Escanor was now standing, in the main lobby on the ground floor, talking to Triss about their plan of action.
After he warned her about the gates time for the break she immediately asked the other awakened to start the plan and now they were in the main lobby welcoming everyone.
People were rushing in through the gates, Escanor himself was surprised at the amount of people.
"Did you open the staircase? fit and capable people should use the stairs while the elevators should be for elderly,special needs and women with kids." Escanor said he was noticing Trisses gaze on a certain individual about to go to the staircase.
"He is also like us but is hiding instead of helping? what a Coward." Triss said through her teeth.
"Oho thats the first time I've seen you like this.
you should know not everyone is capable of fighting with the unknown and even fewer capable of being confident against it." Escanor pride was overflowing to the point even triss knew what he meant.
'This guy really needs to be humbled soon or he might cause himself trouble.' Triss thought.
"But you're right, our chances increase significantly with you here i can't even fathom what would happen if you fell... i mean... ahem. defeated." Triss scratched head awkwardly she didn't need to say that did she.
"Well if the unlikely day that I'm defeated then... it would be the end of the world no?" He said questioning her.
"ha..ha.ha.hahaa. anyway what do you plan to do once it breaks?" she was curious as Escanor said he had a great plan, fool proof and there was no way it would fail.
"Yes. im glad you asked, first i will go to the front gate after i block the back entrances."
"okay..."
"I would stand there alone and wait for the break to happen."
"aha."
"When the monsters come out they will sense that this build has the most life force out all buildings."
"ok..."
"They will come rushing at us and i will kill them."
...
"aha. NO." Triss was shaking her head furiously.
"you can't be serious?." her eyes was pleading for the real plan but unfortunately that was all escanor has got.
"It's about time to get to positions, call all the members who will be participating, I got a few things to say."
she called eveyone and got them to come and soon everyone who was awakened, except those who wanted nothing to do with fighting.
As they all gathered all eyes we're on Escanor.
5 ladies and 15 men in total.
Escanor felt they were sizing him up, so he decided to flare his aura just a little bit and activate his kings gaze.
He looked everyone single one in the eyes, but none dared looked back so naturally he was pleased.
"As you all know, we are awakened.
that term in itself means we are no longer the average human but far from it, It is our duty to end there abominations in their tracks and show them that we are not livestock to be harvested."
"I will be at the forefront of the battle, I alone will hold them at bay and make them wish they never left that portal, your objective is to take care of any stray and mediate the situation outside and inside this building, any of those that decided not to come...well may god help because I know I won't."
Escanor finished his little speech and eveyone was in agreement.
Then a kid with a bowl cut tiny build raised his hand.
"Uuuhh sir I have a question, what happens if you can't give orders or direct us at that time?."
Escanor then put his hand on Triss's shoulder.
"Then you will you follow her word, I believe gathering us like this was her idea so she is capable of making logical decisions and i believe anything she says will be sensible."
Triss blushed a little bit, she did not expect escanor to put her on the spot.
"how are we supposed to fight with no weapons, not all of us have magic you know."
Escanor looked at the gruff looking man, he was tall and big boned, probably a tank type.
"Contrary to what many of you think, I will be the one taking care of them, you guys will watch the back and take care of strays, throw a car, throw a chair, beat them with your fists, it matters not as long as you stay in position, report regularly and keep what ever is coming out of that gate from coming in."
Everyone now had clear understanding of what is going down.
"Now eveyone to positions!. We got 30 minutes before that thing becomes unstable." Escanor now raised his voice and eveyone felt energised they rushed to do their respective tasks.
Escanor overlooked everyone before heading to the front of the building, he was excited.
