PART 1 – The Cruelty of Act 2!
–––––––––––––––
In a wide area of the bunker, I took the [Hero Upgrade Card], selected Renner as my target.
"I don't know what will happen, so… get ready!" - Said smiling slightly, he nodded, having already taken off all his equipment and besides his clothes, he doesn't have any other items.
So I reach over and touch the letter on his forehead, which disappears and Renner slowly closes his eyes.
I pull away and then I notice clouds of smoke coming from my breath, forcing me to control my own breathing, since my internal body temperature is very high, respectively, my breath is hot.
But now, the air was getting colder and colder, sounds of freezing were echoing, enveloping Renner, where his clothes froze and his beautiful dark skin turned white, not because of a change in pigmentation, but because he turned into an ice sculpture!
The environment was getting colder and colder, I kept myself without any problems, but except for Rayli and Kassia, the others were suffering and were retreating, I spread my Aura, enveloping them and bringing them some warmth, along with that a discomfort, happens that my Aura is not the most pleasant, even that's why Rayli took my place.
I pouted, it's good for sex, but for other things it's just destruction… well… back to Renner!
He just stood there, I'm worried, but I feel his vitality growing continuously, spreading and then everything stopped, it was strange and then a powerful gale started and the icy wind hit us.
I was at the front, my clothes were being ripped, so I exhaled my Aura to protect myself and the girls.
A beautiful blizzard of ice blades, beautiful and deadly.
And soon, a cracking sound came, the sculpture started to move and slowly fragmented, showing the beautiful and sexy man standing there, his eyes became something more vibrant and even shiny, his hair looked whiter than usual.
Renner approached with his gaze calm, before forming a slight smile, I step forward and he goes weak, falling into my arms.
He was panting slightly, then laying his face on his chest and falling asleep.
...
The 2nd day passed, Renner was still asleep, Rayli stayed there to take care of him, I went out to meet Pericles.
"How is the situation?" - I ask my old friend.
"The mess you made in the north of the city ended up causing the entire city to lose power, but we prevented a major catastrophe!" - Pericles said laughing lightly and I roll my eyes.
"Do you have any information about the deaths?" - I ask.
"It is still being counted, but it is likely that they have exceeded 100,000 deaths…" - He said sighing.
"You know this must be just the beginning." - I say calmly.
"Yeah… I've been researching and most of the critters we've dealt with have been puppies or teenagers, not to mention those things are still in the sky!" - Said Pericles looking at the picturesque, but strangely beautiful sky.
"What about the military?" - I ask.
"Already contacted the Capital, for the most part, everything is already being taken care of, but they don't have time to send support, the entire Kingdom is under attack and many cities have already perished!"
I sigh hearing that, a real headache…
...
The next morning, Miliam took care of the preparations and now, we're all leaving the bunker, it's big and protected, but… I don't trust it.
It's a bunker with A-Rank protection, even S-Ranks would have a little trouble breaking into it, but… I don't know when a creature that lives underground might come out and cause trouble.
It's not good to be trapped in a bunker and if I had to fight, the whole environment would be destroyed and everyone could die buried.
So I asked Miliam for somewhere big and spacious, where she bought a University that had just been finished and would officially open next year.
We will make our base and fortress there, they have already asked us to stay with us and as many of them still have power, just as money still has a use, I agreed.
I told Miliam not to worry about expenses, you can spend everything if it is for our livelihood, if the situation is fixed in a short time, we could lose a lot, but at least we would prepare ourselves, in case the situation is the worst… we will have a better base strong.
Some B~A Rank Mages came to talk to me, wanting to know how I survived that, but I didn't say anything, they didn't need to know my secrets.
But other than that, many wanted to join me, some left worried about their families and others wanted to hire my services.
Naturally I declined.
The 3rd day started and…
[Act 2 – Abyssal Disease!]
Receiving this warning, I became alert and informed everyone to prepare, something was happening.
…
In the hours that came, nothing happened, until it finally did, about 5 hours after the System notification.
"Are people biting each other?!" - I'm alarmed.
"Miliam, order the formation of barriers to be accelerated, prepare an area to contain the civilians, but prepare personnel to observe them, I believe this could be a highly contagious Zombie Virus!" - I mean seriously.
"Zombie Virus?" - Miliam was confused, it turns out that in this world there is no culture of Undead + Viruses.
"From my secret, there are stories of Undead that when biting or scratching someone alive, that person will easily succumb, becoming a living dead capable of infecting other living with equal ease, if we are not careful, in a few hours, the entire City may be defiled, become home to the Undead!" - I say severely and she understands the seriousness.
