Chapter 297 - SPU’s Attack
The news report regarding the attacks and the strange reports of the events of the battle in the Caliphates began to garner attention.
And while many news focused on the Civil Wars, news of the emergence of a certain nation inside the Caliphate nations was quickly garnering attention.
A new nation was being rebuilt due to another power insisting that this nation should rise, especially in the era of the time. The Jews were targeted for human trafficking, be it for sex, drugs, experiments, and whatever known perversion, abuse existed worldwide. What was even startling was that the supposed allies of the Jews, the Caliphates itself, aided this human trafficking.
Several individuals who were proven to be Planteds became the key sources of how these Jewish natives would be kidnapped under the guise of working abroad or on the different side of the world. Their existence would then be manipulated. Working men assigned to these regions would either be reported to have died of an accident, a casualty of the battle against another nation, or would even have run off with a mistress and go off the grid.
But now, these accusations were being discovered as the Commanders and Generals of the Caliphates were able to unveil the connections between the Planteds and General Joab Barak.
Various organizations all over the world vowed to fix it. The Caliphates itself declared that a new Caliph would emerge and would be controlled by the Jews. To the shock and anger of many and the joy of so many more, the nation of Israel was being rebuilt.
Shark Umberton received several sponsorships to begin gathering the many Jews all over the world as more and more reports of human trafficking emerged. A daring plot headed by an African conglomerate allowed Shark Umberton to transfer his entire wealth and company to the Caliphates. And all over the world, many began to follow on the footsteps of this company. Shark Umberton became a powerful persona that began to gather the support that the Jews needed.
But on the other side of these gruesome and heinous crimes was a strange report and conspiracy theory that would make everyone cover their mouths in shock.
Up in the sky, a large flying serpent flew on the borders between the territory of Pangea and the SPU. It was as big as the Pangean Tatsulok if coiled up from end to end. But unlike the Tatsulok that floated over the waters, this one was flying in the air. An army of Exoskeletons and several Armors were flying next to it.
Inside the Command center of this ship were the best Generals and Commanders of the SPU.
"Sir, alone air craft is spotted. Its cruising speed isn\'t fast, but it doesn\'t look like a civilian airship." One of the soldiers reported.
"Prepare to shoot it down." A General gave his order.
"This is war, and we are here to conquer. Even if that ship is a civilian aircraft, it\'s not like the WGP can reprimand us." Another General laughed.
"Yes, Sir!"
"Prep my men for battle. We are nearing the Lingkaran of Malay-Pangea." Another General ordered.
One of the General\'s shook his head but didn\'t say anything.
"I advise the other Generals to prep their men."
"With your forces ready, I\'m confident that I won\'t need to send mine." Another General answered.
"Whatever. I want three mid-tier rockets to be fired at that aircraft. It looks military and will have the means to shoot down our rockets before it hits." The General ignored the nonchalant response of the other and gave another set of orders.
"Yes, sir!" The soldier immediately complied and armed the rockets that were aimed at the UFO.
The disk-shaped ship continued to fly without showing any signs of panic even when several rockets were aimed at it calmly. The SPU forces didn\'t bother to hide the craft that their rockets were locked on to them.
Inside the aircraft, several soldiers and a few teenagers were listening to the news. Another group of soldiers was panicking as they detected the rockets locked onto them.
The television was turned on and was tuned into a news broadcast.
"Ongoing reports of Caliphates obsession with this so-called Phallic Techs continue to circulate the globe. The WGP has denied all allegations and knowledge of having such technology, but more video evidence emerges on how the Caliphate soldiers carry dildos in their Exoskeleton suits." The reporter continued to narrate.
"It\'s been three weeks, and people are still obsessed with this." Tyler laughed as he watched the news report.
"The mad lad Lowengren. I heard from some of our new recruits who worked in the Atlantis that they\'ve lost communication of Everhiss\'s daughter."
"Please be more serious! We\'ve detected several powerful rockets aimed at us! The SPU didn\'t bother to communicate and is prepping to fire! And that\'s Empress Everhiss to you!" A soldier dressed in the attire of the WGP Commander argued.
"Hey, newbie. Relax!"
"Relax? We are in the middle of a war! The enemy numbers twice our forces! Even if we are Unlocked and even if you are more experienced and stronger than me, that cannot defeat them because of their numbers!" The former WGP Commander argued.
"So? We were far outnumbered when we raided the Kraken. We were able to bring it down!" Scribbs laughed.
"Because of trickery and deceit! Without it, you wouldn\'t have been able to do that!"
Tyler shook his head and merely smirked.
"What do you think this little mission of ours is?"
"It\'s to see each other\'s capabilities." The former WGP Commander answered.
"Yes. That\'s exactly the point. Do you know what our mission is?"
"I know what our mission is! We are to attack the SPU and distract them! And then those guys who are Overcomers will infiltrate the base and attack it just as you did! We are to incur damages to make sure their fleet retreats."
"Overcomers? No. No Overcomers are joining this battle. It\'s too menial for them!" Tyler laughed.
"Sending an Overcomer to battle an army? That\'s crazy. Do you know how strong the Overcomers are now? I\'ve been having wet dreams ever since that Tyrant Empress appeared." Scribbs shook his head.
"Me two…" Tyler sighed.
"Me always. How can I lust after someone I haven\'t seen? It\'s crazy." Earl complained.
