Urgency filled her voice only confirming Arkhoz's instinct of an impeccable danger to come.
"I am listening!"
"An even larger storm is currently brewing in your area. It has the same formation signature of a Tribulation of Light but the power is almost ten times the power of the last Tribulation we have witnessed."
"Do you mean a dragon is getting a tribulation just after this one and an even stronger one?!"
"That is what the data is saying in my end. Do you have an idea of these dragon's location? Our system could not detect any other dragon except for the one in your possession at the moment."
"What do you mean you could not detect any dragon aside from this one?"
But before Arkhoz could receive her reply, another voice barged in his communication channel.
"Going somewhere, kids?"
"Who?-"
BOOOOM!~
Arkhoz's ship was hit by a missile that just came out of nowhere. Thankfully, they are equipped with an energy shield that saved them from being turned into a metal scrap.
"Commander, it's the Guardians!" one of Arhoz's men quickly reported.
"Apply evasive maneuver and full speed retreat. We can't fight back with our current condition! Requesting backup from the headquarters now! "Arkhoz immediately commanded.
"I am afraid you won't be reaching your ship kids. We have you surrounded. Surrender now and release that dragon." The intruding voice quickly instructed Arkhoz's team with confident authority.
Arkhoz tried to remain calm despite their unexpected encounter. Arkhoz and his men did not bother to reply to the intruder's request and turned off their communication channel. At the same time, they all shifted to the Mind Channel or simply, telepathic communication.
The only problem with telepathic communication is that they can only talk to one person at a time and is not convenient enough for giving a team command as he has to keep repeating his orders.
And as they have trained for a long time, Arkhoz and his men immediately regrouped to form a defensive position to cover each other's Jet with an energy shield.
BOOM-BOOM-BOOOOM~
More invisible missiles came out of nowhere and were successfully deflected by their slowly depleting energy shields.
These missiles are signature weapons of the Guardian race.
Arkhoz and his 9 other members continued to fly towards the location of their base at their top speed as the unseen forces of The Guardians followed their trail like a hungry tiger hidden in the bushes and slowly draining their energy shields with their invisible missiles.
This is what happens when the DHG blew their cover and revealed their activity to the Guardians.
"Commander, I have more bad news."
"Report."
"Our communication with the Arkhan mother ship has been severed and I could not find their current location!"
