Chapter 07: Commander Elsass

Chapter 07

Commander Elsass

[Unidentified heat signature detected!]

The warning not only alarmed the TGG command’s operators and console officers, it also sent problematic shivers on their Guild Master’s spine.

The 160m large intimidating blue and orange themed flagship of the TGG, the Camarilla, had five guardian fleets with seven escort warships leading them. It was hovering at a height of 27km from the ground, above a lake, 130km away from the main battlefield, and was surrounded by countless Cyclones in their jet fighter forms. When seen from afar, they looked like sprinkles of sesame seeds above a large rectangular bread.

Inside this large ship, the command bridge located in the belly of the hull, attached to the mainmast that took a cannon on its upper tip, was a spacious room that had four divisions of panels in a diamond formation, with a partition of only the Real@D image of the on-going war. Back faced from the ship’s captain, 6Er0n1m0, was the operators typing many things and confirming messages on their respective consoles.

Reports came and 6Er0n1m0 confirmed them all except for the last one, who, the person elevated 2ft from his captain’s podium, sitting in the Commander’s Chair behind him, who faced the 180 degrees all-view window with a frown listened with antagonistic aura.

6Er0n1m0 felt that he was being pressed down by a giant hand just from the glare of the Commander on the Real@D images of the war.

[Location 135! Distance, 270km. Estimated speed is 150kn and dropping! It’s headed towards the battlefield sir!]

“Is it the reinforcement?” 

6Er0n1m0 asked and put a firm downing glance at the console operator who leaned his head to the captain at the middle of the diamond console formation. 

The operator felt like melting as he bowed back to his console and replied to him with a trembling voice.

[Un-Unconfirmed sir. Its ID signature says that it is a ship under The Union’s flag. This identification came from the ones we received from the sponsor, sir.]

“Weapon scanners.” The Commander, Elsass, the Guild Master of the Titan Goliath Guild ordered and his firm tone and stern expression, paired with the ever calm suppressing demeanor was enough to put even the esteemed captain of the Camarilla to cower back.

[Six Bloodymary Cannons detected! Referencing in the database confirmed! It’s the Miranda!]

“Miranda?!” The name actually surprised Elsass, “In what heaven’s name does that Witch have to do with this war?” who made all the NPC and User operators to feel the changing of the sides of their war.

[Sir! Incoming transmission from Rogue.]

And now that man? Elsass felt like punching the captain for an unknown reason as he ordered for the Signal Officer to patch the transmission on the main display window.

[Commander Elsass.] A dark figure of a man in a dark background spoke with an edited gruff voice.

“Rogue.”

[I see that you are still in good shape.]

“Enough with the pleasantries. The Miranda came from the Sylph’s side of the horizon. I would actually assume that you also something to do with this until you tell me that you, again, have nothing to do with it.”

He tried to be as intimidating as he can but the mien of this Rouge person doesn’t seem to be affected by it at all. Instead, he looked like he was having a smile in that dark shadow with only his human outline seen.
