Chapter 11

Incomplete Monster

[The Nicholas is down! The Prontera had received substantial damage from the explosion! The Masked Organization took down the Nicholas!]

“Deploy Cyclone escort squads six and seven. Tell them the priority of Prontera’s safety until it gets back to the hangar base.” 

[The interference on the southeast and eastern sides of the battlefield have been confirmed, sir!]

“Order the 9th Division to deploy their beast platoon first to flank the enemy. Tell the Hydra to lend a panel of missiles to cover the east gate.”

[Another platoon of  Bombers are coming sir!]

“Tell the Shield Mages to hold their grounds!”

[Second division is starting to crumble! Division commander has fallen to the masked men! H-His MOD has been taken!]

“Damn. Tell the 13th Division to support the 2nd Division and tell Colonel Forge to take charge of those troops. Do not let the line crumble down! Warn the others of the masked men’s target at once!”

[Attention to all Sylphs, the Masked Organization is targeting MOD wielders! Warning to…] 

“Radar! What’s the situation in the sky?”

[Winged Element units are being deployed from the Amaya and Acala sir! Captain Nash is currently taking part in a dogfight!]

“Shit! He’s done it again. How long until Missouri recovers its energy?”

[Unconfirmed sir! The communication is down due to the masked men’s interference!]

[Sir! Detected an unknown heat signature! Location, 139! Estimated speed at 140kn and dropping! Distance, 180km! Its headed towards our direction!] 

The reports from the officers of the Sylphs came in on the Command HQ. Their Guild Master, Matsuri, were looking at different angles of the war taken from his own men assigned to become correspondents. In the conference room of their HQ, Real@D screens were set up in a side way series, placed next to each other like a large curved wall.

“What is the affiliations of that ship?” He asked the Radar Officer. The operator looked at his console and did another check on the database regarding all of the publicised information about warships in Terroa.

[Nothing…sir. Its…It’s not registered in any of the existing database. I think it’s a rogue unit or a private owned ship that is just developed recently sir.]

“Does it look like it’s going to attack any side?”

[Its not sending any lock-on lasers. But it’s ignoring our warning messages! Though I don’t think its going to target anything for now. But scanners shows that it’s equipped with six Bloodymary cannons and two large bio-signatures inside. Category, “S”.]

Bloodymary and an S-ranked bio-signature? But if it has six of those monstrous cannons, then that means…

“Alright. Mark that unknown ship.” 

[S-Sir?]

Matsuri somehow became anxious as his expression made the people in the room nervous.

The Radar Officer encharged of the table console for watching over the battlefield locator chart marked the unknown blue dot on their Real@D locator hologram though he himself wasn’t sure if he received the right command.

Then, Matsuri called out without turning his head.

“Reynolds.”

“Sir!” On Matsuri’s right side was a gruffly Atlas in his classic Swordmage attire —semi-armor clothing and a large buster sword on his back, always looking like ready to leap into the battlefield anytime. “What’re your orders?”
