Ch. 2661..2670
Chapter 2661 A False Alarm
Craig and the others slowly eased up their frowns upon hearing the good news.
So it was just a false alarm.
“Hahaha. Everything is fine! It was just a false alarm!”
“That scared the hell out of me. I thought we were doomed!”
Everyone was relieved.
Meanwhile, Zephyr froze on the spot, not knowing how to react.
Just then, the professionals started explaining. “There was an abnormal fluctuation in space! Now research institutes and scientists from all over the world, including Erudia, are searching and studying what was going on!”
“That’s right! The fluctuation was huge. It’s not strange that the monitoring stations got affected!”
The crowed started to discuss.
Craig smiled. “It was nothing then. There’s no need to be nervous. Let’s go back to work!”
He shifted his gaze to Zephyr. “Zephyr, don’t worry. The coastline is safe! The monitoring stations are back to normal too! Those from Sacred Organization were merely predicting. They couldn’t come out with any evidence!”
“But…”
Zephyr seemed to want to say something.
However, he was lost for words in front of the reality.
The monitoring stations were back in operation and there was a perfect explanation for the previous anomaly.
“Zephyr, you should get some rest!”
With that, Craig and the rest left.
After all, nothing happened.
Nonetheless, there was no way Zephyr could rest. Without delay, he contacted Death Fiend again to get the details.
He was overwhelmed with anxiousness and did not hear about it clearly.
He also feedbacked the information he received here to the latter.
“What? Is everything back to normal? So did the observation post discover nothing too?”
Death Fiend was shocked.
“It’s complicated over here… Anyway, please inform Erudia right away. Ask them to make full defense just like last time! And also inform The Cardinal Hall to get ready! Hurry! There’s no time to explain! It’s a matter of time now!”
Death Fiend urged anxiously as he realized the seriousness of the matter.
“I also sensed something’s wrong! I will try again!”
After Zephyr hung up the call, he sent out all his intelligence team to investigate the frontline.
Then, he sent a few trusted subordinates to inform The Cardinal Hall.
Finally, he approached Craig and the others once again.
“It is better to be safe than sorry!”
Zephyr insisted again.
“Zephyr, what’s wrong with you? Didn’t we say stop mentioning this?
“If you want us to act, at least show us a piece of evidence! We are not prophets! We can’t make decisions over predictions!”
They were enraged.
“We all wish it was just a false alarm. But what if it’s real? What if they planned it perfectly, including the anomaly in space?”
Zephyr uttered.
Actually, Gary wanted to support Zephyr’s stand.
However, in the end, he did not have to guts to do so.
After all, it was difficult for him to express his opinion freely due to his status.
“Zephyr! Are you aware of how big the fluctuation in space was? It affected the whole world and all the other countries are crazy about it! If the enemy possesses such a technology, we will be no match for them! If so, they won’t need to make such a dirty move against us!” Craig analyzed.
Chandler and Nicholas also weighed in. “That’s impossible for anyone to have such technology! How could someone create a fluctuation so big in space that alarms the whole world? And we couldn’t even trace the origin!”
“So everything was merely a coincidence! It wasn’t any human’s doing! Plus, the danger is gone now. We have to believe the facts…
Chapter 2662 Leviathans Attack The Coastline
Since everyone had made up their minds, there was nothing Zephyr could say anymore.
After all, Death Fiend had already acted on his end.
He was bringing even more men than last time.
“Forget it. I can’t just stand here and do nothing! If something happens, the frontline will be the first one to be in danger! I must go there!”
Zephyr immediately packed his stuff and brought his men to the frontline.
The others could not be bothered less.
Why is he so nervous? Nothing is happening.
They thought Zephyr was acting foolishly.
He is fooling around because he is too free! He is just like Levi! The latter created a huge loss for Erudia and then vanished. And he has not shown up since then. They are both irresponsible pricks!
After taking the action, Lab of Gods had been monitoring the situation closely.
First, they resumed all the monitoring stations and sent the news to Dragonites.
It was all part of their plan.
Next, instead of having the Leviathans attack directly, they hid them. They wanted to trick the observation posts.
After all, the observation posts were connected, and their defense was flawless.
Lab of Gods could not control them like the monitoring stations.
