Chapter 4766 Disappeared

　　Just as Yenames Clive finished consulting with his speechwriters who hastily drafted together a speech that amplified the themes of his earlier words, another alert soon pulled him out of his deliberations.

　　"What is the matter, Yorick!"

　　"Our guests… a third of the VIPs that we have invited have been abducted under our noses."

　　"Are you jesting?!"

　　Yenames Clive quickly called up the relevant feeds. Of the 24 surviving seating blocks that remained intact, 8 of them that happened to retreat towards the south or west direction had lost all of their occupants!

　　Both the invited guests as well as the guards had disappeared from all of the sensors!

　　"Where did they go?! Who took them away?!"

　　"Our men are still searching for answers, but the evidence so far suggests that they have been teleported to an unknown location with the use of exotic alien technology."

　　When President Yenames Clive rewatched the log recordings, he couldn't figure out how the individuals disappeared so easily. It was as if they simultaneously entered a doorway that led into darkness!

　　The reason why it became possible for a third party to disappear so many VIPs at once was because the spatial interdiction field generators still hadn't been brought back online.

　　"Secure the remaining VIPs! And restore the interdiction fields!"

　　"Our engineers are working on it. The team working on the power supply report that they are able to reactivate a generator in less than a single minute."

　　"That is already far too late!"

　　If the unleas.h.i.+ng of rogue and maddened warbeasts into the Government District could still be salvaged, then the disappearance of over a third of the most influential and strategically important elites of Davute was a catastrophe!

　　This latest turn of events not only drained President Yenames Clive of all hope, but also caused his strongest bodyguard to get shocked into silence.

　　Saint Yorvick actually experienced much greater turmoil than he should have! All of the plans he had considered alongside a small group of informed individuals never mentioned anything about making so many crucial figures disappear at once!

　　It was one thing to kill off the occupants of just 3 out of the 26 seating blocks. The fact that one of them inadvertently got saved by the Shotgun Shogun's favorable positioning did not materially affect the consequences of this event.

　　The story was different if a lot more people than that disappeared at once!

　　The plan to shake Davute awake and unite all of its citizens against Karlach never accounted for that many losses!

　　If the sudden displacement of thousands of executives, mech designers and senior military officers could not be resolved in a short amount of time, then all h.e.l.l would break loose!

　　The government authorities weren't the only ones who had noticed the strange and unannounced disappearance of so many important VIPs.

　　Several mechs hailing from various family organizations and mercenary outfits flew towards the center plaza.

　　Now that the last of the rampaging warbeasts had just been subdued, it was no longer necessary for the mechs to remain on guard, at least according to these organizations.

　　They were much more concerned with the disappearance of their leaders!

　　"Where are they, president?!"

　　"You failed to protect our elders, Davute!"

　　"Why has your ace knight mech been doing nothing all of this time?! Your Saint could have stopped the attackers from kidnapping our leaders!"

　　The mechs brazenly broadcasted the furious complaints and recriminations from the representatives of the groups that suffered enormously from the disappearances.

　　The amount of mechs that joined the crowd rose quickly as the news spread like wildfire.

　　Even in the midst of all of the deaths and tragedies that took place in the crown jewel of the new colonial state, the various groups were solely concerned about their own losses!
