The elite squad coming down from the battlefield relied on the presence of their commander and guards, and they were so tired that they went to sleep without caring about anything. Then they were woken up seven hours later and asked to drink nutritional supplements to prepare for the battlefield.
"Huh? Didn't they say we could only rest for six hours? Why are they calling us now after seven hours?" Dean Acheson asked curiously.
"Today, thirteen mercenary groups arrived at Desolate Planet at once. As a result, the situation on the battlefield is no longer tense and we naturally have more time." Instructor Dudley said lightly.
Romannie, Hebrew Adam Waldley and Dean Aitchison's expressions suddenly became serious.
Ruo Manni looked at the two of them and immediately realized that Hua Deli and Dean Acheson also knew that there were puppets among the mercenary group they encountered when they retreated from the battlefield.
Hua Deli always had a blank expression on his face, so it was not surprising that nothing unusual could be seen on him. However, Dean Aitchison, who was always lively and active, had some middle school characteristics and loved to show off, did not show any signs of abnormality at all. Even Ruo Manni could not tell that he was holding back, which really made her look at him with new eyes.
"The news of our arrival at Desolate Planet was spread four days ago. It is said that the number of mercenary groups coming to Desolate Planet has increased significantly in the past two days." Instructor Dudley said.
The implication was that there might be assassins among those mercenary groups who were coming for them. The other members of the elite squad finally realized the seriousness of the matter, and their faces suddenly became serious.
Four days ago, they were still on the military spaceship. Except for Instructors Han Zhengbang, Dali and Hebrew Adam, no one else knew where their destination was. However, the news had already spread outside.
"Could it be that someone on that warship leaked the information?" Hebrew Adam frowned.
"It's not clear yet, but those people don't know our plan and still think we are in the army, so everyone should pretend nothing has happened and stay vigilant. We will retreat if there is any problem. If we leave at this time, we will expose our identity." Instructor Han Zhengbang said.
The elite squad had no objection. As quasi-soldiers out for training, they could not just run away because they felt there was danger. If others found out, they would become a laughing stock and would no longer be able to live as human beings.
Is this the case of there being a tiger in front and a wolf behind? Ruo Manni was a little worried. If those puppets and killers were coming for them, their situation would probably not be good.
Because the beast tide will have a super outbreak in the next few days, their situation is already not good, and with the threat of the puppets, they are likely to be attacked from both sides like in the novel.
At least the hero and heroine in the novel did not have a bounty on their heads, so there was no threat of a killer.
The problem is that the novel does not mention the exact time of the full-scale beast tide outbreak, so Romanni does not have the "prophetic" ability in this regard. However, even if she knew the time of the outbreak, unless she did not mind exposing her identity as a reborn person, she would never speak out her worries.
Ruo Manni had no choice but to tense her nerves and carefully observe whether the strange beasts had any unusual movements and whether there was anything unusual with the surrounding mercenary groups.
Ruo Manni only hoped that the eldest prince really had the ability of "prophet" and could send reinforcements in time before the outbreak. With the current strength of the Desolate Star, it would definitely not be enough to tear apart the strange beasts when the beast tide broke out.
In reality, what made Ruo Manni despair was that she had encountered ten mercenary groups in the past two days, and there were puppets in five of them. If they could do such a big thing, it was very likely that they were really targeting them.
Fortunately, their vests were well covered and there was no suspicion of exposure. It was only then that Ruo Manni learned that there was indeed a very famous Wolf God Mercenary Group in the Gus Empire. The flying ship they used belonged to this mercenary group, as did the clothes they wore, so others did not doubt their identities at all.
Because their vests were well covered, and the Wolf God Mercenary Group was very famous, and they had eight level six warriors escorting them, no one dared to provoke them, and the past two days passed peacefully.
Those mercenary groups with puppets did not act like monsters, but just killed monsters peacefully.
But Rumanni did not let down her guard. The puppets were not that smart, so it was not surprising that they did not discover their vests.
But those killers hidden in the mercenary group are different. They are not on the same level as the puppets in terms of their abilities or intelligence. Ruo Manni has been paying attention these two days, but has not found any suspected killers.
Therefore, no one dared to guarantee whether there were any killers around, whether those killers had discovered their true identities, or whether they had already discovered them but pretended nothing had happened, secretly looking for opportunities to assassinate them.
The first day after the Xuan Gu people arrived at the Desolate Planet passed peacefully, and the second day also went smoothly, but Ruo Manni always felt a sense of uneasiness, as if something was getting tighter and tighter.
As a result, on the morning of the third day after the Xuan Gu group arrived at the Desolate Star, a large number of warships suddenly appeared in the sky. There were really a lot of them, at least five or six hundred, and it was estimated that there were nearly 200,000 reinforcements.
"We have killed so many strange beasts. According to past practice, it will only take four or five days to kill them. Why are you sending so many reinforcements..." a mercenary muttered, and it was obvious that he was afraid that they would not be able to earn any commissions after these soldiers came.
"Don't worry about them. Anyway, the military of Desolate Planet is very generous and trustworthy this time. We exchange the alien beasts we kill for merit points and credit points every day. We are paid once a day. We are not afraid of them stealing the credit."
Instructors Han Zhengbang and Dudley looked gloomy as they watched this scene. Ruo Manni guessed that they had seen something.
Ruo Manni herself was greatly relieved. The eldest prince really had the ability of a "prophet" and actually sent so many soldiers over. She didn't have to worry about the beast tide breaking through the human defense line in one go when it broke out.
After the Xuan Gu people were replaced again and returned to their own flying ship, Instructor Han Zhengbang asked Hebrew Adam: "Hebrew, have you received any information?"
Hebrew Adam nodded. "Three hours ago, I received a message from my brother. He said there was movement inside the Desolate Forest. He was afraid that a large number of beasts would erupt tonight. The situation would be unclear by then. He hoped that we would retreat to the city and wait and see before taking any action."
Instructor Han Zhengbang nodded. They came here to train these students, not to take them on adventures. When the situation is unclear, it is better to avoid the limelight.
Instructor Han Zhengbang immediately opened his computer and submitted an application to enter the city to rest and replenish supplies.
The military did not interfere much with the mercenaries, only requiring them to follow orders. A large number of mercenaries had arrived in the past two days, and the number of exotic beasts emerging from the forest was obviously decreasing. The battlefield was not tight now, so there was no reason to deny such a rule-abiding application. They simply rejected their application for a break from the battle and gave them a permit to enter the city.
Because it was only a little after 1pm on Desolate Planet, and there were still more than five hours until dark. The exhausted Xuan Gu people who had just come down from the battlefield unanimously decided that they had plenty of time, and the situation in the city was unclear. They were not in a good state now, and they were unable to deal with anything, so they might as well take a rest and recover before entering the city.