As the monitoring stations had high privacy, they had no connection with each other.
That was why Lab of Gods would have a chance to sneak into them.
The observation posts, however, was a different story.
“Hahaha. The Gods of Restricted Area 76 is brilliant! They have acted and are heading toward Erudia now! Digital God miscalculated this time! Restricted Area 76 acted faster than he expected!”
Mr. X was delighted. “It looks like Restricted Area 76 is better than Erudia. They have discovered it was a distraction last time and they have been waiting for us to act. That’s great! Everything seems to be to our advantage. There’s no way Erudia could turn the tide now!”
When Death Fiend sent all his elites to support Erudia, Lab of Gods received the intel and thought it was Restricted Area 76 going after Erudia.
“Erudia, your real danger is here!”
All the Leviathans had entered Erudia’s sea by then, getting close to the observation posts.
“Something’s wrong!”
One of the observation posts finally noticed something was off.
Boom!
Suddenly, a Leviathan emerged to the surface.
“What?”
The observation post noticed it right away.
Gush!
The next second, the Leviathan shot an energy beam.
The beam was extremely powerful. It did not seem like anything the technology could produce.
Only Lab of Gods had such a level.
Bam!
The observation post got destroyed in the blink of an eye.
They failed to send any signal out in time.
At the same time, Leviathans started getting out of the water.
They all started shooting terrifying energy beams.
One by one, the observation posts collapsed.
It was still peaceful moments ago, but now it was in complete chaos.
They did not expect to encounter so many huge creatures.
Most importantly, those were not any natural creatures but were controlled by humans.
They had perfect collaboration and destroyed all the observation posts at once.
Rumble…
After the huge impact, the Leviathans charged toward the coastline.
Chapter 2663 What Is That
Erudia’s coastline was calm and peaceful as usual.
Especially early in the morning…
Nonetheless, many fishermen were already out in the sea.
The port was crammed with boats, all of which were trying to compete for the limited anchoring spots.
Remnants of the defense system were still scattered across the open sea.
At that moment, everyone’s face was filled with joy and delight.
Understandably, a plain and ordinary person only wanted stability and peace.
Meanwhile, there were three ships patrolling the parameters of Erudia.
Although the defense line had been withdrawn, the daily patrolling remained.
The deployment of three ships was the usual routine.
“Hmm? What’s going on in front?”
One of the patrolling ships noticed an aberration ahead.
“That’s weird. There should be sentry tower No. 3 thirty nautical miles ahead. Why is it not there now?”
“That’s impossible. How can a tall structure vanished from thin air?”
…
They were all dumbfounded.
“Not only No. 3, but No. 1 and No.2 too!”
“This is an emergency!”
Rumble…
Meanwhile, an eerie shockwave came from the deep waters.
“Something is wrong! Quick! Send off the alert”
The captain shouted.
He pressed the button immediately which sent of an alert!
Boom!
The next second, a collision ensued and the ship immediately sank underwater.
The two other ships suffered the same fate upon Leviathan’s ferocious impact.
Without slowing down, the Leviathan continued charging toward the coastline.
Splash!
It then resurfaced on land, stretching two hundred meters in length and height.
The second Leviathan.
The third.
There were hundreds of them!
Three hundred!
All emerged out of nowhere.
However, that was not all of them.
A fleet of what appeared to be countless units Leviathan continued to charge forward.
All of a sudden, three hundred units of Leviathan converged in one area.
It was like three hundred mountains formed in the middle of the ocean.
The majestic sight struck fear into any eyes that dared behold it.
“Hey, what is that?”
The fishermen noticed that the sky went dark.
Just then, the sun rose and the sky was gradually turning bright.
However, all of a sudden the sky became pitch black.
Hundreds of mountains surrounded them.
Nobody could see anything!
“What is that?”
Many were stupefied and in shock.
Rumble!
In the next second, the numerous units of Leviathan started moving again and they approached the coastlines at blazing speed.
“Run!”
Although puzzled by what was going on, everyone knew it was bad news.
They raced toward the coastlines as well.
“Emergency! Emergency!”
“Something bad is coming!”
…
They screamed while running.
Soon, chaos erupted as everyone was running for their lives.
Boom!
