Chapter 1269: Settling Dust
"Anything?" Ilvere asked upon seeing Tamira entering the conference room.
"Still nothing. Our liaison said the council is still investigating 'our claim.' None of our independent sources are reporting any movements or secret preparations, either."
"Useless!" Little Bolt slammed his hand onto the table in anger. "We bring word that the Kan'Tanu's leader is dead and a recording of a second Chapter being razed to the ground. And they do nothing?! Does Lord Atwood have to bring the whole cult to their knees before they get their act together?"
"It's not only that," Tamira sighed. "We've received multiple reports of World Lords and chapter elites appearing on battlefronts throughout the sector. They're pushing hard."
"Rats abandoning a sinking ship," Ilvere spat. "It's been almost a day since the Chapter of the Broken God fell. News of the Eternal Guardians should have spread among the Kan'Tanu elites by now. I bet the smart ones are spending all their Faction Merit to escape through the battlefronts."
"Did Lord Atwood say if the giants would continue to Zecia after wrapping things up in Zurbor?" Carva asked.
"I don't know much beyond the report and orders I've already relayed." Mark Marshal shook his head. "But I Doubt it. From what I understood from our brief exchange, Lord Atwood was limited to imparting a very simple set of orders. Kill the Foreign Gods and then wreak havoc on Zurbor. They can't think for themselves beyond that. I assume they'll stop or try to return after they can't find any more targets within range."
"And how far is that?" Ilvere asked.
"Your guess is as good as mine," Mark said. "At least it looked like they should have sensed the other chapters. I'm assuming that's why they crushed all those stars to build a road, ignoring the whole continent and its citizens."
