Re-Awakening: I Ascend with a Legendary class

Chapter 675: The Plan

The plan was simple, but cut-throat.

Thanks to the Tier-100 weapons, and the Vorth’s team providing energy, they could form a super expedition team focusing on acquiring the other four blueprints of Tier-100 areas.

With Almond’s third deck, escaping would be easy as long as the team managed to reach the blueprints and acquired them.

Almond would keep the locations in his third deck’s card that marks the areas as vaults, and after forging the blueprints, he could return swiftly and put the fake blueprints back to their places.

With this, they would secretly develop all five Tier-100 blueprints right away and get ahead of others, while the others wouldn’t even know anything.

...

The team was made swiftly.

Almond, Lily, Natalia, Kayla, Marcus, and Maya, alongaside Almond’s seven Spirit Lords, and Lily’s ten Dreadling Monarches.

Just these individual would be going with Vorth and her team to acquire the blueprints.

Rudra, Silvester, Hiroshi, and others, including Asura Executives, alongside the army of Suryax, and the 100,000 Units started moving towards the mainland with the 50% of the Suryax Regalon alliance’s fleet.

All other alliances also brought 50% of their full fleet, keeping the other half stationed in case one of them decided to attack another.

The expedition team was waiting for Vorth and others to finish tuning the high-intensity Tier-100 weapons.

It was going to take some hours.

While waiting, Almond and others were watching the live feed of their army movign towards the mainland.

"We have to make sure this event lasts as long as possible," Lily said.

Almond nodded. "It said the mountain has ripened, but it didn’t say how long we will have to hold off against Doom Army to get the reward."

"It could be an uncertainty of the event." Natalia narrowed her eyes.

"Like it depends on us?" Maya noddded. "Maybe that’s the case."

"In any case, we are supposed to contiunue holding off against the Doomy Army and fight it until the Doom Monarch stops sending his army to us, right?" Marcus asked.

Almond nodded. "That seems to be the case, and it’s very good for us. If we resist hard, Doom Monarch might give up early, but if we keep it balanced, and make the Doom Monarch think that he could acquire the mountain, then we keep this event running."

"For the ideal situation, we need ten days, right?" Natalia asked.

"Definitly. The others also wouldn’t find out that the blueprints are gone so soon, unless they form teams to the depths right away after the event." Lily smiled. "Which I doubt. If we can keep the event running for ten days at least, we will have forged copies of the blueprints, and execute the plan successfully."

"Then ten days is the target," Almond said. "Vorth, can you have the weapons tuned within four hours?"

"Three, if you let me skip the calibration pass on the secondary harmonics. If we don’t do this, the weapons will be damaged during usage, but output will be higher, but we can repair the weapons on the go."

"Skip it."

"Then three."

She turned and walked back toward the lab without waiting to be dismissed. Her team followed, and the war room emptied of technical personnel within minutes.

The leadership stayed around the projection a moment longer. The army was already moving. Rudra had left the chamber the instant Almond said the word, and the first elements of the Suryax-Regalon fleet were already lifting from the outer harbor.

Lily watched them rise. "You and I are going to be very busy for the next ten days."

"Yes."

"I want you to know I am enjoying this."

He smiled faintly. "I know."

...

The fleet flew north toward the mainland at a speed the kingdom had never shown in public before.

It was a chosen reveal. The other alliances would see the speed and update their notes. But speed by itself said nothing about decks or weapons. They would guess that the Mega Dreadships had new propulsion, which was true. They would not guess anything else.

Gopu’s rebuilt propulsion system finally got its first open run. He had finished it during his nine-day workshop seclusion two months back, and now the lead Mega Dreadship moved at nearly twice the normal fleet speed. The Skydread Crafts pushed to keep up. Behind them came the rest of the committed fleet, the Suryax main army, and the 100,000 Regalon troops that had been quietly re-equipped over the past two months.

The mainland came into view on the northern horizon after four hours.

It did not look like land. It looked like a wall. A long ridge of dark, jagged stone ran east to west as far as anyone could see. And that was only the southern edge of a continent that was bigger than every island combined. The sky above the ridge was different too. The light dimmed. A low red tint covered everything the Doom Monarch ruled.

The Star Mayhem Mountain stood on the inland plateau like a wound that had never closed.

They could see it from forty kilometers out. The closer they got, the stranger it looked.

It was kilometers wide at the base. The peak vanished into the upper sky. But the size was not the strange part. The Mountain was not stone. Its surface was clear and crystal-like, with veins of light running through it. The veins pulsed in slow, uneven rhythms. The colors shifted as the eye tried to fix them. Deep violet. Pale gold. Dark green. Something close to silver, but not quite.

Bursts of exotic energy bloomed open across its slopes and faded away. They dropped slow trails of glowing particles that sometimes fell down and sometimes fell up. Even forty kilometers away, the energy from the Mountain pressed against the fleet’s sensors. The readings spiked, stabilized, then spiked again.

It was a Tier-100 thing standing on a Tier-60 continent. It should not have been there.

But it was. And it was ripe. And the Doom Monarch wanted it.

And did everyone else.

The four alliances arrived at the base of the Mountain within ten minutes of each other, and stationed themselves with tactic understanding.
