Chapter X:
The road to the East of Orussia, especially to the City of Volgograd, which was the target of attacks and bombardments by the Kanker and which, above all, was the last bastion and line of defense against the advance of the "Shadow Neuroi", hung by a very delicate thread. The Imperial Armed Forces and civilians were fighting relentlessly for the control of the city, but it was getting more complicated with the push that the invaders were making at that time. The latest reports showed that the enemy had taken more than half of the city, forming a series of "Pockets" of troops and armed people that were separated from the others. Their only option was to fight to the last bullet, otherwise they would be shot or, in the worst case, sent as slaves to the mines, factories and laboratories that the Kanker had under their control.
Over the Night Skies of the Eastern Front, under a blanket of Stars that shone as if they were infinite Pearls adorning an Imperial Crown and the Moon that accompanied them with its whitish light, the "Squadron" formed by the "Witches" and the Peach Creek boys were traveling in a resounding silence, there was hardly any chatter. Some of them were checking that they had the necessary ammunition for the weapons, Nazz saw his katana that he had received, from Mio, that it had no nicks and that the edge was as sharp as possible. Double D, on the other hand, was seen close to Eila and Sanya, as well as having some conversation, while Eddy was next to Francesca and Ed was with Erica.
The boy in the black cap felt Sanya pointing downwards and he looked down, finding a devastating scene: As far as the eye could see, countless houses burned to the ground, only the ruins blackened by the fire remained, thin columns of acrid smoke rose by the dim light that was there, perhaps by some candles and generators of the few buildings that managed to survive the enemy bombing and fighting. The buildings such as silos and barns used by the peasants were nothing more than piles of rubble and dust that were extinguished by the firefighters, leaving a damp smell that reached their nostrils.
In another sector, civilians and military personnel could be seen forming a series of "mounds". Others carried tools and with them dismantled the enemy war machines that had been abandoned and destroyed them completely, throwing them into huge bonfires built by the citizens themselves, the fire consuming the remains until not even the ashes were left.
- It's a pity.- Said Double D, being heard by the albino and the silver-haired girl.
- What is it?.- Asked Rolf, who approached him.
- No, nothing, it's...it sounds, rather, like childish nonsense but...I would have liked to study that technology to use it, in the future, against a threat that was much worse than the "Shadow Neuroi"...But, it's not worth it.- He said calmly.
- I understand you: "The enemy of my enemy is my friend".- Said Sanya and the boy nodded his head, closing his eyes.
- Exactly, but it would be hypocritical to use the same technology that has caused so much damage to the civilian population, instead of using it in favor of progress.- He said, dismissing the idea that he found childish.- Now it would be better to concentrate on our mission: Let's expel the Kankers from Europe forever.
- That's the spirit, Edd boy!.- Rolf put his hand on Edd's shoulders and they continued on their way.
In the distance a series of glows ranging from yellow to red could be seen. Minna noticed this and raised a hand in the air, signaling that they were close to the target. Only a few kilometers separated them from the battlefield. Some of them gulped, that break had been worth it for them. They knew very well what it all meant.
- Explosions, we are close," announced Trudie, while she took the safety off her weapon and from there she did the same, "Eyes wide open, don't trust anything. Those bastards could be positioned anywhere," warned the girl seriously.
- Roger that.- Kevin understood and using his strategies as Captain of the local soccer team went to several of his friends.- Listen up, we are going on a "search and destroy" mission of any enemy sources that may be in the area. Double D, Eddy, Ed, Rolf, Jimmy, Nazz and the others, come with me. Fly close and in formation!.
No more was said and they moved a few yards away, setting a course for the first suburban areas around.
They were on the outskirts of the city of Volgograd, the silence was absolute, while to the north, right in the center of the city, the situation was totally different. Between explosions and exchanges of fire, the "Shadow Neuroi" and the defenders were fighting to see who would control the last "Line of Defense" on the Volga River. If it fell, then all would be lost. The fighting would have been in vain, so much bloodshed, death and destruction would be meaningless and the Kanker would take over the highly prized oil fields and industries there, already an obsession for the three sisters.
