Flashy Adventurer System : Show Off to Get Stronger! - Chapter 798

Chapter 798: Hale Eversong, Tricked!
The battle across all four city gates was broadcast live inside the city for the peace and preparation of the people.

Naturally, their hearts gradually found peace as they saw their defenders decisively winning, cutting down waves of massive monsters with minimal losses.

At this rate, it would only be a matter of time before the horde retreats.

The ferocious attacks of the horde leaders occasionally made the citizens’ hearts race, but after repeatedly witnessing how effortlessly the heroes countered their terrifying attacks, the citizens finally felt safe.

In the end, some even dared to enjoy the broadcast, grabbing snacks and watching as if it were nothing more than a movie.

It was then that terrifying explosions erupted across various establishments in the city, quickly followed by red smoke enveloping a significant portion of the commercial area.

In the next moment, numerous footsteps echoed from various directions, converging on eleven locations: the Hawkin Mansion and the ten secret entrances.

“Commander Maverick, my strike force is attacking their designated entrances as planned.” Another Hadean Varsa Commander named Hakkin spoke through the organization channels, allowing all involved commanders to hear his strike force’s status.

“Copy, Commander Hakkin.” Maverick acknowledged. “Commander Alicia, what’s the status of your strike force?”

“Reporting, Strike Force Two is currently approaching the Hawkin Mansion. In a few more minutes, we’ll engage the Hawkin Guards.”

“Copy, make sure to stick to the plan. Where’s Alpha One and his squadron?”

“Reporting, Alpha One’s squadron is now on standby in secret establishment thirty-three, ready to reinforce Commander Hakkin’s Strike Force One and my Strike Force Two at a moment’s notice.”

“Copy. Since the conditions have been met, my main force shall proceed in attacking the WAA Headquarters.”

Maverick, over the past few years, has diligently studied formations and military tactics, earning him a place as one of the most important Hadean Varsa commanders despite being among the weakest in terms of combat power.

Even his wife, Alicia, was currently stronger than him.

However, thanks to his unexpected talent for command and strategy, Hadean Varsa’s operations have operated more efficiently over the past two years, allowing them to preserve their forces in challenging situations and achieve their objectives with precision in advantageous ones.

Without a doubt, he was one of the most vital chess pieces Sanada had.

The old man would most definitely not allow Maverick to fall so easily.

As the beep signaling the end of the brief status report sounded, Maverick and the Hadean Varsa Main Force—comprising five thousand terrorists and two thousand elites mounted on various wyverns—descended from the skies like shards of a meteorite, hurtling straight toward the WAA Yon Augenn Headquarters.

Their objective was to seize control of the special teleporters and communication room, cutting off the WAA’s ability to request reinforcements from other cities and regions.

This would force Yon Augenn City’s hidden forces to reveal themselves.

So far, everything was going according to plan.

Soon, Maverick and his men landed at various locations near the WAA Yon Augenn Headquarters, shielded from fall damage by a sudden, powerful gust of wind directed at the ground.

Retrieving a different mana communicator, the commander spoke:

“Squadrons Two and Three, proceed as planned and launch the attack from the rear entrance. Squadron Four, invade from the west entrance. Squadron Five, secure the east entrance and ensure no one escapes.”

“Roger, Commander Maverick!” The squadron captains of the mentioned squadrons responded in unison.

Upon hearing this, the commander nodded in satisfaction, stowing his mana communicator back into the spatial bag at his hip before turning to face his men.

“Squadron One, follow me!”

“Yes, Commander!”

Soon, the guards at the WAA Main Headquarters found themselves locked in a fierce battle with the terrorists.

Unfortunately, despite their best efforts, the guards slowly began to lose ground.

“L-Lord Hale! The terrorists appeared out of nowhere and are now attacking the headquarters! There are at least seven thousand of them!” One of Hale’s aides burst into his lord’s office with a loud bang, panic and anxiety clearly visible on his aged face.

*BANG!*

“What?!” Hale bellowed, slamming his hands onto the desk.

He struggled to accept that these damned terrorists kept appearing in large numbers within his city without him knowing how they were doing it.

Soon after, the head director took a deep breath, understanding that getting angry wouldn’t do him any good.

“What entrances did they target? And how are the headquarters guards holding up?” Hale asked, visibly a lot calmer now.

“R-Reporting to Lord Hale, the terrorists are attacking the main, south, and west entrances. The east entrance hasn’t been breached, but terrorists are stationed outside, likely blocking any attempts to escape.” the aide began, “As for the battle’s status, the guards at the south and west entrances are losing ground but are holding up relatively well. H-However, at the main entrance, the guards are being decisively overwhelmed, and the guard captain has already been slain!”

Hale had the urge to rage once more but suppressed it.

“Fine, summon five hundred WAA Elite guards and have Guard Captain Targon lead them to reinforce the main entrance! Also, summon two hundred more and send a hundred to each of the south and west entrances for reinforcement!” the old head director ordered, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

‘If these bastards somehow manage to push back Targon and his men, I’ll request reinforcements from the Deltra and Fanfir Headquarters…’

He was not scared of dying.

However, he couldn’t allow the damned terrorists to achieve their goals.

Not so easily.

Unfortunately for Hale, he misjudged the terrorists’ true objectives, believing they were after his life when in reality, they were fighting for control of the special teleporters and the communication room.

Soon, another aide came rushing in, his expression the same or even graver than the first one.

This made the veteran head director frown.

“L-Lord Hale!” the aide exclaimed. “After Captain Targon appeared at the main entrance, the attacks on the southern entrance suddenly intensified, forcing our guards to briefly retreat. B-But then, the terrorists didn’t pursue them. Instead, they turned right at the second hallway on the first floor! W-We fear their target might be…”

“The Emergency Teleporters and the Communication Room!” Hale realized, slamming his right hand on the desk once more.

The assault on the main entrance had been nothing but a diversion!
