His voice reverberated through the entire city. And what followed his speech was complete silence; in the street where he was, the individual there stood with mixed expressions on their faces. But none of them spoke for a long time.Fell couldn"t help but think that most of those individuals would flee in fear, and that wouldn"t be shocking, especially when he didn"t leave out any information about the danger of the incoming attack. If he was in their feet and didn"t possess any power to shift the balance, he might also have left the city in a hurry.
The first one the react was the Police a.s.sault team led by Walter. The middle-aged man coughed, and with an awry smile under his helmet, exclaimed with a loud voice. "Not like this isn"t already our job, but we"re in. I can promise that every single MechSuit available in this city will be ready to battle."
Fell nodded with a smile, even if he had already expected that Walter wouldn"t be the kind of man to cower in fear of death.
A voice resounded from the sky. "Hahaha, Young Hero. I"ve heard your call, and I can only say that my old bones are excited to fight at your side.", the old general made his appearance from the sky. His golden and white, colored MechSuit landed with a loud thud on the floor. Ever since his fight with Fell, he had been living quietly in his courtyard; and had retired from the familial matter of his clan.
The moment he heard Fell"s voice. A shiver traversed his body, and he donned his MechSuit in an instant before leaving in a hurried flight.
"Count us in, Young Master!", many n.o.bles that were in the macabre ballroom took a step in.
"Our lives are owed to you!"
"If you dare risk your lives, then we only ought to follow!"
"Through mountains of fire and seas of steels!", a booming voice c.u.mulated from the many n.o.bles washed the street. It wasn"t only the cultivator from the n.o.ble families that had spoken, but nearly every single member. Even the teens had grim expressions on their faces, and the pressure they radiated showed that they didn"t fear death for this n.o.ble cause.
A broad smile took place on Fell"s face. And he couldn"t help but feel bolstered by their bravado; his determination peaked even more, and he couldn"t help but think that if with the city united, then saving it could be an actual possibility.
"Count us in!", voices boomed from many places in the city. And like a sporadic wave that was shared from one individual to another.
Voices bloomed, from everywhere in the central district; Every single one of them showed a determination to bet their lives without any reservation.
Walter couldn"t help but be surprised at the course of the event. And the image of Fell in his heart rose higher, and from the sympathetic young cultivator that came to the central district. He now saw Fell as a capable man, someone who could ignite the thrust and pa.s.sion in every citizen.
Even those well known for their absurd selfishness followed the wave and declared that their intent to fight to the bitter end — especially those families under the leading n.o.bles who were the first ones to join Fell"s declaration.
Fell looked at the many individuals in front of him. And couldn"t help but feel enormous pressure when looking at each one of them; he couldn"t help but feel an immense pressure lay on top of his shoulders, one akin to the weight of hundreds of mountains. His heartbeat grew in an explosive pace, and the young cultivator had to regulate his breath to gather his composure.
"How are the defenses of our city?", asked Fell while looking at the many cops in front of him. The unfortunate individual couldn"t help but feel a chill run down their spines, and they looked at each other while pondering on an answer.
"If the situation is as you said. I can a.s.sure the young hero that the walls of our city will stand tall for a few hours.", a voice appeared from the middle of the group of police officers. Steps resounded, and a middle aged man walked from within the group. Fell couldn"t help but feel that he had seen the man before; His memory reversed, and he remembered that he had seen the man when he had followed Walter in the Police Department.
The middle aged man had been following the youth from the Golden family, just before their MechSuit"s fight. The middle aged man, with a mask of seriousness placarded on his face added. "Yet, I"m afraid if a few hours can save us from this predicament."
"Walter, what about the droids in the factory?", he asked while turning around the a.s.sault team leader. "Are they usable?", he added.
"They are.", he nodded before pausing. "But I don"t think we have the time to prepare their transportation.".
A voice jumped from the group of n.o.bles. "They can be activated from a long distance. We need to order them to come here. With their speed, they"ll be here in two hours at most.", the man swiftly turned around and ordered a few individuals around him for the operation to begin.
"Let us prepare our defenses!", said Fell with a determined tone. A wave of adrenaline rushed through everyone, and they collectively began looking for ways to defend their cities.
And before long, the street was emptied in a few minutes. With each individual, rushing to augment their chances of survival.
If their collective actions could augment their survival chances by a single percent, then that could already be a tremendous success.
With everyone leaving in a hurry, Fell soon found himself standing alone in the street.
"I might have missed the event, but I"m in.", Fell turned his head looking at the source of the words
And saw Wind looking at him with a wry smile on his face. "I would never have thought that thing would go south this fast.", he added before walking toward his brother.
