Chapter 146: emergence of the seafarers alliance fleet

Somewhere deep below the Mediterranean Sea, an enormous and heavy armor-protected military base stood, spreading as far as the eyes could see, though it could not be seen.

The water around the area was completely calm and still, no creature was in sight, making the surroundings look like an abandoned part of the sea.

The outer surface of the military base blended with the dark blue color of the underwater environment. The addition of strong stealth measures made the base completely undetectable by animals and even other human devices.

As calmness reigned, an alarm suddenly started ringing inside the base. All the originally white lights turned red, indicating that it was an S rank alert.

Military alert signals are in 7 different categories. There are the F, E, D, C, B, A, and S, and they are categorized according to their order of importance. Following this order, the S rank alert was the highest grade of security alerts.

After hearing the tone in which the alarm rang, and the red flashing lights all over the military base, all the worker’s expressions became grave as they all rushed to their work posts.

The original calm was disrupted, as every worker professionally went to work immediately to detect the source of the alarm.

Unlike the other workrooms and offices, one of the room’s lights was finally switched back to the original white color. Thudding sounds echoed along the hallway, as a bunch of heavily armored guards escorted a soldier to this particular room.

[Ding!! Source of anomaly pinpointed..., matching co-ordinates and energy signature with records in the database.]

[Ding!! Energy signature recognized…, projecting the full known picture of target. Last full seen picture of target projected.]

The soldiers working in the room were startled, as their eyes all narrowed in surprise and alarm at what the main A. I of the base just projected. They all recognized the familiar figure of this dangerous beast.

“Drakonous”. This thought passed through all their heads simultaneously, before the man being followed by the soldier entourage finally entered the room.

“Good morning Commander”. On seeing the man, the soldiers all stood up respectfully as they proceeded to greet and give him the military salute.

From the way that he was just called, it became apparent that this was a pinnacle soldier with the 5th breakthrough already under his belt. This indirectly showed the formidableness of this military base.

“Tell me”. He didn’t waste time with words, as he directly ordered for the situation to be explained to him. The soldiers acknowledged him, as the technical leader in this room immediately came forward to present the results of their detection.

His eyes narrowed into thin lines as he entered a contemplating mood, after hearing that this ancient primordial exobeast appeared. After 10 seconds, he finally snapped out of his daze with a grin on his face.

“Hehe, Drakonous, you finally appeared out of your hole. Well, prepare to get back into your cage”. With this thought, he immediately came up with plans on the spot before giving orders to his soldiers.

“Dan, prepare a fleet immediately. I’m personally leading an expedition there to intercept this unruly exobeast, I’ll get it back to its rightful place”.

“Chase, go and bring my armor, gadgets, and my sword. I’m about to go exobeast hunting”.

After giving this series of orders, the originally calm sea started stirring, as the bigshots of the sea were finally about to mobilize their forces.

2 exotic enhanced submarines quickly emerged from the big hibernating lot of the military base, following these appearances were the emergence of 5 dangerous-looking warships. This was the standard formation of a Seafarers alliance fleet, imposing and tyrannical.

The 5 warships were surrounded by an energy shield, so the surrounding water was unable to penetrate and go inside.

After coming out of the military base completely. They moved forward swiftly to cross a small distance away from the base before a spatial fluctuation appeared in their front.

Hum!! With a soft pulse and sound, the 7 war assets disappeared, as they were transported immediately to their destination.

The exobeast hunting expedition officially took off, as the military base restored its calm nature again like all these were just an illusion.

…

Back in the location of the ongoing crisis, in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea, the explosion range finally started expanding outwards in a spiral manner after the initial eruption range.

Body parts and blood finally reached the water surface, dyeing it with a deep tint of red. After losing so many soldier crews, all the fleets were already scrambling around to leave this cursed area.

Though the explosion was not able to reach the surface, the orange color of its still spreading form and the heat now emanating from the sea scared the hell out of them.

All they aimed to do now was escape first, before returning later to rescue their leaders when the commotion has died down. Staying here would just lead to their deaths.

…

Under the sea was still raging and stirring like a broken violent washing machine, as Clark tried hard to stabilize himself while still swimming with all his might to get to the surface.

Though the momentum has reduced, he could not afford to rest as the fire of the explosion was still steadily spreading outwards.

Today would really be an unforgettable dark day of death to him if he survived, as hundreds of high-grade soldiers were already dead. Hundreds were still persevering like him, as they tried to scramble their way to safety.

After only 2 minutes, because his boots were operating at their maximum output, they finally lost steam as their energy reserves got depleted.

