Night Battle

The sun's orange glow would soon be replaced by the curtain of darkness lit by the night's stars in an hour. Alex stood on top of a four-meter concrete wall, staring at the peaceful horizon, which would soon be filled with deadly beasts.

There were four main gates within the Star Base. The Main Gate in the south, River Gate in the east, Pillar Gate in the west and the Mountain Gate in the north, facing the mountains.

Alex noticed the returning scouts so he quickly called the battalion commanders into the headquarters. He started the meeting by saying, "Commander Farell, please give out the report."

"Out of the twenty-five battalions that were formed, only fourteen managed to get inside the base in time. The other eleven battalions are in Antiga City, in the east, awaiting orders."
