Ido military base
Although lots of students were worried and won't normally be able to sleep, they had to. If they didn't they might ...
Mr akinlabi stood on the rock with all the students in front of him . " There are hundreds of you her but only 11 took my offer well that's your cup of tea (metaphor). Back to the main course. Some of you might not come back but that doesn't have to happen as long as you follow through with your plans and survive. Few years ago we lost about thirty students just because they wear arguing. Be smart, now follow the lieutenants to your gates.
Ido outpost is 30km². If you don't know how big it is imagine four thousand football pitches(soccer. The number one sport) it's has a round structure with 20 gates at equals intervals to each other.
Each squad is to be appointed a gate according to their number. Taking into account how big the outpost is, you'll know for squads with their gates on the other side they would take a lot of time to reach it.
The lieutenants led the students into a chopper and started to drop them off at their designated gates. There are two lieutenant on the ground to brief the students.
Even with thechooper speed, it took about an hour before they were all dropped off.
After ini's team got down from the helicopter they looked at the lieutenants in front of them named adio and Kenneth.
" You would be allowed to enter once we receive the signal. This is to make it fair for all students."
They all nodded waiting for the signal.
After a while they heard lightning but it was going into the sky not the other way around.
" Kenneth smiled saying "that's the signal"
He opened the gate and let them through.
..
Inside the outpost ini looked at them and said " it begins now. Keep your eyes and ears sharp." They nodded and kept progressing forward.
....
Unknown to the students, all clans that had mages in this expendition including the school were watching them. Some wanted to know if their investments were worth it, some wanted to see their progress while two old men were gambling drinking wine.
...
"Ola, there are approximately fourteen thousand squirrels in that outpost. * Burp*
I bet you your boy and his squad won't be able to kill up to five thousand" the lightning God ancestor took another gulp of his wine.
" Whose son do you think he is? I know he can. What do you have to offer?" Ola(ini's father ) also drank.
" We both know his path is dangerous 'burp' I plan on getting him a variant. If I win you pay me back and give me two jars of your wine, but if you win you won't need to pay anything back and I'll put in some extra resources maybe a particular kind of roasted meat. "
" You're on old man 'burp'. I know you want my wine but that suya is worth the risk "
They both started laughing. They are both of similar status so they don't have to act like glorified pricks in front of each other. They can be themselves. This is the benefit of real friendship. Although at their level they can expel the alcohol, they remain drunk to enjoy the wine and the company of a friend.
"Whether or not you have real friends, you know by the kind memories you have together" your write-si_
