Chapter 81 - A Dance With A Monster

"You wanna dance with me little pup?" Fang Shirong grinned as he fancied his two daggers on his hand after the last throw in the air, at the precise drop of the dagger it was exactly on his hand.

And after that he looked at the growling Lone Spiked wolf it was already showing its sharp teeth and its spikes are straight and pointy, it was trying to move forward and trying to get a chance to attack Fang Shirong in an unexpected way.

But Fang Shirong was able to twist his body when the Lone Spiked Wolf leaps in his direction and at the same time he twists his body goes down and slashing the left foot and stabbing its belly. And from that deep cut, the Lone Spiked Wolf leaps backward to retreat.

"Did you feel lively again Doggy?" Jin smirked as he looked at the lone spiked wolf with furious red eyes. "Ho ho the doggy is quite scary but not for me bring it on!" 

Meanwhile, Qiao Jiao was practicing his sword art at a dummy that was made of wood, there are times that basic wooden swords are much reliable than technology.

The ways of traditional swordsmanship that she wants to follow every time. That is why other swordsman players high regarded most traditional practitioners due to the quality of their strikes. 

Qiao jiao Swings her sword to the left and to the right with her strong strokes. The strong wind followed as she continues to swing her sword.

And soon it created marks on the sand that creates lines crescent to the swing she did. And with that, she can feel the power that she can let out at a single stroke of the sword. 

But when Jin entered the dome that both Fang Shirong and Qiao Jiao were doing a dual training session. And when Jin entered the dome the aura of the whole dome changes. "We need to gather up so both of you need to clean yourself and head back to the room"

Jin exclaimed the sliding door shuts. Jin turns around and the metal sliding door opened. When it opened he walked through it and go to the next Dome where Qi Meili and Han Zian were practicing. 

Han Zian was reading some important passages for his incantations for the summons of the healing power that was bestowed to him.

"Divine Smite, it can change color depending on how it was incanted. Same with the Angel bringer, it can be turned to offensive if the Cleric that summoned it was angry and wants revenge. What a cool construct of words to be put this will be something clever if I used this in the near future"

Qi Meili let out a soft sigh, she gently draws her last arrow that was in her quiver. She aims and lets go of the string of the bow. *Swoosh* the arrow traveled fast from the point of release to the bullseye of the target.

A single drop of sweat was the cost of that magnificent practice. The metal sliding door opened, and it was Jin and walked in he then said "You two get washed and head to the squad room we are going for a briefing."

The aura changed when Jin entered the room, when Jin was not entering the dome, it was peaceful and calm there was harmony. But when Jin entered it was filled with different emotions, and Jin also felt the pressure suddenly changes. That is why he quickly left the dome. 

"I guess that will be a mission coming up, I can feel it and I can see it from his face." Han Zian whispered as he walked closer to Qi Meili as they both walked out of the Dome. 

All of them were now inside the room Jin was in the middle and leaning at the table he was looking at everyone and then he said.

"Earlier this morning I received a briefing box, it was sent to me by the HeadQuarters, I appealed to this befitting due to that we have been deployed twice first was our target monsters boss and second was the rescue of the fallen angels. But sadly we are highly needed and recommended to get into this mission. And they decided we have the experience and skill to fix the problem on hand that is why they have picked us." 

"So they are welcoming us with another stress?" Fang Shirong giggled as he looked at Jin who was looking disappointed.

"That will be exactly what I pointing out but, we are going to spend on a location that is west of the region and it is an outpost for communication in that region in the west that is occupied by our dear Safe Zone Delta."

Jin turns around and grabs the briefing box. Jin put his finger on the scanner and an Intelligence voice sounded.

[Authorization complete]

[Welcome Specialist First Class Ru Jin]

[Mission: Outpost BLITZKRIEG]

And then a holographic map appeared in front of all of the members of the squad. "Now this is what they call outpost Blitzkrieg." Jin stopped and looked while pointing at the hologram that was flashed

"This outpost is home to 100 personnel and the personnel was all working under the supervision of Safe Zone Delta communication and strategical defense. And this outpost is one of the vitals due it borders the Safe Zone Alpha region outpost, Crow." 

Jin zooms in the location of the holographic map that was in front of them. "This is the outpost last 5 days," the Holographic map shows no red dots on the ground. "And today this is the scanned pictures of the location"

and then it shows the aftermath of attacks and some ongoing attacks. After that, he then said, with a bit of bitter end of the tongue "Open videos" and then a video was played, as it suddenly pops out and appeared in front of them, the video that was being played is one of the gruesome videos they have seen in their entire stay in the facility.

"Those people, they are all support units being attacked by those monsters in multiple events and now they are in a lifeline if they are going to be saved or not. Because of the outbound and inbound interactions of orders. There is a little time left before they initiate a protocol to fully destroy the outpost Blitzkrieg."

"They want us to go to that kind of hell hole and save some people, well I am up for the task. At least I can save some precious lives" Han Zian said as he looked at the video. Jin said "Stop" in an authoritative tone of voice and the video being played stopped. He then swiped all of the information inside the briefing box.

"Now it is up to us if we want to save those lives that are at stake right now. Most of those people have families here inside the walls. They are sent there because they need a job. That is why we are here we are chosen to defend the weak. Are you guys up for the task being given to us?"

Qi Meili clenched her fist and looked at Jin. "I am ready, monsters are my favorite pest to kill" Qiao Jiao nodded and said, "My sword is already sharpened to the end of its pointy edge I can slice them in half." 

Fang Shirong sigh and giggled "I am always ready. I was born ready"

Han Zian nodded and said "I already stated my opinion we are going Squad leader" 

Jin nodded and said with an authoritative tone of voice "We are leaving tomorrow morning so I want everyone to pack their things after this briefing ends, we will be moved there for 3 days so pack things that are most needed and supplies that are of great importance." 

``I too need to buy some bullets for my magazine count to increase.`` Jin looked from afar and once again he tapped on the briefing box and tapping [Accepting Mission]

After Jin said those orders all of them were dismissed and proceed to fix their things in order for them to move fast when its time to move for tomorrow. 

The silence inside the room suddenly changes, all of them were alarmed because of the loud sound of the alarm that has caused a disturbance to all of them. Jin opens his eyes as it was crusted, he stretched his arms and slowly woke up. After that, he did all of the necessary things in the morning before facing his uniform. But before he fixed his uniform he did a small exercise routine.

And when he opened the door all of his squad members were ready he was the only being waited. Jin nodded and grab his FXR-Raven and some of the military duffel bag that was given to them. 

All of them put their things at the back of the Armored Personnel Carrier due to the increase of fighting in the region they were also backed by a platoon of support units.

1 platoon of normal armored soldiers, and 2 support squads both players. The convoy was carefully planned beforehand that was discussed at the briefing box. 

"So we have a new car for going into the mission. Well, we are lucky we have an upgrade." Han Zian said as he reads one of the books he brought.

"There was an upgrade because the fighting at the region increases. We are there to reinforce now and the new news from the region is that they almost got outrun last night because of the monsters that have been attacking them."

Jin exclaimed as he manned the 2 turret guns that were controlled inside the APC. 

"Reinforcement so what is their man count over there?" Han Zian asked Jin with a curious look.. "Last time I said it was 100 now they are down to 70. 20 were wounded and 10 dead"