For one particular ship, the fishermen that just left the coastline were crushed by the Leviathan.
Clink! Clonk!
All the ships that were anchored by the coastline were decimated.
Bang!
Boom!
The Leviathan released a surge of explosive energy, destroying everything upon contact.
In a blink of an eye, the venue became a complete mess.
It was like Tartarus…
After eliminating all obstacles, the Leviathans continued their path forward.
Everyone was caught completely off guard.
Effortlessly, the fleet of Leviathan managed to reach Erudia’s land from the ocean.
Upon that happening.
Everyone from far ahead could see it clearly…
The extremity and destruction by the Warmachine were terrifying.
It was similar to the massacre in Erudia.
However, it appeared even more powerful this time.
Just showing a fragment of their powers was sufficient to cause immense damage.
“We are all doomed!”
Everyone was scrambling away like crazy.
Chapter 2664 The Creation By Doctor Erebus
The guards by the coastlines rushed toward the scene upon noticing the abnormality.
However, they were outnumbered.
There were only a few hundred of them.
They deployed modern weapons to initiate their first round of attacks against the Leviathan.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
Bang!
The tremendous firepower resulted in a fiery bombardment on the Leviathans based on the previous war.
Despite the formidable powers of the Warmachine, they were no match for modern weapons.
The guards had experience dealing with Warmachines, and they knew the exact target of their attacks.
Especially when hundreds of them gathered together.
Undoubtedly, the firepower was overwhelming.
Accuracy was not pertinent as they tried to overwhelm the Leviathans with brute force.
Saving on their resources was only necessary if they lack firepower. But with their team together and full of resources, they no longer had that concern.
They were not afraid of the Leviathans.
The modern weapons in their hands unleashed unimaginable attacks on the Leviathans.
However, after a few seconds…
The guards had their eyes and mouths widened in shock.
The attacks were ineffective!
Even with such brute force, they did not manage to put a dent in the Leviathans.
The strong armor on the Leviathans appeared to have made them immune to all attacks.
There was hope that perhaps the attack would have left scratches on the armor.
But there was none!
The Leviathans were completely unharmed!
The weapons that the guards had previously used to fend off the Warmachines were incapable of dealing with the Leviathans!
Right then, a thought surfaced in the guards’ minds—Levi was right!
The disaster had struck them!
It was absurd to compare it with the smoke bombs deployed by Lab of Gods.
That kind of Warmachine could be produced effortlessly and without needing many resources and materials!
Thus, it was too simple for him!
However, the Leviathan was invented by Dr. Erebus after decades of research.
One should not underestimate its powers just because the plan was initiated just one and a half months ago.
The preparation backstage was unbeknownst to many.
Including countless autopsies performed by Dr. Erebus’ to study the numerous species of vampires…
Including his research on the genes and samples of the Warmachines from all the countries around the world.
The Warmachines were ultimately designed and produced by the most advanced technologies available.
Before this, Lab of Gods was eying for the Doomsday Seed Vault in the possession of Archulea. This was because the ancient genes stored in that place were comparatively more comprehensive and complete.
This was what Lab of Gods wanted all along!
Dr. Erebus was dreaming of this his whole life.
However, because of Levi’s meddling, he failed to retrieve the Doomsday Seed Vault.
Back then, he was already making preparations to build the Leviathan.
The preparation required was extensive and time-consuming.
Besides, his research was extremely complex, requiring him to combine the bloodline and specialties of different species of vampires.
Also, he needed to recreate the genes of the ancient Warmachines, infused with all sorts of technologies and materials.
Leviathan was the result of such sophisticated work.
It was indestructible.
Even if the scales attached to the armor were discarded, the defense of the Leviathan remained impenetrable owing to the various vampire genes fortifying its abilities.
Dr. Erebus even injected the Leviathan with the genes belonging to Restricted Area 76.
That made the Warmachine even more impeccable.
Not to mention its explosive attacks.
Simply put, the Leviathan was equipped with a myriad of energy and weapons.
There was a multitude of attacking techniques capable of defeating anything that stood in its way.
After all, it was one of the most sophisticated creations by Dr. Erebus.
He exhausted all his resources to build an army of three thousand units of Leviathan, wiping out the reserves of Lab of Gods.
