The Eastern team, under Lyra's leadership, reached their first mission in a border region. The anticipated side threat was a small group of armed mercenaries with advanced equipment.
Lyra said,
"Our goal is to identify and neutralize the threat. There is no room for mistakes."
The team entered an ambush, and the enemy appeared without warning. A fast and precise battle began; every move of the team was executed with perfect coordination.
One of the new allies said,
"This is real training. Every small enemy is experience for the bigger battles ahead."
Through focus and coordinated tactics, the Eastern team defeated the enemy and completed the mission without serious casualties.
Lyra took a deep breath,
"This is just the beginning, but it proves that our unity and coordination can overcome threats."
Meanwhile, the Northern team and other groups were also engaging side enemies, preparing for larger battles and more serious global threats.