She quickly sends a message to Pericles, who calls me wanting to know what I was talking about.
"Just listen to me! If someone is bitten, scratched, has a fever, has had contact with the corpses of these freaks, kill the person and burn their corpse, they are infected with a type of disease that we cannot cure at the moment, we do not understand, so if you want to minimize the legs, have no mercy, kill them all, or you'll turn into one of those things and… we don't know if the infected will maintain their peak strength or not, so please don't get infected, I don't want to have to kill an A-Rank Zombie Mage !" - I say and hang up, but I call again and say. - "Warn the Military!" - I finally hang up.
And I personally take to the skies, the city that was silent, started to fall into chaos, taking a deep breath, I soon chant my voice and scream loudly for all to hear.
"All civilians, stay in your homes and do not go out to help anyone, the freaks who invaded us, spread a disease, the infected people are already dead and if you are bitten or scratched, you will become mindless beasts and you will be forced to harm the people you love, so stay in your homes, don't go out for anything, we will do our best to deal with the infected and bring safety to everyone!" - I take a deep breath and repeat this 3 more times, my throat even hurts a little.
I really hope this helps, I even had Miliam order people to spread this information on the internet, I even recorded a video talking about it.
Even if I don't have accurate information, I'd better be prepared for the worst and if it comes back to bite me in the ass, so be it, I don't need to explain myself to anyone!
But unfortunately, the worst was happening and many people started to flee to where we were, wanting refuge.
…
"Please let us in!"
"I have 2 children with me, please save us!"
"I was attacked, I need care please!"
…
The cries sounded and I was the first to act, allowing them to open the gates, at the same time, I analyzed the people coming and killed the infected, I didn't hesitate.
As for the survivors, those who were receiving them were capable people, preventing them from getting out of control, forcing them to be ordered, I will not allow a ticking time bomb in my house!
The university library, which was slowly being cleaned up, was used as a center for refugees, but only for those who passed screening, as for those who didn't…
…
"I'm fine, I'm not sick!"
"It was my dog that bit me, I swear!"
"Lady, she is just a child!"
…
Wails sounded from the people assumed to be infected, Miliam's subordinates hesitated as there were children among them.
"Young!" - A loud voice sounded, I looked, a man in his 40s, having several signs of bites on his body, I thought it would be another one who would beg, but his steady gaze… shook me.
"You are doing a great job, do what must be done!" -He said and I noticed the green veins that very slowly spread through his body.
"What are you talking about you old bastard?!" - roared a kneeling woman.
"Look at my body, this thing spreading and eating away at me, look at yourselves, we are already doomed you fools, instead of uselessly begging, say goodbye to your families, write letters, record videos, do one last honorable thing before to die! I will die, but I will die proud that I was able to save some children from this disease, I will not see my grandchildren grow up, I will not see my idiot youngest son become a real man, but I am proud of my life and knowing that I did the right!" -He said laughing, tears in his eyes.
"Roxana, right? You are saving people, you have so much to protect, but you still opened your doors, thank you! Thank you very much! Please, if you can, pass this on to my children, they should be out there, I didn't create useless weaklings!" - Said the old man passing to one of Miliam's guards.
I approach and personally pick it up. - "Thanks!" - I say with sincerity, because the decisions I'm making, are made by impulse, concern and by 'experience' I had from games and movies from my past life.
I am condemning these people to death, because of mere fiction and paranoia!
Then I draw a sword and say. - "Those who want to die in a fight with me, take a weapon and attack me, I will bear all the consequences for your lives!"
The old man was surprised. - "You do not have to do this!"
"I made the decision, many out there will die because I spread the word from my analysis and concerns, but I don't care, I will be a woman and take responsibility for my actions! I am an A/S Rank Berserker, whoever wants to face me, pick up your sword and face me, I won't hold back!" - I say fiercely.
And the answer to my words, was the old man taking one of the weapons given by one of the guards, then he took a deep breath, strengthening himself and roared, advancing towards me without hesitation!
I don't hold back, but I don't attack, I receive his blows with my sword, before piercing his heart and sending my energy in order to supply all his senses.
"Such a fast sword... I didn't even see it coming..." - Said the old man smiling and soon started to shake, I hit his temple with my finger and he fell to the ground.
I grab the sword and look at Miliam who orders them to pick up the corpse.
"I will fight!" - Said a voice, looking... heavens, a girl of 14 to 15 years old...