Bang!
The Leviathans started their counterattack, releasing an unrivaled energy beam in all directions.
Immediately, they demolished the temporary bases in the vicinity.
“Retreat, now!”
Chapter 2665 Utterly Destroyed
Everyone saw the level of destruction that the Leviathan was capable of.
It was much stronger than the attacks before!
Knowing that they were overpowered, the only choice left was to retreat.
Snipers were stationed to provide cover.
Besides, it was a hopeful attempt to identify the weakness of the Leviathans.
However, the snipers’ locations were quickly exposed and they were being targeted by the Leviathans.
Boom!
Boom!
The Leviathans sent out tracking missiles and wiped out the tall buildings in which the snipers were hiding.
Obviously, there was no weakness.
At the end of the day, the Leviathan was a masterpiece built by the most advanced technologies.
We have been overpowered!
They are just unstoppable!
“Retreat!”
“Everyone retreat now!”
In an instant, the people who were gathered in front of the port dispersed and retreated.
Fortunately, this was not their first time.
The experience garnered from the previous encounter was helpful for the situation.
The speed in which everyone retreated was exceptional.
Soon enough, the Leviathans broke through the port defense.
“Bang!”
The Leviathans reached the shore one after another on the land. The ground shook violently as if there was an earthquake.
Ravaging waves of energy beams were channeled relentlessly.
All buildings at the port were destroyed in an instant, leaving behind rumbles and specks of dust.
“Hahahaha! The Leviathans managed to reach the shore!”
The people in Lab of Gods cheered.
The most challenging part of attacking Erudia was breaking through the defenses of its port.
However, the hurdle had already been overcome.
“Five hundred over units of Leviathan from Bayview gathered at Erudia’s coastline in nine minutes!”
“The remaining thousands will also arrive from Adrune within the hour!”
The Leviathans were too fast.
They could travel around the world in a matter of hours.
Upon receiving the news, Mr. X and the others were grinning from ear to ear.
“There are over three thousand Leviathans! It’s enough to overwhelm Erudia!”
Mr. X looked toward the intelligence officer. “Where are the ones from Restricted Area 76? How long will it take for them to reach?”
“According to our data, they should be the last to arrive, but they could make it in time!”
Mr. X nodded. “That’s great! It’s a piece of wonderful news! I believe they have received news about Erudia’s defeat, and will not hesitate to support us in our attack against Erudia. It will be a fatal blow to the nation!”
He then ordered. “All Death Harbinger to standby now! They are ordered to wreak havoc in Erudia! We’ll not let Erudia have any room to breathe! Also, get Dr. Erebus and his army to deal with those from Restricted Area 76! Watch Erudia’s every move closely! Your duties are to observe the existence of the two mysterious entities in Erudia, and whether they show themselves! Notify Sacroria upon identifying their presence!”
As the Commander-In-Chief, Mr. X meticulously planned the strategy for their every move.
Indeed, the Leviathans were progressing at blazing speed.
Soon enough, they broke through the port and charged into town.
The damage was devastating, and the entire place became a living hell in no time.
Ironically, the whole invasion was effortless.
The humongous Warmachines occupied the vicinity, terrorizing everyone in sight.
Most importantly, the numbers were adding up as time went by, and the army grew bigger and bigger.
The attacks against Erudia came from all fronts.
It was simply too overpowering for Erudia to deal with.
Instead of focusing their attacks on a single target, the army scattered their attacks across different cities.
The strategy was effective in create disorderly chaos.
…
“Things are not looking good!”
“This is really bad! We’re doomed!”
News started to spread like wildfire within the country.
Zephyr’s intelligence unit immediately notified him upon sighting the Leviathans.
At the same time.
Dragonites were bombarded with a series of distress signals from Erudia’s coastlines.
Beep! Beep! Beep!
Chapter 2666 Crown King Is Right
Meanwhile, the control room received a lot of distress signals.
The machines were struggling to handle the voluminous input of information.
Everyone in the control room was panic-stricken.
Because of Zephyr’s false alarm previously, everyone grew numb and let down their guards.
However, the wave of distress signals was unexpected and had caused them to act frantically.
It’s true!
Zephyr was right!
Levi was also right!
