Chapter 141 - one four one

With infiltration units paving the path along with the guidance of Xeander everything went on much smoothly.

The Maveth extraction factory itself was not big considering the entire area that it occupied inside the four walls. There were certain research facilities and other related facilities inside the compound but most of these facilities along with the factory were cl.u.s.tered to the center.

While the outer area were mainly military related buildings, such as the smaller building which the patrolling soldiers used and the main surveillance building which Xeander had infiltrated, The surveillance building had high security of around 30 guards outside and 10 guards inside in different locations along with the four guards that were guarding the main surveillance room, Of course Xeander has not engaged with any other soldiers other than the ones right outside the room and a random guard who urgently wanted to take a piss.

There was a military camp to the south where the soldiers who were not on duty rested and around 70 soldiers were resting inside the camp.

Xeander along with his men had already taken care of around 60 men by now including some patrol units.

The strategy that Xeander came up with was simple: the attack will start from the east side in a circular manner  ending on the south side army camp and then they will land lightning fast raids on the camp without giving a chance to them.

Once the outer perimeter is dealt with, the company will surround and attack the rest of the soldiers that are in the inner perimeter with full force.

After taking out the east side, the infiltration unit attacked the surveillance building, everything went swiftly with Xeander attacking from the inside and the rest of the infiltration unit sneak attacking from outside, now with the surveillance building under their complete control, everything was much smoother.

They knew exactly where the enemy soldiers were and how many in numbers.

After taking down different patrol units a large number of them have also changed to the enemy's uniform which helped them to sneak in with much ease.

Even with every consideration there were still smaller commotion, but it didn't attract much attention or only attracted other soldiers who were close by, who were also further dealt with by the infiltration unit assassins and by now Old Zhao and Dror was also working along with the infiltration unit making everything much smoother.

By the time they reached the south side the warriors of infiltration units were almost out of energy and many injured, but their confidence was bolstered with the success of the operation so far and the attack on the camp was one of the most important parts of the mission.

If the infiltration unit can deal a huge amount of damage early on then it would be an immense help for the heavy infantry to round up things.

So without hesitation they sneaked into the sleeping chambers and slaughtered most of the sleeping enemy soldiers but this time even the smaller commotion had a bigger effect as the number of enemy soldiers in the whole building was much bigger than what they could deal with in a single sweep.

But this was acceptable as the heavy infantry also charged in, Even though they were called heavy infantry their speed was nothing to scoff off, of course they were slower than the infiltration unit but the heavy infantry unit practiced techniques that strengthened them and their agility also improved with their strength.

Battle caught the attention of the rest of the people inside the factory compound.

Inside a grand office attached to the main extraction facility, A middle aged man in military uniform of the alliance  army was entertaining a young a.d.u.l.t in black suit along with black tie.

They were having a casual discussion along with drinks when the sound of fighting in the distance caught their attention.

The middle aged man had a frown on his face, when one of his subordinate  entered the room in haste with worried expression.

" Major, we are under attack .."

the major's frown deepened at the worried expression of his subordinate.

" What are you panicking about, a small group of  rebels want to create problems for me. I will eradicate them completely to let the whole rebels know that Alliance army is not to be messed with.

Has our men organized and put on the defense in the outer perimeter, send them the message that I will be personally there in a moment and not to be afraid and defend their posts…"

The subordinate spoke in timid manner

" Sir the outer perimeter is almost completely taken out, according to the message sent from the front line, even the camp will be destroyed in no time if we don't send reinforcement.."

"How can that be, how many enemies are there and what is their strength.."

The Major was infuriated now, More than 170 soldiers were located in the outer perimeter if the outer perimeter was defeated then it meant that more than half of his whole force is no more.

"Sir the enemy numbers around 150, with many mid level and high level warriors among them, the person leading them is someone in the True realm.."

the subordinate replied.

The major had reigned in his anger by now and spoke in a much calmer manner.

" send a request for reinforcement from the city enforcers and ask every soldier in the inner perimeter to gather at the front gate at once ..."

the subordinate bowed and left immediately to comply with the order.

"Do you need a hand Major Ryker.."

The young man spoke in a calm manner.

The Major pondered and replied

" I will be very thankful if Mr. 18 could help me pin down these rebels until the enforcers arrive.."

After nodding at each other the Major stormed out of the building, while Mr. 18 was much calmer as he stood up only after completing his drink. 

The soldiers of the inner perimeter were almost gathered, The Major didn't wait to check upon them he was using an air element based technique air walk to reach the camp as soon as possible.

The Major moved like a ghost walking on the air, of course he couldn't fly but hover a little above the ground and he was very fast.

The gathered soldier only heard his command in their mind.

" Follow me, make sure to hold them back, I don't want even one of them to escape before the enforcers arrive…"

The Major's face started contorting when he arrived at the camp, much of the building was under ruin and burning. He could clearly see that almost all of his men were dealt with and the enemy army was organizing again to launch an attack.

The Major pushed both his hands to the ground as if pushing the warrior essence in his body into the ground and spoke.

"Spike rampage.."

Big Earthen spikes started poking out of the ground like a jungle of spikes and started extending towards the rebel army.

It was clear that if the move was not stopped the number of rebel soldiers injured and dead would be high.

Dror who had already noticed the other true warrior appeared before his army and yelled, while sending out his warrior essence.

" Earth Rampart.."

A defensive wall grew out of the earth completely blocking the spike rampage technique.

Dror send a spiritual message to Xeander " I will hold this guy, you lead the men  and complete the mission.."

Xeaander has also noticed the appearance of the enemy True warrior,  but he didn't want to expose himself so he didn't make a move.

The warrior essence of someone in the true warrior realm was much thicker and purer , even if a warrior didn't notice it, it was very easy for another True warrior to notice it.

Only Dror, Old Zhao, Mark and Chaow was aware of the recovery of Xeander and they wished to keep it a secret as a secret weapon.

The main mission was to destroy the factory and the precious equipment's inside it, it didn't matter whether they killed the soldiers or not.

In fact all the attacks they have launched up till now has been to pull all the warriors and the true warriors out of the main factory and its surrounding, so that Xeander along with his 20 infiltration unit men would  sneak into the factory, knock out any worker left inside and send them out while planting explosive and tweaking the entire machinery.

The Maveth flower was considered a treasure but it grew in a very poisonous and dangerous area and it had the inherent property to absorb life force.

This poisonous and life force absorbing properties were highly concentrated in the seeds that were inside the flower.

These seeds were too poisonous and evil in nature that no one could use it other than some evil cultivators to make poisons or some other evil weapons.

At the same time the petals of the flower contain the highest amount of vitality and life force which can be used to create miraculous medicines and pills.

But  after being affected by the poisonous and evil nature the petals itself was also not pure and was stranded with poisonous properties and to extract only the harmless and precious part of the petals, it required very precise and high end technology or a high level alchemist.

But who knows from where the Alliance government got its hands on these kinds of machinery.
