Invasion III
At the general's words, Abel smiled, "General, we think the same, I would like you to follow me to show you something," after finishing speaking, Abel got up and went out the door, Jian and Anthon were somewhat confused, however, with The whole situation and all the surprises that Abel had shown them decided to follow him, the 3 of them went to an elevator, which began to go down, when they passed the elevator it stopped and the doors opened, they could see a huge warehouse, in which You could see hundreds of tanks, and equipment of all kinds, Abel turned around and spoke "Very well, in this area we keep most of the experimental devices that we do not want to show to the public for certain reasons, however, seeing the situation I prefer to use them right now to wait for the situation to get worse ".
Abel led Anthon and Jian to a section of the warehouse where you could see various helmets and some metal pieces of different shapes, "General going back to the previous topic, I think that organizing rescue groups is a good idea, however, taking into account the fact that the invasion is progressing faster and faster, I think that a divided rescue would be very slow, and would end up risking more human lives ", while Abel spoke the map of the city reappeared," so far I have only talked about the first phase of the plan, which consists of creating a perimeter in the industrial zone, for this phase, Elisa calculated that with a total of 1,500,000 units we could cover all the entrances without problems, I would like the rest of the troops to make a counter attack , to repel the invaders towards the planetary portal, while the creatures retreat, we should seize the moment, to withdraw all the surviving people and soldiers, after the rescue we retreat slowly with all the units to the perimeter ".
Upon hearing Abel's words, the general frowned and replied "if we are going to counter attack, wouldn't it be better to go to the end? If we managed to repel them to the portal, we could eliminate them completely", with a sigh Abel replied "Elisa could you show them the data of the invasion to the general ", Elisa replied" yes sir "then several numbers appeared above the hologram of the city, in it indicated that every minute that passed thousands of these creatures were entering through the Portal, and within the city they had already more than 4 million, according to calculations, in less than 5 hours, there would be more than 20 million of these creatures invading the city.
Seeing the statistics the general clenched his hands "I understand, it is better to opt for a defensive tactic until the reinforcements arrive", Abel nodded and took one of the helmets and several metal pieces, "General I would like the attack forces to carry this equipment, the helmet has an integrated communicator at the same time that it will provide information to the users, while the equipment is a type of armor, it does not cover the whole body, but provides protection based on a magic shield, we only have 100 000 sets, I hope that you will select 100,000 of your best units to use this team, along with the tanks will be the spearhead, while the remaining 400,000 will provide help in the rear to rescue the survivors.
After thinking for a moment, the general replied, "I could have a feasible plan, however to prepare all the movement of troops it will take a couple of hours", Abel smiled and replied "General if you allow me, I would like you to use Elisa to speed up the process, as long as it gives her access to the database, she can use the drones to locate the soldiers also she is the one who will direct all the vehicles in this operation", this time General Anthon and Jian could not help but complain, after They had all understood that Elisa was an artificial intelligence and although it was the first time they had seen one that was so efficient and fast, they could not allow any failure in the operation and leave so much responsibility to an AI it sounded dangerous.
In the end, Abel succeeded in convincing them both, after showing them some characteristics of Elisa, in addition the situation did not allow them to delay in making decisions, after deciding what the plans were, the mobilization began, through the use of drones the team was delivered to the soldiers, in turn, the vehicles housed in the depots began to surface, although many soldiers were confused since the tanks with tracks or wheels were considered old vehicles, no one showed their dissatisfaction, after all as soldiers their duty was to follow orders.
On the other hand, the members of the Guild The Guardian, would join the operation, 50,000 of the best magicians were chosen to accompany the troops that would carry out the counter attack while the others would help to raise the defense perimeter, while all The General went to the DreamTech main room, since it would be the command room, on the other hand Abel went to one of the rooms on the lower floors and Jian followed him, "Tell me Abel how long do you think your team will take? to fix the antenna ", after thinking for a moment Abel replied" it should take about 5 hours more or less, I know we don't have that much time, but the antenna was planned to start working in 1 month, not in 1 day ", with a sigh Jian replied "Alright, where are you going?" In the last hours Jian had developed a lot of curiosity and appreciation for Abel, someone so intelligent would be valuable to the 10 clans.