Crossing the suburbs, amidst ruined houses and buildings, plumes of smoke rising through the differently colored Skies and the distant blasts, the group was venturing into the depths of the darkness that loomed over them. An atrocious silence, almost Mass-like, hung over them.
- How quiet.- Johnny objected and turned his gaze to the distance, where the enemy ships were passing by.
- Yeah, you're right about that, buddy. It's the calm before the storm.- Warned Sarah, who kept her eyes peeled and watched for any movement that might appear in front of them.
A few yards down the road, Kevin, Rolf, Nazz and the Eds were searching the first houses that had been evacuated. In many of these there was a picture of looting, pillaging by armed gangs looking to get their own taste and profit in the face of an emergency situation. There were also traces of bullets and dried blood splattered on the walls.
- Hmmm, you could tell a lot of stupid people wanted to steal the valuables but were caught by the military and ended up paying with their lives. You have to be a son of a bitch to come all the way out here when it's a war.- Argued Eddy, who sighed deeply.
- I agree.- Nazz backed him up.- There are so many lives that were lost here, but this is no time to cry.- She finished and from there he saw Johnny and Sarah arrive, "Any news?
- No, none around here and we've already checked this whole block.- Added the redhead.
- They heard Double D speak with a serious tone.
Unbeknownst to them, a few meters to the west of their position, a mysterious cannon began to emerge from the shadows of a building abandoned by the tenants and was aimed at where they were. Inside were several "Shadow Neuroi" preparing to fire on the target.
One of the gunners was watching them with state-of-the-art binoculars, while his colleagues were loading the cannon. Curious novelty in the world of weapons and to think that the first ones were the bombards, predecessors of the aforementioned and that were used by the Ottomans during the "Fall of Constantinople" of 1453 A.D. to demolish the walls. The Byzantines were in the same situation, who defended themselves with their walls, the "Greek Fire", a "flamethrower" against the enemy ships and with the Infantry, Cavalry and their archers, among others, but due to their carelessness, added to the fatigue due to the prolongation of the siege, they left, unintentionally, the "Gate of San Romano" open through which the enemy Armies entered and thus the last confrontation took place until the defeat of the Byzantines, the death of Emperor Constantine XI Dragases Paleologus and with the ascension of Sultan Mehmed II The Conqueror on the Imperial Throne, although he imposed a policy of tolerance towards those who were not Muslims, allowing them to live without being disturbed and the same with their properties but many opted to leave there and go with the "Imperial Badges" to Eastern Europe, where they passed into the hands of Orussia.
From the terrace of the building, an antenna that was well hidden, sent a series of signals towards the Kanker and the other combat stations that kept the area under surveillance and it was then that, once they had them in their sights, they prepared to charge and shoot against their opponents.
Soon, the Commander of that "Detachment" lowered his mechanical arm and from there it was possible to see how an intense red-violet glow was growing inside the weapon.
Jimmy was checking the horizon, there was no sign or enemy presence that could put them behind the ropes. That was not a good sign, it was the ideal place, perfect, to carry out an ambush. Just when Johnny was the first to leave the apartment building with Plank, he looked to the West and noticed something very strange. Something he had not seen before, so he touched the albino boy's shoulder and pointed to that position.
- What do you think that is?.- Jimmy asked doubtfully, since he could not distinguish it very well.
- I don't know but...wait...- Johnny asked and went whipping his eyes around, trying to make out, to understand what was before them. He was a good distance away but, with horror, his eyes opened wide, so he took Sarah's friend by the shoulders, strongly, as well as he protected Plank and they went down quickly towards the window of the building.
- Johnny, did you see...?.- Asked Kevin but he didn't have time to complete his sentence.
- The "Shadow Neuroi"...!.- He exclaimed but when they were about to go to investigate, a fierce explosion shook the outside.
