243 Downfall II

V.41 Downfall II

Reports of the Ganesh making a move immediately reached all the forces in the defensive line.

Immediately all leading forces such as GFA, The Coalitions, and Merchant Consortium, began to enter the formation they have discussed before. Mercenary Guild and Adventurers Guild issues an emergency summons to all their top members to join the war.

Emergency summons cannot be ignored or they will face heavy punishment. Such is heavy fines or expulsion from the guild and to all its amenities. It may sound like a light punishment, But it is not.

Once a mercenary or Adventurers has been expelled they will be blacklisted by organizations linked to the guilds. In other words, they can kiss their job goodbye as no one will give them any jobs or commissions.

And that's not all, they also won't be able to use any shops and establishments that have connections to the guilds, and that's pretty much everything.

Meaning they won't be able to enter any supply base, and that's pretty much a death sentence if you are a space explorer. Because 90% of the supply base scattered throughout the bright Galaxy have some kind of connection to each other...

Even many black markets and supply bases under criminal organizations are relying on the organization like Merchant Consortium to survive, and Merchant Consortium is connected to Mercenaries and Adventures Guild. For they are all part of the Galactic Trade Union...

The Jolly atmosphere they felt when GT reinforcement Arrived is once again replaced by fear and uncertainties.

Admiral Ford once again addresses all the soldiers in an attempt to raise the soldier's morale.

Luckily Admiral Ford and the other leaders immediately cut all the connection to the Internet to all the ships except for those responsible for communication. After all, connection to their respective Organization needs to be maintained at all times.

Admiral Sheila and other reinforcements already arrived in the (Defensive Line)

In the Defensive Line, thousands of ships can be seen, they are all lining up and maintaining defensive formations.

It's an impressive sight, giving the impression of a mighty and unbeatable force. Only the leaders know that GFA and The Coalition's that 80 percent of their forces that are supposed to be here are nowhere to be seen.

GFA has more than a hundred fleets under its banner and yet less than 10 are here in the Defensive Line, The Coalitions only sent 4 fleets.

The Elders of Merchant Consortium were livid when they found out the number of fleets each force had sent.

It has to be said the Merchant Consortium have sent close to Fifty Fleet. Even the Mercenaries and Adventures Guild has managed to form forces equivalent to 10 fleet each, and yet GFA who can be considered to be the Leading Force against the Ganesh only Sent 8 Fleets 3 of the fleets are survivors of the Attacks on the Crossing. 4 were the initial reinforcements and only Admiral Sheila decided to move without orders from HQ to reinforced Admiral Ford.

Among all the huge organizations GT has the lowest number of Ships. As Oda only sent two fleets. The reason is that GT wasn't able to build many Ships so far.

The number of ships GT has is only enough for a 2-4 fleet. But to make up for the lack of ships, billions of Drones were sent instead, along with the unmanned Mechs and Small ships with what GT's called Corsairs.

Corsairs are mainly used to defend the manned ships, they are part of defensive systems to protect the battleships and command ships. Especially the command ships.

While drones have their own systems and can be considered independent weapons, Corsairs are part of the ships themselves.

So far GT hasn't sold Corsairs yet to the public, this is their debut battle. Of course, they have undergone many tests both virtual and real, but officially this is their maiden battle.

Originally Corsairs was set to be introduced when the Future Tech. Officially launched their first battleship Solar MK.

But because of the sudden development with Ganesh, its release date has been canceled.

In fact, some of the Solar Mk. Those who were supposed to be sold are now being used by GT to form a fleet to be sent as reinforcements.

Yes many of the Ships GT sent as reinforcement are Solar MK. Of course, their weapons systems have been replaced by unmodified versions, and not those downgraded versions GT was selling to the public.

"Report!"

"Ganesh ETA 30 minutes."

"Activate the defensive shield!"

"Yes sir!, Activate Defensive Shield!"

Suddenly the shield drones in front of all the ships started glowing, then an octagonal Shield appeared in front of it, followed by another, and another. One by one the Shield Drones were activated forming a massive shield that covered the whole defensive line.

"Activating Defensive Shield"

10%

20%

50%

80%

"Shield activation complete"

"Deploy the mines!"

"Deploying mines!"

Behind the shield Drones, countless mines are being deployed after it was deployed it entered a stealth mode to prevent the enemy forces from seeing it.

Thousands of miles away from the mines are the first defensive lines, which consist of combat drones and unmanned Mechs.

Followed by combat ships from all forces. These are small ships piloted by the best combat pilots from all forces, right behind them are mechs. Ace mech pilots are there waiting for battle, the Fallen Angels and Carnage are part of this, this is the second defensive line.

The third defensive lines are the battlecruisers' space platforms equipped with cannons and high powered lasers.

And finally the command ships.

(Meanwhile in GFA Elders Conclave.)

"Do you have any idea what you are doing?" Shouted Elder Mikaela her face was red from anger. She couldn't believe Jeremiah would betray them.

Jeremiah looked at her but didn't say anything, there's nothing more to say, he sat back down on his chair and closed his eyes. His fate would be decided by the coming battle.

When Elder Mikaela saw Jeremiah ignoring her, she became even more furious. When she's about to lash out, Elder Markos stops her.

Markos knew, there no use convincing or berating Jeremiah, as he already made his choice and there's no going back for him.

Mikaela despite being furious she sat down, she too was an elder after all, and controlling their emotions is easy for them. For them, as elders, their actions are not based on emotions, but on gains and profits. Whether it's for themselves or for their respective Organization everything they do is based on only two things Gains, and Profits...

When Jeremiah sat down and closed his eyes. The other elders also stop clamoring. They all sat down and stopped talking. No use discussing tactics and strategies, for the fate of the Galaxy is no longer in their hands.

Queen smiles when she sees Jeremiah sat down; she knew Jeremiah was now officially on their side, he can no longer go back.

So she walked to the side of Jeremiah, she looked at the Elders who were now looking at Her.

"Relaxed Elders, we don't want your life we just want you to be obedient for awhile and not do anything stupid. Just relaxed fate is already on the move all we have to do is wait for it to finish."

Queen knows, every elder's life is being monitored by their respective Organization, if something happens to them the organization's they come from would immediately know, and that's not good for her. For they will immediately send a force to investigate what happened.

The Elders know this too, so they are not afraid that Queen would do anything to them.

Suddenly the monitor in front of them changes and the battle on the defensive line is being shown.

Queen furrowed her brows. Even Jeremiah open his eyes. He knows this is not their doing... And no force under them would do this without orders from them.

And only one force is brazen enough to broadcast this battle, GT.

While Queen and Jeremiah are worried. Markos and some of the elders are smiling...
