As the last of the research facilities was destroyed, Exodus felt a huge weight lift off of his shoulders. Finally, the production of Supers would come to a halt; now they got to take the fight to the enemy itself. He didn't even bat an eye as the people they saved started calling him and his team 'The Trio'. An odd name, but it was inconsequentual.
From there, Exodus and his squadmates began to attack the enemy itself. Supply lines, command posts, nothing under Beastman control was safe. Exodus' careful strategy and use of his teammates' proficiencies made sure that the Beastman Empire felt every one of the Trio's assaults. From a modified pincer trap to a simple bait and switch tactic, Exodus employed every attack strategy he could think of to cripple the Beastman forces.
These attacks and operations would occur for the next nine months. They even saved a couple of human-controlled towns from attacks by Beastman forces; however, they promptly left after the attacks were over. They would not rest, they would not falter.
During the down-time, however, Sovereign continued to poke at Harbinger's supposed attraction to Exodus. One of his favorite lines was "Harbinger, stop trying to get into Exodus' pants, we have Beastmen to kill". This would, more times than not, instigate an argument between them, which Exodus had to break up. However, these were few and far between, luckily. Exodus didn't agree with Sovereign that Harbinger was attracted to him; their relationship was purely professional. He stated that they only worked together because they had a common enemy with an even more common goal of destroying them.
Exodus used recently gathered intelligence to lead his squad to another Beastman garrison. This one was huge; he estimated them to be one hundred thousand strong. "What the hell is going on here?" he said; never had he seen this many Beastmen gathered in one spot. Too large to be a raiding party, no this was a defense force. It had to be. But what were they guarding?
"Harbinger, tap into their comms. See if you can figure out what they're up to." Exodus got a bad feeling in his gut; something seemed different about these Beastmen.
