Charlie arrives at the rooftop with the bullets for the Captain. When he arrives there is another soldier there with a scoped rifle.
Charlie sets down the bullets and goes to the Captains side, while the soldier begins loading and preparing.
“Are you sure that this will work, Captain? If it doesn’t, then we lose valuable time.” The Captain looks out with his binoculars at the demon camp “Oh, I am sure it will work. I also can’t wait to see the looks on those demons' faces.”
At this time the gate of the demon camp was opening to send another attack which was identical to the last. The Captain looks to the soldier that was finishing preparations. “Your objective is to take out the drivers of the vehicles. We have limited ammo, so I expect precision and efficiency. Is that clear?”
The soldier responds “Yes, Captain” getting in a prone position. The Captain then goes back to looking through his binoculars. After a few seconds the gun goes off. From the binoculars the Captain sees one of the bike's drivers fall off. This then leads to the bike tumbling out of control.
The Captain smiles, turning to Charlie “What did I say, I knew it would work.”
As the Captain finished bang of the gun was heard again. After a few minutes, the Captain heard the scream and the demon attacked turned around.
“Charlie, go tell them that the bullets worked. Also, I need as many as they can make, and I want them as fast as they can make them.”
Charlie nods “Yes, Captain” and is followed out by the soldier with the equipment. The Captain looking at the demon camp says to no one “What did you think of that, you big 2 horned…”
After the Captain finishes his insult secession, he goes to meet Gill as he thought of a new idea. When the Captain arrives at the workshop Gill is surprised to see him. The Captain speaks before Gill can ask any questions.
“I had an idea, for increasing the production of the ammo. What if we can use other supernaturals than yourself to supply the energy to make the ammo?”
Gill looks at the Captain before saying “That is a good thought, however we have already tried it. The problem was that it is too delicate of a process for someone without our expertise to do. In the future it might be able to happen, but not at the current time, Captain.”
The Captain sighs, responding “Alright, continue the good work” before walking back out.
During his walk Jace had heard a notification that made him happier than ever. “Ding, killed “Ding, killed 7, one horned demon xp gained 1400. Due to the title effect, xp increased to 1680."
“Ding, you have leveled up” “Ding companion has earned half of level up xp, 3200 xp gained”
‘Lets go, more of those demons died, exactly what I hoped for’. Jace then checks the new statuses.

After a long day for Jace the sun was finally setting. However something was weird, Reaper saw that Jace hadn’t stopped to set up camp, so he spoke up.
Jace turned to Reaper “What? Oh, yeah the sun is setting. Which means I need to set up camp. Yeah, camp.”
After Jace had finished he continued to stare into space completely in his own thoughts. This worried Reaper again as Jace wasn’t just acting weird, he was different. So Reaper did once again the only thing he knew to do, chirp and ask
. Jace turns to him “What, bud? Oh am I fine? Yeah, I just have a lot on my mind today after the safe zone.”
However, Jace while responding seemed to have a forced smile. Reaper then chirps while pointing at Jace's face with his talon. “Are you pointing at my stitches? I am going to wait till we get to the safe house to take them out.”
After answering Jace went back to his thoughts.
During this time the Chief and Investigation head were having a small meeting for logistics and battle reports that they weren't able to do earlier.
“ During the battle we lost 5 men, while 7 were injured. These injuries wounds are light enough to travel and have been treated to the best extent we can. At our current pace we are expected to arrive after first light tomorrow, and the base has been informed. Also, due to rationing our food supply should last us. That should be it, Chief”
The Chief nods “Good” and sends the Investigation head out. After this the night passes peacefully for everyone except Jace.
In the middle of the night after tossing and turning in his sleep Jace sits up in a cold sweat. When he does he sets his head in his hands.
After sitting in the position for a few minutes Jace decides that he needs to do something besides going to bed.
‘What to do? Well, might as well do the old reliable of speeding up my mana tethers’. Jace then practices until he falls asleep sitting up with the throwing knives in his hands.
The next day the Chief and Investigation head arrive at the Base. When they do, the Chief spots the burned wood and missing medical tent.
When they arrive through the gate the Chief doesn’t stop to greet the aid, Medical, or Defense head and says “All of you in my tent right now.”
He then growled in anger “I want to know everything.”
