Release That Succubus



The idea took root in her very being and she became obsessed with increasing her power by any means possible. The more she came into contact with Zach, the more her power began to skyrocket and the more confident she became. Therefore, she didn't agree with Harry Potter's choice at the end of the story. If she had been in his place, she would have definitely kept the Elder wand for herself. After all, Harry did deserve its ownership after taking down the greatest dark mage of all time.

Zach had expected a debate of this magnitude already. Therefore, he had been waiting for a good occasion like this to end the story so as to avoid attracting the unending questions of the audience. He hoped that they would discuss it with each other instead of chasing him down the street to find out what happened after.

Although there were still some people who didn't understand what 'no questions' meant. But Zach didn't turn down anyone who raised their hands to ask a question.

"What happened to Hagrid at the end?" asked one of the soldiers who had been a fan of the character from the very beginning.

Zach couldn't understand why someone would be so interested in Hagrid instead of the other characters but he didn't refuse the question and was about to answer to the best of his capabilities when the transparent screen in front of him began to flash red and a high pitch alarm rang in his ears which successfully distracted his attention from the question.

Zach immediately commanded the system to show him the map. The mini map at the bottom of the screen enlarged and filled his sight complete. There were several huge dots coming towards the island from all directions as it to block all exits. The red dots spots were exceptionally large as if several smaller dots had congregated together to form the large size dots. Therefore, he assumed that there were several groups of enemies attacking from all sides this time.

Thankfully for him, the attack was going to take place while he was still on Greenland. He was more than prepared to take on any threat on his home turf. He immediately pulled open the live video footage of the drones supervising the entire island. 

Not a single corner of the island was a blind area for these drones. As such, Zach could easily find out the number of enemies and their approximate strength from the video.

The footage showed several ships headed towards Greenland at a fast pace. They looked like they were up to no good at the first glance.

The Smith family had put in their blood and sweat in clearing out the whole island and considered this place their home. 

Zach wasn't going to tolerate an invasion on such a large scale. He planned to thoroughly and overwhelmingly exterminate these people so no one would ever dare to barge into his home without considering the consequences.

His approach though looked extreme on the surface wasn't a big deal in fact. It would allow him to kill one in order to warn the many fools who would no doubt try to test the might of his forces in the future.

He called for a soldier by curling his finger while his gaze was fully focused on the screen that showed him the various live videos of the approaching enemies.

"Issue a level 1 alert for all. No civilian is to come out of the mansion until further orders."

The soldier immediately rushed away towards a guard post located at the entrance of the newly built mansion.

A siren resounded across the island and caused several birds to fly off in fright. 

The people were exceptionally trained and the drills that Zach had ingrained in their minds enabled all the soldiers and the employees of the family to act as planned without causing any panic.

Soon the dining hall was emptied. The servants and the technical manpower who were unable to fight were currently in their rooms. They knew that they would only be a liability to the soldiers if they were found wandering outside by the enemies. As such, they complied with the instructions issued by Zach and didn't dare to move around.

The soldiers on the other hand were more spirited than ever. Excitement had finally found its way to them.

They rushed to their rooms to get their standard issue gear in mere moments and assembled outside the mansion in neatly aligned rows and columns, fully dressed and armed to the teeth.

Zach nodded at the swift response and appreciation was visible in his eyes. The response was in fact far better than he had imagined. There were no stragglers and no dumbos who were unable to understand the gravity of the situation.

"What happened?" Diana had never left his side as she wanted to test the capability of her team as well. She finally broke her silence and asked the question that she wanted to ask since the moment Zach ordered the soldier to sound the alarm.

"It looks like someone wants to deal with us in a clandestine manner." Replied Zach in a cool and calm manner as if they were coming to the island for tea time.

"Who is it…the Hunter family?" 

"I don't know but…it should be related to them. We haven't dealt with anyone else in the past month who might retaliate in such an aggressive manner."

Zach was in fact sure that this had something to do with the Hunter family. The several warnings of the Windsor family leader came to his mind and supported this line of thought as well.

"How many of them are there?"

"I don't know the exact number but… there should be a few hundred judging from the number of ships trying to encircle us."

Even the soldiers who heard the statement were dumbfounded. They hadn't expected the number of enemies to be that huge.

"What are our orders?" asked Diana worriedly. 

"What else? Destroy them." replied Zach in a matter-of-fact manner as he fiddled with the positioning of the drones to adjust the viewing angle. He wanted a holistic view of the island in order to ascertain the approximate locations where the enemies would land.

Diana wanted nothing more than to do that but she was afraid that the amount of training that the soldiers underwent on the new equipment was insufficient and could lead to some accidents during the battle.

Therefore, she was of the opinion that long range fire with the help of machine gun drones was the safest option. It would enable the soldiers to stay out of the danger zone and any accidents wouldn't claim the lives of the soldiers. It would be more like a field exercise or a practical test with live targets. 

Moreover, the thermal vision drones were highly effective against infantry and could reduce the number of the enemies drastically without compromising the battle stamina of her soldiers. The machine guns attached to the drones had a very high firing rate which produced a lead rain that was impossible to escape, even for some agility based C level mages. It would allow them to cover extensive area while targeting scattered enemies and groups with equal efficiency.

Most of the enemy forces could be taken care of using this method but the scattered enemies with high agility and high strength would have to be taken care of individually by the soldiers.

Diana believed that the remaining enemy forces could easily be taken care of using guerilla tactics at minimum cost.

She believed that her plan was perfect and Zach would definitely approve of it.

With a smug smile on her face, Diana relayed her plan to Zach and asked his opinion instead of carrying out his orders directly.

"Good job coming up with such an elaborate strategy given the little amount of time. It is a comprehensive strategy that encompasses even the training of your soldiers into account, BUT…there is one thing that you failed to take into account."

"What's that?" Diana didn't think she had missed anything concrete. She believed that she had considered the situation from all possible angles before formulating the battle strategy as the commander of the forces of Smith family.

"It's that we don't just want to win the battle."

"What do you mean?"
