God of Tricksters

"Emergency."

"The mutated monsters are coming our way."

"They're moving at a fast speed and they are killing all monsters in their way."

In the control room, Flora gritted her teeth, glaring at the screen. "What's the situation right now? How fast is their speed?"

"The mutated monsters are picking up their pace and they will be reaching Czechia in 27 hours. Their number is expected to be fifty thousand."

"Fifty thousand?" Leonardo's expression darkened because he didn't even expect this kind of number. "Each monster even has the ability to fight multiple monsters of the same level. No, by rough calculation around, there should be at least three hundred Mythical Rank Monsters alone.

"That number is not something that we're prepared to take. This is not good." Leonardo bit his lips, racking his brain to find a brilliant idea. But no matter how hard he thought, the casualties would be enormous.

"Leonardo!" Flora glared at him, asking for the plan.

However, Leonardo shook his head. "I can't think of anything. Even repelling them might kill at least fifty thousand of our soldiers and more than four hundred thousand soldiers will be injured."

Flora narrowed her eyes and asked, "What if we send our Transcendent Level Experts?"

"No. All of you have to conserve your stamina because the enemies might have another King Class Monster. Even if they don't have one, the mutated Mythical Rank Monsters will still be troubling." Leonardo took a deep breath before moving to a table to see the map.

"Griffith Family! You and I can't live together anymore. I'll make sure to eradicate your entire family after this." Flora slammed the table and shouted, "Gather all personnel to come up with a countermeasure.

"All soldiers are to move to the border. No matter what, we have to stop them at the border. Send the message to every single person living in the union, if they still can fight, come to the front line or else, their home will be destroyed."

The one who was about to take her command found a weird situation. "If we tell them about our situation, won't it cause huge unrest among the people? There will be chaos everywhere."

Flora bit her lips. She also understood that. If the public was chaotic, there would be a huge rampage in all cities. They would begin hoarding the stores and do everything they wanted, thinking they would die after this.

Flora thought for a moment and asked, "How many soldiers do we have? And how about the loose experts?"

"We have a total of five hundred thousand soldiers scattered all across the union. As for the experts unrelated to the military, we have more than one million."

She thought for a moment and said, "All members of the unions, as well as influences, are to send their forces to Czechia immediately. The police in all areas will increase their security and stop any unrest even if you hate to use force. Leave fifty thousand soldiers to all borders and send the rest to Czechia. If they don't send anyone, I'm going to personally visit them and destroy them."

"Understood. But what should we do with the public?"

"I'll be talking to the public to inspire them." Flora's expression became extremely cold, knowing that this was the hardest.

"Understood."

The team worked fast because they didn't have too much time left.

Leonardo immediately formed a team to come up with a plan. This might be the biggest military operation they have done so far.

As expected, it wasn't that long for the news to spread.

It caused great unrest among the people. Luckily, they managed to get this information as quickly as possible due to Theo's interference.

"Is the Griffith Family truly the cause of the apocalypse?"

"They used the real Theodore Griffith to cause the apocalypse and drive out the good clone of Theodore Griffith?"

"Why did the clone have to be the good one?"

"Why does a good person have to die?"

"Now the Griffith Family is targeting the entire union by baiting the mutated monsters."

There were many people who held a huge demonstration because of this situation. However, the police stopped them and even used force because they had to if they didn't want the union to collapse.

Obviously, Flora had to make a press conference immediately to explain everything.

While walking in the hallway, Flora said, "Thanks to you, we can learn about their movement and have some time to react."

The one next to her was none other than Leonardo. He shook his head and thought for a moment. "It's nothing."

He was contemplating whether to take the credit or not. After all, if he didn't take the credit, Theo would be exposed. In the end, he didn't snitch on Theo for the time being and simply claimed the credit and explained it later when Theo arrived.

"At the very least, we have to act right now," Flora said as she passed through the door, entering the stage for the press conference.

Because they didn't have much time to move the troops around, Flora immediately cut to the chase.

"I'm sure that everyone knows about the movement of the mutated monsters. That's why I won't beat around the bushes and tell you everything you need to know.

"The number of monsters is roughly fifty thousand. This doesn't look much compared to our numbers, but each monster is equal to a few monsters of the same level.

"As much as I want to say that the military can handle all this and all of you just have to stay at home and wait for the good news. I can't."

"The military has been severely weakened due to the apocalypse. So, we're lacking people to fight at the border to protect this union! To put it simply, if we don't fight, we'll die.

"Take a look to your left, who is the one beside you? Take a look at your right, who is the one staying with you? Take a look above you, the roof that has been sheltering you… All of them will perish if we don't stand together now.

"Please forget about the grievance between us just for this moment. Tomorrow, we're going to fight for the lives of humanity. We shall stand as one and united.

"And I, Flora Wegener, promise you that I'll be at the very front, leading the entire army. Please, all organizations, companies, influences… All experts with no affiliation… Let's forget about our differences and stand together as one. I beg you to fight with me." Flora lowered her head to ninety degrees.
