The Bloodline System

Author's Note: Unedited Chapters

"If you're exhausted, take refuge on the wall," Gradier Xanatus said as he turned around and sent out a punch which caused shockwaves to spread across the place.

"But sir, I need to help out..." Fola voiced out in resistance but Gradier Xanatus quickly cut him short.

"You're almost out of bloodline energy... take refuge on the wall, I'll have called in reinforcements they will be arriving soon. You won't be any good to anyone if you die here," Gradier Xanatus stated.

Officer Fola was taken aback for a second before he nodded and replied respectfully, "Yes sir,"

After saying this he leapt into the air and flee back towards the wall.

Gradier Xanatus looked up and could see several ripped apart bodies falling from the sky.

Before they made contact with the ground they were hit by a ball of milky light that caused them to start disintegrating.

"Gustav," Gradier Xanatus voiced out as he spotted the person responsible for that.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A twenty feet tall robotic looking machine could be seen sending forth explosions that wreaked havoc across the battlefield.

Gradier Xanatus couldn't recognise this technological mixedblood machine especially since it didn't have the MBO emblem on its back.

'Who's riding that?' He wondered internally but in that same instant...

Bam!

Gustav landed on the ground up ahead sending out another shockwaves across the vicinity that caused multiple infected to be blasted backwards.

"Gradier Xanatus, you're back," Gustav voiced out as he turned around.

"You're... covered in their ashy substance..." Gradier Xanatus said with a look of concern as Gustav moved towards him.

"It's fine, I'm immune," Gustav didn't feel the need to hide this from Gradier Xanatus so he voiced it out.

Gradier Xanatus face displayed a look of relief after hearing that.

"Who are these? The orchestrators?" Gustav asked as he spotted the glowing cage behind with three people within.

"Some of them, yes," Gradier Xanatus responded.

"I'll fill you in at the top of the wall," Gradier Xanatus voiced out as he picked up the cage.

"There's no time, I can't leave them to handle it on their own," Gustav voiced out as he hinted at the battlefield.

"Reinforcements are arriving in a few, they'll be okay," Gradier Xanatus stated as he leapt towards the wall with the cage in his grasp.

Gustav pounded a few more infected before lighting himself on fire to get rid of the ashy substance all over.

He proceeded to turn around and leap forward. The wall was at least three thousand feet away but he arrived above it in nearly an instant.

Gustav landed atop the wall and moved to where Gradier Xanatus was standing with the culprits.

"Where is Red Shadow?" Gustav asked.

Gradier Xanatus had a look a troubled and urgent expression on his face as he began narrating how things had gone after Gustav helped them locate the culprits.

-

A few minutes later Gustav had a look of understanding as he moved closer to the cage.

Gradier Xanatus had finished narrating how Red Shadow and him had to split up since he had to bring these ones back while Red Shadow had to find the last person.

He had also mentioned how, the current amount of infected they were currently fighting against was nothing compared to the amount that hadn't been given set instructions yet.

Gustav calculated based on what Gradier Xanatus disclosed and realise the infected that waiting to get sent out was at least six times more than the infected they had spent the entire night fending off.

The casualty number had climbed and it would even be worse if this amount was to be sent out at the same time.

Currently MBO reinforcements were arriving one after the other in the hundreds. Also more than 70% of the infected had been erased at this point so the reinforcements arriving were a great help in holding the line without Gustav's input.

No matter how many reinforcements the MBO sends out next, with what Gustav had heard about the creature they were trying to revive with the infection, the city would be lost unless they just decided to blow everything to bits.

The MBO had the power to end everything at this instant but since preserving lives had always been the priority they still had to try and protect all the citizens living here.

If they decided to be extreme, all lives here would end.

"Have they told you guys everything they know or we still need to hound them for more information?" Gustav voiced as he moved closer to the cage and stared at the people within.

"There's no time to try and get more information from them at the moment, we've gotten what we need for now," Gradier Xanatus responded.

"I need to head back into Gildian City to help Red Shadow," He added.

He had taken a little longer than expected to arrive back at the wall because he took a stop once he arrived at an area where he could make use of communication tools.

He had to explain to the higher ups that the situation here is worse than they thought and gave them some minute details.

It took some time to get them to send the amount of reinforcements Gradier Xanatus had requested.

Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!

Currently over three hundred robotic Mixedblood machines with experienced officers within were landing from the sky all across different places in the battlefield.

More powerful officers were arriving as well and the current number of infected were being dealt with at a quicker pace with the amount of reinforcements arriving.

Over a thousand AI bots were also being deployed from a massive aircraft that had just arrived in the sky.

It seemed having a high rank in the MBO was truly noteworthy seeing how much reinforcements was being sent due to Gradier Xanatus request.

In just a matter of minutes more than ten thousand reinforcements of different kinds had arrived from the MBO and more were still said to be on their way.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Explosives were being dropped on the infected that were still alive from several aircraft as well.
