《Beast Saga: Humanity's End》Hope and Despair
Advertisement
When they were preparing for another assault, a system window appeared in front of them, taking them by surprise.
They could not figure out this situation. Captain Sam hesitantly asked whether others could see some game-like system window in front of them. Cadets answered affirmatively. Captain Sam instructs them to check what is written in each of their status windows and report him.
Through various videos, Captain Sam could see that the world had filled with monsters; It shocked him to know that everywhere was in the same situation. He checks his rewards:
-----------------------------
-------------------------------
Captain Sam finds his skills useful on this military base where the only thing he doesn't have to worry about is weapons. After that, he enhanced his skills from the given options because he was confident in his physical prowess and intelligence.
The soldiers reported their skills to the Captain. The Captain then instructed them about what to enhance and where they should be assigned a position according to their skill sets. Those with physical defense and short-range skills were called vanguard and designated at the front. Cadets with long-range and buff skills were at some distance. They prepared a formation with Captain Sam as their center because of his skills. They even keep weapons in store randomly; so that Captain Sam's skills can work.
After checking their formation, they found the help function. Many cadets suggested using it to call for help, but Captain Sam was hesitant to involve civilians. Captain Sam knows that danger is higher on this base than in any other place in City A. They could infer this from the ranking system, giving them rank one.
They also find that the monsters here are called ogres in fantasy novels, and currently, Ogre is the strongest monster that has been summoned until now.
----
The window showed that after 48 hours, the next event will start and before that, they had to kill all the remaining 200 ogres in this base. After watching the count of the remaining ogres' Captain post a bounty request on the forum, he felt ashamed of himself. Witnessing civilians die in their homes filled him with guilt, and he could only wait for survivors to help the military that was supposed to protect them.
After clearing his mind from stray thoughts, he addresses his soldiers, "Everyone, even though I put in a bounty request, we should not hope for any reinforcements because we are trained soldiers, and they are only civilians."
"I only hope the civilians can save themselves, and those who are strong enough to fight will help others first and then come here."
"Until then, we will fight to our last breath, and keep standing till our last drop of blood is spilled."
Captain Sam's words motivated the soldiers and made them the last line of defense for this base.
Following the announcement of the bounty request, soldiers could see the number of ogres declining in the system window. They understood that some people had come to their aid after completing their quest.
Captain Sam instructs, "We should also move and clear areas one by one."

"We may even find those who are here to help us." "Stay in the formation."
Captain Sam's formation was impeccable, but he could not use his skills because of their movement here and there.
Two retired army soldiers joined them after some time. Captain Sam asked why they came here and left their homes defenseless. One of them replied, "Sir, I'm Hussain. I watched your fight, and my old bones filled with the strength of my young days."
"It's not every day that I get to fight with a commander of your caliber."
Those who joined them gave the same reason. Now only 100 ogres remained, and the soldier count rose to a hundred, including the civilians. It filled everyone with confidence that now they are in the same numbers and, with their newfound strength; it is possible to eliminate these intruders.
Soldiers from all units moved in the ogre's direct path. The path leads them to the firing range, where soldiers practice firing the gun. When they arrived, they did not recognize the place they visit daily. There was an enormous camp of ogres. At the center of that camp, a giant red ogre of 10 ft. With two big horns and large fangs was sitting on a throne. His mouth was wide enough to swallow a whole boar, his fangs were projecting outwards and his nostrils were massive.
The system says he is Commander Ogre, and the remaining ogres are his elite unit that has been used to slaughter many races and faced many battles. Captain Sam could feel their strength just by watching them from a distance. This is the first time the captain has seen a commander that could leave him shivering without even fighting. Instinctually, Sam knew either this fight would cause their annihilation or the world would gain the most capable warriors.
----
They carried out their preparations as effectively as they could. Captain Sam explains the plan. "The plan is simple. They are smart, but this must be the first time they have seen firearms." Therefore, we will use this to our advantage. "
"Team 1 will use the grenades we could find to distract them and divide their elite team." This team will have long-range fighters. Hussain will lead team 1."
"Team 2 is composed of all short-range fighters with physical prowess." Team 2 will pierce their camp and strike into the enemy's heart. I will lead team 2 and we will kill their leader. "
"If it took the leader out, we can use the guerilla tactic to kill the remaining ogres."
[Guerilla strategy- strike the enemy with ambushes keeping allies hidden and least casualties]
After everyone was ready, Captain Sam gave the signal to start their assault on the ogre to secure their base. Team 1 started their long-range attacks with firearms, which caused disturbance among the enemies. Taking advantage of this disturbance, captain Sam yells "Team 2 charge".
While killing the enemies along the way, Team 2 strikes the enemy camp. Hussain thought, "Yes! I knew the captain's plan was perfect, and I will show my family how bravely I fought with the captain."

Suddenly, something hits team 1, and a blast occurs. Hussain tries to open his eyes. "What happened?"
"How could they attack us?"
A cadet yelled, "RPG! Run it RPG!" Hussain was confused. "How can monsters use RPGs and firearms?"
Then, Hussain watches an RPG coming his way. He closes his eyes and remembers his memories with his family in the last moments. Captain Sam, while fighting, notices team 1 and yells "Hussain", and team 1 gets hit by a lot of RPGs.
