1150. Defenses

The Hive as a whole held Chasing Demon's funeral during the months following the return of the powerhouses.

Months of political silence followed the dispersion of his ashes. The Hive didn't make any move, and even its borders remained peaceful while the higher-ups held their event.

The rank 5 Elders held banquets to recall his moments as a leader. Flying Demon, Dreaming Demon, and Elder Julia joined those events to tell stories that the weaker assets had missed, but Noah didn't go to any of them.

Noah had promised a full-on invasion. It was his first time ordering something on that scale, but the Hive's powerhouses knew that he wasn't joking around.

Chasing Demon's death had to be a signal. His sacrifice had to state that the Elbas family couldn't be part of the new continent, and Noah intended to make that idea real.

Still, he had some projects to finish before approaching the tight defensive formations that surrounded the four regions under the control of the Elbas family.
