Chapter 225: strategy nning for the escape


    rk, I still cant believe that you actually went inside the alphas pce. That was too daring of you. Diana spoke out with a deep sigh as she idly caressed her sword.


    I know it seemed reckless, but the information that I brought back is priceless. Without knowing that there is the 2nd alpha, our chances of escaping would be practically zero if we made and followed conventional ns.


    rk calmly replied, as he casually swiped at the open air with the dagger that was on his hand.


    rk is right, this information is priceless. Even with knowing it now, there is no guarantee that our escape will be full-proof and sessful. Benny alsomented at this point with a serious expression on his face.


    Youre right but, it just doesnt feel right. Diana added again.


    You guys keep on talking about how rk ced himself in danger while forgetting how you all heartlessly left me in danger. Dickson finally spoke out at this point in a bitter tone.


    You, yes you Diana, I never knew you were that ruthless. I guess everybody who follows rk is like that, I should have known. How can you guys just leave me at the back? Thats heartless. Hemented.


    The soldier that you selected with us from your squad also left you. No hard feelings, we left because we had faith in your strength to protect yourself. Diana calmly replied.


    Dickson was left speechless again.


    Yesterday night, after rk fled past him with the help of his multi-purpose boots during their moment of desperation, panic took over him but he still escaped sessfully though.


    This was why they choose only 5 soldiers for the reconnaissance mission; their retreat waspletely smooth and without burden. In just 5 minutes, the animals lost them.


    After they arrived back at their temporary camp, they all turned tosh out at their leader angrily for cing them in such a dangerous situation.


    They were extremely angry, but when rk revealed the information of there being a 2nd alpha exobeast in the animals kingdom for them to pass through, they all kept quiet in shock.


    As Benny said, this was priceless information.


    Trying to escape without this information and trying to escape when knowing it was apletely different thing, they all suddenly felt cold sweat cover their backs on thinking of its far-reaching consequence.


    Thinking deeply into it, Dickson finally realized that his saying that he almost crossed the cliff with his squad was just spouting nonsense.


    There was no way that the alpha Wily Yak would look at them foolishly, and leave them to cross its territory without retaliation. If they had to face 2 alphas then, he was sad to realize that he would probably be a dead man already.


    Thinking of that, he suddenly felt that rk was the bestpanion in the world. Without his daring move, they would have still been ignorant of this truth.


    They originally nned to make their move this week, but this new variable affected their ns as they were still brainstorming on ways to suppress the 2 alphas, or even avoiding them.


    Even though 2 days already passed since they returned, they were still bashing their heads against a rock. They could not think of any viable n that could increase their escape chances.


    Their small gathering was inside a big tent that the camp made temporarily for them to act as their strategy discussion hall.


    Ok, it seems that we are still clueless. Im tired, Ill see you guyster, I want to rest. If you find a viable n though, you can wake me. rk said with a tired yawn.


    He did not wait for them to answer before he picked his bag, stood up from his mechanical chair, and walked out of the tentzily.


    After he found out about 2 alphas being their opponent, he lost most of his optimism since then. To him, if they could note up with a revolutionary magical n, their chances of escaping were close to nil.


    He was the only one who saw the 2 alphas up close, he was the only one who experienced the pressure exuded by them, and he was the only one who felt how strong they were up close.


    Thinking of the experience, he felt hopeless and exhausted. Never in his life had he ever been so afraid, it was a traumatic experience for him.


    Seeing rk walk out of the tent dispiritedly, the others had various expressions on their faces but no one tried to stop him.


    Though they were still discussing vibrantly at the moment, inwardly, they already knew that their escape chances were bing less and less likely to be sessful.


    If no one cane up with a better n, we will face the animals like that. Its better for us to die trying than to die miserably in a forest like this where we have no other choice of escape.


    Dickson spoke out at this moment also. He looked at the others in the room, nodded at them before standing and leaving.


    Seeing this, the others said nothing as they also stood up to start going. They had no objections to what Dickson just said, they had no ns of spending the rest of their days trapped in a forest.


    The golden rays of the sun shone down, illuminating the allied squads temporary camp and encapsting it in a very rainbow-like colorful glow.


    It was another beautiful morning with bright prospects and opportunities for those who cared to explore.


    It was already 2 days since thest gathering that rk held with the others to think up a useful strategy, they didnte up with any mind-blowing n yet but they were ready to advance and leave the forest.


    In the end, there was really no use in them cowering in the forest due to fear. This would make them miss the timing toplete their mission, thereby rendering their cause meaningless.


    rk sat at the head of the round table that was erected in the strategy discussion tent, as Dickson and the other soldiers looked at him intensely.