As Abel listened to Jian he pressed a screen and the floor opened, and a platform emerged on which was MRA 00, while Abel headed to the platform Jian replied "I'm getting ready to leave", Jian frowned, " Are you planning to go out with all this chaos? ", Abel replied" Yes, we have to capture several of those creatures, in order to investigate them, we don't know anything about them which is a disadvantage ", Jian thought for a moment before answering" You are right, but, we can organize a group of soldiers to take care of that ", Abel denied" they probably take too long or end up killing the creature, I have a way to capture them, however I have to be present ", Jian insisted" It is very dangerous Abel , it is better that you stay at the base, I can go in your place ", Abel sighed" Uncle Jian I know that you are worried about me, however, you have to direct the operation together with the general, also like you I am a member of the 10 clans, I know I don't have the age I don't have the mentality to run an operation of this caliber, and I'm not going to sit around while the city is razed. "
After various arguments, Jian agreed to let Abel out, however, he would be looked after by a group of 500 of his best men, along with 1000 soldiers, and Jian did not allow Abel to reject this condition, while Abel and Jian argued, Anthon who was in the control room was thinking as he saw all the units prepare to go out through the screens, "Elisa, look for a good place to position a group of magicians to provide remote assistance", Elisa replied "Yes sir "In less than 1 minute a holographic map appeared, pointing to a point" Sir, on this hill you can see a large part of the city, and it is near the lake so it is totally out of danger while the defense perimeter is not fall".
Anthon thought for a few minutes and replied "it's a very far place, I don't think the observers can calculate the shooting distance", Elisa responded immediately "Sir, if you allow me the drone network can provide all the necessary information so that the magicians can cast the spells in the right place ", The general sighed" I really have to accept that they have hidden a lot of things ", Elisa spoke again" Sir if I may have a suggestion, apart from the team of magicians I would like you to approve the deployment of artillery units ", Anthon frowned" Artillery you say? ", Elisa replied" Yes sir, we do not have many artillery units, however, they could provide help to contain the enemy ", with nothing to lose Anthon decided to approve Elisa's request.
After a few minutes, Jian entered the command room, when Anthon saw him, he asked "and the boy, where is he?", With a sigh, Jian replied, "He wants to go out to capture some of the invaders, I know it's very dangerous, but he insists on go, therefore, I would like to ask you for a team of 1000 men to accompany you ", after a couple of minutes of discussion the general agreed to provide a squad to accompany Abel, after all he also agreed that it was necessary capture some specimens to get to know the enemy better, after finishing talking with Jian Anthon ordered Elisa "Very well, Elisa warns all the units that the operation is going to start", Elisa replied "Sir, I think you should give a motivating speech, we will use the drone network, so that everyone within the city hears his words ".
At present more than a quarter of the city had been invaded, ruins could be seen everywhere, soldiers fighting everywhere and thousands of corpses on every corner, it was an apocalyptic landscape, although there were many people running, much of the city was still calm and uncertain due to the blackout, suddenly a voice began to sound throughout the city "Greetings citizens of new dawn, my name is Anthon William and I am the General of the reserve army stationed in the City, in the Currently we are being invaded by an unknown extraterrestrial race, it is not a joke or a drill, citizens should go in an orderly manner to the industrial zone, as we will establish a defense perimeter around it, please I ask for solidarity in these moments of crisis ".
While the general was giving his speech, several drones began to descend in the direction of the various army squads that were still fighting with the invaders, the drones contained communication devices and a message indicating that help would arrive soon, that they had to continue resisting, a Once the broadcast ended, the city was thrown into complete chaos by the general's words, even though Anthon knew this would happen, it was the only way he had to save as many people as possible.
