The Sleeping Giant

  Time: 20h after the Start of the invasion of Terius / Location: 24km away from Alina and Anja

  At the beginning of the day 3 figure emerged from a cave in the middle of the mountain, if someone saw them they would think they where looking at the Machine God and his follower , metallic body's withe glowing green eyes and no trace of organic material. While two of them had something that looked like a weapon in form of a rifle in there hands , the last robot had nothing like this and instead an device on his back, whose function remains to be seen.

  Persio looks through the sensors of the helper he had send to the surface. He was standing at an entrance to a cave withe his two guard troops, as he looked in to the distance he could see smoke rising from some kind of settlement while he was standing in the middle of mountains , he could also see ships hanging in orbit of the planet .

  Withe this he came to the conclusion that the planet must have been colonized in the time the system was offline which was unacceptable in his opinion how can any low live species even think about coming near to this system let alone colonize it wither there dirty Existence.

  Now having a better understanding of the situation he started withe the construction of an outpost and started sending scout troops in every direction from the cave to map out the area and also to look after defenses of the settlement while getting as much information about this species living on his ground.

  That moment hundreds of robots came out of the cave and spread out in any direction while drones started and did the same , the Robot who left first withe his two bodyguards put down his backpack and the construction began. Out of the backpack came some kind of dust that moved on his own and everywhere the dust was buildings and defenses started to appear from the smallest sandbag defense to gigantic gun emplacements and bunkers , at the same time the dust , what in realty where just nanobots , did his work ,even more robots left the cave and started withe the installation of the guns in the emplacements and the construction of a defending system consisting out of trenches , tunnels and supply points .

  This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it.

  And when that wasn't enough to let the even the biggest army look at them withe fear , between the Robots that left for the construction of the defenses even more came withe the same backpack as the first Robot who left the cave. They spread out in every corner of the mountains followed by even more construction robots.

  In the time Persio began the construction in the mountains in secret , the people in the town near the mountains had completely different problems...

  In a small side street in the middle of the city a mother could be seen running with her child. She only has one task left: to bring the child to safety, but her path is also covered with many obstacles.

  Immediately after the attack on the city began, Alina and her daughter set out to reach one of the shelters. While she was running with her, Alina heard the shots getting louder and louder, which meant that they had to move even faster to reach the safety. However, when she turned the last corner, she saw that there were thousands of people standing in front of the shelter. When she wanted to go to them, she saw that slaves not only had to make way for the citizens, but were also being mobilized for defense. Given the masses of people in front of the shelter and the increasingly loud sounds of war, it was very unlikely that they would make it to safety on time.

  Despite her low hopes, she still tried her luck that the guards might show some compassion for a mother and her child, regardless of whether they were a citizen or a slave. As she stood in front of the guards with her daughter, along with many others, she pushed her way to the front and asked the first guard she saw: "I beg you, please let me and my daughter in." When the person saw that they were not only not of his own species, but just a couple of inferior slaves, he angrily raised his shock baton and beat them,saying what they think they are thinking they have any right to live wile the citizen died.

  As Alina lay on the ground, clutching her daughter to protect her from the blows, there on the ground suffering pain, there was only one emotion in her head besides the love for her daughter: hatred, hatred of the figure that hit her, hatred of the people who only watched, hatred of the people who had enslaved her, hatred of the father who had left her daughter behind, hatred of all those who robbed her of her happiness and enriched themselves with it and ultimately hatred for her own powerlessness.