The interior of the building rocked back and forth, just like a city being hit by a major earthquake, causing some people to cling to the furniture to avoid falling or tripping over the windows. Glass panes that had survived until recently were reduced to mere piles of debris against the floor. From the ceiling a series of cracks were visible and dust was falling on their heads. While outside, an intense column of smoke and fire could be seen coming from another building that was hit by the impact, leaving a huge hole through which tongues of that Element were gushing out.
- That was close...- Muttered Kevin, who wiped his forehead with cold sweat.- Damn, I've never felt anything like that in my life...- Once he finished that action, he stood up and went to look for the perpetrators of that attack, following a line that extended parallel to some unknown point.
- He could not have come very far. They are in this area.- Warned Edd, who was studying the distance and then discovered it, just when a new "glow" of those two colors appeared in the environment.
- Double D...- Ed approached but they witnessed that his words, as well as Kevin's, Johnny's and Jimmy's had come true.
- Get out of here, hurry, let's go, let's go!.- He encouraged them and they managed to escape from the building just as the enemy fired a second round.
It was a miracle that they escaped in time. The impact was accurate and reduced the building in a bright ball of fire that burned non-stop over the skies of Volgograd. The interior seethed non-stop, the explosions caused by the ruptured gas pipes were the ideal "fuel" for the temperatures to rise even higher, while the fire was moving down to the other floors, unleashing new explosions, the debris flying in all directions, falling on the desolate and dark streets, hitting the abandoned vehicles and the buildings that had been saved from being destroyed but that, now, were not as lucky.
Kevin's group and the Eds were safe, observing how the building was burning non-stop, the roof and the main slab fell, product of the collapses and with it the fire was affecting the other floors and damaging the other adjacent buildings.
- Hey, Jimmy.- Eddy spoke to him, putting his hand on his shoulders.- Now you have earned my respect. Thanks for warning us of the danger.- He said, and it was then that the white-haired boy finally felt relieved of the burden he had worked so hard to get rid of.
- It was nothing.- He accepted the praise, "but we still have to take care of that cannon, where...- The young man wanted to know when they noticed that a third shot was coming towards them.
- Again? Evasive action!.- Ordered Kevin and using his tactics as Captain of the American Football Team, they split up, in the shape of a fan, dodging the attacks of that weapon of the "Shadow Neuroi".
The "Witches" who had gone to check the other blocks and blocks of the city noticed what was happening, so they went to their aid. Perrine was the first to arrive, accompanied by Major Sakamoto, Minna, Trudie, Yoshika and Lynne, finding the scene of evasion and shooting towards the place where the enemy was.
- Nazz, Double D, what's going on?!.- Asked the red-haired Commander.
- Jimmy discovered an enemy position: The "Shadow Neuroi" are firing at us with a laser cannon!.- Informed the blonde and when they were about to be hit, she deployed a "Magic Shield".
- We have to get rid of that weapon as soon as possible. The Kankers must be using it to gain time to prevent us from ruining their conquest.- Warned Ed seriously, while he saw Jimmy and Sarah focused and calculating the enemy position. The redhead was taking the distance they were at, avoiding not to draw too much attention from the gunners, so Perrine went up to them.
The girl from Gaul noticed that they both went down to a clear rooftop covered by shadows, where they took position and she took out her "Bren Light Machine Gun Mark 1", aiming while following the indications of Jimmy and Sarah, who prepared their "Magic".
- I have them in my sights.- Said Perrine, who had a pair of binoculars and the albino nodded.- Jimmy.
- Yes, Miss Clostermann.- He asked politely and saw her smile at him.
- I congratulate you: You are making your first decisions as a man should do.- She congratulated him.- Discovering the enemy position, recognizing your mistake when you framed the Eds, among other things, shows that you are leaving aside that fear and insecurity and you are starting to have that path that will take you to the Future.- Showed her respects to him, feeling much better.- Now, let's get this over with. There is a battle to be won.- She ordered.
- Absolutely right," Jimmy joined him.
