Chapter 390: Confusing Andronze

The lone Armor of Vender moved in the desert and finally stopped at a certain location.

"That was... impressive. We surrender." Grant Hermes's voice could be heard as Vender opened various ports to allow the wind to come in.

"Woah! This is cool!" Vender was amazed.

"General Vender. You'll pay for what you did later. I wish to communicate with Arthur. I'm sure all you Zone users must have felt it."

"Hermes. Listen up. I'll list down the possibilities of where this war will take us. But simply put, we are to let the Aragarians fight and kill each other. Vender made it possible. Now it's up to our lies, truths, calculation, and the sheer power of your team to turn this petty misunderstanding between Presiders into an all-out war." Arthur suddenly spoke.

"I'm listening."

And so, Arthur told of the plan.

In the dimensions beyond the third...

Pridgeon never believed that his attacks worked.

He knew what he was up against was a Top-Tier Presider. A mere rocket that can pass through the three dimensions may kill the forces of Low Tier and even Mid-Tier Presiders, but seeing the techs that Crostfree had and witnessing the power of Garenjazz made Pridgeon rethink everything he knew about the tier system of Presiders.

With Garenjazz making a fool of his plans, Pridgeon assumed that he was still the worse of all Presiders and that he just managed to find some good toys to play with.

As such, he planned to pit whichever Top-Tier Presider controlled the elite men with the Mid-Tier Presider Andronze. His attacks were supposed to be an opening attack or an attack that would deceive.

By shooting those attacks the moment the odd man claimed to activate the Grant her mistress her wish protocol, the Top-Tier ought to think that this was an attack that Pridgeon had in collaboration with Andronze. There was also a possibility that this attack would act as an opening to allow Andronze from doing some damage.

But the elites all died. The Universe energy was dispersing, proving that there was a powerful weapon or tool among the elites. But now he destroyed it. The Top-Tier didn't take any action to defend or interfere with his science.

Pridgeon couldn't imagine what the Top Tier had lost in that attack.

"What's going on? I am sure that whichever Top-Tier is here, stopping that attack should be possible and easy! So why did the attack succeed? Is the Top-Tier Presider using that to identify my location?" Pridgeon asked.

"Presider. There is an anomaly within our space. Something... huge is falling to Egypt!" One of the Pioneers reported.

"It's the Presider! Try to scan any changes in our Dimension Scanners!"

"It's distorting, Presider! We can't get a clear scan from that area!"

"Look for any approaching signals that may breach all the recorded human techs or if it causes fluctuations beyond the three dimensions! If you detect any, send a message to that person using a Presider Link."

"Yes, Presider." The Pioneer agreed.

As the attacks occurred and created destruction, Andronze, who was flying at top speed, saw the reports and sensed the Universe Energy leaking.

"Who could it be? Why is it fighting those Presiders claiming to be from the future?" Andronze couldn't understand.

Andronze continued to send pings at the team of Pioneers at his area.

"Why aren't you all answering me?" Andronze shouted in anger as he sent a direct link to one of the General-Pioneer in that region.

"Greetings, Presider!" The Pioneer greeted.

"What is happening there?! If you don't answer, I'll blow your head off!"

"We are unable to detail the exact nature of what's happening here. We don't have a choice."

"You don't have a choice?" Andronze frowned and realized something.

"Can you tell me if another Presider met you?"

"I do not know the answer to that question." The Pioneer answered. There was great fear and hesitancy in his response.

"I see. What can you tell me?"

"There is a great battle with various fluctuations that exceeded the expected limits that earthlings can create. A large tornado has formed above the region, and the war-"

"I get it. You can only tell me things that are obvious. Where was the last area where you could fully report in detail to me?"

"In the fortress..." The Pioneer answered.

"I see."

Andornze immediately used her techs to hack the base and see the video files of the CCTV. As expected, all recordings, audio, or video were blank.

"They were aiming for that... But why?" Andornze had deduced that the Pioneers in the region must have been confronted or captured by the Presiders that she was secretly following.

"These Presiders are careful and strong. They fooled me to think that they were moving to the west side of Egypt, but they were aiming to go to the east. But why? Are they fighting with a Top-Presider? Is that man that they are looking for with them?" She cursed. At first, Andronze didn't rush out to look for them. But when more and more of the strange reports reached her, she decided to go and search for the group and utilized Locust techs to search for them. The trails she found led her west.

But little did she know, these were all according to the plans of Lowengren. He reached out and paid random folks a huge amount of money to do the strangest things through various online transactions. With Arthur guiding him, these little planted pranks were enough to lead Andronze to the eastern regions until she concluded that the group had left Egypt.

"Those bastards!" She cursed.

Immediately, she contacted the person that she knows could report to her.

"General Aurom. Get me that soldier you found. Major Lester!"

"Yes, Sun God!" Aurom saluted. The call he received made him tremble in shock. This was the Sun God! He immediately rushed towards the Command center.

"Major Lester!" Aurom called out and gave the special comm device to Major Lester.

The room had no other Commander and only had Harker and his team.

