D-day 483
Yemen, near the Saudi Arabia border.
In the vast wasteland located near the border between the two Middle East nations, one could see countless sandy and rocky hills. A convoy of ten vehicles was driving fast through the road.
The convoy was the one Theo and the others were using, as they headed towards one of Doomsday Pillars located in the Saudi Arabia territory.
However, as the convoy crossed the border and went into the Saudi Arabia, Daisy, who was in a vehicle with Melissa and Rick, suddenly felt lifeforms closing in on them, hundreds of them. Feeling the hundreds of possible hostiles, she quickly called upon Theo, who was in the vehicle in front of the convoy, but for some reason her call was not being picked up.
Seeing Daisy who seemed in a hurry, Melissa asked, "What happened, Daisy? Is something wrong?"
"That's right. Be careful, guys. I don't feel good about this situation." Daisy replied, as she nodded her head.
Tapping the driver's shoulder, Daisy shouted, "Rush to the front and catch up to the general's vehicle! I need to reach him!"
Shaking his head, the driver said, "I'm sorry, mam. But I can't do that. Let's just wait for the order from the general."
Daisy was stunned when she heard the driver's reply. Melissa, on the other hand, rebuked the driver. "What do you mean you can't? This is an emergency situation!"
"I'm sorry, but I truly cannot do so without an order from the general."
However, before Melissa could yell the driver even more, a voice speaking Arabic came over the radio and suddenly, the whole convoy stopped at once. Because of the abrupt stop, all of them almost knocked their heads.
Seeing the whole convoy stopped, Daisy said, "What happened? Why are we stopping? We need to keep moving and get out of here! I can sense hundreds of people are approaching our location!"
Daisy kept urging the driver to start the vehicle again and drive towards the general's vehicle in front. But unexpectedly, the driver quickly took a handgun from his waist and pointed it at Daisy.
"!!!"
BANG! BANG! BANG!
Consecutives gunshot reverberated inside the vehicle, as the soldier silently fired his gun at Daisy who was sitting behind. However, when the soldier thought he had managed to kill his target, Rick fortunately managed to move at the last second and block the bullets using his body. Gritting his teeth as the bullets hit him, Rick immediately took out a knife from his belt and stabbed it into the soldier's neck. The soldier died with disbelief on his face.
Seeing Rick was shot at close range and blocked the bullets, Daisy immediately pulled his body and checked him. Looking at the anxious Daisy, Rick said, "I'm fine, Daisy. I'm wearing the artifact vest, don't worry about me. Quickly go ahead and warn the others."
Nodding her head, Daisy immediately opened the vehicle door and stepped out. But, just when Daisy got out of the vehicle, she was immediately greeted by a loud explosion, followed by dust flying towards her.
KABOOM!!!
Apparently, one of the vehicles on the front was blown by a missile and being thrown from the side of the road.
"We are under attack!!" somebody shouted.
Daisy quickly saw the situation had turned chaotic. There seemed to be a fight in each of the vehicles, seeing only them and a few others managed to get out of the vehicles. It appeared the Yemen soldiers betrayed them, as they led their group into a trap.
Rick and Melissa quickly got out of the vehicle. But before they could act, a loud buzzing sound was heard and grew louder. As soon as the trio heard that, they immediately knew what it was. It was a sound of something dangerous flying towards them.
KABOOM!!!
A missile flew through the air causing the explosion of the vehicle, Daisy and the others just got out from. Smoke appeared and dust scattered into the air, obstructing the vision. When the smoke dissipated, the car was unexpectedly intact protected by a bluish round barrier.
The bluish barrier was the result of a spell Daisy casted: [Halo], a tier 3 light spell that could create a dome able to block several attacks.
After the second explosion, dozens of people wearing civilian clothes were seen coming out of the hills around the road and dashing towards them. Daisy could clearly see there were a myriad of different kinds of firearms in their hands.
Tra.Ta.Ta.Ta.Ta Tra.Ta.Ta.Ta.Ta
"Insurgents?!"
A rain of bullets immediately fired towards the location where Daisy and the others were. The barrier stood strong as it received the bullets, however Daisy knew sooner or later the barrier would disappear. If they still couldn't find a way by then, they would definitely be wounded by the dense rain of bullets, or worse die.
Seeing the barrier could still do the job, Daisy quickly used another spirit spell, [Spirit Bird]. After the chant was finished, a ball of energy appeared in front of her and quickly molded itself into a bird. The spirit bird immediately flew upwards into the sky and began to scout their surroundings.
A moment later, the dozen sky realm fighters start coming out from the vehicles and start returning fire at the insurgents at the top of the hills.
At the same time, blazing flames suddenly rose at the back of the convoy where Rama was supposed to be. It looked like Rama had started capturing and gathering the Yemen soldiers in the back.
Meanwhile, at the front of the convoy where Theo was, Daisy could see that another missile was heading there. When she tried to cast a spell to stop the missile, Daisy spotted an object flying towards the approaching missile.
BOOM!
The missile immediately exploded in the air when the object hit and went through it. That object was obviously the sword formation Theo owned. From behind the smoke, 5 short swords flew towards the one who fired the missile and instantly finished it off.
Seeing the overall situation from the bird's eye view and the almost dissipated barrier, Daisy immediately beckoned to others, especially Rick and Melissa to follow her. She then swiftly ran, ducked, rolled, jumped and took cover between the vehicle, as she moved towards the front of the convoy.
When she reached the front, Daisy saw Theo squatting down beside the general, who was lying on the ground, while using his spell [Light Heal] on the general's wounds. Not far from their position, Daisy noticed Ardeth swiftly running and yanking out the fighters from the exploding vehicles.
Seeing the wounded general, Daisy approached Theo and asked, "What happened to him?"
"His own soldiers shot him. It appears the enemy has infiltrated the Yemen soldiers."
After making sure General Naseer's condition was stabilized, Theo immediately asked Daisy about their current situation: the number of hostiles and friendlies as well as their location. Closing her eyes and connecting her vision with the spirit bird, Daisy quickly processed the information and reported it to Theo.
"There are about a hundred people shooting at us in the west, but they are currently in chaos because of your flying swords. However, there are several hundred more coming our way and will be here in around 5 minutes."
Theo's expression changed when he heard that. "Several hundred people? Civilians?"
"No, looking at their aura, they are mostly Earth realm fighters with a dozen of Sky realm ones."
Ardeth, who had finally managed to rescue all the fighters from the blown cars, heard Daisy's words and said, "We can't stay here, Theo. I suggest we retreat and regroup somewhere safe. We currently don't know the enemy enough and already entered their trap, plus I assume the information we got from Yemen about them is likely to be wrong. If we stay here, we will be surrounded and die in vain."
Rama who was in the back also came over to them along with the others, bringing more bad news. "We have two fighters badly injured here."
Theo immediately asked Melissa to quickly find a place to place for those who were injured. Thinking for a while, Theo said, "It's not safe anywhere. We don't know who to trust and we are in enemy territory."
Daisy, who was still scouting the area, suddenly said, "There's a place! There is a Doomsday Pillar 50 kilometers east of our location. We can bring them all there."
"Excellent job, Daisy. Alright, let's go there."
They quickly jumped back into the vehicles and immediately headed for the Doomsday Pillar before the enemy's reinforcement could reach them.
