The bay doors opened as the Marines take in the luscious scenery of forests, oceans, and mountains of old Requeim their former home.

Some of them took off their helmets as the vast scenery of Ren'veil swept the hearts of each warrior as if they had fallen in love for the first time.

One of Kent's close allies and friends aboard the Night Hawk Clayton Carmive is the Resident muscle of the Strike team, He often wears the type 4 tactical Knight armor called the Heavy herculio, like Rex's suit it is also equipped with Jump kit boosters, gravity boots and ascension cable's. The suit can be compared to a behemoth in size since its base design is from the heavy knights during Terran Age 2942(Xheronian time).

Clayton has a strong build, Caucasian skin, Brown eyes, and brown hair though he is a promethian and has disintegrated legs. He wears a brown environmental skin atmospheric skinsuit with a pair of claw boots, and a shirt with leather plating symbolizing their cultural heritage as proud warriors. For his weapon, He uses a modified Magnus 12 barrel Vulcan type 1 Trencher Vulcan code-named *Trencher*.

This Vulcan can unload over 2400 round per second and has a spin rate of 120 rims per minute it fires specialized high explosive impact based 90mm Pandemonium class caliber bullets. This gun can make the Trenches and out of all its counterparts and even the Anti-air cannons used on tanks look like a windup toy since this new type can destroyer a bunker in just 25% usage of its ammunition.

Although he is strong and can be considered as the big brother of the strike team his mouth can be compared to a bullet train a very dirty bullet train.

"Bossman we are closing in on the beacon's location according to Lily, There a lot of villages being attacked the other Knight bosses want to have something to fight and those soldier looking halfwits are looking like a decent fight." Clayton cussed.

"Very well Clayton, tell the other captains to disperse and engage the enemy where ever they may be... but two squads shall stay with us I have a feeling we will need some backup."

"You got it bossman!"

"Sometimes I don't know where or how does he even have the ability to cuss and swear like that... It's a bit annoying." Willow said as she threw an energy mag to Kent.

"Right, Sorry about him Willow... He means well but he does not often show it in the right way... Believe me, out of that hard exterior beats the heart of a true warrior and friend."

"I will take your word for it Sir, but I am unconvinced... Since my brother and I had been in your squad for at least 6 months now... I guess the benefit of the doubt would come into play huh General?"

"Right, I know you are looking out for your brother but does he know that a lot of medics including my Sister Lily... That he should not be in battle right now after suffering so many head injuries?"

"I am worried about my brother General... But He insisted to fight once this is over may I have permission to take my brother to New Dawn for proper medical treatments?" Willow asked.

"You may tell you what once Micheal is receiving his treatments I'll pay the bills for it and bring a basket of fruits and Juice in a box."

"Permission to speak freely General!"

"Sure, Marky what's on your mind?"

"This place... It looks fairly similar to my homeworld of Pri-ah and from the history books... Requiem... I want to know how did you find this place anyway?"

"It's a long story my friend but like what I said previously... I did disappear for an entire year from the Kingdom because this world needed my Help at the time... The people here have Mages and Priestesses who believe in the gods... Long story short my friend... They prayed to their gods, Faith answered their prayers, I was chosen for the mission, it took an entire year to complete, I gave one of the Mages a beacon to find this place when danger comes... Along with the fact that the Bloodstone Oathkeeper showed the path to Ren'veil means that we are meant to find this place. I would say we are on the stepping stone in the right direction I would say, my friend."

"Fair point if Faith steps in then this is some serious stuff... I am glad to be here making a difference... Though the other marines are not making it easy for me to put my trust in them, to be honest."

"Right, I know it's hard to trust others If you put your Fate in those who believe in you then you shall never face betrayal and those friends who truly believe in you will never leave you hanging of who you are..."

"Thank you for trusting and keeping my secret Kent... I will repay that debt no matter what."

"Do not worry Marky it is already paid in full... Lady Winter how long until drop?"

"30 seconds till drop cousin... Opening rear bay doors now."

With the strike team coming together everyone was ready to fight as the rear bay doors opened Clayton took a quick glance at the situation below and it was getting dire.

"Bossman the iron armored soldiers are killing the civvies... Request permission to break their legs!"

"Me first!" Kent said.

Kent jumped out the Night Hawk with sword and pistol in hand he opened fire on several soldiers that were about to skewer a group of civilians. He landed on top of a soldier crushing his neck from the impact with boosters ignited Kent rushed into a group of soldiers and started systematically cutting down the enemy soldiers.

He crashed into a group of soldiers who performed a shield wall formation by throwing one of the Excaliburst blades cutting down their shields and several soldiers into pieces. He dived into the middle of the group as he grabbed the Excaliburst using his steel claw boots activating the ability of the blades upon contact with the enemy shield it unleashed a powerful energy wave slicing several people in half.

The knight showed his prowess with the blade as he systematically cut and sliced down dozens upon dozens of soldiers limb by limb without mercy or respite.

One of the soldiers rushed him from behind and plunged his spear on his back but the blade spear tip broke off on impact from the Xerrohmite plating. Kent grabbed the soldier by the neck and fed a fragmentation grenade into his mouth and threw him into another group of soldiers killing them immediately.

The rest of the Strike team jumped in the middle of the city clearing every soldier they saw while Lily and Micheal aided the civilians to safety.

"General, Rex here the soldiers are not letting up... We have a lot of wounded people in the city center." Rex reported.

