LIGHTNOVELSTORY Chapter 360: Let's Give Them A Warm Welcome
"He's planning on sending his soldiers, our spies revealed this to us..." Tyson answered.
"Sending his soldiers? For what?"
"To capture all the people from the cities, and take them to Lockwood... I think he's planning on using them as hostages... Our spies also said he's sending five girls over, those five are vampires. Their targets are Mira, Jennifer, and Erika... He thinks if these three are removed, you'll collapse."
Michael slowly nodded, and stopped from his seat.
"That means they'll arrive tonight, send words to the spies... Ask them to back down for now... We'll be going to Lockwood, after taking care of those girls."
"Hmm... Micky, It won't be easy for the spies to leave, I suggest they remain inside the house, we'll take them with us when we rescue the commander."
"Yes..." He looked down at his phone.
"Five hours before 10:00pm, Get everyone ready." Michael turned his head to Apate.
"Show yourself."
The space tore opened, and Orthus and Chimaera walked out from it.
"You two don't need to protect Jennifer and Tyson anymore, you have a new task... Lead the underground forces, I need you inside Lockwood before Nine o'clock."
The three nodded, and disappeared from the Villa.
Tyson stared at the spot the three were standing, and turned his head Michael.
"Michael, those three... Can a Sovereign Medal 10-stars holder defeat them?"
Michael smiled and stood up. "Even a Half immortal won't be able to defeat one, let alone the three... Come on, let's get ready for our guests. Oh?!"
He stopped remembering something: "How is Clara doing? Any progress?"
"She needs the original virus, without that, there isn't any progress."
"Then we'll get it for her... What about those two?"
"Mira and Maria?"
"Yeah."
"They're in Mira's room, I think doing their homework." Jennifer answered.
"Homework?" Michael was momentarily stunned... He then smiled, and shook his head:
"I'll be back."
A Vortex appeared behind him, and without hesitation, he walked inside, disappearing from the Villa.
"What should we do?" Tyson asked with a smile, staring at Jennifer.
"Come on, I'll prepare something for you."
"Really?"
Tyson was surprised.

Whoosh!!
A Vortex appeared on a hill, 100 miles from Lockwood.
Michael walked out from it, staring at the eight figures in front of him.
"Ruler!"
The eight armored figures instantly got down on one knee.
Michael moved his gaze on the six commandments and two Origins, and nodded. "Rise."
The eight stood up.
"Are you all ready?" He asked.
Stay connected through empire
"Yes!"
The Eight answered in unison.
Michael walked past them, and stared at the City distance away, and smiled.
"Azazel, I'll make sure to wipe your trace out from this realm... Get ready, We'll be attacking in three hours... What about the people?"
"Ruler, They're all in their houses." Illusion said.
Michael nodded, and stretched forth both his hands to the side.
{Skill: Spatiokinesis activated.}
The eight took a step back...
BOOM!!
The space around Michael tore opened, and more than a hundred gateway appeared around him, all over the hill.
The next moment, Abyss Walkers walked out from the gateways, with people following behind them.
In less than three minutes, Michael vacated the whole Lockwood... A Hundred of thousands of people stood both on the hill and beneath the hill, looking around in surprise, awe, and confusion.
"Don't worry all of you, You're safe." Michael's voice boom all over the place.
He closed the gates, and pointed a finger some meters from the hill, and a gateway appeared.
"Follow that, and it'll lead you to Amerisa, where Soldiers are already waiting for you."
The people nodded, and walked towards the gateway. The Abyss Walkers helped those on the hill to the ground, and led them to the gate.
Michael stood with his hands behind his back. Watching as the People entered one at a time.
BAM!!
Reaper landed behind him, he was also in a black armor, without no helmet.
"My Lord."
He got down on one knee, bowing his head.
"Any news from the other cities?" Michael asked.
"The other four major Cities had sent soldiers, players, and all the support needed... They're transporting the People, and also keeping eyes on Azazel's forces." Reaper said.
Michael nodded. "Azazel will be expecting us tomorrow... But we'll be knocking on his doors, at 10:00pm... When he tries to use hostages... He'll be surprised."
Reaper nodded, remaining silent.
Michael frowned seeing five smoky figures flying out from the city, If it hasn't been for the [Eyes of the Abyss] he wouldn't have detected them.
He brought out his phone, and made a call.
"They are on the way... Let's give them a warm welcome."
With that said, he disconnected the call, and look down at the people, seeing the last one walking inside.
"Eight of you, Go and Assist Apate, and the others."
The eight nodded, and disappeared from the hill.
"Walkers!!"
Michael yelled at the Abyss Walkers below him... Hearing their Ruler's voice, they all looked up at the Hill.
"We'll be attacking at exactly ten o'clock, so stay low for now."
The Abyss Walkers nodded.
"Let's go, Reaper."
A Vortex opened behind them, and the two turned around; walked towards it and entered.

[Amerisa.]
[Amerisa's Military Headquarters.]
Acting Commander Celina stared at the hundreds of gateways that opened before them.
"Be on Guard."
With her word... Thousands of Players and soldiers got on guard; the soldiers aiming their rifles at the gateways.
They watched as the residents of Lockwood walked out from the gateways, one at a time.
"Stand down."
Celine raised her hand, stopping the soldiers.
"Michael did it!" Glen said in mild surprised.
"How powerful is Michael?" Kay asked, moving his gaze on the gateways.
"I don't know, but what I do know is, we're more than lucky to have him."
Celine said, and yelled at the soldiers:
"What are you all looking at?! Help them!"
With her command, all the soldiers rushed towards the people, helping the weak and elderly.
"Kay, Glen... Both of you should get ready... We're attacking the 19th cities in five hours. Prepare the copters, and any pets that's capable of flying... We are moving in 15 minutes."
"Yes!!"
The two saluted.
