Chapter 180 - 180: Brewing

"The new president is athe flesh of his own comrade!"

"We must elect a president that is worthy of…"

"We ather up arms to usurp this tyrant that sits above…"

Outside, in the plaza, the leaders of the other s out; scattering and spreading the news about what happened yesterday They have been so for arnered the attention of a lot of people

"Our new president is a h"

"True, true He reminds me of my son"

The people, however, were co the other leaders frustrated

"He is afor yourselves, all of you would run away for your lives!"

"A monster! A monster I sa--"

Before one of the City leaders could finish what he was going to say, a reverberating noise echoed throughout the plaza as the gate of the castle slowly opened up The other city leaders quickly shut their mouths as Van walked out of the castle, his hair now fully pulled back, revealing the scar that adorned the left side of his face

Latanya, Gil, and Cynthia were following him from behind

One of the leaders was about to open his mouth, but before he could do so, Van stared at him

""

The once rowdy and lively plaza was now surrounded with nothing but silence as Van scanned the faces of each and every city leader Afterward, he looked at the people that were gathered around the plaza

"Get ready," he said, "We are heading for the Portal in 3 days"

"A… already?"

The people once again started to whisper ast each other

"Miss Latanya and mister Gil will tell you about the plans here in a few hours," Van continued, "It is up to you whether or not you will join and come…

And it is also up to you to be stuck here in this place forever But I a all of you now that this place may be your home, but it is also your Graveyard"

Van looked at the people for a few seconds before heading back to the castle, leaving the Prisoners with eyes filled with resolution Although they could potentially live a new life here, Van was ultiht-- This place is a Graveyard A thousand years of the Portal being active proved only one thing, the resources were finite Soon, this place will no longer provide any Crystals… They were barely even seeing any h most of theh that it could soon no longer support the hurow every day

Rick, the former leader of the Eastside of the Enca to each other as the three of them walked away from the plaza

The Locals, however, still had a trickle of doubt in their eyes They had no idea what they were really fighting for, they had no idea whether it orth it or not… but one thing they do know is that if there is a bigger world out there-- then they want to see it

Slowly, the crowd on the plaza dissipated, leaving the other city leaders talking to air And soon, without even knowing it, the date of their war for freedom has come

Some remained in the confines of the City, uninterested hatever this so-called real world will lead the they ever knew, and for the that

They were, however, theinside the Wall Almost all of them have never seen the Wall before in their life as they were prohibited frorand infrastructure hidden to them, their excitement could not help but double

But it wasn't until their reached the center of the Wall that their jaws truly dropped

"T… that's the Portal that the others keep ?"

"It… it looks so cool!"

"First tilowed due to the White Portal reflecting on their eyes

"Listen up!"

As soon as Latanya's voice echoed from the center of the Encampment, the clamor of almost a thousand people quickly died down

"As planned, the Prisoners will be the ones going in first to clear the guards waiting on for us on the other side!" Latanya said as she waved her hand, standing on a pedestal of earththe people outside and more aware of the layout of what awaits us on the other side!"

"Hm" Most of the Prisoners nodded their head as they stepped forward

"We assure you, their nuether, the freedom that you did not know that awaited you will be finally in our grasps!"

"Y… yeah!"

This strategy was the saain The only difference noas that they had strength in nu to lead this attack, it would only be proper that Latanya would be the one to do so

The Prisoner Enhancer-types that were chosen to go first all started to stand in front of the Portal, their body completely covered in a layer of earthen armor
