My Space-Time System

471 Hit and run tactics (part 2).

Instead of standing and accepting their judgment, the koodron had decided to run thus making Ebony and Ivory even madder.

Seeing how it took them no time to get to it, the koodron knew there was no use running.

Immediately, the large emerald crystals behind its back began glowing and instantly a dome of chromastone erupted from below and covered it.

Knowing that the chromastone would only buy it some time, the king rank beast began using the earth element to simultaneously dig the ground and create an underground passage.

If it were going against any other beasts this plan would have worked because the moment the chromastone dome had appeared, Ivory froze the entire area including the tunnel it was digging while Ebony’s body had lit up in flames.

Instantly it had turned into a spinning flaming hurricane that crashed into the chromastone dome and broke right through it.

BOOM!

Ebony had used the koodron to break right through the other side of the chromastone dome.

The king rank reptile was trying to recover from the attack when Ebony bit it by its neck and threw it high into the air.

.....

Before it could understand what was going on a 15 meters tall ice glazier had pierced right into it, killing it on the spot.

All these had happened in less than 30 seconds, sending fear into the hearts of both the beasts and the humans in the area.

On seeing the death of their assigned leader, some of the beasts wasted no time trying to escape, but their fates were sealed when Blake gave Ebony and Ivory the order to not let any escape.

At the same time, another special ops unit had arrived on the scene and was helping Blake’s unit take care of the beasts that were still fighting.

‘Why is he just standing there and just watching?!’ The leader of the ash corps unit thought as he saw Blake standing on a tree branch.

After they were done taking down all the beasts, Blake jumped down from the tree and went to meet up with his team but that was when the leader of the special ops unit approached him.

“Why didn’t you help your team in defending against the beasts?” The captain asked.

“Because I was testing them since this is their first time taking part in an operation as big as this.” Blake said to the captain.

“Bullshit! I have seen a lot of captains use this silly excuse to get their team to do the entire work!” The special ops captain flared up.

Blake’s team that was watching the event unfold by the side would have loved to explain that he was really testing them. But not only could they not talk with permission from the captain but that was when Ebony and Ivory appeared beside Blake in their Haiti and Skoll form.

Both king rank beasts lowered their heads at the captain before exhaling streams of hot and cold air, sending chills down his spine.

“You guys should handle the corpses and be careful in case of another surprise. Also, good job guys.” Blake said before recalling Ebony and Ivory to their sword forms and returning to the tree he was at with Camilla.

“Do you think you will get in trouble because of that?” Camilla couldn’t help but ask after hearing about the episode between him and the captain.

“Not at all. As long as none of them was hurt in the process of the test it is alright. Besides I am basically the one that took down the king rank beast.” Blake said as he continued munching down on his cottage pie.

“So how did they perform?” Camilla asked

“They were more organized than I expected and they made the right call of staying on the defense. If the other unit hadn’t arrived, it would have been a few minutes and they would have gone on the attack.” Blake said.

“Although I can’t do the same, the expansion would enable them to get a lot of experience.” Camilla said.

Unlike Blake’s team, her team’s strength was more in quantity than quality meaning the same test would have a higher chance of failing.

“The battlefield should be cleared up by now. Time to go report this to major Reeves.” Blake said just after he was done with his dinner.

…

It turned out that it wasn’t only Blake’s unit that had been attacked. 10 king rank beasts had attacked the humans but Blake’s team was the only one that wiped out every beast including the king rank beast.

The other units not only suffered a lot of injuries and few deaths, but the reason they had survived was because they got help from the special ops units close by and the normal ash corps unit behind them.

When more of the humans arrived, both injured and uninjured beasts wasted no time retreating, making it more than clear that they were employing the hit and run tactic on the humans. This made the higher-ups change their tactics for the city expansion.

Instead of the normal ash corps unit staying behind, they were now tasked with joining the special ops unit.

This would enable the special ops unit to focus and immediately take out the biggest threats, while the others support them and take care of the normal beasts.

…

“I can’t blame the higher-ups for the few casualties because no one would have expected the beasts to be so united even after the beast tide.” Blake said to Camilla as they stood watch.

“Yeah, even I wouldn’t have thought they would send 10 king rank beasts.” Camilla said.

“I fear that this is just the beginning.” Blake said.

The expansion was still at the outskirts of the Mina forest, so he was expecting things to get worse the deeper went.
