Chapter 197: A Voice in the Wind

The Empress continued to tail the Exoskeleton. More and more, the Empress grew more and more impressed with the skills of this soldier.

"This could be an Elite… Who are these people? And how have they planted such skillful hands within our kingdom?" The Empress wondered.

The Exoskeleton that the Empress continued to tail started to move faster and faster.

Suddenly, the Exoskeleton started to move quickly. The state of his movements no longer was the confused, lost soldier who was caught up in the strange wind around him and would occasionally snipe his enemies. This time, the Exoskeleton moved on a single direction. He even moved as if he was rushing off to a specific predetermined location.

The Empress smiled and followed the soldier.

Soon another Exoskeleton emerged from another platform, and both met each other.

"Well? How was it? I got around sixteen Exoskeletons. Those teams started to panic. Idiots." The voice of a woman called out to the other.

"Sixteen?" For some odd reason, the Exoskeleton that the Empress followed had a shaken voice.

"What's wrong?"

"I got… thirty-seven." An embarrassed voice replied.

There was silence for a few seconds as the woman didn't immediately answer.

The Empress had already listened in to the transmissions between the two as she hacked their communicator.

"Send some Golems here. I found two of those traitors." The Empress called out to the Emperor.

The Emperor continued to reveal himself as he stood on top of what appeared to be a hovering throne. The Rule that the Empress once rode had attached itself to the Rule that the Emperor rode. The two Rules transformed into a large floating throne.

"I'm on it." The Emperor answered.

Unbeknownst to him, Grant Hermes had a change of expression. He faked a retreat as he allowed several blasts to hit him nearly.

"Boys. We need to cause a ruckus. We can't let them catch those traitors just yet. The best scenario is if we can catch the WGP's traitors. Get down and stay hidden. I need to use it." Grant ordered as he continued to retreat.

"You need to use that? But Boss! It's still pretty early! You're stamina!"

"Don't worry, Austin. I can still do one more after that." Grant laughed.

Grant moved higher and higher as he prepared for the final blow. The Four winds rushed down and searched for a safe place to hide.

It was then that a strange voice called out to Grant and the Four Winds.

"So this is the Wind Whisperer. Are you going to use Air Cannon? I suggest you don't use it yet. You might harm my little friends. And if you do that, you can never get the Wind Progenitor's Seed." A calm voice spoke.

Hermes frowned and used his powers to sense out the winds that created the channel. However,

"You won't be able to detect me, Grant. Your move. We both will have our hands full if the Emperors use another Invoking. Get them to use it. We'll fight over the Progenitor's Seed once we're done."

The Four Winds, along with Grant was stunned at the words that echoed around them.

The Wind Whisperer was a channel that, theoretically, anyone can use and piggyback on. But it was so mysterious and precise that the sounds that travel through this channel were almost impossible to detect. The loud noises of the blowing wind had masked the voices that move around it. Yet someone had found a way and talked to them through it.

"Who are you?" Grant asked in a low voice.

Even the Four Winds knew that this was the first time their Boss felt threatened.

"Your ally. Just think of me as a voice in the wind. Of course, you probably won't believe me. So let's have some fun. I'll save you if you need it. But for now, unless you want me to interfere with you personally, don't use Air Cannon. Direct your winds to cause mass destruction to force the Emperors to make a Second Invoking."

"Your allies are in danger," Grant argued.

"Your daughter is with them. Not to mention, we made an elaborate plan to trick Lilibeth to find my friends." The mysterious voice laughed.

"Lilibeth?"

"One of your peers. Another of the Progenitor's seed. One of my allies is also a seed. You could say, I am too. A future seed, if I were to introduce myself." The voice laughed.

"You would know that the Progenitor prohibited-"

"Our enemies are already here. It's time to unite. In fact, they might make an appearance right now. I am using this opportunity to gather as most seeds as I can so that the enemy, the Aragarians would appear."

"You're the one behind all this?"

"Yes?"

"Is the Wind seed real?"

"The Wind seed in itself is not real."

Grant grew angry.

"But something far better than the Wind Seed is here. Something that would cause the plants to grow in the garden. Your seed will soon bloom too. Regardless, I know you won't believe me. So I'll announce it right now. We'll beat you and spare you and your friends to prove that our intentions are real." The Voice vanished.

"Boss?" Omricon asked.

"Assume the Galilean formation." Grant gave the code word.

"As you order." The Four Winds chorused as they assumed the formation.

The Four Winds flew towards the location where Grant was flying. All four flew and chased after Hermes.

"I, Jupiter, grant upon you, the Four Winds of Hermes."

