《THE RISE OF ROYAL RED EYES : BLOOD MOON》Chapter 16:OPERATION NUBL PART 1
Advertisement
It took six hours to finalize the operating plan at Nubl. Define the main path that we will pass, along with alternative paths. Daniel had to call the Pollux clan to ask for help with Russian satellite imagery in Syria, it was not difficult because Russia was indeed involved in a conflict of interest in the Syrian war and opposed to the US.
We set out at almost dusk to take advantage of the darkness to sneak up on the tight blockade of dusty and broken roads in Syria. Three large buses bearing the emblem of the international red cross are prepared although we will try to keep them completely out of sight. Twenty-five team members, 4 three-star commander level people were accompanying them. Neil Lambert is an experienced military commander and his team is leading the mission this time.
Our first four-hour journey encountered no significant obstacles, we had already traveled more than half of the journey by the time the clock struck nine o'clock in the evening.
From Tartus we took a detour south through Hama, continued on the alternative north of Rahjan and straight south through Khanasar and Safira, areas still controlled by the Syrian government and would then be careful to circle Allepo from the west to Nubl. The barren roads were full of desert dust that kept us from walking fast in the dark night.
Khanasar and Safira are relatively safe, but travel after the city of Safira requires extra careful supervision. Vortex will be used when pressed, we have to save energy because we need to open a large vortex the size of a bus on the way back to Tartus and a vortex that big has to use the power of two attacking magicians who control the moving vortex. There are only exactly four people who can open vortex in this team.

We stopped to check the path ahead. The two legions used dissipating spells and would fly along the route we were on ahead.
Five hours after passing Safira, ten at night. We decided to rest for an hour, after this we have to try to penetrate Allepo, a lot of energy will be spent on the dissipating spell, keeping our party invisible.
"Miss Alexa, a call for you" a legion handed over the satellite phone.
"Alexa" it is Daniel's voice.
"Alexander called from Brussels, he urged me to put him in touch with you. One more thing he sounded a little upset"
I sighed, Mr. Martin why he should tell Alexander now. This will be very annoying.
"All right, put him in touch"
I heard a transitional voice
"Alexa!" Alexander's voice was high. I expected it. Of course he got angry. I left his house without telling him and defied the dangers in the conflict area. Of course he went on a rampage now.
"What is it Alex? I can handle this. You don't have to be mad at me." I tried to cut his anger out.
"You know, you are the most desperate woman I have ever known. You're crazy going through the dangers in Allepo alone! Without my consent! You are under my responsibility! If anything happens I will be blamed! What's in your brain! Come back now! !"
I had to move the speaker of the phone away as he shouted out loud commanding. He's really angry! I grin with satisfaction at the thought of him going back and forth somewhere grumpy without being able to do anything. Somehow this feels so good. Now I smile broadly. Soon it looks like I'll be laughing. I really enjoy being able to anger him.
As if I could get a little revenge for his treatment yesterday, even though I never meant it that way. I did it purely to save trapped children and volunteers.

"Alexa, do you hear me?!"
I'm giggling silently now. Looks like I'm a little mentally ill, I now dare to play with the anger of an Alexander Ostrander. Ohhh I'm scared! But my grin widened.
"Okay, you're done, Alexander. I have to leave in a moment. Don't worry, we can handle this. We'll be close to Allepo soon. I'll hang up."
Now he's giving me orders to wait for him. And of course I have no intention of not wanting to obey his words at all.
"You listen to me Alexander Ostrander, I can solve this without your help! And you need to know, my strength is needed to open a large vortex to Tartus for those 200 people, and with or without you I can handle this myself, you're clear! I'm not a person. Which you can threaten arbitrarily! And one more thing, if you scold Mr. Martin, remember he did it for the safety of his son. You know he has nothing wrong but to protect his son. If you fire him, I will cause trouble with you!"
I stopped and now feeling satisfied with my words.
" I have to go now!"
I switched off the phone unilaterally and was lazy to hear any further confrontations. Alexander must be annoyed that I hung up on his call. I have to stop myself from smiling broadly now. Commander Neil was getting ready to signal for departure.
Our team has to cover another 80 km. This area is getting prone, Neil has ordered two observers to fly ahead of the path that we are going to pass ahead. Meanwhile the entire group's appearance will be removed with a vanishing spell. The six people took turns using their energy spells on top of the three buses to keep us out of sight. As we approach Allepo, the sound of gunfire and mortars can be heard cutting through the night sky. Meanwhile, along the road, destroyed buildings and uninhabited houses are a sight that we continue to see. War never brings good.

The Shattered Circle
Aleyr Frostborn has survived a hundred prophecies of her defeat, breaking each one by slaying the champions of light sent to kill her. Amongst the forces of good, her very name is a curse, and with good reason. Beyond her own evil, it is said that so long as she lives, the reign of the Godslayer himself will last: the lich king who the terrified masses call the King in Black. While the kingdoms and empires that surround the blighted lands of the undead lands struggle to survive and beat back the tide of evil, the machinations of the Eternal Kingdom's dark court barely contain the bitter struggles for power between the forces that have made it what it is. With one foretold hero brutally snuffed out, another will inevitably arise. For Aleyr, the cycle only further embitters her towards the gods of good and all those who serve them. But the truth is that her downfall might be something much closer to home than their prophecies, those last dregs of mortality beating inside her own chest. With a thoughtless intersection between cruelty and mercy, she begins a chain of events that threatens to tear the Eternal Kingdom and her own loyalties into shreds. After all, many things can be broken, not just prophecies.
