Chapter 207: Dig

"Commander," Hugh shouted our. He did not want to be the one who had been the ones who did not do anything as the commander was in deep thought.

Hugh realized that the only way to get the commander's thoughts was to f something that the others would not do. So Hugh decided to speak up right in the middle of the fight.

Apart is the commander and everybody else in the army towards you and waited for his words. The rest of the Opera ranks found at the moment that they saw Hugh.

It looks like they were being beaten again by Hugh. And I will stay chains but you beat them to it and now you have the attention of the commander.

" Commander, let me beat them," Hugh said with his eyes burning a fire.

Everyone immediately dismissed Hugh. If the others could not do anything, then what good with Hugh do? He was not anything special, so he would die the instant he went outside.

"Commander, I think I am better suited to do it,"

"Commander, pick me!"

"He's not the guy capable to do it, commander!"

The upper ranks decided to rally against Hugh and give another one of them a chance. They all squeezed themselves in front of the commandeer's face.

"Platoon leader. You go with some of your soldiers," the commander said while looking directly at Hugh.

The upper ranks and the soldiers all looked on in horror as Hugh saluted away from the commander. In the end, the commander chose the worst kind of guy to do the job.

There's no way that someone like the platoon leader could do a thing like this. This was a job for real man and he was not it.

You ignored all looks he received as he walked back towards his platoon. Everyone inside the button all perfect a heads up as they saw you coming towards them.

"Platoon leader," they all shouted.

Everyone has just arrived at the main army very recently. Behind them was a shipment of supplies and reinforcement they just rescued.

Hugh searched around the platoon soldiers for one specific person. This person was thin and small like a little puppy but you recognized her within a second.

Serena walked up to Hugh, and they saluted to each other. The other soldiers from the other divisions were looking towards them so Hugh could not act normal.

Then Hugh lean in to Serena and whispered something in her ears.

"We have something to do," Hugh whispered.

Serena the nearest pond but only nodded her head in agreement. She did not want to be speaking too much in these parts of the army since other could hear her real voice.

If the others were to hear her voice, then she would be found out as an infiltrator. If the others were to see her long blonde hair, they would know that she was not a normal soldier.

Hugh picked out some of the soldiers from the platoon and headed out towards the edge. Hugh and Serena hung back as they both whispered at each other.

"What are we going to do?" Serena whispered as she looked around and realized that they were already far enough away from the other soldiers.

"We are going to dig," Hugh replied. He looked towards the barrier and realized that they could go towards the other side if they went underneath it.

Serena looked at Hugh if her was serious, and judging from the serous look on his face, it was true. She was going to get down and dirty with mud for her to be Abel to do that.

"Do I have to do that?" Serena asked.

There was going to be a lot of complications if she got dirty right now. If she were to return, she would be forced to clean herself.

Then, she would be forced to fo in a small tent and clean herself along with the others soldiers. If she cannot be alone, other would see her real face and her real hair.

Also, if going to the shower required identification from a soldier, she was also screwed. She did not have any real identification on her.

If she were to give a false identification, she would be forced the checker to look at her real face.

"Yeah. You're the strongest person I know next to me. We need an exit strategy if things go wrong," Hugh said.

If Hugh was not able to negotiate with the other party, then strength would be needed. Against a small army, Hugh would not be able to ship them into shape.

However, if Serena was with her, then she would be able to help Hugh fight against a small army. Not to mention she also had a magical perfume made others obey her wishes.

Once they reached the end of the barrier, Hugh touched it. He felt an immediate reaction from the barrier as it forced him out.

The other soldiers also could hold their curiosity still as they touched it and was all bounced back. After all their curiosities were satisfied, Hugh looked back.

He saw numerous soldiers—mostly upper ranks, looking towards him with hostile shape glares. They were curious to see what Hugh would do in this situation.

In their mind, Hugh would not be able to do anything. They all had tried they hardest to get out of the barrier, to no avail.

They were all just waiting for Hugh to be humiliated after he comes back in the army with his tail behind his back. However, they saw the soldiers in Hugh's commander move and dig on the ground.

The soldiers and upper ranks all looked at Hugh's small group and realized that there might be a chance that he was correct.

In their panic and overthinking, the upper ranks did not care to see if the barrier was also continued to the ground. It was such a simple thing, but everyone seemed to miss it, except for Hugh.

Everyone looked on in envy as Hugh's soldiers started to dig underground. Then, it was revealed that there was no barrier underneath the ground.

This was a huge revelation. Everyone now knew how to get out of the barrier with the help of Hugh. Once again, the platoon leader's actions spread throughout the army.

"Soldiers," the commander shouted. "Go and dig a tunnel."

Every single one of the soldiers all looked towards the commander and saluted. They had almost a large amount of soldiers in the previous attacks, but now, they had a chance to fight back.

If they were able to dig a large enough tunnel to the outside, then they could get out and confront the invisible enemies that had killed off thousands of soldiers.

Hugh hurried the soldiers to work faster. He did not want to be overtaken by the thousands of soldiers working for the commander.

He wanted to be the very first person to look at the outside. He wanted to be the first person to see the enemy and live.

He wanted to know if he could use the commander's enemy for his own benefit. More than likely, the enemy was form the Shark Loan company.

If this was a premeditated attack, then they must have a good reason as to attack the army. They had already killed off thousands of soldiers, and many more were dying every seconds

"We're done, Hugh," Serena said as she pointed over towards the tunnel to the outside.

Hugh gulped ass he looked at Serena. She nodded her head and gave him a pat the back. "I'll follow you from behind," Serena said.

Hugh bent down and crawled in the makeshift small tunnel that was only big enough for Hugh to crawl. If it were any smaller, he would not be able to fit.

Hugh was thankful that he was in the platoon leader's skin. If he was in his own skin, which was very obese and fat, he would not be able to get though.

Hugh finally reached the end of the tunnel where he only had to dig through a very shallow wall. He started to claw his way out until he saw light blinding him.

When he snuck out, he immediately saw that he was hidden next to a small bush. After looking around, he realized that there was not anyone around him.

With his stealth working, Hugh peeked his head out. Then he looked around. He immediately saw soldiers with a hoodie over their heads.

They were all working hard and concentrating over a piece of stone that was connected to the barrier. Hugh guessed that these people were the ones who were keeping the barrier open and able.

From the looks of it, the hooded men were fueling the barrier and kept it running. If Hugh were to kill them off right now, they would lose a lot of supply.

Hugh thought it over, and realized that it was not worth it: it would be better to look around first and assess the whole situation.
