Chapter 269 After The Incident
Erend glanced at the soldier next to him. He still looks quite young.
And it was obvious that he was someone who didn't have much experience.
But the fact that he has been able to survive among all the dead, proves that he has the ability.
"Hey, what exactly did you see?" Erend asked.
Liam, who previously didn't want to disturb Erend because he saw his attitude, turned around with a slightly surprised expression on his face.
"You really didn't see it?" Liam asked back.
Erend shook his head. "I told you I passed out."
Liam looks unsure. But he shrugged it off.
"I didn't look at that in too much detail either," Liam said. "I only saw lightning flashing from the sea. Then a flash of blue light also came out after that."
Erend breathed a secret sigh of relief.
It's a relief to hear that Liam didn't see everything in detail.
"Then?" Erend asked.
"I think I heard something too. Like an explosion from underwater."
Liam took a deep breath.
"To be honest, I don't see it too clearly because I had to survive with running low on ammo."
Erend looked at Liam. Once again he breathed a secret sigh of relief.
'Turns out, he doesn't know much.'
"Sergeant, I believe that this is not just an attack by a foreign country or a terrorist group."
After Erend could feel a little relieved, Liam said something that made him worry again.
Erend looked at Liam. "What do you mean?"
"I mean... Look at all this. Doesn't this all look like the powers of those fantasy creatures you fought before?" Said Liam.
"You're right," Erend replied. For this one, he could not argue.
"Rights?" Liam said. "What if they decide to attack again?"
"They won't do that. Haven't you seen the news that I and my friends have solved the problem?" Erend said.
"Oh! Of course, I saw. You guys even caught LTC. Ibis and Coil" Liam said.
"Uncover their conspiracy and save this country from further Elf attacks."
Erend nodded.
"But, what if it's not just the Elves in another world? You've been to their place, right?"
Erend gritted his teeth. This man talks and thinks too much.
How did his brain process everything so quickly when he was almost dead and experiencing something like this?
"I only know about the Elves. I don't know if there are other creatures who want to make trouble with humans," Erend said.
"Hmm..." Liam mumbled while making a thoughtful expression.
"Don't let your mind be distracted by that fantasy world," Erend said.
"Just think of the most plausible possibilities. What if this really was a terrorist attack or attack from another country?"
Liam paused as if considering Erend's words.
"You're right. I haven't heard from that fantasy world since the war with them ended," says Liam.
"Do you know which country might do that? Or what terrorist group might have that kind of technology?" Erend asked.
Liam thinks for a few moments. Then said. "Recently the Radria Empire is having some kind of problem with us. I don't
"Oh, is that so? I don't know much about those things," Erend said.
"Hmm, yeah. The possibility that Radria did that is quite high. However, we can't ignore the others."
Erend stared at Liam silently. This guy seems pretty smart.
If he continued to be near him, his powers might be discovered.
Seconds later James returned from calling for help. It turned out that the radio signal was working again after the dimensional leak was closed.
James said that he had asked for help from the military to pick them up.
Now, they just needed to wait.
Erend waited with a feeling of uneasiness.
Liam is now talking about the potential for the Empire of Radria as the party to do this.
It turned out that there was another name that came out of the conversation between the two of them.
The terrorist group Red Cross, another country besides Radria named Ashus.
It turns out that during Erend and the others fought in the bunker for five years, several disputes and troubles occurred in this country.
But Erend didn't care about that because he knew they weren't the ones who had caused all this.
A few minutes later two helicopters came. Erend, Liam, and James walk outside waiting for the helicopter to land.
The helicopter landed and several people got out. Some of them were medics who immediately took care of the three of them.
From another helicopter, the people who came out immediately examined the scattered corpses and several unconscious soldiers.
Major Lennard shook her head as she glanced at the corpses.
"This one's still alive, Ma'am!" Said one of the medics who examined one of the soldiers who had been infected.
Major Lennard came toward the officer.
"Are you sure?" Major Lennard asked.
"Yes!"
"Here is still alive, Ma'am!" Said another medic.
After that, several exclamations saying that the soldiers were still alive were heard.
Major Lennard immediately contacted headquarters to request transport to take them.
After that, she walked over to Erend, Liam, and James who were being treated by medics.
"What is going on here?" asked the Major.
"We don't know," Erend replied. "When we got here, the ship was deserted. Suddenly they came from some kind of... Tear in spacetime and they ambush us."
A deep frown formed on the Major's forehead. "What are you talking about?"
"Did Sgt. Brook and Cpt. Boartusk make it to base safely, ma'am?"
Erend didn't answer Major Lennard's question. Instead, he asked his own question.
"Yeah. They're safe. So is Major Geralt," Major Lennard replied.
rend breathed a sigh of relief.
"We'd better get back to base now. You can explain everything there."
After that Erend, Liam, and James as three only survivors of this terrible incident were guided up to the helicopter.
Their helicopter flew and leaves the ship where a horrific incident that will go down in the secret history of Ascaria took place.