“The observation post noticed an abnormality! I repeat, an abnormality was spotted!”
“The coastlines by the east were breached!”
“The coastline by the south suffered similar fate!”
“This is an emergency! This is an emergency! Unidentified Warmachines managed to break through our defenses and have reached the coastlines! The damage caused is unimaginable!”
“My men are retreating. We have given up on a large area of territory!”
“We faced off against an army of unidentified Warmachines! They were indestructible, and appeared to be immune to all our attacks! On top of that, they have a myriad of techniques to attack. Their powers are substantially stronger than the ones before!”
“My men fought three of the Warmachines, and they were all injured heavily. We have casualties and we are all prepared to sacrifice ourselves defending Erudia!”
“It’s extremely urgent! My city is being attacked ferociously by a Warmachine! All eighteen thousands of us are ready to sacrifice ourselves to defend Erudia!”
“We need backup! Training base 18 is lost! Unidentified Warmachines are ravaging through the area!”
“Help! Training base 27 is breached!”
“Latest news! There are more than a thousand units of the Warmachines! They were not gathered together, but have split up in groups of hundreds to attack the various cities across Erudia!”
“Help! Help! We need immediate reinforcements! The Warmachines have to be stopped!”
…
The distress signals came one after another.
Beep! Beep! Beep!
The beeping sound was like a death timer, and every beep managed to stir up rippling waves of emotions.
Everyone was trembling in cold sweat, and the trepidation even hindered their ability to walk.
“It’s really bad! Notify the leaders! Quick!”
“Hurry up!”
Everything was in a mess!
Dragonites had no idea how to deal with the situation, and the whole place was in chaos.
There were noises everywhere as everyone was flustered and clueless.
When Zephyr received news of the invasion, he picked up the speed and raced in the same direction.
Fortunately, he had assigned the intelligence unit to be stationed at the frontline beforehand.
Time was of the essence, and the earlier he knew, the earlier he could make the necessary arrangements.
“Evacuate everyone right now! Quick! I’ll be there soon enough!”
Under the supervision of the experts, the result was not too bad.
They were able to evacuate the crowd efficiently to mitigate the losses and damage.
In the bleak moment, such minor success was commendable.
Shortly after, the leaders and high-rank officials arrived.
“What’s wrong? What happened?”
Before they even stepped foot into the control room, Dragonites could be seen scrambling all around.
Craig quickly summoned everyone and they gathered in the control room immediately.
Then, Craig and the others soon found out about the invasion.
Bang!
A shudder ran down everyone’s spine, and they trembled in fear.
“This is…”
They had never expected such an exigency to occur!
It was not long after Zephyr caused the scene.
And it really happened!
“Zephyr is right!”
“We should have investigated the problem of the malfunction of the monitoring stations and on space!”
“Sacred Organization is also right!”
Everyone gradually came to their senses.
Zephyr was right all along!
“Zephyr is already in the battlefield! Huh!”
Gary slammed onto the table. “The Crown King was right but you guys refused to listen!”
He questioned the group, “Look at the situation right now! He’s right all along!”
Chapter 2667 Shameless
Craig, Nicholas, and Chandler were thunderstruck.
Their minds went blank upon the realization.
Nobody was spared from the shock of the startling revelation.
Zephyr’s premonition was spot-on; Death Fiend’s insistence was grounded.
Even Crown King’s prediction was dead-on.
His idea of building walls as a defense barrier was proven to be correct as well.
If everyone had listened to him, there would already be a three-hundred-meter tall wall alongside the coastline of Erudia, shielding the country from those Warmachines!
Otherwise, how would they be able to land on Erudia?
It would have been virtually impossible for them to accomplish that!
Even if they had not built the wall, they were actually planning to build hundreds of Shelters that would be able to accommodate most people who were due for evacuation should there be an attack.
At the very least, if their defense barrier was still in place, though it would be less effective than a three-hundred-meter wall, it would be able to at least hold the enemies for a moment.
However, their complacence had led them to squander every single chance that could have saved them from landing themselves in such a predicament.
The rest of them had rejected all ideas for defenses on the grounds of lack of substantial evidence.
