God of Tricksters

Chapter 1905 Bad News

Agata walked into the room, finding Felix along with Nella, Eleanor, Millie, and a few other support staff from the Griffith Family and the Beggar Association.

It seemed that they were waiting for her this whole time as they were staring at her the moment she entered the room.

She also knew her importance in this room, so she stated with a serious tone. "I need your undivided attention today. We can't let an enemy slip past us."

They nodded their heads. There were two headquarters for this operation. The first one is operated by the military.

They were the ones responsible for maintaining surveillance in all areas. Meanwhile, the second one was used as a base for Theo's group to make sure the rest didn't slack off.

As for the chain of command, Theo's group would take priority, but they still had to relay them to both the people in question and the military headquarters.

"Nella. How is it going?" Agata asked.

"We have been spreading our people, but we haven't found any weird movement." Nella shook her head helplessly. "Should we send some people to the enemy's location to check? We've got some locations from Theo, so…"

"No. It's better to remain in this base to avoid bothering the enemy too much." Agata shook her head helplessly.

"How about the spies inside the base?"

"We can't do anything right now about them. And with us spreading our people, it's hard to put manpower into that matter." Agata let out a sigh.

"I understand. I'll focus on the enemies from the outside then." Nella nodded and turned back to her monitor.

Agata pinched the bridge of her nose, thinking about something else.

The others had also prepared for the invasion.

…

Ava had been standing on top of a hill near her defense area, focusing all her attention on her ears. She had been checking the movement of the nearby monsters.

The one standing next to her was Ergene, who was tasked to protect her while she was locating them.

"I believe we should go back soon. Although it's good to know the enemy is advancing from early on, it takes a toll on your mind. So, it's better to call it a day and conserve your energy."

"No, it's fine. I'll still go like this for another hour. If we still haven't found them, I'll go back."

Not knowing the real extent of Ava's strength, Ergene nodded in understanding, leaving the choice to Ava.

…

Just like Ava, Ray had been dispersing his Magic Power into the air.

His Order was Magic Power. Unlike his father, who focused on the Magic itself, Ray could control the Magic Power like a part of his body.

By spreading the Magic Power into the air, he could feel anything within a huge radius. Nothing would be able to escape his eyes.

Unfortunately, he couldn't find any monsters for the time being. Considering this was the first day they were expecting the monsters to arrive, he knew that he shouldn't put a high hope in finding their movement.

…

Rea also did the same. Instead of using herself to figure out the monsters' movement, Rea summoned a few animals to scout ahead.

They shouldn't be attacked immediately. And even if they were attacked, she could summon them again.

So, she expected a lot from them.

Unfortunately for her, she didn't find anything just like anyone else.

It seemed that the first day was safe. But they couldn't lower their guards yet since the enemies were going to strike them at the perfect time.

She also wanted to see how perfect it was since it would prove that the spies could see everything from his position, even though they had weakened the government.

…

However, everything changed when they returned.

The first one to get the information was none other than the headquarters as Nella shouted, "Not good. We have found a huge dust cloud ten miles to the north. We're assuming they—"

Before she finished, Nella got another report. "There is also the same occurrence coming from the northeast and northwest. We don't know their exact number, but we're expecting more than twenty thousand monsters to come this way."

"Twenty thousand…" Agata frowned. "It's not bad, but not good either. We shall intercept them. Report to me any finding."

"Understood." Nella nodded and focused on receiving the report again.

Agata turned around and shouted to Millie, "Tell everyone to stand by as the enemies are coming. Give them the information and tell them to hold on until we figure out the situation. The rest of the people are to stand by because the enemies might attack their areas as well.

"We can't have our base getting destroyed by them. Deal with the humanoid enemies according to the plan.

"They are the most dangerous enemies, so we have to kill them before they can become one of us."

Millie nodded with a serious expression. She immediately sent all the messages with Eleanor's help.

Meanwhile, Felix maintained his calm while looking at the situation, wondering whether the enemies would attack them with their main force.

"Good, good. Disperse them…" Agata nodded a few times as if she was happy that the enemies attacked them separately. This would work better for them since they could focus on each point to remove the enemies.

However, the situation didn't seem to be going according to their plan.

Agata had been commanding the people to intercept them. But the closer the monsters became, the bigger the worry in her heart became.

"Something is wrong…" Agata muttered. Her gut feeling was telling her that these three attacks were only distractions and the main force that would attack them hadn't moved yet.

"Is it…" Agata was thinking about possibilities, but that was the time another piece of information came in.

"Bang!" Suddenly, someone barged into the room by slamming the door. He was none other than the Beggar Association's leader.

He was rushing to this place to the point he was covered with sweat.

"Hmm?" Everyone was confused by his appearance, but the latter soon shouted, "Not good. We have an emergency. There is chaos everywhere in the city."
