Chapter 1609: A Trap
Chapter 1609: A Trap
"How is the situation over there?" Nathan asked. He was already standing in front of their next destination, the outpost. The outpost looked like a normal fortress from the outside, but there were a couple of towers on the inside.
It looked like the aliens hadn’t destroyed those towers yet. These towers must be the ones used to let the birds perch.
Nathan examined the fortress wall and showed no sign of danger.
Noelle was standing next to her, while Selena and Iris waited further away.
Due to the expected dangers, they needed to create a few layers of protection. And this time, Nathan had even made a few teleportation circles on their way here.
...
In another place, Evelyn looked at the massive city. There were no walls separating the city. Considering the depth of this city in the Asura Palace’s territory, it was normal not to need any walls. No one from the coalition would be able to reach this place, and they didn’t expect the aliens either.
But due to the lack of walls, this city ended up being known for its tragedy. Evelyn could see many ruined buildings with blood smeared on their walls.
"We are ready." Evelyn glanced to the side. "Alavenya. You will go with me. Bella, Vivian, you two are to stand a bit further. In case something goes wrong, you need to be ready to secure our escape route."
"Understood." Vivian and Bella immediately walked away, while Alavenya took a deep breath.
"Relax. You have grown stronger. I can guarantee that. However, this time, we will be fighting a being that is beyond our understanding. Just keep that in mind and proceed with caution."
"Yes." Alavenya nodded with a serious expression.
"We are ready to move in at any time." Evelyn repeated to the communication ring.
...
The same thing was happening on Luna’s side as well.
Her target was the commercial hub. As the name implied, there were many big buildings in this city. They showed the glamor that this city once had.
Luna looked at Flora and Sera. Unlike the other two groups, she was the only one going together.
"We will be the first line. In case something goes wrong, we will retreat to the first rendezvous point. Maintain a clear vision all the time. I will be the vanguard, you two will be supporting me from behind.
"If we encounter any danger, I will move in with my golems first. Is that clear?"
"Yes." Both of them nodded. Although Luna was quite scary during the training, they could see Luna’s experience and concern for the group. It wasn’t like she had done something unnecessary or foolish all this time, so they could trust Luna’s decision and strength.
"My team is also ready," Luna reported.
...
Nathan exchanged nods with Noelle. "In that case, let’s proceed according to the original plan."
All of them summoned their familiars first. Those who could fuse with their familiars immediately did so.
As usual, Nathan fused with Fenrir.
"Nidhogg, Jinwu, Peng, Mae, Orochi, Xolotl, and Garuda will focus on the wall and try to wreak havoc from there. Qilin, Mae, Anubis, I want the three of you to support us in any way you can. However, focus on securing the escape route.
"If something happens, I will summon Tiamat immediately. Fenrir, keep your senses as sharp as possible. Don’t miss a single thing."
All divine beasts nodded their heads.
Then, under Nathan’s leadership, they entered the fortress.
Nathan immediately looked around and started forming his Void Bullets. "The information is secondary. Just destroy everything as long as it increases our chance of surviving."
Peng and Garuda immediately formed a big tornado each.
Then, Jinwu and Nidhogg spat their fire, turning the two tornadoes into fire tornadoes.
Nidhogg roared and Kun let out a cry as if announcing their arrival.
"I can’t see anything yet." Jinwu scanned the entire area.
"All right. Keep going!"
...
Just like Nathan, Evelyn and Luna had entered their respective destinations.
Evelyn and Alavenya ran at a fast pace. "Our goal is the biggest building. Don’t forget to sense your surroundings. There should be plenty of strong aliens here."
"Got it!" Alavenya nodded with a serious expression.
Meanwhile, Luna summoned a hundred golems using clay and spread them all over the cities. Flora set up a few traps first, while Sera boosted them from the wall.
However, things started to turn bad the moment the golems spread.
Suddenly, multiple rumbling sounds echoed across the city.
"Hmm?" Luna raised her head. "Something doesn’t look right. I’m losing many golems so quickly."
"What is going on?" Flora asked.
Luna closed her eyes to share her senses with the golems. She then saw multiple strong aliens.
"Seven elite class aliens confirmed!" Luna warned them aloud.
"!!!" Flora and Sera widened their eyes. They checked their surroundings one more time.
"Not good!" Luna shouted as the ground suddenly burst from the inside.
Luna managed to jump at the last moment, but she saw a humanoid alien right before her eyes.
Her instinct was practically telling her that this alien was dangerous.
The alien kicked Luna, but the latter managed to raise both arms first and strengthened her defense with a magic circle.
Surprisingly, the magic circle disappeared at the last moment, causing her to take the hit directly.
"Kh..." Luna gritted her teeth, feeling her bone had just cracked from a single attack.
Bam!
The kick blasted her to the ground two hundred meters away.
"Luna!" Flora and Sera panicked.
"Hurry up and regroup!" Luna ordered through the communication ring.
Suddenly, more and more aliens emerged from the buildings or the ground as if they had been waiting for this ambush.
In addition, they could hear cries echoing from all directions.
"!!!" Sera looked around and gasped. "We have been surrounded. Dozens of aliens are inside the city. They seem to be the strongest aliens around. Meanwhile, thousands of aliens are encircling us. This is a trap."
"I repeat, this is a trap!"
The messages had been passed to the other two groups as well.
"!!!" Evelyn and Nathan turned grim as they scanned the entire area. "Assess the number and the danger right now. There is no telling if we manage to split the danger into three or not!"
