The Conspiracy of the Elites - Chapter 418

Before Clark left Savannah City, he made sure to recharge the energy reserves of his exotic car as they were already bordering on the edge of being depleted which was something he didn’t want to encounter now.

As soon as he drove outside the city to a region not embroiled in the battle, he contacted Vatican City with his communication device.

Throughout his duration in Savannah City, the more he felt bad for the thousands of innocents that already died to this war, the more he felt scared of seeing such a scene happening in his city.

As soon as the call went through, the mere hearing that the Pendragon mercenary group was already there was enough to calm his heart.

He didn’t speak with Emily or King as this was not the time for that. As soon as he dropped the communication device, he started thinking of his next step.

Despite being out of battle right now, he could still feel his blood burning hot in a hyperactive manner. His body remained tense like an opponent would appear immediately, prompting him to start another battle.

He tried to control it but he could not as his hands remained shaking like he was someone suffering from Dementia.

The difference was that his was not a disease, this was how his body reacted when he was in an emotionally riled up state.

In just slightly more than a decade, the transition from the helpless kid in the previous Mocan invasion to the Lieutenant Colonel whose every action decided the fate of tens of thousands of lives was drastic.

He could feel himself breaking down mentally already due to the pressure, but he did not let himself succumb to it.

A lot of people had their hopes on him, deciding to chicken out now meant that a lot of helpless children like the former him would not get to live as an adult, they wouldn’t get to have a girlfriend, a wife, a family.

Thinking of all this, his brain was overwhelmed as he buried his head on his hands. He didn’t stay like this for more than a minute, he forced himself up.

Back when he was still the helpless Clark Pendragon, other soldiers just like the present him fought bravely to ensure that he would not experience a fate that was worse than dogs.

Now, it was his turn to do the same. This time, he was the guardian of this region and he was not going to let his fellow countrymen down.

Pumping himself with this, he quickly listed down his next targets.

>Autumn City, Emerald City, Savannah City, and Iris City>

These cities were the cities bordering Vatican City with Savannah City. He already did his job in Savannah City, now the next target was to move fast to reinforce these 2 cities.

If he could help them and stabilize their situation on time, then he would contemplate going to other cities to help.

Currently, the Spartan republic was basically on fire and it was high-grade soldiers like him that could supply the water to quench the fire and rescue the victims.

Before leaving, he checked how much time that he still had.

22:08:57

…

Emerald City, main Government building.

Boom!

The Fighter jet jerked as a high caliber bullet tore through its tail side, penetrating directly into its engine port as the kinetic energy accompanying the bullet to produce friction ignited the energy powering it.

The jet lost control immediately due to its already outrageously fast speed, the pilot could not stabilize it on time as it quickly span out of control.

A few seconds later, it crashed, exploding into a cloud of mushroom.

Clark rushed out in a concealed manner, closing the distance to a few Mocan war Helicopters before the pilots could recognize the danger.

Bam! Bam!

His sniper rifle never failed him, each shot equaled the death of a pilot.

As the helicopters spiraled out of control, the shocked Mocan soldiers finally discovered the new reinforcement that was spreading this sudden destruction among them.

Immediately, they retaliated but Clark already formed a meticulous plan to curb all their retaliatory actions.

Compared to Savannah City that was already on the verge of destruction when he arrived there, Emerald City held much better to the invasion. Their soldiers and those of the Panda military division reacted impeccably to the invasion.

Despite their perfect reaction, the forces of the Mocan republic were still superior so they were originally slowly being pushed back until Clark arrived.

Faced with such competent allies, Clark no longer needed to be the only anchor of the plan. He had a lot of strong helpers this time, which meant that his plan was much more effective and efficient.

Paired with a soldier of his caliber, in just an hour and 30 minutes since he arrived, with the help of the Panda military division forces, they killed over half of the Mocan soldiers, destroying lots of their war resources in the process.

Faced with such horrifying destruction, the Mocan soldiers could only retreat with their tails behind their legs.

After going back to the strategic defense fort that they already prepared for the war, the situation finally reverted back to a siege battle.

Clark joined in the siege battle for 15 minutes, killing even more Mocan soldiers in the process before he left the battlefield. He rested for 15 minutes before secretly leaving the city.

…

Autumn City, the city outskirts.

Compared to the previous 2 cities that Clark rushed to help, Autumn City and their Anaconda military division was so fierce that they already fought the Mocan forces to a stalemate outside the city.

Getting there, all he needed was add the extra force, tipping the scales and resulting in a massacre of the Mocan soldiers.

The battle reverted to a siege battle again, but despite that, the Mocans suffered so much deaths and material losses that they had no choice but to flee from the city.

Clark only spent an hour there.

…

Iris City, main Government building.

Unlike the other cities, this was a peculiar city in the Spartan republic that placed more emphasis on diplomatic development than on military development and resources.

They had the money in abundance but at this moment, money was not enough to save them from their predicament.

The city was undoubtedly the worse of all 4 cities bordering Vatican City. The head commissioner was already assassinated, and the Mocan forces practically overthrew the city already.

For this, Clark went all out again but he knew that the city was lost already.

All he did was seek the cooperation of the Turtle military division to fight a defense-oriented battle, allowing the civilians who were still alive to be evacuated from the city to Autumn City that was in a much better situation.

By the time that the few civilians were able to evacuate the city, the whole city was already submerged in blood, the blood of Vatican Citizens.

Seeing this, Clark felt anger overwhelm him but he was helpless. He could not reveal his trump cards which only left him angrier.

Fighting his guilt and sadness for the thousands of deaths that were recorded in the city, he drove out with his exotic car to go reinforce other nearby cities in need of help.

…

All over the Spartan republic, this was the same thing happening as the high-grade soldiers took over the situation, rendering help left and right without rest just to stabilize the situation.

There were lots of defeats, and some victories, and tons of casualties.

This was war!
