Chapter 52 - 10 Planning

(A/N. Just wanted to tell you that there will not be a chapter next Monday as I have a lot of work to get done, sorry.

P.s. I was really tired while writing this chapter, so sorry about the spelling mistakes)

"So.... let's start"

I looked around the small sectioned off area that was made specifically for this meeting. Inside the room was a small group of seven individuals besides myself. There were four Living armours one of witch was the female that had brought me here, two Magma golems that were actually a little smaller then their normal kin and finally there was one Thunderpede that was currently coiled comfortably around a large stalagmite.

The reason why I had gathered them here is because they were more gifted when it came to things like strategy then fighting. You see when an Abyssal creature is born they seem to be given basic knowledge about the world and their abilitys. However, some of them seemed to be more gifted in areas that others of their kind are not and because of this fact I have tried my best to help them improve on what they are good at. As for these seven specifically I've been using what knowledge I have gotten from Benimaru on battle planning and strategy to teach them what they need to know.

"Yes creator" the Living armours all said in a ghostly and ethereal sounding voice.

"Hmmmmm" the Magna golems simply nodded and let out a deep hum in response.

'As you wish' the Thunderpede's strange voice that sounded like metal grinding against metal could be heard as they used thought communication.

"Alright then, you all know why I have asked you here" after getting a nod from everyone I continued.

"Good, so as you all know we need to plan the first attack on our soon to be enemies. So far I have a some what rough idea on what we should do but I'm open to any suggestions you all might have"

'Why don't we just stay inside of the cave and continue to build our forces?' Mika asked, I was the only one who could actually hear her so I quickly told everyone her question.

"It's because we won't be able to hide forever, eventually, if our numbers continue to grow like this they are going to end up finding us and when they do we will lose two very key advantages"

"The creator is correct, not only will we lose the element of surprise but we will also lose something much more important" one of the male Living armours said.

'The option to choose were and when the battle is going to happen' and the Thunderpede said finishing the Living armours sentence.

"Correct, right now we are completely out numbered, however, if we can do this right we may be able to take a large chunk of the island before the cultist can even react and we could also greatly increase our own numbers"

"So then, what is plan?" a gruff yet some what feminine sounding voice that also sounded like the crackling of fire came out from one of the Magna golems.

"Well before that there is something that I need to do first. Hey dig guy, do you mind giving me a hand" I turned to look at the closest of the Magna golems that was slightly bigger then the female one but still smaller then the rest of his kin.

The Golem simply nodded and slammed his fist into the ground, as soon as he did this the ground started to shake and ripple as if it was water. Several seconds passed by as a large rectangular slab of stone slowly rose up and formed something that looked very close to a table.

After this I quickly pulled out a rolled up peace of old paper, I then placed it on the table and spread it out so everyone could see what was on it. The paper was actually a very old some what ripped map of the island that we had somehow managed to find in the junkyard. I was thankfully that Mika was able to help us with some what updating it with all the new locations that it was missing.

It showed all the locations on the island, the storage, the training ground, the junkyard, the slave camps, the burial site and finally the capital. The capital was at the back of the island on the other side of the mountain, it was a large port city with two walls surrounding it.

(I'm thankful that I still have access to all my stuff that I have stored in the abyss) I said as I pulled out an ink pen that Kaijin had made.

"The plan will take place at the end of this week, so five days from now the mission will start. Also with in that time frame I should be able to create several dozen more abyssal creatures to help out, however just so you all know I don't plan on creating any new types right now as it would take too long to properly get to know their skills and how to actually train them"

"Also with in that time we need to scout out three different locations, one of which we already have a lot of information on" as I said that I point at three locations on the map and draw a circle around each of them

"First, the camp that is just out side the junkyard, from what we know there is only around twenty three guards posted in that area so it should not be that hard to take. Next is the training ground, we know the general layout of the area and that there is at least several dozen cultist and puppets guarding it as well as a Bishop that may or may not still be there"

"And finally the one we know the least about the slave camps, out of all the places we need to take this one is the most important. Without the help of those prisoners we are going to have a very hard time holding the ground that we capture, after all right now we just don't have the numbers to hold the territory that we take for very long"

"The junkyard will be easy for us to take and hold, however, what exactly is your plan for taking the other two locations?" The female Living armour asked.

