June crept through the shadows, stalking alongside the others. Amber, Mira, and Emily were with him, along with at least 3000 rebels. Five hundred Chimaeric Demons, Erik's powerful clones.
"How much until we arrive?"
"5 minutes."
"That's not a lot," Amber said. She was thinking about the situation, and she was scared. The rebels planned to assault a significant Blackguard outpost inside the city. The one where Momentum was. Erik gave them this information, but it was only one of many they received following their assault on the enlistment facility.
All that information allowed the rebels to create chaos, and since the rebels got a lot of prisoners, Erik could have been a little more forgiving with the information he kept from them since they could blame this information on them.
Ahead, the towering blackguard headquarters loomed, its spartan design a representation of the repressive government they were trying to topple.
June knew Erik was nearby, and he couldn't help but worry about his well-being despite knowing it would be extremely hard for something to happen to him.
As they approached, June spotted a patrolling group of blackguards.
"Kill them," June said. With a silent nod, the Chimaeric Demons sprang into action.
Within moments, the guards lay dead at their feet.
"Good job, guys."
The group encountered several more patrols, each one taken care of by the Chimaeric Demons who made it look like child's play.
As they neared the entrance, June could feel the tension rising. This was the moment they had been preparing for. The most important thing he was hoping for to happen was that the plan he made up proved successful.
<But if Noah had been able to plan the attack on Fasard, why wouldn't my plan work?>
He glanced at Amber, Mira, and Emily. They were mirroring his same sentiment.
The attack was too important because here they could find out where to find Zakir. But that would not be the only thing they would learn.
The rebels knew where Richard was, but until now they couldn't attack the place because they didn't have the right equipment, they didn't have enough people, and most importantly, those they had were too weak.
But with Erik's supplies and his Chimaeric Demons, Now that became possible. They had to try, though, to see if they could take a place this well defended. Should the operation be successful, they could assault the jail and free Richard.
Of course, that was if things kept going like this. The problem was, since the whole situation involved the blackguards, there was no way to say they wouldn't change so drastically to force them to act differently.
Regardless, once Richard had been rescued, Erik would have free rein. He could kill Volkov and decimate the blackguards within the city, while his clones were on his side.
"Are you ready?"
"Yes," Fischer said. The rebels around nodded.
"We are," Mira, Amber, and Emily said, looking focused. The Chimaeric Demons didn't talk.
June raised his hand, and the clones surged forward.
Erik's most trusted clone watched as the Chimaeric Demons surged forward. The rebels followed behind, brandishing an array of weapons and brain-crystal powers, but of course,
different brain crystal weapons and armors were with them.
As the Chimaeric Demons reached the entrance, they encountered the first wave of
blackguards.
One Chimaeric Demon barrelled towards a group of Blackguards. It moved with blinding speed, its muscular limbs blurring as it struck. The Blackguards raised their weapons, but the Chimaeric Demon was faster.
Its fists smashed armor and sent the Blackguards flying with every blow. The blackguards at the entrance were not much to them.
One tried to retaliate, but the Chimaeric Demon batted the attack aside and continued its
killing spree.
The same scene was repeating all over the area, with the Chimaeric Demons killing the blackguards as if they were just some random thugs from the streets and not the utterly
deadly and efficient soldiers they were.
In turn, the rebels were struggling. To the Chimaeric Demons, these guys were nothing, but to the rebels, even the low-ranking blackguards were a mortal danger.
The blackguards, caught off guard by the sudden assault, struggled to mount an effective
defense in quick time.
Their confusion was visible, as they had not anticipated such a bold attack on their heavily fortified building.
A Chimaeric demon tore a group of blackguards apart, spilling blood on the ground. Another launched a massive boulder at the entrance, destroying it.
"WE ARE UNDER ATTACK!"
It took some time for the blackguards to realize the situation and react, but in the end, they did. The blackguards sounded the alarm, and that was what Erik was waiting for.
