Chapter 203 Burning Down the House part two (1/2)
The entire group stepped into the Inuit subcontinent, a few dozen meters from the tree instance they had visited earlier in the day. There was no one around, Nix couldn't help but wonder what Raine or Del would say if they knew he could bring an army to their doorsteps.
/Inferno: Nix: These are going to be strong fighters, I want our arches to stay at range and pick your targets.
/Inferno: Jun Li: Stay in groups of two or three, we've all seen what Archons can do, fight smart.
/Inferno: Locas: I've assigned 25 rangers to each of you. Whatever target you choose, you'll have fire support immediately.
[Summons: Ducky]
[Summons: Tor, Cal, Shadai]
Ducky appeared next to Nix, she smiled pleasantly her eyes instantly taking in everything. She was wearing the leather House Armor from the Cai'Song Raid.
His three Arch Winds hovered near him, ready to fight. Nix motioned for Cal to come closer. ”I'm bringing in the Gemini Acolytes, you can take up a position with them and Esta.
Cal saluted crisply. ”Of course sir.”
/Inferno: Nix: Let's move in.
Nix led them down the winding path to the clearing. There were a half dozen horses tied up nearby, but no one was in sight.

A Large holo of the area popped up in front of Nix. Seventeen Archons could feasibly be a larger threat than the force they challenged in Mermaid City. He smiled pleasantly and activated the 12 Pillar Alliance and the Gemini Temple Acolytes; what's the use in having allies if they were just going to sit on the bench? After noticing that Vooni and Beta were added to his Friends option, he activated both of them along with Chiba.
He placed his Acolytes to the rear of the formation, even though they were armored up, they were still one-hit kills for an Archon. He placed the Alliance right in front of them.
/Breach Commander Nix: We are deep in the Inuit subcontinent. There is probably a large Archon force inside the buildings. No Sub-Commanders today, each Guild takes one Archon, treat them like a badass boss.
”Chiba?” Beta's voice showed her surprise, the albino Envoy rushed the old woman and hugged her tight. ”CHIBA!”
Chiba's old face cracked into a smile. ”Master Beta!” The old woman returned the hug.
Beta's face turned pink to match her eyes. ”Still using that old joke?”
Chiba didn't answer but instead turned toward Nix. ”How did you meet Beta?”
”Because he's strong enough to fight on the upper planes without passing through the trial.” Beta answered without giving Nix a chance. ”How do you know Nix?
Chiba licked her lips suggestivelly. ”He's my lover of course, and my apprentice.”
Nix scowled at the old woman and immediately considered sending her someplace unpleasant. ”Master Chiba has a vivid imagination. Get ready please.”
/Alpha Team: Nix: Pair up and take two Archons between the four of you. I'm going to take Zar.
/Inferno: Nix: Shae you can pick whatever target you like.
/Breach Commander Nix: Rangers, there are 8 Ley ribbons connecting the buildings to the ground. Please eliminate them, pick your targets after that.
/Sub-Commander Locas: Target all Ley ribbons and fire on my command… Aim!
The highly organzied rangers divided their aim without having to be assigned, thirty-five to thirty-seven aimed at each target.
/Sub-Commander Locas: If the ribbons aren't destroyed with the first volley, reload and prepare to fire again. Once they are severed, assist your Inferno Member.
/Sub-Commander Locas: FIRE!
[Breach Command: Inspire]
All Damage from your forces is doubled for 90 seconds.
All eight ribbons were destroyed at the same time, the explosions rocked the buildings and they plummeted to the ground with an earth jarring crash.
Conveniently, Zar was the first person out. He exploded through the wall of the fallen building with one glowing sword in hand.