"Well the plan I have come up with involves our forces splitting up a little. The first group consisting of most of our forces will first capture the junkyard before then heading straight towards the slave camps. The second group will also help quickly capture the junkyard before then heading off towards the training grounds"

"Any suggestions so far?" I asked while glancing around the room.

"I think that it would be for the best to have a third group that's job it is to stop or at least slow down any enemy reinforcements, just in case any of them actually show up" one of the Living armours suggested.

'I agree with him on that' the Thunderpede nodded in agreement.

"Okay then" I said agreeing with the both of them.

"Now as for me, I will be going with the second group and as soon as the place is captured I will turn around and come to the slave camps to help out there"

"Why no go with first group if slave so important to future plan?" The male Magma golem asked.

"Because it will take longer for the first group to reach there destination, the second group will probably get to their objective long before the first group does. So I think it would be easier for me to head to the training grounds and get that finished quickly before then coming over to help the first group" I respond.

(Also I really do want to get my damn revenge on that bloody Bishop) I thought to myself.

I had to admit I really wanted to get some sweet revenge on that Bishop for killing me, even though I would never admit it out loud I was still rather pissed and frustrated with myself about that whole mess. Honestly a part of me just wants to go all out in my Phoenix form and burn the place to the ground but sadly for me we need to capture it.

"Anyway, now that I've given the basics of the plan I think that it is time we talk about the more finer details of the plan" this got me a nod from everyone.

'Hey..... c-can I speak to you after this meeting, in private I mean" I was a little surprised when Mika spoke out of nowhere as she had been rather quiet this whole time.

"Errrrm, sure"

=======Somewhere else pov=======

"Hmmmm"

"It seems that we're going to be having some uninvited visitors arriving very soon, how very delightful indeed" a cold and sinister yet happy sounding voice echoed out from all the dark corners of a small castle.

"It seems that the Sixth was correct in his ȧssumption, however, to think that the intruder we have been looking for was one of them.... it's quite unbelievable" a deeper more monotone voice said.

"Does it really matter what they are? For fuċk sake they could be a fifty foot dɨċk with legs and I wouldn't care what's so ever, all that really matters to me in the end is if they are capable of entertaining me for a little while" as the some what happy sounding voice continued to speak the castle's interior seem to become colder and colder.

"Anyway, this is going to be very interesting. I wonder if I should go and greet our guests before they arrive..... no, no I think that it would be more fun to just wait and see what they have plan for us, don't you?" at this point ice had begun to appear all through out the inside of the castle.

"It doesn't matter what you do, after all they're all going to fall in the end no matter what you decide" the deeper voice responded with seemingly no emotion.

"Oh, aren't you just the fuċkɨnġ definition of cheerful. I'm so glad we ended up together, like seriously, your caring and motivating words are the only reason I have not yet fallen in to the bottomless pit that is my despair and depression" the happy voice said sarcastically.

"But anyway should we tell the Sixth right now or after we have captured this interesting intruder? I'm sure that he would be just rock hard when he hears the amazing information we have for him... but then again I really can't be bothered dealing with his bull shit. What do you think we should do my very cheerful companion?" The happy voice asked thoughtfully.

"Why should I care what you choose to do? It doesn't make any actual difference in the end now does it, as long as the job is done what does it matter"

"Oh your right, I'm sure he wouldn't mind me having a little fun before we inform him and if he wants the information any faster he can just get his fat ȧss off that fuċkɨnġ throne of his and come here to get it himself"

"Hahaha, oh this is going to be very entertaining. I can not wait to see what exactly you are capable of, so please come quickly now, my mysterious intruder" as the voice said that two glowing blue eyes appeared in a dark corner of the castle.

(A/N. Hey....errrm.....I have a question for all of you. Why the heck does some random guy in episode one just run up in broad daylight with several dozen people around and stab Rimuru before then just running away? I am curious to know if that was ever explained because it confuses me every time I see it, the guy doesn't even say anything, he just appears out of nowhere and stabs Rimuru then just runs for it)
