Chapter 96 - Shadow Moon XXXVII

Name:Factory Inc. Author:Gravedagger
Tom received the report and sigh, "if even Gerry was wounded that badly the fight would have been tough" said Tom in his mind. "Prioritized the recovery of our wounded they must be back on their feet within 24 hours."

"Yes, sir."

"The lack of information is giving us a hard time." Tom now starting to missed Eve's real-time support.

Reports on the battlefield are continuously coming in. The people in the command center are all busy trying to summarize and categorized all the reports coming on the battlefield.

Tom was happy with the performance of the Army because even though they trained them well, only in an actual war they can truly be tested, and so far they are doing very well.

The Shadow Unit in this operation also started to move. Their job is to locate and give as much accurate Intel regarding the enemies.

Because in this fight the Army really comes in blind and only have the basic Intel to start with. And all other Intel is being collected in real-time during the raid. And from there they are building a solid Intel regarding the enemies one step of the time, or one fight at a time.

But Tom didn't complain, he chose to attack with those conditions to trained his men at the same time giving them an experience that they can use in the future. The loss was inevitable he was prepared for that the moment he made the decisions to begin the operations with minimum lintels. Of course, he could have chosen a more safe path like having the Shadow Unit paving the way for them. Like planting many bombs in the city and assassinating the leaders, or their men one by one. But doing so his soldiers would be accustomed to doing an easy job.

So he plans to give his soldiers a hard lesson and experience they will be able to carry for the rest of their careers.

And as Arc gives him full control of the Army he plans to give the best Army to his boss, not some mediocre Army who only knows how to do an easy job. No, he plans to create an ultimate Army capable of doing any mission regarding any conditions.

Arc was aware of what Tom is planing. His only concern is that Tom's real occupation is a trainer, not a commander or general who specializes in commanding the army. He didn't even have a real military strategist to help him, and without Eve he was a little worried about the assault on Enigma City. But he trusts Tom and the rest and deep down he also accepted the possible loss of men.

Anyways Arc gives the reign on the troops to his men but soon he will take over as a Supreme Commander. So he tried to learn as much as he can, he has been reading books of all kinds that will help him in the future for he knows he can't just stay in the background forever.

Even though that's his original plan but now not so much, back then he criticized those MC novels who charge head on to their enemies if they can send his men to do it, he always cursed at them and called them idiots, to him the overlord in the background controlling everything in the shadow is the ideal protagonist, but now he started to understand a little why those MC tried to do most things by themselves. It's because being a background Boss is so F.u.c.k.i.n.g Boring!

But of course, he's not going to play with the lives of his men just to fulfill his vanity, so he tried to study and trained hard in order to be a commander that his men deserve and at the same time fulfill his desires for blood. So even though he has no role in the most operation of Shadow Moon and Grand Army. He was always there watching and learning and absorbing everything at the same time.

He knows his time will come soon enough.

Arc only recieve a bit of Intel regarding the assault on Enigma City until they were able to build a communication tower in Enigma City the communication there remains unstable.

The assault on Enigma City is going on for about 17 hours non-stop, many people of enigma are exhausted but the Grand Army is still full of energy and fighting spirit.

Their assault never stops or let up, their attack remains strong and nonstop. But unlike the Grand Army, many mobs are exhausted and their enthusiasm is long gone and worst the effect of the drugs they ingested is about to run out.

So many of them are panicking and trying to get a hold of more drugs because they know the aftereffects is going to be Hell. Many of them are under the influence of drugs for years non-stop, and they know the moment the effect of drugs wears off they be in one hell of situations maybe they won't make it through the withdrawal.

So they all come to Jack the biggest Drug supplier in Enigma City. But the problem is even Jack huge supplies of Drugs is not enough to supply hundreds of thousands of people in one go and most of his stock is already been given away when the first assault happens what he has are his backup supply for him and his men he didn't have any more to give to the mob.

And that's when all started going downhill for him. As they retreated and tried to regroup they tried everything they can possibly do to fight back. But after over 15 hours they still unable to do anything and now the drugs that he considered a weapon against his enemies are starting to point its barrel at him. As time goes on more and more mobs are starting to feel the effect of drugs waning, and they began to ask him for more. He knew things are not looking good for him.
