V.53 Hands of Cain II
Arc looks around and saw the pleading look on their eyes, which is very rare as these guys are all fighting junkies like him and wanted nothing more than to fight powerful opponents and won't shy to enemies they encounter, but those disgusting things are the exceptions.
One look at it and he himself wanted nothing to do with it. He looks at the Faithless and those muscles without skin and looks like it has been submerged with a chemical for a very long time, looks like it's about to fall off, and he also notices that some part is made of machine because he saw some exposed wires and metals on some Faithless. The droids have no problem dealing with them. Many of them are covered in some kind of greenish liquid that comes from the faithless that the droids have decimated. ~1-Star Droids are really very powerful~, sometimes he forgets that the droids protecting are all 1-star and not some droids that he used to have.
As all of them are converted into 1-star droids the moment he bought a 1-star Cybernetic Armed Factory from the system.
"Don't worry those things are all concentrating on the droids on Eve's side." but as soon as he said that he can already smell a weird chemical smell on the air. He looks at everyone and their faces are a little pale none of them wanted to fight those disgusting things except for Lilly, who was already swinging her huge sword.
But of course, they will still fight it if they have to, but if they have a choice they don't want to. He looks back and sure enough, those disgusting Faithless are already crawling very fast toward them.
He sighs and nodded at everyone. All of them closed their helmets and even though they can no longer smell it they can still imagine it. The droids at the very back of him are already engaged with the faithless. He also notices that there's some kind of inscriptions written all over the body of the faithless.
He runs forward and summons another set of droids to deal with the increasing number of faithless, he also receives a notification from Eve that they just lost their first droid.
He knew that was only the beginning. As the number of faithless increased the ones that replace them are also more powerful than the first.
Now he is no longer in a joking mood, as the number of faithless increase according to Eve the number just reach a million. It's a good thing that with eve and specter in control the droids are faring much better as to when they left to their own AI. like the one, he is using, and yet he didn't ask Eve to take over just yet. He still has more than fifty thousand droids in his storage, he wanted to see just how far the droids can deal with the faithless with their own AI and with a simple order from him.
So despite moving forward he keeps monitoring the droids he left behind he looks at Specter and saw he is becoming more proficient in controlling the droids using different formations and tactics to deal with the increasing number of faithless. He Wasn't worried that his enemies would escape during this time as the whole area is under his control or to be more specific it's under Specter's control. Specter's physical body meaning the ship is parked above the sanctuary sealing the surrounding space.
And Eve is doing a good job rescuing the HOC servants who were hiding in fear from the faithless after all the faithless will attack anyone who is not a member of HOC, and them being servants doesn't really count as being a member of HOC. So as soon as those faithless was released their fate was already sealed. If not for Eve using over two thousand droids to rescue them all of them would already be dead. And this move surprised the member of HOC especially the Pope and the Cardinals as they saw a number of droids broke out of formations and started rescuing their servants. Something they couldn't comprehend.
After all, those servants of them have absolutely no value whatsoever to them their lives are nothing more than ants on the road for them. Even if every single one of them has been killed, there's always a way to get more of them even if they lost all of them.
The only thing they probably regret is that educating a servant takes time especially since every servant is tailored to their needs but compare to everything else the servant's lives are inconsequential. So they are very surprised to see that their powerful enemies are using some of their forces to save those insignificant servants of them.
"Kro what do you think of that?" the pope asks one of the Cardinal. Kro is considered the tacticians of HOC, he was the one in charge of the HOC army, and it's not those faithless but the members of HOC as every HOC member are considered as soldiers.
Kro didn't answer immediately but instead keeps on looking at the monitors or more specifically those droids that are rescuing their servants.
But after a while, he shakes his head. "This actions can mean many things, but this actually does not make sense, it could be that their leader is somehow connected to those servants of ours, but the chances of that are very small as our servants come from many regions all across Eden, or simply he or she was feeling some kind of sympathy to those servants of ours"
"Can we use this weakness?" asked one of the cardinals
But Kro just shakes his head. "I know what you are thinking, but I feel that they will simply be abandoned as soon as they become a hindrance to them, they are simply helping them just because they can, and not because they need to. But a simple experiment won't hurt" said Kro. With a glint of a smile on his face.
Kro looks at Vicar and Vicar nods.
Suddenly a huge number of faithless broke formations and move towards where the servants are housed. Eve and Specter immediately notice it and made a move suddenly over two thousand droids started merging indicating they are about to fire a chaos blast, and it was not pointed at the breaking faithless, but it was pointed upwards.
Eve and Specter knew what the HOC are planning, and they are already expecting it, after all, them rescuing mere servants are indicating some sort of weakness on their part, and so they are already prepared a countermeasure to it.

And sure enough as soon as Kro and the rest of the Cardinals saw it, Kro ordered Vicar to recall the faithless who broke formation.
But these actions surprise him and the rest even more. Looks like he was mistaken about their enemy connections to their servants, looks like those servants are more important to their enemy than they realized. Unfortunately, their weakness is also open to their enemy. Meaning their enemy are willing to play fair as long as they also play fair but as soon as they started playing dirty so is their enemy, and it is not something they can afford.