"I wanted to be a Berserker too, I saw your fight and I loved it, I wanted to be like you… it will be a great honor to fight you!"
"I must say it will be a great honor!" - I say holding myself, I throw the sword at her and she attacks me.
So clumsy, but so many emotions, her face crying as infection spreads.
I let her hit me, before closing the distance, I touch her head and say. - "What is your warrior name?"
"Maria…" - She said sobbing.
"You are an amazing warrior, I would have had a fearsome rival, I wish to see you in your next life!" - I say and she smiles… damn, hold on Roxana, HOLD ON!
His body loses its strength, I lay him down comfortably on the ground, throw the sword on the ground and stand still, waiting for the next one to come.
And they come, taking the sword, saying their names and dreams, many were inspired by me, a commoner who trained so much to the point of surpassing the nobles, becoming a symbol.
But I don't see myself as a symbol, I'm just a pervert who has been given many gifts and will continue to receive them.
I'm a selfish woman, I don't deserve to be admired, so please stop coming!
"I am Tilan, a great swordsman! I will be the best in the world!" - God… please stop it!
"Come Tilan, raise your sword and attack me!" - I speak powerfully, a child, he must not even be 12 years old, he must not even understand what is happening, such a radiant and innocent smile.
Bravely Tilan attacks me, a sword he can barely lift, he lunges and I am struck, his sword rips through my clothing, I refuse to protect myself, it strips away all my defenses, I even strengthen its blade by slicing my skin , he is surprised.
"Heavens, what an incredible blow! I couldn't even see him!" - I say laughing, I fall to my knees. - "You defeated me Tilan, what envy, what an amazing warrior you are!" - I smile at him, he smiles at me, he hugs me… he stops breathing, I take him to be taken care of.
I throw the sword he was wielding, standing up has never been so difficult… damn it, kid… you beat me… what an amazing young man!

PART 2 – Fast Action!
–––––––––––––––
[Epione is shocked by your strength and determination! She rewards you with +10 Points to All her Attributes!]
[Ashura gets emotional at her actions! He rewards him with the Passive Skill "Iron Mind(S)"!]
Iron Mind – Rank S: Strengthen your mind, keep calm and composure no matter what the situation!
[Lucifer laughs at his suffering! He out of pity gives you +1 Charisma Point.]
[…]
I sit down, everyone has been taken care of, moving around has never been so heavy…
The rewards… I ignore them, I feel more comfortable, but everything seems so dark…
I feel something calling me, I don't know what it is but why is it so familiar?
It slowly gets louder, until… - "Rox, we're here for you!" - I hear Annie's voice...
I look and I'm in the arms of all of them, I hug whoever I can, so I cry, I can't take it anymore, Maria, Tayler, Tayrone, Marcus, Felipe, Miguel, Tilan...
I don't know when, but I fell asleep.
...
When I wake up, I ask Miliam who is the first one I see. - "How long do I sleep?"
"About 12 hours." - She said calmly, I nodded.
…
More survivors came, but they were taken care of, I trembled just getting close to the entrance, but if I held back and ran away from here, I'm a coward… sorry.
I'll take to the skies, look at the city from above, until I send Miliam, Pericles and the military to set sound traps, attract as many infected as possible, I'll take care of as many as I can!
Those 11 Points, I allocate them all in RES, which rose to 139, it was supposed to reach 150, which I believe, is Rank S, but then…
[Reach Level 60 for Transcend!]
I didn't quite understand, just that my Attribute was 149 and that was it...
I didn't think too much, I allocated the last point to Strength, so 149 is my limit, so be it, Level 60, I'll reach it soon!
...
The infected were numerous, it seems they had methods of finding the living, I killed hundreds of them every block I advanced, where I soon found some unusual infected.
Kiheheeheheh~
Freaks with green veins bursting all over their bodies, salivating, covered in blood, then rushed at me at high speed, exposing long fingers and nails that looked like knives.
I shape a long saber and wave twice, first slicing off their heads, then their chests.
They are not like the zombies I read about in movies and games, their brains and hearts need to be destroyed to stop them moving, luckily this is only for the already transformed, whoever was transforming, just their brains destroyed is enough.
And due to the inability to give them proper burials, their bodies had to be cremated to spread the disease.
Including several tests were being done by the Mages researching, a magical laboratory being set up in the Chemistry Laboratory.
The Priests were creating countermeasures against the infection, but everything was ineffective, which brought me relief, showing me that my actions weren't useless, but… I wished it were, as we would avoid more deaths in the future.
