"Hey! We've never fought at this altitude before!" Even the hot-tempered John felt weak after hearing Thomas' instruction.No one had the luxury of mind to worry about his mental state. The first to react was the four common soldiers that were on the same journey.They loaded their Kalin machine guns and stood at both sides of the cabin door in alert, holding up their guns.Thomas exercised his mechanical arm unhappily. "Too bad we're not on a weapon cargo plane and aren't properly armed for this. Both Clark and I can't use our War Spirit powers properly on a plane!"Carl turned around to look at the others, thinking the same. Clark's power was to transform into a fearsome tiger while Thomas's power was using a massive war hammer. It was indeed inconvenient for them to use their powers while in a military plane.Suddenly, Clark grabbed two Kalin machine guns and handed one to Thomas. "Save the nonsense," he said coldly

In contrast to John's oblivious awe, Clark was looking a lot grimmer. He didn't look at all happy despite getting rid of the flock of venomous wyverns.Feeling the faint murderous aura coming from the man beside him, Carl turned his head in surprise. However, Clark and Thomas ignored him, unwilling to explain the whole story.Link called off his Gravity Zone and sat down on the floor weakly. He gasped for breath for a moment before patting the cabin door and shouting."Jay, how long more before we get to Punk Fortress? If another flock of venomous wyverns shows up again, we'll all die here today!""Relax! I don't see any unidentified flying objects on the radar! And we'll reach Punk Fortress in ten minutes!"Jay's words made Link let out a sigh of relief. He looked as if a burden had been removed from his shoulders."Sigh. I'll be straight. I thought I'm just here to pick you guys up! Never thought I'd be

Thomas left with a smile after entrusting Carl, John, and Rio to Iger, leaving the three of them looking at each other in the small room.It took a while before Iger rubbed his head and said, "Ah! How did I forget about that? Give me a minute!"He then ran toward a pile of junks inside the room and began searching all around. Some time passed before he came out with three military uniforms and handed them to Carl and the others."Here. These are your military uniforms. Remember this: once you put on your uniform, you're an official member of the Empire-sword Army!"Carl and the others took their military uniforms with a frown. They could see that the uniforms were filthy, with obvious stains and an alcohol stench. It was apparent that these uniforms had been sitting in this room for a long time.Noticing their expressions, Iger laughed in embarrassment and explained, "Blame it on the lack of recruits in the Empire-swor

"All right. Are you guys fine? If you are, then come up with me. We agreed that you'd experience thirty minutes of hell! We can't just let time pass!"Iger showed them a strange smile and said, "Or do you feel like taking a rest today? If you don't want to join the battle this time, I don't mind letting you do so."Carl and the others looked tense after hearing his words. They shook their heads and replied, "It's all right. We're okay with joining the battle this time."Iger gave them a meaningful look before grinning again. He said nothing more and hooked a finger at them, leading them up the wall."Hurry up! Hurry up! War doesn't wait for anyone! Don't dilly dally there and block people's way!"Carl and the others immediately followed him in a rush. Sure enough, they saw a lot of soldiers transporting copious bodies and injured comrades down on their way up the wall.The higher they climbed, the more int

"Wow! This is so cool! You even have flamethrowers!" John was so enthralled by the dazzling sea of fire that he ignored the scorched smell of the burnt bugs below."Good thing these were just a bunch of six-legged bugs. It looks like the flamethrowers could stop their advance very well." Rio was beginning to relax. There was even a hint of a smile on his face.Carl had better eyesight than them. When he realized that the attack of the six-legged bugs had been quelled, he turned his attention to the rear of the swarm. What he saw shocked him so much that he nearly dropped his Kalin machine gun.Rio was standing close enough that he noticed Carl's expression immediately. His face turned stiff and he asked worriedly, "What's wrong, Carl? Did you see something?"Carl nodded. John turned his head to look at him curiously as well. "What's wrong? What happened?""There's a ton of venomous barbed serpents behind those six-legg
