Limitless The Strongest Revenant

Chapter 541 Rock, Paper, Scissors [2/2]

'Exa just told me about the Hellsend Network. Thank you, Mrs. Code. I am so lucky to have you,' I thought as I smiled at her.

'Hmph. It is still far from perfect and has too many vulnerabilities. We need a physical server soon. I do not intend to waste my brain power on it.'

'All the same. Thank you, Bella. I love you.'

"I know. Pay attention, Gareth is about to finish up."

Although Bella acted like she didn't care, I could feel the happiness radiating from her link. That and because her cheeks blushed. For all her sarcasm, Bella was really the textbook Tsundere.

'Darling…' 'Possum…' 'Shujin…' 'Husband…' 'Beloved…' 'Dear…'

Immediately I felt the other girls all acting spoiled and asking for pampering. Amused, I responded and showered them with words of praise and affection.

"And that is all I had to say, Thank you all for your time. Please help us," Gareth pleaded as he finished. The room looked towards me after the Phantom spoke, awaiting for my words.

"Thank you, Gareth. As you all heard. The situation is quite dire. Bringing in everyone to attack the base is a waste of time. The most important factor is that we need to hurry before the Alpha assaults the last stronghold."

I stared at the officers to gauge their responses.

"For this reason. The Invasion force will consist of only me, the Sirens. Amari, Mia and Connie."

"Me? My lord! I am no fighter! You want to jump into a war with ten-foot lizards?!"

Finding her confusion cute, I didn't leave her in suspense for long.

"Calm down. Connie, you said you wanted me to make a video about how I am alive, right? This invasion will be used for that purpose. The combatants will only be me and my battle harem. Amari and Mia will only serve as your guard."

A hand was raised and the one to ask was Joshua. The undisputed commander of my military.

"My lord, I am not comfortable leaving Connie under the care of strangers. While they both may be Phantoms their alliances are questionable. I do not doubt your judgement my lord. But are they allies who stand with us?"

Choco and Fluffy noticeably flinched at Joshua's direct manner of questioning. The reason everyone trusted this big-dicked Korean was because he took care of everyone regardless of status and gender.

It was so like him to ask the offensive questions on behalf of everyone present. Connie seemed touched that he spoke out. It seems that my decision to keep her has been shared by Phillip with the rest of them causing Connie to officially be recognized as "one of us".

"I understand your hesitation. I will introduce them later. For now, know that the two of them are tasked with evaluating our combat performance. Does anyone else have any questions?"

When no one raised their hands, I continued.

"The Sirens and I will fight our way towards the last base. We will take down the Alpha if we see it but unless it comes our priority will be saving the reapers in the Stronghold. This Operation will be called Scissor. We will cut apart everything in the 24th floor and establish a defensive line."

[My lord. I have placed a digital map of the one Gareth presented. Use it to get your points more effectively.]

'Thank you, Exa.'

I turned behind me, where the room's projector booted up. A image was shown color coded by the enemy markers listed by Gareth. I stood up and walked toward the presentations screen.

"[Inventory] BLR 81"

Rather than creating a stick using {Shelter} I proceeded to use my beloved lever action rifle as a pointer.

The room erupted in laughter as they made jokes about my pointing implement and my nationality.

I gave them a few minutes as these racist bastards joked at my expense. When I shifted my hands and cocked the lever, they grew silent. As they were now ready to listen, I resumed my presentations with the BLR 81.

"After the Sirens and I reclaim the Stronghold, we will open a {Portal} and transport the M777 Howitzers. We will take out as many as undead as possible while drawing the Alpha for a showdown."

As I spoke a picture of the M777 Howitzer showed up on screen. Allowing those around us to understand what I meant. I then turned to Joshua and the rest of the 2nd Amendment captains.

"Joshua, prioritize getting the 2nd Amendment squads to move. When the Alpha arrives, you and your men will be called to establish the battle line. Van and Terence will immediately fortify the stronghold as fast as possible."

The commanders all expressed their understanding by shouting in unison. "By your will!"

"Van, I want you to lead the effort to reclaim the fallen strongholds. Leverage the mechanized infantry, Krisha and the Yuddha Raksha, along with Isolde and the wyverns. Terence and his men are tasked with one thing, connecting the strongholds as fast as they can."

"Connect my lord?" Van parroted in confusion.

"Yes, our people need a place to live in. I will carve out that paradise from the corpses of the undead. Exa, pull out a layout of a floor."

Exa then changed the presentation and showed a floor layout of a single continent. Funnily enough. Exa was modifying the image real time like it was MS paint. My every gesture highlighted or colored an area based on my words.

Using the BLR's muzzle I then drew a circle around the Tier 7 zone zones all the way to the Tier 3 zones. The while circle didn't encompass all the land around the zones it was one, leaving gaps for the other parts.

"Van. This area will be our paradise. Use everything at your disposal and reclaim the land inside the circle. Terence and the Ten Graves will fortify and erect a wall by any means possible. Use zombie bodies if you have to. I want a defensible base by the time I return."

Mike then asked in confusion.

"Return from where Boss? Won't you be battling the Alpha? You practically gave all the fire power for the 24 floor. I mean you and the ladies are powerful but why not have the Dragon wing support you?"

"Tristan is right Ami! The Alpha's are strong! They are Champion rank! Take me at least!" Isolde pleaded.

I shook my head as I refused.

"No, the dragon wing and their mobility will be needed to reinforce the defense. I give you all a day. I want the defensive circle completed by the time I return. The Sirens and I will kill the Alpha. Once we do. Connie, Amari and Mia will separate and record the defensive battles instead."

"Mhmm. Hefe, the guns we have do a lot of damage. But even with the trucks it will be tough to defend that large of an area. I don't think we can do it even with everything we got. We need help."

Logistically I knew what I was asking was dangerous. For one, I didn't even know if flying between the zones was possible. Technically it should be possible as Krishna's groups crossed through the zones to get to the battle front illegally.

But even then, the officers knew Hellsend didn't have the leeway to defend, construct the base and cover such a large area. the objectives were just too much for them.

There was only one solution to this problem.

"I guess it can't be helped," I sighed in acceptance.

'My {Kindred}. I once again will be relying on you all. I need to go with Nyda and Leo to retrieve Evelyn. But the construction of our home is just as important. After we kill the Alpha, we will separate into two teams.'

At my words a palpable discomfort came from all of my girls.

'I will take three Sirens and rescue Evelyn. The other four will support the 24th floor base defense. I know you all wish to come with me, but we will reunite after my group come back.'

Despite my clear and logical explanation, I felt my girl's emotions begin to go berserk.

"Fuck," I blurted out in surprise.
