The simple mission of saving Arthur\'s sister, Guinevere, was not so simple.

Even in the initial missions of how the Council of the Wicked infiltrated the fortresses and mingled with Pioneers and Planteds, the information of Guinevere was not revealed!

Traces of her being brought to Egypt was nowhere to be found. If not for the fact that Lennox and Arthur had already deduced that this was where Guinevere was hidden, the team would have believed her to be elsewhere.

But Lennox and Arthur were firm. Seeker\'s memories also proved this fact to be true.

For some reason, Guinevere was so important that Andronze valued her very existence to be equal with the body of Seth!

It was as if her presence was kept a secret from everyone.

At that point, the Council of the Wicked changed its plans. They knew that they would get nothing if they kept poking around. And so, they began to gain the trust of Andronze herself.

The threats of Hermes and the potential attacks of the Progenitor were the biggest issues at hand.

But under the subtle takeover of the Council of the Wicked, many attacks from the Desert Empires were halted.

Lowengren took command of the entire army in the battle, and strange tactics were used and forced the armies to retreat.

Many armies issued a surrender and waited for the Desert Army forces to capture them. But then, the Egyptians would attack and kill many of these Desert Army forces.

This happened three times. Lowengren used deception after deception by faking sudden attacks from the Progenitor, sudden infighting between two Pillars of Egypt, and what the Desert Army thought to be a Locust Swarm malfunction.

The eccentric ways of Lowengren resolved most of these issues.

Next was the vampire plague in the lower regions of Egypt.

Harker, Vender, and Gardo were in charge and managed to lead the vampires and defeat them in what most Egyptians now call the Battle of the Coolest.

Two individuals fought and led a regiment of soldiers to fight with jaw-dropping coolness and somehow captured the vampires and even the main source of the vampire, which was identified as a \'failed prototype of the Progenitor."

Of course, the reality was that Akasha had allowed the two to defeat them and sent most of the uncontrollable excess of newly turned vampires to their deaths and pretended to be captured.

When those three were in place, Arthur finally unveiled the many planted evidence they made when they started the invasion.

Suddenly, all the appearances and the disappearances of the Presiders that pretended to be from the future came to light, and it was proven that it was Presider Shakstress\'s men.

Many Pioneers were found to have successfully infiltrated Egypt, and soon, Arthur presented the one truth, along with Lowengren, Harker, Gardo, and Vender.

Shackstress was believed to have pursued a power she detected deep inside Egypt.

The news caused Andronze to become even more cautious and created numerous protocols.

Arthur and Lowengren hoped that such a plan would cause Andronze to panic and reveal the secret fortresses in Egypt. And while Andronze trusted these men enough to show them the numerous hidden forces that even most Pioneers and Planteds didn\'t know, it wasn\'t enough for them to gain access to a secret ship.

But Andronze revealed a secret ship deep inside Egypt. She made secrets to cover up secrets so that the Presiders that dared try to sneak in would be unable to find them.

It took more time for the team to find its location.

But now, there was a problem. The people guarding the ship were believed to have been cultivated, born, and bred solely to occupy and protect the ship.

Even Arthur and his team could not predict just what type of people would be tasked to guard it. But from their findings, they could tell that it was definitely humans and not some AI as the need to create and leave food in certain places underground Egypt was done.

Soon, more details emerged about this secret ship.

The ship would be able to communicate with Andronze directly, and Andronze could do the same. And this meant that any attempts or even lies and truths that Lownengren or Harker could use would still alert Andronze.

And so, the plot of the Plagues was met. The plan was to somehow threaten and scare Andronze into thinking that various teams were trying to find her secret ship.

Arthur followed the role he predicted even when he had infiltrated Egypt for the first time. And that was that he would remain to use his power to predict the future and make estimates that would force Andronze to cut ties and all forms of communication with this secret ship.

Lowengren charged forward and arrived at a strange massive altar in the deepest parts of a certain fortress.

"Open up! We have an emergency!" Lowengren shouted.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

Using his Exoskeleton, Lowengren made powerful knocks on the strange altar.

