Chapter 406 Judgment Day [Part 3] The Broodmother didn't expect that its well-laid-out ambush that was supposed to decimate the enemy forces the moment they advanced would completely fall into ruin. Their plan was perfect and had no gaps. After the Wanderers advanced at its position, the Wolf King would attack them from behind with a pincer attack, giving their enemies no path of escape. The remnants of the deceased Manticore King would then join this assault, immediately doubling their land forces. But that wasn't all. The Centipede King and its Centipede Army would kill any survivors who managed to escape and completely wipe them out. After that, the Wyvern King, who would arrive next, would wipe out all their enemies' flying forces, completely decimating their ranks. The Death Lord wouldn't even need to do anything and simply watch from afar. This was the plan that they had agreed upon, and they thought that, with it, they could wipe out the humans who still dreamed of reclaiming their lands. However, their expectations didn't match reality. Seeing its subordinates die around it, the Broodmother couldn't help but screech in anger. On top of that, its reinforcements from the Wolf King were nowhere to be found. "Foolish monster…" Thirteen said arrogantly as he lightly tapped on the projection in front of him. "Such childish strategies are outdated." The place where the teenage boy had tapped was the exact location of the Broodmother, who was currently at the center of the chaos caused by the Chaos Mines. "Alpha Team, pull out," Thirteen ordered. "Uncle, please launch Mephisto." "Understood," Michael replied. All the Flying Forces of the Alliance, which Thirteen had given the general codename Alpha Team immediately retreated without hesitation. A moment later, the Aircraft Carrier of the Leventis Family launched a missile that Thirteen had given the codename Mephisto. It was a weapon customly created in order to specifically target the Kings of the Rigel Continent. Due to the massive resources that were needed to construct such a missile, the Leventis Family had only made two of them. Renz and the members of the Alliance, who weren't informed about this weapon from the Leventis Family, could only look at the trail in the sky that was created by the missile. The Broodmother's senses tingled, informing it that something that could threaten its life was fast approaching. It then immediately coated its body in a steel-like mineral, raising its defenses to its limit. "Foolish spider," Thirteen sneered. "Do you really think that your petty trick could defend you from Mephisto?" A blinding flash of light erupted, covering the entire battlefield in white for a brief moment. Renz, who was standing beside the teenage boy, shuddered as he looked at the flying military drones, which were monitoring the battlefield in real-time. A dust cloud that rose up several miles into the atmosphere blocked everyone's vision. Arthur, who was riding on his Flying Serpent, ordered it to disperse the dust cloud so that he could see the result of their family's two-year effort. What he didn't know was that the missile alone wasn't enough to kill a Rank 8 Sovereign that easily. Thirteen made sure that the entire missile was covered with Rune Magic, allowing its damage to increase several folds. Even if the blueprint for the Mephisto Missile was stolen or shared with the public, the result wouldn't be the same. Everyone's gazes landed on the spider that was at the center of a giant crater. A good chunk of its body was blown apart, and only three of its legs remained. Even though it survived, it had received a fatal injury, which would end its life after a few minutes. A loud cheer erupted in the surroundings as Renz and the staff at the command center all raised their hands in triumph. The same thing was happening all around the world as everyone witnessed that one of the remaining Kings of the Rigel Continent had been defeated. "Commander, we did it!" One of the staff shouted as he looked at the teenage boy with awe. "We defeated it!" "Calm down, son," Thirteen replied despite talking to someone who was older than him. "It's just a Rank 8 Sovereign. It's not a big deal. Return to your post, and monitor the battlefield. This battle has just begun." "Yes, Sir!" the officer saluted as he returned to this duty. He didn't even mind being called "son" by the teenage boy who could easily pass off as his own child. "You're too humble, Commander," Renz commented from the side. "I'm not being humble, Renz," Thirteen replied. "Watch closely because you will be doing the same in the future. As I said earlier, this isn't really a big deal." The second-in-command of the Dvalinn Federation smiled faintly and nodded his head. If other people dared to say that in front of him, he would have slapped them silly and ordered the officers in the command center to kick them out. However, he didn't dare to do that to the teenage boy, who seemed to be playing a game of chess against a complete beginner. What everyone didn't know was that Thirteen genuinely thought that this one-sided battle was not a big deal. If he had been given more time, he would have made a more powerful version of Mephisto and other armaments that would have made everyone cough up blood due to how much resources it required to make them. Thirteen had been too busy working on Athena and Nautilus, so he left the missile's creation to the Leventis Family. Aside from adding Rune Magic to the finished product, he didn't do anything more than that. While the image on the screens projected that the Broodmother was no longer capable of fighting, a flying serpent descended from the sky and headed straight to it. Arthur, who understood that the Broodmother was on its last legs, didn't think twice and attacked with the intention of giving it the finishing blow. But before he could do that, the ground under the Broodmother opened up, making its giant body fall. The Centipede King, who had been waiting for that exact moment, dragged its "comrade" deep underground and left the battlefield in haste. Everyone was surprised about this sudden development because they didn't expect that another King would appear to save its comrade. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦 Thirteen, on the other hand, only smiled faintly before giving his next set of orders. "Alpha Team, head Northeast and deal with the Wolf King," Thirteen ordered. "All warships, aim your cannons at the coordinates that I will be giving you. Wait for my orders before you fire. Understood?" """Yes, Sir!""" A series of acknowledgments reached the Command Center as Cristopher and Marion led the Aerial Forces of the Alliance to deal with the ground forces that belonged to the Wolf King and the remnants of the King Manticore's army. The Soldiers, who were still amassing on the beach area, remained on standby. While they could have helped the Alpha Team to eliminate the Wolf King and its followers, Thirteen didn't plan to make unnecessary sacrifices on his side. What he wanted everyone to see was a one-sided massacre of the Jinns and Majins, whom everyone had thought to be near-invincible. Even Douglas Griffin, who was watching the live coverage of the battle, was busy telling his subordinates to record everything that was happening so that they could learn from it. The Monarch of the Cygni Continent believed that as long as he and his advisors studied Zion's strategy, they would be able to replicate it and use it against the same monsters who would be invading their lands very soon.
