Chapter 285 It's A Total Mess Inside!
Chapter 285 It's A Total Mess Inside!
“Good,” I nodded, “sign it then,” I said while turning to Mouven, “you didn’t answer my question yet.”
His body slightly shook before hurriedly saying, “We have around eighty thousand here.”
“Eighty thousand?!” I raised an eyebrow when I heard that. I thought mostly they’d have thirty up to forty thousand at most.
“We have more inside that damn shield,” one of the two guys said.
“So you have your main shelter in Boston?” I asked and Mouven shook his head.
“It’s here,” he pointed back at the destroyed city, “we have a grand bunker that reaches to the inner side of Boston and Cambridge cities.”
“Is that so?” my eyes flashed with a plan.
“But… Its entrance is blocked by tons of debris,” Mouven seemed to read my thoughts, “so we can’t get access to it.”
“If the debris is the only problem, then it’s not,” I shrugged, simply pointing my head towards my big forces here, “just lead my boys here to the entrance and let them clear it.”
“Really?!!” The four of them jumped in surprise, as they shouted in unison. For some reason I didn’t get, they placed such importance over that shelter.
“The shelter is the symbol of their cult,” yet Hilary explained about this from the side, “without it they’d be at a loss.”
I got what she meant, partially. Anyway it wasn’t that important to get what that shelter meant to them. I only wanted to have access to the two cities aside from the shield.
“How much can the shield withstand through the tunnels?” I asked the most important question here.
If the passages underground could only carry a few hundreds, then it was meaningless depending on it. But if it could hold thousands, then it would be another story.
“As much as you can send,” yet the answer he said was totally unexpected for me.
“What do you mean by that?” I asked, feeling more doubt towards what he just said.
“They built shelters to take millions not just mere tens of thousands,” Hilary explained, again, “that’s why the shelters act as their most precious thing. With them, they could recruit millions if they have the chance.”
“I see,” I finally started to get the importance of shelters to them, “so this shelter here can take my army here?” I asked, not only referring to my personal forces but to everyone else.
“It can take more than them,” and yet Mouven kept nodding, giving me such great news.
“Good,” I turned to Hilary and without the need for me to explain anything she nodded.
“Leave this to me,” she promised and I knew I could depend on her.
My plan grew from simply going inside blindly and attacking the shield without any good backing or proper plan into such a detailed version of a more successful plan.
After all, getting this cult’s people wasn’t only limited to these extremely game changer underground tunnels. The most important thing was the fact that they got people fighting inside the shield.
If they were of the same professionalism as the people I saw here, then things would turn out for the best indeed.
“Do you have any connection with people inside?” I turned to Mouven before adding, “do you know what the situation is like inside?”
“A total mess,” Mouven shook his head while adding in a bitter tone, “the Dragons, the Selvators, and the Berserkers are fighting in large forces against that alien race called the Hectors I believe. The entire place inside is simply a chaotic battlefield with no side taking a clear advantage over the other.”
“Is that so?” my eyes flashed in delight. After all this was even better than I initially hoped for. “What about your forces inside?”
“They are stationed near MIT campus,” he even gave me such a thrilling piece of news, “there are lots of strong humans still fighting and resisting the attacks of all races inside.”
“All races?” Hilary asked before turning to me as she added in doubt, “even Selvators and Berserkers?”
“Everyone is fighting against everyone,” Mouven shook his head again, “It’s a total mess, I told you already it’s a mess.”
I never expected this to happen. Dragons weren’t my allies, so it was normal for them to harass my humans.
But Berserkers and Selvators? What was going on inside that city?
[What’s going on?] I sent to the two I had ties with, asking about more details about this, [I heard inside the big Hector shield in Boston city surrounding your forces are attacking humans!]
“Contact your people,” I turned to the four of them, “tell them the good news of joining me. Also tell them I’m coming for their aid.”
“You are what…” the four said in the same breath, yet I totally ignored their useless remark of shock.
“Tell them to be ready to come to my aid. Describe my chariot to them, and let them tell other human forces there that Hye, the human from New York city, is coming.”
“Do they know you?” The second question all of them asked was also meaningless.
“Do you know where the tunnels of your shelter open inside Cambridge?”
I had three options here to select. Either go from the hole over any of the three cities. Yet I selected Cambridge City for many reasons.
First there were lots of human forces there. Second, my top priority here was to safeguard MIT campus at any cost. And thirdly this city lies in between the other two, allowing me to make any maneuver and take any decision to intervene in the other two cities at any given moment.
“Well… We built it to open just near the main gate of the campus,” Mouven kept bringing the great news to me.
“Good,” I nodded, only looking at Hilary who nodded in return.
“Just wait for my message,” I said to her before turning to Mouven, “I’ll leave these boys to you.”
I pointed at a group of Bulltors, Golllams, and fallen gods to join him in clearing the debris over the shelter entrance. “As for you… You go down there and tell the news to your people. Whoever won’t agree to sign will die without a way out. Making any trouble also equals saying no to me, do you understand?”
I had to clearly state this to the other three. After all, I didn’t want any group of them to act a bit loyal and get carried out with such useless emotion.
