Octavius Staring at the growing fortress rising larger and larger, the building rate from hundreds of men. Moving for weeks on end, cycling out and in and growing their own checks.
he Smiles "Set down the seed of the great tree." at the centre a very large circle of soil
The Seed Planted as it start to sprout. "Once it finish a cloaking field will be placed over the entire Facility." Octavius pondering who to put in charge of this base.
Eurgustine in charge of the gate base with Milcah and scarlet in charge of the Uzae Valodius "Maybe Croftclaw or Akira," he watches before nodding blurring he appears in Uzae Valodius.
Standing at the governor's office as Scarlet glances up from her desk "you look awful." her skin having gone a pale white Bags under her eyes as well.
Scarlet stare grumbling, unable to make a comeback because she was exhausted "but you pushed back the assault by the legion."
She respond "It was costly since Caustic had to turn target to the conduit." She sighs, getting up from her desk covered in a death certificate to be given to families. "how costly"
Scarle sigh "they're still counting what about the conduit." He respond "every guard was killed. The conduit was nearly. breach one guard was holding it off and he pass just before I exited."
Scarlet stare "haa." pushing her head against his chest, "it tiresome I won't be able to ask for reinforcements." He grabs her shoulder. "I should be able to send an admiral over, though it only going to be Croftclaw and his infantry legions. his specialty in recon may be helpful though."
She stares "Alright." moving to her toes. As he leans down kissing for a while before stopping. "I Should get back to processing these Death Certificates."
Octavius Nods and disappears, forming back on the conduit area. "I'll be leaving shortly. Croftclaw will take over Command of the conduit, though he not entirely dedicated to combat he will be capable of holding the Line."
They nod. "start the Production of medium production factories. We're going to provide flank force to Valodius." the soldiers nod "the tree is in its sapling state."
He Nods peering at the extension of his own body. "I should wrap it around the Conduit." the conduit itself Movable but the Tree not so much capable of adjusting it once it's grown.
The fabrication factory being produced as Riketum move to start harvesting the scrap left of the legion force Octavius facing the Conduit.
before walking back through, he calls Croftclaw "your position is being Shifted by Admiral Croftclaw. you are to move your force to defend and scout within the world of the legion's machine intelligence."
Croftclaw, slightly surprised, "are you certain you wish to send me?" Octavius responds to Croft. "You, the only option Eurgustine, is already in the gate world with Milcah Krustigar, is defending the borderline between the JSDF and empire."
He stare "the other admirals are also occupied. Be it Esdeath Or some of the few other they have their own issues and problems primarily focused here as the stability around Vuiseon is growing ever more dangerous.
"Krustigar is holding the line, though Akira being moved is likely possible." Croftclaw nods "As you wish, sir." he heads out to enter the conduit given paperwork to functionally assist him in the progress.
Octavius leans back in the Chair excited but slightly concerned Larrissa finished on her own excursion for assimilating friendly relations as if Angela just working a few deal and trade routes.
he stares out the window, watching the bellows of smoke from the production sector, the increasing number of Orcs and golems growing in the Guard Platoon.
though much more organized and running patrols existing for military class humvee just simple soldier patrols for back street or side alleys being heavy armour, making them the optimal method.
Not to mention the shock bastion armour plate adorning this humvee requiring IFF cards concealed in the armour plate with biometric registers.
Meaning only the Driver Can really initialize the humvee the other soldier protection for him and mostly the gunner using a mobile machine gun with plate shielding.
The Gunner having the heaviest armour of the bunch and often not moving from the vehicle. Their patrol route always changing and shifting to prevent bribing.
He gazes at a paper sheet. "34 female victims." A killer eluding them in a city he has complete control over. His Roots moving over. The entire Capitol.
"even I've been eluded by it." usually serial kills like this only managing to get to 6 victims before slipping up at some point, but this one Managing to get 34.
Tipping his attention from building a stronger army to eventually take over Zenit. To organizing this matter "I doubt it just one. Person Maybe a duo."
He grimaces. "All female victims, though." That conclusively why they have found nothing about the specials operations of the guard on active investigation, he looks through the photos of the 34 women.
the only tangible similarity being the fact each is well fit and athletic, some even part of the guard making this a chief priority "slender but athletic build with curvaceous physiques"
he searches the imagines of each for any other tangible reasons, narrowing his gaze to detail of each of them having a somewhat difficult financial position but not bad most well off.
"hmm Aki forming behind his back. "hmm what got your attention so well." he doesn't turn, just speaks. "34 female victims, the serial killer that seemingly just efficiently kills them."
"it's odd." Aki wrapping her arms around him. "usually when you're a killer, you have a signature method or have a reason for it."
"for instance, most serial kill by some extent or another have one Gorey habit being it slowly cutting their living victim eating them Or other all serial killer usually have something twisted they do but this one just kill and leaves Not even doing anything more."
Aki staring equally confused "not even a sexually assault traces." he shakes his head. "Nothing. No trace amount not reson just killed most often with a sharp piercing blow to the temple. Just efficient, and these aren't women of immense status or common assassination targets.
"That is weird."
