Chapter 1025: Operation Buzz and Boom
Erik, June, and the Chimaeric Demons crouched in the bushes. Their eyes were on the enemy docks below.
The group was ready to spring into action. The plan was to infiltrate the area and steal a warship.
That was their ticket to crossing the sea and reach Hin, where the blackguards had their base.
However, before they could make their move, three critical tasks needed to be completed, of which Erik had to take care of two.
First, they had to gain the information needed to operate the warship and use its advanced defense systems. Without this knowledge, even if they stole the vessel, they would be rendered helpless in the open waters.
Sure, there was always the chance for the Chimaeric Demons shapeshifting into some kind of sea thaid. But that was if their ship didn't get ripped open by one of them before they could do
so.
Erik knew nothing about fighting in open water. Damn, he knew nothing about fighting in water at all. This meant the Chimaeric Demons were in the same situation, and that was problematic, almost in the same way of them having to cross the ocean from the sky, where they could be easily spotted by the enemy, and that was if flying thaids didn't spot them first. There was a limit to what Erik could do against them, especially if they were as strong as the bird that made its nest on the Eldraith mountain range.
Second, and equally crucial, was the need to sabotage the enemy's communication system. By disrupting their communication system, the group could prevent the enemy from alerting other ships at sea and coordinating an attack against them.
That needed to be done with a different virus, and that was because, if they first got found out, they would lose a great advantage.
Besides, Erik planned on planting just a local virus so that the enemy wouldn't suspect there was another one in their general system.
Both of these tasks had to be made by Erik. The first was simple, since the young man just had to inject this information into his brain.
The second was slightly harder, or, to be correct, longer. Erik made the system create a virus that would control these whole docks.
This would prevent the usage of any device and prevent Hinian troops from sending information about the stolen ship to the others.
The last and third task they had to accomplish, the one the Chimaeric Demons were in charge of, was to ensure the ships currently docked at the harbor were destroyed or rendered unusable, preventing immediate chase. All of this was aside from the central task, which was to steal one of the ships.
Everyone was waiting for Erik's orders.
With a nod from Erik, the group closed their eyes and focused their mana, channeling it through their neural links.
In a matter of seconds, their bodies shrank, their shapes morphing into those of small, inconspicuous flies.
Erik and June took to the air, buzzing towards the command center, while the Chimaeric Demons spread out.
As they flew, Erik and June navigated through the docks' sky, their wings propelling them forward with surprising speed.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
They went past guards, unnoticed, also thanks to the bustle of the docks. The command center stood ahead.
Meanwhile, the Chimaeric Demons zipped around, heading towards their targets. Some headed for the fuel barrels that were being loaded onto the ships, while others sought the ships' engines, aiming to disable them from within.
The Chimaeric Demons landed on the ships' decks, scurrying into crevices and vents, searching for something they could exploit.
Once inside, they prepared and waited for Erik's signal.
Erik and June approached the command center. They flew through an open window, and inside, they were greeted by the sight of many officers and soldiers hunched over consoles and screens displaying various data streams.
The malicious code wormed its way through the enemy's systems, latching onto every single device there. Erik wanted the biological supercomputer to be through and leave nothing to
chance.
preparations.> Erik closed his compound eyes, or at least did something that was equivalent to that, and activated his instability brain crystal power. Instantly, his mind expanded, reaching out through mana to search for his clones' minds. His consciousness connected with theirs, each clone's thoughts and status becoming clear to him. ready for transport.> for departure.> Erik and June left the command center and headed for the ship. Soon after, they arrived on top of the deck. Erik was thinking about the plan. He was still in time to stop everything. The best thing would have been to steal the ship when it was already crossing the sea; the problem was that this was a tremendous opportunity to destroy the enemy fleet, or at least part of it. Destroying so many ships was going to create huge trouble for Hin and help Frant's forces. Reinforces would be able to only come from Etrium, and that would not be as fast as with a ship since the mercenaries needed to come here on foot. In the end, he decided the best thing to do would be to go on with the plan. The vessel moved on the water. Multiple explosions then rang out in the area, shattering the stillness. The blasts echoed through the docks, causing confusion and even panic among the enemy soldiers. People scrambled for cover, unsure of where the next explosion might occur. The air was thick with smoke and the smell of burning materials, making it difficult to breathe. Emergency services were quickly dispatched to the scene, but the situation remained tense and dangerous.
