Chapter 333 - New team.

"You must always obey my orders; I don't give a damn about your opinion of my orders or the missions we are going to do. If you guys open your mouth to speak it better be an intelligent comment like something I didn't notice, the enemy or target is on that side, I think this is poison, we're being followed things like that."

"If you open your mouth on my mission to complain about some stupidity, I'm going to hit the noisy idiot, we are a unit formed for rapid response, tracking, mobility and elimination. Apart from me and Quinn who have strengths in defense and support, this team is completely offensive, as your leader I will protect you always blocking the biggest danger, but it is up to you to eliminate our targets and any obstacles."

"Each of you will be given a position on the team and a codename, these codenames must be used in front of our targets and remember to keep your face covered as well, even if our intention is to kill them and not capture them. You may not know it, but to many enemies who may be able to retrieve the sight or sound of a dead body, necromancers are keen to use the dead to their advantage."

"Hiding your identity is not only important to protect you from retaliation, it is important to protect the entire group from being identified when we are not on a mission."

Ana pointed at the red-haired mage.

"Let's start with the introductions, your family names are not useless and should not be used in public or closed meetings, if you are not in a completely protected barracks and your full name is mandatory to do something do not use it. Breaking this order is a serious offense so be careful and try not to divulge any information that could be used to trace your origin, we cannot always know who is listening to our conversations."

"My name is Ana and my codename is Escudo, this codename is very simple and straightforward. I chose this form so as not to make the aliases too difficult for you to remember, to set too many rules in your little heads for me to burden you with fake names and complicated aliases. My earth and wind element, as I said before I am the main defense of the team the rest of you are all capable of defending yourself under normal circumstances, I know this because this is one of the requirements for you to join this unit."

"The red-haired mage is Quinn codenamed earth she has the same elements as me, she specializes in support spells and environment alteration. One of her main roles on the team is to help make the environment become our advantage or disadvantage to our enemies, this is explaining so much for changes in terrain for ambushes, defensive forts and shelters that we can use during the mission. I hope none of you have a problem with claustrophobia, we can spend a lot of time underground."

"The second mage is Tania alias Blast because she loves to blast any target, she has the element of fire and wind she is our large-scale damage source on the team. Do not underestimate her for her delicate face and the stereotype of fragile mages who can harm and not only protect them, Tania more skilled than me in unarmed combat, but she may even be a good opponent for you, Ulric."

"We're done with the mages, warriors we've got a lot of you and their role is basically the same apart from one of you. The brat with the spear is Nolan alias the spear he has the fire element, wind and can use the lightning element, impressive for being able to use an elemental combo, but it's not a big deal on this team, you're not the only one who can do that here."

"The idiot with the unnecessarily large sword is Luke codenamed vanguard, he has the fire and wind elements and is basically our weapon against enemies with uneven defenses, he is an expert at concentrating explosive power to break through strong defenses. The second brute is Abel codename light because he has the light element is and fun to call someone his size light which is a cute name like Abel, I think I could get away with getting a cool codename like destroyer or war?"

Poor thing, Ana will really enjoy hanging out on this guy.

"That won't happen here, Abel, he's basically brute force to break through strong external defenses. I hope you're able to control your light well enough not to be a beacon at night, because if you can't do that, I'm going to kick you out of this unit. We may not be a unit that specializes in stealth attacks like assassination, but we also have to have a good level of discretion."

"The clay hair over there is Fim codename knight he has the element fire and wind, after me he and who has the best defense to intercept violent blows as his shield is not an ornament, I have tested him before to be sure. His main position was to protect the female mages and then be a secondary attacker."

"Now let's go to the competent warrior on the team besides myself, let's start with Carmilla codename water as you can guess if you don't even have undisclosed brain damage, she has the element of water and wind. She is an expert in dueling her main role is to attack the easy targets of the enemy formation or block any enemy troublesome attackers, after all you are the only one besides me who has a green core."

"But because you're still wearing a hood to hide your face, do you think you'll be able to hide your face for several months from your mates? Hope you're not wearing a mask too? It's pretty stupid to do that, you know how much wearing a mask makes you stand out in a crowd."

Carmilla pulled back her hood revealing short, light blue hair and a white mask, and as she took the mask off, she looked embarrassed.

"I know some of you might be excited and think this unit is going to do cool missions, but don't be too excited. I might give you a few points for being prepared, but they all go away and I might even take a few extra ones to show how you made a huge mistake."

"You will wear a mask to hide your identity when we attack our targets or mine a moment of risk during some missions, but you cannot wear them all the time because that would give away who we are. Not hiding our faces can have its downsides, but it's still less than wearing the masks all the time we're not a secret assassin unit."

"So, avoid dressing like an elite unit, many of you wear leather armor that doesn't look too flashy, Abel you have to make your armor less shiny, those shiny, light metal scales draw a lot of attention."

"Pretty girls like me should wear hoodies more than men so that we get a lot of attention from perverts, but you also have to be aware of not looking too suspicious by covering your faces too intensely, we should show up. a weak group of adventurers so avoid releasing your auras or elemental energy in public for any reason."

"Last is him and really more important than the rest of you so he's left for the end, he's the one with the weakest core of all of us. Ulric codenamed wolf, he has the element of fire and wind and is able to unite them in the element of lightning is he and much better than you Nolan."

"As you can see, he carries both different blades and a bow and many different arrows, apart from the mages he is the only one on the team who can attack from a distance and as far as his record shows he has good destructive power in his arrows. But he does it by spending a lot more money on his ammo than sheer skill, he is our unit's tracker and second in command."

"If I'm unavailable or somewhere else at a bad time, dangerous or where an important decision has to be made, he's the person in charge. This isn't a discussion it's an order from the high command, he was selected for this position just as I was selected to be the leader of this unit. Yes, I fully agree with the high command."

"Your pride in being an elite may be being hurt right now by having to obey someone you think is weaker than you, which he tends to be, but I and the high command don't give a damn about that. You are no longer students, adventurers or nobles you are soldiers of the realm and you must behave as such, the chain of command is extremely important."

"Those who are in a higher position than you will have more power of command and will know more than you about important information for the entire realm, but this is not easily gained or maintained. Remember that you must always be vigilant, if Ulric or I do something that you think harms our realm it is your obligation to tell your unit superiors or officers of other divisions when you are out of combat it is not mine on a mission."

"Well, now that you all know each other better or well enough not to be completely ignorant of your companions' strengths and roles. Now let's go to our first mission, it will not be easy and I hope that not one of you dies because of being weak or because of a mistake of one of your companions."
