Chapter 237 - Supplies & Preparations
Silvercove city
Shortly after the peacekeeping forces of the Earth Federation arrived, the chaos in the city was quickly quelled.
The result ended in the total annihilation of the Abestel family while several top families suffered disastrous losses, including the death of their family heads.
The big battle left behind untold devastation in various parts of the city as rubbles littered the streets of Silvercove Beach and the Eastern Allure Hotel threatened to topple over.
At the location of the Abestel family's home, the entire land was reduced to ruins.
The remaining members of the top 10 families that participated in the battle were seen searching the site for survivors.
At the same time, local residents and news agencies arrived to inspect the devastation with curiosity.
"Hi, everyone. Hu Kaires here, back with the latest report at the site of the Abestel family's mansion, which reportedly used to belong to the gang leader of the Bloodmoon Gang branch in Silvercove," Hu Kaires spoke on live news.
"As you can see behind me, the battle has brought total destruction to the land, burying many notable figures underneath with their life and death unconfirmed. It is hard to say how the top families will recover from this battle, but one thing for sure is that their losses weren't small."
"Is this the inevitable result of the Apocalypse steering the world on its path to ruination or a product of conflicting human interest and greed? Either way, tonight's event was the worse case of gang wars since the start of the Apocalypse."
"Let us have a word with the captain of the peacekeeping forces, Captain Nikolai, and see what he has to say on this matter. Perhaps we can learn what plans the government has for the future of Silvercove city."
As the camera panned over to a man in black armor with blue strips, the anchor moved her microphone in front of the person's face.
"Thank you, Hu Kaires, but what the government has planned for the Silvercove city is not my place to comment on. All I can say is that while my men and I are still in this city, another event like tonight will not happen," Captain Nikolai spoke.
On the side, the police officers over this before they had disgruntled looks.
"Hmph. The battle was already in the end phase by the time the peacekeeping forces arrived. It was under our united efforts that the situation was contained, and yet it's the peacekeeping forces gets all the credits for simply making an appearance," an officer complained.
Officer Phuc shrugged and said, "Well, it's the peacekeeping forces. What can you do about it? If you have a problem with it, complain to them instead."
"Yeah, nah. I'm good," the officer said with twitched lips.
The last guy that did already got roughed up.

Meanwhile, in the southern suburban district, another starship from Damocles arrived quietly and subtly under cover of the night skies and hovered several hundred feet above the abandoned gym.
Swoosh—!
Several shadow figures descended from the starship before they landed inside the abandoned gym occupied by the three gangs.
"Commander Maverick, the supplies requested have arrived!" one of the shadowy subordinates reported while placing down large black cases along with the other twenty or so subordinates.
Click!
Maverick Cohen opened one of the black cases and nodded with satisfaction after seeing the contents inside, "Good!"
"Alright, maggots! Training time is over!"
Plop!
Once the words were spoken, Reagan Declan, Meng Yan, Ah Zhen, and the rest of the three gangs all collapsed on the ground with their topless bodies soaking in puddles of sweat.
They had long lost track of how long they were holding horse stances with weights.
"Ahh, it's finally over! Thank god!" Reagan Declan exclaimed with relief.
"I'm not sure if I can take much more of this hellish training," Ah Zhen commented before adding, "My body is sore all over."
Every person could be seen wearing weighted black straps on their wrists and ankles.
However, these weighted black straps were not just any regular weighted black straps but high-tech equipment with adjustable weight settings that utilize gravity technology.
"Alright, go and wash up. Your Blackthorne uniforms had arrived," Maverick Cohen stated before he said sternly, "After you are all changed, we will be carrying out the Lord's task immediately; conquering this city."
Within the black cases brought by the newly arrived subordinates, apart from the plain black uniforms with a thorn emblem, high-tech weaponry included laser-type firearms and mechanical swords.
Ah Zhen caught a glimpse at the content before he twitched his lips, "Instructor Maverick, we can't just take over a city with force. The government will not keep a blind eye to our actions."
"Of course they will. To rule a city, you don't need to own it. You need to control all the people in power managing it—and that is precisely what we will do," Maverick Cohen stated coolly.
"Whether it is done with just words or by force, we will succeed in establishing the authority of the Blackthorne Group in this city—starting with the mayor, we will follow to subjugate the wealthy families one by one."
Meng Yan's lips twitched.
A few hours of intense training was not enough for them to take on the prominent families, even if those families have suffered disastrous losses recently.
Nevertheless, Maverick Cohen was not weak, and the equipment from Damocles was excellent. As such, it might be possible.
"Understood, Instructor Maverick!" the gang answered.

Glacia continent
After the matters within Stronghold GC-06 settled down and the people from Team Netherfrost were sent away, Fenriri quickly pulled Fenrira back to the spaceship.
"Big sister, big sister! You won't believe how good human food can be! It was so amazing, better than anything we ever had back at home!"
As Fenriri recounted her food experience, Fenrira's interest and envy were lit.
Nevertheless, Fenriri shortly assured, "But don't worry, big sister! Fenriri did not forget to bring some food back for big sister to try! You will definitely love the meat—if nothing else!"