"Help them and push the army out of Hope city... By the way, Rex if you see two girls with violet hair wearing a white clerical outfit and a black-haired monk let me know right away... If you see them show them my the Dragon-wolf emblem."

"Understood General, over and out."

He closed the intercom and dashed to the side kicking one of the soldier's crushing his shield into their rib cage killing them instantly. Kent looked up to the sky to see the marines with their knight captains dropping in from the sky aiding the Strike team as the battle raged throughout the city.

The battle raged on as more and more soldiers came in from the north and west of the battlefield the Knights and marines regrouped at the western gate while the Dreadmech suits easily held the other city entrances while pushing the tide of soldiers out of the city.

Kent showed his skill and mastery over the excaliburst blades and Trailblazer buster sword as he juggled from one blade to the other at the same time using a flurry of throwing knives and pistol shots against the seemingly numerous hoards of enemies.

With the aid of the other sky raider teams that dropped to the other villages earlier, they were able to force a retreat against the New Kingdom army. The Sky raider's attacked from the rear of the western army and the dread knights from the north they speared through dozens upon hundreds of soldiers trying to rally to their lord and master.

The first wave of zerrohnians led by Captain Khorn Blood Fang arrived aiding his lord in battle as he ripped through several dozens of soldiers using his plasma axes. Khorn Blood Fang is well known among the Iron wolves as a Fell Fang berserker hailing from the red ring zone of New Dawn. The Red ring zone is notoriously known for its rank 59 to 71 fell beasts spawn and harsh living conditions made it near impossible for anyone to live in unless they are part of the Blood Fang tribe.

The Blood fangs are known to the Iron wolves as the best front line battlers in any war no company will fight head-on with little to no care about themselves, they specialize in close-quarter combat as a sign of honor for the blood fangs.

The Blood Fangs rank is based on how many times their weapons and armor are repaired the more repair dents on their gear equals a year's worth of experience since Xerrohmite Adamantine armor is incredibly strong and tough.

Khorn Blood Fang had 7 years of experience under his belt and he is the oldest Fell fang berserker to have joined Victor Redridge in rescuing Charlotte sentinel from the Graveyard station and participated in the final battle for Jorgal 5 during the 2nd Great War.

Khorn is also one of the many Mentors of Kent Redridge during his time on New Dawn before he was summoned to Ren'veil.

"HAIL LORD ANTHONY HA HA HA!" Khorn shouted as he bathed in the blood of the soldiers.

"Good to see you are enjoying yourself Khorn now report."

"YES LORD, We saved several hundred villagers they say that these sniveling scum bags are called the New Kingdom... They hailed from the Capital city and was formed about a year ago though they are just pudgy flesh bags... They are worthy enough to satiate my axes." Khorn said as he cleaved two soldiers in half.

"Hmm, If what you say is true then they were formed by the time my summoning contract was completed... I need to speak with the Elders of the city... Khorn can I count on you to push the enemy out of the city?"

"IF you will it... my Lord then My Berserkers will see it done!" Khorn said with a sadistic smile.

"Then make it happen... No mercy or respite... Enjoy yourself Khorn also rescue as many civilians as you can while you're at it." Kent ordered.

"I shall not fail my Lord!" Khorn saluted as his eyes turned bloody red.

The Fell Fang berserkers have a unique ability called blood rage this genetic trait is well known amongst the Fell Fangs as it increases their combat discipline, aggression, strength, endurance, speed, reaction time, and pain tolerance to beyond angelic levels.

Though the empire considered this trait as a defect due to the mass genetic alterations made by the custodians when they originally found the Xar-gezh.

But due to this so-called Defect, to the Dragon-wolf Legion, The Iron wolves, and to their great founder the Eternal knight. They are an invaluable and well-trusted ally of the Kingdom Khorn himself and many others amongst the Blood fang were offered a seat upon the Royal guards but they declined and instead they wish to serve as the fangs and claws of battle where they belong.

Khorn smiled at his enemies as he used Blood lust and Dominators rage against the soldiers sending them all into a terrified frenzy as they were brutally cut down by the Berserker.

With the army's attention drawn towards the Berserker Kent moved into the city while the marines and Knights garnered the attention of the soldiers.

He ran through what was left of the makeshift bridge and the broken down barricade the sight of dead civilians was unsettling for a knight to see as it broke every rule and code made by their founder.

The code of the Knights dictates that should the innocent and defenseless die in the battle between the knights and their enemies. A prayer of peace must be offered to allow the innocent to pass to the heavenly realm sadly there was little time to mourn the dead he moved through the streets as passed through several soldiers of the New Kingdom fought against the marine squads scattered across the city.

Passing through several blocks as the main roads were destroyed during the battles against the new kingdom. Kent was able to regroup with the Strike team who created a base around the ruins of city hall.

"My god, How could I let this happen..." Kent thought.

The sight of hundreds upon thousands of wounded civilians from the young to the elderly who lost an arm, a leg, an eye or two, or an entire family. Their sorrow, pain, and anguish could be felt around him the people desired vengeance and justice above all else.

The grave injustice the Vai'len had suffered called out for justice as the knights were enraged by such a tragedy coming from their own king.

He closed his eyes listening to the billions of voices taken from them for the Earth Mother cries out for justice. Though they gladly answer the call of the Vai'len but little did they know that another force who hungers for battle awaits deep within the stars above.
