Chapter 434 434: The Northern Campaign IV
"How do we get into that?" Pasco asked as he looked at the massive city, it was obvious that this was the first time the scout had seen the city of Te Merea. This world was such that, most people would go their entire lives without ever once setting foot outside of The Boreas. And not even goes further as some people don\'t even know what one end of Te Boreas looks like from the other.
"Set up camp, let them know that we\'re here but do nothing. Coordinate with the scouts of the subjugation force that has been failing since they got here. I need you to scout the entire perimeter of the city, and given it\'s size, I think it will take you all at least 5 hours to go around it and get back to me." Cole said to Pasco as the man nodded, before Cole stopped him.
"You didn\'t even ask me what you would be scouting for Pasco, that\'s bad…..I don\'t usually need scouts, especially when I\'m sure the subjugation army would have scouted around the city already. Asking you to do so again would be a waste of time, plus I\'m sure they still have people watching every corner of the city." Cole said with a smile as Pasco put his hands to his sides and his feet together before blowing.
"My apologies my Lord, I am not bright as you think I am, and I have fallen short of your expectations." Pasco said as voice spoke out from the side and Cassandra showed up with Razor right behind her, Cole had sent his own people ahead, or rather they were in the vicinity and have been his eyes and ears on the situation for the better part of 3 days.
"Dont sweat it too much Kid, he knows there\'s no way you would be able to know, it\'s just that our fearless Chaos Lord here, has a flair for the dramatic, which would explain why your lady mother has been so insistent on building or adjoining a theatre to the Black Tower."
"That\'s Raen Valley business Cass, pace yourself. Pasco you guys will be scouting for roots." Cole spoke to Pasco as he stretched his hand out to fist bump Razor, even after he just berated his mother. Honestly speaking Cole\'s leadership and Cass and her son\'s loyalty to him was new. And while it was absolute for them all, it was weird going from normal new century folks to giving respect like dark age peasants.
"Roots My Lord?" Pasco asked confused, which was good. Cole was not all about blind followers, which was why Cassandra had this level of freedom with him, plus she was a part of his inner circle too.
"Yeah that\'s a big ass tree over there." Razor answered on behalf on Cole, as the teen stepped forward. "A tree that big would have extremely massive roots, and trees don\'t sent their roots straight down, they really wouldn\'t be able to stay upright that way, so the roots have to spread out, roots mean a direct access to the tree itself, so basically an underground tunnel. " Cole clamped a hand on Razor\'s shoulder.
"You\'ve gotten smarter kid, and stronger too Mr. Alchemist." Cole said to him with an elder brother like tone, honestly Razor, his brother\'s kids, the two kids he had saved from Tehilla\'s space station and funny enough another teen girl that was Eze\'s well hidden daughter and two of Peronico\'s kids.
If he was not with Tehilla or dealing with some matters, he spent the most time with them. And it has been a learning and healing process not just for him, but also for them. It was crazy really, but Razor was probably a lot closer to Cole than he ever could possibly be to his mother. The kid is his baby brother.
"Peronico is a genius, plus the Collegium has been hosting college classes. At the moment Peronico and his elder kids are the teachers, but there have been people amongst the Denizens that offered books, or knowledge they had, some even becoming teachers. There\'s plenty of things to learn other than smashing heads and darklings with you all the time. Now do you want me to go find this root with Pasco here?" Razor asked while Cole shook his head.
"Why! Pasco is even more qualified than you to find it, stay here with me and your Mom, let\'s have a conversation." Cole said but Razor shook his head.
"I\'d rather not, I\'ve been itching for some action so instead just give me a mission, anything please." Cole looked from Razor to Cassandra, neither wanted to look at his face but he could sense the distress from both of them, seems the Mom and son were working through some issues. Cole shook his head, he too was a teen once, best let the boy have some time to himself to stew in whatever it is that\'s wrong with him.
"Sure you and Pasco can lead a scouting party and find me a root large enough to travel through. Doesn\'t have to a person height but it has to be at least a body and a half or two bodies wide. Now run along, I need those roots quick, waiting around makes me jittery, and when I\'m jittery."
Razor laughed as he answered.
"Yes, yes I know My Lord…..People Die."
