Primordial Expanse: I have the Strongest Talent!

Chapter 296: Four planets

Unlike Alex, who had his own ship and could therefore leave and enter the battlefields as he pleased, Mira and all of the other Prodigies in the Telorn system had to follow the same system as the military officials.

Mira didn't spend long in her dormitory, only unpacking all of her spare clothes and other essential stuff like toiletries, before leaving.

She wasn't in the mood for getting any rest.

That was what the past 6 days of travel were for after all.

Instead, Mira headed over to the drop station, on the outskirts of the main base.

This was where the majority of Awakened on this station were located at the moment, as there was a constant influx of Soldiers, mercenaries and now students alike, all coming and going.

It was here where every soldier would be transported to their assigned battlefield in batches.

Speaking of the battlefields, there were four main battlefields in the system, one for each planet, with hundreds of other minor conflicts littered across the planets.

These were the four habitable planets out of the twelve total in the entire Telorn system.

The first of the four planets was Eldaris, a lush world covered in dense, ancient forests that stretched across the whole planet.

Unlike Earth, where there were completely different ecosystems depending on where one looked, Eldaris was comprised of that one, huge forest.

Instead of oceans, there were millions of lakes up to 10 kilometres across scattered throughout the whole planet.

Overall, it consisted of about 90% landmass, and 10% lakes.

The lush jungle like environments everywhere one looked, as well as the fact this planet was one of the few untouched by Human civilisation yet, allowed for quite some unique battles to take place.

Rather than the brutal open ended battles that took place out in the open like in most other places in this war, Eldaris's environment allowed for a more tactical, methodical approach.

The forest provided great cover, and allowed for both sides to take a more Predator vs prey approach.

In that environment, it was more like a hunting ground more than an actual war.

The second planet was Gorath, a much more harsh desert planet where the sun beat down relentlessly, baking the sand dunes that stretched across the horizon.

The climate on Gorath was unforgiving, but it was also rich in valuable minerals that both sides desperately needed, like fuel for their ships etc.

On one side of the planet, the Red Demons had dug deep into the sands, creating fortified underground bunkers to protect their mining operations.

The human forces, who had only arrived a few days after the Red Demons had taken over this system, lacked the same infrastructure and were on the losing side on this particular battlefield.

The Federation were hoping that the Prodigies from Capital Prime and the other universities could change this.

The third planet was Aetheria, a world of towering mountains and deep, winding valleys.

This was the one planet where the war largely took place in the sky rather than the ground, as the rocky and mountainous environment didn't provide an advantage to either side,

It was only in the valleys where the ground assaults took place on each other, but due to how widely mapped the geography of the planet was, it was easy for both sides to predict when there might be an attack, ambush etc.

Finally, there was Nerathis, a planet covered in vast oceans, much like Earth with around a 70% ocean and 30% land coverage.

It was also the most similar to Earth climate wise as well.

If it weren't for the fact that the land was almost all connected into one supercontinent, as well as the fact that it was around 2x the size of Earth, one might even mistake it as a second Earth.

Mira's destination was Eldaris, the planet that was mostly lush green forests.

She was actually quite happy with her assigned planet, which was quite the contrary to others who had also been assigned to Eldaris.

'Fuuuuck…'

'Why did it have to be this one… I'm going to die in this war…'

'Not this shitty place again!'

The other soldiers and students who had been assigned to Eldaris were all downtrodden, save for the 9 other prodigies assigned to it, who all had the same reaction as Mira.

This was because of one fact…

Eldaris happened to be the only planet in the system where a Floodgate had opened…

So not only did they have to worry about fighting back against the Red Demons, but also any beasts that came through from the Primordial Expanse and decided that they wanted to make a meal out of anything and anyone they saw.

The only upside was the these beasts didn't discriminate, so the Red Demons would also be under the same pressure.

But the fact that this Floodgate happened to be a B- rank Floodgate only made everyone much more stressful.

The B- ranked higher life forms of both sides had to stay stationed near this floodgate at nearly all times.

But the situation was tricky.

The couldn't show themselves if it was an emergency, like a B tier beast coming through the floodgate, as if either one of them decides to even show a wisp of their existence, the other wouldn't hesitate to ambush them in attempt to take them out.

This meant that everything below B- rank that came out the Floodgate was fair game.

The lower ranked soldiers and students would have to worry about those.

The air buzzed with tension at the drop point as Mira waited to be loaded into the drop ship with 99 other soldiers and students.

'The beasts will probably be much more of a problem compared to the Red Demons, as they are practically at home in a natural forest environment like the one on Eldaris, but that's no problem for me…' Mira mused.

Her time finally came and she boarded the shuttle, walking over to one of the 100 individual pods.