- That's right, and there's the laser cannon.- Added Sarah, showing the coordinates of the enemy position, and it was then that the "Witch" took aim, looked for the firing site and pulled the trigger.
A wave of shrapnel went through the air and reached the window, where the observer was hit, falling backwards with several bullet impacts. Then a barrage of "Magic" added to the offensive and before they had time to do anything, the "Observation Post", the "Shadow Neuroi" and the laser cannon were hit and destroyed under a brilliant explosion that leveled the floor of the Hotel where they were.
From the rooftop, both Jimmy, Sarah, Perrine with the others were able to notice, witness what had just happened. Once the fire was consumed, they flew to that place to verify if there were enemy traces. Once inside, they found that the interior was completely razed, the walls burned and a pungent smell spread throughout the place, being very acidic for their nostrils. On the floor were the remains of the "Shadow Neuroi" and the cannon that had been completely destroyed by the explosion and subsequent fire.
On the roof of the Hotel they found the communications antenna, which had been reduced to a mere pile of twisted rubble.
Still, they did not let their guard down. Johnny Plank was still outside when they noticed a new "Bright Spot" in the sky, so the boy looked up and saw that it was growing to the maximum.
- Is there something else going on, Johnny?.- Asked Rolf, as he approached Johnny.
- We'd better get ready. This has just been the "Entrance Dish".- Announced the boy and the foreigner saw that it was true what his words said.
With the voice of alarm, they emerged from inside that room of the Hotel and could see that that cannon had been the beginning. A large number of enemy ships, of all sizes, appeared in front of them, initiating a fierce aerial battle; without giving them time to form a good defense.
- Attention, friends, come with me!.- Said Kevin, who was back in command as Team Captain.- Nazz and I will attack the ones in front, Johnny, you and Rolf along with Sarah, Jimmy and the Eds will go for the ones on the flanks. Once we finish with the first ones, they formed a single "Front" against those fuckers!"- He ordered and from there they deployed in a real combative action.
The first three to attack were Double D, Eddy and Ed. The first one launched himself with his sword at the ready, tracing an arc against the first enemy that got in his way. Just as in a "Knight's Joust" of the Middle Ages, the black-capped boy ran up and slashed through a member of the Kanker "Elite Guard." With a great impact, the sword pierced his chest and that produced an overheating of his systems, so he ended up exploding into thousands of tiny fragments that fell like "snow" until they disappeared. A second one stood in his way but the young man reacted, striking a blow against his opponent's stomach and putting an end to it. A third arrived armed with a "Double Bladed Axe" and made of metal. This one came within inches of delivering a lethal attack but Double D turned around and struck him in the left side of the neck, causing circuits and other cybernetic debris to jump out and be lost along with the opponent.
There seemed to be no end to this wave, as they went against the intellectual but he managed to repel them, especially when a fourth one wanted to attack him treacherously, however, Double D rose and from there rested his hands against the metallic chest of his opponent, where an intense "Golden Light" began to emanate. His "Magic" was growing and with it the temperature, so it caused a fierce explosion that reduced that "Shadow Neuroi" into a complete fireball that was directed, in free fall, against the surface, where it impacted along with several ships that fell prey to the attacks of his friends.
For their part, Eddy, Francesca, Ed and Erica did not let any adversary flee the battlefield. The short boy and the black-haired Italian girl were devouring, like a plague of locusts, everything in their path. In one swift movement, the latter traced a series of magical shots that mingled with the shrapnel of the black hair, hitting the target repeatedly. The Sci-Fi fan and the blonde from Karsland were unstoppable. Holding hands, they attacked the enemy ships left and right, which ended up converted into huge fireballs that fell, crashing to the ground, leaving a series of columns of smoke and fire to be consumed.
Nazz was a true "Samurai Warrior" and with the technique that Major Sakamoto had taught her, she tore apart all "Shadow Neuroi" that got in her way. One by one they were falling and giving way to the "Witches" and the Peach Creek boys, so one of them had to alert the Kanker of what was happening at that moment.
