Chapter 322: Operation Complete
After collecting the last of the captives, Sage met up with the rest of the Jade Horde outside to get a situation report. The leader of the Slavers was confirmed having escaped with heavy injuries, but no others had passed their encirclement. Sage went underground again and collected the 600 Jade Horde members that were guarding the underground maze. Casualties were minor with the exception of two groups.
The two vice leaders of the Slavers had broken through at those places. The one with the exploding fire spheres had almost immediately killed twenty men, but then he was killed by a forest of spear heads. The remaining thirty then had to face the rush of escaping Slavers, where they sustained heavy injuries and lost another half of those remaining. Only twenty of them were left alive, and most heavily wounded. Theyd had to pull back from the choke point and let the rest of the Slavers go. Sage was impressed by their bravery and marked them down to be awarded later.
The man with the giant hammer was far more difficult to deal with. In the tight confines of the underground area, he used his hammer head like a shield and smashed through a team of fifty in one push. Most of them were thrown off their feet by his incredible strength, and then the other Slavers rushed in to help. The whole squad was completely wiped out and all the Slavers who had escaped by this route were now dispersed through that underground labyrinth with no telling where they might end up.
Sage could only curse and collect corpses. He could only sigh at the loss of lives, both his men and the caged prisoners that he couldnt save. Even so, it was a great victory. The casualties were less than against the first compound and theyd saved many more people. The worst part about the operation was letting the two enemy leaders escape and also the lack of spoils. From what they learned after defeating the first base and surveilling the second one, there wasnt much wealth being kept in the outposts. That meant either the leaders were keeping it all for themselves, or someone else was calling all the shots and these outposts were only henchmen.
Well, time to check out Hei Bais stuff!The origin of this chapter's debut can be traced to N0v3l--B1n.
I still dont know what Im going to do with all of them. If I just let them return to their homes, wont I be inviting trouble for myself in the future?
Letting that problem stew for a while, he walked to his walled manor and went down into the basement. That was where he kept his huge stone warehouse, the area that he used for storage. It was basically just a much larger version of his old storage ring. With the help of the Hoplites and being able to put things into stasis, the warehouse was an order of magnitude larger than the old one. The sliver of the Universe Ring had room 100 by 100 feet wide, with a 20 foot ceiling. The new warehouse was 100 by 100 yards wide, which gave it nine times the square footage, and was also a cavernous chamber 100 feet tall. The warehouse was the size of an aircraft hanger: 9 million cubic feet in comparison to the old two hundred thousand.
Without the ability to freeze things into a sort of stasis it would have been near impossible for a few Hoplites to build such a massive chamber underground. The place would have collapsed under the weight of the rock and soil above, but with the stasis ability they merely had to excavate the place and then build a structure within it. There were a few large columns that wasted some of the space inside, but Sage only needed a large warehouse, not a real aircraft hanger to hold massive contiguous objects like passenger airliners. Even with the huge storage space, Sage still used his honeycomb like sorting method. Maximizing the speed at which he could retrieve objects while trying to waste the least amount of storage space. He could have pulled out Hei Bais corpse in an instant, but he didnt want to arouse any attention in the camp with the smell of a corpse.
Walking into the huge warehouse, he moved into the stasis area hed established and flew into the air. Inside the Universe Ring, once an area was put into stasis it seemed that time, gravity, sound, smell, and even light was restricted. Fortunately, he could will those attributes back on, and even float around the area as he willed. Sage had no idea how it all worked, but it was extremely convenient. He floated over towards where hed placed a huge stone and the mess underneath it. That mess used to be Hei Bais body before it was squished into a gruesome pulp.
Very carefully, he rolled over the huge stone onto its side, just like he was checking under a rock for bugs. Conveniently, the rock floated there as he lifted it, requiring no help to stay where it was while he bent down to take a peek underneath. At the sight he couldnt help but to make a disgusted face, Ewww.
