V.47 Fate III
It's very easy for them to get past immigration, a small bag of coins is all it takes to get them inside. The guards even escorted them inside with a huge smile on his face after all Arc was very generous with his tip.
Inside Arc was laughing hard, after all, he came here to plunder their years of efforts, and yet their guards are welcoming them with a huge smile on his face he even escorted them inside, all the while telling them what to expect inside like a good-natured tourist Guide.
Inside its very easy for them to look for their destinations, after all, they have been planing this for weeks Gedeon was able to rent a small warehouse inside the cathedral, many prominent merchants do the same, in fact, only big merchants are renting a warehouse, many just come to sell their wares and leave only those who have a huge company backing the are renting warehouses since the wares they have are much more than average merchants and those merchants who are renting a warehouse are what the HOC are looking for, they treat them more generously and gives them special treatment, and that's how Gedeon and his team was able to gather so much intel.
Also, Gedeon was starting to get his name known to many HOC, for one the wares Gedeon was selling was quite unique, because many of them are the product of System factory such as drones. That's right, Gedeon was selling GT drones in the cathedral, of course only in small numbers but that's also an opportunity for them after all those drones are under Eve or Specter and can be activated anytime. Unfortunately, many of the drones are dismantled for study.
But many remains inside the Sanctuary, unfortunately, the Sanctuary are protected by powerful jamming and therefore those drones are unable to send any intel.
Inside the warehouse, Gedeon and his team are waiting for Arc, each and every one of them have a full-size mech on their storage rings, Gedeon knows that once the operations started they won't be able to go back here again, after all, once the drones have been activated it will be easy to know they are involved, after all, they are the only one selling those drones. Fortunately, they are wearing facial camouflage so they are not using their real faces. So looking for them after is a pipe dream.
There are over 50 Celeste in the warehouse those 50 are the best of the best of the Celeste, and when they saw Arc they all have the same veneration on their faces, and they are also excited they had enough playing merchants. After all, they are a warrior race fighting is in their blood.
Arc nodded at them there was no need for briefing they all been briefed before and knows what they have to do.
They are just waiting for Arc since he was the one carrying all the droids since only his storage ring has the capacity to carry all those droids.
Arc then released several hundred Droids one at a time they will then be given to the Celeste because before the celeste enter the cathedral their storage rings are full of drones, drones that they sold to the HOC, now that the Drones were sold they have space to carry the droids
Each Celeste was given 200 1-star droids, and then they will disperse throughout the Catedral, in a group of 4 each group has its own targets.
It didn't take long for them to get the droids and one by one left to go to their intended target.
And when only Arc and his group remain, Jem has a huge smile on her face its been a while since they have a huge mission. In a few hours, the operation will start it will happen during the night.
According to the intel, they have gathered it's the best time to attack as many of the guards are outside the Cathedral patrolling the surrounding area for beast attacks.
This will give them time to create enough chaos and force those inside the Sanctuary to go out and deal with it, it was at that time Arc and his group would infiltrate the Sanctuary.
Arc was sitting crossed leg meditating, he has been doing this a lot as it helps him to better control his power, as for Ruby she was with Jem playing with Lilly, and Tom and Jerry as always are besides Arc protecting him. They just felt better if they are closer to Arc and protecting him even if he doesn't need it.
A few hours later Arc opened his eyes, "It's time" he said smiling.
The group nodded with a smile on their faces.
Arc and his group then equipped their own warbots and entered stealth mode, leaving the warehouse, It is already dark outside but there are still many people walking the street. Many are merchants and some are pilgrims, guards can also be seen everywhere. Patrolling or simply taking a stroll after all Cathedral is one of the busiest Cities in Eden, despite its religious premise.
Arc then released a thousand droids, everyone stop walking and looks at the many droids who suddenly appeared on the street.
Many notice the peculiarity of the situation and started running aways while many could comprehend that someone was willing to attack one of the most powerful organizations on Eden and thought it must be some kind of event. The guards however know this is not an event they have prepared and started to prepare for battle.
Arc seeing it cant help praising them for their astuteness. Arc immediately ordered the Droids to attack, and 1-star droids can cause severe damages to anything it targeted. The Droids targeted the buildings mainly buildings belonged to the HOC, or Hands Of Cain after all Arc doesn't want innocent merchants to get killed, although many of them are not exactly a good guy, but not knowing about doesn't make it ok. And so Arc's first targets are the Building that belonged to HOC.
A thousand 1-star Droids is enough to level any city on the Bright galaxy, but here the building is tougher than the ones on Bright Galaxy but despite that, a single 1-star drone is enough to demolish it in a single attack how much more a thousand.
An alarm immediately rang in the city, and that was just the start the Celeste who was hiding in a different part of the city immediately started to attack too using the droids.
Chaos immediately happens, countless people are running on the street looking for cover or simply running for their lives. Especially the merchants they immediately started running to the exit to leave the city, this is exactly what arc wanted, those who are leaving will prevent those guards from entering the city.
This will force the people in the sanctuary to deal with the problems, but despite waiting for some time there was no sign of movement from the sanctuary.
Arc cursed looks like they don't care about those living in the city, in fact, he was correct in his hypothesis, the people on the sanctuary looks at the city and scoff, the city was the responsibility of the lower members. But many of them are annoyed since many of them have properties in the city.
"They better protect my properties or they won't hear the end of it." said one of the priests.
"What's going on over there anyway?" said another holding a glass of wine unconcerned to the city who was burning in front of his eyes.
"Who knows, maybe some merchants have brought a rampaging ancient construct without securing it first, it's not the first time it happens," said another
But a girl who looks around 20 something looks at the city with a serious expression, on her face, and yet none of the people here shows any contempt or mention anything regarding it.
"Lady Margareth, what are you thinking?" asked another man.
Yet Margareth remains unmoved like she didn't hear the man asking.
But the man doesn't look like he was offended. After all, the one in front of him is the youngest Cardinal in HOC history, Lady Margareth of the Blue cross order.