From the "Sixth Hive", the three sisters were in the "Operations Room" and watching what could mean their victory or defeat against their enemies. Lee reviewed every report that came in from the different fronts, but none of them were what they expected.
- Damn it!.- May spoke, breaking the silence that was installed there.
- What's going on?. I just read this report: We have lost the South with the Carpathian Mountains. Goodbye to our chances of establishing a base and using that area as a "springboard" for our next offensives.- Marie wanted to know, and she made the news known.
- What?!.- Lee turned around.- So fast?.- She asked and the dark blue haired woman nodded her head.
- This "Awakening" has taken us by surprise. We thought it would take a long time to take place but they are moving with a speed never seen before.- She said and Marie had to admit seriously. She then went to get a soda to quench her thirst.
- No... We are not going to lose. We have half of Volgograd City under our control, our forces are about to cross to the Eastern Bank of the river of the same name and from there the defenses will fall. We can recover those lost areas.
- I hope so, because in this other report I have, Lee, they inform me that we have lost, also, the North Front of Suomus and with it the Capital.- Said May with a tone of regret.
- Don't worry, you will see that we will be victorious.- She said calmly.
- You seem too serene, calm, what's wrong, do you know very well what will happen if we lose?.- May asked, folding her arms and speaking with a cold tone.
The redhead got up from her seat, which had a great view to the outside, and from there she walked towards where they were standing.
- You know. I was recently re-reading the "History of the Ancient World" books that May has and also about the Middle Ages. I have to admit that Ptolemaic Egypt was carried away by their excessive pride that they could defeat the Armies of King Antiochus III The Great of Syria, but they never really appreciated what that Monarch had at his disposal. The "Cataphracts" and the "Scythian Chariots" together with the other Armies were a real headache for the Egyptians during the Battle of Panion. They did not recognize their enemy very well and that led them to pay a terrible price when they underestimated, later, the Seleucids to the Republic of Rome. Then we have the case of the Muslims in the Middle Ages, where they had the Battle of Bard of 624 A.D., where 300 Soldiers of Mohammed defeated the 1000 who were their enemies and from there we have the Battle of the Trench of 627 A.D., where a huge hole was dug around the city and that made it impossible for the Infantry and Cavalry to be able to carry out offensive actions.- She claimed and made those historical references known.
- Lee, that was for different reasons, those were times when they fought with armor, Hoplite armor, sword, shield and spear. This is the 21st century, we use super advanced technology.- Said Marie in response to the doubt she carried with her.
Without saying anything else, the redhead pressed a button and with that a strange object was seen inside.
- Remember how grandfather always said that if anything happened, this would save us?.- She asked them towards what was there.- Well, it will. Now, just stay here and watch.- She asked, and they returned to their work, albeit hesitantly.
Returning to the battlefield, it began to show a fierce retreat by the "Shadow Neuroi" from their positions, plus the Peach Creek boys and the "Witches" managed to free the "Pockets" of military and civilians separated by the enemy, leading to the launching of an extremely violent counter-offensive against the East side of the Volga River to drive them out of there.
From the Western Bank, Sanya and Eila could behold what they had so longed to see: the fall of the Kanker henchmen at their mercy. The ferocious attack they were carrying out was devastating, however, the "Sixth Hive" was an extremely huge problem, as it kept sending its lackeys against the advancing Armies, under a fierce tactic of aggressive defense. It was then that the albino took aim at the target and knew what they had to do about it.
- Listen: We will attack the "Sixth Hive" in formation, only this way we can win this battle and liberate Orussia and Suomus from the Kanker's clutches.- Minna announced to all of them. But be careful, that "fortress" is still launching minions in waves, so destroy as many as you can, so we can open a path and get into it, so we can destroy the "Core" and from there we will go after those damned ones", she announced her plan and with a deep nod, they launched the attack.
