Chapter 9

(Before we begin the story I would like to tell yall about a book I've been reading called EXP EXP by Mika_Me the title is in all caps. Anyways it's a book to help you level up your profile on WebNovel read its Synopsis if you want to know more. Well back to the story)

Fire! Boom, boom, boom. Artillery guns are bursting through the air as shells rain down on friend and foe alike, but no one stops to take cover even though men are getting blown to pieces right next to them instead both sides are charging toward their foe with the intent to kill the other before they get a chance to kill them.

The fighting has been going on for a month now ever since the ceasefire ended not even an hour had gone by before the Empire and the Alliance was at each other's throats again. The battlefield is where men can be their authentic selves ripping and tearing each other apart with their armor covered in the blood of their enemy, watching men's bodies being ripped apart by bullets as if they were in a meat grinder, your adrenaline pumping as you bash the enemy's head open, leaving a mountain of bodies until you're the last man standing or until you your self become apart of that mountain.

The natives of Xiren have never seen anything like this before. And the Murim faction is just barely holding on with half of their forces killed in the first week of the war, another half either joining the Empire or the Alliance or just running away and going into hiding.

Listen up our guys are going to be shelling the enemy now once the shelling stops the first wave will run towards the enemy trenches and capture them if the first wave does not take those trenches, thirty minutes after the first wave the second wave will move in.

In one of the Empires bases on the battlefield, coordinates are 15°24'15"N, 30°E10'3 fire.

On another battlefield somewhere, come in command we are under heavy fire from enemy mechs we can not reach the objective we need artillery support asap.

Similar situations just like these are happening all over the planet.

On the Valkyrie looking out the deck window Is a man in armor gazing at Xiren as part of it is up in flames, behind him is a girl no older than ten years old kneeling waiting for his command.

It's time I give you a proper name my apprentice. From now on you shall be known as Adrienne, Adrienne Blackwell. You are now my daughter you shall inherit the throne but only if you can take my life in battle, but if I ever sense that you are getting weak then I will kill you myself and find a new apprentice who can kill me.

(Adrienne means Dark One in Latin I think let me know if I'm wrong. And I believe Blackwell means Dark in UK English again let me know if I'm wrong.)

Thank you, Father. Adrienne waits to see Ghost's reaction to her calling him father, but he does not react to her comment. She took his silence as his approval of her calling him father.

Prepare to head to the surface of the planet, you will be going with one of the ghost battalions platoons to gain some experience. Also, no one knows your identity they don't know if you are a boy or girl and what kind of connection you have with me and I want you to keep it that way. Do you know why I go by the name Ghost? Because no one knows what I truly look like. I could be a man or a woman or nether that way it makes it harder for my enemies to kill me because I can be anyone. I could meet someone as a woman one day and then as a man the next. I could be old, young, or a child it keeps everyone on their toes and makes it easier for me to move around. I will teach you everything I know in the future but never forget you can always learn something from someone never think you know everything for only a fool denies knowledge.

In one of the Valkyries' private hangar bays, one of the Ghost's Battalions Platoons the Angel of Death is gathered and ready to depart on their next mission. Listen up Reapers we have a rookie joining us sent by the Emperor himself we are to teach them everything we know. Introduce yourself, rookie.

A kid in obsidian-colored armor steps out of line and stands at attention and with a voice modulator on no one can tell whether they are a boy or a girl. You all can call me Zero and I hope to learn a lot from you all. And with that Zero steps back into line.

Alright, our mission today is we'll be doing an orbital drop in Alliance territory so as to secure City A in order to take their supply lines here, here, and here. We will have to eliminate their troops guarding the city and secure the natives as well now we'll have an hour tops befor the Alliance notice something is wrong and send reinforcements so before they can do that we will need to set up a short-range teleportation station and get our men in the city but in order to do that we will have to take down the shield surrounding the city and once we do that they are going to know something is wrong so we got to move fast. Now we will be deploying a few J.E.As (Juggernaut Exo Armor) M.I.Ds (Mobil Infantry Dog) and S.M.Ds (Scouting Mech Drone). Once we land we're going to split up into five groups ten in each group. The groups will the Alfa, Bravo, Charlie, Delta, And Echo. Rookie, you'll be with me in Alfa, check your equipment before we depart I don't need anyone's stuff to malfunction when we're in a firefight grab extra equipment if you need to we leave in one hour.

Rookie come here, now I don't know anything about you, and I'm about to deploy into the field with you can I count on you not to freeze up and have our backs when shit hits the fan, now if you can't guarantee you'll have our backs let me know now and a will request the emperor to transfer you to another platoon.

Yes sir you can count on me.

Do you know why they call our platoon the Angel of Death its because we kill without any mercy no matter who they are? Whether they are a baby, kid, pregnant mother, or even our own family we get the job done can I expect the same from you to kill without a second thought because some of those natives are going to try and resist us and we're going to have to make an example out of them and there families and friends.

Without hesitation, Adrienne answers number 264, Yes Sir I can and I will.

Number 264 can hear the determination in their voice, alright then get ready to depart.

One Hour later

All preparations are complete commencing operation Starfall. A few Imperial Destroyers are headed toward the Alliance space station.

The alarms are blaring in the Alliance space station, the intercoms are alerting everyone to get to their battle stations. Imperial Destroyers are on a collision course with the station deploy the Battleships to intercept them and do not let the station get within their firing range.

The Alliance Battleships and Imperial Destroyers are fighting in space each deploying their fighter ships, debris from blown-up ships is floating in space and some are falling towards planet Xiren. In drop pods, The Angel of Death platoon is being shot from the Valkyrie into space towards the planet Xiren using the debris and wreckage from the ships as cover to slip into Alliance territory without suspicion.

( Okay I'm changing the alliance ship from vessel to battleship because to me it sounds better and if you have any recommendations for ship names or anything else let me know in the comments I could use the help. Oh and please let me know of any mistakes I made that I need to fix)
