BXBX NOVEL Chapter 235 Move
Chapter 235 Move
Chubby had been close to the weakest amongst them back when they were at the Raven camp, so Atticus had fixed him with another Ravenstein youth who was stronger than him.
He had also done this with the others too making sure that the strength of each of the 8 units was more or less balanced.
What Atticus had planned for Aurora and Nate was exactly what he had termed it, backup. Those two were basically his trump cards in case anything goes wrong.
Atticus had no idea what his opponents were capable of, and he had no intention of underestimating anyone.
He was going to plan for every scenario he could think of and keep his guard up at all times.
Through out this battle, despite him not being able to actively participate, he wanted to make sure that no one out of his division members \'died\'.
It wasn\'t that he cared about them, Atticus just didn\'t want to lose any one of his points.
He would unfortunately not be able to predict the location trouble might pop up in. Each of the groups would be heading to 8 different terminals located at 8 different parts of the forest simultaneously.
This was exactly why he had made sure each one of their strength was more or less the same. So in case of anything, any one of the groups would be able to hold on for backup.
Atticus\'s plan was to place Aurora and Nate at different parts of the forest, a place where each of them won\'t be so far away from the units.
Although each of the terminals were situated in different locations, they were located in such a way that there were 4 each on the west and east sides of the forest.
He put Aurora in the west and Nate in the east.
He had chosen these two because of one reason, they had the most capabilities to cause destruction and flip the scale of the battlefield as a whole.
Seeing as they all understood all the instructions he was giving so far, Atticus continued explaining all the strategies he had come up with, making sure to give precise and at the same time detailed instructions while taking into account everything that might happen.
Even though he had no idea who his opponent was, Atticus in under a minute came up with numerous strategies that he/she might employ.
Any one that could actually tip the scale of the battle was more focused on.
But unlike what one would expect, Atticus didn\'t come up with different contingencies for every single one of these scenarios.
All of these were covered completely by his backup, Aurora and Nate. They alone were enough.
Atticus added a few more things, also answering a few questions and when he saw that they all understood their roles well enough,
"Good, let\'s get moving," he commanded. And each of them left the control room to start organizing and fulfilling their respective duties.
And in just under 7 minutes, Atticus stood with Aurora and Nate beside him, behind the newly formed units, each of them grouped accordingly and standing straight while facing the gate.
Each of the 8 units consisted of armored youths, dealers, rangers, and scouts.
They all basically had everything a unit would need.
Defenders to defend, archers for long distance attacks, scouts for scouting ahead, and dealers for dealing the damage and killing enemies.
All of them complemented each other.
In each of their fronts were the respective leaders of each unit Atticus had selected.
They all stood in front of the South Gate all of them facing the gate, waiting for the count down to end.
And they didn\'t have to wait long.
As soon as the count down hit zero, the blinding blue light shooting from the terminal to the skies abruptly stopped.
And immediately the shield encompassing the whole camp began to fade starting from the sky until the dome shaped shield covering the camp was completely gone.
As soon as the shield disappeared, an AI voice suddenly resounded across the whole camp,
[The battle has started]
"Move," Atticus\'s command rang out, swift and authoritative.
In response, each group fell into motion, a synchronized procession that echoed with purpose.
The massive gate groaned as it creaked open before them.
As the gates swung wide, the divisions spilled out of the camp, marching forward with a determined cadence.
Descending down the hill as one cohesive force, their collective energy surged toward the awaiting forest.
At the forefront of each unit, the Ravenstein youths led the way.
Aurora and Nate both turned their gazes towards Atticus looking at him with a serious look,
"Leave it to us," Nate suddenly declared in a confident tone, his fist thumping his chest.
Aurora also locked eyes with Atticus, "We\'ll be back soon," she added with a smile.
Atticus smiled back in response, giving them both a nod, "I\'ll leave it to you," he said.
Then they both turned and started running down the hill, heading towards the forest, leaving only Atticus alone at the south entrance.
One could only wonder why, despite the fact that all of them knew well that amongst the winning conditions for this battle, capturing the opposing camp was there.
But even knowing this, none of them at any point in time had expressed any concern or intention to remain behind and protect the camp grounds with Atticus.
The reason wasn\'t hard to guess.
It was because they all knew, they all knew too well that anyone stupid enough to attack the camp where that monster was guarding was only searching for a brutal beating.
Seeing as they had all left the area, Atticus turned and started heading back towards the control room.