I would bear the consequences of what I've done, but now, let's put that aside, focus on protecting what's important to you Roxana!
…
The more I explored the city, the more mutants I found and so I captured them, as well as collected materials from the same ones I had killed.
I found survivors and told them where to go, the Luminous Academy or the University.
Later I was asked why I decided to focus my efforts here, while Luminous has so much space, my answer was… it was answered with the onset of the infection.
It would have been hard to be listened to, of course, I couldn't assume something like this would happen, but I knew decision making would be a problem and even though I'm strong, I'm still a kid in everyone's eyes.
I can do what I did, because Miliam supported me and she trusted my decision, even more so because I said I knew how it worked.
The Academy didn't fall, it's still standing, but the outbreak exploded and less than half of the refugees were still alive.
...
In the city a kind of double hunt took place, the infected hunting the living, while the Specialists hunted the infected!
Teams of Mages created several sound traps, attracting many of the infected and annihilating them.
Even that pit where I killed the Carnage Slime was chosen as the place to dump the corpses and burn them.
Even though it's an insult to the dead, unfortunately there's not much we can do, we don't have the manpower and… that's what I understood.
"This is the 2nd attack, it is not meant to deal with the specialists, these creatures would hardly hurt us, even the maximum mutants are C-Rank and it doesn't seem that the infection works on those of B-Rank and above." - I say calmly, everyone listening to me.
"The purpose of this attack is to decrease the population, our numbers, to prevent us from training them to become strong and resist what will come in the future, so we must save as many civilians as possible, or we will lose this war!"
"I agree with Roxana, we don't know what will come next, we must assume this is just the beginning." - Said Pericles.
"I'll be going along with Roxana too!" - Angelise said with a cold look and with the princess speaking, everyone had to accept it.
"At the moment we need to create 4 main points for the refugees, the main one will be the Luminous Academy, the biggest structure and if you build walls, it will be enough to deal with the infected, so support as many Earth Mages as you can. The next 3 points will be the University I'm at, the Power Plant and the Water Replenishment Center! The last 2 are key points, we need to keep them working or many will die!" - I say seriously and everyone agrees.
"Once we keep these 2 locations protected and functional, we will limit their uses to what matters and slowly take back control of the city, but for now, we will need to collect all supplies in the city, because without resupply, we will be forced to plant our own food and I believe we will not have enough for hundreds of thousands of survivors to eat." - I say sighing, food will be a huge problem, even more so with so many people.
And with me stopping talking, everyone started giving their opinions, agreeing with my plans, they are the most sensible and aiming at everyone's lives.
As for trying to support other cities, many experts were asking for that, not least because many powerful people from around the world were here.
But unfortunately we don't have time for that, they're on their own and I'm not leaving here.
...
The next day!
We secure the Power Plant, which works through a Magical Fission Reactor, similar to Nuclear I believe, only more stable and easier to handle.
I naturally don't understand anything, except that we constantly need Stones and Mana Cores to replenish its energy.
There were still many survivors who worked at the Power Plant, the saved resources are enough for months of electricity, focus on essential areas, it will last even longer.
But for the moment we didn't turn off the city's electricity, we allowed it to continue so that we could collect the resources from the markets.
Impressively the military were the first to act, looting everything they could, it was shameful to look at who should protect the people to act like this.
But I really didn't pay much attention, Miliam didn't stand still and even secured a Market near the University.
I went to the Water Replenishment Center, it was outside the city and… the place was besieged by Abyss Beasts, I took care of all of them, there was nothing above Rank B.
As for the people who worked there, even though I screamed, I didn't find any, but soon the military came to take care of the place and I left while the Mages did their work.
On return I thought of a possibility.
…
"Pericles, do you have a map of our State?" - I ask.
"Map? Of course I have!" - Pericles as always, being helpful.
He even took it out of his storage item, which by the way, I already have a new one, it's smaller than my previous one, 10 M³, half the size, but better than nothing.
"Why do you need the map?" - He asked while pointing to our city.
"The nearby villages, even though they haven't been civilized properly, still have a lot of population, the smaller ones have around 500 inhabitants, some of the bigger ones reach 1,000, there are also small towns 1~3 days away, if we keep a scope general… at least a population of 5 Million or more infected can come to attack us in the future, so if they have some way to stay organized, like those mutants, the chances of one of them evolving to have intelligence and command capacity is high , so… we need to prepare teams to exterminate and rescue!" - I mean seriously.
