"Tell everything that you managed to get about this seamount, the mission starts now". Captain Oga's face was finally serious since he arrived with his fleet as he asked demandingly.
"Yes, Captain!" Staff Sergeant Barnes did not dare to dally around.
Since Barnes arrived with his Crimson Fleet, the number one thing that they had been engaged in was scouting the layout of this seamount. Now, at this mont of truth, the benefits of this decision shone brightly.
Sergeant Raila reacted as soon as the Captain demanded it. She turned around and swiftly swam towards a location in the seamount where a huge machine that looked like an old telephone booth was erected.
When she swam there, Staff Sergeant Barnes and Captain Oga followed behind her. This machine was called the Statpadder, it's main use was to properly compile important data amidst a myriad of other uses.
After Sergeant Raila swam closer, her gloved hands glowed in bright yellow light as she placed it on the Statpadder before closing her eyes.
As soon as she closed her eyes, her perception changed. She was drawn into a blue world of data like a virtual world where the whites in the blue background were the nurous data that were stored in this Statpadder.
Having experienced this before, Sergeant Ralia was a veteran already. Without panicking, she willed as her yellow roaming virtual spirit started rapidly navigating through the myriad of data that were before her.
In just an instant, her virtual spirit narrowed on a piece of data that was shaped in the form of a white mountain. She moved her virtual spirit closer until it made contact with this data that was in the form of a white mountain.
The next mont, her virtual spirit jerked, then her perception returned to the real world. She didn't return alone, a large virtual projection returned with her, this was the data that was compiled and recorded inside the white mountain data.
On the large virtual projection, a map of this seamount was shone.
The map was on a black and white background. The part with white that dominated most of the map was the area that was already explored, and whose beast inhabitants were already annihilated.
In other words, this was now a safe region of this seamount.
The smaller black part of the map was still an explored region, but it was marked as the dangerous regions of this seamount.
This black part of the map, though was the smaller part was still big. At this mont, the Atlantian soldiers were in the middle of this black part, they were at the very heart of the dangerous regions of the seamount.
The map didn't just show a monotonous black color to describe danger, it also showed the reason why these regions were dangerous.
Captain Oga impatiently skipped to these parts of the map.
- Point A1: Mutated Giant Crab family with 8 orange tier predators.
- Point A2: Mutated Sea Lion family with 5 orange tier predators.
- Point A3: Draconic Lizard family with 1 purple tier predator and 16 orange tier predators.
- Point A4: Mutated Devouring Cobra family with 1 purple tier King Cobra as the leader and 7 orange tier predators.
On seeing the last point that was drawn on the map, Captain Oga frowned slightly. This was because a red dot was currently blinking at this point in the map, and this red dot indicated that the location of this predator family was here.
After the originally ruling Crocodile family was dethroned, as the Lizard Lord didn't claim this territory for himself, the remaining purple tier predator in the seamount saw it as no cri in claiming the territory for himself.
The Captain turned to face the Staff Sergeant. "Their lair is here?"
"Yes, Captain!"
Almost imdiately after Staff Sergeant Barnes answered, an extrely loud sound blast reverberated across the seamount.
This was a sound that could only have been caused by a powerful collision between 2 heavy objects, Captain Oga turned his head imdiately as his sharp eyes and bald head shone brightly.
After taking care of the mutated beasts that were attacking them in their panic, the warships of the Black Mamba Division Fleet followed their routine and hibernated their warships in strategic locations to form a large defense periter.
The hibernation setting of the warships ant that their energy levels were at the lowest, not switched off entirely, and the warship's lightning-fast reaction to danger was still very much effective.
At this mont, an enormous King Cobra that looked like a mountain tried to sneak through the warships and deliver a terrible sneak attack but it was discovered and was blocked by one of the warship's shield generators.
At this mont, the shadow domain King Cobra was already revealed.
Feeling the gaze of the terrifying Atlantians on it, this enormous King Cobra shrank the next mont to a more acceptable size which revealed that its previous mountain size was due to activating a skill.
After shrinking its size, it did not wait for the humans before it started a mad swim far away as it swam for its life.
Seeing this, Lieutenant Zorror transmitted into the comm. "What are your orders, Captain?"
Captain Oga took a deep breath of crazy excitent as he could not help but rub his smooth bald head, then he intoned in a deep voice.
"Kill them all!"
"Scour the 4 danger points, uproot and kill them all!"
"Yes Sir!"
A wide-scale hunt by the Atlantian soldiers began the next mont.
Boom! Boom!
…
The powerful shadow domain King Cobra tried its best and gave the Atlantians a lot of trouble during the pursuit. Despite this, it was overwheld, suffering the fate of dying on just the first day.
After Captain Oga gave the order for the total annihilation of the beasts, pushed by the excitent of battle, he also joined the brawl which destroyed any tiny hopes that the beasts had before.
The 4 points that were indicated after the Crimson Fleet's ticulous scouting was also scoured completely by the ravenous Atlantian soldiers.
On getting to the first 2 points that were indicated, the beasts were only able to put up a little struggle against the overwhelming might that they ca with.
Despite the beasts' struggle, it was all proven futile as they wreaked havoc through the beasts, annihilating them and suffering no casualties in the process.
It was when it ca to the last 2 points on the map that they encountered problems. Concerning the Draconic Lizard family, on getting there, they discovered that their lair was actually covered by a poisonous mbrane.
Of course, they tried to clear the mbrane away but it was not that easy.
Left with no choice, they could only barge in forcefully. After suffering 9 casualties to the poison, with countless others weak from the poison's effects, the Atlantians were stunned to discover that no beasts were in the region.
This was when they discovered that the Draconic Lizards already escaped this region more than 2 days ago, having sensed the threat to their existence.
They were furious but there was only little that they could do.
For the mutated Devouring Cobras, the beasts put up so comndable strength and effort in resisting but in the end, it was all worth little.
The Atlantian army still steamrolled through them.
With this, the army finally secured the seamount for real, holding it with an iron grip. They didn't rest though, they quickly started forming a defense periter to defend against the enemies that were bound to co in the next few days.
For the 5 days after that, attracted by their 6th sense, powerful predators and groups of predators kept on being attracted to this area which led to terrible battles in which both sides lost.
The intensity and frequency of battles kept on increasing by the day, which placed more and more of the Atlantians into strain.
Because of this, they suffered more casualties each battle than was after the next. Now, after persevering through the stormy period of these 5 days, the remaining 2 days before the appearance of the inheritance was here.
Just one night more and the one week would be complete.
Today, the Atlantians felt tense and alard, the 9th hour of this defense battle was here and stunning changes always accompanied it.
They watched their surroundings with bated breaths, waiting for it.
