Earth's Greatest Magus

Nexus Planet, First Colony

At the moment, the biggest colony and the sturdiest base the Nexus faction had was swarmed by a few million people who completely surrounded its periphery. Commotion was naturally inevitable when such a large crowd of people gathered in the same place, especially considering the situation they were in.

"Let us in!! Help us!!"

Thanks to the sight of several ships flying in the sky back and forth from the colony, most of the locals, if not all, present were aware of the ongoing evacuation. Coupled with the news of the impending orc horde stampede, the situation quickly spiraled downwards as people started stepping on each other to climb over the metal gate.

"Please don't leave us!"

"Take my kids! Please I only ask you to just take her!"

With the increasingly chaotic masses, the Nexus soldiers on duty raised their weapons and fired warning shots into the air. In an instant, most of the chaos disappeared as silence descended on the area.

The situation even forced the person in charge of this colony, General Kobe, to take action personally. Escorted by his guards, the man went on the wall and spoke in front of the terrified crowd.

"Listen carefully everyone!! There's nothing to be worried about! We are currently busy transporting workers for various jobs on the space station; we will certainly be back later for more of you! So there's no need to panic!"

He then swept his gaze over the crowd before turning around. When he walked down from the gate wall, General Kobe saw a young woman dressed in a gray uniform was already waiting for him with a half smile on her beautiful face.

"I don't think those people will buy that measy excuse. You need to lie better than that, General."

"You!? How did you get in here?!"

The woman was none other than Klea. With the arrest warrant ordered from the Principal, she and the other envoys should be arrested on the spot, the General however didn't dare to give out the order, especially when he now only had a few hundred soldiers remaining.

Naturally, Klea knew about that fact, hence the source of her confidence.

"I should be the least of your concern right now, General," she said with a sweet smile.

"W-What.. what do you want?!"

Klea still had her smile as she said, "I just need to inform you that when you are leaving, this colony will fall under my command. So it would be better if you handed out everything to my associate here."

Looking at where she was gesturing, Kobe saw a familiar figure standing next to her. Shane Quartermain. Due to his current weakened condition, the former marshal was assigned by Klea to help her with the gathering of important supplies for the upcoming battle.

The general was irritated by the domineering tone Klea used, but again he didn't dare to say anything since he knew the female envoy's capability to control minds. Simply put, he would rather not be one of her puppets.

Immediately, Kobe ordered one of his soldiers to give all access in the colony to the old marshal. Klea nodded her head when she saw the sign from Quartermain that the access transfer had been completed.

"Good. Thank you, General," She said, smiling at the man. Seeing the modest response from the latter's face, she said something she seemed to have forgotten. "Oh just one more thing. I need a few minutes to say a few words."

There were a total of five transport ships that would send the last batch of five thousand people.

Standing in front of most of the group of thousands, Klea swept her gaze for a moment before informing them of the current situation.

Seeing the reaction among the crowd, Klea quickly and finally revealed what her true purpose was. "Now, you have a crucial decision to make! For those who wish to stay and help, go and stand behind me!"

Among the five thousand people, however, only around three hundred were willing to stay.

"That's unfortunate," was the only response Klea had before she turned back towards the general and said, "I'll also take one of the ships, you don't mind don't you? You still have four usable ones; that should be enough right? "

General Kobe seemed to be getting angry at the extremely impudent request, but before he could say anything, Klea added her words with a sweet yet strangely ominous smile on her face.

"I suggest you… better go now."

Klea's words, coupled with her body gestures and expression, made the general inwardly feel panic. Especially when he noticed that there was a commotion going on at the front gate, which a soldier quickly reported.

Moments after, due to the overwhelming fear they experienced, the masses of people outside managed to break down the wall while all the soldiers on duty had already run for their lives. The sight of the coming masses quickly terrified the general as he ordered.

"Hurry! All get inside the ship! Go!! We are leaving immediately!!!"

As the General and his soldiers quickly run into the transport ships, Klea and the 300 who are willing to stay, move away from the field, the target of the masses' rage.

Some of the soldiers, the one guarding the gates and tower, were too late and got assaulted by the angry mobs to the death.

Shots were fired and there were also gas canisters thrown that managed to paralyzed and weaken the masses.

Swiftly the ships started to leave one by one, with one was too late, rushed and stopped by the angry mobs, becoming the venting object of the masses.

Ironically it was the ship where the General was at. The situation became out of control, as more Nexus soldiers were beaten to death forcing Klea to step in and use her ability to calm the situation.

[Enchantment]

"People.. Stop what you are doing… I know you are afraid and angry, but this is not the way! save your strength for what is coming!!"

Allowing the last Nexus ships to leave with the half dead general, soon after, Klea managed to persuade millions of able-bodied men to prepare for the incoming battle.

She then gives the command of the colony to the old marshall.

Shane would spend the next few hours managing the people preparing for the coming threat. Preparing the defense, and rearming the people with weapons left behind on the colony.

Klea then chooses a thousand best fighters among the masses and takes the last transport ship toward the frontline.
