked one of them.
“I don’t think so.” The other shook his head. “We don’t have the torch or any equipment to explore this cave, so I suggest we mark it down and let the others do the exploration.”
“True.” His partner nodded. He immediately turned around, going back to the original route, but when he was about to say another thing, he couldn’t find his friend. “Hey—!”
The guy was confused as he looked around and suddenly saw an alien. The tentacles on the alien’s head suddenly wrapped around his forehead, his cheek, and his neck.
He struggled to break free as the tentacles on his neck were choking him, but the other tentacles started applying more pressure as the guy was glaring at the alien with a tentacle covering his mouth.
“Mmmfff!” The guy wanted to say something, but that was the last sound he made before his head exploded because of so much force from the tentacles.
The alien grabbed the fallen body and dragged it back to the cave.