Pericles widened his eyes, thinking and knowing him, he'll get the point I'm making.
We cannot only think of ourselves, it may be hypocritical of me to have such a thought now, but I am thinking of others with selfish motives in mind.
The danger that a horde of millions of these infected can represent, even more if they are allowed to evolve, B or A Rank aberrations may appear in the future, I don't even want to imagine the possibility of having an S Rank, but it's always good to assume the worse.
So I will annihilate as many of them as I can beforehand, we will also be able to secure some fertile land for cultivation, which will be extremely important in the future, as there are many farms nearby, I don't know, but I believe there are places that cities and the military store food for emergency .
In addition, I am thinking of the Tiropia River, an area where large ships sail, which even leads to the Central Sea, there will certainly be many cargo ships with useful items and food transported.
I'm thinking about many things, but I must do this, for the best possible future.
And I also believe that to be the best in Act 2, the reward will be given not to the one who kills the most of the infected, but to the one who contributes the most to the good of humanity.
The more people I save, the greater my contribution will be, at least that's what I believe.
And from what I understand, the rewards of Acts are not something individual, but aimed at those close to the Players, it means that whatever comes in the future, it will need powerful companions.
And speaking of companions, I got a message and I smiled.
–––––––––––––––
PART 3 – Authority!
–––––––––––––––
"You pretty idiot, you've been sleeping for almost 2 whole days, do you want to kill me from the heart?!" - I growl and kiss my black beauty.
Renner grunted, but kissed me while boldly holding onto my waist.
I smile at him. - "Did you get strong and gain more confidence? Did he grow up here?" - He asked and I put my hand in his pants. - "It doesn't look like it's grown." - I say laughing and he blushes slightly, snorting.
"Are you well?" - He asks and my animation ends, but I smile and say. - "I will stay!"
"You are strong, I know you will overcome!" - Said Renner, he kisses me and smiles gently at me. - "Can you take your hand now?"
"… just because I was getting hard…" - I pout and he takes my hand away, I smile and start explaining things.
Someone even came, I sent her a message.
"Angelize, come on, we need to talk!" - I tell her.
"Yes!" - Angelise nods to me and dismisses her bodyguards.
…
"Don't worry, I told them the truth, they know about us." - I say.
"You know what?!" - Angelise was confused.
"Our world." - I roll my eyes, she sighs, then surprised, then uncomfortable.
"Don't worry, but I hope you help me, it will benefit you too!" - I mean seriously.
"Argh~ ok, talk!" - She grunts and listens to me.
"This is practically a Zombie Virus, so you must understand that the scale of this will be drastic and it will be difficult for an acceptable cure or countermeasure to be created!"
"…I understand, but why would I benefit from it? I have no interest in fighting for the crown, have you seen how scary my Big Brothers and Sisters are?" - Angelise snorted.
"Did you receive a reward from Act 1?" - I ask.
"…yes, a Hero Upgrade Card." - She said.
"What is your rank?" - I ask.
"Top 100, actually below that, I was told I got a standard reward." - She said.
"Hmmm… I see, I got 1st place, I received a lot of good things, this letter, do you have a use for it?" - I ask.
"No, but I can't transfer it to you, as soon as I thought of giving it to you, I got a notice that it wouldn't be possible." - She said and I'm sad, but I'll say it soon.
"Ok, the focus is, for Act 2, I believe the focus is on saving people, so if we want good Rankings, we need to contribute the most and I believe that passively, you could be one of the ones that will contribute the most, even more to our current situation." - I say calmly.
"Like this?" Angelise frowned.
"Princess, the Military is obedient to the crown, even if the Commander is not going to support him, he must still listen to your orders, if Rox supports him, his influence will increase and he will have no choice but to obey!" - Said Renner calmly, as expected of my man, barely woke up in the middle of the confusion and already adapted.
"So you want me to use my authority to help you and respectively increase my rank?" - she asked.
"No, I want you to use your authority to suppress an arrogant Commander who is thinking about merits and privileges instead of protecting the people who would be right, while using the excuse of protecting a member of the Royal Family! If you come to our side, he will be forced to accept your orders and even many of the Nobles in the Academy will come too, it will be easier to control them!" - I say calmly.
"Okay, what do I need to do?!" - She accepted easily, but isn't Angelise bad, a coward? Most likely, but at least she has a good heart.
...
"Your Highness!" - Everyone in the meeting room knelt in Angelise's presence, including me.
Angelise is not here as a teacher, but wearing Royal robes and the Reiter Family Emblem, which means she is using her authority.
