Chapter 185: Chapter 184: Seeing people of another race 8

"I see, then it seems that they were really stronger than the others, as expected of leaders."

"Yes, those two leaders are twice or thrice stronger than the people around them."

Ryzel nodded in acknowledgment and then asked, "Are we going to continue exploring this planet slowly?"

"We had already seen the people who were part of the group we saw in the forest area. Let’s go around this planet as fast as we can and then explore back slowly.

Let’s check if there are any more people on this planet, and if there are none, then we will explore slowly back to the forest where the people we saw are living."

"Okay, then let’s go."

"Storm, go up and increase your speed four times. Keep monitoring and capturing the scenes that we will pass by," Layton ordered.

After Layton’s order, Storm immediately increased its speed. Ryzel and Layton also stopped talking as they paid attention to the screen showing the scenes that they were passing by, as well as the different indicators of what Storm was detecting outside. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

With how fast Storm was traveling, the scenes below were also passing by very fast.

Ryzel couldn’t see anything until Layton controlled one of the screens to show it three times slower than it originally was, while keeping another screen at its original speed.

He couldn’t see anything at the original speed, but Layton could surely see it as it was and had no need to slow it down.

Ryzel also knew that it was important for Layton to keep looking at the screen showing what it originally was so that he and Storm could properly respond if anything happened.

Layton only slowed it down for him, so Ryzel didn’t say anything and just continued watching the scenery in the slowed-down version and didn’t care about the original version that was playing on Layton’s side, as he couldn’t see anything there properly.

They were traveling very fast, but with the slow version, Ryzel could finally see the scenery outside.

Storm had also gone up so they could see more things outside clearly.

With their speed, they had easily passed by the forest area where they had just been and were on the plains again.

After passing through the vast plains again, they encountered a wide lake, and afterwards, it still continued to be vast plains before they encountered another vast mountain range.

The mountain range that they passed by was even bigger than the mountain range that they had been staying at in the beginning.

After the mountain range, they finally saw a vast sea. Before continuing to travel through the vast sea, they stopped above the beach area because they saw temporary dwellings in the forest near the shoreline and they had detected a few living people.

"This place seems to be the place where the people we met had been," Ryzel said while looking at the area below them.

"There are still some traces of battle here, so this place should indeed be the place that they had mentioned."

With what Layton mentioned, Ryzel also observed more closely and indeed saw that a lot of things were still strewn on the shore and a lot of trees and plants were still obviously damaged along the shoreline.

"They had mentioned that they fought some sea creatures that wanted to go inland. What do you think about those sea creatures? It seems that they’re rather violent and strong too, as it seems that they had managed to injure a lot of people, including one of the leaders of those people who had come out for their mission."

"Those sea creatures that they mentioned should be a bit powerful, as they said. And looking at the shoreline here, most of those sea creatures are surely big, as it seems that they could easily damage the area just by walking around," Layton said while looking at the mess around the shoreline.

Ryzel looked more and indeed saw how disturbed the sands were, as they had deep pits all around which seemed to be from those sea creatures, as they started from the sea going up.

A lot of the trees and plants near the shore were also obviously trampled, and even though the plants were already recovering, traces of being trampled could still be seen.

And according to the traces left, it really seemed that the sea creatures that the residents were talking about were mostly big.

Ryzel didn’t say anything further as they saw someone leaving his house and going to another house.

After a while, they got out again and went to another house.

Storm was already monitoring their conversation and projecting it to them.

So, Ryzel and Layton understood that the first old man was calling the others for a meeting, which is why they were entering those houses.

When they gathered in an open space in front of most of the houses, Ryzel finally saw all their appearances.

All those that got out of the houses were actually all elderly, without any young people with them.

However, even though they were all old people, it was still obvious that they were still strong—and stronger than most of the old people that they had seen in the forest dwelling they had observed before.

And when they were having their meeting, they heard them arranging tasks for everyone who wanted to do them.

"They had said before that those sea creatures had always wanted to go inland. Is it really okay to just leave some old people here?" Ryzel said while looking at the old people below.

"They are probably the volunteers, and probably only old people were allowed to volunteer for staying in this area, which is clearly very dangerous. Those old men seem to be only watchers in this area and are probably only responsible for sending a message about the sea creatures’ attacks.

But the attacks probably aren’t frequent; that’s why they only left volunteers in this area.

And according to the population of the people that we have seen, it’s the most cost-effective to ask stronger old men to volunteer to watch this area."

From what they had seen, the number of people was really small and the area they were guarding was very large, as they even had to watch the sea creatures in a place that was very far from them.

If they had to send young men or other more capable people to guard an area that was very far from them, then it would mean that they would probably lack enough people to do other things.

And just as Layton had worded, for such a number of people, it was indeed the best thing that they could do.

They couldn’t just let young people who still had a lot of future go somewhere dangerous and waste their youth guarding the place, which would only be attacked after a very long time.

They also couldn’t waste their lives if something bad really happened without even being able to do anything, so the best thing they could do was indeed to let those old people guard the place.

Ryzel still felt a bit uncomfortable looking at them but didn’t say anything anymore, as it was also probably their choice.

He also didn’t say anything anymore because he also thought of all the people in the federation.

In fact, they don’t even have a lot of old people, especially sentinels and guides, because most of them had also already sacrificed themselves in fighting the zergs.

They had been continuously fighting zergs for many years already, so not a lot of old people remain.

He had also heard from Lyre before that some older soldiers who were still in the military were the ones who often volunteered for suicide missions or did those that were very dangerous and could cause a lot of damage.

However, he had also heard that they just wanted to contribute more, and if they really didn’t return alive, then that’s just the way it is—at least they managed to save or contribute something.

The old men who were having a meeting were also probably the same as those old men who were volunteering for the federation.

So, Ryzel didn’t say anything anymore and just listened to what they were talking about.

After eavesdropping for a while, they learned that those old men were discussing how to fix the things around the trees and the plants near the shore.

After they listened to the old men for a while, they didn’t linger anymore and continued traveling to cross the sea that they were seeing.

But before they continued traveling, Layton asked Storm to also keep an eye on the sea creatures, especially looking over those that were really big, as they might be the ones that had attacked those at the shores before because they wanted to go inland.

The sea area was also very wide, as it took them 10 minutes of continuing travel before they finally saw another land.
