Chapter 38 Two Sudden Strikes part one (1/2)

A few hours later Nix arrived at the Trifelez platform, from there it was only a short ride to camp.An unexpected dark beauty was waiting, her full lips curved in a smile when she saw him.

”Sharl!”Nix offered her a hug and then stepped back to greet the rest of the Daybreakers, most of them he already knew.

Sharl responded to his big smile. ”Missed you too, Nix.”

He pointed to tent city.”That's where we sleep, the mess tent is right next to it.”

”Ronnie tells me you guys are really kicking ass.”

He favored the younger sister with a nod, ”for once she isn't exaggerating.Follow me to the TOC.”

Sharl followed him into the TOC after directing the rest of her people to stand fast.Wind, Jun Li, Semmi and Mina were sitting around a table talking.

Nix noticed that Wind had come back.”The stone is gone isn't it?”

Wind nodded, ”no one had even noticed until I asked about it.”

Nix pulled a chair out for Sharl and then sat down himself.”The Daybreakers are going to join us for the next two raids.”

Jun Li smiled at Sharl, she had seen the Daybreaker in action before.”Welcome back.”

”I think we should hit Neptia right now, and consider a joint mission into Valis.”Nix figured that the statement would meet with some resistance.

Instead, Semmi nodded in agreement. ”We spoke to the jeweler that mounted the black diamonds onto the crowns. Removing them takes some time, Neptia is without a doubt the most difficult to steal.”

Nix brought up a map of Rhatia, the capital city of Neptia. ”We airstrike it hard, hit the castle with everything from the roof and ground at the same time.”

Wind pointed at the channel that ran the length of the walled city.”The ground team can come in here, me and Semmi with stealth directly to the Throne room and attempt to stall any removal action.”

Sharl stared hard at her scout. The usually quiet Wind was thriving in this small raid group. ”I can lead the ground assault.I brought a half dozen fighters with me, four of them are mages.”

Pon and Banza chose that time to enter the TOC, both of them had come to see their guild leader.The old fire mage took a seat on the other side of her while Banza stood behind Wind's chair.

Nix considered their last mission where they were able to pick up several stealth bracers for Aquarions.”Mina... you should take a stealth team directly into the throne room of Valis and attempt to secure the crown.”

Jun Li didn't bother to hide her surprise.”You want to hit Neptia and Valis at the same time?

”We can put six stealthed Aquarions in the Throne room, with their combat strength they will be able to hold it.”Nix glanced at the Aquarion leader, ”I'll come with you to reinforce your Vila.”

An hour later Nix was in tent city, surrounded by members of the Souza Accord.He had friended each of them and was attempting to customizing one of the enhanced wolf masks for Aquarions to use.

Mina watched him as he worked.”Are you sure this can even be done?”

Nix nodded, ”I think so.”The beastmaster artifacts have to be a version of the Ricoli artifact that was customized for human use.” After several attempts at creating a new recipe, he met with success.He placed several more in the crafting queue.Within a few minutes, he handed the first one to Filamina.

Enhanced Wolfman Mask[Aquarion]

Enables Nightvision, enhanced

hearing and +5 to all stats.

Custom Made for Filamina.

Crafted by Nix.

Mina slipped the mask on, immediately gasping in surprise.”I feel strength surging through me.”She removed it a moment later.”So if the crafter's skill is high enough, they can use the customize option to switch from one race to another.”

”You should keep the mask on Min, it's a good look for you.”

*****************

Shortly after Midnight, the first group's ground assault team, consisting of Pon, Sharl and the mages from the Daybreakers guild, closed in on the castle.They were flying low through the channel and had managed to enter the city without alerting anyone.They came up out of the channel quickly and hovered above the Courtyard.

There were three beastmasters in the courtyard, outside of the castle entrance.Sixty wolfmen prowled the courtyard, the musty smell, and growls of canines lingering in the air.

Pon came in hard and leaped from his manta to the doorway of the castle.

The rest of the mage-heavy group landed and started laying down AE effects, the stench of scorched hair was pungent enough for Sharl to pull off her wolf mask before equipping her shield.She moved to the front and protected the mages behind her.

Jun Li led her group from the top floor, they weren't bothering with to hide their arrival.Semmi and Wind were stealthed in the middle as group members continually peeled off to defend, leaving the two scouts to continue their route to the throne room.

Wind was the first to enter, the King was sitting on his throne, his face as white as snow.”You seek the crown of Neptia?There is nowhere you can hide if you leave this room with that crown.”

Darsi scowled, ”Oh shut up you idiot.I just need to remove this damn jewel.”There were three beastmasters in the room, two of them had summoned their beasts.

Semmi was stunned when Wind decided to unstealth in the middle of them, for a moment the entire room seemed frozen in time.A small movement on the scout's shoulder announced the arrival of the tiny gecko.
