"Good, what is Athena doing?" Aron inquired about Athena's course of action. historical

[She ordered for the other soldiers to start retreating in order to avoid any casualties when the fight starts and also to leave the 50 members to make their moves without worrying about endangering their fellow soldiers unnecessarily]

[As for the helicopters, she had already loaded them with "that direction remover" and sent them to the water side of the borders. She also has ordered our navy vehicles to start retreating, since they would end up as needless casualties as a result of the upcoming fight] Nova reported Athena's plan of action.

"What about the evacuation, how is it going?" Aron asked about the fate of the normal soldiers who had been sent there to act as a response to the other side's increasing provocations.

[Since we only sent those who had previous military experience, the evacuation is going better than if we had sent inexperienced personnel in their places] Nova reported back.

"Good, now show me what is going on in the fields," Aron said as he put on the glasses and returned to lying back as he logged in to the VR. A moment later, Aron found himself inside a massive building that had what looked like thousands of people looking at different feeds, systems and data, all reporting to Athena whenever they found something important for her to make decisions based on the intel they were providing.

In front of Aron were two massive screens that showed the information on the ongoing situation at the borders, displaying the movements of the Esparian soldiers as if there were informants among them. However, all of this information was being collected by one powerful system known as "Henry's eyes" which was being flown by two drones that were circulating the two border regions Eden shared with Esparia, areas which had a massive military presence.

The name "Henry's Eyes" was inspired from his younger brother because the engineers had gotten the inspiration from the data of how Henry's eyes had evolved and thanks to that, they managed to build the tech that replaced the radar technology in the military.

This tech was already integrated into almost every device that needed a detection method. The glasses and other VR devices had been using this tech to get access to data from the real world, the same could be said for the military headgear, all the way to the inside of helicopters, eliminating the need for radars and other traditional sensors in them.

The tech worked by creating a bubble with it at the center, collecting every bit of data within that bubble which is then collected, which was then analyzed and displayed by the device, giving one an unprecedented amount of information and the capability of viewing the information from any point of view as long as it is within the bubble.

"They are really planning on bulldozing through us and continue moving to take over the whole island before they move to the other island and take over them," Aron murmured as he observed the number of soldiers that were stationed behind the borders.

[Yes, after hacking into their government system, this is just the beginning of their plans and some of their plans even include the complete takeover of Eden] Nova reported.

"When was this plan uploaded into their system?" Aron asked, wanting to see the timeline of how these events had come to be.

[It was logged minutes ago before I woke you up] Nova reported.

"Any hint about who might have given them the boldness to make such large movements?" Aron asked knowing that Esparia wouldn't have made the move by themselves.

[I suspect it to be the Morgans, during last week's flight that was heading from America to Esparia, the devices on the plane connected to our internet infrastructure, allowing me to receive information about the devices inside the plane.

Strangely, despite most of the devices being powered by using GAIA OS, a few of them weren't using it, which was strange, So, I decided to investigate them and found out that one of them was working for the Morgans.

I had his information when I was collecting data about their plans against the Rothschilds, So, I immediately placed a bug on his phone before it got out of range and although throughout his visit he kept the phone powered off, the bug I put on his phone continued collecting location data.

And after he powered the phone back on after returning to America, I received a summary of the locations, which also included the residences of powerful people in Esparia and many of them have their names included in the uploaded plan] Nova lengthy reported.

"So it's them again," Aron smiled when he heard the name, immediately realizing what they were planning to do with this war. When Rina visited to bring him the tritium he had requested. She had informed him about it during that period and also warned him to be careful.

[They have started moving] Nova informed Aron. At the same time, the room that was filled with people started getting chaotic as the screen displayed the moving soldiers who had started trespassing into the border into Eden, officially starting their invasion plan.

....

"Time to get to work, boys," the team leader of the fifty remaining members on the now empty base said as Athena immediately uploaded the information into their headgears as they were already fully geared with all the tech a soldier would need.

They immediately started walking towards the group of soldiers that were ten kilometers away from them and this continued until they were about five kilometers from the convoy of soldiers. The convoy stopped, allowing the fifty soldiers to lie on the ground and start aiming, waiting for the other side to start making their moves. At the same time, Athena was informing the soldiers as to why the convoy stopped.

"BOOOOOOOM" And the answer came right after, as shells started falling on the base that they had left empty.

[Now you have the justification to fire back] Athena spoke into their ears in a tone that showed her excitement, finally, she was getting the chance to put into practice in real life what she had been training for her whole life in the simulation.

Her excitement caused the soldiers who heard it to have goosebumps over their bodies.
