Chapter 373 - Defense (1/2)

The council of war in Zairus just learned that another alien spaceship decided to descend on Montego…

It is quite far for them so reinforcements and supplies wouldn't arrive that fast… The country would have to hold on for a while and try to defend against the spaceship…

”They have the Magic Tower with them… I think that they're pretty strong even without our help.”

Marvin C.u.m.m.i.n.gs, the representative of the Congress, commented…

Troy Webb and Yumi Juria looked at the man. They're unsure whether he's joking or not…

Only the three of them were at the table right now and the others were just a projection as they are also quite busy with other matters.

Aaron Schmidt, who heard Marvin, expressed his concern about the way he was thinking.

”No matter how strong their Towers are, the powers of the aliens shouldn't be disregarded at all. You've seen what happened in outer space… Although Wallace reported that some of their equipment may not work, their most powerful technology would still run without any problems...”

”That's right… I think this is a good chance to destroy it and take their technology to study them. There's only one spaceship in Montego and this might be a chance for us.”

Troy added after hearing the young man.

He knows that the Lucent Force just acquired a spaceship from Wallace's factory and only their forces can move fast and send aid to the island country…

However, without the approval of the council, they have to remain within the borders of the country and protect it from possible invasions.

”What do you think, Yumi?”

Charles, the head of the council, asked. Because of her familiarity with Wallace, she knows a lot about his plans.

But everyone here has access to Avalon already… So she felt that it better to ask the A.I. instead…

”Mhmm… Let's ask Avalon first.”

”Very well.”

They then summoned the A.I.'s presence to facilitate their meeting…

”Avalon, how strong is that spaceship? Are they at the same level as the ones that landed in Kazan?”

[ No. The Black Sovereign that just descended is stronger than the combined forces of the spacesh.i.p.s in the State of Kazan. ]

”What?!”

Everyone was shocked after hearing Avalon's report… They are already thinking of exploring the spacesh.i.p.s but it seems that it will be very difficult for them.

”How come it's that strong? I saw that Wallace's spaceship destroyed one of those spacesh.i.p.s… Isn't that right?” Hayden Fraser asked curiously…

He's not doubting Avalon's calculation about the power of the spaceship but he wanted to know the reason behind its rating.

[ The attack in outer space is different. They have no prior knowledge about the power of our own spacecraft and the existence of various Mana Spells. However, they already have information about it and they would most likely stop probing the capabilities of the magicians. If they engaged in battle, there is a high chance that they'll no longer reserve their powerful technologies and use them accordingly. ]

Avalon tried to be brief with its explanation. After all, there is a country being attacked right now. They have to quickly make a decision on how to approach this war.

”Thank you for letting us know, Avalon… Do you think that Montego would last for long?”

[ Yes, they have incredible Mage Towers that even Veda could not properly gauge. There are also numerous magicians on standby to engage in close combat. Even if the aliens decided to destroy them, it would still take a while giving plenty of time for its allies. ]

”Mhmm… You might be right, Avalon… But do you know whether all the other spacesh.i.p.s would descend later today?”

[ We are still unable to determine the purpose of their random descent. However, it would be better if you will still be ready in case they decided to descend here. ]

”I see… So we can't find a pattern yet.” Yumi muttered after hearing the A.I.

It's indeed difficult to guess since there's only a couple of descents they could study right now.

Nevertheless, after Avalon heard this, it decided to add Wallace's speculations. Although it is still not accurate, it might help the council decide on their next move.

[ Wallace has informed that the Empire might be looking for some strange energy on the planet aside from their plans to capture the natives. ]

Avalon already informed them before that the Empire would most likely plan to capture the native magicians of this planet.

After all, it's a common practice in invasion so it's not that hard to guess.
