[Grandora City]
Even though Head Chief Oliver's idea was dangerous and an insane solution to their fighting power agaisnt the enemy, this was not the time for them to be choosy in terms of allies due to the fact that their very own survival was at stake.
In the face of a major enemy both good and evil should join forces in order to even have the fighting chance of living. Due to that type of situation, the objection of the various countries were overruled by Head General Alex, after thinking about the proposal more carefully.
Of course following this, they soon broadcasted it all over the city about their plans against the enemy in the conference arranged by the growing concern of the media in regards to the outside world.
Since the people of Grandora city are almost clueless about the happenings in other countries, this piece of news naturally caused worry among the citizens and even panic among the crowd. Due to that rally begun appearing on the streets, while some people started rushing to the stores for supplies, and others pulling people to listen to their propaganda of the end of times.
To be exact it was quite a chaos, so much chaos that it even brought the residents of the city to hate and isolated he refugees from other countries while saying stuff like they brought disaster to their paradise. Nevertheless it was quite problematic.
Even if the the remaining leaders and the organization heads knew that this chaos would happen if they revealed the whole truth, they can't afford to hide the happenings outside the city's walls, due to the fact that this fight was a fight for their survival. The main objectives of this reveal was to show people that they weren't going to give up even if they were cornered by the enemy time and time again, they will fight for their survival.
Alongside it, they also wishes to motivate other people to join their cause in order to raise their forces agaisnt the enemy.
But first they will have to deal with the chaos that they had created. In response to that, they then issued a martial law throughout the city.
In this sense it was up to Alex to decide whether to take down the martial law or not. It may seem excessive since martial law was issued twice in this city, but this martial law held greater importance since they are at war now.
Just like they expected, not long after the announcement, many people expressed their will to join the city's forces by either signing up to the military or queuing up for becoming agents. And since they needed more manpower, they actually lowered their standards of passing through their exam.
What's more with all the remaining countries support, the photon project was finally able to move, as they managed to install the energy unto the various weapon they created, guns, swords, shield, arrows, etc. As for their defensive weaponry, they were able to only make 5 machines who could fire the energy only once in their machinery life.
Since the photon energy in defensive weapons have much higher output than the weaponry, it was quite natural that the current technology for the defensive weapons was almost not compatible to the current main energy source, that is the reason why only 5 heavy defensive weapons can only fire the energy once.
But despite everything going so well, there was quite a problem on another area, and that is getting the cooperation of the prisoners to join their cause.
Some spit on them, some ridicules them, some trolled them, while some don't even care if everything is destroyed and they die, that's just how much the prisoners in Agartha hated the organization. However despite that they were able to convince some small time crooks to join them in exchange for their freedom. But that wasn't enough.
In comparison to small time crooks who are no different than ordinary agents, the people who are in the lock down unit are what the general wanted to recruit. After all this people locked up inside are people who are at the same level as the officers of the organization, meaning they are really freaking strong and one of the powerhouse inside is August.
August, the de facto leader of the R.E.A.P.E.R terrorist group that gave quite a headache for the organization in the past few years. He was so strong that he had killed a lot of the organization's agents without even bathing an eye. He could also take down a whole city all by himself if he is unrestrained. He is a walking Calamity, that is how strong he is.
If it weren't for Kanzaki's mysterious awakening, he would've escape the organization's pursuit once more in Russia while leaving disasters in his wake.
"How is the talk with the leader of the terrorist group coming along?" Asked by Head General Alex
"Thats.... he is uncooperative, he says he only talks to one person" said by Head Chief Oliver
"One person?"
"Its the person who managed to fight him in equal standing"
"!!!"
Hearing that Head General Alex then racked his brain as he suddenly remembered one specific person in the documents.
"That agent? I believe his current status is ordinary agent right?"
"I'm currently planning to prepare his promotion due to his achievement sir"
"But even if he gets his promotion, he still doesn't have high enough rank to know about this place right?"
"I... he already knows about the underground prison sir"
"He knows about this place?"
"I... I brought him here once"
When Head General Alex heard that, he then turned to look at Head Chief Oliver in surprise as he then said.
"In that case, bring that agent here, tell him we need his help to talk to August, no matter what we need to make August help us in this battle, we need all the powerhouse we could get for this defensive battle"
When the Head General said those words, Head Chief Oliver then immediately followed as he quickly called for his assistant to contact Kanzaki and bring him here as soon as possible.
