Chapter 948: Three days later, just as Darkia had said.
Chapter 948: Three days later, just as Darkia had said.
With the support of Nathan, Rachel, and the Titan Guild, the cooperation and trust of Arabel's Avatar, Esma, and her doppelganger had increased significantly, the evacuation of cities in the west was rapidly gaining momentum.
In the south, through the efforts of Idan, Hazel, her doppelganger, and the members of her group, as well as with the support of Crowey's crows, the evacuation process also accelerated.
In the Kingdom, Arabel carefully analyzed the current state of the groups and began to redistribute forces.
After Hailey took over the management of Borefield City, the third city in the North, the members of Esma's group located in this city were transferred to the west to join their leader.
While Felicia remained in the Capital waiting, Arabel decided to send her groups south to support Idan.
Thus, in the North, in the city of Norwood, Nemo, Irene's group, led by Neri, and Yara and her group operated.
To the east, in Grayvale City, was the Kingdom's most powerful force — Lina, Irene, Yulaya and her group, Eulalia, Arslan and his group, Nayla and her group, and the hero Ren.
The expansion of operations in the south and west of the Federation has demonstrated how significant lost hours can be.
In fact, in the south and west, Idan and Arabel did not so much save entire cities as they helped those who still held on and survived. There were several more cities on their list, and no matter how much they wanted to be everywhere at once, they couldn't spread their forces any further.
Time passed inexorably, and the evacuation of the four cities was in full swing.
Surprisingly, during all this time, no hostile actions were noticed by beings from other worlds.
It was as if after two unsuccessful attempts and not seeing the expected explosion, they were hiding and did not dare to make a third one. However, Arabel and the others did not relax, always ready for an unexpected move from their detractors.
So another day passed.
During this time, Idan's group and Arabel's Avatar managed to rescue the survivors from two cities in the west and two in the south.
In the north, the city of Norwood was successfully evacuated, and now Nemo and the others have begun evacuating the third and final city, Borefield.
Meanwhile, in the east, the evacuation of the city of Greyvale continued. The end of the evacuation was near, as was the Thunderstorm Anomaly, which had increased and accelerated during this time.
Towards morning, Arabel received a message from Lina through the {Whisper Talisman}.
--------------------
Thunderblade Empress: {Sister, it happened. Unusual fluctuations in the energy of the lightning element emanate from the Anomaly. As you said, it looks like these are the first signs of the seeds of law coming soon.
--------------------
As soon as Arabel read Lina's message, she started receiving messages from others one by one. After reviewing all the messages, she sighed and whispered:
"It looks like Darkia didn't lie after all, and the first signs of the seeds of the law appeared three days later."
"Now the situation has to change."
Arabel put down the {Whisper Talisman} and turned to Leo.:
"Leo, follow the Federation's negotiations and if you notice any unusual actions, inform me immediately."
"Okay," Leo replied readily.
Immediately after that, Arabel contacted Milena and asked her to contact Irina and find out how the Awakened Association would react to all this.
In the west, following the already familiar pattern, a giant water barrier was erected over another city, protecting it from heavy rain and strong winds.
The water that flooded the city was completely frozen, and a portal appeared in the center of it, above which, like a beacon of hope, a bright luminary of the element of light shone.
The inhabitants of the city, led by the light, rushed to the portal one by one to escape from the impending danger. From time to time, beasts broke through from under the ice, but they were overtaken by Rachel's well-aimed bow shots, hovering high in the sky.
Members of the Titan Guild and the Kingdom worked together to comb the city, helping the survivors escape from the traps.
Arabel's avatar, who was fixing the ice breaks, stopped and fixed her gaze in the direction where the Storm Anomaly was coming from.
Arabel suddenly felt a pronounced fluctuation of the water element, which was very different from the usual feeling of the element of water. She could not accurately describe these fluctuations, but now she has seen from her own experience that these fluctuations cannot be confused with anything.
"Is that really how the law feels?" — A thought flashed through her mind.
At that moment, Esma's voice came through their contract:
"Sis, do you feel it too?"
"Yes," Arabel said. "I can feel it. But I... can't describe this feeling..."
"These are the fluctuations of the origin of the law, little sister. The law of water!"— there were notes of desire and excitement in Esma's voice.
"I understand your desire, Big sister, but please focus on your current task. We will talk about the seeds of the law later," Arabel asked.
"Okay, sis," — Esma suppressed her inner impulses, following Arabel's request.
Arabel's avatar, momentarily distracted from the first signs of the seeds of law, returned his focus to repairing the ice breaks.
But less than a minute later, she received a message from Rachel:
"Arabel, come here, there is something to discuss."
Unsurprised by Rachel's sudden request, Arabel spread her wings and soared up to meet Rachel.
When she appeared in front of Rachel, Rachel, seeing her calm gaze, asked:
"Have you received reports of strange fluctuations in the Anomalies?"
"Yes," Arabel nodded.
"What do you know about it?" asked Rachel.
"We know that these are fluctuations in the seeds of the law," Arabel did not hide and added: "Darkia has already warned us about this."
Rachel looked mildly surprised, then grinned.
"That's it, then."
"And what are you planning?"
"About the seeds of the law?" asked Arabel.
"Yes," Rachel nodded.
"Nothing at the moment," Arabel replied bluntly. "This does not change our current plan to rescue the residents of doomed cities."
"Hmm..."
Rachel stared at Arabel.
"I have received reports that the Federation and the Association are calling on all Awakened and Guilds to report to one of the several assembly points closest to them."
"I have received reports that the Federation and the Association are calling on all Awakened and Guilds to report to one of the several assembly points closest to them."
"You too?" — Arabel asked, and Rachel nodded in the affirmative.
"So what? Are you leaving?"
Rachel was slow to respond. Instead, she studied Arabel closely.
Over the past two days, she had observed her dedication and sincere desire to help ordinary people, and she truly admired it.
"Do you want my advice?" Arabel asked, not waiting for Rachel's answer and seeing her doubts.
Rachel nodded, and Arabel, looking seriously into her eyes, said:
"For the sake of your safety and the well-being of your guild members, ignore this call and don't go there."
