Chapter 77: the news that rocked the whole continent

Clark woke up in the night that day, feeling weird. His nice dream elevated his mood significantly, as he went out of the hall to see the night sky. The shining stars just beautified the sky even more in a unique way.

He finally started noticing the changes in his body, as he got himself soaked in the fresh night air. “My physique improved,” he gasped in surprise.

He could now notice some details, that he couldn’t notice at first. He had another breakthrough, he swiftly realized with surprise. It felt like he was living in a black and white world previously, but now he transited into a hd quality world.

He could feel the increase in his raw strength, “man this is simply out of this world,” he thought in excitement. He became a 2nd rank high-grade soldier in just between a year, after having his first breakthrough.

“I guess the stress and trauma from the recent battles helped me break through my limits,” he muttered in a complicated tone.

He rejoiced alone on his breakthrough, while admiring the stars. “I guess the dream I had was a blessing to my life Afterall,” he thought in joy. After a lot of silent mind partying, he finally returned to spend the night with joy in his heart. He slightly anticipated another dream that night, but he was disappointed as he slept peacefully the whole time.

The next day, the 2nd Captain of this ship called all the soldiers for a military gathering. That morning, he finally learnt of the country behind this fleet, it was Camelot. Camelot was a country whose culture was just like the Camelot of old from the old movie “Merlin”. The hierarchy in the country, or better still kingdom was very strict and controversial, but they already proved their military strength during the great battle of supremacy.

Camelot was one of the few countries with high-grade military strength, only below the big 5 and some other exceptions in strength.

He didn’t dare delay, as he quickly arrived in the strategy hall with the other soldiers. He finally saw the other high-grade soldiers of the fleet, including the 2nd Captain. The ship had five 1st rank high grade soldiers, two 2nd rank high-grade soldiers and three 3rd rank high-grade soldiers. The strategy hall was as its name implied, it was where military strategies for battle are planned and decided on.

He didn’t speak throughout the gathering, only listening as he was just an insignificant outsider to them. The gathering was basically useless, as they couldn’t decide on a specific strategy, they just decided to face any threat that comes according to the situation. The only advice the Captain finally gave, was that they should fight defensively during every battle from now on.

For the whole day, he didn’t have to do anything as the technical teams were having repairs on the ships. His stay in the ship gradually extended for over a whole week, without any movement or activity, they only suffered an attack once from a fleet that encountered them. The fight was not too fierce, as the opposing fleet’s military strength was on par with theirs, so they tacitly retreated after, as they were not keen on losing their soldiers in a brainless battle.

After a week of training, he became completely familiar with his new found strength. Nobody noticed him, as all his trainings were done virtually through his implant. The fleet finally decided to move forward, after the week-long repairs.

He also already adapted to the change of environment, from staying from land to sea. The fleet organized training sessions for those who were not familiar with the sea, to learn how to fight in the sea. So, he was not completely idle.

…

Somewhere else in the Spartan republic, the warship G-14 successfully escaped from the Mocan republic after a week of being on the run. The news completely rocked the whole continent, as it was an unexpected aggression by the Sparta republic. The Mocan republic clearly didn’t see this coming, as the strike force succeeded in assassinating 5 Governors of the Moca republic.

The country was destabilized further, as despite the President not dying, he was now in a coma, 4 of its ministers also died from the assault. The attack shocked the whole continent, impacting the Moca republic the most, this was a huge blow to their arrogant ego.

After the mission was done, a death count was done and it was better than expected. Of the 10 strike squads, 3 were completely wiped out and the other squads returned with at least 3 soldiers. A huge ceremony was held to celebrate the survivors, and to honor the dead in the Sparta republic. All the survivors received their rewards, as they immediately became soldiers of the Spartan army.

On returning from the mission, Sonia’s life never remained the same. She wallowed in sadness for a long time, being the only survivor to miss the award celebration. After some time of indulging in her sadness, she finally fulfilled Clark’s wish by visiting his best friend Leo. The whole country honored Clark and the others, as everyone thought he was already dead.

Leo also mourned for a whole day, before Clark’s car’s A.I connected to his implant. The A.I was completely aware, that its owner was still alive. After 2 days of travelling, she finally met Leo in his military check point. After the truth was broken to her, her joy knew no bounds as she hugged Leo while shaking him excitedly.

She finally found her usual drive to train and improve again, as she proudly told Leo that Clark would come back in 5 years to be her boyfriend. Leo was completely speechless, but he still rode on her joy celebrating also.

“When did Clark know how to get a girl go this crazy over him?” He asked himself in surprise.
