1320 Look at the Sky, It’s Going to Rain Soon.
While our hero Wang Teng was getting everything ready—
Numerous orders were being relayed, back at Defense Planet no. 29’s headquarters.
The military hub started operating like a giant machine; countless well-trained troops were starting to gather.
Everything was happening in secret; the dark apparitions didn’t notice a thing.
General Cameron was extremely careful. Even while he was sending orders to gather the troops, the message being sent was that it was just a drill.
Only the highest authorities, the generals, knew about the real plan. There was definitely no problem with them.
The invasion of the devil mind dark apparitions infuriated General Cameron, making him grow vigilant.
This time, every general taking part in the plan was tested and filtered carefully to prevent any infiltration.
General Cameron was at the moment standing in front of a huge floor-to-ceiling window in the command building. He sternly glanced into the distance, worry showing in his eyes.
General Qi Yuanju and the others were also there; they were discussing battle strategies.
The other generals noticed General Cameron’s worried gaze. General Qi Yuanju exchanged glances with the other generals before asking, “General Cameron, is Colonel Wang Teng all right?”
Everyone’s gazes flickered.
That was their main concern.
Is everything truly all right?
They believed Wang Teng, but the matter sounded a little unrealistic.
Was he really able to sneak into the apparitions’ den and snatch the devil ovum?
That wasn’t something an ordinary person could do.
However, the lead General chose to believe and bet on Wang Teng. He mobilized all the troops to cooperate with the young hero to launch a full-force attack on the dark apparitions.
Definitely a mad decision.
Everyone felt it was unlikely for the General to take that kind of decision.
If he hadn’t reviewed the plan multiple times, they would have thought he had been substituted.
General Cameron turned slowly and scanned the crowd. Then, he replied with a smile, “I stand firm about this decision. I believe in Colonel Wang Teng.
“He has never disappointed me.”
Silence.
No one spoke. They were stunned.
This wasn’t the answer they expected from him.
That’s too subjective!
It wasn’t something a decision maker should say.
However, upon careful thought, they realized that he was right. Wang Teng had completed every mission to perfection, and couldn’t find any fault in him.
The devil mind race’s invasion of their headquarters was a huge matter.
Now, they knew that Wang Teng had already snatched the devil ovum in the past, and even captured a devil mind creature.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Both the ovum and the devil mind race were troublesome presences. Humankind found it hard to deal with them.
In the end, Wang Teng took care of both.
He had done so many things in silence, making understable why General Cameron had high hopes for him.
Their leader continued, “Don’t feel pressured. I will take full responsibility for my decision. I will present my resignation and take the blame if anything happens.”
Everyone’s expression changed.
“No!” General Qi Yuanju was quick to shout.
“We made this decision together. How can you take all the responsibility?” General Ukeri shook his head.
“That’s right. We are prepared to bear the consequences since we’ve all agreed. All of us have been through countless wars; we are not afraid of one failure,” said General Kimberly in a low voice.
The other generals agreed. Their words were filled with resolution and fearlessness.
General Cameron moved his lips, but chose to swallow his words. All he said in the end was, “All right, let’s make this our final attempt and fight for our lives!”
“Let’s fight for our lives!”
Their gazes turned firm as they shouted in low voices.
…
It only took three days for all the military power in Defense Planet No. 29 to move quietly. Aside from a skeleton crew that stayed to guard their base, the other martial warriors had boarded battlecrafts and went to the mountains by the outskirts of the apparitions’ base. Then, they split into smaller teams and snuck into the mountains.
However, only a few of the military units infiltrated the mountains. The other teams continued lurking elsewhere, using military exercises as an excuse to avoid arousing the creature’s suspicion.
Dark apparitions were spread all over the planet. If they moved too openly, the apparitions would definitely discover their real motive.
Back on the mountains’ outskirts, General Cameron also ordered another batch of martial warriors to seal off the region, and to kill any suspicious creatures, all to prevent them from sending news back to their base.
