Chapter 283 - Blessed Being Part Four (1/2)
If one gazed at the surroundings, east of New Casablanca, one would gaze at a ravaged wasteland that didn't contain any untouched paths. The ground was filled with numerous holes, and gaps were inlaid everywhere, a remnant from the war with the beasts, but mostly from the red haired Akainmhar and the winged entity, Thol'Yr.
The result of their fight could be seen from inside of the bubble that protected the city. But the state, inside of New Casablanca, could lay back as a screaming urgency was threatening their streets.
A pack of ten strong mutated beasts had resisted the appearance of the bubble energy shell and were still running in the smooth and clean street of New Casablanca. They laid destruction everywhere, as they followed the buzzing armored MechSuit next to them, that seemed comparably tiny when next to them.
The monsters separated, as each of them slid in one street as they followed the vehiclse and footed soldiers that had come to face them. They killed dozens of soldiers with one wave of their gigantic limbs, and had soon become a threat to the entire city, even more, dangerous than the creature outside of their wall.
”We need to take care of them before the energy wall disappears.”, roared one of the generals that had made his way to the battlefield. He stood in the back of a vehicle, one street afar from the humongous creature that was being confronted by a small army of flying MechSuit.
”How is the evacuation on going?”, asked the man while pressing a small object hidden behind his ear lobe.
”Seventy percent of the population is currently evacuating through the highways, and would soon make their way to the Core.”, he heard a clean voice appear in his head as his red eyes glinted. His computation AI worked rapidly as he analyzed the series of events that were ongoing.
Large graphs filled his view, with numerous rising and falling curve that showed the state of defenses of his city. He analyzed the long line of numbers as his hand began massaging his chin, before moving to his temples.
He closed his eyes for a second, his wrinkled face relaxed slightly, before asking one last question.
”How much time before the city is free of anyone except the armed corps?”, asked the man as he opened his eyes. The humongous creature in the distance was reflected in his iris- as the soft light of the sun illuminated the street he was facing.
He nodded, grunting in agreement with the time he had been asked to fight for. ”We will hold them.”, he responded before breaking contact with the logistics crew.
”Engage them!”, he roared as he gave orders. A map of the city appeared in front of him, his eyes darted left and right as he gazed at it. Large red dots of different sizes could be seen in different places of the map, some close to the point where they were touching in the screen, while some were separated by a few streets.
The only good news he saw was that the dots were still confined in the north side of the central district of New Casablanca. The general analyzed the map, the position of the different armies, and prepared the order he was going to give. His mouth opened, as a determined and loud voice escaped from it.
”Separate the beast by any means. Our number one goal is to lead them away, do not confront them to the point where you might lose your life.”
”Lead them, try to deal constant damage to their defenses. But do not overstep your boundaries.”, his powerful voice entered the ears of the MechSuits pilot as he gave another line of order.
”Hear me out, soldiers! Do not lose your life. We had already lost too many soldiers when the breach in the wall happened, and the war is far from over.”. His fatigue and sadness flowed through the frequency released by the AI he had, touching the heart of the numerous soldiers that had survived to this point.
Tears welled on the corner of their eyes, as they grasped their weapons in steel clench, and gazed at the evolved beast with reddened eyes. Roar escaped from their lips as their MechSuit flew close the evolved beasts, dealing damage while avoiding being killed at any cost. They fought, with nearly twenty soldiers surrounding one beast, as they tried killing it to help the soul of their brother rest in the afterlife.
Their resentfully battle-cry spread through the city as it attained the ears of everyone in the northern army. It reverberated, with every soldier adding his roar, into one deafening sound that rose the morale of the soldiers.
Their pent up pressure was released in one go, as they once again took hold of their arm to defend their city against the dangerous monstrosities that were running amok inside of their city.
Their out of control action had to be taken care of, because the number of fallen MechSuit carcass laying in the street- where the northern army had held the beast wave- numbered in the hundreds.
