The evening had come. The soldiers of Aether Camp were gathered, ready for their next expedition into the outskirts. Their mission was simple—hunt the beasts, kill the mutant beasts, and level up.
This wasn't just any normal outing. It was an order from their new Commander-in-Chief.
Many soldiers were surprised when they first heard it.
After all, it wasn't just a few squads heading out. Almost every soldier was being sent beyond the camp walls.
The thought unsettled some at first. Leaving the camp so empty didn't feel right. But then, they remembered—Leo, the new Commander-in-Chief, was staying behind, along with Victor.
Leo wasn't just anyone. He was a Level 4 Transcendent.
Knowing someone like him was guarding the camp gave them peace of mind, especially since many had their families living inside. If something happened to the camp, it would destroy their will to fight.
But now, with Leo defending the base, they could focus on the task ahead.