After that, many RPGs make their way to Team 2. Now the formation of Team 2 was in shambles. Captain Sam could not believe what he was seeing with his eyes.
"How can monsters use firearms?" Captain Sam cried aloud.
Then he notices that Commander Ogre is coming his way. He was a giant among giants with a mace in his hand; even Captain Sam felt like a baby in front of him. Commander Ogre laughs and, with his harsh and loud voice and incomprehensible English, says, "HUMAN YOU THINK WE ARE STUPID,
DO YOU EVEN KNOW HOW MANY SPECIES I HAVE FOUGHT AND ANNIHILATED? "
"I'M RAZAK, COMMANDER OF THE GREAT OGRE KING."
"DID YOU ASK HOW WE USE YOUR WEAPONS?"
"DON'T YOU KNOW ABOUT INFILTRATION AND TORTURE?"
Captain Sam confusedly said, "What? When? "
Razak laughs again. "JUST BEFORE THE ATTACK, I CAPTURED YOUR MEN AND LEARNED EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS BASE AND ITS WEAPONRY."
"THAT'S WHY I EXPLODE YOUR ARMORY, AFTER I TOOK EVERYTHING BIG AND USEFUL FROM YOUR ARMORY."
"YOU WERE ONLY DANCING IN MY PALM FROM THE START, HUMAN."
"NOW I WILL USE ALL THESE WEAPONS TO KILL YOUR RACE."
"Hahahahaha".
Razak's sinister laugh was choking Captain Sam. Captain Sam thought, "So this is how I will die, after losing the base to enemies and even giving them the weapon of destruction to kill my people."
"Looks like this is the downfall of my military base."
Suddenly A big explosion occurs in the throne room of Razak. With this explosion, everyone was in disarray, and it nearly killed all the elite guards of Razak.
"WHO WAS THAT?" Razak cried out in a very loud voice.
Then Captain Sam noticed a young man coming from the explosion. He was burning but still coming that way. The fire in his body gradually extinguished, and his burn marks disappeared as if they had never happened.
Now that he was closer to the Captain, Sam could see his features. He was not very charming, but he wasn't dull either. However, there was something in his eyes that drew Captain Sam to him. In his eyes was the look of a beast that had just annihilated an entire army. He was carrying two battle-axes in his hands that were red hot due to fire.
Razak was furious that they could see even the veins on his head. "BASTARD! WHO ARE YOU"? That man did not reply to Razak, but while watching Captain Sam he said, "I'm Tejasv".
His eyes were looking straight into the captain's eyes. It was like one beast peering into another. Tejasv nodded his head while looking into the captain's eyes. The captain sensed a beast telling another beast to stand and fight for its survival. Now the Captain was filled with a comradeship he had never felt before.
Razak could feel that he was now surrounded by cornered beasts that were ready to kill those who disturbed their sleep. Each person was looking into the eyes of their prey. Then suddenly, all three of them roared together and charged at their enemy.
Captain Sam used his skill marking that area as his base and that other young man as his ally. All the weapons present there started attacking Razak. Razak and Tejasv crashed into each other and threw each other away. No one in the surrounding area dared to interfere. Not even Razak's remaining soldiers did anything. This is a fight between beasts determining their rights to territory, which everyone perceives as a fight for survival.
The sparks from their weapons twinkled as Razak and Tejasv clashed repeatedly. No one was intending to stop. When Tejasv and Razak's weapons clashed it produces the sound of 'Clang', and that was the only sound ringing on that battlefield.
Captain Sam used all his concentration to attack Razak from blind spots with different weapons. Razak became furious with Captain Sam's annoying skills and threw his mace at him, knocking him away from the area. The blow was harder than he thought; two of his ribs broke, and he threw up blood. After the removal of Captain Sam from his sight, Razak clashed with Tejasv with bare hands. He suppressed Tejasv with his incredible strength. Razak grabbed Tejasv's hand and tore it from his body.
Tejasv cried with pain, and Razak started laughing while watching him. Tejasv lost a lot of blood and stamina. He used his regeneration skill to grow another arm and again engaged the enemy. Razak "WHAT AN ANNOYING SKILLl"
"BUT HOW MANY TIMES CAN YOU USE IT?"
"I WILL MAKE YOU MY PET, TEARING YOU DAILY TILL THE END OF THE WORLD."
After listening, Tejasv replied, while panting, "I will destroy you before the world ends."
It seemed like they would never end their fight, but everyone could sense that Tejasv wouldn't last much longer. Someone suddenly grabbed Razak from behind, with no one noticing.
"Hussain?" "Captain from afar," he says, perplexed with this situation.
"You dying human, release me," Razak cried.
While on his last breath, Hussain says while panting, "Looks like my skill-no presence is useful after all." "Captain and young man, I'll take all the glory from here."
Hussain used all the grenades in his body while clinging to Razak, and that created a big explosion. Razak was still alive but heavily injured. Using this opportunity, Tejasv and the Captain both aimed at Razak's neck at the same time.
Everyone could only see a straight-line flash before them as a bullet and Razak's head flew into the sky.