The "Sixth Hive" launched a powerful "roar" that tore the air like a blade, from its interior, which seemed to be a kind of endless "factory", innumerable enemies came out, from ships to ground hosts, which attacked mercilessly against all those who wanted to destroy the Kanker's plans, but even so, the Kanker did not see that the "Witches" and the Peach Creek boys had gone inside, taking advantage of the distraction and where they eliminated those who were standing guard, giving them a free hand.
The corridors led to different sectors of that "fortress" but the two main ones were towards the "Command Bridge", where the Kanker and the "Core" were located, the main energy source that they had to sabotage in order to destroy it. Once they had secured the first paths to the site, they divided the plan into two parts.
- This is what we will do.- Said Minna to those present.- One group will go with me to go after the Kanker and the other will go with Trudie with the mission of destroying the "Core". Once we have finished with both parts, we will get out of here before it explodes.- She gave those instructions and after nodding, they went to carry them out.
Trudie's group was formed by Eddy, Francesca, Ed, Erica, Rolf, Johnny, Yoshika, Lynne and Charlotte, who were advancing, in the middle of confrontations and shootings against the enemies that guarded the other positions, without knowing that they were being observed by the Kankers from the "Command Bridge". The boy of short stature attacked a group of opponents that were in his way, launching a series of magical shots that ended their presence and once they managed to arrive to their final destination, a voice, coming from the Public Address System began to resonate in the surroundings.
- I have to admit it: they have been a real pest for us but, even so, they are very brave to come here, fight against our forces and infiltrate to destroy the "Sixth Hive". Don't they understand? Sooner or later, everything will end for you, this war is not over yet, on the contrary, the "funniest" part of all this has just begun".- Lee spoke from the "Command Post".
- You call "fun" the fact that they razed countless cities to the ground, killing thousands of innocent people? Ha! Don't make me laugh, Lee. The only thing you're going to get is jail, the "Death Penalty" or an insane asylum, but an isolated one in the middle of the ocean.- Said Eddy, who was looking at the cameras with his girlfriend, while the red-haired girl smiled sinisterly.
- Eddy is right: He has changed and is not the same person as before, now he thinks of others and above all he has given an absolute truth for his crimes against Humanity. Sooner or later they will have to surrender and from there they will be before Justice.- Francesca maintained seriously.
- "I would like to see that. But, in view of the circumstances, I fear that this meeting has its limited time. Do you think we can go down. We are the Kankers, we have brave blood in our veins, not like you, who destroyed our grandfather's dream".- Marie told her, being heard by the group led by Minna.
- To rule the World, to enslave people who are not like you?. This has been seen in many places in history. Supposed "Leaders" who talk about giving power back to the people, letting them choose their representatives, but it ended up being a lie: They enthroned themselves, taking over what did not belong to them and ruled as they wished. You are the same example of today's dictators, but sooner or later, "every pig gets its own Saint Martin".- Warned Double D to those present, who laughed.
- They can enjoy their moment, but time is running out. Whether they want to or not, we will catch them and they will go, even in shackles, to the Courts and they will receive all the hatred they have harvested.- Swore Sanya, who was determined and from there the door leading to the "Core Room" was heard to fall.
- You lived all your time making our lives impossible, always chasing us when we wanted nothing to do with you. We never wanted to have a relationship, but you always harassed us, destroyed what we did, even hypnotized us to have us as your "dogs". I'm nobody's animal! Erica is a real girlfriend, someone who shares her time and our tastes with me, not like you, who only saw us as objects.- Ed joined in, taking the blonde Germana's hand, who blushed. We are not your slaves, nor are we machines! Here there are men and women who want to live in freedom, in peace, not as servants of you!
Back in the "Core Room", the group found that the site did not have much resistance, the few "Shadow Neuroi" that were there barely defended themselves, so that "Squad" began with the tasks of sabotage and destruction of the same.
Meanwhile, the other group was attacking the doors of the "Command Bridge". The exterior was defended by a select group of the "Elite Guard", which offered a tenacious resistance and after being defeated. Both groups gathered to assault the last sector of the "Sixth Hive" and it happened, as the doors gave way with a fierce crash and they entered.
