NOVPUB*Beep! Beep! Beep!*
A loud blaring alarm rang through the whole of Aurora Academy and soon enough, a voice boomed in all corners of the city. 𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒑𝒖𝒃.𝙘𝙤𝒎
"Listen everyone! Those outside doing whatever you are doing, I advice you stay locked in." Humfree's voice boomed through different speakers from his room.
"Damn it Head General, we don't have time for this." Gray shouted as he snatched the tech used to project Humfree's voice outwardly.
"Listen up you all! Not to cause panic or anything, but we are about to be attacked any moment from now. Civilians, stay in your damned house, adventurers, fighters and all strong personnels, meet me outside the academy gates.
This is not a drill, I repeat, this is not a drill. We are going to be attacked soon and I need everybody's strength so come on, meet me outside." Gray ordered through the tech.
"But what if the fight spills outside the academy to the city? Civilians might die." Humfree said as he tried to get out of his bed but he was too weak to.
"That's right." Gray mumbled and then he grabbed the tech again. "Alright you all, new plan. Countless Aeroglides will come down to the city to take all civilians away from the city to a safe place.
All pilots, pick up your damned glides and head over to the city to take the people to safety. Some strong adventurers will accompany you all and ensure orderliness."
"Good call. Now watch how the people panic." Humfree scolded.
A few moments ago, Gray had just come in to inform Humfree of the attack and so, he quickly grabbed a tech on the side of the wall to inform the people.
"What next?" Gray asked with sweat dripping down his face.
"We evacuate the people, stay here and fight." Humfree said as he pushed himself off the bed.
"We? No offense but you only have a single freaking arm. How are you going to help? Besides, the core members of the guild are out there, Jake is nowhere to be seen, in the whole guild, it's just me that's strong enough to lead the army." Gray said as he held out his hands in front of Humfree stopping him from moving away.
"Wrong, not just you." Humfree said with a smile on his face.
"Put a call through to all the branches of the guild. Phoenix guild, iron fist and also Raven wing's. Tell them to send back up as soon as possible."
"No need." A feminine voice said as the door to Humfree's room opened up to reveal a female with purple hair, two bulky men beside her and then, a young guy who didn't look older than 22 walked in too.
His slick black hair wavered in the wind as he stared at Humfree with his blue eyes which shone of determination.
The female was Helen; the daughter to the leader of the Raven wing's guild, one of the bulky men was her bodyguard from childhood known as Berg, while the last man was the Rave lord, leader of the Raven's guild and the father of Helen.
The young guy was Andrew; Blip's son from the iron fist guild.
"How the hell are you all here so fast?" Gray asked as he turned towards the people in front of him.
"We were quite close by. Like really close when we received the news and decided to come here." Helen replied as she causally walked towards Humfree.
"The news? How did you all get the news so fast?" Gray asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Jade had distributed a tech around the whole branches of the Fang hunters which would alert everyone of any danger. And so, here we are." Andrew shrugged.
"That kid is really helpful." The Rave lord said with a slight chuckle.
"I don't know how the iron fist guild was unable to detect him in time." Andrew sighed as he turned towards Gray and Head General Humfree. "So what's the plan?"
"Did you bring any men with you?" Humfree asked with a raised eyebrow. "Because there are only a thousand men left in the guild after that last attack."
"Kek Kek Kek!" The Rave lord laughed in amusement. "He asks if we brought any men. We brought a literal army of two thousand."
"And from my side, I brought one thousand, five hundred men." Andrew said with a slight yawn.
"Good. Now we help in the evacuation and after that, we fight like our lives depends on it, literally." Gray said with a short sigh.
*Knock knock!*
A short knock interrupted them as a female and a male entered the room, faces grim as they stared at everybody.
"We heard the news. We know what's going on. Just so you all know, we aren't running away. We will stay and film everything to the world." Erin declared.
"Wait, we are?!" Druig shouted as he turned towards Erin with a confused and worried expression on his face. "I thought we would get off this city along with the civilians?"
"Are you such a coward? These brave people are about to fight for the entire world and you want to run away? Instead of showing this bravery to the whole world." Erin snapped in anger.
"Bu… we are talking about the Alpha here. The same one who killed a world leader." Druig retorted.
"Does it matter? Look Druig, if you want to leave, do that. But I will stay here and report on this to the world, with or without your help. Besides, don't you know of the saying? The cameraman doesn't die." Erin chuckled.
"Yeah, but the reporter does damn it." Druig sighed. "Fine, I will stay."
"Do we get a say in this?" Helen asked after the duo were done bantering.
"Nope! So where do we set up?" Erin asked with a smile on her face.
'I knew that my gut feelings were right. There's something about this guild that attracts trouble. One could say they are a magnet that attracts trouble to them.' Erin thought.
"What are you all waiting for? Let's go and have our last stand against the werewolves!" Humfree ordered with a roar.
"Wrong. We…" Gray said as he pointed to him and the others behind him. "Will handle this, you will rest."
"That's right Humfree…" The Rave lord said as he walked towards the Head General, hands on his shoulders. "Rest up. Goodnight." He said and the next instant, his hands moved so fast that Humfree was unable to track him as the Head General was now seen slumping into his bed.
"Is he dead?" Druig asked with worry etched on his face.
"Nope! Just unconscious. Now come on, let's go." The Rave lord said as he dashed for the door along with the others with the aim of standing their own against the werewolves.
