Chapter 82: Betraying
Chapter 82: Betraying
Rushing through the alleys, Shane passed many guards that looked doubtful at him, while he didn’t mind them a single glance
`Please!!` He shouted in his mind, hoping that his feet might bring him faster towards the shelter hall that came into his view.
Shane was still unsure how the military couldn’t detect something as easy as this and the only reason he could somehow think of was that the highest military ranks left the shelter, leaving a few lower ranked and younger youths behind.
These soldiers most likely reached the Expert stage with a slightly higher mana purity at that, while their way of thinking might as well be naive.
He knew much more about the military than most peers and for him, the radar’s function was obvious, while it might look like a malfunction to others.
Charging into the shelter hall he ran past two tired guards that noticed him too late, as he entered the entrance hall where the radar was standing.
Shane immediately saw more than ten youths in a military outfit, while only four of them seemed to have reached the age of 20, causing him to frown.
“Who are you? What are you doing here? Don’t you know that disturbing the military is considered a sin!?” A blonde-haired youth with handsome features said slightly annoyed when he saw Shane.
Immediately understanding that Shane was more handsome than he was, the blond-haired youth felt like he had to show off his military rank.
“I don’t care a shit about the garbage your saying! What the f**k are you guys even doing here, instead of preparing for a beast tide?” Shane shouted enraged, hitting the ten militaries off guard, as they stared at him dumbfounded.
`What the hell is this idiot saying?` most of them thought as a bulkier brown-haired man in his 20’s calmly explained.
“Civilian, you might now be aware of the current situation, but our combat force is already out and about to annihilate the thunder wolf’s threat. After fixing the radar, everything will be fine, okay? Just go back and let us do our job.”
Shane felt relieved to see that the military acted calm towards civilians instead of beating him into a pulp but this would be only the case if they were doing what they were supposed to.
Without minding their existence, Shane walked closer to the radar, with a shocked expression appearing on his face.
“If you guys were able to do your job, each of you would know that an overlapping radar frequency indicated two different kinds of beasts gathering together.
Furthermore, because the frequency on the radar stable, they don’t seem to attack each other…
Can’t you guys see that a large group of dots is coming straight towards us… ohh my f**king lord….How many awakened beasts are that?!!?”
Shane was shocked, as he looked at the brown-haired guys, indicating him to come closer, which the perplexed young man did subconsciously.
Somehow the black-haired youth in front of him emitted an aura and confidence he perceived from the military highest authorities, causing him to act disciplined as he learned over the last few months.
Upon looking on the radar’s holographic screen, his eyes widened, as he told the others who looked at Shane disapproving with doubt glimmering in their eyes, to come over.
Hearing the seriousness in their fellow comrade’s voice, they sensed that something was wrong, as they came closer, only to see a large swarm of dots with different frequencies coming straight towards their position.
Even if they doubted Shane before, how could they stand within the shelter-hall as if nothing might happen, while a large-scale beast tide might happen any moment?
“How d-didn’t we notice that before?!” The blond-haired youth who acted overconfident a moment before, shuddered violently for a moment before he took out a purple crystal with a black shining rune inscribed on it, as he injected mana into it.
The black rune manifested above the purple, crystal and they could suddenly hear voices through the runes after a few moments.
“What is wrong, Leo? Don’t you know we are about to attack the Wolf den?! If this is nothing important again, I’ll beat you up into a pulp” A young but powerful voice said and Shane immediately knew that it had to be their superior.
`They haven’t attacked yet? YES` he almost shouted out, as he heard Leo’s trembling voice
“S..Si..Sir.. We ha…ve..a problem….W–Wee…WHAT” Leo’s trembling voice was interrupted with Shane rushing towards him, taking over the purple crystal as he said.
“Sir, we have a problem within the shelter, due to your subordinate’s wonderful work…
They couldn’t detect a Two-race beast tide.
The number of awakened beasts ranges from 500 to several thousand, while even more elite and wild stage beasts are charging towards us…
Our information are limited and I can only assume that one of the two races are scaled lizards… The shelter defenses are still not completely set up and it will at most take 10 minutes for the first beasts to reach our walls.”
Shane finished, before he pushed back the purple messenger crystal towards Leo, not without glaring at him with disgust.
Stepping back, he could only hear the superior shouting
“WHAT?!? YOU GODDAMN B**CHES…..Immediately set up the shelter’s defenses and stall time until we arrive…. I’ll kill you all if a single soldier dies, ALRIGHT?”
Hearing this, everyone’s face paled and Shane wanted to walk out of the shelter hall unnoticed, unfortunately, his plan didn’t work out.
“The young man who reported to me was not someone from your unit, is that correct?” Shane barely heard, causing his steps to halt.
`Don’t you have something better to do right now?` Shane thought as he turned around, only to see the ten soldiers glaring at him because he betrayed them indirectly.
“He is only a civilian” Leo answered honestly after he calmed down slightly
“Oh…interesting… Tell him that I want to speak with him once everything is over… Now prepare your defenses!!” The young man said as he ended the call.
`Can’t they let me in peace?` Shane lamented in his mind.
However, noticing the glarings from his surroundings as even the brown-haired seemed to be annoyed from his report, Shane decided to run off, while saying
“I understood your superior, bye…good surviving!”