"You can sit down!" - She said stoically as she sat in the main seat.
"Your Highness, we have just secured the key points for water and electricity replenishment for the city right now." - I say calmly.
"I already heard, now our priority will be civilians, ensuring that as little as possible is infected by these abominations! What countermeasures are being prepared?" - Angelise asked coldly.
"Your Highness, the army is taking care of the rescue and extermination of the infected, in a few more weeks, we will have control over the city." - Commander Octavio said.
"Well, secure the Hospital and maintain the medicines, as well as the Alchemy Center, we need to guarantee the maximum of these resources for the good of the people. I also ask you to use the method developed by Roxana, even if it hurts me, those infected must be taken to a quarantine and observed, at the slightest sign of infection, they must be executed, to prevent the spread of the disease, execution in the field is prohibited. survivors, if I learn of something like this without proper procedures, the culprits will be executed!" - Said Angelise.
"But Your Highness, the situation is an emergency, unfortunately we don't have the time to investigate the civilians, so at the slightest sign of injury, execution is allowed." - Said Octavio lowering his head.
"I do not care! Innocent people may be being murdered unjustly, it is our people who are dying, even if this can be dangerous for us, we must show a minimum of humanity, just as Roxana did days ago!" - Said Angelise which made me close my eyes.
"A 16-year-old child who recently came to power, she acted firsthand to protect those she cares about and even sacrificed herself, staining her hands with innocent blood, to show her respect and humanity. A commoner girl, who was insulted for her skin color by all those around her, is displaying such humanity and does it mean that the military, the sword that protects the Kingdom and its People, fails to show an ounce of respect?" - Angelise looked intensely at Octavio who swallowed his saliva.
And everyone around was embarrassed, my actions were scattered, whether it was bad or good, it doesn't matter, I already did it!
"Can I have a word?" - I ask and she consents.
Slowly, I spread out the map of the state we are in and start talking about my plan, which is to create groups to explore, annihilate and secure supplies.
The food we have all over the city, it's impossible for it to last even 2 weeks, we need to secure emergency food stocks, as well as deal with any dangers.
I'm stepping up to deal with the infected in nearby villages and smaller towns, save as many lives as possible, and call for rescue teams.
"I agree, not only me, but many of my friends will be in the rescue team and will accompany Mrs. Roxana!" - Said the Marquis Phinias, the representative of the nobles of the State of Tiropia.
"We cannot allow this!" - Octavio vehemently refused.
"Commander, with all due respect, go to hell!" - Phinias said it was a big shock for everyone.
"We live in these lands, our homes, families and people who trusted us with their lives live here, the opportunity to find out how they are has arisen, so let's take advantage, then we will follow Roxana!" - Said Phinias intensely, it is obvious that his concern for his family is very high.
Octavio snarled at this enormous disrespect.
"I agree, I will allow it!" - Said Angelise.
"Your Highness!" - Octavio panicked.
"Commander, it's your families, they have such a right and the opportunity has come, Roxana is strong and reliable, and her actions will ensure the safety of our people. The infected are evolving and the probability that in the near future there will be aberrations of Rank B or even A, including the possibility of being born an aberration capable of commanding the others, the danger that this would bring to the city is enormous, Roxana cleaning these creatures, including , dealing with the Beasts that fell from the sky, many of which are Rank A, will bring safety to us." - Angelise said seriously and Octavio was forced to be quiet.
"Roxana, I will give you all the necessary authority to act independently, prepare the groups and take whoever is necessary, unfortunately I don't have the strength for that, so I'll leave it to your care!" - Angelise said, who then looked coldly at Octavio.
"Commander Octavio, I expect a better performance from you, otherwise, when the situation normalizes, I assure you that you will be punished by Royal Law!" - Angelise said coldly.
"FORGIVE ME!" - Octavio shouted falling to his knees and Angelise ignored him.
She then wanted to know more about the situation, it was explained to her and… Angelise is strangely amazing!
She analyzed the city map and focused on key points, including ordering the dozens of kilometers test area to be cleaned, Nature Mages to take care of the land and prepare it for planting.
This place is not worth using as a refuge, but as it is a walled area, it would be suitable for planting and easy to maintain security.
She also ordered that rations be rationed for non-combatants, while combatants would receive twice as much.
It also allowed for forced recruitment, accompanied by training, even if they are not useful against the Beasts of the Abyss, they will be useful in dealing with the Infected in the future and keeping such a large city safe!
Angelise surprised me, in the end, she is someone to be trusted.
