728 Chapter 728 Special Squad

Aldred observed Francus and Grigor with a knowing smile, his eyes reflecting the potential he had just glimpsed within them. As the leader of the Celestial Platoon, he recognized the value of dedicated and resilient warriors, even if their strength wasn't immediately evident.

With an air of authority, Aldred offered, "Would you two like to join a special squad directly under me?"

Francus and Grigor exchanged surprised glances, their expressions a mix of disbelief and gratitude. To be invited to serve directly under Aldred was an honor beyond their wildest dreams. They had heard of the legendary missions and adventures undertaken by Aldred's squad, and the prospect of being part of such a team was both exhilarating and humbling.

Grigor was the first to find his voice. "Sir, we would be honored to join your special squad."

Francus nodded fervently in agreement. "Absolutely, sir. We'll give it our all."

Aldred's smile widened, and he nodded approvingly. "Good. I see great potential in both of you. You've already faced the horrors of the Demonic Realm and emerged victorious. Now, you'll face even greater challenges together." The inaugural upload of this chapter took place via N0v3l-B1n.

With that, Aldred extended his hand, and one by one, he shook hands with Francus and Grigor, sealing their commitment to this new journey. The bond they formed in that moment was not only one of camaraderie but also a promise to stand against the darkness that threatened their world.

As they stood there in the aftermath of their battle with the demon god, the remnants of the once-crumbling cavern gradually settled. The atmosphere seemed lighter, as if the malevolent presence that had plagued them had dissipated along with the demon god's defeat.

he pulled out a small communicator device and activated it. "Shinari, it's me," he said firmly into the device.

Moments later, a holographic projection of a woman appeared before them. It was Shinari, Aldred's trusted friend and a formidable leader in her own right. Her eyes held a depth of wisdom, and her presence exuded authority. She was currently leading the Celestial Platoon in Aldred's absence.

Shinari nodded in acknowledgment. "Aldred, what do you need?"

Aldred wasted no time in getting to the point. "I want you to set up a special squad, Shinari. We'll call it the 'Chosen Warriors.' Add Francus and Grigor as its first members."

Shinari's expression remained composed, but her eyes glinted with curiosity. "Chosen Warriors, you say? Very well, I'll make the necessary arrangements."

Aldred turned to Francus and Grigor, his voice filled with pride. "Congratulations, both of you. You are the first members of the Chosen Warriors."

Grigor and Francus exchanged excited glances, their hearts swelling with a sense of purpose and honor. To be part of a squad personally established by Aldred was a dream come true, and they were ready to prove themselves as worthy members.

Francus spoke with gratitude in his voice. "Thank you, sir. We won't let you down."

Shinari added, "We'll provide you with resources and support. Consider it an apprenticeship of sorts. When you've proven your worth, you'll have the opportunity to officially join the Chosen Warriors."

Aldred's stern expression softened as he saw the determination in Francus and Grigor's eyes. "You've made the right choice. Now, follow me," he said, gesturing for them to follow him.

The trio left the cavern behind and made their way to the outside, where Aldred's flagship, the Stellar Seraph, awaited. It was a magnificent vessel, bristling with advanced technology and armed to the teeth.

As they boarded the ship, Francus and Grigor couldn't help but feel a sense of awe. They were stepping onto the renowned flagship of the Celestial Platoon, a vessel that had seen countless battles and adventures.

Once inside, Aldred led them through the ship's labyrinthine corridors until they reached a massive chamber filled with rows upon rows of cutting-edge weapons, power armor, energy shields, and various other technological marvels.

Aldred's voice held a note of pride as he explained, "Welcome to the Armory of the Stellar Seraph. This is where you'll choose the equipment that suits you best for your upcoming missions. You'll find everything you need here, from blasters to energy swords and advanced suits of power armor."

The array of choices before them was staggering, and Francus and Grigor couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement. This was a significant step in their journey to becoming Chosen Warriors, and the possibilities were limitless.

Aldred stepped aside, giving them space to explore and make their selections. "Take your time. Pick what resonates with you, what you think will aid you in your missions. Remember, these tools are an extension of your abilities."

Francus and Grigor began examining the various weapons and equipment on display, carefully considering their options. Each piece of technology had its unique capabilities, and they needed to choose wisely to enhance their strengths.

After what seemed like hours of deliberation, they made their choices. Grigory opted for a sleek energy blade that could cut through almost anything, while Francus chose a set of high-impact blasters with precision targeting systems.

Satisfied with their selections, they turned to Aldred, who nodded in approval. "Good choices. Your equipment will be customized to fit your preferences and combat style. Now, let's get you started on your training regimen."

Aldred's eyes gleamed with confidence as he watched Francus and Grigor make their equipment choices. He knew that the path ahead would be challenging, but he believed in their potential.

"Now that you've chosen your gear, it's time for your first mission," Aldred declared. "I have a task that will test your abilities and help you grow stronger. You will be sent to a distant planet where reports indicate the presence of a dangerous creature: a 30-headed hydra."

The mention of such a formidable foe made Francus and Grigor exchange determined glances. This was no ordinary mission; it was a trial by fire, and they were ready to face it head-on.

Aldred continued, "The hydra is terrorizing the local inhabitants, and it needs to be eliminated. It won't be an easy battle, but it's a necessary step in proving yourselves as worthy members of the Chosen Warriors."

Francus nodded resolutely. "We understand, sir. We'll confront the hydra and put an end to its threat."

Grigor echoed his sentiment. "Consider it done. We won't return until the hydra is defeated."
