"This operation will be split into three phases. First, I will take out communication and the command structure of Africa's militaries and law enforcent. Phase one begins with the mass assassinations of Onye's human lackeys.
"The Awakened, Soulless, and Vela's Wolves will take point on this. In that chaos, the Sirens will begin phase two. Our primary targets are the 27 princes and their retinues. We will abduct and coerce them to attack vital installations of Onye's faction."
'Shattered Silence is such a cool na. But Exa, she says "coerce," but I'm guessing the girls are just going to have Jo hamr {Thrall} into them, right?'
[Yes, my lord. For Wraiths, the Sirens will use [Whisper]. Phantoms will be subjugated and taken to lady Jo for brainwashing. As a bonus, the ladies also plan to give them your blood for {Sins of Limitless}.]
'Figured,' I thought in passing.
{Sins of Limitless} was the upgraded version of {Kill Switch}. The original had a huge flaw. It needed a target to invoke my {Kist} {Call my na}. This was fixed by {Sins of Limitless}. Now? Anyone who drank my blood could be killed at will because of Exa.
The slides again changed to show a bunch of kids and a pregnant woman. They all didn't look like Reapers. The children, for one, were barely teenagers.
"These are the secondary targets of phase two. The Awakened and Vela's Wolves will hunt and eliminate the targets. Their main task is to create a fake trail incriminating the rival factions. Once completed, they will resu their original tasks."
"As for the princes, they will serve as our disposable units. The Seraphs of Satis will accompany them, but only as support. Should they fail to destroy a target, we will have them commit suicide on the spot. Any still alive will move to the last target."
Bella then showed a warehouse of so sort. It contained a large amount of soulgear. There were hundreds of potions, supplies, and what looked like soul crystals. The warehouse had a large number of soldiers and guards who I believed were reapers.
"By this point, the Seraphs will retreat. This is the largest supply cache of the ENSAE army. A Specter guards it. The Lion of Sheba. He will make succeeding difficult, but phases one and two are rely diversions. Misdirecting the attention is already a victory."
The screen changed again. This ti it showed an empty area. A desert to be exact.
"Finally, we co to phase three. This is the Danakil Depression, the place where His Majesty the Immortal's castle resides. It is protected by nine Specters. Phase one and two are all to isolate the capital as much as possible.
"The success of our final assault depends on whether we trick the two African factions into a civil war. With no human infrastructure, the African Reapers will be slow to react. All our forces will take advantage of this and reconvene outside the Danakil Depression.
"Prince Amari, Matriarch Zanele. You have until that mont to gather as many of your people as possible. We would need roughly seventeen hours for phases one and two to be completed. Once we begin, Hell's Eden will not stop for anything."
Bella glossed over many specifics. But I could see how we would execute this plan. Bella would use {Shutdown} on Africa's networks, and Lilly's {Portals} would allow our forces to rapidly blitz the targets and run away. This operation would show the strengths of my girls.
Amari stood up and replied to Bella's announcent, "I understand; I will do my best."
Bella then once again changed the slide. It now showed a beautiful city view. One shrouded in moonlight. The buildings looked Egyptian. It looked creepy as fuck, but at the sa ti eerily serene.
"This is where our final battle will take place. The true capital of Africa. The city of the Dead or Duat, the Egyptian underworld. In mythology, it is said one needed to travel on Ra's boat to get there. In reality, the Duat opens at specific tis when the sun rises in the afternoon.
"We do not have such restrictions. The entrance to the City of the Dead is in the Danakil Depression. We will assault the place at night, when they least expect it. Ah, I almost forgot. Demonkin are currently besieging Africa. There are forty Specters at war with them all over the continent.
"The countries of our targets are among the areas protected by the Specter groups. There are a few, like Somalia, South Sudan and Congo, that are not. By adding to the chaos, we will cause Africa's defenses to fail. Prince Amari, use this fact to decide what to do you. Don't waste it."
I couldn't help but gasp in awe at the plan of my harem. It was ticulous to the last detail. The info ca from what might have been a bit of a sketchy source. But what they did with it—this step-by-step plan was impressive.
If all goes well, we wouldn't have to worry about the capital receiving reinforcents. Everyone would run around like headless chickens, trying to figure out what was going on.
The slide changed again and showed Onye's ugly mug.
"As for the mastermind behind this entire thing, he will be left to our lord, Limitless. The Sirens and I will pave the way for him. After the royal chief Onyebuchi Ndekwu is dead, we will work with the Awakened to cleanse the malice from the Revenant of Africa."
As Bella ended her presentation, the Seven Sirens lined up in front. They looked like pets waiting for a treat. The girls kept their promise. They turned my vague orders into a plan. One we could execute for real. Imnsely grateful to my girls, I couldn't help myself.
"{Blink}."
Shifting from my seat to in front of the Sirens, I began to embrace them one by one.
"Well done, my precious {Kindred}. What would I ever do without you?"
Perhaps happy with my blatant praise, the girls made gorgeous smiles. They all threw themselves at . And I caught them one by one. For a few monts, I enjoyed kissing my girls. I then turned to the rest of the people in the room.
"Operation Shattered Silence begins tomorrow. Amari, use this ti to think about what actions you wish to take. In the interest of confidentiality, none of you will be permitted to leave the room. If you are in need of anything, you may call on Yvonne or Juno."
He stood up and perford a Hellsend salute. "I understand. Thank you. We'll be ready."
I then turned to my forces, "Any of you people need to leave, just go out yourselves. Make sure none of you bastards are late tomorrow," I joked.
"Yeah, yeah boss. Go ahead; we'll be here." "Like Mike said, nigga, now that I got my boo here, I got everything I need!" "Warren! There are other people here! Stop it!" "Yo, seriously, you two need to go get a tree or whatever, stop flexing on us singles, fr."
Although there were also unexpected developnts.
"Miss Aisha, I don't know if you rember , but I wanted to thank you for saving the other day. Would it be all right if I could keep you company?"
"Prince Olamide, of course, I would be delighted. Please just call Aisha."
The regular crew, who had fought many battles with , were not perturbed at all. It was the more imposing monsters we called the Awakened that were.
"Ah! I wish it's tomorrow already! Juno, let's mate!"
"No! Can't you see we're in public!"
"What about the rest of you? Does anyone want to relieve so stress?"
But before I could comnt further, I felt the back of my coat being pulled. I turned around and saw seven won looking at with glassy eyes and sultry, seductive smiles.
'Exa.'
[Go my lord, I will tell everyone where you left. Please do try to return by tomorrow.]
"Thanks. {Portal}!"
