After entering the bar, Clark didn’t see anything that indicated this place as his country fleet’s hide-out. The bar was as boisterous as any other; the men here smoked and drank recklessly, as they sometimes burst into loud fits of laughter unexpectedly.
What peeved him a bit was the way the men groped the female waiters. The expression on their faces showed their unwillingness, but they could only hide it behind a strained smile. This was their business after all.
Despite feeling a little annoyed, he was still able to control himself. It was none of his business; he already learned the trait of absolute self-control, from his many experiences.
The man escorting him suddenly made a sharp turn to the left; he followed the man as he was led to a dark corner. He kept quiet, despite a wall obstructing them now.
The man suddenly moved forward again, as he knocked softly on the wall. As he knocked, a blue glow suddenly flashed briefly past his hand. Before
Thank you for reading this chapter, I really appreciate it.
The next day, after settling everything needed, the huge fleet of the Spartan republic finally embarked on their journey. After preparing a room for Emily next to his room on the main ship, Clark finally prepared to attend his first military meeting in years.The tailors of the fleet, in conjunction with the tailoring A.I’s, prepared a completely brand new Spartan uniform for him. As the fleet was not facing an enemy, the higher-ups could wear their uniforms in the fleet, as no one would recognize them.The unique color of the Spartan uniform, blue, black, and white, stood out, making him look like a man of authority. Sergeants were the 2nd strongest soldiers and the most important individuals in the fleet, so they had an exalted status.The uniform was so immaculately made that he could not help smiling, as he admired its sharp and delicate edges. Paired with his slightly dark-toned skin, his current look was enough to win him an award.The badge i
A week slowly passed, as the Spartan fleet moved unhindered in the boundless waters of the Mediterranean Sea. For this period, they were fortunate to not have encountered any hostile fleet.Clark’s multiple battle encounters with the Camelotian fleet, was mostly due to their luck completely abandoning them. If fleets fought battles so frequently, no expedition forces of the various countries will ever return home intact.Throughout the week, Captain Oxford was maintaining constant communication with the Captain of the Dawn kingdom. After a lot of calculations, they finally decided on a location for both fleets to converge.Today, both fleets finally met each other for the first time. The 3 formidable-looking ships of the Spartan fleet slowly came to a halt in the middle of the sea, as they faced their allies.The lower-ranked soldiers and workers of the fleet could only guess why they were meeting an unknown fleet, but no one asked. They knew
Today was the 3rd day since the allied fleet embarked on their journey, to the general direction of the vault. They continued their preparations for this extremely important mission.After training every day for the past few years with only cold weapons as a gladiator, Clark was finally going to brush up again on his skills with the gun.Back in his days as a gladiator, he didn’t completely abandon his gun training. He still used his old implant to simulate training arenas, where he trained his mastery of the gun. Though he seldom did it, he was still able to retain his shooting skills.Emily and Scott accompanied him to the ranged training arena, as he got ready to take his aptitude test again.After staying together for more than a week, Sergeant Scott already kind of became his assistant. Despite being soldiers of the same rank, the Sergeant respected him so much, that he listened to his orders on everything.He also liked his company. Des
The golden rays of the sun shone down, illuminating the surface and edges of the advancing line of ships.The waves of the sea flowed at their regular pattern, as the allied fleet moved forward. The 7 formidable-looking ships drifted forward, as their surfaces reflected an orange metallic sheen, due to the direct glare of the sun.5 of the ships soon stopped, as they quickly started forming a defensive perimeter around the area. The remaining 2 ships continued their journey forward, as they gradually drifted away from the rest.After a lot of brainstorming, the allied force decided to leave most of their ships behind. Their destination is dangerous. They did not want to enter a situation, where their vulnerable countrymen would die because of mistakes that they made.If they were not able to make it out alive, at least their other forces would be able to return safely to their various countries to bring the news of their death back.The 2 departing
The Mediterranean Sea, being one of the largest and deepest seas in the world has several sources where it gets its large supply of water. Its most important channels and primary inflows are the Atlantic Ocean, the Sea of Marmara, the Nile, Ebro, Rhone, Chelif, and Po.With a surface area of 2,500,000km2, its area is also outrageously wide and boundless. With an average depth of 1,500m, it is also one of the deepest water bodies in the world.It has a large water volume of 3,750,000km3 and being a sea that has been in existence for over 200 years ago, it housed some of the oldest and most dangerous predators of the sea.Though the advancing groups of soldiers were not afraid to have an encounter with a sea predator, an exobeast sea predator was a different matter entirely. They preferred it more if their exploration was without any other complications.Clark kept silent, as the darkness of the sea started hindering their vision a bit. Blue glows started a
The shockwave from the bright red beam shot at them was so forceful that despite not killing them, it flung all the alliance soldiers to various corners of the chamber they found themselves.Despite one of their comrade dying so quickly, as high-grade soldiers, they were all battle-hardened and skilled war veterans. As soon as they landed, they rolled to negate the force, as they finally turned to observe their surroundings and to face this monstrous entity directly.They were in some kind of mechanical workshop, as mechanical parts were littered all over the place. Metal structures took almost all the space of the room, leaving only a little space for them to stand on.They did not have the luxury to observe their surroundings to their fill, as they had a more immediate problem to face. They finally raised their heads, to look at their intimidating opponent.With blue glowing eyes like light bulbs, the figure of the giant mechanical soldier loomed over t
Captain Oxford’s armor held despite the force and momentum behind the strike, but his face twisted in agony as pain erupted all over his body. The sword on his hands became heavy for him to hold, as his hands became numb from the impact.His figure flew backward like a speeding ship without a sailor, as his bulky form finally hit the iron walls with a loud boom sound. His figure created a dent in the reinforced iron walls, remaining stuck in it like a traitor on a stake, about to be sentenced to death.His brain grew muddled and blurry, as he fought hard to keep his consciousness. He felt terrible, like all the bones in his body were displaced and bent out of shape. The pain was excruciating.The other soldier’s eyes widened in horror, as they finally came to a realization. The mechanical soldier they were fighting against previously was just the secondary form of this bringer of terror.This streamlined, sword-wielding form was the original a
Hmmm!! Captain Oxford’s armor dematerialized from his face as he grunted in a deep tone, before vomiting out the blood overflowing in his throat. After emptying the blood, he cleaned his mouth with his hand as he finally felt the fatigue from the battle overwhelming him.He was weak, but he forced himself to stand as he looked at the bloodstains all around the room. He was the Captain, if he was the first to drop from exhaustion, it would undoubtedly affect the morale of his soldiers.The battle was still a stunner to them. They never expected to get involved in such a battle with a mechanical soldier, shortly after entering the passage of their choice.He didn’t know when last he got involved in a battle where the odds were completely against him, like this one. They would have all died, if not for Clark’s timely use of his stealth armor. The high-grade stealth armor was the only reason they were still alive.Despite them emerging as th
