All the members inside the base, felt suffocated with Jack's modifications.
The whole city started sucking up the energy from the surrounding areas. It drew more energy than what could have easily given them an year's supply of sprit stones for the whole academy.
All that just to bind every member on the base.
And the moment he was done with them, the visitors came for Jack. These mercenaries, the ones that were bought with money and connections, didn't know that they are victims of one of the biggest mistakes the elders could have ever made.
These mercenaries are the victims of incomplete information.
Because of the rush, the elders didn't really explain what kind of enemies they were going against and these idiots did the most idiotic thing any idiot could ever do.
They rushed at the base.
There is also one more thing… these mercenaries thought that Jack would actually be captured and the rest of the base members took control of the formations.
