Chapter 928: Roles
Erik walked away from the Red Palace, his mind processing all that had been said. He now had a clearer picture of the situation.
As he moved through the streets of New Alexandria toward the train station, his thoughts turned to Mira, Emily, Amber, and June, waiting for him at Mr. Fox's farm.
There was a lot to discuss with them-the details of his meeting with the Resistance, any new discoveries they had made in his absence, and his plan to rescue Richard Stone.
He also needs to replenish his supply of clone eggs.
Erik altered his appearance as he got out of the building, transforming his face and features just enough to be unrecognizable to any onlookers.
When he arrived at the train station, he moved with purpose but without drawing attention, sticking to the edges of the platforms and boarding the first train that would take him to the farm fields.
His mind was already miles away, seeing the farm that had now become his group's base of operations.
As the train pulled out of the station, Erik wondered if he would be able to save Richard, knowing that would not be easy.
The Grand Ducal Prison was Volkov's den, heavily guarded and rigged with defenses of all kinds.
However, the intelligence and help the resistance was going to provide gave Erik hope they could pull this off soon. If they coordinated their efforts well, they could succeed.
With that thought, Erik gazed out the train window as the city faded into the distance.

Erik walked through the farmhouse door, weary from his journey. Amber turned from the kitchen counter to greet him.
"Erik, you're back!" she said with a smile.
"Yes, I am."
"Did you find them?"
Erik remained silent for a moment. "You both make valuable points. But as for this team of blackguards, I think its better if I take care of this on my own."
"And what about us?"
"Yes. I need the clone to keep an eye on the Chimaeric Demons' eggs. This is an important part of our plan. If we increase our numbers, it will be unlikely we will lose this war. Also, I need June to act as my bridge with the resistance regarding a particular thing. I promised the resistance to supply brain crystal rifles to them. So, the first thing June needs to do is to head back to Liberty watch and explain the situation, then manage the supply chain. About that, Van Dyke told me he is going to prepare something that would allow us to give them what they need without trouble. The Red Palace is going to build a tunnel to make this possible."
June nodded. "Consider it done, master."
Erik turned to Emily. "Once we have a plan for dealing with the Blackguards, the resistance will assist us in breaking your father out of prison. I don't know how much it will take, but the sooner we act, the higher are the resistance chances to find something about Richard. About that, I need you to work with them. They will tell you what they need from you."
Emily smiled, hope returning to her eyes. "Thank you, Erik. I knew coming to you for help was the right decision."
Erik returned her smile. "We're in this together. Richard will be free soon; I promise you that." He looked at each of his companions in turn.
"Where do you plan to start searching for this Blackguard team?" Amber asked.
Erik pondered the question.
"I was actually thinking about infiltrating the army, but I will need to select my target carefully, so, a trip to the town hall is mandatory."
"The town hall has plenty of guards and patrols surrounding it," Amber said.
"Wouldn't it be better to assassinate Volkov if you have to go there?" Mira asked.
Erik shook his head.
"Assassinating Volkov would likely be the simplest way to deal a blow to the Blackguards, and
I would get my revenge," Erik said.
"However, his forces would still search for someone to blame. It is likely they would execute Richard and other prisoners to show retribution."
Emily shuddered. Erik glanced at her. "Gathering intelligence on the Blackguards and neutralizing them reduces Richard's risk. We must make this look like as we are not involved
in all of this."
Erik turned back to Mira and Amber. "Once we free Richard, taking care of Volkov will become much easier, since we will be able to move freely."
