He quickly added:

"I know, we haven't joined the Alien Species Information Sharing Program yet, but I hope you can share some information with us regarding this incident."

"This is also an opportunity to show those who oppose this plan its necessity... I believe that with facts in front of them, they will eventually shut up."

Valdis's words were reasonable, and the logic was clear.

I know I'm not part of your faction, so I don't expect you to tell me too much. Just tell me how to get through this situation.

Afterward, I can use the facts to prove the opposition wrong and facilitate the accomplishment of the Alien Species Sharing Plan.

Dane pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

Actually, these things aren't really secrets. If they thoroughly investigate, they could still pick up some information.

"Alright... Regarding the Alien Species, they are special creatures from the Other Dimension, covering many species and forms. What we've seen so far is just the tip of the iceberg."

"When Alien Species come to our world, they usually use two methods."

"The first is traversing through randomly appearing Dimension Rifts. I'm sure you're already aware of this."

"The second is the scenario you are seeing now, where they arrive in this world through projection."

"Unlike the legends, such projections are not mere images, but real entities."

"According to our observations, the stronger the Alien Species, the longer the projection time required."

"So, we highly suspect that the monster on the Kandokreek Prairie is a powerful Alien Species. According to our estimates, it is at least Fourth Level."

"..."

Dane briefly explained the basic information about Alien Species, leaving everyone present in astonishment, and they quickly fell into confusion about the future.

"Our observers, based on the habits of those creatures and changes in projection size, combined with the actual situation on the ground, have estimated that this monster's impact range may have far exceeded our imagination, reaching an astonishing fifteen kilometers or more."

"These data have been rigorously calculated, with minimal probability of error. That's why I urgently contacted you and hope you can evacuate to at least twenty kilometers away to maintain a safe distance."

After speaking, Dane said no more, giving them enough time to digest the information.

A moment later, Valdis asked:

"What if we don't evacuate from this range?"

Dane pointed to the monsters within the projection and slowly uttered a few words.

"Just like them."

Everyone was stunned, a cold sweat running down their backs in an instant.

"You mean, the villagers of Outland Village, because they were within the influence range of the Black Mountain Goat, were infected and mutated into monsters!?"

Dylan exclaimed in shock.

Dane nodded to confirm.

Witnessing this, everyone felt a chill in their hearts.

What kind of monster is this—just being within a certain range of it and you become such a terrifying derivative...

Moreover, this is just its projection.

When the actual entity truly descends, what kind of scene will it be?

Will the entire region, or even the whole continent, be enveloped by it?

Valdis couldn't even begin to imagine what kind of situation that would be.

At this moment, he only wanted to destroy this thing as quickly as possible.

However, the other side's projection was just a shadow.

No matter how strong his legion was, could they possibly blow away a shadow?

By now, he began to understand the concerns of the Transcendents earlier.

It seems it wasn't that they didn't understand modern weapons, but that he underestimated these monsters.

"Alright, we can't delay any longer. The Black Mountain Goat's projection is growing stronger, and its influence is expanding. If we wait until the sun sets completely, I'm afraid no one will be able to leave!"

Dane, for some reason, felt annoyed.

Perhaps because he felt he had wasted too much time on this crowd, he just wanted to see them quickly pack up and leave.

The pressure from the Black Mountain Goat was unprecedented for him.

The Star Alliance had never encountered a monster that could affect the surrounding environment with just a projection before it physically arrived.

Not just him, everyone present felt a subtle irritation.

However, most of their attention was on the Black Mountain Goat, so they didn't notice it.

The retreat of the Third Legion started quickly, but their speed was much slower than when they had arrived.

It wasn't that arriving quickly means leaving quickly, especially in a withdrawal like this.

All the temporary facilities previously built had to be dismantled and packed; just this task was a massive undertaking.

There's also various weaponry, equipment, and supplies that need to be loaded.

The location for strategic deployment had to be replanned, turning the command post into a chaotic mess.

Two hours quickly passed, and outside, it was getting close to evening.

From noon until now, the shadow of the Black Mountain Goat had undergone visible changes.

At first, the shadow was very faint; if not for Dane's reminder, Dylan and the others might not have noticed it.

But now, as the sun gradually set, the shadow there had become indistinguishable from ordinary shadows.

Even the most careless person could now immediately see the oddity in it.

And this wasn't the end.

From the high-altitude drone view, they saw the Black Mountain Goat come alive with the descending night.

Its stadium-sized shadow was constantly twisting and moving.

Its color became increasingly deep, eventually appearing as an abyssal void.

Even in the dim moonlight night, it was visibly clear.

"Commander! The target's color density has increased by 378% compared to noon! Damn it! What the hell is this thing!"

In the command room, a scout slammed his fist on the desk after speaking.

He stood up abruptly, his eyes bloodshot, and angrily lifted a chair, smashing it on the table.

"Noel! What are you doing!!"

Dylan snatched the chair from his hand, glaring fiercely at him.

"Damn it! This thing is so ugly! I'm going to smash it! Ah!!!"

The scout roared, then began wanton destruction.

"Bang!"

The screen in front of him shattered under his fist.

Ignoring his bloodied hands, he kept pounding away.

"Stop!"

A loud shout rang out; Dane, in a white Daring Clothes, rushed in.

Two vines sprang from the ground, swiftly entwining the scout tightly.

"Michael! It's you! What are you doing!?"

Dylan looked at the newcomer, his tone unfriendly.

Dane ignored him and, together with Remy beside him, cast the Calming Incantation on the remaining people present one after another.

"You! What the hell are you doing!!?"

Dylan stormed over, furious.

But before he finished speaking, Dane's finger reached between his eyebrows, and the Calming Incantation took effect.

"Calm down; you've all been corrupted by that power. Stay rational! Don't be controlled by the anger in your hearts!"
