BIOLOGICAL SUPERCOMPUTER SYSTEM

Chapter 1066: Harder than usual mission (4)

"But the Chimaeric Demons are not ready!"

"I know. I wasn\'t talking about them; I was talking about us. The Chimaeric Demons will have to stay behind and slowly conquer all the outposts around. I\'ve found out there are several, and if we silently take them all, we will gain an advantage on Hin, and we will slowly surround their capital and the blackguards\' island."

June thought for a second. "If this is the case, master. Then I suggest you don\'t give the Chimaeric Demons the Phantom Veil brain crystal power," June said.

"Why? It is clear is the best thing to do."

"It is a good thing to do, master, but not the best, and it will put you in danger. Instead, I have another idea, one that we sadly couldn\'t do because of us having to leave Liberty Watch. You should send the clones to hunt thaids and collect blood and brain crystals. We might be able to create the same, or at least similar, powers as before. This way, we should be able to give the other clones what they need without you having to stay without."

"But we will lose a lot of time," Erik said.

"We won\'t lose too much, master. If we really need to send Chimaeric Demons around the countries and also conquer the bases on Hin, we would still need for you to make more of them. Entering Sleb Harbour won\'t be easy. We will need time regardless, given Etrium\'s new technology having spread here and with new tools built just to get a hold of you. We need more fighters, and 20,000 Chimaeric Demons will not be enough."

"Right... But..."

"Master," June said. "You focus on training and making stronger clones. We will take care of the rest."

"Now..." June paused. "We\'ll need to gather our resources and plan our route carefully. We will have plenty of time to do that while we get enough Chimaeric Demons. I will prepare a team to go to Sleb Harbour so that we might enter without problems, and being able to go there with a foothold already established will be beneficial."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"All right, then."

Erik nodded, thanking June for his help. When things got tough, Erik sometimes had a hard time thinking clearly. This, along with his habit of taking risks, led him to make poor decisions, and right now, he couldn\'t afford them.

Despite not being the strongest of his clones, June proved to be much more than his brothers. Since he was among the oldest of the clones, he gained some sort of wisdom the others didn\'t have yet.

June\'s idea of making more Chimaeric Demons and slowly taking over outposts around Hin showed how smart he was at planning.

His plan helped with what they needed now and also set them up for success later. Erik was impressed by how June could think about both immediate problems and long-term goals.

He wondered if Noah and his other early clones, his firstborns, had become just as good at planning in their own situations.

Erik hadn\'t seen his first clones in a long time. He wondered how they were doing. Were they safe? Were they doing well? He thought about Liberty Watch, hoping his clones had found a place there and become important to the community.

Erik imagined his clones living in Liberty Watch. He felt proud, thinking they might be helping the community grow and stay safe. But he also felt worried because he was far away from them.

<I hope they didn\'t get on Samuel\'s nerves. That guy can be rather annoying some times.>

"Should we head back, then?" Erik said.

"Yes, master... but...?"

The clone gave a look at the bag Erik was carrying.

"What\'s there?"

"Oh... this? It\'s just a gift for Emily, Mira, and Amber."

The bag looked full, bulging at the seams with the mysterious contents. The clone\'s curiosity was piqued.

"Master, if I may ask," June said, his gaze fixed on the bag, "what exactly is in there? It seems quite full."

Erik glanced down at the bag, a hint of amusement in his eyes. "It\'s three full sets of armor and some weapons. Nothing exceptional, though. Most of the good stuff had already been given to the soldiers. This was what remained inside the armory."

June\'s eyebrows raised slightly. "Master, does this mean you\'ve decided to bring Emily, Mira, and Amber with us to Sleb Harbour?"

Erik nodded, his expression turning serious. It was unusual for him. "Yes, I have. Given how much more dangerous the situation has become, I believe it\'s best to keep them close to me. At least until the other Chimaeric Demons\' eggs hatch."

"I see," June said. "It\'s a wise decision, master."

The young man sighed, running a hand through his hair. "Exactly. I don\'t want to take any chances. Once we have more Chimaeric Demons at our disposal, we can reassess the situation. But for now, this seems like the safest option."

Erik and June started their journey back to their outpost right away. June changed his appearance to that of an Erendu, which helped them travel faster. The trip took two full days and nights.

As they traveled, Erik thought about the bag of armor and weapons he carried. He wondered how Emily, Mira, and Amber would feel about going to Sleb Harbour. Would they be worried? Would they be scared? Would they show the same determination they showed when they decided to come with him here?

<That will more likely be their reaction. I bet they feel a lot more confident in their strength

now.>

The journey was peaceful, even though the two decided to avoid fights.

When they reached their outpost, Erik felt relieved because there was much to do and not a lot of time to do it. He was ready to start their new plans.
