Chapter 190 Meeting General Aron
Chapter 190 Meeting General Aron
?
After getting out of the pods, they immediately walked to the closest elevator they could find, as they got closer, the doors of the elevator opened.
Upon entering, they noticed that the elevator was spacious enough to fit all of them at once and still have some space for more, after everyone was in, the doors of the elevator got closed and it started rising even before they could press the floor they wanted to go.
As they waited to reach their destination, the screen inside the elevator was showing various information, including the time, date, temperature and other miscellaneous things, however, the soldiers' eyes were stuck on one thing: The date.
Initially, they thought that it would have been a mistake but then considering the amount of technology that might have been needed to accomplish what they had been through, they came to the conclusion that the technology they have is too advanced for it to miss such a mistake, thus, they came to a shocking realization which they didn't want to believe, the more than three months they had spent in the stimulation while training was nothing but a week in the real world.
"They are fucked!" one of the soldiers remarked, feeling sorry for Esparia and the consequences of their actions.
Knowing that thanks to them fucking around way too much, they were about to find out what it was to suffer.
The rest of the people on the Elevator nodded in agreement to the man's words, but in their minds, they were still thinking about how the heck did they experience three and a half months in a matter of a week.
Ding!!!!
A notification sound was heard followed by the opening of the elevator doors, revealing Aron standing in front of them in an impressive military uniform, his shoulders each donning 5 stars with the stars and it was without a doubt made of what could be called exotic materials.
The first star, the farthest one from his neck, had a dark blue or near black color and was made out of the mineral Lapis Lazuli, this was a symbol of water and the star symbolizing his command over the Navy.
The second star, made from Emerald, represented the army with its green color and the forest where their responsibilities lie the most, symbolizing his control over the army.
The third star, crafted out of Aquamarine, revealing its light blue hue, acted as the color and the symbol of the endless sky, representing his control over the air force.
The fourth star, reflecting the light hitting it, was made out of Quarts, acting as the color representing the intelligence branch of the military and symbolizing his control over it.
The last star, made of Galaxyite also known as the Nebula stone, showcased its captivating patterns of deep blue and green colors resembling a celestial galaxy or a nebula, it represented the amalgamation of all the branches but also carried his vision of the future of his forces expanding into the vast universe.
The soldiers, though surprised and impressed by the uniform's design and how cool it looked and fit him, wasted no time and immediately saluted Aron in unison, feeling honored by being the first people to be witnessing him donning the uniform.
Aron returned the salute from the soldiers which allowed them to return their hand back to their hips, but they still continued to maintain their attention formation and waited for further orders.
"At ease," Aron said, immediately followed by their reaction to the order, getting into the at ease position without wasting a single second.
"Good," Aron nodded his head in satisfaction seeing that the soldiers weren't doing it in the american style but rather in the way they had been taught by Athena who had designed these routines after a few simulations and creating the one she deemed to be both visually appealing and the beneficial for the health of the soldiers applying them.
"Since you are the first batch of graduates from the training camp, I decided to come and see you the moment you left the pod and perform the inspection. However, due to the occurrence of some complications, it looks like our greetings have to be cut short. You will be escorted to your resting rooms so that you can rest before being immediately dispatched with your new gear to the borders of Esparia. There seem to be some indications that they will be making their moves anytime now," Aron spoke, his voice devoid of his usual friendly tone. At the moment, he was speaking as the General and the highest commanding person of Ares, or what people thought as the Edenian military, hence his tone carried dignity and authority.
"Understood?" He asked after he finished.
"Yes, sir," all of them answered in unison. Showing no signs of displeasure or worry could be seen on their face, as they knew that the enemies they had faced in that world were a hundred times more difficult to fight against than the American army and despite that they still were able to manage to hold their ground. Right now, they were only excited about testing the types of equipment in the real world where they were confident of having technological supremacy over the enemy. They wanted to overcome and heal the trauma of their past losses and emerge victorious.
"Good, you can start by putting these on before you are escorted to where you are supposed to go," Aron said, pointing at the box that contained glasses, earphones-like devices along with many other things, each of the devices had a name on them, these were the equipment that was designed based on the preferences of the soldiers whose name was on these devices.
Upon saying those words, Aron immediately started walking back to the part of the building where Nova had arranged his personal residency during his stay on the island. which was nothing other than the most beautifully decorated living space.
And although it occupied only a small space in the building, the size of this suite was extremely massive, surpassing many luxurious Suites that boasted their large size.
The soldier immediately picked up the devices which had their names on top of it and knowing what the devices were, they wasted no time and put them on.
As soon as they did so, they were immediately welcomed by the voice that caused them to subconsciously tense up, because the voice belonged to the trainer who had made them go through a hellish training, Athena.
However, no time was wasted and they were immediately given directions to go to their respective rooms, upon entering, they found thousands of doors stretching so far as if the series was never going to end and each of them had been directed to a different room.
Entering the room, they found nothing that they could complain about, everything looked luxurious, with a box at the table which contained their uniform and each of the uniforms was perfectly tailored to their specific body size.
As the soldiers tried their uniforms, they found that it wasn't just comfortable, it was also functional, the uniform wasn't sacrificing any function over its form.