    Seeing that everyone was focused on him with serious expressions on their faces, he nodded before opening his mouth to speak. His voice wasced in a solemn tone to show the importance of thisst meeting before engaging.


    You all already heard my ns through our onlinework nning session, so I will not go into details. I will justy them down again and emphasize on a point if needed.


    Today, we are leaving this forest and there is nothing that can stop us except death. I hope you are all ready and already informed the soldiers.


    Yes, my soldiers already know. Dickson answered while clearing his throat.


    Good, for our specific strategy n, let me illustrate it again. Saying this, rk stood up and swiped his hand at the air as a holographic screen quickly materialized.


    The holographic screen flickered a bit before stabilizing as an erged picture quickly emerged into view, the angle of sight being disyed was from the air. This was the aerial view of the animal territory.


    Though the information that they discovered about the alpha lion exobeast was their most important discovery when they went out for surveince, they still gathered other useful findings.


    For example, the current aerial view of the animals territory was what rk captured when he went deeper into the enemy ranks to get better-capturing angles.


    This is the entire territory of the animals. I edited it and did some modifications, so the image is divided into 4 parts and are distinguished using different colors.


    The part painted in yellow color in the image is the periphery zone of their territory, this is where the lesser animals lower in their hierarchy reside. The red zone next to it is the middle zone, where slightly higher-ranked animals stay.


    Thest 2 zones are the ones that we should be most wary of. The purple zone is where the strongest animals reside, what stands out most ringly there is that its filled with Wild Yaks.


    Thest zone, I call it the ck zone as its depicted by the same color. As you can see, its the smallest zone, but its the most dangerous huddle that we have to pass before even smelling escape.


    If I remember correctly, your squad was busted at the red zone, right? rk directed a look at Dickson.


    Yes. Thetter answered reluctantly.


    This just shows how dangerous an endeavor we are trying to aplish, but I believe that we can do it as far as we remain cohesive and follow my battle ns to the book.


    For the past few days, I have been engaged in rigorous calctions topare and make out the best escape n.


    I already sent the borate details to you all, but I still want to expound on the moremon and important basic ones. I already told you, for us to get a chance at escaping, we need to divide ourselves into groups.


    For my squad, the Spartan squad, I already relinquishedmand of the soldiers to Diana.


    Hearing this, the soldiers did not make a fuss as they already knew beforehand. Still, this did not fail in making them shift ufortably on their seats, this was a daring n.


    Diana,plete control of the Spartan squad will be in your hand, I hope that you will not disappoint me. We have a lot of things at stake in this battle, and there is no ce for mistakes.


    Are you up for this task? Are you prepared?


    Yes, sir. The female soldier answered quickly, as a determined light seemed to twinkle deep inside her eyes.


    For your squad, Dickson, I already spoke with you, you are relinquishing authority and handing everything to your second inmand. This is not a conventional battle, and we will not take conventional means either.


    Sergeant Anna, you shall take overmand of the Dnd squad. I hope you are up to this task?


    Yes, sir. The beautiful blonde-haired female answered calmly.


    Good. As for you Benny, you shall takemand of the newly created nking squad that was formed from abination of soldiers from both squads. You have an indispensable role in our escape.


    Half of the high-grade soldiers in our allied force are under yourmand, I expect you to step up when needed. If we fail to escape silently and we get discovered, make the battle chaotic to give us more opportunities of escape.


    As rk said this, he did not ask his friend any question, he just looked steadily straight in his eye.


    rk, I will not let you down. Benny pledged solemnly.


    Ok. For you Dickson, you know your role, 2 of us are the ones who will decide whether our soldiers perish or sessfully escape.


    We are not staying with our soldiers. We will act alone to silence and prevent any unexpected circumstances that may arise, and we also need to provide them with optimum help to enable their escape.


    We will be their sharp swords in the dark. rk paused a little after saying this, as he gave hispanion a pointed look.


    Dickson


    Speak, rk. Thetter answered calmly.


    If the situation goes contrary to our expectations and things go bad, I hope you are ready to give your


    No need rk, I love and respect my soldiers more than you think. I will dly give my life for them if that is what they need to escape. Dickson answered even before rk could finish.


    Ok, thats all. Our survival is in our hands, I hope to see smiles on our faces a few hours from now. You can all leave to flesh out your preparations more, no amount of preparation is too much.


    Ok.


    As the soldiers quickly left the tent, Diana stood up also but shegged behind the others. After they all left, she finally stopped at the side of the tents opening and looked back at rk.


    Well make it rk, I want to remind you that luck is by our side, I believe it. Remember once you once asked me? What do you say to the god of death?


    rk was startled by this question, but his confusion quickly cleared the next moment and was reced by a mncholic smile.


    Not, today.
