Chapter 233
Claire Arden was standing at the center of the room. She was leaning over a large wooden table.A giant paper map of the United States was spread out across the wood. A cold cup of black coffee sat next to her hand.Claire looked incredibly tired. There were dark purple bags under her beautiful eyes. Her dark hair was messy and covered in gray concrete dust. But her eyes burned with a fierce, unbreakable fire.Landon walked up to the table and stood beside her.Claire didn't look up at him. She just picked up a thick red marker and drew a massive, bold red X directly over the city of Milwaukee."We are done playing defense," Claire announced to the quiet room. Her voice was pure steel.Sera and Jin stopped typing on their computers. They turned their chairs around to listen. Kade put his rifle down and walked over to the table. Juno stood next to Landon."What do you mean, Claire?" Kade asked.Claire looked up and made eye contact with every single person in the room."For months, we

The dark sky was completely filled with thick, white snowflakes. The snow fell softly, covering the ruined city in a peaceful white blanket. But the city was not peaceful. It was a war zone.Landon Hale walked slowly down the middle of the icy street. His heavy black combat boots crunched loudly in the deep snow. Crunch. Crunch. Crunch.He looked around at the incredible damage. The battle against the Iron Order had left terrible scars on the city. Huge craters were blown into the concrete roads. Burned-out cars sat smoking in the dark alleys. The massive, pitch-black metal Siege Towers that General Rauth had dropped from the sky were still standing, but they were completely dead. Their evil red lights were turned off. The heavy, suffocating gravity was finally gone.The people of Milwaukee were free.Landon walked past a ruined grocery store. The large glass windows were entirely shattered. Inside, he saw a group of local militia fighters. They were shivering in their winter coat

Landon did not stop moving. He grabbed the broken silver arm and used the monster's own heavy momentum to swing it around in a circle.Landon forcefully threw the broken lieutenant directly into the path of the third charging monster.The two giant silver robots crashed violently into each other. CLANG!They fell together into a messy, tangled pile of heavy metal and snow.Landon walked calmly toward the tangled pile. He took a deep breath, keeping his mental wall incredibly strong. He could hear the monster in the lake groaning in its sleep, but he refused to let it pull him under.The third lieutenant furiously pushed his broken partner off of him. He scrambled up to his feet, raising his glowing blue sword for one final, desperate attack."You are just a man!" the silver monster screamed."And you are just a broken toy," Landon replied coldly.The monster swung the humming blue sword in a massive, horizontal arc, trying to cut Landon's head completely off.Landon dropped to his kn

Sera was hiding in a dark basement two blocks away. Her fingers flew across her laptop keyboard. She didn't have to guess the passwords. Through the magic link, she could feel the exact timing of the enemy's computers.Click.Four heavy, automated machine gun turrets that the Iron Order had set up in the street suddenly spun around.Instead of aiming at the dark alleys, the turrets aimed directly at the Iron Order soldiers.RAT-TAT-TAT-TAT!The heavy guns fired rapidly into the black-armored crowds. The soldiers screamed and scattered, completely disoriented. Their own weapons were shooting at them."How are they doing this?!" the enemy captain yelled in horror. "They know everything we are doing!"The Iron Order soldiers were trained to fight normal humans. They were trained to shoot at noise and movement. But the Vanguard team made no noise. They did not speak on radios. They moved perfectly through the snowy shadows.Landon and Claire stepped out of their dark alleyway.They walk
Chapter 229
The freezing snow fell heavily over the dark, ruined city of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. It was the middle of the night. The city was completely silent. But it was not a peaceful silence. It was the tense, terrifying silence of a rubber band pulled back as far as it could go, just waiting to snap.Landon Hale stood in the dark shadows of a snowy alleyway. He looked down at his large, strong hands. He was wearing thick, black leather gloves. The cold winter wind bit at his cheeks, but he hardly felt it. He was listening to a sound that no one else in the world could hear.Deep inside his mind, echoing from the dark, icy waters of Lake Michigan miles away, he heard the terrible heartbeat.Wub...... Wub...... Wub......It was the Deep One. The ancient, impossible monster sleeping beneath the earth. It was waiting for Landon to use his magic. It was hungry for his power."Landon," a soft voice whispered next to him.Landon blinked and turned his head. Claire Arden stood right beside him in th
Chapter 228
Landon stared at the floor. He could still hear the faint ghost of the heartbeat in his ears. Wub... wub..."And I just connected my brain directly to one of them," Landon said grimly."Yes," Priya agreed sadly. "Your War Resonance is designed to link minds together. When the Hunter's dark magic pushed your signal into the earth, your magic accidentally linked with the sleeping mind of the Deep One under Lake Michigan."Claire crossed her arms tightly over her chest. She paced back and forth across the cold concrete floor, her brilliant tactical mind racing with this terrifying new information."So," Claire said slowly, trying to process the nightmare. "The war between us and General Rauth is causing so much magical vibration that we are accidentally waking up an ancient monster. If it wakes up completely... what happens?"Priya looked back at the computer screen. "If a Deep One fully awakens... it will cause a catastrophic geological event. It will shatter the tectonic plates under
