Chapter 543 - Book 5, Chapter 48 (2/2)

To ht bait If the bait was too big the fish couldn't s it, no ht not catch the fish's interest This bait… this bait was just right If the wastelanders could take this fortress… the implications would be incredible

Most iainst the bulk of Skycloud's th There was as much potential for them to annihilate the wasteland's armies as there was for Skycloud's to be wiped out An obvious but masterful scheme

The Khan offered his insight in that robotic, emotionless voice “Skycloud will throw a lot of its power at this fight Arcturus hioes his way It may be our one chance to cut off the head of the snake Once Arcturus is gone, even if we lose this battle ill have won the war”

Everyone was stunned by the suggestion No one else would dare suggest killing the Master Demonhunter as a primary objective

In addition to his phenomenal power, it was a rare for Arcturus to ever leave Skycloud This situation was obviously different Considering how high the stakes were, they could expect Arcturus to ht, it was probably their one chance

That being said, Arcturus absolutely was not an easy es away in one strike, but that was unlikely to happen He knehat Arcturus was capable of, he'd seen it first-hand He was not the sort you took head on

“Let's cut the shi+t” Cloudhawk rose to his feet and looked over the group “Tiet to the heart of the matter Tellto put on the line in this fight?”

Cloudhawk got straight to the point He didn't expect so success fro Dawn home

He didn't have enough people to do that, not alone All he had at his disposal were the Talons Best he could do was serve as the tip of the spear The bulk of their forces would have to come from the Dark Atom and Nox

Eventually, they came to an accord The Dark Atom would contribute a thousand soldiers under Coal's co and a thousand of his wargs In addition, Wolfblade would offer what reinforcements he could and the Khan would lend Cloudhawk a hundred Black Knights Altogether, it added up to a th for Greenland

In return, Cloudhawk had to do what he could to crack open Skycloud's defenses

Though they acknowledged their support was lioal was different fro, only Dawn

“Someone's here to see you!” hellflower made the announcement “Representatives from the Goshawks”

That was strange… what did they want now? They weren't ready for a mission like this

Although the Goshaere Greenland's et theht like this would obliterate his special forces Still, Cloudhawk agreed to speak with their chosen representatives

“Governor We request perroup of officers fro the his mind when face to face with his leader “We want to show those Elysians astelanders are made of!”

The request took Cloudhawk by surprise “This is a dangerous fight Have you thought this through?”

Morale a sent, why not the Goshawks? We can't sit here like turtles with our heads in their shells This fight concerns every last wastelander Someone has to show these Skycloud bastards that astelanders aren't cowards!”

Cloudhawk could tell their fervor was genuine They really wanted to do their part He was short lieutenants to coht, as he to turn the to be one hell of a fight Might as well er