Despite this, a relieved and happy expression was on his face as he was finally within the range of the water surface.

When he got close enough, he was finally able to contact the Spartan fleet without interruption. Through this brief contact, he was able to know the circumstances that were being faced by the fleet.

He quickly showed them a co-ordinate, before turning to swim there as the environment there was safer, closer, and calm.

After a deep underwater adventure where he basically exhausted all his life-saving measures, he finally regrouped with his fleet.

He climbed the main ship, as all the high-grade soldiers came out to welcome him. They all survived due to his earlier help, which was something they were deeply grateful for.

On climbing to safety, he quickly acknowledged their welcome gestures before hastily urging them to move forward.

Originally, this surrounding of the sea was now not safe again. But this was no longer enough to threaten their retreating fleet, but his intuition was telling him that something more frightening was about to happen.

The soldiers were surprised at his strong urge, as their real leader, Captain Oxford was still behind. Till now, there was no sign of the 3 Generals. Their health status was also not known, so they originally wanted to wait and linger around for some time for their Captain.

“Don’t worry, I will order for the fleet to come back for Captain Oxford when we are safe. Turn and retreat now first, this place is no longer safe”. He urged them with an anxious expression on his face.

Seeing how flustered and worked up he was, the skeptical soldiers no longer hesitated as they ordered for an immediate retreat.

The ships of the Spartan fleet slowly gained momentum, as they also started blasting off like most of their counterparts.

Most of the fleets already lost all their confidence in this mission, they no longer cared about protocols, only how to escape faster was on their minds. Their ships blasted out at maximum output, as they moved faster to get away from this death region.

On the main ship of the Spartan fleet, Clark stood with rows of soldiers behind him, as he looked out into the sea.

His brows were furrowed, as he entered a deep contemplating mood. His danger instincts were never this precise to him before, he felt like a cold dagger was placed on his neck which was constantly leaving him flustered.

And he was sure that this incoming danger was very near, that’s why he came out with the high-grade soldiers to watch.

He was right in the end, as a change finally started emerging into the battlefield. Faint ripples spread in the air, the fabric of space around the area started folding ominously before a large teleportation field suddenly materialized, extending down below the water.

The remaining bold fleets that still lingered around the military research base’s surrounding, waiting for their leaders were horrified when they saw the eye-catching symbol of the sea hegemon on these newcomers.

Seeing the appearance of the 5 thick armored and formidable-looking warships, some of the already overwhelmed soldiers directly fainted from the shock.

This mission battle was already legendary enough to be recorded in the international history records, the participants alone were already exceeding the originally planned boundaries.

Following the appearance of the 5 warships, the 2 war submarines quickly plunged deep into the sea before the teleportation field finally disappeared.

After getting new and precise orders, the submarines dived deeper, straight to the detected location of the military base. They passed countless dead and roasted soldiers before they finally set their eyes on their huddled-up target.

Hum!! A deep frightening pulse emerged from the 2 submarines with a large release of energy. Following this action, a dangerous-looking rope covered by an electric field was launched, each from the 2 subs.

The surface of the seawater in contact with the ropes produced sparks and released more heat, distorting the unstable water further before they finally attached to their target.

Drakonous already sensed the danger nearby, but it was unable to react fast enough as the explosion still lingered in its location.

Feeling the deep electric current flowing through its nerves, it tried to roar angrily but it could not as all its monstrous muscles suddenly felt too heavy for it to utilize.

Blue light representing another large discharge of energy was released again from the 2 submarines, as they started moving back to the surface while dragging this still struggling and heavy exobeast along.

The bold fleets still originally waiting already lost their courage, as they all hastily scrambled away now that they still had the chance.

Reverence, fear, and respect emerged from their hearts, as they saw the frightening Drakonous that almost wiped them out being easily dragged to the surface by just one maneuver of these sea tyrants.

Clark’s eyes narrowed into slits like that of a cobra’s on seeing the fleet of the Seafarers alliance. This battle just got a lot more complicated.

“Attention, all the ship crews. On behalf of the Spartan army, I’m granting a bonus that will be given if we survive, to the workers that perform best on this our escape”.

“Listen to my order. Full speed ahead, we are getting out of this battlefield immediately”.

This time, no one protested as everyone went to work on how best to make their ships blast off at a faster speed.

As they started their preparations, this was when a loud imperious voice, like that of an emperor was transmitted across the sea. Commander Lionel of the Seafarers alliance’s matured voice echoed loudly, as their target’s body finally emerged above the sea surface.

“Drakonous!!! After so long, you finally came out of your hiding hole. Today, you are either dying or being captured by me”.
