Book 5, Chapter 40 – Setup
Rotwolf Ravine was home to countless rotwolf nests, that's how it earned its nah toOutpost
It wasn't the best location for a settlement Often, they were harassed by the rotwolves However, the underground river provided enough incentive that the settlerown to house over ten thousand people despite the dangers
Today, it was facing a calaroup of sweepers had arrived fro to take the settlement
Without a word the invaders had attacked, slaughtering indiscrih the dirt roads, with the outpost's leader aht, Howling Outpost beca the ree wastelands it was a familiar one
Dawn approached from the air aboard one of Greenland's planes She could see the corpses left out to rot, many of which had become meals for the wolves
“bastards!” Fury bubbled up inside Dawn Howling Outpost was under Greenland's protection Were the fools who did this testing them? Did they think Greenland wouldn't respond? Now that this evil deed was done, they couldn't just sit back and watch Today, it was Howling Outpost; tomorroould be next? If Greenland didn't stand by its promises, it was only a matter of time before others started to question their loyalty
Dawn gestured toward the pilot “Faster Hurry up!”
They sped closer Although some distance still re the simple horay Sweepers wandered through the outpost, slaughtering as they willed She could hear the cries of pain and sadness carried on the wind
Her anger broiled, nearly out of her control But even so, she was clear-headed enough to recognize that so was amiss
These worthless thugs could have attacked anywhere Why Howling Outpost? Was it possible they didn't knoas under Greenland's protection? Unlikely Greenland had beenon It didn't make any sense
But it didn't elica from its sheath in preparation
From several hundred meters in the air, she jumped from her plane toward the outpost below The shocked faces of her fellow Polaris soldiers watched from the plane, unable to stop her
Dawn plu behind Terrangelica was held firleam reflected in her murderous eyes She would not allow anyone to disturb the tranquility they fought so hard for in Greenland Anyone who dared challenge what they'd built would pay for their sins in blood
As she neared the sweepers below felt her lethal aura descending their way They raised their heads and stared in shock
So… beautiful!
Her lithe body, long legs and voluptuous chest were the first things they noticed It was like watching an angel descend from heaven Surely, there was no woman like her in the wastelands She had to have come from some mystical place
Dawned sla into the earth before her feet touched it, causing the terrain to explode Power rippled out with Terrangelica as the epicenter, followed by blasts of energy that lashed out like serpents Each blast caught the sweepers who tried to close in around her
B-O-O-O-M!
A jagged spike of earth impaled a number of unfortunate attackers
Hundredsspikes of stone erupted all around her in an instant Her foes were killed or mauled before they had time to react In the moment of her arrival, nearly a hundred sweepers were eliminated
Those that remained stared at her in shock and horror What human possessed this kind of power? Was this beautiful creature from the sky human at all or some sort of Goddess? How else could she summon power like that?
The wastelanders shook themselves out of their stupor “Fire! Kill the bitch, kill her!”
Guns were raised and began to spray the area But when the bullets came near each one was deflected by an invisible wall of force
Sparks were flying everywhere, but the bullets caused no dae! To the naked eye it looked like Daas encased in a shell of glass The bullets struck the glass and caused it to crack, but the fissures vanished as soon as they appeared
“DIE, you roaches!” Daung her sword, casting forth a blast of power in front of her Nearly a dozen spikes as thick as baround beneath her attackers' feet They were speared to death before they could even scream
