In order to defend against this group's attack, Hamed summoned his adjutant immediately and asked, "How many drones do we still have at our base?"
The adjutant hurriedly said, "We still have more than twenty drones that we bought from Oskia. We bought a few more at that time because of the cheap price."
Hamed asked, "What is the drone’s approximate battery life?"
The adjutant thought about it for a moment and replied, "it should be around twenty-five minutes and no more than half an hour at most."
Hamed nodded and said faintly, "Although the time is a little short, it should be more than enough. You should immediately give the order that the drones should be in a state of readiness. I request to ensure that at least five drones are up in the air around our base at all times to observe and keep an eye on our surroundings. We have to be alert to the enemy's small groups of troops trying to infiltrate our fortifications. If there are any such signs, you have to report it to me immediately!"
"Yes, Commander!"
Hamed then said, "By the way, the drone pilots will
have to make sure that they raise the altitude of their drones and try not to be spotted by the enemy!"
The adjutant immediately received the order and turned around to arrange for the execution of Hamed's order.
Very soon, five foldable drones had already flown out o f the hole from the tunnel in the reverse slope fortification.
The size of these drones was very small, and the fuselage was only as big as the size of a palm. As soon as the drones flew out of the hole, they began climbing upward immediately. The drones could no longer be seen by the naked eye before they had even flown to the height of a couple of hundred meters.
So, Zephan did not dare to report the outcome of this war to the War King, Zayne, immediately. He could only think of how he should hurry up and take Hamed down so that he could avenge his past insult.
After all, the level of weapons and equipment, as well a s the overall level of training that a hillbilly like Hamed had, could not even be compared to that of an ordinary militia.
Zephan had so many elite troops with him, but several hundreds of his men had been killed by the other party with just one wave. This was an absolutely unacceptable huge humiliation.
Therefore, Zephan was only thinking of how he could take Hamed and his base down as soon as possible. After that, he would be able to report the casualties to Zayne along with his military exploits in order to save himself from even more embarrassment and shame. 2
This was the reason why Zephan attached great importance to their upcoming side roundabout and outflank tactic. Moreover, he even decided to personally lead the attack so that he would be able to catch Hamed off guard so that Hamed would be left with no way to defend himself at all! 10
