Chapter 3 - The Vanquisher? (1/2)
The next morning, Cale went out of his room and checked the time. It was still 7:30 in the morning, thirty minutes before the deadline he gave Colonel Sanders.
He walked towards the open field which was right outside the main base of Earth Alliance.
Major General Cale, as one of the leading figures of Earth Alliance, was given a luxurious villa, but he declined the offer and chose to live inside the base camp together with the soldiers.
The top brass of the Alliance were perplexed when he rejected their gift, but they still did not give him much problem as they were afraid of making the infamous Gun Sovereign angry.
Cale himself had his reasons when he rejected their offer. It was not just him who sacrificed his life in repelling the unknown group, but he received better rewards as he was a Major General. So as to be fair with the low ranking soldiers, he declined all the material rewards and just had the Alliance provide his squad with better equipments.
He arrived in the open field at exactly 8 in the morning and saw the Phantom Wolf Squad were already there waiting for him. Even the cowardly Colonel Sanders was already with them.
Cale stopped in front of them and regarded the squad members one by one by nodding his head in approval.
”My brothers, the mission we are about to do is something unlike any mission we had before. I felt something different this time which has never happened in my 49 years of living. This might be a bad omen of some sort, but I knew no one else can accomplish this mission aside from my Phantom Wolf Squad. I took the mission as this might help mankind turn the tides of war. That is of course if we accomplish it successfully. Despite this foreboding feeling I'm getting, I am a hundred percent positive that we can accomplish this mission as what we always did.” He looked at them solemnly and his gaze stopped at Colonel Sanders. ”Colonel Sanders, tell them the details of the mission.” Cale said without a hint of change in his emotion.
”Sir yes sir!” Colonel Sanders saluted Cale and said ”The mission is to save Major Murphey and extract the information about the origin of the unknown group from him.”
The Phantom Wolf Squad members listened intently and one of them could not help but ask ”Where was he last tracked?”
Colonel Sanders gulped nervously and said with a grave tone ”Before we lost communications with Major Murphey, his last location was at Ndebele Village, Zimbabwe. It appears that the Eagle Reconnaissance Squad was discovered when they were about to escape from the enemy territory. The worst thing is that Ndebele Village is one of their largest base camp. Major Murphey also said on his report that there were a lot of elite soldiers guarding the camp and they also spotted about a dozen fighter robots. And this mission was given the highest importance level since this involves the origins of our enemy.”
The members of the Phantom Wolf Squad looked indifferent, but they felt nervous inwardly when they learned that the last location where Major Murphey was found was inside one of the enemies main bases. The fact that the base camp had about a dozen fighter robots also signified its importance.
