While 00 was in a difficult fight against the devourers, 02 seized the moment, and quickly took out several containers which were capsule-shaped and easily fit in the hand of an adult, then with the help of a knife he began to cut pieces of the mass of brain matter, while making the cut, the mass began to increase the intensity of the sound, in turn, all the devourers inside the cave began to run without looking back in the direction of the scream, this included the Breeders who were fighting 01 and 03 so they suddenly had a free escape route.
Once 02 had finished collecting part of the brain matter and securing the capsules in the compartments of his suit, he contacted 00, "insured package", 00 responded quickly in a message addressed to his entire team "Insured package, 7 minutes to leave of the cave ", while sending the message, he dodged one of the clothed ones of one of the ripper, then took his tail and with great force threw him against the remaining ripper, taking advantage of the moment, he turned and ran out of the room, 02 had previously left the room, before leaving, he threw a small sphere that exploded and sealed the room entrance, this measure would not stop the devourers but it would delay them a bit.
Soon both teams found, in turn the road was full of devourers mostly Breeders, and some Stalkers, who looked injured, none of these creatures really posed a danger to the team, however, the Ripper and the horde that would soon arrive. if they represented a real danger, so they had to flee quickly.
On the other hand, 02 and 03 were using level 3 spells to prevent the devourers from interfering from the back, as the group advanced, they noticed guttural sounds coming from the back, apparently the ripper would reach them soon, if they turned around and the 4 uniting to fight is very likely to be victorious, however, with a horde of devourers arriving the best choice was to run.
After a few minutes of advance they managed to see the entrance of the cave, however the rippers were a few meters from them, once they managed to reach the entrance, 00 indicated "everyone activate your anchor", the current equipment quickly, and From the lower area of the armor you could see several red lights, in turn the 4 remained still like plastic soldiers, the rippers along with the devourers that were not crushed by the envestida were about to arrive where they were The team, however, before they could get out of the cave, a huge dragon-shaped whirlwind crashed into the cave entrance, the whirlwind even affected the team, yet they did not move an inch, while the Ripper were thrown several meters into the cave with some injuries, most of the Breeders and Stalker were destroyed by the tornado, once the tornado ended the team quickly rushed to the point of e extraction.
At the extraction point there was 04, at his feet was a huge magic matrix that was slowly disappearing, around 04 were several drones distributed in key points of the matrix, these drones were one of the last DreamTech inventions and allowed That an individual magician could cast level 7 spells on a large scale, however had their limitations in addition to being a difficult technology to create therefore the number of stocks of these drones were very few.
As the team reached the extraction point, a number of roars could be heard from the nearby in turn, the floor began to shake as if something huge was quickly approaching, it was a sign that the horde was close, however soon A black aircraft appeared on top of them out of nowhere, 5 ropes were thrown from the ship that the team took to climb, once the 5 were inside, the aircraft closed its doors, and disappeared without making a single noise.
The entire operation lasted less than 30 minutes, and thanks to the horde splitting up, the outpost had a fairly easy day to eliminate the other half, on the other hand, once the horde reached the cave, they were able to see hundreds of thousands of devourers, mostly Stalker and Hornead Beasts, as the devourers scoured the area for intruders, inside the cave in the breeding room, the spheres that were left opened and soon exploded at once, creating a huge fire hello that swept through all the cave rooms and much of the valley.
The stealth aircraft did not go to the forward post, instead it went directly to the main base of Venus, which was located around the planetary portal, once the aircraft landed in one of the hangars the squadron quickly disembarked and headed to the Inside the facilities, the base was full of soldiers of different races since today was the change of shift, each soldier would have 3 months of active work, followed by 2 months of training and occupy a position in the reserve army, after 1 month of rest on the ground would return to active service, this system was designed to keep the troops in good physical and mental condition, since during the 3 months active in the front they exerted a lot of stress on the mind and physical of any inhabitant of the Federation.
As the squad entered the military facilities, everyone present quickly moved aside, and made a military salute, in this way the squad could advance quickly, while advancing several whispers could be heard around, "Why is there a squad of knights in Venus? I understand that they were all on Saturn defending the Father Tree ", another quickly spoke in response," I am not sure, but it is not just any squad, look at the numbers they carry on their shoulders, this 00 ", when the other soldiers heard all They stared at the number on the suit, some had looks of surprise and other a lot of admiration.
Some of the soldiers who were in a group a little further away could not help saying, "I don't see what they look special, the only difference from the knights and from the other elite groups are their suits, I assure you that, if not had that privilege, any elite soldier could defeat them ", one of the soldiers who was in the group responded with an angry tone," what a child who has just left the academy is going to know, do you think we respect only the gentlemen just because they are strong ?, they could be considered as a group of crazy people, who never give up, 7 years ago during the great evacuation of Venus I saw with my own eyes how a group of 200 knights under the leadership of 00 were left to delay the horde of devourers and allow the civilians to reach safety, while the knights fought. Do you know what all the organizations and armed groups of the time did?
When asked, the soldier who just belittled the knights remained silent, therefore, the soldier continued speaking "they did absolutely nothing, they simply left Venus for lost and fled, not even the very army of Venus stayed. to defend its citizens, in fact, if it weren't for those 200 knights even this base wouldn't exist, as they not only allowed the evacuation to be a success, they managed to keep the devourers away from the portal for 3 days until reinforcements arrived. , and do not think that it is the only thing they have achieved, you can ask any soldier who has been for more than 4 years in the army, without them it is likely that this war against the devourers we would have lost a long time ago.
