Chapter 511 The MIT Campus Losses

If she acted harsh with them, then it would be great. I needed someone to strictly rule over this bunch of chaotic teams I got.

“What took you so long? Didn’t you miss me?” Once she came on board, she said these words in such a seductive way.

“I knew something was wrong when you didn’t message me,” I rolled my eyes before adding, “and you didn’t send anything at all, like you totally forgot about me.”

“Liar,” she punched me in the chest before adding, “I sent you tons of messages, but you never answered!”

“I got nothing,” I shrugged, raising my hands in surrender, “I believe there is a seal over this place, preventing anyone from getting in touch with each other.”

“I know,” she sighed, “we couldn’t even connect to each other during this fight. So I had to let that spearhead move around with his forces to relay orders and help others in the fight.”

“How big?” I paused while looking around. The size of the forces here was really smaller than ever.

I knew the big army of humans returned here before I went to fight that monster. So they must have arrived. And seeing such a small amount here made me feel more bitter.

“We… Lost a lot,” she was smart to get what I meant, and she said it in such a powerless way.

“I see,” I could only accept such a result. After all this attack came out of the blue, and it was good we had little forces behind.

“Also… they targeted MIT campus…” she said this, and I instantly turned to glare at her.

“What?!!” my eyes shone in such a dangerous light that made her retreat a couple of steps backwards. “And the campus?” I demanded for more info, and she could only answer with trembling lips.

“Something… Change in you…” she could only stutter while saying that. I motioned for her to continue, while trying to control my rage.

“They came first attacking the entire place. So I first distributed the forces around, taking advantage of the emblems and the defences we built so far,” she started to explain in detail what happened, and I kept nodding.

“But we were shocked to see them pass through the shield for the first time. Thanks to that, we were overwhelmed and nothing worked except those emblems and castles.”

“And?”

“I had to scatter my forces around and focus them over these places. Once we did that, I noticed a change in the movements of these enemies. They started to move a large group towards the direction of the MIT campus by the river.”

“And?”

She paused for a long moment, and I had to speak and ask her to add more.

“Once I noticed that, I moved the spearhead back to the campus. He managed to defend it, and luckily there was a group of emblems and castles nearby to help as well.”

“What about the losses?” I knew she wouldn’t bring the matter to that campus without a reason. If they managed to defend it, then why would she tell me about it?

“Well… We didn’t have time to…”

“Just tell me what you know!” I felt like she was hesitating and delaying telling me such grave news.

Without controlling myself, I shouted and made her body tremble faintly. “Sorry,” I gently held her body and grabbed her for a deep hug. “I’m just… Nervous and mad about such news.”

“I… It’s just you emit a weird and dangerous vibe,” I could feel her body shaking. Was I getting so fiercer? What changed?

Well… I got many things to consider actually, and I wasn’t in the mood to think about any of it. I just wanted to know how big the losses here were, to just adjust myself to what would happen next.

I came here, selected this as my capital to surround and defend my MIT campus. Damn! I thought that the bastard’s goal was to hit my forces and annihilate my capital.

But in fact he was targeting such a crown jewel and cornerstone of my entire plan. But how? How did he know about this?

I looked around, my team was the trustworthy dudes who knew about my plan.

Or was it one of the youths working on this project? Or what?

Damn this! This dude was getting much harder to deal with and even understand! But this time… The hit was really painful.

“Tell me… How much did we lose?” I couldn’t ignore knowing the answer to this question.

“Almost more than half…” she paused, but I hugged her tighter to not stir up her fears again.

“Is that a final assessment?” I asked, and she shook her head slowly within my arms.

“Sigh! Ok, send those from that campus to see and assess the situation,” I paused for a second before adding, “let them try and repair whatever they could. Hopefully we didn’t lose important stuff here.”

“Ok,” she moved a little away before pausing, “damn! This blocking thing is really annoying!”

I got what she meant. I totally forgot there was a total blackout here.

“Ok, go and tell them in person,” I said, “this mission is really important, you know it, right?”

“I… Know,” she nodded before moving downstairs. I watched her return to the destroyed capital, before turning and decided to take a tour around to assess damage.

My capital… This hit taught me such a valuable lesson of not letting it undefended properly. Even with hundreds and even millions of forces, the capital didn’t feel safe.

What would make it safe? Aside from me getting stationed here, I had to find another solution.

Even the mighty shield I depended upon was breached as if it was made of soap bubbles.

That was an alarm, a warning call for me to wake up. I was mighty, but that only applied to me and not the rest of my forces.

I got to work harder on my forces, not just myself!