"Presider Andronze told me this is the place! I have to deliver her commands!" Lowengren shouted.

There was silence.

"Open up! I am one of Presider Andronze\'s preserved team! The Presider ordered you to cut off all communications with her! You cant send or receive! We were the contingency if ever she would face the battles outside!" Lowengren shouted.

After making a tantrum, Lowengren waited.

After a few seconds, he would knock again and repeat what he had just said.

The strange altar was actually the top portion and the entrance into a long winding elevator that moved to the main portion of the ship.

Those at the ship had seen Lowengren\'s actions and were startled.

Everything he had just claimed was true.

Andronze just gave them the orders when the Plague began to occur. The attacks happened on all fronts and even within Egypt. This proved that there may have been more spies than she had initially thought. And so, she gave orders to hide any signal at all and invoked a total silence protocol so that no Presider can ever trace it back to them.

Suddenly, another Exoskeleton arrived.

"What?! You still haven\'t gotten in?!" Gardo arrived.

"I can\'t! They won\'t let me! I tried telling them everything, but these idiots won\'t believe me!"

"WHAT?!" Gardo cursed and rushed towards the altar and punched it.

"Are! You! Idiots!" Gardo began.

"People are dying left and right! The Presiders are clearly leading this, and it\'s clear they are headed for this place! This place has been compromised! Let me in! Let me in!" Gardo demanded.

Deep underground was a massive monster. It looked like a huge snake on the outside and didn\'t look robotic. But the inside of this creature was a ship. And it had docked itself on this particular elevator and waited.

"Idiots?! How did we know of this place? How do we know of Presider\'s protocols?!" Gardo shouted.

"Exactly! These are our orders! She never thought you\'d be too dumb to realize this!" Lowengren shouted again.

"What?! You guys are still not inside?!" Harker arrived as fireworks and bombs exploded behind him.

"Damn you two! I wanted to make a cool entrance! But you haven\'t gotten in yet!" Harker cursed.

"It isn\'t our fault! These idiots won\'t let us get in!"

"Open up! Open up!" Gardo began, and Harker followed.

"Nice! You guys waited for me!" Vender cheered as he arrived.

"I forgot the password! So now we can all go together!"

"Idiot, there was no password! The idiots under the ship won\'t let us in!"

"What? Why not?! Hey! You idiots inside! Listen up, you idiots! This is plan B! Presider had long prepared for this, but you idiots aren\'t following with the plan!"

"ALRIGHT!" Suddenly, an enraged voice called to them.

"Alright! We believe you! What do you have to report?"

"Report?! Are you idiots?! Get us inside now!" Vender shouted angrily, and the doors finally opened.

The outer layer of the strange massive altar opened up, and it revealed an elevator.

The group moved in, and the doors began to close.

Back underground, the various people piloting the massive snake were all having pained expressions at what they did. All of them looked like Andronze. They were born and raised inside the ship and never even left it. They all called Andronze mother as they were made from her cells.

"Are you sure of this?" One of the younger members asked.

"I don\'t know! But they do have a point! Who else knows of this place? And the battles outside are becoming more intense! This ship has to dive deeper!"

"Whatever the case, it\'s done. They are headed here. We just need to secure Seth and the Mana, and we should be safe. Let\'s prepare to meet them. They don\'t have any technologies that can kill us anyway." One of the Commanders ordered.

Everyone nodded in agreement and moved to meet them.

Lowengren and the team waited in the elevator.

"Truth and Lies, Foolishness and Vexation. I wonder if this will be enough?" Lowengren sighed.

"Indeed. We can\'t do anything yet until we secure them." Harker chuckled.

"So how are you guys going to lie and tell truths out of this? And how can our paths help? We don\'t know what lies behind these doors." Gardo pondered.

"We just wing it!" Vender gave a thumbs up.

"That\'s right. We wing it. That\'s what we were formed to do and who we should become. This makes us the most unlikely of spies and the deadliest enemies."

The door began to open, and Lowengren saw all waiting and noticed that they all looked like Andronze.

"Everyone! I, your father, am here!" Loewngren declared.
