BXBX NOVEL Chapter 291 - Galactus
24 hours before the attack of the Arcadia city,
In the black darkness of space, a cruiser class starship had just come out from hyperdrive as it zoomed into a new galaxy at the speed of light.
On the bridge of the spaceship were a dozen black uniformed humans hunched over behind their individual computer screens, operating the ship with intent looks on their faces.
"Captain, we have successfully entered Galaxy D-762"
"Well done, proceed with scanning"
There are 9 known realms in the universe, each with its own thousands of galaxy. This particular one resided within the Chaotic ones.
It was considered a chaotic realm as it\'s not considered a part of any of the human occupied realms, nor was it part of any of the elven realms.
"We have allocated the last known location of Prometheus ship of the Grey wolf"
"Alright send a message and set course to location"
"Yes captain"
"Captain Sigfried of the Grey Wolf. This is the 201st Cruiser, Galactus. We have already entered the galaxy. Over."
Within a few hours, the space cruiser Galactus was finally hovering just out of orbit on top of the planet of their destination. The communication officer, though somewhat relieved that they had arrived, glanced slightly anxiously at his leader.
"There is still no sign of reply, Captain, but the message was confirmed to be transmitted."
The captain named Shale Jenkin was a man in his 50s who wore a similar rigid black uniform as his subordinates, but adorned with golden laces instead as a way to signify his heightened position.
From his seat on the center of the platform, he was trying to access the data from the panel in front of him, when suddenly a shining cube began to hover in front of him, bobbing up and down in the air. As he touched it lightly with his fingertips, information started to materialize inside of his mind.
[Planet 8753 - Class L]
[Elves - Lower Realm]
From the information he had just received, he knew that the planet was an elven-occupied one. But since this place was located within a galaxy that was tucked away in one of the corners of the realms, he believed that the information within the cube could be outdated.
He then confirmed their mission once again, going over it in his mind as he placed his fingers on the cube.
[Objective one: Find Grey Wolf Elite Unit]
[Objective two: Capture Curssac the goblin scientist - Dead or Alive]
The captain then glare upon the skinny men next to him and said,
"Major this objective is definitely unworthy for my crew, what is exactly that you were looking for?"
The major answer without even took glace at the captain
"Captain Jenkins, that is not true, no objective is too low for the Alliance, we should complete any task given with our best capability."
The captain was annoyed with such an answer, the major could just said it was classified.
Although the objective appears to be insignificant, ever since the Magus Alliance had started to expand its borders, a space cruiser such as Galactic always had its primary objectives on stand by.
[Primary objective: Find new settlement]
Hence they were scouring the far and usually untouched corners of the realm.
With this information in mind, he then ordered his crew to do a quick scan of the planet in front of them, and in the process, he found that it did have a moderate amount of lifeforms residing within it, those of which consisted of both humans and elves, among many other creatures living alongside them.
There were two main continents, one which was mostly occupied by humans, while the other had elves living amongst humans as well as a mixed population.
Seeing the data that was laid out in front of him, the captain let out a long sigh.
"That\'s a shame," he remarked, a solemn look on his face.
To be thorough, the captain then gave the crew the orders to check the surrounding galaxy for any trace of the elven presence, but the planet strangely has been abandoned for quite a while"
The information seems too strange for Captain Jenkins but not enough to hinder his next plan.
"Bring the ship to enter the planet." the captain said curtly.
"Yes, captain."
Right away, the ship dropped into the planet\'s atmosphere.
But as they entered, the crew immediately began to lose balance, realizing that the ship was shaking harder than usual.
"What\'s going on?! Report status!" The captain exclaimed.
"We have just passed some kind of energy barrier, captain, but no damage, nothing to worry about."
"No! Start a secondary analysis on the energy barrier."
"Yes captain, right away."
Such analyses usually took hours to conduct, but at the moment, they were already inside of the planet\'s atmosphere. This meant that whatever the barrier was, they were already inside it.
"Maximum scan; trace for the objective."
"Yes, captain, we were unable to find the Grey Wolf ship, but we found a trace of their powered armor. They are currently at the center of the human-elf continent."
Hearing this, the captain smirked. "No surprises there. These elves are always causing trouble. Head directly to the signal."
"Yes, captain."
The ship then flew directly towards the target before descending from the sky on top of the large city. The biggest one in the entire continent.
"Scan for threat analysis."
"Yes, captain."
This particular scan took them a while. It would analyze any living lifeform and technological advance within such vicinity. When the data came out, the captain was a little surprised.
[Threat Level 3]
After seeing the threat level, the captain turned slightly tense. He look upon the Major next to him and said,
"Do you have anything to share before we proceed, Major?"
The major shook his head and at the same time, they saw a dozen incoming targets came towards them.
"It\'s a low-level bird type monster with fighters rank 6 to 8 riding on it, Captain."
The captain can see a group of humongous flying eagles with people riding on their backs from the glass view of the bridge.
"Captain, what are your orders?"
The captain took a deep breath; he knew what he should do. A Lower Realm world, with a kingdom where humans lived alongside the elves, must be dealt with decisively.
The captain even saw that three elves were among the group of fully armed individuals that came approaching on top of the eagles.
"One of them came to approach us Captain, a saint realm individual."
The captain stood up from his seat, a slight smirk on his face. "Light it up."
"Yes, captain! Activating the rail gun! Fire!!"
