"oh you are faster than I thought boy. I'm glad that you came back, I was worried that your might die over there"
the general was surprised that Krom contacted him earlier than expected moreover he was thinking that Krom might die there but he came back safely
"I guess luck is on my side"
"it really seems like that, even my best men have very high chances of doing there. so did you obtain any information ?"
"yes I have lot of information that might prove useful during your mission sir"
Krom told the general all the information he obtained during the day regarding the daph warriors, location of people and distribution of other daphs in the area
"your really obtained all this information on your own? it's really surprising that you were able to do so much, by the way did you also come to know anything about that big one? "
"no sir, I looked around but did not get a single clue about that "
krom tried to look for that big monster after talking to the imprisoned people but he was unable to find out anything no matter where he looked
"well you have done a really good work, everything you have told us will help us a lot and many people will be saved because of you. For now have a good rest I will contact you again"
"ok sir"
the phone was disconnected after that but rather than texting krom started to hunt for more crystals, but he remained in the area where the phone still had a connection so that he do not miss the call from general
hunting for some time and gaining 5 more crystals he got back to the place and started to absorb the energy from them, even a little bit of strength mattered a lot while surving in the conditions he was in and he did not want to miss a single chance to increase his survival rate. while he was absorbing 4 crystal the phone rang telling krom that it was time for him to know the final plan
"Hello sir"
"Hello krom. so I along with 2 other generals present here have been discussing how to save the people and we have come to the conclusion that we will need your help with that "
"yes sir I will try to help in every way possible, please tell me what you want me to do"
"you know what boy, I really wonder how you got that confidence from. many adults would not even think about doing what you are trying to go right now. ok so the thing is that we will send a few of our best soldiers to you and while we keep that big guy and others busy I want you to lead them to the place where people are captured. from there the soldiers will evacuate them underground through the drainage pipelines they are captured in"
"ok sir but which one should I lead them to. as you already know there are 3 holes to enter the lines and we do not know where that big one is, what is he appear exactly where we decide to go"
"well that would be a problem. you should first wait till we start our attack and when you know where we are fighting you lead them to the one place which is farthest from that spot"
"ok. so when are you starting it ?"
"the soldiers that are to go with you will be dispatched from here in 10 minutes and it will take them around 2 hours to reach you and we will commence out attack after exact 3 hours from now on"
"I understand, I will wait for their arrival then"
"I wish that your luck do not leave your side boy"
"I wish that too sir "
general hung up the call and krom immediately got back to absorbing the crystals, after absorbing all of them he device to have little bit of rest before everything begins
without requiring any said in finding directions the soldiers there even earlier than 2 hours. there were 5 of them fully equipped with weapons and one could tell that they were veterans just by looking at them.
"Hello mr. krom I am Tom, leader of this 5 man team no 6 man team including you. these are Neal, Jimmy, Vivek, and Sam let's all do our best to make this mission a success."
"yes let's all try our best"
one of the man who was introduced as Jimmy came forward and looked at krom
"man I really wonder how you managed to do everything in your own, you are just a boy in your teens"
"well it just happened"
Krom was little awkward answering that, it really was difficult for people to believe that he did all that on his own but they did not know that he was much stronger than he looked
"your all arrived even earlier than expected. what should we do now just wait ?"
Krom wanted to divert the attention from the topic so he. Tom started to think a bit but before he could suggest anything Jimmy same forward again
"I think we should go and inform the people about the attack while we still have the time, it will be easier for us to coordinate then if they already knows the situation beforehand"
"I agree with Jimmy "
"me too"
other 3 agreed to Jimmy's suggestion immediate while Tom had to think for a minute before he also approved it
" but let's inform the general before we move out"
Tom took out his walkie-talkie and idleness the general about their decision or rather he asked the general for permission to act to which the general agreed easily and now they were ready to move out but before that Tom called out to krom and handed him a pistol
"it might come in handy, even if your are not trained in it using this one should be easy"
"he will have to watch out for his aim though" Jimmy said while interrupting Tom again
" then you better be careful Jimmy, do not come in front of him when he used this" Tom replied to Jimmy
"ok then let's go and save some people everyone"
"yeah" everyone said and started moving with krom in lead
