Strongest Hammer God novel Chapter 334

The Tomes were a starting boost. They were an advantage that people would gain in the Second Realm only.

In the Third Realm, everyone had the same abilities, just with different levels of power.

Naturally, people in the Third Realm could also use their Souls to remotely infuse their surroundings with Ether, but that was also subject to the powers of their Aspects of Power.

Kyle had already known all of that. The only thing he hadn't known was how the Beast Masters actually stored their beasts in such a comparatively small Soul Space.

While Kyle had been listening to Theodor's explanations, the group stopped in front of the gates of the gigantic fortress.

"Only the leaders of each team are allowed to enter the fortress," the Captain said. "Everyone else has to stay outside the base. This is our strongest and most fortified base in the entire Western Front. Due to its significant size, the enemy most likely also knows where it is."

"Sir, why are we keeping it hidden then?" a member of team Mountainwall asked.

"The enemy knows where the base is," the Captain said, "but they don't know who is inside. If they want to strike, they have to strike blindly. There could be ten people in the Third Realm here or a hundred. As long as the barrier is there, they won't know."

"Leaders, follow me!" the Captain ordered.

Kyle nodded to his team and followed the Captain into the fortress with the other leaders.

"You are not part of the army," the Captain said while leading them through the fortified hallways. "That means you will not receive direct orders. Experience and time have shown that ordering unaffiliated teams around ends badly."

"We will be giving you general orders or guidelines. Your job is to follow these guidelines and deliver results."

While the Captain was explaining, he led everyone into a small meeting room. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

There was a huge map on the table with many different symbols on it.

"You are not allowed to share the details of this map with anyone, including your team," the Captain said.

"Yes, sir," everyone said.

For the next moments, the Captain explained the details of the map and what everything represented.

The information contained in the map was quite detailed, but Kyle was sure that the truly important information wasn't on the map.

The most significant symbols on the map represented the fortress and a similarly sized enemy fortress.

"Don't even think about going there," the Captain said. "You won't even be able to get within a hundred kilometers of it. There are sentries in the Third Realm almost everywhere. Naturally, we have our own sentries, but their locations will not be shared with you."

When the Captain was done explaining the map, he looked at the four leaders in front of him.

"Alpha Team, I want you to focus on the frontlines to the west of the Ether Essence," the Captain said. "As you can see, there are a lot of fights near that area. Be careful of enemy sentries."

"I've been there several times, and the secret to surviving is timing. Chances are, the enemy sentries will spot you but won't be confident in killing your entire team on their own. You have a Grandmaster, and that is a big deterrent."

"When a sentry spots you, they will call for other sentries. When enough sentries gather, you will die. This gathering will happen in secret, which means you won't know if they have already seen you or not."

"You have to charge forward to make any gains, but you have to retreat just as quickly. I will be teaching you an easy technique that will alert any nearby sentries in case you need help."

"Do you understand?"

"Yes, sir," Martin answered.

Just as expected, this was not going to be easy.

Every time the Alpha Team would move forward, they would be playing with their lives.

However, the gains were also incredible.

The teams were being paid for working with the army, but they were also paid for every kill and territory conquered.

"The minimum requirement for these three months is to kill ten Peak Second Realm enemies. If you can do that and deliver the corpses, you will have successfully fulfilled your mission. If you finish early, you can continue working or stay near the fortress," the Captain said.
