That made it three of the four super countries wanting to pull out of this battle!
One couldn't really blame them, the United Capital had suffered the most in this war, this could not continue.
The delegates of this country had already been given full authorization to make decisions on behalf of their countries, so if they decided to pull out now, it will be a final decision.
The delegates of Galvia, United Union and Mongol Country were still undecided, but if things continued to go this way then they'll surely lose this war.
They begun to sway towards withdrawing their troops from this war.
But before they could decide, the crown Prince of Krustalia entered the command room.
The delegates were surprised to see the Crown Prince personally lead Krustalia delegates here.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please calm down and listen to what I have to say before you decide whether we should pull out of this war or not!" He said calming the room!
With a gesture of his hands, several files were brought before the delegates of the great nations!
The delegates couldn't help but widen their mouths in disbelief after seeing the content of the files.
"This files were seized from Archman Group subsidiares around the world!" The Crown Prince announced.
This files contained assets worth trillions and half maps of locations were resources were in abundance, there were also designs for weapons and technologies that was far superior than anything they had ever seen!
This was the true threat Archman Group possessed. This got the delegates thinking of the number of secrets Archman Group was hiding from them.
It was also a shock to them on how much wealth Archman Group had in their possession, they had barely been around for less than a decade and they had already amassed such wealth. This was simply impossible no matter how you thought about it,
"If the subsidiares of Archman Group had such information, imagine the number of secrets hiding within the Crystal Citadel!
Do you really want to give up on such wealth? Besides from the weapons they are developing, they won't need more than a decade to suppress us all.
Are we really going to do nothing about them when we know perfectly well that those weapons will be pointed at our throats sooner rather than later?" He asked the delegates
The delegates couldn't help but agree with him, they knew that Luke Archman would surely come for them in the future even if they withdrew now and sowed for peace.
Besides, they were greedy for Archman Group resources. Imagine the leap in improvement their countries and economy would experience if they took Archman Group resources for themselves.
"We've already begun this war, there's no pulling back for us now! The only path for us is to give advancing forward!" The Crown Prince stated calmly.
The delegates had to agree with the Crown Prince of Krustalia, since they have started this war they had to see it to the end. If they panicked now, that will be the end of them.
"Then how do you suggest we proceed with this battle?"
"The enemy is hiding behind a powerful protective barrier that seems impossible to breach!"
"Not only that there's also the situation with the invisible fleet, until now we've not been able to discover their location.
"Nuclear missiles won't work on them since they have the ability to disable it before it even reaches their territory.
"How do you suggest we proceed with this situation?"
The delegates reported the current situation to the Prince.
"I already know about all this situations, I can assure you all that Krustalia will solve this situation for now, all of you should step back and give us total control to handle everything! That includes your army and wepons" The prince added.
" And how do you plan to solve this situation if we give you full control?'' the delegates asked in doubt.
It didn't really sound wise to hand their entire army and wepons to the Imperial family.
"Trust me, we have our ways!''
The delegates had no other choice than to trust the prince.
After a round of discussion, they all decided to accept the Prince's request.
"I'll take my leave then!" The prince gave a bow before leaving with his entourage.
He had prepared to long for this war and wasn't planning to lose anytime now, he could lose the battle but not the war! If he lost this war he may lose his spot as Crown Prince as well.
"Contact the president of Blood Moon corporation, it's about time they took action" the Crown Prince ordered before boarding a helicopter headed for the capital of Krustalia.
He was going to request help.
...
At the borders of Eldrador, the troops from the Great Nations were in a gruesome battle with Archman main force and they were losing.
The troops of Archman Group had superior weapons, what was more vexing was the fact that their soldiers seemed unkillable.
They were a seventy thousand strong army and yet, they couldn't take an inch into enemy territory which was guarded by 50,000 soldiers.
Their numbers technically meant nothing since it gave them zero advantage over the enemy.
In their command center, they had just received an order from command HQ to prepare for an attack two days from now.
The order stated that the first line of defense of the Archman forces will fall by that time.
All the commanders found it very skeptical and hard to believe.
They've been trying to push the enemy back for the past few days, but they just couldn't counter the enemy firepower.
Besides the enemy fire power, the strategic location of the enemy was a natural defense wall, the first line of the enemy defense was situated on top of a hill making it difficult to claim.
They had tried using air support to bombard the enemy out of position, but the enemy anti aircraft defense was flawless, though they've been able to hit the enemies with a few of their missiles, they just got up and brushed their shoulders like nothing happened.
How were they supposed to fight such an enemy, but Command HQ was telling them that such a force was going to fall in two days time.
Moral of the troops here was also very low after news of what happened to the advance force spread.
"General does Command HQ actually know what they are talking about?" A vice general couldn't help but ask.
Even the general in charge here was skeptical about the order, if they didn't approach this well, they might suffer the same fate the secret invasion force suffered a few days ago!
"According to the info from command HQ, at exactly 22,00 hours two days from now, our forces should advance directly into the first line of Archman force defense.
The Intel says that at exactly that time, a secret advance unit will infiltrate the fortress and take down all the soldiers and the artillery stationed on the hills.
After they are done taking them out, we'll enter their defense base and attack them catching them off guard!'' A Sargent from headquarters explained to the generals.
"What happens if this secret unit fails, and my men are stationed right under the firing range of those cannons above the hills!?" The General asked.
"The secret unit won't fail! This is the reply headquarters want me to give you!'' The Sargent replied confidently.
"Very well, we'll do as the headquarters commands!" The General agreed.
He wasn't very optimistic about the chances of this plan working, but soldiers were supposed to follow orders even if those orders were taking them to the grave.
....
Meanwhile in the helicopter headed for Krustalia only contained four people including the two pilots.
The other person inside the helicopter was a man with long brown hair tired on his back, he seemed to be in his mid 50's and was constantly cleaning his glasses on his suit.
"Professor Johnson, I've held my part of the bargain and given you full access to all the files about Archman Group that we collected from their subsidiares, it's about time you held your part of the bargain!'' The Crown Prince stated casually.
"Your Highness I promised to reveal to you who the Archman family truly are if you let me go through their files, since you held your part it's about time I held mine!
Let me start by properly introducing myself to you, my name is Johnson Brown.
Over the last five centuries, my family have been investigating who the Archman family are after an ancestor of mine recorded seeing a Miracle at their...
"Wait! What do you mean your family have been investigating who the Archman's are for over the last five centuries!
Look here Professor Johnson, I'm not in the mood to entertain jokes! The Archman family have barely been around for 5 decades at most yet you are claiming five centuries ago!" The Crown Prince stated coldly.
He was already thinking about throwing this professor out of the helicopter if he didn't say anything sensible in his next statement.
Johnson could feel the killing intent from the Crown Prince.
"Calm down Your Highness, I understand where your doubts are coming from but what if I told you that the Archman family are the oldest family in the history of this planet!
What if I told you they were even older than your Imperial Family who are claimed to be the oldest family in the world, would you believe me?!"
"Impossible!" The Crown Prince blurted out.
Their imperial family was the oldest family in the world, dating back to almost two thousand years, If the Archman Group were truly as old as the professor was claiming,
There should have been records of their existence!
"Of course I haven't come to make this bold claims without any evidence"
Professor Johnson said as he reached into his suitcase beside him retrieving an old journal!