Gary was infuriated. “I told you guys to believe in Crown King! When was he ever wrong? All of you are to be blamed for this! Isn’t this a bigger problem now? It used to be just a matter of profit and loss, but now it’s become a matter of Erudia’s survival! Who’s going to step up and take the blame for this?”
In face of Gary’s accusations, everyone lowered their heads and dared not utter a single word.
Craig asked his men to keep their mouths shut as well.
“If Crown King and the others insisted, we might not have…” someone said in a small voice.
Gary glowered at the man and snapped, “What?” Did he just say that Crown King should have insisted? Did they even give him a chance to do so? Not only Crown King, but did they even give Zephyr and me a chance? We’ve been standing firm all this time. Hence, what are you yakking on about? They would call for a vote whenever there were arguments on their next course of action.
Unfortunately, only a select few were wise enough to make the right decision.
Besides, it would just take time to recover should they suffer from a loss. Now that things had taken a turn for the worse, they were at a total loss on their next course of action.
Slap!
Craig slapped himself multiple times.
“It’s all my fault! I’m the sinner who brought upon the downfall of Erudia!”
The others were likewise filled with utter regret.
“Maybe Crown King has not gone into solitary training. Instead, he left because you guys got on his nerve!” Gary bellowed.
Chandler, Nicholas, and the others were on the verge of tears.
“It’s my fault! I would like to apologize to Crown King and everyone!”
“All right, all right! Stop yelling! We should focus on building our defenses and advances right now! Quick, get moving! I’d like to see who has the audacity to live on in degradation when Erudia is gone!”
Right then, Dragonites activated the highest level of emergency alert as it gathered all of its fighters.
They no longer held back and went all out as they unleashed their best weapons.
Top dogs in the country like Garrison Industry and the likes also offered a helping hand.
Craig brought his Suicide Squad and Mecha Corps, alongside a number of elites to the frontline.
His men were among the first to reach the frontline as they mobilized all resources to control the situation.
Meanwhile, Nicholas led a backup army and groups of people that he managed to assemble. Then, he made the corresponding arrangements and sent the people to where they were needed the most.
Nicholas’ army was among the strongest and largest in the alliance.
Chapter 2668 The Disappearance Of Sacred Organization
Whether or not Erudia would be spared from the downfall would depend on Nicholas’ ability to effectively deploy his resources.
Craig’s army was essentially buying him more time to carefully administer his plan.
As for Chandler, he was in charge of mobilizing all covert sentries in Erudia to support the frontline battle. At the same time, gather information on the enemies, preventing them from ambushing Erudia from within.
Finally, Gary was tasked with evacuating as many civilians as possible so that they would be spared from the disaster.
Even though the construction of Shelter was stopped midway, Sacred Organization had built around twenty to thirty of them.
They would be able to shield most civilians from harm if they were able to look for other safe zones.
At the very least, they had a backup plan of shielding the remaining civilians in inland cities.
However, their plans were not without risk, as it would largely depend on the situation at the frontline.
The more dire the situation was, the more Gary was reminded of Levi’s prediction.
He could not help but ponder the upsides of having a three-hundred-meter tall wall.
What if we also have hundreds of shelters? How many losses would we be able to avoid altogether?
How many lives would be spared from this unnecessary sacrifice?
However, it was futile to ruminate over what could have been done.
They could only go all out to prevent the worst ever scenario from happening.
Besides the evacuation mission, Gary was also tasked to contact The Cardinal Hall and Eragon, as well as other influential organizations.
In fact, his goal was to contact as many organizations such as Sacred Organization and Maya Industries as possible.
It did not take long for Gary to pass on the news to The Cardinal Hall, Eragon, and Carigrey Academy.
Then, he proceeded to try and contact Death Fiends and the others from Sacred Organization.
However, he realized that he could not reach them.
The group of people somehow seemed like they had just disappeared from the face of the Earth.
“Where are they?”
Beads of nervous sweat dotted Gary’s forehead.
Erudia would definitely suffer a total defeat without the help of these powerful organizations!
Their help was quintessential for Erudia to win the battle.
However, it was not only him that was unable to contact Death Fiend.
The others could not reach Death Fiend as well.
“Bad news! Everyone from Sacred Organization and Maya Industries has disappeared!”
“What are Gods of the Restricted Area 76 doing? Why are they all gone? What the hell are they doing? Have we made the wrong judgement?”