- Hands up, Kankers!.- Ordered Trudie, who carried her weapon along with the others but, as they entered, they were in for a surprise.
- We surrender. It's all over.- Said Lee, who had her hands in the air, offering her surrender.
The Lieutenant was about to advance but Eila and Sanya stopped her, something was not right. Yoshika was aiming at the three sisters together with Lynne. Both friends, in the company of Perrine, Charlotte and Mio had no confidence in what those girls were doing. They were giving up, but it all seemed so...easy.
- Lee, Marie and May Kanker, you are hereby arrested for numerous crimes against humanity, starting with declaration of war, invasion, forced population displacement, genocide, ethnic cleansing and mass murder along with human rights violations against surrendered civilians and military and also slavery.- Commander Minna read them those charges and got ready to handcuff them, so she went to where they were standing.
- Wait.- Eddy stopped the redhead's step.- There is something strange about all this.- He said and turned to the Kankers.- What are you two up to?
None of them said anything about it, just a mysterious smile that led the boy to take a run and from there he ran to where they were, running through them, to the surprise of everyone present.
- It's a hologram!.- Exclaimed Francesca, clenching her fists, and then a tape began to play.
- "I see you have made it this far, defeating our forces and once again making fools of us. A part of us hates you, wants to see you suffer but that opportunity will come, for now you better enjoy it, because now you only have one last "Hive" left but we warn you, on behalf of the three of us, that it will not be an easy task. If you want to bring us to justice, then do it. We will be waiting for you in Liberion".- Said the recording, which ended and the hologram disappeared.
And just at that moment, the limousine was taking the Kankers away from there, while their forces joined them, fleeing en masse from Suomus, Orussia and Europe towards their last bastion, besides Lee was holding a strange artifact with him.
- They have escaped again.- Charlotte said seriously, "But this will be the last time. They are desperate, they know they are going to lose and that is why they have fled," said the red-haired Liberion, as she approached them. She gave a sigh, sensing that they were now facing something that was being forged throughout that entire journey.- Well, we are already at the "last level".- She maintained.
- Yes: Liberion.- Said Eddy.- The place where it all began.- He pointed out.
- It won't be easy, that message has something hidden in it and that's why we shouldn't let ourselves get carried away by the "easy" and even more so with this mysterious empty compartment.- Added Ed, seeing that something was missing inside it.
- Be that as it may, friends, we will defeat them. No matter what happens, together we will put an end to the Kankers. They will be the ones to enjoy their last hours of success, because now they are fleeing like rats when the ship is sinking, hiding in Liberion to gain time. But they will see: We are ready to give them battle once again.- Minna maintained, giving that support to those present and from there they left, not without first provoking the destruction of that fortress.
The "Sixth Hive" ended up exploding into innumerable fragments that were thrown everywhere. Among the smoke and the fires that were among the debris, the Imperial Armies of Orussia together with those of Suomus and the civilians celebrated to the fullest.
All this was observed by the "Witches" and the Peach Creek boys, while they focused their gazes towards the West, more of Europe, crossing the Atlantic Ocean, was the last bastion of the enemy: Liberion and with it, the Future of the World.
A last battle that would define the course of the war for the opposing sides. A last confrontation and with it, the longed "prize": The freedom of the Humanity and its desires for the peace.
End of "Arc VI: The Awakening of Suomus and Orussia".
[It took its time but, finally, I have reached the last remaining "Arc". The beginning of the end of this adventure and of the unleashed war but beware, the Kanker do not intend to surrender so easily.
What will the last battles be like, what kind of future will the human race have in store for it? We will see that in the last "Arc" of this fic. I hope you enjoyed this one and with that I send greetings and thanks to all of you, especially to Matfix and Franco M. Romano.
Take care, friends and have an excellent start of Thursday from me.
Until next time, Comrades.
Coming soon: "Arc VII: The Final Battle for Liberion".
