The Universe is Innately Just - Chapter 283

If one gazed at the surroundings, east of New Casablanca, one would gaze at a ravaged wasteland that didn’t contain any untouched paths. The ground was filled with numerous holes, and gaps were inlaid everywhere, a remnant from the war with the beasts, but mostly from the red haired Akainmhar and the winged entity, Thol’Yr.

The result of their fight could be seen from inside of the bubble that protected the city. But the state, inside of New Casablanca, could lay back as a screaming urgency was threatening their streets.

A pack of ten strong mutated beasts had resisted the appearance of the bubble energy shell and were still running in the smooth and clean street of New Casablanca. They laid destruction everywhere, as they followed the buzzing armored MechSuit next to them, that seemed comparably tiny when next to them.

The monsters separated, as each of them slid in one street as they followed the vehiclse and footed soldiers that had come to face them. They killed dozens of soldiers with one wave of their gigantic limbs, and had soon become a threat to the entire city, even more, dangerous than the creature outside of their wall.

“We need to take care of them before the energy wall disappears.”, roared one of the generals that had made his way to the battlefield. He stood in the back of a vehicle, one street afar from the humongous creature that was being confronted by a small army of flying MechSuit.

“How is the evacuation on going?”, asked the man while pressing a small object hidden behind his ear lobe.

“Seventy percent of the population is currently evacuating through the highways, and would soon make their way to the Core.”, he heard a clean voice appear in his head as his red eyes glinted. His computation AI worked rapidly as he analyzed the series of events that were ongoing.

Large graphs filled his view, with numerous rising and falling curve that showed the state of defenses of his city. He analyzed the long line of numbers as his hand began massaging his chin, before moving to his temples.

He closed his eyes for a second, his wrinkled face relaxed slightly, before asking one last question.

“How much time before the city is free of anyone except the armed corps?”, asked the man as he opened his eyes. The humongous creature in the distance was reflected in his iris- as the soft light of the sun illuminated the street he was facing.

He nodded, grunting in agreement with the time he had been asked to fight for. “We will hold them.”, he responded before breaking contact with the logistics crew.

“Engage them!”, he roared as he gave orders. A map of the city appeared in front of him, his eyes darted left and right as he gazed at it. Large red dots of different sizes could be seen in different places of the map, some close to the point where they were touching in the screen, while some were separated by a few streets.

The only good news he saw was that the dots were still confined in the north side of the central district of New Casablanca. The general analyzed the map, the position of the different armies, and prepared the order he was going to give. His mouth opened, as a determined and loud voice escaped from it.

“Separate the beast by any means. Our number one goal is to lead them away, do not confront them to the point where you might lose your life.”

“Lead them, try to deal constant damage to their defenses. But do not overstep your boundaries.”, his powerful voice entered the ears of the MechSuits pilot as he gave another line of order.

“Hear me out, soldiers! Do not lose your life. We had already lost too many soldiers when the breach in the wall happened, and the war is far from over.”. His fatigue and sadness flowed through the frequency released by the AI he had, touching the heart of the numerous soldiers that had survived to this point.

Tears welled on the corner of their eyes, as they grasped their weapons in steel clench, and gazed at the evolved beast with reddened eyes. Roar escaped from their lips as their MechSuit flew close the evolved beasts, dealing damage while avoiding being killed at any cost. They fought, with nearly twenty soldiers surrounding one beast, as they tried killing it to help the soul of their brother rest in the afterlife.

Their resentfully battle-cry spread through the city as it attained the ears of everyone in the northern army. It reverberated, with every soldier adding his roar, into one deafening sound that rose the morale of the soldiers.

Their pent up pressure was released in one go, as they once again took hold of their arm to defend their city against the dangerous monstrosities that were running amok inside of their city.

Their out of control action had to be taken care of, because the number of fallen MechSuit carcass laying in the street- where the northern army had held the beast wave- numbered in the hundreds.

The paramedical corps of numerous noble families had allied with the medical team of the authorities to come here. Their goal was the save any soldier possible, and their leader’s word had been heaven-defying.

“If a body have a wisp- a strand- of life in them, resuscitate them, do your upmost in this task, the families had agreed to use any rare resources existing their Safehold’s and Treasury.”

And as the soldiers fought the evolved beasts, and the citizens fleeing to the Core of New Casablanca, a group of forty individuals had made their way to the battlefield that happened in their city.

The ground under their leg trembled as mutated beasts of terrifying strength were running havoc a few streets in parallel. Their hearts thumped in their chests, and nausea made numerous faces pale in the same color as white sheets. A nauseous odor assaulted their noses as an oiled, bloodied, and burned smell of flesh made their nostrils twitch.

“Focus on the task.”, exclaimed a blond haired man that stepped out of a vehicle filled with numerous resources. “Put your masks for the odor, and gloves at that as we don’t know if the blood of the beasts is toxic.”, the man quietly advance forward without waiting for his peers.

The majority of the individual in the group of forty medical expert were too troubled by the scenery in front of them. The visual picture burned their iris, as the horrid smell made their lung heavy, but they still followed the man’s call without doubting him.

Most of them were formed of individual that didn’t hesitate at all to accept this mission. They didn’t regret coming here, and had only lost their composure from the absolute shock- that blasted their senses- of the war scenery around them.

“We have three MechSuits with us. Do not hesitate to ask for their help if you need help with physical tasks.”, he continued explaining as he moved in a spot where everyone could see him.

“That was all, get back to work.”, his tone was energetic, but his face was emotionless. This man was named Revello. He had been the leader of the medical team of one of the four main noble families.

His whole life had been spent with a scalpel in his hands, and had grown used to seeing dead bodies through his many years in their services. He was known, and well-reputed by the higher up of the city, as one of the best doctor existing in New Casablanca. His surgical techniques didn’t come from the city, and had been studied in one of the capitals in the face of the planet.

He sighed softly as he turned around, the steps of the forty individual behind him reverberated softly through the silent street. His message had managed to kick a fire in the guts of the people that had come with him.

He was aware that the majority of them were capable, and talented, individual that wouldn’t need his complete supervision to work as a cohesive team. He made his way through the street, as his mind assessed the picture of the one sided battle that had happened there.

He walked quietly as he approached the demolished north wall, and saw the thick protective bubble in the distance. He stopped in his track, as fifty meters forward, he noticed the army of evolved beasts, standing behind the transparent blue protective energy shell.

“They stopped that!?”, he mumbled as he felt a shiver crawl on his skin. He turned back, his face pale, and akin to the expression the other individual had.

“I need to save the one that can be saved!”, he mumbled in a determined way as he tried washing the horrifying image that he had seen. He began looking around him, his eyes searching for MechSuit’s carcass with intact trunks. In less than five seconds, he noticed a MechSuits buried under the wall of a building.

The heavy metallic alloy had even crushed one of the legs of the MechSuit. “Physical assistance is needed here!”, exclaimed the blond haired man loudly in a rapid tone. Sounds of engine spread from the end of the street, as two MechSuit rapidly arrived at the medic’s position.

“Lift this wall away. We need to free this soldier. The leg might even be intact…”, he mumbled as he moved away. He freed the way to the two green colored MechSuit that squatted swiftly, before rising in one go, lifting the heavy wall at the same process. They move a few feet diagonally, before slowly laying it on the ground.

The blond haired man moved immediately, the moment the wall was lifted, and took out a long object similar to a screwdriver. He manipulated the screwdriver near the MechSuit, and even assembled one part of the armor to gather better data. “Positive, there is still a very shallow heartbeat. We can save this man.”

“Quickly, quickly!”, he added as he knew that the life of the man could end at any moment.
