263 Delivering the Mission
Steve had read all of the military information and had come to a conclusion. "The demons are going to use all of their strength to attack Stanlos Base Camp."
This was a very serious matter! The data above showed that the demons had gathered a large number of troops at the border, while they sent scouts to constantly map out the Magical Beast Mountains, looking for ways to break through the humans' defense.
"This matter is very serious. We must report it as soon as possible!" Steve said, while he collected all of the information.
The seriousness of the matter was beyond his imagination. The demons were clearly ready to devote all of their strength to fight to the death against Stanlos Base Camp.
A key point was also mentioned in these materials. Apparently, there was an unimaginably strong man in Harbolo Base Camp. When the mysterious strong man had arrived, he had forced Harbolo Base Camp to attack Stanlos Base Camp.
As to how powerful this mysterious strong man truly was, the Demon Scout Team did not know, as this information was classified. But, there was no doubt that this mysterious strong man was very, very powerful, as he could even directly command the entire Harbolo Base Camp to serve him!
Knowing all of this, Steve returned to the base as quickly as he could. This mission had required him to kill at least 10 original-level magical beasts, but he had already killed more than 100 original-level magical beasts.
Thus, he was already over the required amount. If it hadn't been for the Ice Tiger Horn and the Violet Ice Water, Steve would have returned long ago.
Once he arrived back at the base, Steve went directly to the Mission Delivery Office. The Original Gravity Tower Square was still very busy, especially as these were the last two days before the end of the monthly assessment, so all of the teams that had been carrying out missions had mostly all returned by now.
At the same time, the soldiers were rushing to break through the levels of the Original Gravity Tower. This was because the higher the number of levels of the Original Gravity Tower that they reached would determined the allocation of their resources next month.
The higher the results they achieved, the more benefits they would obtain. This was not only limited to contribution points, but the military base would also give corresponding resources according to the level of the floors reached.
Steve came to the mission hall and said directly to the waitress named Lauren, "These are the original-level magical beasts that I hunted."
He then placed a capsule in front of her, which was full of evidence of the magical beasts that he had killed. At the same time, he also presented the video of his process for hunting the magical beasts.
Lauren smiled as she received Steve's submission and said, "I'll review the mission now. Please wait a moment."
She submitted the two items directly to the Original Gravity Tower's main detection system. It was not long before the projected video showed the data information.
"Original-level magical beasts that were cut down: 173. Among them, there were three Crane Insects, 83 Ice Tiger Magical Beasts, seven Elite Ice Tiger Magical Beasts, and one King Ice Tiger."
When Lauren saw the data, she couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow.. 173, and the King Ice Tiger! I've heard that the basic cell value of the King Ice Tiger had already exceeded 420 points. Even the top 10 veterans dared not hunt it! Steve, I remember you're still a recruit, aren't you?"
The above data was so impressive, only she was allowed to see it. After all, if it were to be circulated around, it would probably cause a huge sensation.
If it weren't for the fact that the Original Gravity Tower's Main System could never be wrong, Lauren would have wondered if Steve had cheated somehow. However, she quickly calmed down. After all, regarding the soldiers' mission data, they had no right to publish the data on the missions that they had accomplished unless the soldiers themselves wanted to publish it.
"This is your reward for completing the mission... A total of 2,423 contribution points." Lauren gave the contribution points to Steve.
Steve took both the contribution points and the submitted magical beast materials, the latte of which would be returned to the soldiers after verification.
"I made a major discovery in the course of my mission, and I want to meet with the high-level personnel of the military base to discuss it," Steve said solemnly.
"An accidental discovery?" Lauren frowned, as any accidents that had occurred during the mission must be reported.
She said, "What level of significance is the thing that you've discovered? In other words, which level of senior management do you want to report to?"
"The highest management personnel!" Steve said solemnly.
Lauren's face grew even more grave. As nobody would joke about this kind of thing, she immediately went to report it. Soon, the answer was given by the higher management personnel.
"Chief Instructor Wendy wants to see you. She's waiting for you right now." Lauren opened the channel and let Steve in.
"Thank you very much," Steve said.
As lot of information about the military base was stored inside the mission hall, it could not be accessed by just anyone. Steve knocked at the door after he had arrived at the highest-level office.
"Come in." Chief Instructor Wendy's voice came from inside.
Steve opened the door and went in. He saw that Chief Instructor Wendy was reading the information on his mission and he immediately saluted her.
"I heard that you wanted to see me because of something important?" Chief Instructor Wendy looked at Steve questioningly.
"Yes, Chief Instructor!" Steve's face was solemn as he gave a detailed account of the Demon Scout Team.
After listening to Steve's report, Chief Instructor Wendy's face grew grim and she frowned. "So, it seems that the demons are going to make a big move. We've also recently heard that they have gathered more soldiers on the battlefront."
"Chief Instructor, I also learned some military secrets from them." Steve handed her the smart bracelet.
The information inside it had been re-encrypted by him according to the technology of the demons, and there was no sign of it having been unlocked at all. So, Chief Instructor Wendy would not be able to spot any telltale signs, even if she carefully perused the bracelet.
"This smart bracelet has been encrypted multiple times using the demon encryption method, and it's not easy to crack it. However, it also reflects its importance." Chief Instructor Wendy's expression was grim. They might be able to get a lot of important information from the smart bracelet...
During this recent period, the human military base had been aware of the anomaly on the demons' side, but their actions were too mysterious and secretive, so the human beings hadn't been able to figure them out, much less find any clues about them.
It was also because of this that the human camp had not been able to find any ways to deal with them. As such, they never knew what to do when facing him, which left them in a defeated, passive state. If they could get a lot of information from this smart bracelet that Steve had just given them, it would be a great help to the human camp!
"You've done a good job. We'll give you a reward based on the information that is found within it. At the same time, we'll apply for an additional reward for you now, as this is a significant thing." Chief Instructor Wendy patted Steve on the shoulder.
"Thank you, Chief Instructor. I have one more thing to bother you with, however..." Steve said.
"What's the matter?" Wendy asked.
Steve then told her about the Theodore team and Brandon's family.
After she listened to his detailed account, Wendy said, "You can rest assured that Brandon's death was an accident. We will even issue an official statement regarding such."
Wendy then nodded to him, and Steve was instantly relieved.
