Chapter 2639 Another Powerful Enemy Approaches
“Yeah! They are actually kind of weak, to be honest. We didn’t need to send out this many fighters!”
“Warmachines are just weaklings to the fighters in The Cardinal Hall. Deploying them feels insulting.”
“This is way different from what Levi described! Why would we need to build a wall for this? Who in the right mind would suggest something like that?”
“We should probably stop building those shelters! It’d be a waste of resources! Tell Gary to stop the project for it’s a waste of their time!”
“It would be a huge loss for us if we actually listened to Levi and utilized all resources to build a wall around the nation! The entirety of Erudia’s resource for this? What a joke!”
“Let’s not listen to him the next time news like this pops up! Yes, he found out about it ahead of time. I’ll give him that. But think about it, we would’ve been fine either way! We would have similar results just from reacting to the situation on the fly!”
“True! With Dragonites’ capabilities, the results would most likely be the same. The battle would have taken an hour longer at most!”
…
After their victory, everyone started complaining about Levi and his hilariously illogical description of the Warmachines.
They laughed at how exaggerated it was and how unnecessary his plans were.
It was true that Warmachines were terrifying, but Craig and the others did not consider them to be a threat worth exerting the nation’s resources for.
It’s ridiculous!
Everyone there was talking about it, thinking that Levi was overreacting.
…
It was initially just a small group of people in the discussion, but the group gradually grew, and things got chaotic by the end of it all.
“Alright, everyone! Quiet down! Levi did all that for Erudia’s sake after all! Crown King did nothing wrong! He had always served Erudia wholeheartedly and did everything with Erudia’s best interest in mind! Besides, he predicted the Warmachines’ arrival!” Craig stated and calmed everyone down.
“He’s right!” Daxon chimed in. “Maybe Crown King had a lapse of judgment! After all, mistakes like this are not uncommon! For Erudia’s safety, I’d rather be overprepared than under, just in case.”
Hearing what Daxon said, everyone nodded.
“Indeed. It would have been great if Warmachines didn’t appear and we didn’t have to use the weapons we prepared. It could have been zero casualties.”
“I have to say, being prepared is still far better than not, but Crown King really did make a huge fuss about a trivial matter!”
“We should be complimenting him instead of blaming him! But seeing that it was a huge waste of resources, it is even now, right?”
…
The realization was a relief to everyone present, and they gradually mellowed down.
“Alright, now let’s go clean up the battlefield and check on the conditions of the injured!”
“Send word to the back end and tell them to cease all operations. Let Gary stop what he’s doing and tell him to come to us. We’ll talk to him about halting the construction of Shelters!”
Craig and the lot started giving out orders.
At that moment, Daxon actually wanted to stop them from doing that.
He figured what Levi said was right and that those shelters still had to be built since he knew how strong Levi was.
He trusted Levi’s judgment, even though things turned out a little differently from Levi’s expectations.
However, Daxon kept quiet, thinking that he had no ground to intervene.
After all, his status was on par or slightly lesser than all the leaders in front of him, so his only option was to give up.
“Alright then. Seeing that there’s nothing more for me to do here, I’ll take my leave,” Daxon said and got ready to leave with his men.
“No problem. Thanks again!”
After that, Daxon gathered his men and was about to leave before they suddenly heard a rumbling.
At the same time, everything started to shake.
The ocean surface not far from them was bubbling none stop.
“Powerful enemy invading!”
“Attention all! Powerful enemy invading!”
…
