Chapter 166: The Children Of Medusa (VI): Outpost

[You have routed out an alien invasion on Elysium before it's even started by taking out one basic scouting unit of BOA empire. You have gained prestige for your faction, you have been rewarded. Rewards withheld until further notice]

Rezar frowned in annoyance, the rumblings they had heard had actually came from a mound of earth moving aside to expose what Rezar could and wholeheartedly call a space ship, and it was fucking massive, with a significant emphasis on the fucking. Some things were making sense, and at the same time he was still very confused. Of the memories he had of his human life, before the upload and the Eldritch combination of a human and artificial intelligence minds, Rezar knew or at least it was common preconception that games don't have an update unless it's actually been carried out.

But this was Elysium and even though it couldn't be considered a game, it still had elements of it that would make it seem like a game, it was a virtual world completely populated by humanity, controlled and pushed forward by humans based on their decisions, choices and experiences. Rezar had half a suspicion that everything he's been experiencing so far was due to the update that was coming, and until it was finally here, things would keep getting wonky and weird for him.

Rezar looked around, there were actually a few Nagas still left alive, completely shocked and afraid by the current stream of events, the area where their battle had just taken place was at least 300 meters wide and 250 meters wide. The space ship completely covered the entire space with barely any room left for movements of any sort. It was black and it was grotesque, it's looked like the head of a snake, but there were edges to the side of it that popped up, it would be something like the horns of a viper if it stretched backwards a bit.

"I am so confused right now." Screet said as he stood besides Rezar, looking up at what was probably their biggest reward from this entire fight. Rezar turned to Screet and said.

"Don't worry about it for now, take the remaining undead and scout that cave ahead, be careful seeing as you now have only one arm. Let me know what's there, and if there's anything that can be carried out, then do so, it's a miracle that cave is still standing." Screet nodded his head and ran off to go complete his mission while Rezar just looked on with a full look on his face, Scree had barely even went inside when he called out for Rezar.

Rezar checked everyone else to make sure that they were still okay, especially the Kitsunes as they had lost a close turned and were Currently in the middle of grieving for him. Rezar let them do so, he would have offered to turn their friend undead, but he had been turned to stone and then shattered. Rezar jogged until he came to the entrance, and then he walked in.

[Welcome to BOA outpost 92! You have defeated and conquered this outpost would you like to take command of outpost or grab the territory core.]

{Take Command/Obtain Territory Core}

Marble floors and well made concrete walls painted all white, there were displays on the wall, normal screens and then holographic projections that gave off information in a language Rezar could not understand. This place was Cavern, it was massive and wide enough for Medusa and the Wyrm King to move around with ease. While it wasn't as big as the Cavern he had lived in when he was still a slave, they had similarities. There were caves or rather tunnels that led to other parts of the outpost, all of them modernized.

This entire place was built, not carved into, which was a little surprising because with this sheer amount of space, sophistication and technology, it's damn obvious they have been here for a very, very long time. In the middle of the cavern there was a massive metal pillar that reached the top work the cavern where it spread to make a sort of display area or rather control deck with thick one way windows Rezar couldn't see through.

There were walkways and bridges crisscrossing through the entire facility, and looking down a bit it seems there was even more below ground, like a basement of sorts. This place was not just an outpost, a cursory glance at the walls showed slots where tiny guns and cannons were minutes for defense in case the place was ever taken. This was a military base, and rather than take it's so called core, Rezar would instead take command of it and add it as an asset for Elysium.

If he's able to get the teleportation arch the orcs had used in bringing them here, then he would be able to get his people here to take command, and beyond that. The ship that was fortuitously left outside for them could also help, besides this would help him understand just what sort of enemies this [BOA] empire were, and how he would deal with them, because frankly speaking it had taken a lot out of them to best the Medusa, and then it turns out she's just a basic unit…..Rezar shuddered to think what more of them would look like, or what kind of horror they would bring should they decide to carry out an invasion.

[You have taken command of BOA outpost! You're now connected to the BOA empire secret network, please head to the terminal for more information.]

Rezar raised his head up to look at the massive pillar, obviously the terminal was right at the tippy top of it, but nevertheless he had spent enough time here, and he would make sure no one would be coming here yet, especially not the orcs. He would come back later with Alistair and the Muriel elves to properly take stock of what was in front of them, but for now they have a gauntlet to win and a Plain game to win.
