After tapping various buttons and pulling various iron levers, the soft revving sound of the engine came inside the room.
"Master Damien, the engine is hot, and the ship is ready to sail. Where shall we go?" Kimura Onsen asked.
"East! We are going to Sun Country, Japan. Alright, don't disturb me. Let me take a nap!" Bobby responded. Then he adjusted the seat, making it bend in backward.
Inputting some data of coordinates in the 3D screen in the air projected from an AI attached to the ground, Kimura said, "Aye-aye captain, it's Sun Country then. Von voyage!"
Then the next thing, the ship started flying and soon passed through the spatial dome that was covering the fighting area set by some form of energy array technology
The earlier beautiful park was no more and the large area touching the edge of the city and mostly the outer densely verdant forest also became the victim of the earlier class.
As all one could see was that the entire wide area of land inside the spatial dome now became a barren land with a huge crater the size of a gigantic sea. In the middle of the crater stood three male soldiers that came along with Captain Onsen.
They glanced up at the floating black ship.
Logan Burton asked, "Why is he only tossing us down? Is Captain Kimura going to be fine?"
"I don't know. Let's just hope that she is still fine and Captain Holland is there." Robert Burton replied.
"It's okay, she'll be fine. Didn't you hear earlier that the youth call himself Darhk?" said Crane Burton, an observant one among them.
"Darhk! You mean the Darhk, Darhk our leader?" Robert Burton asked briskly with surprise.
"Yes, and that fella could use the same sword technique as Captain Rolland. So, I believe he's telling the truth. And Captain Rolland is up there to further confirm it." Crane said, explaining.
"Yes, apparently and hahaha, that dude can fight equally with Captain Holland. How cool is that?" Robert Burton, the simplest one among them, said laughing foolishly.
"But hey, don't you forget he killed Gulak Munchi, our teammate," Logan said with a frown remembering the scene of Gulak's head removed from his body.
"Nah, I never considered that guy as a teammate. He always kept bickering with Captain Onsen's every plan and I even caught him swearing foul language and looking at her lewdly." Robert, the simpleton continued, "And even in his last moment, he defied our duty and dared to pick a fight with that guy."
Then he continued, "Guys, I'm quite happy when he died like that. Because I've been snooping after him all this time looking after every move and finishing him myself if he acted on betraying our captain."
The other two were even more surprised as they had never seen this side of him before. They were unaware of this too.
At that instant, a spatial fluctuation occurred in the air just above them and Rolland appeared, dropping down and landing nimbly on the dusty ground.
"Captain Rolland, what about our Captain?" Robert Burton asked.
"Don't worry about her. She's now in good hands." Rolland said, looking at the black ship with a bit of jealousy of Captain Kimura.
Then he turned at them and said with an icy-cold tone, "Children, listen carefully. You can't report any of these incidents to your higher officials, even to those elders. Do you hear me?"
"Yes, loud and clear, sir!" The three responded at the same time.
Captain Rolland said, instructing them meticulously, "And for your report, just say this: a mysterious hooded figure came out and help your target get away. And that mysterious black figure killed one of your teammates. After that my Black Dragon Hunter unit came to the rescue but four of us were killed by that mysterious figure. And about your Captain, just say I took her on a journey to hunt that mysterious assassin. About what happened here today, not another soul should know…. Alright, I'll bring you three to the Infinite city."
Just at that time, Captain Rolland realized something and he said, hitting his forehead lightly, "Ahh, I forgot to give him the Cockpit's password."
Then, just as he was preparing to make another space jump to the ship, its engine revved with a thundering voice and quickly started sailing high above in the sky and soon, it disappeared from their eyes.
"Hahaha," Captain Rolland shook his head laughing and said, "yes, he can figure it out easily as the password has always been his name DARHK!"
Just as he was preparing to undo the spatial dome covering that wide area and recollect that device, with a sound of swooshing, the three soldiers Robert, Logan, and Crane lost consciousness and plopped down to the ground.
Rolland frowned but he still stood still.
In the next instant, a fist came out of nowhere and landed on Rolland's face, sending him flying.
Rolland landed on his feet after flying half a mile from that punch.
Next to him, with a spatial fluctuation, a robust-looking, muscular tall and swarthy skin man appeared.
"Rolland, you're still a disappointment," he said.
"Bull, don't you think your sneak attack is a success? It landed because our youngest is letting you hit him." Another petite-looking man appeared next to them. He said, "Rolland, how have you been? Anyway, it's nice seeing you kid once again."
Rolland didn't even make a peep as he looked down at the ground.
"Kyne, why are you always siding with this fool? This was always and has always been the reason this kid is slacking until now. You pampered him too much." Bull, the beefy man said.
At that time, another figure wrapped with white linens all around his body appeared in front of them.
"Rolland, you have a brief exchange with Young Master Damien. How did it feel?" he asked.
"Cap, it's awesome. After this long time, I feel like I'm having another bout with our commander, Gregory Darhk." This time Rolland responded with a smile. Yes, the three had arrived long ago and watching the clash here secretly.
