476 Taking the fight to the beasts.

The attack of the beasts had come to an end all around the city, and the humans had counted their loss and were treating their injuries.

Now that everything had been taken care of, it was time for the special ops captains to report the situation to the majors.

The 49 captains stood in front of major Reeves, and without a doubt, he noticed the absence of Blake.

‘I would have continued with the meeting and punish him later, but from what I know he isn’t foolish. So we will wait.’ Major Reeves thought.

Major Reeves as well as the 49 captains stood in the same position for the next 25 minutes before Blake finally arrived and took his position.

Without asking any questions or uttering a word, major Reeves gestured and the special ops captains began reporting the outcome of the event that just took place.

Just like last time, they were attacked by the 25 king rank beasts. Some units just like that of Blake were unfortunate to be chosen by the king rank beasts, while the others only had to deal with elite and king rank beasts.

This was why captain Evans was always able to arrive at Blake’s area just when the battle with the king rank beasts was over.

The casualties recorded were only 5 out of all 50 units, and this was only thanks to the addition of the normal ash corps.

…..

When it got to Evans’s turn to report, he first started with the report on his unit before continuing with when he entered Blake’s region.

“By the time I and my team came to support captain Blake’s unit, the 3 king rank beasts had been dealt with, but quite a lot of beasts were still present.”

“That was when I noticed their captain wasn’t present. So after making inquiries, I found out that he had given chase to the fleeing beasts.” Captain Evans was so merciless, that he mentioned that this wasn’t the first time that Blake had left his team.

“Captain Blake, what do you have to say about these allegations?” Major Reeves asked without a change in expression.

“I don’t deny leaving my unit to fend for themselves, but that was because on the first occasion they were in no danger and I was on standby just in case things went wrong. It was a way for them to safely gain experience since my unit is relatively new.”

“As for that of today, my team was the only one that had been attacked by 3 king rank beasts. This got me thinking that the beasts were too organized, and there was also a chance that they would only increase.

“So I informed captain Camilla before following some of the fleeing beasts.” Blake said finally causing major Reeves to react for the first time throughout the meeting.

“Did you discover anything?” The major general asked.

“Yes.” Blake answered before continuing. “It turns out that there is a gathering of beasts Southeast of the city. At the top are low-ranking beasts, while underground was filled with knight rank, king rank and possibly an emperor rank beast.” Blake said causing everyone to furrow their brows.

“How sure are you that an emperor rank beast is present, did you see one?” Major Reeves asked without a noticeable change in composure.

“If I did, I surely wouldn’t be standing here, but there are 2 reasons I think so. The first was the mana density, it was so high that injured beasts above ground were healing at a rate visible to the eye let alone those underground.”

“The second reason is because of how organized they are. Their attacks are not random, and they are employing large-scale hit-and-run tactics which can only be orchestrated by an emperor rank beast or at best a king rank close to evolving.” Blake explained.

From Blake’s explanation, it was clear that the beasts were camping at a crystal mine, which explained how the same injured king rank beasts were completely healed and able to attack them on such short notice.

With the presence of the mine confirmed, it meant that the issue was a serious one. The king rank beasts would keep healing and coming back to wreak havoc if they are not killed.

To make matters worse, each time they attack the humans, the more prepared they would be and the harder it would get to kill them, thus the more damage would be done.

All the captains couldn’t help but start thinking of how they would deal with the problem. Not everyone was Blake who could summon 2 powerful king rank beasts.

Also, from how they did so well against this wave of beasts. They were more than sure that the number of king rank beasts and the army would only increase, if not triple.

As for major Reeves, his main focus was on the possibility of an emperor rank beast being present in the mine. If it decided to attack any of the walls, then there was no doubt that everyone there would be wiped out.

‘We would most likely have to attack the mine, but first I have to report this to general Darius.’ Major Reeves thought before turning to Blake.

“Your quick thinking has indirectly saved a lot of lives and resources.” Major Reeves said to Blake.

“As for you captain Evans, it seems you have a lot to learn from captain Blake and also an apology to render.” Major Reeves said.

…

After the meeting was over, major Reeves wasted no time forwarding the message to Darius who in turn forwarded it to prince Bryon.

A meeting among the higher-ups was called, and after half an hour of planning, they came to a conclusion to take the fight to the beasts rather than sitting around and waiting.
