Chapter 1011: The enemy’s plans for an attack it won\'t ever happen
"Once we finish unloading the shipments, we\'ll be ready to launch an attack on the enemy base," one of the blackguards, a male, said.
"What about the mechas? When are they scheduled to arrive?"
"They\'ll be the last to come," the male blackguard said. "We\'re expecting them within a week. With their firepower, those fuckers won\'t stand a chance."
<Ah... That\'s all this is about, uh?>
The enemy was gearing up for a big offensive and was organizing their forces to complete it. The mechas could really mess things up for his clones in this area.
<Well, they can heal themselves, so I doubt many of them might die. But the blackguards can still destroy the base.>
This meant the Chimaeric Demons had to rethink their plans and come up with some countermeasures to make sure they could handle the attack. That was, of course, if they made such an attack, which Erik had no intention of letting happen.
If the Mechas were not here yet, then there was still time.
<Damn, I really need to steal the schematics for the brain crystal technology.>
The female blackguard studied the map spread out on the table. "What about our supply lines? We\'ll need a steady flow of resources to keep the mechas and our troops operational during the assault."
"We\'ve secured multiple transport routes through the forest. Our convoys will be heavily guarded, and we\'ve set up checkpoints along the way to ensure the safety of our supplies."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
"Good," the female blackguard said. "And the terrain? Have we accounted for any potential obstacles or choke points?"
The male blackguard pointed to several marked locations on the map. "Our scouts have identified the key areas of concern. We\'ll be deploying specialized units to clear any obstructions and secure strategic positions before the primary force arrives."
The female blackguard nodded, a smile tugging at the corners of her mouth. "Excellent. It looks like we\'ve covered all our bases. These fuckers won\'t know what hit them."
"Indeed," the male blackguard agreed.
"Make sure everything is ready and operational. Is this clear?"
"Yes, sir. We\'ll double-check every detail and make sure our troops have what they need."

The conversation between the two continued, and Erik, having heard enough, decided it was time to leave. The base was a slight disappointment, because it was clear these guys knew little aside from this sector\'s operation.
<That should be the blackguards way to prevent me from getting information that might mess up the entire war.>
The problem, for them at least, was that they sided with Hin and Etrium, and they... Well, they didn\'t have the resources the blackguards had, so Erik was bound to pierce their information network. It was just wouldn\'t happen in a blackguard controlled base.
Erik went his way back through the cave\'s tunnels and past the barrier, eventually reaching the cave entrance.
Once outside, Erik reached for his lovers and transformed back into his human form. His naked body materialized.
June handed him the clothes, and he dressed. The girls already saw him naked several times, and the Chimaeric Demons-well, they were his clones. They basically saw him naked each time they went to the toilet, so no one was surprised.
Though Emily was new to all of this, her relationship with Erik didn\'t start for a long time, and she was slightly embarrassed.
"They\'re planning to attack the Chimaeric Demons\' base as soon as they finish unloading the shipments," Erik said, without wasting time.
"And they have mechas coming in a week to bolster their forces."
The group exchanged worried glances. "This is a problem. Technology is already becoming better and better at killing thaids and people. Rifles were already a big concern, but with Mechas, now."
"Well, it\'s not like it will be different from what happened in New Alexandria," Amber said. "Yes, but the Chimaeric Demons won\'t have buildings protecting them now, and besides, there are many more troops compared to the situation back then." Mira said.
"We need to warn the others. The Chimaeric Demons must be prepared for what\'s coming. Even better if they can get advantage of the situation, and I already have a couple of ideas on how to do it, so they will be able to do the same."
One of the clones accompanying them stepped forward. "Master, allow us to deliver the warning and tell them about the place. We can reach the base quickly by flying and ensure they have time to prepare and move."
Erik nodded. "Yes, but only one of you should go. We need the others here."
"Why aren\'t we going back with them? Shouldn\'t we all regroup and face this threat
together?" Emily asked.
Erik shook his head, a small smile playing on his lips. "The information we\'ve gathered is everything the clones need to take over this base and use it to their advantage. They have the strength and numbers to handle it, while the blackguards don\'t until they get the new troops and equipment."
He paused, his gaze sweeping over the group. "Besides, we don\'t have time to lose, and I have another plan to help them. I\'m going to create some new Chimaeric Demon eggs to bolster our forces here. It won\'t be much, but they will be stronger than the clones stationed here." Erik turned to look at the Chimaeric Demons. "Tell them where the eggs will be," Erik pointed east.
"There is a clearing around these parts. I saw it on the blackguards\' maps. Tell them they will be there, hidden in a wooden building I will make. They will know what to search for."
The Chimaeric Demons nodded.
"Yes, sir."
The Chimaeric Demons, after a quick chat, figured out who had to do the job. Erik, who was watching the whole thing, went up to the guy right after the decision.
"Be safe," Erik said. "We will wait for you at the designated spot."
"Yes, master. Just give me an hour and I will be back," the Chimaeric Demon said.
He then nodded. With a final salute, it transformed into a flying thaid and took to the skies.
Erik turned to the others. "We have work to do. Let\'s not waste more time. We also have to disrupt the supply line, so we will waste more time, and we already wasted enough here," he
said.
"Yes."
"Ok."
The remaining clones transformed into their thaid forms, their bodies shifting and changing. As they got a suitable form to act as mounts, Mira, Amber, and Emily wasted no time jumping onto the backs of the transformed clones.
Erik, opting to travel on foot, led the way as they all headed towards the designated spot.
