Chapter 3 - Chapter 3: Reconnaissance

The forest below stretched out like a vast green ocean, its dense canopy hiding both threats and opportunities. Wonder Storm tapped the interface on his wrist.

Wonder Storm: System, deploy scouts to the forest perimeter. I want a full reconnaissance report.

System: Understood, Supreme Commander. Dispatching scout units now.

Holographic models of light-footed infantry and aerial drones flickered into existence, moving swiftly toward the forest edges.

System: Scouts are in position. Beginning data transmission.

Moments later, the interface filled with detailed maps, enemy movement patterns, and resource locations.

System:

Enemy patrols detected within the forest—Shadow Coalition units employing guerrilla tactics.

Several resource caches identified, including a small food supply depot and rare mineral veins.

Terrain is rugged, with multiple choke points ideal for ambushes.

Weather forecast predicts light rain for the next 48 hours, reducing visibility.

Wonder Storm: Any signs of larger enemy forces?

System: No significant concentrations detected yet, but the Shadow Coalition is known for rapid, unpredictable strikes.

Wonder Storm: Understood. Prepare quick-response squads to reinforce any threatened positions. Also, mark resource caches for possible future acquisition.

System: Commands acknowledged. Quick-response squads are on standby, and resource sites have been flagged.

Wonder Storm: Keep me updated on any changes. I want real-time intel.

System: Affirmative. Continuous surveillance activated.

As the data streamed in, Wonder Storm felt a surge of confidence. With eyes on every corner of his realm and the power of the Military System at his fingertips, he was ready to face whatever challenges Elyndra would throw at him.
