章 10: Eileen Stanford

Eileen Stanford, the only daughter of one of the upper-class military families on Mars. She lives with her mother and grandfather in the Southern City and has practiced her abilities at a young age, wanting to follow her father's footsteps to become one of the Generals to protect the planet where she was born.

Eileen plunged into the military world after her ability awakened in the form of electrical elements that she could control at will. Abraham Stanford was her father who was one of the strongest Generals on Mars with a level of strength at [SS Rating]. Unfortunately, he was killed in a great battle against a monster with strength at [SSS Rating].

This incident was quite strange because these lord monsters usually preferred to remain in their territory. A monster like a winged lizard attacked the Azazel City in the north along with a large number of monsters with powers ranging from [A Rating] to [SS Rating]. The death of several Generals and thousands of soldiers combined forces of several cities during the siege had a huge impact on humans.

Now Eileen has grown into a General at the age of nineteen, the youngest General in history, with strength at [S Rating]. Although she only has the strength with the basic conditions that must be possessed to become a General, the achievements she has gained with her troops have impressed many people.

Today she and her squad are training before they get an emergency warning from the headquarters.

"What happened?" Eileen spoke on the interface screen before her, knowing that an emergency warning had been sounded.

"General Eileen, a space monster suddenly came to Mars! And he is about three hundred kilometers north of Stanford! Get ready! More information will be sent to every soldier soon!" Eileen and her squad immediately got ready with their complete units after hearing information from the headquarters.

Eileen accesses information using [Axtia Device] on her neck and check their target data.

A space monster alone is enough surprise to her, given the history of the monsters have come down to Mars several times and even the Earth from the data before their contact was lost. They usually have special abilities that are unexpected and difficult to kill.

A space monster with a very large size and a body resembling a pangolin with a stone body flying towards the city where it is located.

'Danger Level: [SSS] Rating ...' Eileen's face paled in her robot unit after seeing their target information. A monster with the same power as the monster that killed her father.

Her hands trembled but there was a bloodthirsty look in her eyes.

"Lightning Squad! We will buy time before other troops arrive!"

"Affirmative!"

Eileen along with eleven robot units and four fighter jets advanced into battle to buy time before other troops came to help and launch the final attack.

'I will kill you! Just wait!' Eileen felt a deep grudge because of a monster of this caliber who had taken the hero from her life forever.

After arriving at the location, they saw the monster coming towards them. Then Eileen aimed her long-barreled weapon and channeled the electric power whose explosive power was strengthened again using [Mystical Stone] on the weapon.

"FIRE!"

The lightning laser energy is fired which is followed by similar laser energy from other robot units and high-explosive missile follows afterward.

*BOOM*

The space monster fell to the ground and was enveloped in thick smoke.

"Black Hawk Unit, check the target state at safe altitude! The Main Unit takes a position within safe distance!" Eileen knew the attack would not immediately kill the monster.

"Affirmative!"

In the smoke, there was a flickering green light which gave Eileen a bad feeling of seeing this. But before she opened her mouth to warn her troops, an extremely hot green beam shot towards the supporting jet fighter that was still circling him.

"Evade!" One fighter jet that was directly hit by a heat ray was destroyed instantly and another one was hit in the engine.

"Bernard!" Doreen the pilot of one of the robot units in the Lightning Force rushed to catch the plane that was falling toward the ground.

"Doreen get back in position!" Eileen shouted but Doreen ignored her and continued to rush toward the falling plane.

The hot beam that was still being fired in a circular direction from the monster was now directed at the jet that was still in its path of fall.

"Bernard! Noo! You! I will kill you!" Doreen saw the jet piloted by her husband explode, she had just married Bernard a few weeks ago seemed to lose her rationality and attack alone disregarding the General's orders.

"Ah! Ah! AAHH!" Doreen attacked blindly against the body of the space monster using her long energy laser sword and had already spent more than fifty percent of her energy supply.

"Black Hawk Unit, step back and be aware of the monster's movements from a distance! Main Unit One, Four, and Five knock Doreen down and bring her back!" Eileen ordered her troops to remind them that their first priority was to buy time, she had lost two units and could not afford to lose any more.

The deep cuts caused by Doreen's attack infuriated the space monster.

*ROAR*

A loud roar was followed by the appearance of several tentacles from the body of the monster and ensnared Doreen.

"Damn! Fire! Fire! Save Doreen!" Eileen with her Main Unit rushed to Doreen and shot the tentacles that were snaring her.

Outer space monsters became even angrier after the tentacles were cut, he then ensnared Doreen's robot unit and slammed it to the ground.

"Ugh! Cough!" Doreen coughed up a mouthful of blood and she felt reappointed, thinking she would be slammed back again, she tried to break free with everything she has.

"Focus on the tentacles! Damn it! Where are the reinforcements !!!" The Doreen robot unit is now broken down and seems to have a tentacle that has a strong corrosion effect.

A ray of green energy flared back from the monster's mouth and shot immediately towards the Main Unit.

"All units gather to the defensive position! Activate the Defense Shield!" Eileen did not want to lose the unit again before reinforcements activated the combined Defense Shield.

The heat ray was successfully deflected by this combined power but their energy was only sixty percent left. What happened next shocked Eileen and her squad, after the heat ray had been fired, Doreen was brought to the monster's mouth.

"No! No! I don't want to die! General Eileen help me!" Doreen, who can't move, begs for help.

*CRUNCH*

"Ah! Ah! AHH!" Doreen screamed in pain from being chewed alive.

"Damn! How dare you!" Eileen who was very upset used fifty percent of her remaining energy and fired lightning laser energy.

But the laser is only reflected from the body of the monster. Eileen who saw this seemed unbelieving and a feeling of hopelessness began to come to her.

"This is impossible... Retreat! All units retreat!" Eileen and her squad could no longer continue to fight with the remaining energy at this time. They retreated from the battle zone, but strangely the space monster did not chase them and appeared to be digging a hole.
