INJUSTICE: Save Human Or Surrender
#27 Operation Tiberiu (After Midnight Assault)
Clement's POV
"Please move corpse number 02 here!"
"Immediately evacuate the survivors!"
The sound of passing footsteps accompanied by the sound of people chatting to each other was clearly heard by his sense of hearing.
Clement opened his eyes slowly. Instantly he found himself lying in an open tent, his body still limp, but not as severe as before.
Slowly, the energy began to fill up again.
The sun showed up in the sky.
The Greer members were busy passing by carrying members who had died from nightmares. Some of the other members who managed to wake up from their dreams, immediately helped the troubled Greer members.
Clement immediately moved from his position and out of the tent.
"Clement Squad Commander Clement!" call Simas from a distance. He immediately ran over to Clement who was silent staring at him. Breath snuffling.
"I got a report!" he said while handing over a rolled up piece of paper to Clement. "please read!"
Clement grabbed the piece of white paper from Simas's grasp and opened it. Suddenly, Clement's vision rounded to understand every single piece of writing from the paper.
"TIBERIU'S PATH HAS BEEN FOUND"
This letter is from Garrison.
"Where's Lucian?" ask Clement suddenly.
"A—ano in tent number 11 ..." replied Simas.
Clement immediately rushed to leave Simas alone amid the busy Greer team that passed. Simas immediately follows Clement to the tent where Lucian is.
Arriving there.
Lucian had not yet woken up from his sleep. Her body is so hot.
"He hasn't woken up at all?"
Simas nodded. "His body is also heating up and his sweat is bleeding."
Clement immediately covered his face using both of his hands and let out a long sigh.
Beeeps
Suddenly the instrument on Clement's wrist rang and gave rise to a flashing red light. This managed to steal his attention. Clement directly checked the tool and got the red dots gathered in the East gradually disappearing one by one.
Instantly he rushed out of the tent and left Simas with Lucian who was still asleep.
"CLEMENT! THE ORYZA ALLIANCE AND THE YUZU ALLIANCE ARE IN DANGER!" hannah panicked as she watched her laptop screen displaying a map of the Steich region along with red dots there.
"They were ambushed by a group of Levtient race demons!"
Now his mind is again presented with a serious problem again.
"Send them to retreat from the spot!" exclaims Clement told Hannah and her men who were busy lamenting the laptop screen.
"Can't, Commander Squad Clement! They're surrounded!" maxwell panicked.
Clement must again think hard about the siege of the Oryza Alliance and Yuzu Alliance by a group of demons in the direction of East Steich. Cold sweat drenched his body instantly. He had to make decisions quickly and precisely in order for the two alliances to return to a conducive and safe situation. However, the situation was both besieged and there was nothing that could be done.
Except surrender.
"Leave it."
The people in the tent immediately looked at Clement.
"What do you mean?"
"We let them both be surrounded. There's nothing we can do but wait for word from those who are still alive" Clement said.
"There's a way out, Clement! We can't just let them die!" illyana.
"There's no way out, Illyana. All we can do is just stand by while waiting for news from those who are still alive" Clement explained with a long sigh.
"Don't give me a response. Leave it!" continued Clement.
His head was dizzy after facing some unexpected problems in this operation.
What have I done?
A feeling of regret enveloped him.
Ii'm sorry. I can't be a good leader yet.
I don't know what else to do.
Clement evades the tent and returns to visit the comatose Lucian. He fell asleep as if there were no burdens in his life.
Clement looked at Lucian's slightly flushed face from the blood sweat on his forehead.
"Lucian," he called her soft.
There was no response from Lucian. He can only listen to himself.
"Please wake up!" exciting Clement. "My actions don't deserve to be a leader."
"I have put my breath forward."
"I've made a fatal mistake" Clement shed a tear, drenching Lucian's helpless hand. Lucian continued to follow the plot of his dream, regardless of his friend who was now crying beside him.
Clement took a long breath. To put out all thoughts that make him disturbed.
