1656 The Work Of Opportunists?
[Come in, Alcatraz. This is A0-52 calling in. The mermaid has legs! I repeat! The mermaid has legs.]
"Copy that, A0-52. Assist the others and move to phase 2."
[Copy that, Alcatraz. Over.]
Tut...
Several men and women with headphones on were working tirelessly in an open military vehicle.
The vehicle was designed like a small moving van, except it had computers and electronic devices stationed in all corners.
Above the van were solar panels that proved most useful in Omania, seeing as the boiling sun gave enough electricity to power several computers. Of course, most devices used Radio frequencies.
The van was the control center for all operations and was named Alcatraz.
After getting word from all teams, one of the men quickly deployed a countdown via Walkie Talkie.
[5 minutes Phase 2 initiation.]
Everyone should round up their activities fast.
Got it. Many inwardly nodded, becoming fierce with every passing second.
And not too far from Alcatraz, Landon, Lucius, Artemis, Payne, and several others, calmly checked their weapons and gears once more.
This was it!
This was the big moment they'd been waiting for.
Artemis, Payne and the other Giants trembled, thinking of all the battles they fought to push their way to this final scene.
After leaving that Coastal city, they fought in over 21 other cities before finally reaching the Capital.
Mind you, after leaving that coastal city, Landon sent several people in direct directions, be it east, west and so on.
The plan was to work their way to the capital from every direction.
Of course, they were the first group to arrive at the Capital, and they made it just in time.
Artemis was thankful for his luck. At the same time, he had immense hate for these intruders who left heavy trash of blood wherever they passed.
You have to know that they killed and destroyed so many famous and powerful Soma armies, that would leave their empire vulnerable to other enemies in the dark.
Luckily for them, Landon would be their ally once the treaty was signed.
After spending so much time with Landon, he had a good inkling of what this treaty entailed. To be honest, there was nothing harmful to Soma.
From the teary, he saw I would be Baymard losing. However, since Baymard's goal is world peace, it meant everyone was getting what they wanted, no?
Like so, things seemed to move as planned for the Baymardians. However, the same couldn't be said for the pitiful Adonis followers.
.
~Crack!
Kardinal Everett swept the items off his table in rage.
"Who? Who is it?! Who is trying to eat up the fruits of our labor?"
That's right!
They didn't believe Soma had such a powerful alley. Please!
They had done their homework and knew all allies that could potentially help this wretched place. So there was no way in hell that these intruders were Soma's allies.
This led to the conclusion that they were a group of opportunists hiding in the dark, watching them work hard to kill and take over Soma, only to come in the end to eat the fruits of their labor.
Shameless! Shameless!
Everett was so angry that he almost had a heart attack and passed out. What was so annoying was that every few seconds someone would run in before with something to report.
"Kardinal, it's not good! They've stopped our siege on the city's gates."
Kardinal! Kardinal! It's not good! They've killed Holy Monkard Ignatius and I dare say all his men."
"Kardinal! Kardinal! It's bad! They have strange weapons that can kill a person from a far distance... and it's not an arrow!"
"Kardinal! Kardinal! Their black powder is too strong!"
Kardinal Everett felt his ears ringing, watching so many people come and go as they pleased. Seeing another person rush in, he immediately lost it.
"What? What? What is it now? Do you want to report that they can fly? Or do you want to report they can chew iron? Can you all give me a moment's time to pray and think? Huh? Will it kill you?!"
Yes. Many inwardly retorted, hearing the eerie screams of their comrades from afar.
Every second spelled death. So yes. It would kill them.
Of course, they dared not contradict the Holy Kardinal, seeing as he was the closest one to Adonis now.
After all, if they want to escape today's deadly fate, they must rely on the Kardinal to perform his miracle and take them out!
Still, the messenger was aggrieved seeing as he was getting an earful from the Kardinal for something Holy Monkard Cletus sent him to do.
"Well, out with it then? What do you have to say? It better be good, or I'll grind your bones to dust once we emerge victorious. Now speak!"
"Well, well... Holy Kardinal... We have been surrounded."
"_"
"Idiot! Why didn't you say so sooner? Quickly! Quickly! Pass on my message to the others! Behind 2-4-2 for nations around the central camp! They haven't gotten there yet so we still have time to make a defensive-..."
Kardinal Everett hadn't even finished his sentence when a man covered in heavy blood ran in unannounced.
"Kardinal! Kardinal! Kardinal!... it's bad! The intruders have breached the central zone!"
"You odio-"
BOOM!
Everett was flung back from a strange power that emitted a scorching heat far stronger than the sun.
The force was so strong that he almost broke his back on a tree just behind his tent.
"Get off me!" Everette exclaimed, seeing as he and several men were now entangled within the massive tent that fell on them.
As the lead commander here, his tent was extremely huge, consisting of a meeting space, his bedroom space and small private training space.
There were ushers cushions everywhere, and signs of good living to make one feel they were in an Arabian Night movie.
But when the force came it uprooted the whole tent, even burning some places too. And now Everett was swimming within the tent and its ropes that were binding him.
The most painful thing was the constant ringing noises in his ears caused by the strange force.
Blood oozed from both ears, as he finally wiggled his way out by creating an opening with his sacred dagger.
However, what greeted him was the sight he would never forget in a hurry.
"You?"