Right then, spies from Lab of Gods realized that people from Sacred Organization had just disappeared from right under their noses.
They were just on their way to Erudia when all of them disappeared suddenly.
The spies from Lab of Gods were stumped.
Unforeseen circumstances were the most difficult to deal with, after all.
Digital God’s previous efforts would have gone down the drains since Leviathans would be less useful if they were utilized in the early stages of the battle.
Catastrophic consequences could ensue if Erudia lacked the support of Sacred Organization and Maya Industries.
Lucifer and Jester King were flustered by the disconcerting news.
“Hurry up and find out where they’ve gone to!”
Everyone was disturbed.
A team was dispatched to get to the bottom of the matter.
“It’s alright! I think that this is good news instead!” Mr. X said mysteriously.
The others were flabbergasted by his remarks and asked, “Huh? How can this be good news?”
“Erudia is in a dire state right now, and everyone is clamoring to fight the Leviathans. If those people from Restricted Area 67 appear out of nowhere and hit right where Erudia was most vulnerable, what do you reckon Erudia’s losses would be, specifically if the heart of Erudia, Oakland City, was under attack?” Mr. X did not answer their question and instead posed other questions.
A shudder ran down everyone’s spines upon listening to Mr. X.
“If the God of Restricted Area 76 was targeting Oakland City next, it is possible for Erudia to come crumbling down!”
“It is possible that Oakland City is unguarded when Restricted Area 76 strikes, since all elites have been sent to the frontlines to fight the battle. Essentially, Oakland City will be exposed and defenseless.”
Chapter 2669 Another Disappearance
“If Restricted Area 76 manages to take down Oakland City and Dragonites, then Erudia would already be on the losing end!” the others exclaimed.
An epiphany hit Lucifer as he said, “That’s brilliant! If even we do not know where they’ve gone to, Erudia would also be clueless about it too!”
“So, what are you guys worried about? It’s Erudia that should be concerned about this. It’s a good thing that they’ve disappeared. Erudia would have been eradicated when they finally make an appearance,” Mr. X sneered.
He could not wait to witness Erudia’s downfall.
Erudia’s predicament soon spread to The Cardinal Hall and Eragon, which also incited chaos.
At the same time, The Manifest Court had caught wind of the news and shared some insights on dealing with Warmachines.
The Cardinal Hall had mobilized all of its resources, while Eragon only about half of theirs.
The latter dared not mobilize all its forces, owing to the nature of its organization.
In actual fact, Eragon was made up of many branches, all of which held parts of Erudia’s top secret respectively.
Every branch was in charge of a piece of the top secret.
Only by piecing all the pieces together that the ultimate top secret of Erudia would unfold itself.
That had been the founding mission of Eragon all along, which was as significant as defending Erudia from invasions.
Hence, they held back on mobilizing all their forces as they had to stay true to their founding mission.
In fact, they even thought that defending Erudia’s top secret triumphed over Erudia’s current predicament.
Mobilizing half of their resources was already the best help that they could provide, and they had even sent those from the Genius Project such as Warrior Princess, Twin Meteorites, Josephine, and Yasmin to assist in the battle.
However, Eragon and The Cardinal Hall’s forces were deployed as quick support to the frontline.
The auxiliary forces that came next would be fully at the Commander-In-Chief’s command, demonstrating the commander’s great value and supremacy in the matter.
Hence, the group of people headed to Carigrey Academy to look for Divine Brigadier.
They were hoping to get Divine Brigadier, Daxon’s, help in the matter.
Surprisingly, the news about Erudia’s crisis did not reach Carigrey Academy.
Everyone was shocked to learn about Erudia’s predicament.
“Every disciple has to go to the battlefield and give me your very best! Make use of everything you’ve learned all these months and take this battle as a precious experience!”
Gabriel gathered everyone he mentored and announced his decision.
It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience for everyone.
Finally, it was time to showcase what they had learned.
They were not at all terrified at the prospect of going to the battlefield. Instead, they cheered in ecstasy.
The disciples and the spies from Lab of Gods alike were overjoyed by the news as it meant that they had a chance to prove themselves.
With a strong army as backup, they could take part and gain experience in the mobilization of resources.
