Chapter 131: 127. Strength of their own team
His dark eyes gazed at Dexter and his group the moment they entered into the office.
"You summoned us sir." Tracy was the first to talk.
"I just got a report that you guys refused to partake in defending the camp. Is that true?" Kabal asked as he put his elbows on the table before resting his chin on his hands.
"No. It's not true." Jude replied.
"Yeah, we were just a bit shocked at what was happening." Hannah said.
"Tsk, you've heard it sir. They aren't even competent on the field and are too frightened to fight." The woman in the uniform sneered as she gazed at Dexter who was just looking at them with a bored expression.
"And what's your say in all of this?" Kabal looked at Kila.
"Well... I think that we were put on the wrong team." Kila said and Kabal furrowed his brows as they were giving direct answers, but without explanation.
"Dexter, do you mind explaining what happened?" Kabal looked at Dexter who was lost in thoughts.
The annoyed woman crossed her arms as she was eager to hear his excuse of an answer.
"Oh, yeah. Actually, the team you put us in were too weak overall. If we had joined the fight, our attacks might hurt the rest of the soldiers." Dexter explained with a calm and straight face and the soldier woman got angry.
"That's ridiculous. That's your excuse?" The woman retorted.
"Woman, you know nothing about me, you know nothing of what I've been through, you don't know any of us as we only recently arrived, and you think what I said was ridiculous." Dexter said and before the woman could say another word, Kabal intervened.
"Let's all call down about this. You guys aren't satisfied with the team I put you, then you'll have to prove your strength to be on a stronger team." Kabal said and Dexter shrugged.
"You seem quite confident." Kabal smiled at Dexter's personality.
"I know what I can and can't do." Dexter replied.
"That's quite the personality you have there." Kabal said and Dexter had no reply to that statement.
"Well, since you guys are so confident, the next wave of monsters would be up to you five alone." Kabal said and Dexter shook his head.
"We don't know the level of threat the next one might be. We might not be able to take it." Dexter said and Kabal smiled.
"Don't worry, another team would be behind you if anything goes wrong." Kabal concluded and the soldier woman ended up leaving there in rage as she didn't manage to convince the Kabal to remove them from the defence team.
But at least, the next wave is theirs so she would be able to see just how good and powerful they are.
"I'm thinking we were even better off on our own." Tracy yawned.
"Yeah, but the boats are in this camp somewhere. We just have to explore and find the sea port." Hannah said as she put a finger on her chin.
"Lily and Collins must be frustrated that they don't get to be in the action. They'll be perfect to locate the dock." Dexter said and the others agreed to what he said.
...
That afternoon was unlike any other. The others had to stay out and wait for the next two hours before the next beast tide but how long did they want to wait.
Dexter was already getting impatient, instead of sitting down doing nothing, why not just go and do something in the mean time.
"Let's head over to the cafe. The attacks don't seem to be happening anytime soon." Dexter said as he stretched.
They have been lurking outside of the building for more than two hours and yet nothing has happened.
'The peoole that stayed around said that the attacks happen at a two hour to three hours interval.' Dexter thought as he very much timed it and nothing happened the entire time.
...
Back at Kabal's office, he turned to the green haired woman who stood behind him in silence the entire time and then he asked.
"What happened, Venina?" Kabal asked, looking at the woman behind him who gave him a confused look.
"You were staring at That young man, Dexter, the entire time." He said.
"Yes, I've seen him before. After a defence round. " She said with a nod.
"He jumped down from the ceiling of the hospital without any hesitation and landed without an injury." She said and Kabal's brows raised as he nodded his head.
"Now, that's interesting. It's nice to know that we have people capable of fighting seventh classes in the camp. Our survival chance just increased." Kabal said with a genuine smile as he relaxed on the bed.
...
It wasn't long after the alarms sounded again. Dexter looked at the others who were sitting around the cafeteria table and they all groaned in frustration as they stood up reluctantly, all except two people of course.
"I don't like how we're just grounded here." Lily grumbled.
"Yeah, me too. But we have our own task so we should just eat quickly and get ready to carry on with the mission." Collins said and Lily sighed before eating the food with an angry expression.
...
Dexter walked towards the gate quickly along with Jude, Hannah, Tracy, and Kila who had a bored expression.
They looked forward and saw over a hundred creatures coming from the front.
The base they were in was quite peculiar. It covered the entire periphery and was elevated so the creatures which were climbing the little mountain to get to the fence were there too.
"Kila, Jude, get the ones climbing the fence." Dexter said and Jude equipped his sword while Kila cracked her knuckles.
Jude held a long silver sword in his hands and Kila just ran towards the left while Jude took the right.
With their ability as vampires to scale walls, they would be able to deal with the creatures who were climbing.
Dexter turned around and smiled at Tracy and Hannah before zooming forward.
"Let's go!" Hannah said with a chuckle as she ran forward towards the creatures.