Is this what it feels like to be a leader?
He occupied a chair that had appeared inside this tent. However, only now did he realize the presence of the chair. Suddenly a neatly rolled piece of paper caught his attention.
Traces of Tiberiu have been found.
Clement instantly turned on the holographic light from the tool on his wrist. The device immediately displays a map of Steich that stretches wide accompanied by red dots and orange dots. The orange point is a trace of Tiberiu that was found. This is based on Garrison's observation through the region's radar and directly transmit the information via GPS Clement, as the leader of Operation Tiberiu.
The location is not too far from here and he is heading towards the Northwest. The creature appears to be together with a red dot.
After he knocked on the red dot, it turned out that the man was one of his men.
NICA?!
That thing brought Nica.
This man cannot be allowed!
Both eyes are round. Instantly he instantly turned off the hologram from his tool and rushed out of the tent to notify this important information with the other squad commanders.
But upon arrival outside Lucian's tent, Clement finds a weeping Alexa sitting with Simas and others in one of the members' tent resorts.
Clement immediately approached those who suddenly put on a sad face. Simas realizes Clement's arrival and tells him to sit in one of the empty seats next to him. Clement was sitting in one of the chairs that Simas meant.
Simas' eyes turned red from crying.
"What's wrong?" clement asked confusedly to see his men suddenly crying.
"Louis," Simas seemed to have a hard time finishing his sentence. Tears washed his face again.
"What's wrong with her?" ask Clement who's getting curious.
Don't tell me that ….
"Kissed."
"Huh?"
"Louis is dead" said Simas once again.
His heart stopped for a moment.
Louis is really dead?
Clement's self felt pierced by 1,000 swords at the same time. His thoughts were between believing and not in Simas' statement.
However, such a condition can indeed occur.
However, a strong and brave Louis kept him from thinking.
The moment where he was saved by Louis from the figure of a very creepy demonic creature on a joint expedition yesterday. He made his heart grimace again to remember him. Tears came out of both of Clement's eyes.
Today was very bad for him.
Within a day, he had been given some surprises from God who managed to make the bottom of his heart hurt.
First, Lucian comma.
Second, the Oryza Alliance and Yuzu were besieged by demons in the East.
Third, Tiberiu successfully recorded his tracks and fled with Nica.
And lastly, Louis was dead.
"We got the information from Team Greer after they traced this forest area" Simas explained.
"They find Louis' GPS device and his dagger," Simas immediately gives Clement the item that Louis always uses.
Both Clement's eyes rounded lamenting the two objects. A dagger covered in blood. His GPS device is no longer working. A red blood clot stuck clearly to his GPS device. Clement increasingly grasped the two valuable objects that Louis had become a memory.
Tears of sadness drenched his dagger.
Clement had to stretch his chest and toughen up on the test he got today.
"The body can't be found" Simas said.
Clement patted Simas's shoulder. Strive to stand up for the trials that God has given them.
"It's sad" said Clement.
"Thank you, Squad Commander!" answer Simas. His eyes looked back at the blue sky.
Alexa kept crying. His face was covered with both hands. Clement's heart felt sorry to see Alexa who was so close to Louis during his time in the alliance.
But fate says something else and leaves him alone.
Same is the case with Nica who is in a dangerous situation right now.
"Nica is also missing" Simas said.
"He didn't disappear" Clement said. "He was brought by Tiberiu to the Northwest."
Simas's gaze rounded at Clement.
"Tiberiu's trail was found by Garrison."
"Our mission now is to find Nica back and capture Tiberiu" Clement said with confidence. "We are getting closer to success!"
Suddenly Clement rose from his sitting position and gave a faint smile to Simas who was still silent staring at him.
A smile to cheer up Simas who was stricken with grief. Just like Clement.
You should always smile even when you are sad.
He immediately left Simas and went back to Illyana and others who were busy observing the Steich region radar through their laptops and told important information coming from the white paper and the next mission.
