Chapter 1849 The Culprits
Chapter 1849 The Culprits
"Everyone, song be impulsive! In order to save lives, you must value yours even more." A commander standing next to Landon, quickly cautioned the entire group of 800 men! Landon nodded to him, before giving a signal to those standing above the giant colossal gates.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Those above began shooting at the creatures roaming around the gates, driving them further in. Look at the gates! Imagine Jurassic park gates, but 3 times taller and stronger. Understand that once the gates are opened… just as they could go in, creatures could also go out if not careful. Growl!~"
It took a lot of sniper tranquilizer bullets and darts to get these massive beasts to sleep. Bram! Some dropped to the ground close to where they were shit, while others could still walk on further and report into the forest before giving way. So strong! After getting shot with 12 high volume darts, you can still move that far in? (0@0)
.
5 minutes later…
"All clear!!" Bram! Bram! Bram! Bram!
Layer by layer, the many mechanical gate barriers doors opened. Every mechanical grind only made the atmosphere even more tense than it already was. Grahhhhhh~
What was that? Everyone could hear the sounds of nature's tunnels far within the massive forest plains.
Oh my ancestors! Are you sure those growls belong to ordinary beasts and not monsters? Many peoples pupils dilated in groggy uncertainty m as they subconsciously tightened their hands around their weapons. Within the team, half wore ordinary military gears, while the other half wore the latest Mecha Iron man styled suits. Just because these suits exist, doesn't mean they will have to slowly rely on them. That's why even during this mission, only half the group had these suits on. Very quickly, units that are composed of men in fully armored suits, where to go ahead first. Their goal was to search the entire Dome of The Fierce and spot the rescue targets.
Again, one cannot emphasize enough how massive this place was. Note that this place wasn't some sort of level ground or developed city plain that made searching easy.
The way hills, slopes, valleys, edges by cliff sides that looked like they led to bottomless ends, swamps, and so on. Don't get him started on the mist in there. This was already spring, and all the bare trees and bushes had now started growing their leaves back. 20:38
Of course, sole tough trees like cypresses and many stranger ones, have always stayed fully clothed no matter the season.
Another strange thing to note, was that in winter and spring, the forest was still very bushy, especially with the enemy, hence of some mysterious planet that only bloomed during these times. These spring and winter trees and plants sleep for Summer and Fall, only waking from slumber sometime in Late December. Sure enough, this world was unscientific, no matter how one looks at it. .
"Stay sharp, Sprouts. You're entering a world unlike anything you've ever faced!"
As the gates opened, several commanders and leaders raised their folded fists high up for their team to see. 1, 2, 3… Move Out! The military soldiers and Marines wasted no time trudging into the Dome of the Fierce.
After stepping through There was a 120 feet open clearing space between the walls and where the forest actually started. This was great, for those on the walls shooting at incoming charging beasts. But for them in the open space who were charging into the forest, they were like prey on plates, visible to those lurking in the woods a little far from the clearing. And soon… Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bullets began flying in all directions as all units broke apart to begin the search.
There were too many grounds to cover in such little time. 4 days! That's the max they were given to complete the mission. Of course, there are 2 main giant giants used to enter sector 1 (the forest/ dome of the fierce.)
The first one is the one Landon and 800 men used to enter through, and the other one was on the other side. Of course, the entire Zone 2 was a Ring surrounding zone 1. So all the other team had to do was drive round the ring to get to the other side. Remember, they needed to cover as much ground as possible for this rescue mission. Some Arcadinians soldiers from the barracks also joined in, since guarding and protecting the people from the forest was a job for not just Baymard, but them too. This was a time to showcase all superior skills they learned and mastered during this time. Davey blinked when rushing onwards. "Listen carefully, team, our mission… is to rescue the captured Arcadinian civilians captured by the herd Grachin Vultures." Grachin vultures were enormous birds the size of adult humans who go around catching children and taking them back to their nests. Although these vultures were the same size as humans, they would never go for adults because adults could also fight back and injure them terribly.
But when it comes to children, especially those around the ages of 5 or 6, these vultures have no problem dragging them off, no matter how hard a child tries to resist. These vultures have existed long in the history books, ages ago. So it was safe to say that in Pyno and even in Zohl and Veinitta, attacks from them were very frequent. They were home to Pyno, Zohl and Veinitta. Thus over time, humans also found ways to cope and counterattack whenever a swarm of these birds were reported incoming. It's true. These birds never acted alone, but always in flocks. When this happened, children were immediately sent indoors, and even those on the roads were told to grab onto whatever they could find as tightly as they could. Also knights and soldiers always followed these vultures on horseback, fighting and driving them off whenever they made their moves in Spring, summer, and fall.
Jumping over a massive but skinny fallen tree, Davey swallowed hard when hearing the mission's full scope. "That's odd…" he blurted out, confusion etched in his face. "The Dome of The Fierce isn't their natural habitat area. So why did they do this?"
