At the demon base the Defense head was talking to the Medical head in the Chiefs tent. The Defense head starts off the meeting with “How long will it take for the sick and injured demons to be treated?”
The Medical head responds almost instantly “3 night cycles or more for those infected. 1 to 2 night cycles for those burned depending on how severe”.
The Defense head shakes his head “Not good enough, I need all the burned working at first light. Those infected I want to be working at the next first light”
This time the Medical head shakes his head “Those demands are not possible. Not only is it impossible to treat that many men in that short amount of time, we have almost no supplies.”
The Defense head stares directly at the Medical head “Then get them in working condition, I need all hands on deck.”
The Medical head turns around to walk out saying “You went insane, I refuse to your demands.”
The Defense head then says “Alright then, have it your way. Men arrest him.”
The Medical head was jumped by 2 demons and pinned to the floor. The Medical head started yelling “What are you doing!? You know you can’t kill me, the Chief will have your head!”
The Defense head walks up to the front of the Medical head and squats down. “I never said I would kill you. You're just going on a little trip, let's call it.”
The Medical head was then gagged and dragged to a holding cell. After the Medical was taken out the Defense head walks out of the tent. When he does he sees the aid standing there concerned.
Before the aid could talk the Defense head says while smiling “Perfect, you are just who I was looking for. Can you get me the doctor under the Medical head and send him here?”
The aid just nods responding “Yes, sure.”
The Defense head says “Splendid” before turning around and going right back into the tent.
After this the aid is still standing there piecing together an idea of what might have happened, to which he runs off as to not follow the same fate.
With the Chief and the investigation head, their army was setting up camp after a day of marching. In the Chief’s tent the 2 were talking about the plans for the next few days.
This text was taken from Royal Road. Help the author by reading the original version there.
“We should arrive around nightfall and from there we can set up camp. Then at first light we can then scout and attack, however food might become tight for the return trip if we go with that plan.”
To this the Investigation head said “I don’t think we need to wait until first light. My team should be able to scout it out with the last of the light, so we can launch a night attack, Chief.”
The Chief sits back in his chair thinking. After a few moments he says “I like it, but I think we should inform the men to ration their food either way.”
To this the Investigation head nods “I will tell them right away. Do you want me to inform them of the plan of attack for tomorrow,Chief?”
The Chief shakes his head “I will inform everyone of the plan while you and your squad is scouting, however you should inform your squad of your scouting plan.”
The Investigation head responds “Yes, Chief” and walks out.
After this the Chief looks up and mutters “ I wonder how my base is doing?” Before heading out to check on the camp set up.
Jace wakes up to a small pain in his stitches. ‘Man this sucks, which reminds me, how long until I need to go get these stitches taken out?’
Jace starts counting the days since Steve told him a week. ‘Looks like it has been 5 days, which means that I have 2 days left till Steve told me to get there, which is also the perfect amount of travel time’.
Jace now knowing what he needs to do gets everything packed. This causes Reaper to start chirping and tilting his head. “You wondering why I am going back to the place that attacked me, bud?”
Reaper shakes his head yes. Jace says “Well what choice do I really have? I feel I am not good enough to take them out myself, whereas Steve can take them out easily. Also, with my Cloak of Nothing I can get in and out without worrying.”
Jace and Reaper then set out on a trip that will affect Jace for the rest of his life.
At the demon base all of the demons wake up to begin work with less sleep than normal after there increase of working time. That was expected however what they saw at the temporary medical tent wasn’t normal.
At the temporary medical tent, men were coming out and heading to work. This starts questions to travel through the demon base, which were answered very quickly by the people that saw and heard the event that night.
“Did you hear?” a demon asks his friend beside him at breakfast “Hear what?” the friend responds. “The Medical head was sent to the holding cell.”
“Really do you know what for?”
The friend responds “It was said that the Medical and Defense heads had an argument. Everyone suspects that it has something to do with the men from the medical tent working.”
“I see” The friend responded as the Defense head passed in front of them causing them to stop their conversation and watch him.
The Defense head then, contrary to everyone's expectations, walks past the temporary medical tent and continues on his way. After he leaves everyone starts there conversations again, this time not mentioning about the Defense head.
This was in fear that he would return, and overhear. Which would cause them to be punished like the Medical head.
Back with the Captain and Charlie they enter into a room underneath the school. This room is filled with sounds of sparking and the occasional hammering, as well as there are parts of machines thrown everywhere.
After walking carefully they arrive at their destination in the room. When they do, the Captain immediately asks, pulling out his plan “Do you think you could do it?”
