Molly finally put her mind at ease. After lunch, she went on to treat the remaining wounded.
In the afternoon, ships began to dock at the pier one by one. Tony busied himself with arranging the
evacuation of the wounded and sending people to the bombed pier to guide the masses to the piers
built by the Grandset.
At first, the crowd was hesitant to trust the Grandset. But with gentle persuasion, more and more
people slowly made their way toward the piers.
"Don't worry. We'll ensure everyone's safety. No one will be left behind." Tony's voice boomed through
the loudspeaker as he played his recorded message on repeat.
He hoped to calm the anxious crowd.
When they saw the ships on the horizon, some people were convinced and joined in persuading the
others.
"Everyone, please move quickly."
Tony watched as the crowd boarded the ship in an orderly fashion, barking commands from the side.
Time was running out before the bomb exploded. They needed to hurry or risk leaving people stranded
on the island.
Thankfully, everyone was cooperative, and within two or three hours, the second group of evacuees
was safely on board.With a wave of Tony's hand, ship after ship set sail from piers built by the Grandset.
As he watched them disappear into the distance, Tony let out a deep sigh of relief.
Meanwhile, on a ship bobbing in the middle of the sea, Ward stood on deck, scanning the horizon with
his binoculars.
When a ship came into view, he sneered with disdain.
He would catch everyone from the Grandset.
Just then, one of his men came over.
"Lord, they opened two docks for the residents to evacuate."
Ward lowered his binoculars with a smug look on his face." Just as I expected."
As he had suspected, the people from the Grandset would not leave the islanders behind.
Since his enemy had revealed their hand, it would be remiss of him not to seize the opportunity.
"Bring me my phone," he commanded.
The man soon brought the phone to Ward and watched him contact their comrades who were still on
the island.
"It's time to make your move," he instructed.
Those men at the base sprang into action, dispatching their forces to the two exposed docks.
"We'll be here waiting for the good news."Ward handed his binoculars to the subordinate. He gazed up at the clear blue sky and exclaimed,
"What good weather today!"
His mood mirrored the sunny skies above.
He had been outmaneuvered by the Grandset. Now there was finally a chance for him to get back at
them.
If he succeeded, he would return to the Union with glory.
Ward's spirits lifted at the thought, but what he didn't know was that Sean had received word of their
actions.
"Sir, they've made their move," Tony reported as soon as he received the message from their spies
within the base.
Sean nodded. "I see. I'll inform our allies. You can go ahead with your business."
After Tony left, Sean dialed a number.
"The base has acted," he said directly as soon as the line connected.
"Excellent," came the gruff reply from the other end. "We are ready."
"It won't be easy. Make sure to protect the civilians," Sean cautioned.
The one on the other end of the phone chuckled. "Don't worry. We'll protect them with our lives."
