In Serpent’s Haven’s night sky, the containers' parachutes opened up, slowly descending onto the island. Remote-controlled drones were on the scene, relaying endless video feeds to headquarters. The sky bathed in moonlight became a lot less peaceful, and everyone hiding inside the containers was quietly waiting for their own container to land.***Back at Novemton headquarters, Crystal and the others were sitting inside the command room, quietly watching the video feed from the drones. Everyone seemed very tense, worried whether the enemy would notice the parachutes. The moment they were spotted, everyone's lives depended solely on the bertrandium's capabilities. The female anchor of Novemton News held her breath, staggering as she said, "War Legate Draco and his team have commenced the paradrop. It would seem as though the enemy hasn't noticed their presence. But over the next few minutes, the enemy radars will detect them."Those watching the news remained silent as though afr

The moment Ivy dropped, all the workers inside Novemton headquarters, including scientists and professors, quickly calculated where she had landed. Crystal's fists were clenched and a frown adorned her face. Novemton News' anchor excitedly yelled, "The enemy has spotted us! The sky is being hurled with rains of fire, piercing through the parachutes and causing the containers to fall at high speeds! The real battle has begun!" 'It has started!'Everyone waited with bated breaths.***Meanwhile, endless fireballs streaked across the sky. They hit the parachutes and containers, and the massive attacks caused huge explosions on the bertrandium containers. Adrian heard his men reporting one after another."Sir, my parachute's been hit and I'm falling!""My parachute's damaged. I'm falling real fast!""Me too!" Hearing these reports, he said, "We've already anticipated for such a thing to happen, so stay calm, everyone. Your containers have been specially modified to dampen i

Following the voice, more than a dozen men walked out of the woods. They were carrying flashlights, searching for the container that had landed there. Upon seeing this, Adrian quickly activated his container's mechanism and stepped out while the others had not noticed him or his container yet. The leader of the group scoured the place until finally, they found the container."Look! Over here! I've found it!""Hurry, hurry…""How the hell is the container so tough? How did it manage to get away with only slight deformities after falling from such a height?"A few of them were rather shocked.They surrounded the container, while the leader spoke through his communicator. "Headquarters, do you read me? We've found a container at point 45.""Headquarters here. Inspect the containers and report back if you come across any problems.""Roger." The leader put down his communicator and gestured for his men to study the container carefully. Right as they were about to do so, one of th

Klause was about to lead his men to point 218 for a search and rescue when something unexpected happened…A Wyvern Peak soldier patrolling nearby rushed back and said, "Sir, we've got trouble. Ronaldo Seusse's team has located our base, and five hundred men have surrounded us. The other units on the island are also on the move. We have to switch locations now!"Klause staggered to a halt when he heard this.Lucas took a deep breath and asked, "Did you manage to contact Steel?""Battle Warrior Steel is probably on the other side of the island, making it very hard for us to reach him. We have to retreat at once, sir, before it's too late!""But what about our comrade at point 218?" Lucas asked. Klause took a deep breath. He was planning on going to point 218 to help, but now, it would seem as though they were in a precarious position themselves. If they tried to assist any further, it would surely spell death for them.He replied, "Sir, for the sake of the bigger picture, we must

At the same time, on a mountain along Northrive's natural moat stood a temporary outpost with eight young men and women laying low. Among them was a short-haired woman around nineteen years old. She was chewing gum and had a phone to her ear, speaking with Crystal at headquarters."Hello?" Crystal said."Hello, Your Majesty. My name is Maggie Cullens. I'm from an unofficial team of hackers. Our drone has entered Serpent's Haven, and it’s special. I can get War Legate Draco to point 218 in under a minute," Maggie said with a smile. "Can I trust you?""I swear to you in the name of my team's ideals. Please ask the legate to grab onto my drone, and I'll be able to fly him low and fast. He'll arrive at point 218 in no time. Please, you have to trust me."There was no time for Crystal to consider Maggie's intentions, plus it would take the various social platforms a lot more time to find the fastest route. Hence, she replied, "Maggie, is it? Okay, I trust you, but you have to understa
