It would take at least three hours for the people at the base to prepare, sending five thousand soldiers this time could be a very risky move due to the power division between bases!
This was something that Airon had been analyzing since he arrived in this city, and what no one had been seeing. Airon's view and way of seeing things are ten levels above what can happen, making him a powerful leader capable of standing with the strongest forces in this world.
First of all, it should be considered that at the moment there are at least 50,000 people belonging to the S.C.T. organization, and that's only thanks to Alabama being taken in these last few weeks.
Now, considering that within those 50,000 survivors, a little over 25,000 are soldiers with real training, within that huge force, there were another 10,000 in reserve, considering military police and cadets who are still receiving training, giving a total of 35,000 survivors with fighting capacity.
But not all of them are soldiers since a lot of manpower is needed to clean cities, work in surveillance positions, logistics, armory, factory, maintenance, security, guard among many other things, so there would possibly be a little over 20,000 active soldiers who can start in all areas as long as their main job is not active.
Right now in Alabama, there are a little over 10,000 soldiers, eliminating walkers, cleaning up the entire area to avoid internal infections or plagues, and from rescuing new survivors to eliminating dangerous groups.
If Airon mobilizes 5,000 troops right now and forces their way into South Carolina without a plan, many things could get complicated.
Everything was simple if you think about it in the following way: There are numerous military bases in Atlanta, and not to mention Georgia had numerous checkpoints where the organization's force is distributed orderly. If Airon mobilizes another 5,000 troops right now, he will greatly weaken the force his organization has.
It should be noted that Airon was expecting some attack or visit from the CRM, although the entire area they have is protected by anti-aircraft defenses, powerful turrets, and combat planes, a considerable part of their force would enter an area that he does not control at all.
If you think of those 5,000 troops as a small boat that suddenly enters the Black Sea, to a particular central point without taking into account everything around it, you will be surrounded by unknown forces.
Unlike in Alabama, where a well-coordinated attack was planned by air and land, there was nothing planned for South Carolina other than the main idea, repelling the organizations in this place and partially controlling South Carolina.
But the problem would be that they do not know what is in other places, and that would require hard work by their organization, and from the moment Airon gave the order, he was thinking of the best countermeasures.
However, all of this would be resolved if they took a strong position in the beaver community, so it was important to first get there and take them immediately as part of their own people. After all, they were all human.
"I have an idea!"
...
In the car, Manny was full of curiosity as soon as Airon mentioned Texas. Since the end of the world began, his brother served there as a soldier and he never heard from him again. Therefore, he was really intrigued.
"What were you doing in Texas? That's a very far place..." Finally, Manny broke the silence.
Airon, who was silent, opened his eyes and said, "Well, I went to save someone and in the process, I also saved the world..."
"Sometimes I don't know if it's sarcasm or if you always tell the truth..." Joel interrupted the words Manny was about to say.
"Hahaha, I have never lied..." Airon laughed sincerely and said, "A madman I killed wanted to destroy all remaining life to supposedly preserve new life, it was something like a rebirth."
"And how supposedly would he do that?" Manny was really puzzled.
"Nuclear bombs!"
"Yuck!"
"Hahaha, that story gave me goosebumps..." Laughter was heard and the driver couldn't help but tease.
Airon closed his mouth, smiled modestly, and only said, "Well, I wouldn't think it was a nice story..."
Manny looked at Airon through the mirror and immediately thought, "He's not lying!"
He couldn't say for sure, but he felt a sinister premonition from Airon that he couldn't comprehend. What can an unarmed man do?
By the time they arrived, Airon and Joel were escorted inside a large stadium. Under Joel's watchful eye and Airon's indifferent gaze, both were led inside and soon arrived at a hallway where two burly men were standing.
Previously, Manny had been in touch with Merlene, who had authorized Airon to be taken directly to her as soon as they arrived.
"Tell Merlene we're here!"
"You can go in..."
Airon calmly entered the room and soon saw a black-skinned woman smoking at the moment. Her gaze immediately met Airon's and she said, "How stupid and arrogant must you be to think you could leave this place alive after your people killed more than forty of mine, are you stupid or an idiot?"
Airon smiled and said, "Believe me, it would be a big mistake to think that just because you wounded the Lion, it still can't roar."
Merlene's eyes flickered, she looked up and down at Airon, and just as she was about to ask something, a voice came from outside, "Joel!"
"Tommy!" Joel shouted his brother's name almost instantly.
Airon watched this scene in silence, he was now at the base of the Fireflies, so his plan was about to begin.
"This is fun!"
