'I didn't know what I expected,' Kyle thought as he just looked at a bunch of mountains.
He was at the World Peak, the biggest and highest mountain range in the world.
While its area was smaller than the Himalayas, the height of many of the mountains dwarfed Mount Everest.
Yet, he only saw mountains.
He felt like he should be impressed by something, but they were just mountains.
It was kind of boring.
"Everything you see from now on is to be kept top secret," the Captain said. "Sharing the location of any base you will see is considered treason."
"Yes, sir!" the group shouted.
A moment later, everyone started climbing the relatively steep mountains.
Some of the Fighters used their Souls to run along the walls of the mountains, but there were also a couple of Fighters who couldn't do that.
Fighters didn't have an improved Soul, which meant that doing something like this was quite difficult for them and took a lot of practice to learn.
Not everyone had learned that.
Naturally, the Captain took note of the performance of different people and teams.
Climbing the mountain range was a small test to see how the teams would adapt to the environment.
The Alpha Team had no issues. They all just ran on the mountain walls.
Surprisingly, team Mountainwall didn't seem to be very comfortable with the walls of the mountains.
Only two of them could use their Souls to cling to the walls, while the remainder had to search for other ways to get up.
Crevices, digging into the mountain, lower inclines, and so on.
The Captain noted that the team split.
The ones who could run along the walls followed the group, while the others had to search for their own ways.
'Bad cohesion,' the Captain thought.
Team Rapidstream had three people who could run along the walls, but none of them actually used that skill.
Instead, they walked with their two members who didn't have that skill.
'Good cohesion,' the Captain thought.
As for team Sandstorm…
They all just jumped onto Lily's flying golems, while the ground golems ran up the walls.
The Captain couldn't make a judgment on their cohesion since he couldn't see if anybody had any issues with the mountain walls.
"Stop!" the Captain shouted after reaching the top of one of the mountains.
Naturally, everyone stopped.
"Wait here," the Captain said before running forward on his own.
Everyone waited for about a minute.
Then, the Captain returned. "Continue!"
"Yes, sir!"
Traveling across the mountain range was not easy.
The individual mountains had sharp angles, and there were significant altitude differences between them.
For example, the first mountain was around two kilometers high.
The peak of the second mountain was around one kilometer away.
Yet, the lowest point between the two mountains was almost 500 meters lower than their peaks.
This put the Fighters in front of a choice.
They were already near the frontlines, and the Third Realm Winterfire People could already be ready for an ambush.
If one of the members decided to jump from peak to peak, they would be defenseless.
They were Fighters, and with their pitiful Souls, they couldn't use the Ether in the air to change their trajectories.
