Chapter 494: Mousetrap

— Meanwhile, in New Hope City, close to the Portal Station —

Meanwhile, in the heart of the silent city, the Reptilians were savouring what was to them a flawless victory in the making. Ever since they had arrived on the continent, everything had fallen into place with a precision that felt almost like it was ordained by the Heavens.

From their landing to their spotting the two Formations at the centre of the continent, to their finding a settlement close to the ocean, to their infiltration of the city using a weak link of the CLan, and now their takeover of the portals… everything was going so well!

The streets, that once were bustling with that ape lifeform were now somewhat empty and the humans had either fled after being chased away by the revolutionaries, or they had left after being compelled by the Reptilians' mind control.