And there, a miracle once more occurred.

Grant Hermes controlled the winds. But an even unbelievable science took place. He commanded the winds and have allotted sentience on the winds around him.

Of those who received their blessings from the Progenitor, the family line of Stavius Jupiter, a survivor of the Third World War, received the most detailed and secretive science. It was such an unbelievable science that it pushed Canada to become a superpower that even the Americas could not conquer.

And of the many sciences, only one Wind was leaked to arm Canada of a tech possibility that allowed it to stand firm.

Canadian Frost was the very bane of various technology. It did not feat the Miscellaneous techs of the Americas. Pangean weaponry was easily countered and disabled as Eradication technology could not corrode when the very molecules are robbed from its ability to move.

The Chilling Wind blew. Riding this sentient wind, was Austin. Everything within ten meters around him would be subjected to an incredible frost.

Austin was the first to move and charged towards the turrets. The Frost blew into the towers and froze various parts of the torrents making it unable to shoot.

The Exoskeletons and Armors nearby suffered the same fate as the invading coldness affected the pilots. The Wind seeped into their body as if it aimed to freeze their bones.

The bone-chilling sensation slowed them down.

On the palm of Austin was an ice shaped sickle that Austin would use to curt around the soldiers nearby.

The sickle wouldn't cut anything but would cause the entire Exoskeleton or Armor to freeze.

Another of the Four also moved, shortly following the sudden attack of Austin.

The Blowing Wind blew. Riding this sentient wind was Alvin. He rode a mighty squall that gave a tremendous force, pushing even the Armors backward.

Alvin lifted his fist as he delivered a right hook towards an Armor that he was approaching.

The strong wind gathered together and aimed for the head of the Armor.

CRASH!

The wind was compressed to a single point. It caused a powerful impact as if a gigantic sledgehammer was slammed on the Armor's head. The crashing force caused the Armor to fall with part of its face damaged from the impact.

The Cutting Wind blew. Riding this sentient wind was Omricon. He disappeared as the wind pushed him with unbelievable speed.

The Rule suddenly closed on its own as it detected a powerful attack approaching.

BOOM!

The Rule was thrown away once more as the Emperor staggered from the sudden impact.

"AGH!" The Emperor cried as he was thrown off and fell back on his feet.

He was far from the enemy, but the sudden arrival only meant that the weapon that shot it down traveled faster than the sound speed.

A small gash could be seen on the outside of the Rule.

The surprised Emperor could not believe the alerts that the Rule made indicating the damage it received.

"What? The Rule got damaged?!"

The Emperor cursed and searched for the enemy. But he was surprised to see a peculiar scene. An entire Armor that stood more than fifteen meters tall was split in half. The cut was made on the Armor's waist. Without the boosters' support, the Armor's legs fell. The Rule was able to discern and capture a split-second video of what caused the attack.

A figure of a human was floating in midair. It looked like it used something to attack the halved Armor. Then the figure moved again, disappearing from the screen of the Rule's video.

Several Exoskeletons and turrets were being cut by a strange force when the figure disappeared.

"Admiral! Focus all firepower here! Chase the winds! It is the enemy itself! Use motion detectors!" The Emperor immediately commanded.

"As you command!" The Admiral rushed off to fight the three flickering figures that left devastation after devastation.

The Admiral wore one of the most advanced Armors, the Titans.

Behind him were the most potent Exoskeletons in all warfare.

The Goliaths had thicker armors but moved at Jet-level speed.

They all moved out and started shooting. Each of them was equipped with a powerful plasma gun and began to shoot at the winds. As the winds around the Kraken had decreased, rapid motion detectors were now being used.

As New Great Britain's tech improved, their storms could actually distort many detection systems. The raindrops were colder distorting thermal scans, the wind was designed to be more compact and could imitate the motions that Exoskeletons and other military units used when traveling. The darkness of the clouds was intentionally thicker to blot out any light so that even in the middle of the day, those inside the storm would think it was night.

But now the Force field blocked most of the wind. After dissipating his Winds, the three soldiers could soon be detected and was targeted by the WGP forces.

None of the enemies noticed a man walking casually at the hull of the Kraken. And the wind in the platform that he stealthily moved around in no longer had any air in it. Some of the soldiers who didn't have any breathing apparatus or had their Armors and Exoskeletons damaged immediately died because they could not breathe.

Right in the middle of that Platform, the air continued to gather and compressed itself into a vacuum. The air was so densely packed that it was even visible as a tornado, all clumped up like a ball surrounded the final wind.

