The Black Market

Chapter 2

"Major General sir!"

Cale turned around to looked at Colonel Sanders who called him and he saw the man hastily running towards his direction. He smiled at him which sent s.h.i.+vers down his spine. The t.i.tle and the aura of this middle aged major general was truly too great for the likes of him. Such a man was even feared by their unknown enemy.

He stopped right in front of Cale and saluted him "Sir, the grand commander tasked me to follow you on saving Major Murphey. And I will also tell you all the informations Major Murphey sent to us before we lost connections with him." He said while avoiding to look at the smiling face of Cale fearfully. His knees were going weak at the invisible pressure produced by the man in front of him. Although he had no superhuman strength, but the man can kill him in a blink of an eye even if he was unarmed.

"Good! Call the Phantom Wolf Squad members and tell them that we have another mission to accomplish. Also, I want a detailed copy of all the informations provided by Major Murphey and his squad. I will give you until tomorrow to do all this. As for the Phantom Wolf Squad, I want them all ready in the open field 0800 hours tomorrow." Cale"s cold voice was like a p.r.i.c.kling needle in Colonel Sander"s ears.

He shook off his fears and answered in a loud voice while saluting Cale "Sir yes sir!"

Cale smirked at him and walked away, but Colonel Sanders maintained his position and only put down his hand when he can no longer see the silhouette of Cale. He sighed in relief and felt that he was sweating crazily just by talking with that guy.

Nevertheless, he looked for the Phantom Wolf Squad and his feet suddenly turned cold at the mere thought of that squad. This squad was a group of elite individuals personally handpicked by Cale himself. It only has eight members in total and that will be nine if Cale was included. This small team might be low in numbers, but they were famous for having accomplished the "Operation Meltdown". The main goal of that operation was to kill all the members of the unknown group in one of their base. The enemies numbered in hundreds, but they were all killed by the squad which was personally led by Cale himself. Although that was only one of the many small camps of the enemies, but the fact that they were able to kill the several hundred elite soldiers of that unknown group sent s.h.i.+vers to the whole Earth Alliance. Despite the lack of fighter robots on that base camp, but they still had a more advanced weaponry. The Phantom Wolf Squad being able to kill those elite enemy soldiers with futuristic weapons was truly a magnificent feat.

"s.h.i.+t! Would those little dragons even listen to any word I say?" Colonel Sanders thought worriedly as he looked for the Phantom Wolf Squad.

After more than thirty minutes of walking and asking around, he learned that they were training on an underground training room. He hastily went to the location as he was very afraid of failing to accomplish the task given by Major General Cale Sylvann.

He arrived at the entrance of the training room but the gigantic door was locked, and without the authority of the people inside, then all he can do was wait for them fo finish their training.

He waited outside for several hours but there was no hint of them going out. Colonel Sanders heart beat erratically and he can already surmise what will be his fate tomorrow.

After waiting for another three hours, the room finally opened and a tall and hulking man holding a gigantic Z-Steel s.h.i.+eld with his left hand went out of the room.

Z-Steel was also discovered by Phantom Wolf Squad in that very same enemy base camp they conquered. Humanity also found out in glee that the Z-Steel was capable of deflecting the laser guns of their enemies. The Earth Alliance quickly extracted the Z-Steel from that base camp and made several weapons from them.

This gigantic two meter tall s.h.i.+eld was a personal request from the hulking man in front of him. As thanks for their squad, the Alliance approved his request and made this one ton s.h.i.+eld. And in the entire Alliance, only this man was capable of lifting it. This man goes by the name Baron, he was also a major and was famously known as the Earth"s strongest man.

Baron as strong as he was, still suffered greatly at the hands of Major General Cale. He defeated him within three minutes in hand to hand combat. And he also defeated Baron in less than a minute in shooting skills. But this did not stop Colonel Sanders from looking at the man fearfully. In the entire Alliance, only Major General Cale was capable of making this man submit wholeheartedly.

He cleared his already dried throat to get Major Baron"s attention and called him in a trembling voice "Major Baron, I was tasked by Major General Cale to call your squad. He said that he has a new mission for you guys to accomplish and he wants all the squad members 0800 hours tomorrow."

The hulking Major Baron glanced at the tiny Colonel Sanders briefly before turning around. His deep voice then traveled his ears "Understood!"

Colonel Sanders knees grew weak and he trembled in fear. "He was only one of their members and he was not even the strongest in overall capabilities. There was still that terrifying a.s.sa.s.sin Saber and that deadly sniper Uriel. If I will not die from this mission then just being with these monstrous people is enough to drive me crazy" he thought nervously.

Inside the training room, Major Baron informed his squad members about what Colonel Sanders told him.

"Good! My hands have been itching for battle for quite some time. Now with this sudden call from Major General Cale, it only means that there will be another dangerous mission for us." A middle age man holding a futuristic sniper said in excitement.

"Will that Sanders guy go with us in that mission? If so, then he might only slow us down." said another middle age man while cleaning a Z-Steel sword in his hands with a clean white cloth.

"Dont underestimate Sanders, he might appear cowardly and weak, but his strategic ability is even better than Major General Cale himself. He is also skilled in dual wielding pistols and his rifle skills is also top notch. As one of the students trained by the grand commander, he can never be as weak as he seems to be." said a man who was fully covered in black clothes as he was casually playing with a deadly looking knife.

The rest of the members just sat in silence and pondered about what kind of mission they will be tasked tomorrow.