"General. This call is very classified. Please allow us to talk to the Sun God alone as it involves several secrets regarding my original mission." Lowengren spoke.

"Of course." Immediately General Aurom left the room.

"Which Presider do you serve, and have you been captured or controlled by another?"

"Presider! We were in the service of Pioneer Flantter, who is also known as Joab Barak. We were part of an elite team that Presider Pridgeon prepared after killing Crostfree." Lowengren spoke and immediately dropped the bomb.

Andronze was so shocked that she paused.

"Cro-Crostfree was murdered?"

"Yo-you didn't know?" Lowengren was stunned.

"I told you we should have blackmailed Presider Andronze! She doesn't know of this!" Another voice spoke.

"Are you an idiot? Why would I blackmail a Presider?!"

"With everything that has happened in the Caliphate region, it's clear that all Presider's don't know of each other's techs and secrets! They are all starting to kill each other! Look what they did to us?! We were all massacred if we don't have an ace at our hands! Don't tell him about the you-know-what!"

"She's listening, you idiot!" Another angry voice erupted.

"Then let her listen! Presider Andronze! I've had it with you, Presiders making a mockery of our life! If you don't assure our safety, we won't help you win this war! We received techs from those naked boys, and we are not afraid to use it!"

"Naked boys?" Andronze was confused.

"Damn it! If we've gone this far, we might as well go all the way! We also know where Patricia is! The one that Presider Yennek and that other Presider is looking for."

"What?" Andornze was stunned. That name was among the names that the former Presiders claimed to have found. The Presider that talked about being from the future sought a person called Patricia.

"That's right. We know where they- errmm... Sh-she is! We know where she is!"

"They?"

"Ye-yes! I said they because... you know... Pa-Patricia is comfortable with that gender pronoun."

"If you tell me everything... I will assure your lives and-"

"Ah, shut up! Give me a break! Pridgeon said the same thing before he sent my brother and father on a one-way trip to the Kraken where they all died! No! If you want our information, we demand something else!"

"What do you need?"

"Ye-yeah, what do we need?" Another voice asked.

"We could ask for that one?"

"That one? Orange soda?"

"Does she have orange soda?"

"I have orange soda." Andronze confirmed, although she was very, very confused.

"Really? You have the Nefilus lifeblood?" One of the Pioneers challenged.

"..." Andronze didn't answer. But what she heard spurred her heart.

"Ask for something else then. I never expected you to know those words." Andronze placed a strong front.

If these Pioneers knew of something called the Nefilus lifeblood, then it means that Pridgeon is far, far stronger now. And since he managed to kill Crostfree, this made Andronze fear Pridgeon all the more. As such, she could only pretend to know of that unknown object which she knew would be related to the Nefilus body and act as if she is of similar power to draw in these men.

"Ha! As expected! She doesn't have Orange soda!"

"What a weakling. She doesn't know who Patricia is, and she doesn't even know Orange Soda! That other naked Presider was right."

"Yeah. But wait! What if... that one? Isn't Presider Lanterk after that person? After her?"

"Right! Her!"

"Alright, Presider. We can help you and provide information for this war, but you have to give us her! We don't know who she is, but Presider Lanterk was looking for her! Even Presider Zeraphine was helping out to look for her! The daughter of that man, Lennus something."

"It's Lennox. Lennox Humpty."

"Right! Presider Andronze, if you give us that person, the daughter of Lennox Humpty, then we will give you information."

"You mean the daughter of Lennox Humphrey?"

"Whatever his name is, yes. We won't be at ease if you could kill us anytime. But since three or four Presiders are looking for her, we will always have an ace at hand! We're tired of being your slaves! We're breaking out to join the Lost Primordial's faction!"

"I told you, the Progenitor! We'll be killed if we join the Lost Primordial!"

"The Lost Primordial has Burgers, but the Progenitor has Orange Soda! So we're going with the Progenitor!"

"I don't have time to hear you bicker. I'll give Guinevere Humphrey after you help me fend off these invaders."

"What? Are you going to fend them off? Are you insane? Is she insane, or is she just so lost."

"Well, she has been hiding here for some time. She might not know the movement of the other Presiders."

"Then why don't we split the information up. Offer only what she needs to know so that she will keep being reliant on us?"

"This does sound so cool. We're actually ordering Presiders out!"

"Don't test my patience!" Andronze shouted.

"Idiot! Don't anger her! She's still a Presider!"

"So-sorry! Presider. We can give you more information, but whatever you do, don't tell Presider Pridgeon about us!"

"Right! He might call you soon because she would blame you for those naked Presiders! But listen... Another Presider is coming here! One that is so strong that Pridgeon is afraid of!"

"We'll talk later." Andronze ended the call. Her hands were trembling as she saw the report. Preisder Corstfree's signal was reacher her and attempting to call her.

Was these crazy bunch of Pioneers telling the truth?

She took a deep breath to calm herself.

"Presider Pridgeon. To what do I owe this pleasure? Is fighting the Top-Tier so scary?" Andronze laughed.

"Hmp. So you knew after all." Pridgeon answered.
