Chapter 2645 Halting The Shelter Project
This was the quickest Craig had given an order to his subordinates, and it was also one that he wanted to give out the most.
His men acted on it the moment they received the order.
“Also, stop the construction of Shelter immediately. We have to cut back our losses as much as possible. Get Gary here immediately. Go quickly!”
The order soon reached the frontline.
The soldiers standing guard had not gotten any sleep over the past few days.
They had been tense all this time, waiting for another battle to happen.
But it never came. Instead, an order to withdraw arrived.
“That’s wonderful! We won!”
“Let’s leave now!”
Everyone was cheering and celebrating at the good news.
They were all relieved having received the results.
They sang their hearts out as they left the place.
It was quite a sight to see the soldiers leaving the coastline together.
It also meant that Erudia had succeeded.
The citizens cheered as they need not continue to live in constant fear.
The soldiers retreated so fast that it had only taken a few hours for the coastline to clear up.
Nothing was left.
They were so quick that everyone had named it “the speed of Erudia.”
However, Death Fiend, Daxon, and a few others were not happy to receive the news.
This is a threat!
They retreated too quickly.
After all, Levi had once said that the Warmachines were incredibly strong, and he was concerned about them.
Even someone as strong as him was worried.
It could only mean that they were immensely powerful.
Yet, now that Erudia had withdrawn such a strong defense barrier, it meant that the Warmachines could enter any time.
But they were not the decision-makers.
Due to this, they couldn’t stop something like this from happening.
Previously, Craig would have listened to other opinions and had a discussion on what they should do.
However, they said nothing when they got the results and had immediately given the order to withdraw the defense barrier.
They regarded the results highly.
None of them would believe anything Levi or the others’ words when there was indisputable evidence before them.
“What should we do?”
Daxon and the others had no idea what to do.
“It looks like we’ll have to observe how things go for now. We’ll get ready in advance if we notice anything weird. We’ll also wait for Mr. Garrison’s return. Let’s just hope that nothing happens during this period of time.”
At Dragonites’ training base, Gary sat alone, his face pale as a sheet while everyone else had delightful grins on their faces.
He had no choice but to stop the construction of Shelter having received news of the results.
After all, he had lost the bet with everyone else.
Levi’s prediction was wrong.
There was no point in having Shelter anymore.
Why should they continue its construction when it was only causing them losses?
“You should be happy at a time like this, Gary. Erudia is free of danger now! Besides, we managed to cut back on our losses too. It’s great news!”
Everyone chimed in endlessly.
Hearing that, the man could only force a smile and say, “Of course, I’m happy that Erudia is safe now. But I have a bad feeling about this. It’s like something is about to happen soon. Moreover, we’ve already built half of the shelters too. What a waste…”
“As the leaders of Erudia, it’s great that you and Crown King are thinking ahead for everyone’s sake. However, you have to respect the facts. We were able to stop this disaster and we have even found the origin of it. Now that we’ve gotten rid of our problem’s origin, we don’t have to worry about it happening again,” Craig said.
“Fine. All right. I’ll give up on the Shelter project and listen to whatever you say now,” the former said.
“Great. Then give out the order to stop the project and recall everyone. Return all the resources provided, such as the machinery. As for the materials that weren’t used, you’ll have to sell them to reduce our losses. Especially the materials we exchanged with what we got from the National Treasury. We have to sell them no matter what.”
At that, Dragonites immediately gave out the order to stop the Shelter project.
Those involved in the project flew into an uproar upon receiving the order.
