MY SPACE-TIME SYSTEM

472 Not taking chances.

Throughout the night and far into the day the beasts hadn’t attacked again. The human camp was filled with so much trepidation in the air that it was palpable.

They had no clue if or when the next attack would take place, making it impossible for them to do certain things.

By noon it was time for Blake as well as other captains to report on what they were doing so far.

The meeting was very brief because nothing had really happened so far in all parts of the southern wall.

The most interesting part of Blake’s visit to the wall wasn’t that the wall had moved 40 meters, but the attributes of the wall.

The batch of thranium crystals needed for the first stage of expansion had been completely absorbed and now metals with other natural resources were currently being fed to the wall.

‘Why does this expansion process make me feel like the wall is being fed?’ Blake couldn’t help but ask as the wall was letting out low rhythmic hums as it was breathing.

He would have loved to ask a lot of questions about the wall; like how it was created, how there were more of it in top cities, its living characteristics and so on but they were confidential information currently above his rank.

8 hours later, it had already gotten very dark and way past dinner time, but still, the beasts hadn’t attacked yet.

.....

This further increased the tension that had been piling up on the ash corps especially since it was night.

“It’s both scary and amazing that beasts can apply such a level of psychological warfare.” Blake said.

“What makes you think it is psychological warfare when they can still attack this night?” Camilla asked.

“The question is why should they attack this night? They can just wait out for the tension to cripple everyone before attacking and fleeing again.” Blake said.

“…” Camilla wanted to argue her point but that was when she really thought about it.

The lowest-ranking ash corp was at the peak of the champion realm, so they could go days without sleeping. The case was different for psychological stress because it would affect their decision-making on and off the battlefield.

“It’s not as if we can do anything about it. The fact that there is a possibility of being attacked tonight, we have to be on the lookout.” Camilla said.

“True. I would have loved to tell everyone to relax but it can be used against me if things were to go wrong.” Blake said.

…

A day later, the wall had 80% completed its first stage of expansion but they hadn’t still been attacked by beasts.

It was now time for the special ops and ash corps to clear both the beasts and trees in the next area.

This was most likely the period that the beasts would attack since they would be at an environmental disadvantage, but it wasn’t as if they had any other choice.

In order to increase their success rate the higher-ups decided that both groups would go into the forest together. If the beasts were to attack the special ops would deal with the high-ranking beasts while the normal corps take care of the normal beasts.

“Everything about this is screaming it is a bad plan.” Blake said as he led both groups into the forest. The downside of the plan was that so many people being around meant a lot of liabilities and ineffectiveness since they were separate teams.

If things were to go wrong because of their foolishness or incompetence it would surely affect him in one way or another.

Since they were entering into unmarked areas and had no detection arrays, they had to move in slowly.

After 4 hours of running, jumping through the trees and digging the ground for beasts. They had decided it was time to come to a halt and begin cutting the trees behind.

‘If we are able to cut down all the trees before an attack then the beasts would lose their environmental advantage.’ Blake said.

[I guess they were also aware of that because they are here.] The system reported to Blake

“Take your battle positions!” Blake announced and without thinking everyone including Camilla’s team got into formation.’

‘What are we dealing with?’ Blake asked.

[3 king rank beasts, 10 knight rank, 80 elite rank beasts and more still entering my detection range.] The system reported.

‘What the fuck?! How did they go from 1 to 3?!’ Blake cursed his bad luck.

‘Let’s hope we can deal with a king rank beast.’ Blake said as he took out Ebony and Ivory from his dimensional pocket and threw them to the enemy.

AWOOO!

The wolves howled as they took their Haiti and Skoll form.

…

On the opposite part of the battlefield.

After the first attack on the humans, only one group hadn’t returned and that was those sent to Blake. Not even a single beast had made it out alive meaning they had no idea of what or how they had been killed.

_{𝑓r𝘦𝘦𝘄eb𝒏𝙤vel.c𝙤𝙢}

To make sure that that scenario didn’t repeat itself they sent triple the previous number.

The first king rank beast was an ant queen, the second was a raptor kite and the final was an armored gorilla.

When they saw the wolves appear, the group immediately knew what happened to the koodron and other beasts.

Although the aura coming from Haiti and Skoll wasn’t as ferocious as last time, it involuntarily made them shiver.

The only reason they hadn’t retreated was that the wolves were outnumbered and they were not planning on fighting them to the death.

Since they were 3, the ant queen which had the strongest defense amongst the 3, and the raptor kite which had the highest mobility would stall them while the armored gorilla massacred the humans.
