Those words gathered everyone around.
“What is it?”
Everyone turned around. They seemed as eager as wolves that finally found food after starving for days.
It was so crazy that their eyes would pop out of their sockets if it were physically possible.
“Do you guys still remember Erudia's Project Atlantis from fifteen years ago?” asked Gary.
Chandler nodded right away and replied, “Of course I do. That project has another name, and some called it the Dragon Palace Project. If I remember correctly, my predecessor was the one who kick-started it.”
Every other Erudian nodded.
Many were unaware of the existence of that project, but the leaders of Dragonites knew all about it.
Gary nodded. “That is the legendary underwater project that prompted eight hundred thousand Erudians to go missing for six long years. Neither their friends nor their family knew where they were, and it was as though they had disappeared into the wind. Truth was, they had gone to work on this project.”
“Yeah, I know about it. That project was eventually scrapped midway because it was too big. The technology, resources, and finances at the time weren't sufficient, so the project had to be abandoned.”
Most leaders were still confused at that moment.
“So what exactly is Project Atlantis?”
That was the question everyone had.
“It's really complicated. “The gist of it is that it is a project to build an enormous underwater training base that would be used for ocean exploration.
“In layman's terms, we're basically trying to create an underwater empire similar to the legendary city of Atlantis,” replied Gary.
“From what I have gathered, Project Atlantis' main structure was completed before the project was scrapped. It's a maze down there though, and there is no leaving the place without a map.
“No one even knows the general location of the project. That
information is still in a sealed folder.”
Craig immediately knew what Gary was going to say.
The former asked, “So... you're saying we can lure the Warmachines to that location and trap them there?”
“Exactly! We can't trap them forever, but this will at least buy us some time.
“I've heard that the training base for Project Atlantis was basically sealed, and Leviathans will have a hard time breaking through. I also know that the location of this project is extremely secretive.