But no soldier could spare the time to look for the forth who was hidden and was silently drawing all winds towards his position. The Emperor gazed with indifference as the enemies continued to cut down, freeze, and smash his forces. Soon, an annoyed expression was slowly leaking out.

"Empress. I will be using a more direct and aggressive use of the Automatons. These guys are starting to irritate me."

"Go ahead. The second phase of the Call of Automatons should shock and make them think we've brought out all our cards. The Golems need to hurry. It seems that they are about to make contact with their other members."

"Can't you just capture them yourself?"

"I want to know how capable these spies are. The skills that these two have shown is already outstanding. They have the potential to become an Elite."

The Empress continued to follow the two and detected the Golems approaching.

"Don't attack yet. I want you to attack them when they find their friends. Also, don't attack them in surprise. I want you to attack them after making them aware of your presence."

"You want us to test their capabilities, Empress?" A voice responded.

"Yes."

"As you will."

Soon the two Exoskeletons met up with a team of various individuals. These individuals wore strange Exoskeletons that did not match any of the currently known technologies.

"Tell your windy enemy that we found the technology that he was searching. It may be a little battered up, though. But inform him that we will give it to him shortly." The Empress ordered.

"So, the traitors stole it?" The other Emperor replied.

"It would seem so. The traitors might have stolen it to force us to fight these enemies approaching the Kraken. In short, they stole it to make them attack and wage war against us."

"Since when has the WGP become a tool to make others weak?" The Emperor was angered at the analysis of the Empress.

"Regardless, we have to know more about these organizations that exist behind the shadows. We've always known that there would be rats in our world. But these rats are humungous and could even pose a threat. For now, let's use them against each other."

The two Exoskeletons met up with their team.

"Good Job. Roselyn, Stanley. The chaos you created with those alerts drew the enemies away."

Roselyn and Stanley revealed their faces as they allowed the visor of the Exoskeleton to open up.

Both gave a stoic nod to Tyler. But Roselyn's expression looked frustrated.

"Why did I limit my kills?" She mumbled as she gave Stanley a strange look.

Stanley could not help but cower his head deeper into the Exoskeleton like a turtle hiding for cover.

"We had minimal fighting. How was it for you, General?" Tyler turned to Cliff.

"That Overcomer wasn't as weak as our little leader described," Cliff complained.

"Here's your suit. Were you expecting that Overcomer to be weaker?"

"Not really. I knew it would be something like this. Where are they? The faster they arrive, the easier it will be for us. Only they can face off with that monster." Cliff cursed.

"We had to flee with all our might! It's very annoying." Gardo laughed.

Titan immediately rushed to wear his suit. He was the only member of the Covenant that didn't wear an Exoskeleton but wore a specialized suit. It looked like an ordinary soldier's Armor. Danny, Dara, and John each wore an Exoskeleton that had different shapes, forms, and weapons.

Dara had a tall and thick plated Exoskeleton. Danny wore a medium-sized one with a large sword. John wore an even thinner one, and a long rifle was worn on his back. All their Exoskeletons had a dull grey coat that made it look like it was a prototype.

Cliff stopped complaining and wore the suit that was prepared for him. The specialized boots and shoulder boosters were also in place.

"This is my team. Let me-"

"Enemies." Titan immediately alerted everyone as he senses the presence of several men.

Cliff gazed at the direction that Titan pointed to.

"What kind of language is that? It was like a screeching sound?" The first person asked. He wore a clown's attire. He had the full makeup, the hair, and even the nose.

"I have no idea. Must be some form of code." The second man answered. He wore a dark tuxedo with matching shades and expensive watches. He also carried with him a large briefcase.

"Let's get this over with. I'm sure they are finished wearing their battle outfit. They choose quite a place. This was where the first EMP exploded?" The third man was a large burly man with a woodcutter. He appeared to an ancient timber.

"Yeah. It looks like it. We should try to cut off their escape path." The clown answered.

Titan turned to John.

"Are they… robots?"

"Looks like it. It seems they only made themselves look like a human."

"Like those robots in that time-traveling science fiction film?" Cliff asked.

Everyone then prepared for battle.

"I see. This must be another application of Origin power. They found a way to awaken liquid metals and make it alive. We best be careful. Team, support everyone else here. This is going to be a battle, unlike any other." Gardo warned his team.

"Shall we fight General?" Tyler asked.

"Three robots of unknown power, huh? Covenant. You're up." Cliff ordered.

"With pleasure." Dara grinned excitedly. Her Exoskeleton suddenly lit up as it charged towards the three strangely dressed beings.
