Chapter 342: Demands (Bonus)
The space immediately opened up. More than a hundred people appeared in their vision. Some were injured, some were taking care of others.
The thirty people that wanted to fight the aliens were the first ones to notice.
Flora didn't bother to maintain her etiquette and just asked out loud, "Where is the supervisor—!"
Before she could finish her words, the mountain suddenly trembled heavily.
All of them were covering their heads, afraid that the mountain would collapse.
Outside the mountain, the elephant had climbed the mountain. The humanoid alien smashed the mountain with its club, causing all this tremor.
Fortunately, the earth spirit managed to use his power to reinforce the mountain. Although it wouldn't last for long, it should buy them some time.
A guy raised his hand and hurriedly rushed toward Flora. The people around him followed suit.
"I'm the supervisor, Daniel."
"I'm Flora Vietta Ezelia, the student council president of the Frexia Academy. I need you to cooperate with me right now. I have the letter from Elder Thompson." Flora looked around. "How many people are there?"
"There are a total of 160 workers. I have brought a hundred people with me."
"The number doesn't add up." She frowned.
"Yes. Fifty people have just gone down to rescue the rest."
"Tsk." Flora clicked her tongue.
Nathan immediately said, "Anubis. Treat the injured ones."
"Alright." Anubis immediately headed off.
After a brief assessment, she immediately asked, "Do you bring a summoner with you?"
"I have brought two summoners."
"What level?"
"According to their certification, they are able to fight multiple juvenile class aliens. However, they're not strong enough to challenge a mature class alien."
"Where are they?"
One person raised his hand. "I'm the summoner."
"Another one is going down with the crews." The supervisor added.
Flora's expression turned solemn. "Recall that summoner back here. I'm sure these people have told you about the situation. There are five mature class aliens outside the mine, with one of them being a mutant.
"In total, they bring over a thousand lower level aliens. That's why we have to fight back or the mature class aliens will be destroying this mountain.
"I need your summoners and all fighters to take care of the lower level aliens. Me and my team will be taking care of the mature class aliens and a large portion of the aliens."
"What?" The supervisor looked shocked. He never thought they would have to fight. "If you are from the Frexia Academy, that means you should have been warned about the situation. Why did you not bring enough people?"
Flora gnashed her teeth. They never mentioned working together like this, especially due to the earthquake. It was the fault of the Blacksmith Guild that didn't state such a thing.
While the Blacksmith Guild didn't know about the earthquake itself, it didn't change the fact that they should be held accountable.
She had brought enough people. But because of the situation, Nathan had to sacrifice himself for their sake.
She was so angry and frustrated that she grabbed the supervisor's collar and said out loud, "With my position as the First Princess of the Azilia Kingdom, I order you to comply. If not, dead!"
The supervisor was trembling, especially when Flora was exuding all that killing intent.
Even the others were scared. Flora's Ena leaked out of her body, showing that she would definitely do it.
She could easily kill this supervisor and change to a new one who would comply with her demand.
With her status, the Blacksmith Guild would definitely turn a blind eye to this.
The supervisor gulped down and turned to the right. "C-Call him back. Bring all the knights back."
"But, sir… the workers…"
"Are you kidding me? We can still save them if we move fast enough. But if this mountain is destroyed, not only those workers, but we will also die. Hurry up!"
The people couldn't say anything. In the end, the guy brought several people and headed down.
Flora took a deep breath to calm down. "I need a space for a summoning ritual. Also, I need the map and the situation report."
The supervisor turned to another guy. "Make a spot."
Sera ended up following him since she would be the one making the summoning circle.
The supervisor continued, "The situation is looking grim. There are screeching noises all around the mountain. We are assuming that there are aliens trying to break into the mountain. That's why a lot of fighters are going down. They are there in case the aliens suddenly come out of the wall.
"There are also a lot of injured people. If we try to make a run for it, I'm afraid—!"
Nathan interjected him. "Don't mind the injured people. No one is injured anymore."
"Huh?" The supervisor was confused and saw Nathan pointing at the people.
One injured guy who was bandaged all over his body suddenly stood up while shouting, "This is a miracle! I can feel my feet again. I think I can run like I'm in my prime!"
"My familiar will take care of the injured ones. And we have to kill the aliens fast in case the enemy's reinforcements are coming. When that happens, we will truly have no other choice. If we can do it fast, we can send rescuers, and my familiars will heal them. This way, more people will be saved," Nathan explained.
Flora added, "That's why I need full cooperation from all of you. The entrance is blocked, but I'm sure the aliens will be coming sooner or later. We'll set up a defensive position and kill those aliens before the situation worsens."
"Right, Map! You need the map to do it." The supervisor nodded furiously. "Ajin, go fetch the map. Mike, you gather the people and equip them with anything you can find. We'll be moving accordingly. Bring out the rock bolt and manually strengthen the rock so that it can withstand the enemy's attack a bit more."
"Got it."
However, they seemed to not have a lot of time left. Another tremor happened as a few rocks fell to the ground.
Anubis caught the nearby rocks with his bandage, but the cave itself showed a sign of collapse.
Nathan looked at the ceiling and muttered, "We don't have a lot of time. A few minutes at best…"
