About a dozen armoured trucks built with dungeon metals and powered by dungeon cores to enhance their durability through mana drove out of a large, swirling red gate into a tall grass plain, heading for a forest.
The trees of this forest were over fifty feet tall and the first wave created a vast wall of trees. When the trucks got close, a command was given and they all stopped.
There was a truck ahead of all of them. Arden stood on it with a few members of her team, patiently waiting for the main group.
Amongst them was Lucy, who was caressing her crab when the main group came through the gate.
She saw Captain Saul descend with his second in command, Arnold. As they came from the first vehicle, Ronald emerged from the fourth.
"I heard it’s the captain’s first summon that has the ability to open gates to other worlds. I think he might have retrieved that summon." Lucy heard one of her teammates whisper to another.
They weren’t far from her. One had a Snow direwolf and the other had a female kobold shield bearer. Both Summoners were females that specialized in the combat department unlike her.
"I keep hearing his first summon is his strongest but no one has ever seen it fight. All I’ve seen..." the woman’s breath hitched when Abaddon and Apollyon descended.
The moment both towering knights graced the field, everyone looked at them. Everything about these knights demanded respect.
They felt like commoners looking at true nobility.
Lucy’s eyes narrowed when Saul walked past her but when Ronald came along, he smiled, patted her shoulder and continued.
A soft smile appeared on Lucy’s face as she watched them approach the forest.
About two hundred feet away from the forest, both men stood, standing side by side. "What do you think?" Saul, who donned an Echo of Abaddon’s armour, tilted his head toward Ronald.
"I’ve passed through this forest once. It has wild beasts but no orc settlement. But that was a long time ago, orcs tend to move. It won’t be a surprise if a settlement is within this forest." Ronald replied.
"Very well, then. We’ll proceed." Saul replied.
Ronald squinted, trying to force down this question but decided to ask anyway. "Your plan? You’re looking for a relic, I understand, but where exactly is this relic?"
"Leave that to me, Mr. Hero. I won’t lead the cohort to death."
Ronald’s eyes narrowed, then he turned, about to head back to his truck when Saul spoke.
"Your son... he has potential but might be a problem in the future if he continues this path. You should try speaking to him. Fugitives like us should stand together."
"He’s a grown man." Ronald replied.
"There’s no doubt he’s powerful but he can’t be considered a grown man. With that kind of power, he needs a mentor, a responsibility and paradise is that responsibility. We are all meant to stand together." Saul replied, turning his back on the forest to face Ronald.
