Chapter 299 - 299: Changing Battlefield

"Good. Everything seems normal. You’ll be perfectly fine in a few days. Just rest here in the meantime. You aren’t allowed to leave the room," Cail said. "I’m changing the Medicine and adding your diet to the schedule. Do you have any preference in what you’d like to eat?"

"That’s not the answer to my question. I asked you to call Ayn and Varant," Xander firmly stated.

"I can’t call them here. They aren’t at the base. I’ll tell them when they come back," Cail replied as he turned around.

"What are you hiding? I can feel something is wrong. Tell me what happened!" Xander said sharply. Even though Cail’s words didn’t show it, he was able to feel that something was wrong here.

"You just woke up. Get well fast. And then I’ll tell you," Cail said, shaking his head.

"Cail, I’m telling you last time. Tell me the truth! What happened after that day? And where are Varant and Ayn? Where did they go!" Xander yelled.

" Calm down! You’ll burn this whole place accidentally if this goes on!" Cail scolded Xander as he felt the temperature going up.

Even after his scolding, it didn’t stop.

"Fine! I’ll tell you!" Cail ultimately said, giving up. "I’ll tell you where they are!"

"That’s better," Xander said, calming down.

"Nothing happened after you were injured that day. The enemies left. That was all. But something did happen a few days ago," Cail added.

"What happened?"

"The Beta Squad went out on a mission, and it seems like they were attacked. A lot of the members were killed, and Ayn had been missing since then," Cail explained.

"Ayn is missing?!" Xander exclaimed, stunned.

"That’s right. She is missing. Just this morning, Varant left the base, taking almost everyone as if going for a war. I think they found the whereabouts of Ayn," Cail further added.

"War? So much happened while I was sleeping? Who attacked Ayn? Was it the Uprising? What happened to Lucifer after the battle with me? Was he involved?" Xander inquired.

"Lucifer disappeared after a battle with you. I don’t think he was ever seen again. The search still continued. As for who attacked Beta Squad, I have no idea about it. I don’t get that much information here. I’m just a doctor, after all. But if I were to guess, I would say that it was indeed the work of Variant Uprising," Cail replied.

"I need to join Varant. Who is currently incharge of the base?"

"Join Varant? To do what? Roll on the mud in front of him? You can’t even walk at the moment! Instead of being an idiot, stay here and get back to your normal self. Help yourself first if you want to help others!"

"But...’

The back and forth between Cail and Xander continued as Xander kept insisting on joining the mission as fast as he could while Cail kept trying to persuade him not to be stupid.

...

The Sun had started setting as tens of helicopters entered the airspace of Kensington City.

They were given the coordinates of the mansion by Raia, which made it a lot easier for them to find this place. All the helicopters landed on the ground outside the Estate.

" This is the place, huh. Not bad," Dion commented as he pushed the gates of the Estate. There was no guard taking care of the Mansion as Lucifer had already told the guard to leave, knowing guests were about to come.

The guard had left the city along with the other citizens.

Raia and Lucifer already stood at the entrance of the Mansion, already anticipating them.

A huge crowd of Variants stepped inside the premises of the Estate, seeming to be in the hundreds.

"That’s why I said that this Mansion shouldn’t be enough for everyone," Raia told Lucifer, smirking.

He also stepped towards the Variants and met up with them, including his own level five team members.

Only the level five members were allowed to stay in the mansion as for the others; they were told to take shelter in other houses of the city that were empty now.

But before that, a proper planning session was commenced by Raia, which was attended by Lucifer and Cassius as well.

Raia informed everyone of their role in the war and how they needed to get an advantage against the enemy.

"We have the element of surprise as the enemies won’t be expecting this. So we must utilize that to the fullest. The first attack needs to be a direct hit to damage them as much as possible."

" No need to stick by the rules! We have the entire night to turn this city into something that would be like our home turf. So no one can relax tonight! Understood?" Raia asked.

"Yes!" All the Variants shouted in unison. And thus, everyone got to preparation.

The entire night passed in preparation as the Variants modified the battlefield according to the plan.

Even their own helicopters were arranged in such a way so that they could intercept and attack the enemies as soon as they came without giving them a chance.

It was two in the night when the work was finished, and the Variants finally went to rest.

Lucifer, on the other hand, didn’t bother with this. He had already fallen asleep hours ago. He left all the preparation to the Variant Uprising.

He was only interested in the end goal, not how it was achieved.

....

Soon, the night passed away as the first ray of sun fell in the city of Kensington.

Everyone got up at six in the morning.

According to the information by the spies that were placed in various cities, information was received about the movements of helicopters towards Kensington.

According to that information, it was assumed that within a few hours, the APF was going to be here.

All the Variant Uprising members took their position in wait.

As for Lucifer, he stood on the roof of the Welling Estate, looking at all the other Variants getting prepared for the battle.

Cassius was the only person who was sitting beside him.

" What are you thinking about?" Cassius asked Lucifer.

"I’m thinking about tomorrow. How beautiful the day is going to be without all this commotion," Lucifer muttered.

" You think the war will be over in a day?" Cassius asked, smiling wryly. "I don’t think it’ll be over so soon."

"I believe it’ll be over faster than we expect. No side would retreat this time," Lucifer replied. "Who knows, it might also be over within a few hours."

"What if it doesn’t go according to the plan? What if Raia and Varant didn’t kill each other?’ Cassius asked.
