Chapter 960: This Is War Part 1
When the Church of the Light invaded there wasn't much I could do directly, I could only command and help Nicole.
The special magic that Nicole created was based on computers, but the operating system of the screens was something created by Nicole, it was very intuitive for someone like me who spent my days awake in front of a computer screen.
There were hundreds of small screens around me and hundreds more around Nicole, if it was in the past, it would be impossible for me to pay attention to 5% of these screens, but for me now it's very easy.
I think faster and I can also think about more things at the same time, I also have some passive skills that further hone these mental characteristics.
I could pay attention to all the screens, even if my eyes couldn't see all the screens at the same time, I could still use my Aura to see everything around me.
The size of the screen also doesn't matter much since with the repeated evolutions all the senses increase a lot, I can pay attention to all those small screens with ease.
"Nicole, I want a bigger screen in front of me with the map of the battlefield, also put names on my Lesser Familiar pictures to differentiate between groups." (I)
"I was already preparing the map, I'll finish in a few seconds." (Nicole)
"Who will control the Ship if you help me here?" (I)
"I already took care of it, left it in good hands." (Nicole)
When I received the map, I configured it with the vision images of my Inferior Relatives, one thing I learned studying a little about magical engineering was that programming language does not exist in this world and will never exist, but programming logic is used a lot to the point since new configuration ways have been created using magic, I'm basically using this to configure my map to make it easier to identify the situation.
After just a few minutes everything was ready and the battle had not yet started, they were all stopped, the Church of Light on one side of the spatial distortion and us on that side.
"Has everyone been warned?" (I)
"Yes, but how do you want to do it, what's the plan?" (Nicole)
"I don't have a plan and it wouldn't do to make one, I don't have a clear sense of the situation because I can't understand the level of strength of many people on both sides." (I)
"So let's use someone else's plan, in the last few minutes Orion and Ragnar were talking to one of the Fairy Queens, thanks to your information we have a decent plan." (I)
"You just said you didn't have a plan 27 seconds ago." (Nicole)
"It's not my plan, I'm just going to go with it." (I)
This Fairy Queen was strange, she was kind of translucent as if she weren't here, even just sharing senses with Orion and Ragnar was enough to know that all the Fairies had their attentions on that Fairy Queen, so she must be important.
"It seems that the battle of those above Emperor Grade will take place far away from us, I don't know exactly where, but as long as it doesn't interfere with the battles here I won't care, those of Emperor Grade will fight outside the spatial distortion and those who will enter are mostly Lord Grade people or we can call it Bronze Grade as Adventurers classify themselves." (I)
"There will be a lot of Grade Kings, but those will have to fight in the sky, the plan is not to let those from this level and above pass the sky, they can't hold off all the enemies and so they must be selective." (I)
"Our numbers are different, so we can expect to see some Grade Lords here." (Nicole)
"I know, but it won't be our problem, people of the same rank will hunt each other, and our problem will be those in the Lord Grade." (I)
"Do you have the footage of when they started moving out of the Ships?" (I)
"I have it in my memory, I'll show you." (Nicole)
I thought of something and watched Nicole's memory, enemy army movement is patterned as expected of an army, at least those in Soldier and Templar outfits, Inquisitors seem to follow a less rigid movement pattern while Priests lag behind.
"(It's still the same kind of troop movement I've seen since the Morror Continent, but on a much bigger scale and with strong people.)" (I)
I keep watching as I look at the list of my teammates, I was seeing everyone thinking about how to organize them.
"I don't have much to think about, let's go with our strong point." (I)
Since my orders in the past, trainings in groups of three often take place in the Dungeon, even I have participated in these trainings.
"Nicole, did you finish that project?" (I)
"Yes, I forgot to mention it, but I've already given it to everyone and told them how it works, but range is still an issue." (Nicole)
"Doesn't matter, let's use what we have." (I)
Too bad I can't participate, but at least everyone is ready, I organize the groups and send them to them, what project I left in Nicole's hands was a small inspector's screen with a bracelet similar to a large watch, a magic item with telepathy functions, hologram and an emergency button to call for help in situations where death is just around the corner.
I split people into three-person groups where one of them attacks from a distance, one of them is a melee fighter, and the last one has more flexibility to help either of the other two.
I passed the groups I separated for everyone to gather, everyone will fight nearby, but they cannot fight enemies who attack in well-trained groups.
"(The best solution is to fight unpredictably, that way they won't expect our attacks.)" (I)
With everyone ready, I start running simulations in my head of how to move everyone while we wait.
"Zenos! Everyone is ready, may I start?" (Diana)
"Not yet, but be prepared." (I)
"This is taking too long, what do they want!?" (Diana)
"Wait, in time you'll see." (I)
I already knew the answer to that, they were waiting for the time when the 3 Suns are highest in the sky and they are strongest, they must want to use some powerful technique to break through the spatial distortion, that would be the best time.
I look at one of the screens where it shows Harthos on top of his bird shaped Golem with hundreds of people behind him, I know he's not in charge but he's still one of the leaders, I'm sure he's been told not to do that first move.
Whatever the Church of Light is going to do, two things are certain, the first is that it will burn a huge amount of resources, and the other thing that it will wear out to do it.
Letting the enemy make the first move can be dangerous, but this method can have its advantages.
"Zenos, look over there, do you feel it?" (Natasha)
"..." (I)
"Damn..." (I)
In the distance, I still couldn't see anything, but a faint presence I could make out, or should say my instincts were telling me about them.
In a few more minutes Dragons the size of Ships were flying towards us, they seemed to be very big and they all had white scales, one among them even had white horns and had a slightly different body shape, he had a big medallion hanging around the neck with the Coat of Arms of the Church of Light.
"Dad, that one is" (Nicole)
"I know..." (I)
At this moment I really wish I was strong enough to crack open someone's skull with my bare hands, I knew just by looking that it was this Dragon, the Elf King of Dark Elf Village told me about that Dragon.
When he emerged he looked directly at us, I could see the hatred in his gaze, but then he turned his fierce head in another direction, from the images of the Ghost Crows he was able to see them better, there were 28 True Dragons.
That was a huge force, I saw everyone go quiet with fear, but the Dragon I hated the most was still looking at the surroundings with eyes full of doubt.
"Diana, do it now." (I)
"< Awakening of Fenrir >" (Diana)
"< Will of the Alpha >" (Diana)
ROARRRRRRRRR!!!!!
Diana transforms into her Werewolf form, her height almost doubled as her clothes and weapons adjust to her new size, then she roars into the air using her Aura and Authority creating a wave of energy coursing through everything in the surroundings.
This is a Skill that Silvia taught her, with that all those who are of the Man-Beast Race or who are worshipers of the God Smite will gain a Wolf symbol on their bodies that increases their stats for a whole day, this will give the same effect as stretching into Diana's Aura even if the person is far away from her.
This ability still puts a lot of pressure on Diana's body, so I planned to let her use it at the last second, but with the arrival of the Dragons of Light, I couldn't wait any longer.
"(That bastard, how dare he show up after destroying an entire city for nothing!?)" (I)
I was worried, but also nervous since the True Dragon with the medallion around his neck was Shiro, the True Dragon of Light who tried to kill me while I was there and destroyed an entire city in the process.
I wanted to kill this bastard with my own hands, but I'm too weak, my only consolation is knowing that soon he will be in for a very big surprise.
