God of Tricksters

Just like Agata, the government was also watching the entire battle directly. They had planted a lot of cameras to check the situation going on.

As expected, due to the urgency and uncertainty, the government was evacuated. Whether it was bravery or his responsibility, the president actually stayed inside the base. He ordered his people to evacuate the acting vice president, who replaced the traitor, and the entire cabinet for a working government in case something happened. Obviously, since the base was not safe anymore, they were sent to the union or United Asia.

Not many people actually knew about their current location.

The president, along with a few staff that chose or allowed to remain in the base, gathered in one room, observing multiple screens to watch over the current battle.

The military, the police and everyone in charge of the security of the base had been connected to it as well, doing the same thing. They all cooperated with Theo in order to win this battle.

While the president was watching the biggest screen that showed Theo’s battlefield, the Skyphone in the room rang.

One of the staff picked it up to ask about the matter, but he soon shouted to inform the rest of the people inside the room. “Not good. There are approximately a hundred thousand monsters coming from the east and southeast. They are moving toward the border.”

“!!!” The president and the rest of the people turned around to confirm the authenticity of the information.

But before they could do so, another Skyphone rang, bringing another piece of news.

“There are approximately two hundred thousand monsters coming from the south. We believe the monsters that have been hiding after the previous war have brought the monsters from Mexico. They are aiming at the base right now.”

“We have spotted more than a hundred thousand monsters coming from the west and southwest.”

“!!!” Most people were startled and panicked, not knowing what to do. On the other hand, the president remained calm and asked, “How is our defense on the border?”

“We have stationed enough people to last for a few hours for this kind of number. We should be able to defend the border if we give some air support to those areas.”

The people thought it would be good to send them right away. However, the president still remembered the negotiation he had with Theo.

He thought for a moment and said, “No. The air support shall be sent to the north’s battlefield. Not a single of them shall go to other battlefields.”

His people were confused, but the president knew that Theo had been precise in his plan and prediction. So, he chose to believe in his judgment instead of his people. Although they were enemies, it didn’t change the fact that the president held the highest authority and Theo was the most reliable man in the world. They knew they had to rely on each other to win this war.𝚘𝐯𝓵xt.𝐜𝑶𝕞

Since the president had given the order, no one could raise an objection.

At the same time, the president called the number Theo gave to him back then if he wanted to contact him.

When he called the number, the one who picked it up was none other than the commander in Theo’s headquarters, Agata.

“Yes? Who is this?”

“This voice… Agata Mota…”

“Mr. President…”

Both of them recognized each other’s voice as they knew what this meant. The president didn’t hesitate to say, “There are around four hundred thousand monsters coming from all around the base.”

“We have received a similar report, Mr. President.”

“We will be sending everything we have to the north battlefield, so I wonder if you have any plan regarding the rest of the battlefields?”

“The troops stationed there should be enough to last for a few hours. We would like them to keep the monsters outside the base.”

“It seems that we should change to attrition warfare if we want to make this as long as possible.” The president thought for a moment. “But we might have a hard time without any support.”

“We have sent our Relief Squad. Although they are small, they are full of elites. So you don’t have to worry. We shall hunt down all the strong monsters and leave the rest to you. That should be enough, right?”

The president frowned. Although he didn’t know how good this relief squad was, the fact that Agata and Theo relied on them to relieve three directions meant the relief squad should be quite reliable.

“Alright.”

The president hung up and looked at his staff. “Tell them to maintain their position and stop them as long as possible. If it’s another human, the attrition warfare might last for days or even months with the number we have. But our opponents are monsters, they’re going to move forward without thinking much about their lives. So, tell them to maintain their current situation until the reinforcement arrives.”

The staff nodded and immediately relayed his words. They were still doubtful, but they could only obey him.

Meanwhile, Agata had contacted the relief squad.

There were three people leading the relief squad. They were the three Transcendent Level Experts that Theo saved during his trip.

“We have received an order. We’ll kill as many monsters as possible and absorb a bit of their army to move to the next location.”

“To think we would be fighting like this… Is our choice to go here a mistake?”

“It’s not a mistake. You should have seen how many World Class Monsters are attacking this base from the screens. They will destroy everything in their way, especially that slime.

“If the world is going to be destroyed if we lose the war, there’s no need to hesitate to participate in this war that involves humanity’s survival. I’m not a patriotic guy, but I don’t like being ruled by monsters more, so yeah…”

“I guess we have to go out and show the world that we are still here… Being a hero doesn’t suit me, but I don’t mind becoming famous.”

“Well, I’m simply following Theodore Griffith. That’s the only person who can invoke such emotion from me.”

The three Transcendent Level Experts smiled. They immediately rose from their seats and walked out of the room. Despite their argument, all three of them were ready to fight.
