Tom was riding in the back of the car and in 10 minutes he would arrive at the Cestle front. The soldiers who had come with them were now fighting a wolf-like beast and Tom did not interfere but left the problem to them.
After 10 minutes they arrived at the Cestle front, it was a bay overlooking the sea, surrounded and the monsters could only come in one straight path.
The walls were made of a very hard metal and were lubricated daily with a slippery liquid, so the monsters couldn't climb them and make their way through.
Tom went to the tent he had been given and set up his armor and so on, and then he went to where his team was.
A red-haired man with 2 swords on his back was sitting in the middle of a group of 30 men giving instructions.
When he saw Tom approaching he said yes guys this is Tom wan he is a mercenary newly assigned to our group he has been assigned to help us for 10 days Jac the regiment commander said he has high stamina and fighting skills I hope you all get along well.
Tom approached the group and nodded to everyone and one of the members said "Hey vampire I heard you were crazy but I bet your sergeant is not as pretentious as your reputation"
Tom wasn't born with red eyes, in fact he had brown eyes at first, but as he grew older they started to turn a lighter shade of red. His family went to a doctor, but the doctors could never figure out why, and by the beginning of the apocalypse Tom's eyes were now a bright crimson color.
One of the other soldiers said "hey Earl man, if you're so curious you want to try it" and they all started laughing and Earl said "you bastard how could you mess me up"
There was another burst of laughter and Tom saw that this group was quite joking and friendly, but he had a high perception of people and he had seen the battlefield in 1 test.
He could see that this was a trait that these people had developed just to relax and get over their nervousness.
The red-haired soldier held out his hand to Tom and said "Nice to meet you, my name is Ferguson" and Tom shook it.
Ferguson said "Our time is coming everyone take your places Tom you will fight with me on the front line I hope you are as good as they say".
There were two groups on this front, one was Ferguson's group and the other was the group of a team captain called Kane, they guarded the front in the evenings and Ferguson was in charge of guarding the front from morning till night.
Tom' nodded and moved to the front of the group, a group of wounded men could be seen coming from the opposite direction, they nodded to each other and swapped places.
Tom could see the monsters coming ahead and immediately recognized them in his head
Sea Wolves
Appearance: Huge wolves with scaly skin, fin-like dorsal ridges and gill slits. Their tails are long and agile like sea snakes.
Ability: They use their claw mouths and tails to fight, they store seawater in their stomachs and can fire 3 shots as fast as a bullet without having to find a water source again.
These monsters were quite troublesome, Tom rushed to one of them and felt the monster's stomach and throat moving and skillfully dodged the monster's water attack and charged at the monster.
He sent 10 slashes at the monster with his quick slash technique and the monster used its tail to block them but this left it open. Tom skillfully used his dark attack and combined slash ability and cut the monster's throat in one move.
He then ran towards the other beasts and saw that Fergunson was in trouble, he was fighting 3 wolves and Fergunson saw that one of the beasts froze for a moment when his sword was about to intersect with the tail of one of the beasts, he immediately took advantage of this moment and killed the beast.
Fergunson looked up and looked at Tom, realized that Tom was helping him, smiled and continued to fight.
At the end of an intense day of fighting Tom switched places with the other group and one of the soldiers said come on Tom the army gives us a healing potion for free every day you need it to fight tomorrow let's go and get it, said Fergunson.
Tom saw a line of soldiers drinking the potion Tom took the potion and put it in his bag Fergunson and the soldiers were looking at him Fergunson thought he should give him some advice and said
"The battlefield is not a place for hoarding Tom you have to use it, surviving another day is more important than money and resources, after all if you don't have a life you can't use them.
Realizing this, the soldiers nodded and tried to give Tom advice. Tom opened his bag and took out the Basic potion, no need for that, I have this.
All the soldiers, including Fergunson, had a look of horror on their faces, some with pity in their eyes, some with fear in their eyes, and some looking at him like he was crazy.
"
Fergunson stammered "ohh basic potion Tom you really are as crazy as they say you are you use this once a week so you are really ready to suffer".
Tom said to him "actually I use it all the time" the soldiers started to turn away from him in fear and swore on their ancestors that they would not provoke this psychopath in any way, each of them swore on their ancestors that no one wanted to be killed or tortured in their sleep.
Ignoring the strange looks, Tom went to his tent and drank the potion and after 15 minutes he stood up, the pain getting less and less each time, he could stand up in 15 minutes and Tom nodded his head in satisfaction.
Tom thought about what was happening in the other world, what he would do if the world was in an apocalypse when the test was over, what he would do to help humanity, he didn't have time for such nonsense.
But Tom was 100% sure that there were other planets like this one and maybe they would want to destroy them, but Tom understood the system and the system would not allow them to be annexed by powerful beings.
It would probably make them fight with planets of their own level. Tom made up his mind that depending on the state of the world and the system, when he returned he would have his own subordinates and maybe a kingdom.
After all these thoughts Tom felt that it was too far ahead and decided to go to sleep.
