The Cold Blooded Hunter: Seeker of Peace
58. Canada
Two days later...
The journey of Joko and Alex goes without a hitch after they are mobbed by dozens of wolf monsters and tigers.
And after two days in the desert with the supply of makeshift life, the two finally reached Canada, the territory managed by the Russian Hunter organization, FreedomLight.
The two entered Canada casually, and as the two had already crossed the territory, Joko was shocked by what she saw.
"I've heard a lot about Canada, and only this time I've seen firsthand the most dangerous region in the world..." Joko slightly trembled looking at him.
The condition of Canada cannot be said to be good, everything is almost flat with the ground, whether it is a tall building or just an ordinary house, in other words Canada has been completely destroyed.
"I've heard that in Canada there's one big gate that keeps getting the Monster out, and that's the first gate before another one shows up in Iceland" Alex said, "I heard it from Esterosa who got a guard in the sea around Europe."
"Esterose standing guard in European sea territory? Isn't it dangerous?" Joko cannot forget the woman, he also heard that Esterosa is a Hunter rank SS who uses a firearm in the form of a sharp double-sided sword, "How does she fight the Monster in the water?"
"You should never try to underestimate a woman who becomes a Hunter, they must be average to have other abilities than the ones they show to the world." Alex said, folding his arms, "You should know, Esterosa aside from fighting with the sword, he could also fight with rifles, pistols, knives, spears, and shoot with weapons on ships, what was his name? I forget... Besides, he can also drive cars and motorcycles while shooting."
Joko smiled bitterly, "What a great woman..."
"At least, his achievements in successfully protecting the North Sea of Europe along with five other sailors led to him being promoted to SS rank Hunter, therefore, he could protect the sea territory, the sea, just like Tom Cage who can protect New Washington alone..." Alex stroked his chin, "By the way, Oga Ojisan can protect Honshu island alone..."
"If it's Mir Sveta, he can protect the Russian part of Asia with one more man. Grandpa Bintang was able to protect the Hawaiian Islands from the SS Monster rank attack, that's what I heard that made Grandpa Bintang promoted to SS rank Hunter." Alex added.
Joko is silent, both of them are entrusted a message by Tom Cage to be next conveyed to Mir Sveta, a figure who is said to be able to protect a quarter of Russia alone.
"Am I capable of dealing with it?" joko Gumam.
"Huh?" Alex glanced at Joko, "What do you mean?"
"Ah, there's no..." Joko shook her head, "Where to go?"
"Straight, all the way across Canada has been seen because of the Raid against the Dragon of Destruction some twenty years ago..." Answer Alex.

"Yes, Mir..." Alex raised his hand, "How are you?"
"I'm fine, how about you?" a muscular man wearing only a sleeveless shirt and shorts came up while raising his hand, "And who is that skinny stick?"
Joko's eyebrows twitched, did she look thin in the eyes of the man whom Alex called Mir?
"Ah, he is the strongest Assassin from Indonesia, his name is Joko Taru, commonly called the Red Claw in his home country." replied Alex, "I brought him in because he's the only one I can take from StarSam..."
"OK-okay, I get it..." Mir approached, "So, how about we just talk in my tent?"
"Hemm, may..." Alex Sahut.
"I want to say something..." Mir put down a piece of paper, "I was going to ask Tom to send in if an ordinary military force was led by one or two A-rank Hunters or more, but it seems Tom has sent two Hunters with more than one strength."
"What's wrong?" alex asked, "Is there a problem?"
"Yes, there's a problem..." Mir took down a piece of cloth and connected his phone to a projector machine, "My men gave me a report on the gate in northern Canada..."
He pressed something on the projector machine and displayed a photo and then said, "This is a comparison between the gate of 2311 and the gate of 2321, this year..."
"Well, where did you get this photo?" joko asked, "Have you guys been watching Canada for a long time?"
"Yes, FreedomLight and StarSam have been working together for twenty-five years now, when we realized that the situation was very gripping." replied Mir, "I feel you need to know, so I'll let you know..."
"It's not just FreedomLight, but EasternDragon, StarSam, and IronBlast feel the earth's atmosphere is getting gripping, especially when StarSam's Mark Wei sent a photo gate twenty-five years ago...." Mir displays another photo, "See?"
Joko's eyes widened, his whole life he never saw the gate in black.
"What does that mean?"
"The white gate signifies a city-scale attack, the black gate indicates a state-scale attack, the orange gate indicates a continental-scale attack, and the last is the red gate that indicates a world-scale attack." Mir explained, "So far, only a few cases have been attributed to the orange gate, and the first case occurred in France."
"Ah, about the first arrival of the Monsters?" Joko nodded, "So next? How did StarSam respond to that?"
"No Monster came out of the orange gate, but StarSam did not want to let his guard down. They sent a small army here, and we happened to come, so we worked together to keep an eye on the gate..." Mir ended his explanation, "And after decades, we finally saw a change. Alex, can you see it?"
"Yes, in addition to its enlarged size from the year 2311, its color also changed, the more red..." Alex quivered, "Will the world be shaken by this gate?"
For a moment, he was then reminded by Tom's first goal of proposing Raid.
"Mir, do you have anything that could take us to Iceland?" ask Alex with a serious face.
"Hmm, New Starprize is still parked neatly in his garage here..." Mir replied in surprise, "What's wrong?"
"Did you tell me the first reason Tom put together seven Hunter organizations in America?" ask Alex again.
"Ah, Raid to Iceland.." he then fell silent, "True too! Why don't I keep an eye on Iceland too?!"
Joko gasped and fell silent, not understanding the reason why the two men could be serious, before he realized something.
"Do you remember, Joko? The reason why you and RedWhite went to America?" Alex asked, and Joko nodded.
"Yes, why don't we just try Iceland?" Joko's proposal, and Mir nodded.
"By, I will prepare my army first, which will lead you to Iceland, while I will report this to Tom..." Mir clenched his hand, "If the world's most terrifying gate changes color, there's a chance the other gate will change color..."
