Chapter 143: Cover and Precision
Explosions shook the ground as smoke covered the entire western corridor. The gunfire was loud and constant. The air smelled of burning metal. Kai ran forward through the haze and grabbed Riven by the vest, pulling him away from the open field before the next burst of bullets struck the wall where he had been standing.“Get down!” Kai shouted.Riven struggled against his grip. “Let me go! I had them!”Kai pushed him behind a crate and pointed at the field. “You were about to die. You exposed the entire squad!”Riven glared back, his face red with anger. “You don’t command me.”Kai ignored him and turned his focus to the battle outside. The System’s holographic overlay appeared in his vision, marking moving red outlines through the smoke.System Scan: Hostile units – 21. Drone activity – active. Probability of secondary ambush: 62%.He spoke quickly over the comms. “Halen, keep your squad low. Vera, get med support ready. Lyle, reload and cover the east wall. Enemy drones are moving in
Chapter 142: First Blood
The harsh sound of explosions sounded throughout Vanguard Base. The walls shook and dust fell from the ceiling. Red emergency lights blinked through the corridors. Kai’s squad stood frozen for a few seconds as the shock of real war hit them.“Outer wall breached!” someone shouted through the comms. “Mercenaries in sector nine!”Lyle turned to Kai, his face pale. “This isn’t another drill, is it?”Kai didn’t answer. The System’s voice filled his mind clearly.System Alert: Hostile units detected… estimated count: 42. Tactical map updated. Probability of secondary breach: 76%.Kai lifted his weapon and spoke in a calm, commanding tone. “Positions, everyone. Halen, stay low and cover the corridor’s entrance. Lyle, you’re on the second angle, focus on suppressing fire. Vera, keep the right flank clear.”Vera’s voice shook. “There are too many of them. We can’t hold against live rounds.”Kai looked at her directly. “Then we fight smart, not loud. Follow my commands exactly.”The squad scra
Chapter 141: Breach Warning
“Attention! Unauthorized movement near the perimeter!” The alarm rang through every corridor, and the red lights started flashing. Recruits scrambled in confusion, their training gear half fastened.“It’s another drill,” one of them said, laughing nervously.But Kai’s eyes locked onto the System display in his vision.System Alert: Hostile Signatures Detected: Real Combat Engagement. Estimated force count: 27. Weapon calibration: live.Kai’s tone cut through the noise. “Those aren’t simulations. The System confirms real signatures.”A hush spread for a brief second before chaos resumed.Riven muttered from across the hall, “You’re bluffing again, academy boy.”Kai turned to him with a calm expression. “You can check the radar log yourself.”Before Riven could reply, Commander Draegon entered the hall with three officers behind him. “All recruits, formation! This is not a drill.”Lyle swallowed hard. “Wait, seriously? Real mercs? Here?”“Quiet!” Draegon barked. “Perimeter Squad Alpha w
Chapter 140: The Weight of Command
The morning meeting room at Vanguard Base was silent as Commander Draegon stood before the gathered recruits. The walls displayed tactical maps from the System hub. Kai stood in the front row. His posture was straight and his hands were behind his back.Commander Draegon turned to him. “Cadet Kai, your performance in combat has been noted. Today, you will handle something different.”Kai replied, “Yes, Commander.”“You will oversee partial control of the supply logistics,” Draegon said. “You’ll work with the quartermasters to coordinate foods and prevent waste. You’ll have forty-eight hours to prove efficiency.”Lyle Craven let out a loud laugh from the side of the room. “Here we go again… pen and ink hero. Guess fighting isn’t his thing after all.”The room filled with low chuckles. Kai didn’t react.Commander Draegon’s voice cut through the noise. “Quiet. This assignment measures intelligence and not his muscles. Let’s see who can actually think.”The room fell silent again.After t
Chapter 139: Duel of Blades
The training arena was filled again that morning. Recruits line up on the rails. They kept talking among themselves as the sound of metal clashing against each other echoed from the preparation area. Everyone knew what was coming. Riven Korr walked into the arena first. His presence drew immediate attention. He carried twin sabers strapped across his back. Their polished edges caught the morning light. Every recruit knew what that meant. Riven was serious. Twin-saber combat was his specialty. That was the same technique that had crushed several opponents in the Eastern Vanguard Division.Kai entered next. He was as calm as always. His armor was clean and tightly fastened. His eyes were steady. The System interface was already active in his mind, “System Notification: Opponent identified, Riven Korr. Weapon type, dual plasma sabers. Estimated strike frequency: 1.2 seconds. Counter-strategy compiling.”From the sidelines, a few recruits shouted mockingly.“Scholar-boy will get carved t
Chapter 138: Sabotage in the Dark
Kai woke up before dawn. The barracks are still filled with the soft sound of the ventilation system. His body was sore from the last exercise, but the System’s nightly recovery bonus made the fatigue bearable for him. He stood up, stretched his arms and then began his routine for the day. As his fingers brushed over the straps of his combat armor, he noticed something very strange. The straps had been loosened.“System Warning: Equipment integrity compromised. Potential sabotage detected.”Kai stared at the damaged straps. Someone had done this intentionally. His mind immediately traced the possible culprits… Riven’s group. They had mocked him openly since the Fireline Clash. It was no surprise they would resort to tricks now.“Suggest immediate fixture. You have only 7 minutes to fix it”Kai knelt and began fixing the armor. His hands moved quickly, guided by the System’s projected sequence on his vision. He worked silently, ignoring the faint sound of laughter from the bunks behi
