Online Game: Starting With SSS-Ranked Summons-Chapter 414: Speeding up plans

Arthur faced his assembled forces inside the headquarters.

The fifteen captains stood at attention, waiting for Arthur’s next commands.

They were ready, willing and capable.

"Each of you will take ten or more of the new awakeners," Arthur commanded. "Utilize the demon rifts to level up and increase your collective strength. Your strength will increase faster because of the guild’s experience boost you all have now."

"Once a rift closes, find another. Do not rest for long, you must be engaged in comabt as long possible. I want continuous advancement from you."

"This is an opportunity that you cannot miss. The demons are delivering their people on a platter of gold. So never feel full, always stay hungry!" He said, his eyes landing on each face.

Sarah raised her hand with a question. "Sir, what’s our operational timeline?"

"Indefinite. This is your primary mission until further notice."

Arthur’s tone carried finality that discouraged additional questions.

His perception detected their curiosity about his urgency, but explanations would waste precious time.

"Jax’s team handles transportation duties. You focus on power advancement. Also, don’t worry about Jax’s team. If they pressure any of you into their teams, ignore them."

The captains nodded understanding. Their minds processed the implications—Arthur was delegating long-term operations while pursuing personal objectives.

"Do you have any questions?"

The room remained silent.

Understood. Accepted. Ready for deployment.

Arthur’s smile was sharp with satisfaction. His forces were positioned, his objectives clear, his timeline accelerating.

Phase one complete.

The captains filed out with military bearing, their enhanced capabilities evident in every movement. Soon they would be leading teams across Michigan, turning dimensional rifts into training grounds.

After the group departed, Gates remained in the conference room. His business suit looked incongruous among the displays, but his expression carried some concern that

Arthur spotted.

"What’s wrong Gates?" Arthur said, looking at him.

"Arthur, my daughter is still in Armageddon. She had logged in from the mansion, and I need to return to the mansion." Gates’s voice carried some worry. "You know about the twelve-hour limit."

"She’s strong, i’ve also placed with her some bodyguards who are also beta players, but you know a father’s heart." Gates continued.

Arthur nodded with immediate understanding. Family transcended strategic considerations—a principle he lived by completely.

Family first. Always family first.

"Okay, I understand. You should bring your daughter close to you in such a dangerous time. Do you need any help with that?" Arthur asked, though his perception already detected the answer.

Gates scratched his face with nervous energy. "If Aether could teleport me there, it would be appreciated."

Simple request. Easy accommodation.

Arthur nodded before turning toward his shoulder companion. "Aether, Gates needs to meet his daughter. I want you to take him there, okay?"

The void dragon perked up with enthusiasm. "Yes, Master!"

Arthur’s smile carried genuine warmth rubbing Arther’s scales affectionately. "Good dragon."

The dragon was always down for everything.

Gates provided the coordinates of his mansion immediately. "Northeast, approximately forty kilometers from here."

"Got it!" Aether announced cheerfully before jumping on Gate’s shoulders.

"See you, master!" Aether waved.

"See you," Arthur replied with a wry smile.

Reality folded around them as spatial manipulation activated on a small scale. The familiar sensation of dimensional travel carried them away from the headquarters.

Arthur watched both disappear.

Arthur had remained because unfinished business demanded attention. His strategic mind had opportunities that required immediate exploitation.

He activated his summoning talent. Dark portals materialized around his position like flowers blooming in fast-forward.

The epic-rank demons emerged through dimensional tears, their massive forms immediately assuming positions of absolute submission.

Sixteen creatures capable of destruction knelt before him like obedient hounds.

Arthur pointed toward the large military vans that were transporting his captain-led teams across Detroit. "I want you all to accompany those vehicles. Ensure nothing goes wrong during their operations."

"Help others along the way—when you can, when it matters," he said without looking back. Then, after a pause, his tone shifted—firmer. "As for the ones inside the vehicle, stay out of it unless someone’s seconds from death."

His gaze sharpened, leaving no room for debate. "They need to struggle. To earn their survival. I won’t have them growing soft just because you’re there to fix everything. They’ve already earned some help."

Growth is stimulated through struggle. Advancement through effort. Without those, they will become useless.

"Yes, Master," they responded in unison, their voices carrying perfect obedience.

Arthur’s smile widened with satisfaction as his troop deployment continued. His forces would protect his people while enabling their advancement.

"Alright. Go."

Meanwhile... Inside Gates’s Estate

Aether’s teleportation landed them outside an imposing mansion whose grounds told stories of recent violence. Demon corpses littered the manicured lawns like grotesque sculptures, their corrupted forms already beginning to rot.

The defense of the hous was clearly successful.

"This is the place?" Aether glanced around with curious eyes.

"Yes, it is. Thank you for the ride, Aether." Gates nodded, stepping carefully over the scattered remains.

Despite the clear violence, he wasn’t worried about his daughter. She was safe in Armageddon.

The estate’s defensive capabilities were evident in the placement of demon corpses. Crossfire patterns, chokepoint utilization, coordinated elimination zones—someone had turned luxury architecture into military advantage.

As they approached the main entrance, enhanced figures emerged from concealed positions. Beta players with weapons drawn, their targeting systems already locked onto the approaching figures.

"HALT! IDENTIFY YOUR—" The lead bodyguard’s spell began forming before recognition dawned. "Mr. Gates!

Weapons lowered immediately as corporate security shifted into protective formation around their employer.

"Sir, we were expecting your return," the captain reported. "Perimeter secured, many demon incursions repelled, zero casualties among personnel."

Gates surveyed the defensive preparations with obvious satisfaction. "Excellent work. Continue monitoring protocols."

He activated his dimensional ring, reality shimmering around him as transportation activated. "I’ll return momentarily with Tiana."

Aether settled onto the steps with childlike patience. The bodyguards maintained professional distance while studying the primordial dragon with obvious fascination.

Fifteen seconds later, Gates materialized. Shortly after him, another figure materialised beside him.
