I Received System to Become Dragonborn-Chapter 41 The Trouble Arrived

The black car came to the parking lot. Above, the sound of helicopters starting to fly low was heard.

The helicopter landed on a helipad not far from the car parking lot. From a car came out three people in black clothes with flat faces.

Such expressions seem to have become their daily expressions. Like the masks they wear and can no longer be removed because it has become a part of themselves.

From the helipad came out seven people who were also wearing black clothes. They saw the three people and greeted each other.

"What have you been doing lately?" A man with a military haircut and tall build asked them.

"The usual thing," Steve replied.

Yes, the three people who just got out of the car were Steve, John, and Anna. Of course, that's not their real name.

Meanwhile, those who got out of the helicopter were also members of their unit. The man with military hair was one of the members with high-ranking. He could be said to be the biggest decision maker after their main superior.

"This is your doing?" The man made a gesture pointing at the building in front of them. If they were summoned to this building located in the middle of nowhere, there must be some kind of secret task that they had to do.

A secret task, if you don't want to call it a dirty task. The man at least knew what news was resonating in the Republic of late.

And that situation was like something their unit would do. The three were ordered to come by the two top military officers of the Republic of Ascaria. The man already knew that the three of them had done it.

"Yes," Steve replied casually as if it was just something that happened every day.

The man nodded his head. "Come in."

Steve nodded briefly and the two of them walked into the building.

The building is a five-story building that also has a basement. From distance,t looks like an ordinary building. With plain white paint that is not too showy.

If the building is located in the middle of the city, people will only see it as a house or apartment. But the building is not located in the center of the city but the middle of an arid desert. Its location is also hidden from satellite monitoring.

The total number of those black-clothed people was ten. But they are not all. Some members are still not present. 𝐟𝚛e𝐞𝙬𝗲𝒃𝓷𝒐𝘃e𝒍.c𝑜m

As soon as they entered the building, the men took the elevator straight to the basement.

Once arrive at the basement they went straight to a room that they usually use.

Inside the room, there was LTC. Ibis, LTC. Coil and the woman with glasses with disheveled hair waiting. That disheveled appearance somehow doesn't take away her beauty.

"Welcome back, Cemetery Wind." LTC. Ibis greeted them all with a smile.

The special unit "Cemetery Wind" was their unit name.

LTC. Ibis greeted them with a smile but that wasn't something that happened often. Usually when they are called only seriousness fills the room. The people frowned in surprise. But they didn't say anything loudly and just sat on the chairs.

"Looks like the Lieutenant Colonel is happy," Anna whispered to John.

"Of course. We got the artifact. He must have found a way to use it," John replied.

"Thanks for coming. We're about to start the briefing on the new operation we're going to do." LTC. Ibis started. "Operation Aquarius."

The attack turned out to last until the night. From outside their bedroom window Erend, Billy, and Lt. Boartusk could still hear the roar of battle.

"They have great spirit," Billy commented.

The Daemon of Calamity--the attacking party--didn't stop attacking even though all they got from earlier was only increased casualties from their side. It made the three humans who had previously been in battle feel a little bit of sympathy.

"I don't know what their goal is. Are they just attacking with the hope that the Magical shield protecting the palace will be broken?" Erend couldn't help but think about their motivations.

All those attacks looked useless but they continued to do it. Making Erend doubt their intelligence.

Lt. Boartusk lay on his bed staring at the ceiling. His face looks stiff. Erend and Billy decided not to bother him because they understood that Lt. Boartusk was affected by the sounds of battle outside.

Billy and Erend then try to sleep. But they could only get a little time to sleep because Aerchon opened the door with a loud bang.

"WAKE UP!" Aerchon shouted.

Erend got up with an angry face and was ready to hit Aerchon before he saw Aurdis standing next to Aerchon with a worried look on her face. 𝙛𝑟𝑒e𝘸𝑒𝗯𝘯𝗼𝘃el.𝒄𝒐m

"What happened?" Erend asked. He knew it wasn't a good thing.

Billy and Lt. Boartusk were also up and listening.

"The portal to the Fountain of Eternity has been opened," Aurdis said.

"What?" Erend frowned.

"The portal has been opened and something has entered the Eternal Garden. The humans must have found a way to open the Portal," Aerchon said angrily. "If they reach the Fountain of Eternity, it will all be over!"

Erend, Billy, and Lt. Boartusk looked at each other.

"How could they open a Portal to this world?" Billy was confused.

"That doesn't matter now," Aerchon replied. "Now you have to go there to stop them."

Aerchon looked at the three of them in turn.

"You're not going to help?" Billy asked.

"Of course, I will help. I will not leave the fate of our most precious treasure to you alone," Aerchon said. The tone he used to say it irritated the three of them.

"From the start, it was your fault so you guys should go to stop them. But I'll go with the soldiers too because I don't have confidence in your abilities." Aerchon added.

"It's not our fucking fault!" Erend shouted angrily. "We're always the victims! You-"

"Stop it, Drake!" Lt. Boartusk said. "No time for that."

Erend swallowed his anger then turned his face away from Aerchon.

They set out when the sun still hadn't risen into the Eternal Garden. Fifty-three Unicorns run through the dark road.
