Chapter 638 Fate and Its Threads
The undead hordes, numbering in the millions to billions, relentlessly advanced toward Glenn's territory. Despite the overwhelming odds, Father Black, the seasoned war veteran now tasked with defending the land, stood undeterred. His ghoulish nature added a layer of resilience and ferocity to his already formidable combat skills.
Ever since Vinegar had brought them back to the territory, the absence of Lenny, lost in the complications of transportation, left them with the realization that they were on their own. Unaware of Lenny's whereabouts, they had to prepare for the impending onslaught. Fortunately, Glenn, driven by the vision of turning this territory into a sanctuary, had tirelessly worked on fortifying its defenses during these crucial months.
As the undead approached, the territory, now under Father Black's command, stood as the last bastion of free humanity in this desolate world.
It gleamed like a fragile flower in a vast expanse of vile mud, a symbol of resistance against the encroaching darkness. The fate of the free world rested on the shoulders of those within the protective walls, ready to confront the nightmarish horde that sought to devour everything in its path.
A temporary table was arranged for the leaders of the sanctuary to convene. Among them were Elder Isiah and Elder Zod, representatives from the city of Milk and Honey. Perseus, Scarface, and Scarface's daughter Nikky, who had all risen in rank due to Lenny's favor, were present as well. Crusher and Insect Bee completed the assembly, each leader readying themselves for the imminent battle.
Father Black, the veteran in charge, approached the table and unfurled a sheet displaying the battle plan of the area. As the map was laid out, a collective frown swept across the faces of those present. The depiction revealed their territory at the center, surrounded by numerous red dots scattered throughout. The ominous markings conveyed the impending threat that loomed over their cherished sanctuary.
Father black addressed them, "yes ladies and gentlemen! It is as bad as you think it to be. we are surrounded on all sides."
Scarface immediately made an observation, "The Territory has the ability to teleport to different places on the globe. can't we just use that and escape instead?"
Father black nodded, "yes the territory does. However, for such a massive land to be teleported, a massive amount of energy is needed. All the time that the territory has moved, it had done so with the help of Glenn's invitation stone. but during the battle at the city of milk and honey, We lost that Stone. As it is, the territory barely has enough power for two jumps and that is on the condition that we shut down everything, and minimize on our way of life."
The news was abrupt making them all turn silent. This was most so for elders Isiah and Zod. But of them had been mighty elders back in the city of milk and honey. But here, they were only merely symbols, representatives of a people that had barely escaped an extermination.
Their Alpha, victor was still in a coma. A lot of power had been transfered to his body at the same time and digestion of that power would be a while longer.
If not, Victor added to this fight would have created a stronger fist against the enemy that now hit at their doors.
"the undead army are now in their billions! This is what our arial surveillance tells us. Even if we teleport to another part of the globe now, this relentless army will still find us, and if we are not lucky, there might be more of them." father Black added.
Crusher nodded his head as he leaned forward to speak, "I have never been one to shy away from a fight, but i still say that we should avoid fighting if it is possible, and build on our strengths first."
The moment he said this, many around the table nodded.
Father Black understood their words very well and explained. "This brings me to the next problem, charging the core for a transportation teleportation will not be easy at all. it will take us at least several hours for it to be fully charged. like I said, we have no choice but to face them. Of course, there is also that item..."
The moment he said these words, Perseus brought a large crystal ball from a bag.
This Crystal ball had been given to him by Lenny. This was the same crystal ball that lenny had looted from the Red skull school for magi. he had gotten it as a mission requirement from the Sisters of Fate.
Lenny had a mind unlike any other, and the moment that he realized the plan of Mr Asmodeus to take the entire city of milk and Honey hostage in other to put pressure on the Primordial beast, he decided that it was best to take all of them away.
Taking them all away was also not enough. He also had a backup plan in case things did not go according to plan, and that was, of course, this crystal ball.
Back then, Lenny had seen how it was used by the magi of the school.
All they had to do was touch it and send magic energy into it. The stronger the magic energy was, the stronger the protective shield on the school became.
Back then, Lenny had taken away the crystal, promising that he was no longer going to continue his killing spree.
Now, this crystal was proving to be more valuable than anyone would have ever thought it would be.
As Perseus explained how they came about this crystal ball, Crusher could not help but chuckle loudly. "Yes, that seems like what that bastard Lenny can do!"
Even Insect-Bee by his side thought the same thing.
Others at the table could not help but look at this two weirdly. However, they did not care.
Meanwhile, unknown to them all, the make, or appearnce of this crystal ball here was not at all a mistake. After all, at the time, lenny had been carrying out a mission for the Sisters of fate. And as the saying went: fate worked in mysterious ways...