"The report says that the higher you are in the Unlocking, the stronger its effects are."
"Can you get more serious! The fleet is approaching! We only have fifteen soldiers in here, and most of them are teenagers!"
"You want a go with this teenager? You may have been a big shot commander, but in this room, a little girl like me can beat you to a pulp. With or without a suit!" Dara glared at the WGP Commander.
Most members of the Covenant were present, and each was relaxing and doing their own thing. Danny was having a video chat with Meryl.
The former Commander wanted to argue, but his team couldn\'t win against this woman alone.
"You guys are good. I\'ll admit it. But it would take to be more than good to beat an army."
"You\'re right…" Meryl frowned and glanced towards the window where she was seated.
"Oh, come on! Dara. So he\'s a little better than you! No need to get all cranky!" Scribbs laughed.
"A little better than me?" Dara glared at Scribbs instead.
"Oh? I know that look. Dara\'s in love again! First, it was Seeker, and now it\'s with him?" Danny laughed.
"Who\'s in love with Seeker?" Meryl asked through the call.
"Dara." Danny laughed.
"Oof. Get in line, Dara. Even I never dared to want him." Meryl laughed.
"Oh? So should I see Seeker as my love rival?" Danny asked.
Meryl blushed and defended her previous statement.
"Hey! It\'s General Seeker, and stop gossiping, Danny!" Dara blushed as she hid her face.
John and Titan, who were busy playing an odd computer game on the side, even chuckled.
"This is what I\'m talking about! You may have gotten strong, but you are all so arrogant! You think of yourselves so above everyone else. That\'s what the WGP thought, and we fell. Can\'t you learn from how you exploited us?"
"Um… No. The WGP lost because they were simply weaker than us." Titan answered.
The Commander and the other former top soldiers of the Kraken and the Atlantis wanted to shout. Still, this teen had fought all of the former WGP soldiers together and made and trounced them.
"Yes. Besides, he has been very irritated recently. I don\'t want to get in the way when he fights."
"True. Even Dara\'s tough-girl character wouldn\'t want to be outside." Scribbs chuckled.
Dara\'s blushing pink turned scarlet red in anger. But she couldn\'t find herself to answer back.
"I\'m the Berserker, and even I don\'t want to go out. He\'s twice as cranky when we had that mock battle last week!"
"Mock battle? I lost three fingers, broke two ribs, and had to undergo several bone correction surgeries." John complained.
"Why is he cranky, anyway?" Danny asked.
"He hasn\'t seen his girlfriend for nearly a month now," John answered.
"Dara. Try to fill in the void." Tyler joked.
Dara was red to the extremes.
"Seriously though, Dara. Why do you fall in love with guys who manage to beat you up? Are you some sort of an M?" Danny asked.
Titan unconsciously nodded his head but stopped before Dara could notice.
"The first volley of attacks will be reaching us. Let\'s prepare to deploy the Eradication Pulse." Earl announced as he could see several volleys of long-range rockets.
"Look\'s like a perfect chance for him to move closer without being detected."
"Right. Slow down the speed and let the rockets reach our range. Deploy the Eradication Pulse." Tyler made casual orders which Scribbs followed.
"General? You\'re up." Tyler called through his transmitter.
"When are we suppose to move in?"
"When it\'s too chaotic for them to care about us."
"Too chaotic? Don\'t tell me that the General plans to fight them all at once?"
"He\'s cranky. He needs to let out some steam! Give him a few minutes to vent his anger out."
"What? That\'s an army he\'s facing! He won\'t be able to move away unscathed from the focused attacks of all of those Exoskeletons, Armors, and a freakin\' King Naga!"
Harker\'s Trio and the Covenant suddenly laughed. Only Dara didn\'t but gave the soldier a contemptuous look as if looking at an imbecile.
"Oh right. He must have missed that training session! No wonder he doesn\'t understand!" Earl realized.
"What training session?"
"Just watch, newbie. By the time the General\'s done he should already demolished a fourth of all those Exoskeletons that are already flying." Tyler assured.
The rockets were quickly approaching the aircraft, and Scribbs immediately activated it.
A green shockwave erupted around the ship. This was Eradication tech that contained another weaponized Path. The Desolation of the Dragon created a chemical reaction that caused the approaching rockets to detonate.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Three huge explosions rocked the heavens, and the ship that the Unlocked were own even vibrated from the power of the explosions.
Their ship moved out of the smoking and fiery explosion and revealed itself to the SPU army.
The soldiers inside the King Naga were stunned at what they saw.
"What happened? What was that green shockwave?"
"Sir! It looked like Pangean Eradication."
"Chase after that ship! And send in another volley of rockets! I don\'t believe that they have the capacity to keep releasing that green shockwave!" One of the Generals ordered.
"Send in a platoon of our fastest Exoskeletons and shoot that ship. Make sure they maintain a distance of about twice the radius of that shockwave." Another ordered.
Unbeknownst to the approaching SPU fleet, a lone Exoskeleton had used the explosion as a means to hide the powerful fluctuations of his suit. His suit had one of the most advanced techs that Seeker and his team have created so far.
The young man had a very cranky expression that occasionally would turn grimace as if he was bearing great pain. Sweat was pouring down on his face.
"I must find that place immediately!" He vowed to himself.