Gabriel announced, “Of course, only Crown King’s disciples should stay behind at the academy. Nobody should disturb them. The rest of you, follow me!”
Everyone laughed after listening to the announcement.
“Hah, look at the useless mentor leading a bunch of useless disciples! They’re not able to help out when Erudia needs them the most!”
“What the heck? Haha! What use can come from practicing that? They’re going to be less than useless on the battlefield!”
“They’re just going to be canon fodders there!”
Mockery ensued after Gabriel announced that Crown King’s disciples should stay back.
Zoey and the others were guilt-ridden as they heard the news.
Levi had squandered their chances after all.
It was such a shame that they could not go to the battlefield when they were needed the most.
Also, they wondered where Levi had gone as they could not seem to locate him.
“Where is Divine Brigadier? Why is he gone? Hurry up and go look for him!”
The major troop of The Cardinal Hall had all gathered, only to realize that Daxon was missing.
“He can’t be missing! He’s supposed to command the whole situation as only he has the authority to do so! Other people would not be able to do the same!”
Chapter 2670 An Elaborate Scheme
Everyone started to look for Daxon.
Meanwhile, the former Dark Emperor’s Senior Disciple brought his father, Daxon, before the former Dark Emperor’s grave.
The Senior Disciple wailed, stumping Daxon.
“All right, now that I’ve paid my respects to your late mother, I should go,” Daxon said before he turned around to leave.
However, Senior Disciple hugged his legs and said, “How could you leave after seeing this? Don’t you want to avenge her? How could you contemplate working with my mother’s murderer?”
Senior Disciple of the former Dark Emperor cried as he stopped Daxon from leaving.
The Cardinal Hall had been trying to reach Daxon so that he could step up and command the situation upon knowing that Erudia was in a crisis.
However, Daxon was nowhere to be seen, just like Levi.
“Hurry up and get in contact with him right now!”
“We have to get in contact with him no matter what!”
Everyone began to panic as they searched for Daxon frantically.
In the end, several divine generals from The Cardinal Hall were able to contact him via a secret ancient communication method that was different from the current technology.
Members of The Cardinal Hall could communicate with each other in secret using the ancient method, and they finally came in contact with Daxon using the same technique.
Daxon grew exasperated that they tried to reach him via the method since it was agreed upon that the method should only be used during a crisis.
The fact that they tried to reach him using the method meant that they were in face of a serious crisis.
Daxon asked, “What’s the matter? What happened?”
“Bad news, Sir! Crown King’s prediction came true, and Erudia is facing an unprecedented ambush! Where are you? Please come back as we need your command! Hurry up and get back here as soon as you can, please! Otherwise, Erudia is going to come crumbling down! Besides, you have the most combat prowess among all of us too.”
Gabriel, who was standing aside said, “Sir, Mr. Garrison is gone! We can’t afford to lose you too! Please, Erudia needs you right now! We cannot possibly defeat those Warmachines without you!”
Daxon realized that something must have gone terribly wrong, judging from the exasperated tones from the other end.
Daxon was about to leave when Senior Disciple stopped him. “Where are you going?”
“Something’s happened to Erudia! I need to leave!” Daxon attempted to leave without making further explanation.
“No, you’re just making things up so that you can leave! She’s already dead. Can’t you even try to spare more time for her?”
Senior Disciple blocked Daxon’s way stubbornly.
Daxon was hit by a pang of realization right then.
“You… Did you already know about this? You purposely steered me here, right?”
Everything then started to make sense to Daxon right then.
Levi did warn him to be wary of Senior Disciple before he went into solitary training.
That meant that Levi already knew that he was one of Lab of Gods’ spies.
Daxon was wary of his son’s actions, but he did not think that it was possible for him to refuse to meet his own son.
This time, his son had even used his mother as an excuse, rendering it even more difficult for Daxon to turn him down.
However, it was all part of an elaborate scheme, a ploy to get him out of Erudia, just so he could not offer a helping hand when Erudia needed him the most.
“Yes, it’s all part of a scheme! I was planning to get you out of Erudia! You sided with people who murdered my mother! How could I possibly live with that? Since you’re incapable of avenging her, I’m going to seek help from people who are willing to help!”
