Chapter 1775 King Of Bearling -Part 13
"The Bearling Palace is at the southern portion of the capital. And the capital surprisingly isn't at the centre of the Central District instead it is far lower than I expected it to be." Jin said as he checked the map.
"Yes, the Capital is nearer to the Southern District mainly because of the fights that had happened in the north previously that forced the Empire to situate their main city further away from the North, according to the AI Administration." The System reported. "Not to mention, it was also a stronghold against the Southerners as the Palace in the ancient times had been used as a fortress to defend against them."
"So, we if fly downwards, they will be expecting us."
"Yes, and Commander Eggshells stated that because of the challenge, the airspace would be temporarily cleared for us. Otherwise, it would also be a violation of their airspace and they might view it as an attempt to attack them."
"So, the Queen had indeed already started to make her moves even before the broadcast," Jin said and the System nodded its head if it could. "She was not leaving it to chance at all."
"Indeed. The Video Feed and reports from several spy agents from Archduke Dyke had shown that people are attempting to flee as we speak. Train tickets had been bought and every train had been utilised. All lines are busy to get people out and no one is coming in."
"Then we should be glad that we also took the initiative to bring in the Grey Bear Squad into hiding. That is confirmed, right?"
"Yes, the Archduke's agents had already managed to transport them into this particular warehouse over here." The System lit up the warehouse's position and showed Jin its proximity to the Bearling's Palace. "It was a little further than expected due to the short time frame but the agents had managed to get a position where the Fortress Golems were still within firing range of the Palace. The only problem is the response time and they might lose to that compared to the predicted warehouse location we wanted."
"Response time to my attack, I presume."
"Yes, you would need to fight longer in the air for the Fortress Golems to get into position but the safety of your Grey Bear Squads is currently not compromised. They had been hidden rather well and there were a few Archduke's agents who were keeping an eye to make sure no one came to it. Besides, it had been reported that the warehouse over there was supposed to be for wood, paper products and ...fish oil."
"A lumber industrial warehouse accompanied with fish oil companies?" Jin asked and the System was not able to answer.
"The manifest had put the Fortress Golems as Construction Machines considering their size and the proximity of lumber yards since there are more forests and mountains behind the Palace made it believable that they were as such." The System replied.
"Then the War Train? And the Pandarens coming in?"
"The War Train had already been scheduled for maintenance in the depot when it had reached Beraling and because Diamondz Corp had some influence in that particular area, it had been marked as a new prototype in the making prior to the announcement of the challenge. So, as prototypes, they were not allowed to be used for transport and thus not used for the massive outflux of passengers." The System reported as it stated where the depot was with reference to the distance it is to Bearling Palace.
"That's rather far but hmm.. I can see how that there are railroad tracks to the Palace."
"Yes, those tracks would undoubtedly be used to transport certain supplies and equipment for the next coming day so there is no doubt that the War Train that we had hidden in Bearling can be used for a frontal assault against the Palace."
"I assumed that there are Mechanoids in War Train as well?"
"Indeed, Diamondz had provided a batch of Mechanoids that could be controlled when turned on. The System and Denise had been abusing the loophole that these allies are found during the course of the challenge and so the Three Winged Angel is not able to penalise you. As for your Pandarens, the System is afraid that it is out of our control as it goes through multiple districts."
"However, as per the loophole, the Floating Sky Station which had been the main starting point for the Pandarens had been given a new alternative route to Bearling and a Grade requirement had been placed on the side. Any interested Cultivator would know that if there is a Grade requirement, it would mean that there is a fight that would prove to be dangerous. Also, this is not advertised and had been left as a side mission."
"I see, and thus the loophole allies found during the course of the challenge."
"Yes, once they enter the landing pods, IFF codes of the Grey Bear Squad and controlled Mechanoids would be updated into their holographic consoles so that they would not shoot or fight randomly against such people." The System stated and Jin nodded his head in approval to that course of action.
"Then did Archduke Dyke provide the Rocketeer Mechanoids? Did it raise any suspicions?"
"Yes, the Archduke had indeed ordered Mechanoids from Rocketeers Corp and they did not question him at all since he said it was about time they upgraded the old batch of Mechanoids that had been in the Capital. It had the Royal Guards' approval when Archduke did it, saying that it was about time the Archduke had cared for the Capital."
"Hahaha, then what did he say?"
"Not much. He said since he was ordering for Mount Sunn, he might as well order for the capital since there was a pending memo from years ago for it to be done. And since it was already ordered beforehand, the shipment would be hastened for the challenge as well. Archduke Dyke only paid for the deposit and the Queen took matters at hand and paid the rest from her own pocket first."
"That seems like we have it all ready for the next day," Jin said as he looked at the holographic city a while longer to be more familiar with the routes.n--O)/v-(ε./L(/b-)I-)n
