Chapter 283
"Welcome everyone. For those that don’t already know, I’m Alpha Conway. In just a few minutes we will have dinner ready in the courtyard between the housing buildings. You’ll find there are a great number of strange and unique things about our community, but any of us will be more than happy to help you adjust."
All attention is on him now and Elder Song gestures that we should make a hasty retreat while we have the chance. "If not now then we will likely be delayed for days again. That will just give them time to prepare and plan for our arrival."
That’s a very good point, this operation will go much more smoothly if the Divine Transfer has no idea what we’re up to.
We hop over the Town walls and have run quite a ways into the muskeg, looking for a good spot to Transfer from when Karl gets a genius idea. The area is swarming with monsters, why not find a nest of them and set a bunch loose in the other world? That should cause the kind of chaos we’re looking for.
"If we portal to the East first, we can find hundreds of category 3 and 4 monsters clustered together. Opening portals for them to random spots all around a world that doesn’t have any should be enough distraction that our movements, and any suspicious disappearances, won’t be easily noticed or traced." Karl suggests with an evil grin.
As soon as he finishes talking Elder Song opens a portal and jumps through, leaving the rest of us to hope he’s with the new plan. He is, but a bit more recklessly than I had anticipated. The portal he went through opens to a large field where both monsters and Giants of all sorts are fighting. They’ve just begun to engage, and the two sides are mixed everywhere that I can see.
We’re in the middle of a battle on an epic scale. Nearly a hundred thousand giants by my rough estimate have come to quell the monsters in their ongoing war. They’re all limited to the Mortal Realms in power while they’re on Earth, but that might not be the case elsewhere.
Song and Karl have started opening random portals on the ground, each a dozen meters across, dropping everything in the area through to the other side before closing. There are so many fighters the open spaces quickly fill with more combatants, and the two continue their work as rapidly as they can cast more spells.
Of course, it didn’t take long before we were noticed, forcing Lelou to transform into her mighty Red Dragon form and me to draw my swords as we fight off angry giants bent on eliminating the troublemakers interfering with their battle.
