Chapter 3737 Support
Several Covenant soldiers who had managed to escape also stopped and gathered around Motul, panting heavily, feeling as if they had been given a second chance at life.
Was it luck?
It seems the Lickers didn't chase after us?
If the Lickers were to pursue them, given their terrifying speed and endurance, they would have no chance of survival.
Without a second thought, Motur immediately took the communicator from his subordinate and connected to the superior's communication channel.
"Sir! Emergency! Depository Point 18 has been attacked by intruders! The enemy is extremely powerful and they have suspected traces of the Seed of Ouroboros! Requesting immediate support!"
The electrical noise in the communication channel suddenly increased.
"What did you say?!"
"Traces of what appears to be the Seed of Ouroboros. The enemy numbers over three hundred. Our energy weapons are completely ineffective against them. We have suffered heavy losses and are no longer able to resist. We have already withdrawn from the storage area."
Motour blurted out everything in one breath.
There was silence on the other end of the communication line, followed by footsteps and hushed commands being handed over.
A moment later, another voice came on the channel.
"I am Leon."
Upon hearing this, Motour immediately straightened up.
"Commander Leon!"
Leon is the captain-in-chief authorized by the clan for this operation. He has already entered the high-level commander ranks of Elephant City and belongs to the three-star commander category.
"Report what you saw in detail."
"Yes!"
Motour then recounted everything that had just happened in the warehouse from beginning to end.
After listening, Leon fell into deep thought.
After a long pause, he asked again, "Are you sure it's the Seed of Ouroboros?"
This……
Motour hesitated again.
He wasn't sure.
He simply compared the descriptions of the Seed of Ouroboros with what he remembered from the past and found them to be very similar. Moreover, he had just faced a life-or-death crisis and was extremely nervous. Furthermore, the dark red monster was too fast for him to have time to observe the whole picture carefully.
“Sir, I cannot be 100% certain, but I can guarantee that the unknown creature I saw is extremely similar to the known description of the Licker, a creature of the Ouroboros species.”
"Understood. Stay put. I'll be there with men in ten minutes."
"Yes!"
……
The main road of the second ring road area.
Inside a black command vehicle.
Leon put down the communicator, his brow furrowed.
Seeds of Ouroboros!
The internal investigation files of the clan regarding the Black Mist Game do indeed mention that the Seed of Ouroboros is related to the Black Mist forces.
And then there's the Licker involved...
Leon couldn't help but recall an extremely dangerous name he had seen in the records.
Fang Heng!
If that really is a Licker...
It's highly likely that Fang Heng was there too!
"This is bad..."
Leon's face unconsciously turned slightly pale.
He had read the clan's secret documents and knew how terrifying Fang Heng was.
If the intruders were truly connected to Fang Heng, then countless of them would have been sent to their deaths in the past.
The original plan was to design a plan to cast bait and catch a wave of big fish.
Now look what's happened! The bait's been taken, but what we might have caught is a deep-sea monster...
Leon dared not be careless and immediately picked up another encrypted communicator.
"Bring me to the headquarters of the clan, Commander Richard."
A few seconds later, the communication was established.
"My lord, this is Leon. Storage point number eighteen has been attacked. Reports from the scene indicate that the attackers may have used the Seed of Ouroboros."
"Um...are you sure?"
“I haven’t arrived at the scene yet. Judging from the current situation, the enemy is extremely powerful, and there is a greater than 90% chance that they are related to Ouropolos. My lord, I need authorization to obtain higher-level support.”
"I understand, Leon. I hereby appoint you as the interim commander of the Star Alliance and temporarily promote you to the rank of Level 4 commander. You will be in charge of handling the crisis at Storage Point 18. Within your authority, you can mobilize all resources within the Star Alliance and your clans. This matter is of the highest priority. We must ensure the safety of the storage point at all costs!"
"Yes! Thank you for your trust, sir!"
……
at the same time.
A temporary outpost at an abandoned gold refinery.
Fana stared at the constantly refreshing internal Star Alliance messages on her computer terminal, her expression changing slightly, before turning the terminal screen towards Sharin.
"Lady Charlene, the Star Alliance has made a move."
The screen displays the latest mission release information from the Covenant's internal channel.
The mission objective is the 18th sealing point in the second ring area of Giant Elephant City. The mission requirements are to deal with the crisis of the spreading black mist and to fight enemies of unknown level. The reward offered by the mission is ridiculously high, almost five times that of missions of orange level or above.
Such generous rewards have attracted many people.
Within just five minutes of the mission appearing, it attracted more than twenty professional mercenary teams, who were now gathering and rushing to the mission location.
The powerful figures of various factions stationed in Giant Elephant City were also attracted by the rewards and accepted the missions to move towards the sealed-off point.
Individuals don't need to assemble like teams do, and they can move faster.
Many more people are still observing.
"It's caused such a big commotion..."
Fana bit her lip.
The entire power structure of Giant Elephant City has been alarmed.
Fang Heng is going to make an enemy of the entire Giant Elephant City...
Is everything really okay?
Charlene glanced at the screen, a hint of worry rising in her heart, but she didn't show any emotion on her face. She simply asked, "Fana, how much longer will it take for the transfer channel to be fully completed?"
“There are still three main channels being cleared, and the rest are ready.” Fana quickly switched screens. “We are just waiting for Mr. Fang Heng to deliver the supplies, and we will start the transfer as soon as possible.”
"Ah."
Charlene nodded gently.
"Get ready to provide backup. Right now, everyone's attention is drawn to Zone 18. I guess Fang Heng is about to make his move on the supplies that have been detained."
……
When Leon led his team to the outskirts of the No. 18 storage point, seven or eight mercenary teams had already gathered in the street ahead.
A dozen or so armored vehicles were parked haphazardly by the roadside. Mercenaries gathered in twos and threes behind the vehicles, smoking and chatting, pointing and gesturing towards the warehouse, looking like they were watching a show.
Compared to the Covenant regular army, mercenary teams are very lazy in their actions, highly independent, and difficult to command, but their individual strength far exceeds that of ordinary Covenant soldiers.
Several powerful figures from various factions who had arrived early gathered at the front.
Leon glanced at them and recognized two of them.
Elder Bato of the Crimson Serpent Clan is the long-time overlord of the underground fighting arena in Elephant City. He is rumored to have hunted down a near-god-level alien beast in the Star Alliance on his own, which has made him famous.
The other bald, short man was the Ironbone Clan's honorific, Gulakoto. This old man owned three martial arts schools in the Second Ring District, with thousands of disciples under his command.
They're all difficult people to get along with. (End of Chapter)
